Install Modded RC30 from Bug Terminal?

---

Hey guys,

Sadly, I've got Vista64, which works fairly well, FYI.

Anyways, because of it I can't install the USB drivers.. But I figure I'm just using them to access the terminal, which I, on RC29, apparently already have access to...


If I copy recovery.img to the SDcard and then use the filemanager to put it in /system, would I be able to flash it from the homescreen? What commands would I use?

Just

$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /system
cd /system
# cat /data/local/recovery.img > recovery.img
cat /data/local/recovery.img > recovery.img
# flash_image recovery recovery.img
flash_image recovery recovery.img
#

?? Is this going to do something bad...

Thanks


**I don't have write permission to /System using Android File Manager. I'm sorry I'm a linux newb here, what cmds do I need to use to overwrite that file?

I have the same problem: I am using Windows Server 2008 x64 and there is no 64 bit driver for ADB. I ended up installing a Ubuntu VM:

Well, I tired txting this to someone...

cp /sdcard/recovery.img /system
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system
cat /data/local/recovery.img > recovery.img
flash_image recovery recovery.img

Then booted into recovery mode and pressed alt-L...
And it doesn't work.

I guess it's VMWare time... zzz

Check out my post over at AndroidCommunity http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f...and-root-6867/ this will allow you to install the modified upgrade without the adb, and sdk.
