Does this allow you to flash a rom without going into a recovery.bat?

And no its not my wire or usb port because I cant syn my TP2 info with no prob. this I know bcuz I jus did it yesterday.
Yes I have restarted my computer after the new installation and Yes I have rebooted my phone many times...so I know its not that....I'm stuck!! and its pissing me off..........however...Wat I will do is try 2 do this on my wife laptop since she has Vista....and see if it works...bcuz she has the Hero...So and as far as I know...all her contacts saves to her laptop...


Also on another note....how do I get to save my contacts to my Google account from my phone when I transfer them from another phone via blue tooth?....when I do it that way it saves it to the phone and doesn't give me the option to change to Google.....or at least I didn't see it....I know its under "Detail"...but how do I get to it? any suggestions?

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
after the word cat there is a space and before and after the greater than sign also.
is that right.

It looks like you typed it correctly. Based on that error I have to ask if you have the flash image on your card? We have to put the FILE on the card NOT the FOLDER. Could that be it?

Yes, that is one of the benes of full root.
Power off.
Hold down Down Volume and press Power.
You will boot into hboot.
Select Recovery.
It will boot into Recovery without a PC.

I guess what im asking is, does it being fully rooted make it easier for us?

How can i tell if im fully rooted now

[sfld]

Do i need to keep recovery and all these other files on the root of my sd card?

Or i can remove recovery.img and the other things

HTC Sync doesn't matter. If you watch any of the videos, it shows you that HTC Sync doesn't matter.
What matters is the USB debugging. As long as usb debugging is on, you can run all the commands in the instructions.
In fact, if it's easier, connect the phone using Charge Only. As long as you can see the "USB debugging connected" message in your notifications, you're good to go.

Re: moving contacts to google.
I don't know how not to move them. I just created a contact on my phone and it should up on the pc in my Gmail contacts in about 20secs.
I don't know if it's different when you transfer them from another source, but for me they sync instantly.

@acedooncoon-your post was lengthy so I didn't quote
You do not need sync to work to root. Just ignore that error and continue. You made a android backup right? Then everything will be restored once you complete the process.

Yes it makes things much simpler among other benes.

You can tell you are fully rooted by trying to write to \system, gimme a sec and I'll post one method.

Yes you can remove all the files from your card.

Ok, my turn-why do you always double post? j/k

I havent gotten the chance to watch the video bcuz Im at work...and bcuz Im in the basement my connect is not allow me to watch it....so i have to wait untill I get outta here....lol....but thanks....as far as the contacts....when I add a contact directly on my phone it does transfer over to my google as well....and it even gives u the option to select "google" or "phone"...i jus noticed when I transfer a contact via blue tooth it copied as "phone" as the default....but its not a big deal...I just wanted to know if it could be adjusted...but thanks anways....

Haha, its all good. Yes you can edit your posts as soon as you post.
I followed fenixjn's example here

There's prob a simpler way but writting to system is one of the whole points of full root so I wanted to learn.
You could sub in any app if the name/path is correct.
