And this outside adb shell, in the same directory where I did the push:

C:\androidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell flash_image recovery recovery-
RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
error opening recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img: No such file or directory

Ideas?

Ok. Most likely you dont have the recovery image in the directory. Try this. Copy the recovery image to the tools directory of the sdk. Then, outside of adb shell, (making sure you are in the tools directory of the sdk) execute the following command:

adb shell flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img

This should work as long as you have the recovery image in the correct directory.

can i use the rom from modaco? or at least the themes?

No way! This rom is a GSM rom and if it works at all and does not brick your phone then it wont have the right software to make your phone work. A dev has to create a rom specially for the CDMA Hero that has the right drivers.

I am feeling really special, not being able to make this work, but that is the folder that it has been in all this time. I have even downloaded and pushed it several times. Proof:



So I am not sure where I am messing up.

Thanks for all the help and hard work on this BTW!

Meh. Not hard work. Just experience. The hard work is what the rom devs do. And it is difficult at first but once you get it trust me, you get it.Okay let's try this. Go into the command prompt (not adb shell) into the folder where adb and the recovery image is. Try to execute the following command and see if it works.

adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img /sdcard/

This will put the recovery image on the sdcard. If this works then we will continue.

Sweetness. Ok. Now type in the following:

$ adb shell
$ cd /sdcard/
$ su
# flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img

That should work. Note, don't type in the $ or the #. Those are just there to show what the command prompt should look like.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Worked Like a charm, THANK YOU!!! Just booted to the recovery image and all is well.

p.s. Might want to edit the origional instructions, one your daughter goes to bed, to include the cd to the sd card, that is where my problem was.

If I am able to I will. I understand that the instructions were a little hard to follow for beginners which was what I wanted to avoid. Glad you got it working though. Welcome to the world of Android hacking and please enjoy your stay

I'm getting suck trying to push the recovery img out to my sdcard

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img /sdcard/
cannot stat 'recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img': No such file or directory

I believe I have root access:

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
