I am wondering what happens if we ever forget to remount the filesystem as RO.

Also everyone that rooted should buy SU File Manager & Terminal from the market. It's very helpful. One click RW/RO toggles. I find just as important as Resco Explorer was to windows mobile.

No, the last command produced an error. It's telling you how to use the command. You need the command (flash_image) followed by the location you want to put it (partition) followed by the file you want to put there (file.img).

It should look like this:

flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img

Do we actually have to do this or does it revert to RO after we reboot?

EDIT:
Answering my own question. I think it reverts automatically since I get the read-only error each time I do this. Also, someone just posted on XDA that "adb remount" Works the same as the long remount command mentioned previously. Much easier!
