Make sure the recovery image is on the root of the SDcard.

Push the flash_image binary to /data/local/bin/ on the phone.
Then use "cd /data/local/bin" to change to the directory.

Type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/TCRI.alpha.img"

That should do it :)

whooper90 - superb thank you very much, and coolbits thank you very much too for your excellent input.

nearly swapped back to the magic with the wife, was doing my head in - chomd 6755 - was copying/pasting and had stuck a 6 in there for some unknown reason!

I've flashed this recovery image without errors. Now I can boot to recovery and I see the new recovery image, but nothing else, and device doesn't reboot or something. This is normal? I thought that I'll get a menu with some options or something. And I suppose from what you say, that device must reboot if I don't press the button combination, but in my case it stucks in this screen.

When in recovery open console ./adb shell
you get #

Now you can do:
/sbin/backup.sh
This will make a backup of your phone to /sdcard
and if you screw up something go in recovery again and do
/sbin/restore.sh

This is main reason for recovery for now...

c:\rtattoo>adb shell
# chmod 755 /data/local/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/local/bin/flash_image
# cd /data/local/bin
cd /data/local/bin
# ./flash_image recovery /sdcard/TCRI.alpha.img
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/TCRI.alpha.img
header is the same, not flashing recovery
#

Is that OK?
