help! deleted recovery.img

---

just wondering if anyone can help me out here, i was trying to flash the cyanogen hero recovery image to my phone using fastboot so i erased my stock recovery image, only to get the message "remote: signature verify fail" so im now stuck with no recovery image and dont know how to get it back, can anyone help me out please?

ok so i managed to mount my system as read write in fastboot and put the recovery.img from the wwe version in to system which has gave me my recovery back but when i boot it just stays on the hero screen and says fastboot usb at the top if i have it plugged into my pc. i have no idea how to reset the original files and i didnt back up, can anyone help me pleas?

Well after trying for hours to fix this, I give up. I can't install the system.img from wwe rom posted on here it says verify failed or something similar so I stupidly tried to flash the magic 32a heroski port hoping it would work and still nothing. Is there anyway someone could post there nandroid backup file and help me flash it to see if that works? Or should I just give up. I'm really stuck now lol

you can't flash anything from fastboot because the images need to be signed.
what version of hero do you have?
if you have the wwe hero(it's not needed :P ) i can send you (later, now i'm at work) my nandroid backup (system,boot,recovery, splash...) so you can restore them

I have the orange hero. I used fastboot to load cyanogens recovery image then flashed the heroski rom hoping it might work lol so I ended up using fastboot to erase system. Question is do you think your nandroid backup would work? I sure hope so it would be a great help!!! Thanks.

i have the unlocked wwe hero. i'm uploading now the system, boot and recovery to rapidshare . it'll be up in a couple of minutes. if you find a orange hero backup you can restore in the same way ;)

download the backup from(it's better if you verify the md5):

http://rapidshare.com/files/263636068/bkp.rar.html
MD5: BEAE167BCBB1FF6D3D2701FB64604203

Put the contents on sdcard (i'm assuming that you put the images in a folder named bkp on the sdcard)

so:
download the recovery from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/26262114...covery.img.zip and extract it
put your phone in fastboot mode (with the phone off, press the back key then turn the phone on).
then:
boot with the downloaded recovery

 fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img

0) mount the partitions

   adb shell mount /system 
  adb shell mount /sdcard

1) do a wipe
select the wipe option from the recovery menu

2) restore boot

   adb shell flash_image boot /sdcard/bkp/boot.img

3) restore recovery

  adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/bkp/recovery.img

4)restore system

 adb shell
 cd /system
 rm -rf *    (ignore the errors)
 unyaffs /sdcard/bkp/system.img

5) unmount the partitions

 umount /system

6) reboot

reboot

hope it helps

Ok thanks. Have to wait 4 hours to try it as I'm in work lol, what is an md5 for, just out of curiosity?

A MD5sum is a checksum to verifiy that your downloaded file isn't corrupt.
