after flashing this last command: $adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.0H.img. it just returns to cd:\android\tools. does that mean i was successful? the other commands gave some digits and stuff.

When i boot, i was told to press power and home button at same time. \if it boots to your image, you have succeeded.

tried it and it works. so i answered my own ?

can i reinstall my nandroid backup from this mode?

thanks.

edit: answered my own ?'s

I tried to flash recovery image from terminal on phone doing it like this:

flash_image recovery sdcard/recovg.img <----- changed name to a shorter one

Get the following error:

mtd_read error at 0x(lots of numbers) (out of memory)

any clue why this happens? Tried different recovery images.

My computer doesn't discover the phone properly in fastboot mode (adb devices) so no contact that way.

Have the .2005 engeneering spl and phone is rooted.

Hope anyone can help me.

any one got this flashed and working on PVT32A running Fatal1tys 1.2 Hero rom (modded for PVT32A by skittleguys)? I can flash it and all seems well, but back+power gives me the old skateboarding recovery. Also I just tried to go into HBOOT-mode and it gave me a bunch of errors saying a bunch of files where gone/wrong. What can I do? (I fastbooted this recovery and checked /system/ for recovery.img but there is none there, even tho init.rc states it flashes /system/recovery.img) I'm running engineering SPL, FYI.

:edit: The files shown as missing when entering HBOOT mode are named something like this SAPPDIAG.ZIP SAPPDIAG2.NBH SAPPIMG.NBH

Okay so I just learnt how to boot into recovery mode, I thought fastboot = recovery, home + power was the solution!

You wouldn't by any chance be running ubuntu jaunty? If so there seems to be some problem with the rules files.

Solves it tho. If this is not the case, I can only hope you'll get it back up.

G'day mate- i don't actually have my magic yet- i am just researching all this as much as possible before i get it (as i did my G1 back in january)....

Have you thought about pimping out the recovery image like Cyanogen has the G1 recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523558

thanks for all your awesome work....

Would be great to have Nandroid restore posibility in recovery image menu.

Well, 50 minutes with my phone and it's bricked. I don't mean, a little bit either. It only boots to the htc magic screen, vibrates once, then does nothing. I cannot enter bootmode by any means. I guess this is what a bricked magic is really like. Too bad there're no unbrickers.

Caid.

Will Nadroid 2.1.1 be able to restore files made with Nandroid 2.1?

Great work with this recovery image.

thanks Amon_RA,

flashed recovery v1.1 just fine using your steps. However, in your steps:

$adb push recovery-RAv1.1H.img /system/recovery.img

is that really necessary? I dont see the point in that since dont you need to just push the recovery on the sd and then flash? besides, it fails every time i try to attempt it so i just moved on and it works.

I was under the impression that you type in the $fastboot commands in the ADB command prompt in windows while the phone is in fastboot mode. Although when I type "ADB Devices" in ADB it will not find the device. Although in the OS itself ADB recognizes the device. What am I doing wrong?
