Got root, but when trying to flash the recovery ROM over stock 2.1, I just get "flash_image: not found"

Universal 1-Click Root

I just want to say that I am a n00b when it comes to rooting, and this application works great. I also want to confirm that is works on the Sprint Hero CDMA 2.27.651.6.

Again, thank you a thousand times........

that is because you dont flash_image on the phone. use rom manager for an easy way to flash recovery. It has the stock clockwork and ra 1.6.x in it.

Push flash_image to the phone and then you can flash. alternatively you can go the rom manager route, I'm not a big fan of clockworkmod recovery and 1.6 of Amon is kinda dated. I prefer Amon 1.7 which you have to flash manually.

Not sure if boot-patched.zip should be flashed afterwards like in the original 2.1 root. Someone else please chime in on this.

Yes, if you plan on staying on the stock rooted ROM, you should flash my boot-patched.zip from recovery to keep full root in adb.

I just tried it on my Hero and although it installed superuser I still don't have any root access. Programs requiring superuser say root access not found.

I wonder if you maybe
1) need to flash a rooted ROM, or
2) use the boot_patch zip mentioned in this thread.

Do you have a custom recovery, like amonRA, or clockwork? I'm kinda new to rooting, but I got my Evo rooted, and I'm watchin this thread for my buddy with a hero, and these are things to check, I think.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I rebooted it and it worked fine. I ended up installing cyanogen but now I'm restoring it back to my original back up...just didn't like froyo. Live wallpapers were cool though

Right on, glad you got it all hammered out. You know froyo has 10.1 flash for your browser, and uploads through browser are (mostly) fixed? I don't know, I'm liking froyo. But glad you're all good now.

No Superuser

I installed this universal root (1.6 and 1.62) on a CDMA Hero (alltel) and super user is to no avail......any help would be appreciated.

I'm a tad OCD and the way my homescreen is organized at the moment makes me happy. Everything is alphabetized and the power widgets are all uniform. On froyo they didn't look to my liking, and the airplane mode was just called "plane"...it really bugged me enough to revert back to the original.

I was rather concerned that in the process of installing cyanogen it got stuck on the boot screen but was able to get it sorted out, then when I decided to revert back to my nandroid backup I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to do. It really was a perfect backup of my phone, you couldn't tell that I had ever done anything to it after I reverted back.

I've been reading these forums for a while and finally decided to register and post. I'm really impressed with how helpful everyone is here.

See: the 4 posts above yours .

@ ajaxBU , yeah, nandroid is pretty awesome, huh? I'm fairly new to Android, coming from WinMo, and am blown away by how simple (more or less), and safe (more or less) customization and root access is. Nandroid feels like a life raft, with a wet-bar

. On WinMo it was waaaay easier to brick your phone, and way harder to figure how to flash a custom ROM (at least for me, I never got it). On Android, first time, every time, pretty much. It's cake
