The ! is a sign that you don't have a recovery image installed correctly. The words is a great sign, continue with back up from nandroid. Oh and don't partition your sd card until you have backed it up!!

THANK YOU!!! :cheers: Too bad I can only hit that Thank you button once eh? :p You are the effin MAN!

Everything is working as it should now. Doing the NANDROID backup as I type this.

It's part of a recovery/bootloader for the rooted hero. You'll see alot of peeps mention "Load the recovery image" onto your hero. Well that's the last step you wanna do after you root your phone. Then when you power up while holding down the home key you'll have access to it. In there you'll have the option to create a "nandroid" backup of your phone. Basically a FULL back up of your ROM. So if you ever need to restore, it'll put everything back to exactly how it was when you create the backup.

Don't worry about non of that busybox stuff. All you need is the recovery image flashed onto your phone and that's it. There's a pic floating around on what it looks like. I posted it on here or XDA I think too.

when i hold the home key while powering up i get a ! inside a triangle with a phone next to it...??:coffee::bs:

You haven't gotten the recovery image loaded! Check my Sig and my tips tricks thread. Look at rooting hero at top and choose the link I wrote its from ppcgeeks and its the second link. Follow exactly and u should get it on there.

Yea there's a link that's now called flash a recovery image sorry for confusion.

Re: Ok, I need a Nandroid backup for idiots guide.

okay well i follower that link to A T
nothing.
still have the ! in the triangle

i have the recovery image on my sd card..
i typed this in and it said not found.
adb shell flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img

Re: Ok, I need a Nandroid backup for idiots guide.

Restart the box and phone.

Put it on the sd card again. I know you said it is there, but do it anyway, I had to. Once it says its on there by giving you a time type adb shell and press enter.

You will have a dollar sign then type cd /sdcard/ and press enter

Then type su

Should have a #. Flash the image by using the flash_image command you stated above. If it doesn't repeat your command in the line below it, then it didn't work.

I did this process at least 5 times and it finally worked, I don't know what I changed, but it worked. If one of the steps doesn't work as stated let me know.
