Re: Cannot Flash recovery image...
 

Thank you all!! I wish that I could share good new but...

I actually did reformat several times today and reinstalled the Sprint RUU. still no luck.

Man, I am feeling like an idiot!

Re: Cannot Flash recovery image...
 

Haha yea for sure.

Re: Cannot Flash recovery image...
 

You are on stock RUU? Then you will have to re-root before anything else.

Re: Cannot Flash recovery image...
 

Sorry to continue to be a pain...

I did re root but I cannot get the flash image to take.

Re: Cannot Flash recovery image...
 

Have you reset the box and phone? I also want you to try the method that is first in my tips and tricks thread.

Oh, and don't worry, we all had trouble at least with one step haha.

Dude We all were like that at some point. Im glad its working. wE need to get Smalk's working now. I remember doing mine and going through the same thing

Re: Cannot Flash recovery image...
 

Thanks to all for your continued support!! You all are awesome!

OK I have discovered something in trying to flash. When I go through the Flashrec sequence and finish the backup image step, I never get to the screen that says Flash Custom RecoveryImage.

Any thoughts??

Re: Cannot Flash recovery image...
 

Finish these steps here .your almost there .


Step 3: Once it's finished installing, unplug the usb cable, run the app, and hit the button, "backup recovery image". If you get an error, try rebooting your phone, make sure the usb cable is unplugged.

Step 4: Exit app, and mount the sd card again, and move recovery-backup.img to your desktop, then rename recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img to recovery-backup.img

Step 5: Unmount sdcard, unplug usb cable, and go back into the flashrec app(should be named recovery flasher in all programs list)

Step 6: hit restore backup image. Once finished flashing, power down phone.

Step 7: After you power down your phone, hold the Vol Down button, then hold down the power button. Phone should boot into hboot. Press home for recovery.

Step 8: To ensure you have a backup of your phone before we continue, do a nandroid v2.2 backup.

Step 9: After the nandroid backup is complete, you can now choose apply "sd card update choose", and choose the fresh 06 Rom

Step 10: Reboot your phone and you should be all set.

Hi Athlet1c

I went through your instructions and after the Hboot and pressing home for recovery, I get locked in the HTC startup screen.

Any thoughts?
