1. Make sure you have the Android SDK installed. Read HERE for more info.

2. Download 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download flash_image.zip

3. Download 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img

4. Unzip the first file, and place both in your Android SDK/tools folder.

5. Make sure USB debugging is ON

6. Connect your phone to the PC

7. Open the command window and navigate to the Android-sdk/tools folder on your computer.

8. At the prompt enter the following, one line at a time followed by enter
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
exit
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard
adb shell
chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
reboot
9. Your phone will reboot. When it is finished, back at your command window, once again enter
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
reboot recovery
10. With any luck, you'll have the recovery image back and can load custom 2.1 based ROMS again.
Tested and confirmed by GBhil himself. I have not tried this, but if you're stuck, it can't hurt to try. Mods, please sticky if you desire.

Edit: Here's the original post. You can get the downloads here:

This does not work for the offical RUU. You have to be rooted to use this method. This is a way to repair bootloader after usig leaked 2.1 test.

thanks for trying!

Based on the date that thread was started (Apr 11), that is for the test ruu.

The test RUU came with su, however the Official RUU did not.
