E: cant open /cache/recovery/command

i now have root again but get this line at system recovery, cant apply new cm rom, or recovery image

help appreciated!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
You can flash the recovery image through fastboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobirichmond:
im sure i never had this much trouble getting the cm recovery image before i knacked the phone, someone willing to help??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
What do you mean by you now have root again??

I think you're trouble is that you need to update your system recovery, which is the fastboot command B-man007 posted in his response

Try re-reading cyanogen's wiki especially the part about Cyanogen's Recovery image (there's also a link to the thread for that image in my signature)

Also your info is pretty vague as far as what problem you're having, where you're stuck, what steps you've taken to get as far as you have. The more information you provide the easier it is to help!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobirichmond:
hey. sorry for being vague

right. i used to have the cyanogen recovery image. i used this to update my phone using the apply and zip from sd opton, i downloaded the latest cm rom and it wouldnt boot, i still had an old update.zip file on my sd, so ran this and it got even worse, so i used the dreamimg.zip, this reverted me back to 1.1 WITH NO ROOT :(

all i want is the new cm rom and the cm recovery image,

ive been reading some old posts that say if i flash an old jf rom it gets rid of my cache/recovery problem, but i cannot find anywhere to download this zip as its no longer on his blog!

also i dont know how to do this fastboot thing, where do i put that command? telnet? android sdk? (i cannot use the latter)

point of insanity now :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
I'm pretty much copying & pasting something I told some earlier here

Nice graphical guide for installing Cyanogen's Recovery Image

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news...android-phone/

I'm not sure if flashrec works with RC29 which is what version you should be on after flashing DREAIMG.nbh, but you can give parts A1, A2, & A3 a shot, that would probably be the easiest way to update your recovery. If you can't get flashrec to work skip down to B2 and that will show you how to do it using telnet which does work from RC29

Once you have that imagae istalled, go to cyanogen's wiki and start back at the section titled "File Download" and you should be back on track

thanks, im trying this as we speak, thanks for youre help its much appreciated

i can actually flash my phone with the latest build but it wont sign in to my google account with a data connection, so i cant use the market or the internet!!

is there a problem with this rom? it says its stable!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
I'm not sure exactly where you're at, at this point

I know you flashed DREAIMG.nbh, which would have brought you back to RC29 which is a working stock build. From there you should have been able to sign in with your google info and been able to gain market access

The steps I've helped point you towards, will help you get the CM recovery, and then update your phone to the latest cyanogen build
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobirichmond:
im going to reflash dreamimg.nbh, then i can use the app in the link to flash the cm recovery image, and update to the latest cm build, when i reflash dreamimg.nbh i will have to root again? sorry, its getting late and i really need this fixed before bed!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
From RC29 after flashing DREAIMG.nbh

Go to here you and use section's A1,A2 & A3 if flashrec works

If it doesn't use section B2. Now you should have Cyanogen's Recovery Image

Now go to Cyanogen's Wiki and pick up at the section called "File Download" Those steps will guide you through installing the ADP image and then updating with the newest Cyanogen build

------ Previous version details ------

For those of you who prefer the 'old' style windows mobile builds as per special request ;) here is a Dutch ROM that I've build using only the latest official dutch releases for the HTC Leo and Topaz.

The ROM contains about 95% of the Leo packages including Manila HTC Sense UI version 2.5 1920.2525. I've added no other packages so you are free to add whatever you want.

The ROM can be downloaded from here:

http://www.mijnbestand.nl/Bestand-JDBKDRPV7DEP.zip

Use hardSPL v.1.83 to install!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] patensas:
Is deze nog getweakt of zijn enkel de manila 2.5 bestanden toegevoegd?

Wel eervol dat dit op verzoek geschied!!

Heb je ook de laatste OEM drivers toegevoegd?

Is this version tweaked in any way or did you just add manila 2.5?

It's an honor you did this on request!!

Did you also add the latest OEM drivers?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] PDB1808:
Hi patensas: no special tweaks: it's the same as the TEO_23506 version but without the custom theme.

(I hope you're happy with your ROM?)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] thysone:
Nice one and very much appreciated. been waiting for a rom NLD with sense 2.5

Although the original HTC nld release shows some sort of memory leakage prtoblem. It was using more and more memory even when I did not start up anything.... I stopped using NLD HTC release because of this.

Is this the normal HTC release OS version? I'm not that much into versions so that's why i'm asking.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] burningwheels:
How is this ROM performance wise compared to e.g. Duttys??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] PDB1808:
I myself never actually used the original NLD HTC release so I really do not know about the memory leakage. The R1 version is now no longer fully based upon the official NLD releases.

When I install something to device ( instead of sd) , I get duplicate items in the startmenu , with english name and an standrd blue white icon .. the shortcuts are : htc calendar, htc people, htc music, htc footprints and htc twitter ... They keep reappearing even after I have removed them from the startmenu.

Nice Job Mate. Rom looks great!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
I noticed that your rom doesn't have the zoombar enabled in opera, there is also no zoomslider ( like stock opera) that makes navigating webpages a littlebit difficult. MAybe you could enable the zoombar in a future release ?

In the meanwhile, if anybody who uses your rom wants a working zoombar, just install the cab I attached.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Kikker2:
Thanks for the dutch ROM!

I also cannot zoom in opera, but with the .cab is it oke!

2nd issue: the end key. When you press the end key en hold it, nothing happends. In other roms you get the lockscreen or a quick list.

Maybe to fix this in your next rom.

Edit: and ı can't find the marketplace. I think it is not in this ROM
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] PDB1808:
I'll fix the Opera zoom fuctionality and the end key in the next release. I did indeed not install a number of applications so you can choose what you like to install. A cab for Marketplace can be found here:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaArtist401:
This phone has basically become a nightmare. Im seriously considering getting rid of it and just going back to a stable phone. Basically, im trying to get off the rom im currently on and suddenly activesync wont work for me. I just want to know if there's a different way to install roms. When i used to have a tilt years ago, i remember there being an alternative. So i just want to know if anyone knows what i can do as an alternative for installing a rom. Or if someone knows how to fix activesync, that would be helpful as well.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Yeah, in the beginning it´s like this

but now we have very good and stable ROM´s much better than official ones, just have patience!

Hope your activesync prob went away;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaArtist401:
Yea, im a pretty patient person, just I hate when a device locks up(that was my annoyance with the iphone 3G). Anyways, the current rom has been great so far(firestorm 4.8). It seems the problem lies in touch flow3d(atleast for me). Touch flow 3d causes me problems in certain things. Such as the last rom i tried which was an AF. Was great with everything, til i started getting into deep conversations via text messaging. Phone froze like 3 times on me, in a row. I had to keep removing battery and repowering which definitely angered me. But the rom i have now doesnt have touch flow, and i think thats the only way to go for a stable rom(atleast for me). I will have to get into another "textversation" to make sure its all going good. So far i like the stability and speed.

Can anyone with this specific phone confirm this.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ualdriver:
I've been reading the copious threads about ripping movies onto the Touch Pro 2, and have been using the Catalyst 3 program with some success by just using the standard Touch Pro 2 settings in the software.

I read in some of the threads that some software on the TP2 can use the hardware acceleration function and some can't which makes for smoother movie viewing, etc. My question is this: When I put my converted mp4 movie on my SD card and onto the TP2, how should I view it to get maximum performance from the device? Should I put in a folder so that the movie is in the Album viewer and tap it in the album viewer and view it from there? Should I just locate the movie file using file explorer, tap on it, and view it that way? Or should I open the included Windows Media Player, then open the file from within that program? Or does it even matter? Will all 3 methods provide equal performance?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] chrisrj28:
As to answer your question I just use the album viewer. I have the shortcut in my favorite programs and use that to navigate to my videos folder and select my movie and play. Im sure there is a way to create a shortcut to the Video Player itself through the regisrty but I havent found it yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
You want to play the file using HTCAlbum, and not Windows Media Player; but whether you launch HTCAlbum and then load the file, or whether you associate .mp4 files with HTCAlbum and launch it from File Explorer makes no difference (except that the second way is probably easier!). HTCAlbum is quite possibly already the default application for .mp4 files anyway, so you may not need to actively associate it.

Does anyone now hot to use custom ringtones/audio files for the alarm?

I have one i've been using for a couple of years now, but I'm not allowed to choose it in the alarm interface, I can only choose between some preinstalled ones, although I did copy it on the device.

What I've tried so far is moving the audio file to the ,,Rings,, folder in Windows, but that had no effect.

Any suggestions, or third party apps for this?
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] czdjj:
When you want use your alarm-sound, copy the alarm-sound to Windows or Windows/Rings , but it must be WAV format. Otherwise use another soft, g-alarm, cradle alarm (I use cradle alarm and it's great.)

[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Liltrix:
on the alarm issue

i figured this out by accident when i was getting really pissed with the same problem...

so open up your alarm menu, (either click the clock and go to the second panel, or just settings>clocks & alarms)

see the little bell icon above the time... select that and that opens up the menu for alarm sounds... i guess they have done it this way so you can essentially have 3 seperate alarm sounds/settings... but its a round about way to select a "default" by choping it out of the settings sounds menu

Is there any solution to this?

Thanks,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] GeitjeG:
I run SPB 3.5, and indeed it doesn't work together. Sense is being inactivated as you install SPB. But you can access quite a few HTC apps still. Just by looking for them in the windows map on your device, you can also manually add shortcuts to them in SPB.

Examples of apps that do work:

- Albums

- Camera

- Video camera

- Footcam (of the footprints suite, though this doesn't work completely well...)

- Facebook

- Twitter

Apps that do not work:

- Footprints

- Audio manager

I just use different software for audio, footprints I won't use at least in the near future.
