[Recovery ROM] [07-Mar-2010] RA-hero-v1.6.2
This recovery is NOT yet fully compatible with the new apps2sd method! (as implemented in CM5.0.7)
This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source.
The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.
This recovery if for the HTC Hero only, so NOT the Sprint Hero!!!, it will also work on the 32A Sapphire if you flashed the 6.35.x.x radio and 1.76.x SPL, if you have an :
- HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
- HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
- HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.
Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items.
You can also use the volume keys (vol-up + vol-down) to navigate, and the CALL-ANSWER key to select items (in case your trackball is broken).
Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!
Please make sure that your ROM supports apps2sd if you plan to use the ext-features! (/system/sd MUST be available in the ROM)
For those with ext4 issues, try running this in shell :
Code:
tune2fs -E test_fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Features
- full ADB access in recovery mode
- Awesome Care-Bear version! (Blame packetlss for talking me into it
) - Busybox v1.15.3

Install
There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME) Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/... adb shell $su (not required if you have root already) #mount -a #flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
via fastboot + adb -> In case you don't have a custom recovery, so when you get signature fail errors
Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img adb shell mount /sdcard adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img adb shell reboot
