Put the recovery image on the SD card yourself. Get the file from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523558

i have also tried that. once i placed the file on the sd card, i opened up terminal and typed in the command:

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

after i pressed enter nothing happend on screen, so i turned off the phone and tried to boot into recover, but the bootloader screen still appears. am i typing in the wrong command or something?

Do it again and this time wait for the # to appear again. Then type reboot and hold home button while it's booting. Should take you to Cyan's awesome recovery screen

Good luck

... Have you tried flashing it from fastboot like cyanogen recommended if you ran into any issues?

After you open the terminal, did you type "su"?

yeah i did type in su. i have been away for a few days so i ma going to try the suggestions mentioned. and no i havent tried doing it using fastboot as i havent got adb set up yet. i will also try that later. thanks for the suggestions.

I have the same problem. When holding power+home, it flashes t-mobile G1, then the screen disintegrates and it reboots a couple times, finally stopping on a blank black screen.

I have no problem booting straight into the O.S., I've just lost my recovery.

I've done this before and it worked, but I recently had a catastrophic failure and had to start from scratch.

If all else fails or you don't fell like using adb, should be fine if you downgrade and re-root, etc.... unless there is something else messing up your recovery partition.

Put the recovery.img file on the root of your sdcard

Then try:

    mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

    cd /system

    cat /sdcard/recovery.img > recovery.img

    flash_image recovery recovery.img

I've gone from JF 1.5ADP to Modaco using the cyanogen 1.4 recovery without any problems.

when you flash using terminal, you need to wait till you get the # back, and then restart the phone

which recovery image were you previously using as I was using JF 1.43 recovery

Hi djosiah

did you read this post ?

(Please substitude by the file name "update-cm-4.0.4-signed.zip" by "cm-recovery-1.4.img" in my post - sorry, I was misaken as to the file name ...!!)

My problem was a corrupted cm-recovery-1.4.img (a few thousand bytes of the MBs were missing ...!) A new downloaded cm-recovery-1.4.img (from another URL) solved the problem finally. The rest was cream - totally happy now.

Good luck!
