That did not work. error recovery.img doesnt exist. when using adb. and flash_image not found when using emu.

I have been flashing recoveries since the G1 and im to stubborn to ask for help, but i cannot get CW3 to flash. Maybe im getting old lol. And i have tried both these methods.

ive tried multiple times..
for terminal emulator after i put in the commands it doesnt do anything. (is that what its supposed to do?) it shows like this
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (ive renamed file to recovery.img)
then when i goto check Rom manager at the top it says rom manger premium v3.0.0.2
Flash clockwork mod recovery
current recovery:2.5.1.2
latest recovery:2.5.1.2

by the way im currently on the rom
CyanogenMod for Glacier (myTouch 4G) :: V6.1.2-RC2 (12/21/2010, #2)

This is what I got
$ su
# flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img
usage: flash_image partition file.img

Same thing here man where is Amon_RA recovery lol

That is a CW 3 Recovery for Gingerbread. ROM Manager hasn't been updated so even if you have the correct recovery, ROM manager will still say 2.5.x.x
Reboot into recovery to see if it actually worked. The text will be yellow in 3.x.x.x or blue in 2.5.x.x
If you use terminal emulator it will give you a blank line after you flash_image.

In terminal after I typed the command the next line is blank rebooted into recovery n it said recovery 2512 so what should I do next actually its blue in 2512 so do that mean it worked?

Has anyone here having trouble update their SDK yet? You need to update to GB 2.3

I finally got it working thanks everyone for the help

Flashing through terminal works

move it to the root of your SD I use Linda file. Next open emulator
type :su then hit enter
type : flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

That's what I did

Sounds like the file isn't where you're telling it. Make sure the recovery you downloaded is named exactly recovery.img if you are writing:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

flash_image not found.
what is wrong??

flash_image: not found
I'm really not sure what's going on with the emulator but it seems like this command is not part of the script for some reason...
I tried the same commands through adb shell and got the same response "flash_image: not found"
the adb method isn't exactly working out for me although I am persistent. I'm typing the command line EXACTLY and getting this response in the emulator, that's for sure.

finlly flashed cwm3 but everytime try to flash a rom says intallation aborted?

[GUIDE] How to add Flash_Image to rom using terminal

Okay, so i know several of you, like myself, have been trying to flash the recovery 3.x using flash_image through terminal but keep getting an error. This is because the rom you are using doesn't have the flash_image file in the /system/bin folder. I found these instructions on another section of the xda forums.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any damage done to your phone. do this at your own risk..
1. Download and extract the file i have attached.
2. Copy the file to the root of your sdcard.
3. Open the terminal and type in these commands.
su [hit enter]
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system [hit enter]
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin [hit enter]
Now your able to flash recovery 3.x from terminal using these commands
su [hit enter]
flash_image recovery /sdcard/(recovery name).img (recovery name is whatever you have your recovery 3.x named)
i hope this helps at least one person...
Happy Flashing

Thanks bud, saved me the trouble .

No problem...like I said , if it helps at least one person im happy to know it was worth my time...

1. Make sure you have Rom Manager Installed (Free in Market).
2. rename "recovery3......img" with "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img"
3.put this "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img" on sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
4. Open Rom Manager and choose 2.2.1.4 from "All ClockworkMod Recoveries"
that earlest !!! then ClockworkMod Recovery v3..... will now be installed on your phone.

I wonder if this procedure requires busybox?

Okay I have tried multiple methods as posted in this section and I cannot get to Clockwork recovery 3.xxx... I did it once before and then reverted back to the version flashable via Rom Manager. It takes me straight to fastboot when I try to reboot into recovery. Any clues what I'm doing wrong? I'm running CM6 currently and I'm slightly annoyed that I got it to work once but can't again

Have you tried to go into Rom Manager and flash the latest recovery for your phone? You can also try my method of installing ClockworkMod Recovery. It can be found HERE. If you have ADB/Fastboot set up you can also try pushing a new recovery img to your phone. If you dont have ADB set up you can use MY GUIDE to get it set up.
It sounds like your phone cant find the recovery img (could be missing).
Hit me with a PM and I can help walk ya through it if you need.

help. i downloaded the file and flashed it. i was able to boot to clockwork 3.0 and flash cm7. now when i choose 2.5.1.4 it says "an error occurred while flashing your recovery". not sure what to do. i can still get 2.5.1.2, but it won't let me get back to 2.5.1.4 which should be 3.xxx. i would like to flash to a newer nightly, but can't get the clockwork 3.xxx.

If you are on iced glacier try going into your settings/applications/Rom Manager and uninstall updates. Then go back to Rom Manager and try flashing 2.5.1.4

i am on cm7 nightly 24. i thought i would try to uninstall updates anyway. i went settings, applications, manage applications and rom manager is not there. i went to the market, thinking i would uninstall and reinstall rom manager and it only gives me the option to open. no uninstall. not sure what to do now,

There its a new zip I posted in the cm7 thread a page or so back
Sent from my HTC Glacier

i deleted the file i had. downloaded the latest file, flashed it and i still get the same error message.

How do i flash the latest CWM touch?

The file from the official site is in an .img format.
i actually do have version 5.8.4.5 touch on my s3 right now because someone compiled it into a zip file but the latest version is 6.0.1.4.
i cant update through rom manager either.
any help please? thanks

I posted this in another similar thread... search the forum before opening a new thread next time this was anwer a bunch of time
Download your version of cwm there
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG
Download terminal emulator from the play store. Run the terminal
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Type everything right. If you typo the 0 and 18 wrong, you get a brick.
I did this on my phone to install cwm touch without any issues

You can update by grabbing the recovery IMG file from their site and use android terminal emulator to install it!
su
dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-hercules-2.1.8.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 <- (this is for Hercules obviously)
And the "openrecovery..." Is the one you downloaded and place it in the root of sdcard make sure it's word for word and you should be good to go!

So I type 'SU' and hit enter. Than I copy and paste ' dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-hercules-2.1.8.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22' replacing ' openrecovery-twrp-hercules-2.1.8.img' with the name of my recovery and then replacing ' mmcblk0p22' with 'Hercules' and hitting enter?

No not quite, if you're using the phone that's appropriate for the forum you just copy and paste
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-hercules-2.1.8.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
And openrecovery-twrp-hercules-2.1.8.IMG with whatever your name of the IMG file is, so if it's openrecovery-twrp-hercules-2.6.1.0.img then that would replace it. The block mmcblk0p22 does not get changed or else your device will brick!
So to clarify:
The
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-hercules-2.1.8.img
is the path to where the img file for TWRP is. If you're downloading 2.6.1.0, and move the img file to the root of your SDcard, then it might be something like
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.img
Now the
Code:
of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
is where the img is going to be written to. From what I see, the last bit
Code:
mmcblk0p22
varies on the device and where the recovery installs. It's a different location for the Galaxy S4 compared to the T989 (also known as hercules).
Say if you were to rename the download to something easy to type out, like just recovery.img and placed in the root of the sdcard, then it would look like
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
Then you should be able to boot into recovery and it should be updated!
If something goes wrong, your device will brick, so make sure you download the right file. I flashed the .tar by accident on a friends phone, but Odin can easily fix it by flashing it with that.
Sorry for the short responses, I was on my phone when I was replying!
