On the OP u find the instructions if you allready have a custom recovery.
Amon_RA said:
Install

via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
Code: 
Copy recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.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-v1.7.0.1.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

After u did all those steps, turn off you phone and then boot into recovery and u will have Amon-Ra v1.7.0.1

In cmd, when i type "adb devices" serial number of my phone appears. Does it mean that i can now try to flash recovery?

Where do i write this code? In cmd as well? And what is fastboot?
Sorry for my ignorance

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-v1.7.0.1.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
adb shell reboot

One more question:
Cant i just flash it through Terminal writing :
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img

Okay navigate in command to where you AndroidSDK is (every new line is a new command so press enter, do not enter anything in brackets into command prompt):
Code: 
cd\
cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools\ (this is where mine is yours may differ)
adb shell reboot bootloader (your phone has to be on and connected via usb with usb debugging for this to work)
(now make sure the recovery img in the tools directory of your AndroidSDK and continue with the rest of the commands)
This cannot be done on your phone with terminal since you won't have access to it while in fastboot. If you want download ROM Manager from the market, flash ClockworkMod and then just flash the zip posted above. Or if you already have a custom recovery just download the same zip from above and flash via recovery.

I don't see it listed, but is there a version of this custom recovery for the Wildfire?

question guys,

rather than me reading 100+ pages of info to see if the answer is in there i hope someone can reply to me directly, i would really appreciate it. :D

Currently on Elelinux speedmachine v3 Android 2.2.1, and i want to give a cyanogen rom a try.

my nandroid backup is cyanogen mod v1.4 +JF. do i need to load a different recovery.img or can i just do a full wipe and install cm_hero_full95.zip?

also, if i need to flash a different recovery, my hero is not recognised via usb anymore, i think the connection is stuff? although it still charges. what are my options? im guessing flash via sdcard?

thanks in advance!

Im afraid I have done a terrible mistake..

I was going to update the recovery of an HTC hero I just got but flashed the wrong recovery my mistake (HTC hero CDMA)... Now I cant enter recovery of course but I can enter fastboot...

I am trying to do the command
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img

but I just get "error: device not found"

Is it possible for me to flash a new recovery and if that is the case, how do I do that now from fastboot or Hboot or whatever its called.

Thanks for any response....


****edit****
trying fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Micke\Downloads\recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
but now I get message
"sending 'recovery' (3972 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)"

Please, if anyone could give me any help I would be so greatful


****edit****

you are not right since the thread of magic points this recovery for it when you have a specific radio and spl
already solved with cwm recovery

    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.

    All source code is available at github.

    This recovery if for the HTC Hero only, so NOT the Sprint Hero!!!, if you have an :
    - HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
    - HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.
    - HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
    - HTC Eris you should go here.
    - HTC Tattoo you should go here.
    - HTC Nexus One you should go here.
    - HTC Evo 4G you should go here.

    Important notes
    • Make sure your battery is at least 30% before using nandroid!!
    • 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.

    How-to Navigate
    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).

    Features
    • full ADB access in recovery mode
    • Busybox v1.15.3
    • HW-Key navigation (volume keys + CALL-ANSWER) option
    • Extended menu (with keyboard-shortcuts):

        • Bck Google files :: Makes a backup of the Google proprietary system files in /cache/google

    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-v1.7.0.1.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-v1.7.0.1.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-v1.7.0.1.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
adb shell reboot

    Download

    • ALWAYS check the md5sum to make sure the zip isn't corrupted.

    Only flash recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img if you have a 32A Sapphire with 6.35.x.x radio and 1.76.x SPL, recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img will NOT boot! I'll create a new Sapphire version soon.


    Change-log :

    v1.7.0.1
    Code: 
    - Fixed some minor bugs
- Recovery and scripts use /sd-ext instead of /system/sd as mountpoint to support the new apps2sd method (implemented mostly by Chris Soyars)
- Added an option to backup/restore Google proprietary Android system files (backuptool.sh written by Cyanogen)
- Removed "move apps2sd"-option as it's not needed anymore with the new apps2sd method
- Updated BART to v1.3.1 (updated by Dumfuq to support /sd-ext)
- Added a wipe cache only option
- Nandroid now backups/restores /cache again by default
- Dalvik-cache wipes /cache/dalvik-cache now
- Removed SDCARD: prefix in output when chosing zip to flash
- Updated kernel to fully support ext4

    v1.6.2
    Code: 
    - Added power off menu item
- New unyaffs binary patched by Koushik Dutta and Packetlss to fix the "losing root"-issue and incorrect file-time after a Nandroid restore
- New dump_image binary (by Brainaid) patched by Packetlss to fix the "bad blocks"- Nandroid restore issue.
[COLOR="Red"][B](This will not fix old corrupted Nandroid backups! Please make new backups!!)[/B][/COLOR]
- New mkyaffs2image binary
- New flash_image binary
- Updated busybox to v1.5.3
- Nandroid menu options will NOT backup or restore recovery, cache, misc, splash1+2 (to avoid issues)
- Fixed wipe option not wiping when ext was not present
- Created carebear versions after the idea of packetlss
- Switched the Nexus logo to a Green Carebear with Nexus One logo (Thanks Montalbert!)

    How do we revert back to the original hboot in case we flash this to over the current hboot?

    In case someone will say "just flash the backed up hboot image", i also would like to ask how do you backup the current (original, never flashed anything before) hboot?

    Thank you!

    You can get the orginal HBOOT from the old RUU package.

    If you want to flash it back here's an update package to flash it (I'm not responsible for any bricks, make sure you know what you are doing, have the right HW etc).

    This is "original" 1.76.0004 hboot, that came shipped with the Hero.
