same here , keep getting no such file or directory .

I'm trying to flash it using the console .

Any help please
[G1 Android Development] Jesus_Chris:
it says i did everything correctly and to delete the image after flashing, but when i boot back into recovery its still the old one, any idea what im doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] kieshari:
errors

I've searched and have not found an answer to this

anything dealing with the sdcard in the recovery image gives me an error

wipe sd: ext partition

error : run wipe_ext via console!

part sd: fat 32 + ext 2 + swap

run sdtools.sh via console!

I have tried reinstalling with different downloads I know about 10 times. And I still get the same outcome.

Can anyone help me please

I have a mytouch 3g
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
1. you are posting in the wrong forum, you have a sapphire/Magic/MT3G and not a G1/Dream.

2. You should have flashed the Magic 32B recovery (see sapphire forum) and not this recovery. This recovery will work, but it's not made to run on a MT3G...

3. The error tells you to run the script manually via console or adb, maybe you should try to do that ;)

Running the script manually will give you more feedback so you know exactly what is going wrong.
[G1 Android Development] erdinc:
try this

#mount -sdcard instead of mount -a

then the line from the first post , it worked for me
[G1 Android Development] naria01:
Is there anyway (maybe in a new build) you can include a terminal in the recovery ( kind of like cyanogens recovery)? That would be great :] I still love the ease of use of this recovery image.

Great work

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] vincom2:
There's an option to go to console isn't there?
[G1 Android Development] naria01:
I didn't see one...
[G1 Android Development] vincom2:
Eh, I have this recovery, and I've definitely used a console in it before :\

even the first post in the thread mentions a console:

so surely there's one?
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Or you are blind as a bat, or you flashed the Magic recovery instead of the Dream recovery. The Dream recovery has a console.

Please stop posting silly things like this in this thread, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] naria01:
OK, I will stop being silly, and go back to cyanogens recovery instead... thanks, but no thanks
[G1 Android Development] iPhone iWing:
yes cyanogen's recovery is great but you are blind as a bat! what is wrong with you?? look!!
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Obviously its you and not the recovery. So instead of being an ignorant jerk maybe you shouldo some research and see what went wrong. If you flashed a dream and not a mt3g then you should have a console.
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
Hi sir thank you for the awesome recovery images you have provided. I was wondering when 1.3 would be available? I can't wait for this.
[G1 Android Development] Burag:
Some of my thoughts for the new update:

There is new BART script (1.0.0)

And also new fix_permissions script (2.03, its called beta but ive found it stable)

HTC wallpaper is hmm... ugly? Imo black screen would be best option for background.

Option to convert ext3 to ext4 in main menu (like option to convert ext2->ext3, and yes it can be done from More Utilities, but it could be way easier if we have this option in main menu)

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] misterzak:
Just checking....

Do you have Cyanogen's cm-recovery-1.4 already installed, or are you coming from your first downgrade to RC29 or RC7?
[G1 Android Development] :
love your recovery... only thing to fix is add switchrom save and read as menu items same with utilities... otherwise perfect. Oh and a description/links what each menu item really does... to jumpstart newbies...
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
can you update the BART script in the next release?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I'll do one up tonight with the new bart 1.0, and also will add the new fix_permissions to my utility script and leave the original alone for the main menu fix uid mismatch option.
[G1 Android Development] new_guy:
anyone using this rom also using the new google maps, 3.2.0?
[G1 Android Development] osideous:
I have the same issue. Anyone figure this out yet?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Bart and Fix perms. update

I have modded my utility script to include the new Bart 1.0 script. I have also added the fix_permissions 2.0.3 script to the utility menu. This is experimental, but seems to work real well, and is much faster. The fix uid mismatch on the main menu is the original fix_permissions script. You can find the link to my latest mod of this great recovery in my signature below.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
This recovery image has nothing to do with a rom or maps.
[G1 Android Development] Brajin:
How can I reach utilities to upgrade ext3 to ext4?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
You need to open a console from the main menu and then type u or utility then enter. You will be presented with another menu.
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
We can't download the link is dead, it point to this url http://recovery-ra-dream-v1.2.3_bkmod_6.img/
[G1 Android Development] TheRealAru:
This recovery image is definitely a must have for those whom switch roms like crazy.. I love that USB mode, and to have the wipe settings right there, wow.. :)
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I fixed up the link in my sig. Thanks for letting me know.

[G1 Android Development] Jesus_Chris:
You my good sir are the man for this recovery :D
[G1 Android Development] Brajin:
This recovery image has been awsome so far
[G1 Android Development] trclev:
Flashed this recovery (had 1.4). Accidently flashed through E Terminal instead of console (flash_image recovery /sdcard/xx-recovery-xx.img). Phone runs great and reboots great, but when do the end + home it gets stuck on G1 splash screen. Will not go to recovery image. Like I said boots great and all apps work, just can not open recovery or fastboot. Is phone bricked (which if this is a brick I can handle it till contract up and get newer phone) or is it just a file mix. cannot flash older roms or recoveries, lucky was on stable rom (xROM 1.5r4). If this is just a glitch that may have fix please let me know. if not, well lucky only thing wrong is that I can not flash new roms (like being with stock rom on steroids). if you have possible fix here is my email trclevenger@gmail.com , because will not be going to rom pages so much since I can not try them. thank you
[G1 Android Development] songoku119:
If you can still boot into the phone, than most likely you should still be able to flash the recovery image again through the terminal or just connect it to the debug bridge and use adb shell (same as terminal, just easier with keyboard). I think you should be able to do that fine. Just go back to the basics right! Download a telnet client and start it up. when you get into it type:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd sdcard

flash_image recovery recovery.img

cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
[G1 Android Development] Ajan Tuek:
1.3.0 preview works really well......

recovery 1.3.0 preview works really really well so far. i'm sporting a rooted mt3g right now. flashed the new recovery image. performed the nandroid backup, copied it to my pc. wiped my sd card and repartitioned for a larger swap and ext (new option is sa-weeet!), threw the nandroid folder back on my sd card, restored, rebooted, and all my settings, contacts, wallpapers, widgets, etc were perfectly restored.

well done mate!
[G1 Android Development] ettr11:
i rooted my G1 with RA-dream-v1.2.3 and i traid to have a new rom so i got only a welcome page says:

welcome

Build :RA-dream-v1.2.3

and in top list of

[Alt+B] Nandroid v2.2 backup

[Alt+S] Apply sdcard:update.zip

.....

......

..... ets

and when i give a try to one of the list i get an error

says can't mount sdcard

WHAT CAN I DO PLEASE????

My G1 is not working any more
[G1 Android Development] ALIASADEJA:
Apk

Is there an apk file for this recovery like cyanogen?
[G1 Android Development] ALIASADEJA:
What did you do to get it to work for the mytouch?
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
I grabed 1.2.3

How do you launch the second Black and White looking console? I thought it was u from what I thought I caught in the thread somewhere, but no dice. I really wanted the sub menu so I could launch Bart without having to manually mount and type it all out.

As well I typed more in recovery console thinking it would launch it and my G1 just sat there. I had to Home+Menu+Hangup to get out of it.

Nevermind figured it out. "utility" is the magic word.
[G1 Android Development] johnphamiliar:
Sorry if this is a noob question but ive tried uses search but i just got this RA recov, flash it and everything seem to work fine but i need to make my linuxwsap up to 96mb but this recovery menu only have a preset one of 32mb, how do i access the "console" lile how cm1.4 recov have it so i can manually part my sd card?
[G1 Android Development] Moriah:
Read this page it will tell you how to do it from Recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=543985&highlight=dusty
[G1 Android Development] johnphamiliar:
i know how to do it on cm1.4 recovery, it have an option when i just scroll down to "go to console" and bam i know how to do the rest

but on this RA recov, i dont know where or how to "go to console" to put in comand.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Are you joking? Maybe you're on an older Recovery, because v1.2.3 has a menu option to go to Console. Or you can just click alt-x.
[G1 Android Development] johnphamiliar:
oh really? well i download the 1.2.3 from the first page and install it but i was like what the hell...if its so advance i dont see no console option lol maybe i download it the wrong one? ill re-try. thank you for that cuzz i was pretty puzzled haha
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Are you on a G1 or a MT3G? Regardless if you installed the one in the OP of this thread, it should like exactly like the screenshot that Amon_RA put up. The 4th or 5th option is Console.
[G1 Android Development] johnphamiliar:
i redid everything and i got it to work! thanks for all your guys help!
[G1 Android Development] shizzyraw585:
It supports the myTouch out of the box, just follow the directions in the Original Post, substituting the name of the old recovery with the name of the new recovery. For example if you were to follow the directions for flashing via fastboot,

Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.0-preview.img to a location where fastboot can find it.

Boot your myTouch into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)

Connect your myTouch via usb to your pc/mac/...

fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.0-preview.img

For example, place the file in the root of your C drive (C:\). Then once your in fastboot mode,

fastboot devices

fastboot flash C:\recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.0-preview.img

WOW!

HOLY COW this looks awesome! great job Amon_RA!
[G1 Android Development] ggrant3876:
Awesome job. That's some real nice work.
[G1 Android Development] Magnemite:
Sorry if this is a noob question.

I'm running v1.2.3, and when I try to flash the new version, I always get denied. Using the recovery flasher app (flashrec.apk) I get an error "Backup FAILED: Could not run command."

Using terminal emulator command flash_recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.0.img I get an error as well.

Is this because I'm trying to do it while I'm on a Hero ROM? If so, what do I do to fix it?
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.0.img

Oh wow, can't believe I was that dumb. Thanks, it works now. [;

assuming this is good for the mytouch I have the preview but want this bad boy instead way more advanced
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Alt+f brings up the wipe menu, alt+w does nothing. :p
[G1 Android Development] xghostyxjokerx:
hey great job!!!

:):):):)i want to say you did a good job with this recovery....thanks alot!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Thanks :p , I'll fix that in the next version... lol
[G1 Android Development] mt3g:
will that be soon? lol my adb took a poop so I need a good recovery image to part my sdcard if not I'll just use the 1.2.2
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
... it's a minor bug , you can just use your trackball to select, I don't even know why people use those shortcuts anyway.
[G1 Android Development] mt3g:
oh lol ya I cant obviously MT3G it will work with out issues correct or no?
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
nice updates.

Please tell me there is an update coming for the MT3G ;)

Keep up the good work.

HELP

IS there a secret method to getting this installed...I have used the console and I have tried to enter these commands, but it is repeatedly telling there is no such file...this is starting to get on my last nerve...the img file is at the root of the SD card and still nothing, I have been at this for well over an hour with absolutely no luck...is there some trick I am missing?
[G1 Android Development] bert269:
Bart backup does not seem to work

Hey

When I try to run Bart from your new menus with 1.3.0, I get a message after a while:

Error: Run bart via console!

Any idea what that is about?

Also, When bart is working, what options do you use (since one cannot select the options)? Are you using -s (to save everything) ?

Thank for the great utility.
[G1 Android Development] mt3g:
what are you typing?
[G1 Android Development] xEM1x:
Thanks for this. Had a little trouble installing in recovery mode. I just flashed through my command prompt with phone booted up and USB Debugging enabled.

Not sure if thats risky but it worked.
[G1 Android Development] jacsonmoore3:
i have no problem coming from the v1.2.3

don't know what you guys are doing but don't use adb

install it from your terminal in you will have no problem..

thz for the update
[G1 Android Development] rwp71:
#mount -a

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.0.img

it is the second line that ALWAYS gives me the "no such file" error.

I have deleted and downloaded the img file literally 15 times making sure it is in fact at the root of the SD card. I would like to use this recovery image for it is the most comprehensive, but nothing I do has worked. Is it possible to rename the img file so I know there isn't any mystery spaces involved?
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
I have had problems like this before. I just renamed the recovery image to recovery.img. Then type the commands. For some reason I always have alot of typos.
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
Works flawlessly. And here I was thinking that this couldn't get any better. Good Job ^^
[G1 Android Development] rwp71:
Nevermind...I have decided to use Cyanogen's instead...it installed perfectly the first time, even though Amon RA's is the one I want, it is just not installing onto my G1.

Someone needs to make the installation of these recovery images easier...
[G1 Android Development] rwp71:
I mean do you or don't you need to put in the "#" before the line? Secondly, is this run from the console via my current recovery image, or can I use the terminal emulator from within the OS? Different people claim different things, and as an IT professional, this cannot be, it either works one way or another.
[G1 Android Development] Introspektive:
Don't need the #. Do it from console in recovery.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
flash on 2 phones thank you woderful work!:)
[G1 Android Development] jacsonmoore3:
make sure u put a space n between where it needed
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
flashed on 2 phones wonderful work thank you:)
[G1 Android Development] darock159:
great recovery

flashed it on 2 phones and it is working great!
[G1 Android Development] Tomb77:
can't get into recovery

I have never had issues with flashing. for whatever reason I can not boot into recovery after flashing 1.3.0. any suggestions?

edit: when I did it I had the usb plugged in to charge. I notice it said fastboot usb at the top afterwards. and now I can't get into recovery
[G1 Android Development] ytj87:
Awesome work. Went from the previous RA to 1.3.0 via console, no problem. Finally am BARTing with ease.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
my method

FASTBOOT!

rename the 1.3.0 to recovery.img and move it to the place on your computer you fastboot from <root dir> and power off g1. make sure your g1 is connected to your computer!

boot into bootloader by holding camera button while pressing power

when you see the skateboarding androids press the back button on your g1 to enter fastboot mode

open a command prompt on your computer and go to your fastboot/adb location. ~~~ on my mac~~~

cd /g1

./fastboot devices

./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

power off device and power back on...

viola!!!
[G1 Android Development] geokiss:
Skip step one, just #flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.0.img. Always work
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
oh and i believe that if you don't already have a rooted recovery this wont work for you? isnt this right? maybe the reason for some problems here
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
can u boot into the bootloader again, if so... reflash the image, then power off, and try it again
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
bart is so nice and separating those menu is a huge plus. Twice, I accidentally choose the Partition instead of wipe the Dalvik cache and lost all the data on my fat32. I used unerase on my PC to recover the data, but it was a pain.

Thanks for making the recovery so functional. I love bart.. :)

ext3 to ext4 conversion is not bad. Cheers
[G1 Android Development] problem1:
jus flashed
[G1 Android Development] RandumAccess:
I did it as it said to do in console and I cant get into recovery at all either :confused:

frustrating! lol
[G1 Android Development] fooyonghwee:
I have a 32A HTC Magic. Flashed the new 1.3.0 using adb and now I can't get into recovery. What should I do?
[G1 Android Development] RandumAccess:
join my club lol

I got a G1 dream and the new recovery flash failed for me also :confused:

edit: I tried all 3 ways, still no recovery afterwards

I have also re-downloaded the file in case of a bad download

I have to get old recovery back through terminal app whenever i use this recovery
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
1.3.0 is really nice I like how you cleaned up the menu and went with Sub Menus. First there was a ton of stuff and now well its clean and I don't have to worry about clicking on stuff I didn't normally use anyways. I really like how you brought bart in as a sub menu opposed to typing utility.

Thanks a lot man
[G1 Android Development] rockdevourer:
Excellent work, enjoying the update. I have noticed, however, that clicking with the trackball has become ultra-sensitive and it likes to double click.
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
flashed fine for me through termal on dream! Great work!
[G1 Android Development] fooyonghwee:
Found a way to install the previous recovery image. Just download a terminal emulator from android market.

Great Job once again Amon RA
[G1 Android Development] yoshitoshi:
can i upgrade from 1.2.2 to 1.3.0 ?
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
Yes just flash 1.3.0 as if its new and it will more or less install right over what ever you have installed.
[G1 Android Development] yoshitoshi:
Done!

wow sweet!!

thanks!!!
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
One request with bart thou. When you run it from the Recovery menu could you have it save maybe the bart file as the time/date opposed to "defaultrom". Then when you run restore could you have it allow you to pick what you want? Unless its beyond the scope of why you did it that way in the first place.

The reason I ask is when I do things to my G1 I often do a Bart backup before I tweak knowing that what i might do is often a good chance that I might screw things up and the only defense I have is returning to a build I just came from and I know normally by the date with a little note if I do more than one backup a day.

Sure if its a problem I could just type utility and run it the old fashion way, but hey can't hurt to ask. ;)

After I do a backup I wrote a little batch script on my PC that simply copies all of the contents of the Flash card to my network just incase I need to restore something later. My flashcard has been known to screw up now and then and I just rebuild it along with all of its contents.
[G1 Android Development] jkoenig00:
can you make it be able to downgrade from ext4 to ext3 to ext2 etc?
[G1 Android Development] oMszKikiIzWavyo:
Love The New Update But I Dont See The "Choose Any Update.zip" And When I Press ALT +W Nuthing Happens

Any Suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
I second that and THx 4 THa work done here.
[G1 Android Development] DameonAndMeagan:
Nice job man! Finally changed my recovery after many months lol

For some reason I wasn't able to get it to flash with your commands but I used another method through terminal emulator.

For anyone having problems flashing Amon_RA's recovery1.3.0 using his method, Try the one I provided below

Open Terminal Emulator

Input these commands

#su

A window should pop up, then Tap "Allow"

#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#cd /system

#cat /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.0.img > recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.0.img

#flash_image recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.0.img

Now all is well. Thanks Again
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
