Restore Recovery Image?

---

I'm trying to install Cyanogen 4.1.99, but I think I screwed up. According to Fingerlickin I need to install cyanogen's recovery image. First, before I even tried this endeavor, I was running Cyanogen 4.11.1 with the EnochXTra theme. I flashed the recovery image as instructed but, when I rebooted (probably where I messed up) I didn't see the usual recovery mode menu, just some triangle with a "!" in it facing a phone/pda (and NO text). Now I can't flash update.zip files. (Yes I tried ALT+S).

Also Fingerlickin pointed me towards fastboot. I know it's the key right now, but I don't know where to go from here. I think I still have root because I have adb running and could "su" without any complaints.

(I decided to start a new thread because the one I was in had a different problem. Also I would search the forum but I don' know what to search for.)

instructions are in the OP. if you can boot into the rom, use

flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img

after putting the new recovery on your SD card


if that doesnt work

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img

with fastboot



instructions to set up fastboot

you shouldnt need to flash the SPL if you have HardSPL or DangerSPL already. Just make sure you have the right drivers, and use the 1.6 SDK since its already out

If you have any others questions or need clarification, post here again

When I was in the rom, I used the terminal emulator, and when I tried to use "su" it said "uid 10031 not allowed to su". I tried "flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img" under adb and that flopped. Under fast boot I get "Error: cannot load 'cm-recovery-1.4.img'.

*Is nervous*

He has the DangerSPL

and do as david said. the cm recovery image must be in the same folder as the fastboot executable

reading fail, that's what little sleep for the past few days does

i have a android folder on my C:\ drive with fastboot.exe, adb.exe, and the AdbWinApi.dll so that is the folder i use whenever i need fastboot, i keep the adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll file in my system32 folder so i can use adb easier.

O dont worry he didnt mention it in this thread, it was in the other thread.

I do the same thing haha

@Technical Fart

Don't worry to much, your phone is still booting, its not bricked. Just take it slow and read everything carefully. since you got fastboot already set up, the hardest part is over.

Problem Fixed!!! I didn't know that you had to have the image in that same directory that you had the fastboot command in. Thank-you so much! It feels good to be in a cyanogen rom again.
