The patched recovery image is your gateway to Custom ROM installs and all sorts of cool stuff... here's how to install it onto your device.
- download this file and extract it to your PC or mac - open a command prompt to the directory containing the extracted files - type the following commands appropriate to your device / pc... GSM Hero (a Hero with a SIM card - e.g. the European Hero) on WINDOWS CODE adb-windows shell reboot bootloader (wait for device to reboot into bootloader) fastboot-windows boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img (wait for device to boot into recovery) install-recovery-gsm-windows.bat GSM Hero (a Hero with a SIM card - e.g. the European Hero) on MAC CODE chmod +x ./adb-mac chmod +x ./fastboot-mac chmod +x ./install-recovery-gsm-mac.sh ./adb-mac shell reboot bootloader (wait for device to reboot into bootloader) ./fastboot-mac boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img (wait for device to boot into recovery) ./install-recovery-gsm-mac.sh GSM Hero (a Hero with a SIM card - e.g. the European Hero) on LINUX CODE chmod +x ./adb-linux chmod +x ./fastboot-linux chmod +x ./install-recovery-gsm-linux.sh ./adb-linux shell reboot bootloader (wait for device to reboot into bootloader) ./fastboot-linux boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img (wait for device to boot into recovery) ./install-recovery-gsm-linux.sh CDMA Hero (a Hero without a SIM card - e.g. the Sprint Hero) on WINDOWS CODE install-recovery-cdma-windows.bat CDMA Hero (a Hero without a SIM card - e.g. the Sprint Hero) on MAC CODE chmod +x ./install-recovery-cdma-mac.sh ./install-recovery-cdma-mac.sh CDMA Hero (a Hero without a SIM card - e.g. the Sprint Hero) on LINUX CODE chmod +x ./install-recovery-cdma-linux.sh ./install-recovery-cdma-linux.sh Job done! Now if you pull the battery and turn on the device while holding down 'home', you should get the patched recovery image. Handy!

Hi,
Just wanted confirmation really that what the_milkman said about using "cm-hero-recovery.img" in every instance of "recovery.img" in the original instructions is the right thing to do? It would seem so to me as there is no recovery.img in the zip file but I'm a complete n00b at this so just wanted to check. Thanks. |

For what it's worth, I did the same when I saw the name of the file and it worked perfectly. Home + Power On now puts me straight into Cyanogen's recovery image. I've been making plenty use of it today trying (unsuccessfully) to get AppsToSD working.  This post has been edited by AlThePost: Aug 17 2009, 00:08 -------------------- |

Just to confirm, when you say you did the same, do you mean you did the same as the_milkman (i.e. "cm-hero-recovery.img") or the same as the original instructions? Sorry, just wanted to be 100% clear on what it is I need to do as this kind of witchcraft sends a shiver down my spine |

Your phone needs a few seconds to detect the USB connection. Wait 10-15 seconds (or so) after entering the CyanogenMod, before you enter the command. Then it works.

Great stuff Paul, using your guides and packages I went from stock Hero to your latest custom ROM and updated radio in no time at all, with no real problems along the way :-D
As I use Linux instead of Windows or Mac I did have to change a couple of things to get the patched recovery image installed though, for the benefit of anyone else running Linux this is what I had to do: 1. Run all the adb and fastboot commands as root (use 'sudo', or 'su -' to switch to the superuser acccount). When I tried to run the adb commands as a normal user I got device not found errors, and a bit of googling suggested this was a permissions problem. There's probably a more elegant way of fixing this problem (changing permissions on the device node for the phone) but just running the commands as root was quick and simple and solved the problem. 2. Download a Linux binary of fastboot. Paul's package includes binaries for Windows (fastboot.exe) and Mac OS X (fastboot) but neither of these will run in Linux. Again google came to my rescue when I found the Fastboot page in the Android Wiki, which included a download link for a Linux binary: fastboot for linux. I simple downloaded the file, replaced the Mac OS X binary with it, made it executable, and then I was able to run the fastboot command as described in Paul's instructions. 3. Just a note that no USB drivers are required to use adb, etc., under Linux. You will need the Linux version of the Android SDK installed though, and the tools subdirectory in the PATH of your (root) user.

So it's back to the beginning.... -------------------- Nothin' is easy
