-extract flash_image.zip
-copy flash_image to sdcard (or send it over "fileshare")
-go to terminal and type:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
cp flash_image /system/bin

-now you can flash your recovery

can anyone confirm this?

You might also need to change permissions on flash_image, to make the beastie executable (chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image).

Hi All:

Ever since flashing recovery 1.6.0 - 1.6.2 I notice that when powering on to recovery, the HBOOT check is taking a really long time as opossed to before. It used to be about 2 seconds when doing the HBOOT check, now its a matter of minutes. The info I get is this...
SD Checking.....
Loading (passdiag.zip)
No Image!
Loading (passdiag.ndh)
No Image or wrong image!
Loading (passimg.nbh)
No Image!
Loading (passimg.nbh)
No image or wrong image!

After that I get back to the main menu and I am able to use Fastboot, Recovery or whatever. It does not seem to be a problem, only I was wondering why this is happening and if I did something to cause this. Or perhaps it is a problem and I need to correct whatever it is that I did, LOL :)

I have been switching back and fourth with Cyan and MoDaco roms. Apps2SD and not, etc.

Any help is most appreciated.

This is the phone default image flash functionality. The phone scans the SD card for factory ROMs with those names to flash. If you put the entire ERD79 or ERE36 ROM zip and rename it to PASSIMG.zip, the phone will pick up that zip as ask you if you want to flash it. Just ignore these.

His point was it's taking minutes instead of seconds to get past these warnings and allow him to use fastboot. It's a valid concern.. it never takes more than 3s for me.

Well, I think I kinda overlooked that... but yeah, I did have this problem once...
had a lot of junk on my SD card and this took forever... almost 2-3 minutes... reformatted my SD and things working fine again... guess it just took time to scan the SD card...

I seems have lost "root" after upgrading to RA-nexus-v1.6.0.

In terminal emulator, the command "su" will hang at SU REQUEST screen" and after a few minutes, it comes up with the following pop-up message:
----------
Sorry!

Activity SU Request (in application Superuser Permissions) is not responding.

[Force Close] [Wait]
----------
Then I upgraded to v1.6.2, but it's still the same.

N.B. I'm not sure if it's really related to recovery upgrade though.. as I also changed my ROM from CM5 to DESIRE around similar time. But in DESIRE thread, they said the problem is specific to me only.

Question: How do I get back the root?

Thanks!

you need to turn on usb debugging.
Goto Settings > Applications > Development and turn on USB Debugging and then Reboot the phone.

HEY It works!!! I could never correlate this problem with USB Debugging!. Is this a FAQ or what? I see nobody's complaining about this problem..

A BIG Thank You!!

    This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source with a lot of things added by me. The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.

    This recovery is for the HTC Nexus One only, if you have a :
    - HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
    - HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.
    - HTC Hero you should go here.
    - HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
    - HTC Eris you should go here.
    - HTC Tattoo you should go here.

    Important notes
    • Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!
      You can do this by doing :
      • "cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue.
      • Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.

    Features

    Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items. Use the Volume-down key to go back to a previous menu.

    2. Start "Rom Manager"
    3. Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and wait for it to finish

    via fastboot
    Code: 
    Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img

    via terminal app
    Code: 
    Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)

    2. Navigate to RECOVERY with the the VOLUMEDOWN-key.
    3. Press the POWER-key to select.

    Previous versions :

    Change-log :

    v2.1.1
    • Fixed ext4 support in kernel! Update from v2.x if you are using sd-ext!

      • Removed : Device Drivers - Multimedia support

    v2.0.0
    Some things in v2.0.0 were kanged with a twist from the Clockworkmod recovery.
    • Updated kernel to 2.6.35 (SLCD and AMOLED are now both supported).
    • Added SDEXT support for update scripts.

    • Added "/.." support to the filebrowser so you can navigate up.
    • Added a mount menu so you can manually (u)mount stuff.
    • Added a toggle verification switch so you can flash those awesome unsigned winrar rom releases...
    • Fully re-wrote the wipe menu (it's not using a script anymore), added a few new wipe options.
    • Added "/sdcard/.android_secure" support , nandroid now backups/restores .android_secure (Froyo a2sd apps) by default.
    • Added a few new Google apps to the Google app backup script.
