Thanks Again

no when ever I try to get back to adb shell it just keeps on stating:-

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Not a directory (20) -

It's almost as though the dos commance prompt is trying to launch adb from the phone memory and not my local pc....
[Desire Android Development] murdoch1:
Help......

Ok.....I went into recovery mode, mounted usb and then typed the commands.

All went well until I then went to issue the following:-

cd /system/bin/

Response was:-

/sbin/sh: cd: can't cd to /system/bin/

For some reason I cannot enter the bin folder...... Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] Rudolfje:
Did you also mount /system?
[Desire Android Development] hauf:
I've got a strange (to me atleast) error. After flashing MCR3.1 i get a question mark when entering recovery and an instant reboot. Nothing happens when i try to access the recovery from the rom manager either. Flashed from DeFrost 0.7 after a full wipe using the fake-flash downloaded from the rom manager.

Edit: Nvm, after a couple of reboots i can apply update.zip and enter fake-flash again.
[Desire Android Development] murdoch1:
Thanks

Applied the following process.

1) Entered recovery mode utilising Fake-Flasher....then mounted the phone under the settings accordingly (USB Mount)

2) Ran a dos prompt as administrator.

3) Typed ADB SHELL (returned #)

4) Typed mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

5) Typed EXIT

6) Typed adb push reboot /system/bin - This pushed the file to the bin folder as far as I know. Did not error. Message appeared stating pushing file and a size.

7) Typed ADB SHELL (returned #)

8) Typed cd /system/bin/ - This then immediately returned the following /sbin/sh: cd: can't cd to /system/bin/

Any help greatfully recieved......

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] stewcp:
try changing into them one at a time... cd /system and then cd bin... if that doesn't work, maybe you need to mount /system again? could it be unmounting?
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
system on desire is mtdblock3

mount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[Desire Android Development] murdoch1:

Thanks Kali.....worked like a dream.......job sorted, I can not boot into recovery from Rom Manager.......many thanks.

Koush, i'm using RM on my desire with Richard's rom loaded from my sdcard, one thing would be usefull is to know on with rom we are running coz if i'm switching between 0.6 or 0.7 using RM i never know on which i am or i missed something ?
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
work or not ?

here after replace reboot i still reboot on red recovery
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
work or not ?

after replace reboot i still reboot on red recovery
[Desire Android Development] Koush:
Click "Flash Recovery" in ROM Manager first. Then "Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery".
[Desire Android Development] hauf:
After i have ran "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" in the rom manager, am i supposed to enter fake-flash without having to run the zip after entering recovery i hboot?
[Desire Android Development] FrAN_oC:
It works!!! I just flashed my phone while waiting for the train to arrive... :D:D

Keep on improving it!! It's the best development for my desire :)

Sorry for my english...
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Yes, once you have flashed the clockwork mod recovery you can choose reboot into recovery and it will reboot your phone into the recovery. You could also have a new rom on your SD card and choose the option to install rom from sd. It's all automatic now. A few taps on the screen and your new rom will be installed!
[Desire Android Development] hauf:
The thing is this. I have alreade used it a couple of times to flash roms and it works great. But i got the impression after reading all the comments that i dont have to run my update.zip (copied to root of the sdcard from the rom manager folder) with vol+ and power from recovery or go through the rom manager every time.
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
You don't. Just click reboot to recovery in rom manager and it takes you there. No volume and power button needed.
[Desire Android Development] thefox1102:
Running a HTC desire root using Modacos r2 few months back.

Just installed RM premium.

Flash ClockworkMod recovery = works fine (1.8.1.7)

Reboot into recovery = nothing happens!!

Download ROM = no ROMs available.

Backup current ROM = Types date, then nothing happens!!!

Am I missing anything?

Great work!!!
[Desire Android Development] hauf:
Great, then everything works as it's supposed. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
I'd maybe try clicking on flash clockwork mod recovery again? I have the free version and it works perfectly.

As for the no roms available... It's up to devs to get their roms on there!
[Desire Android Development] woutervr:
The same here
[Desire Android Development] thefox1102:
Sorry, but it does not work. RM does not reboot into recovery.
[Desire Android Development] jcdz92:
Working good, then bought the Rom Manager Premium

Drink a beer !

Thanks for great work
[Desire Android Development] gizy98:
Top work and ive paid for the Premium ROM Manager :)

Is there any fix so we can reboot into recovery directly via the app as it doesnt seem to do anything atm
[Desire Android Development] ph0rce:
For all those people who missed this earlier, follow this guide to fix the reboot into recover problem:

OK, it seems I can't post links but you need to read the following thread number: 699100

You just need to replace mtdblock4 with mtdblock3 for the Desire.

I did this & everything is great now. :D
[Desire Android Development] Jskjerning:
Haw do i get nandroid restore and backup to work?
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Posted that link for you!

[HOW TO] Fix Quickboot as well as reboot into recovery from ROM Manager.
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
one dude from Russian forum made a quick dirty fix for nandroid complete backup inc. ext partition - for now,though, u have to apply it every time u wanna backup ext partition - maybe u'll find some way to include it in you recovery?
[Desire Android Development] Ireas:
for the fix i only get :/
[Desire Android Development] Rudolfje:
./adb-linux shell mount /system

works fine for me, no need to specify the device.
[Desire Android Development] amjad_2020:
it don't work for me ........
[Desire Android Development] pgistrand:
Tried it on DefroST0.7d but it seems like /system is already mounted in readonly so it's not possible to adb push.
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
you need to be booted into the recovery mode and then try it...took me a good while to figure it out :)

adb shell

mount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

exit

adb push reboot /system/bin

adb shell

cd /system/bin/

chmod 755 reboot

reboot
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
The only issue i have found is in the new recovery -there is not an option to format the sd card like in the earlier recoveries??

ie -

you were able to setup swap,ex and then fat32...cant find the option and had to go back into the old recovery using bat files?
[Desire Android Development] dancedreamfly:
Found that you can only issue ADB commands after a fresh boot into recovery. If you attempt to adb shell right after flashing from SD you'll get the device or resource busy error. After flashing, reboot normally, then boot into recovery again. ADB should work then.

Updated to the latest ROM Manager, and the 'Reboot into Recovery' feature now works perfectly, no command line needed.

It's under 'partitions menu'
[Desire Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey koush/brien nice work. The method of flashing a zip that replaces ur "extracted recovery.img" with ur custom "recovery" is pretty cool. Quick question, if the recovery binary inside the *.zip was to be replaced with that of amonra's recovery, and all the dependencies that come with his recovery, should it not work ?
[Desire Android Development] fr0st420:
Where can I get the update.zip? It says download from a link below but I don't see it.
[Desire Android Development] pgistrand:
Booted into recovery mode but

adb shell

replys with

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Any advices?
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
I don't think you need it anymore but here it is anyway.
[Desire Android Development] dancedreamfly:
This was fixed in the newer version (1.8.1.7). You may download it from the thread at MoDaCo, linked in the first post.
[Desire Android Development] blackfox888:
Got it working! what confused me was, I assume it can reboot directly into recovery from the ROM manager. I now realised this just boot into recovery without having to press 'volume up + power'.

Awesome job everyone! Do I still have to leave the update.zip in SDcard or can that be deleted?
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Check out post 132 on this thread. You should be able to simply tap 'boot into recovery' and it takes you straight to the green recovery text. No other buttons required!
[Desire Android Development] blackfox888:
I tried that, but unfortunately it not working when I press 'reboot into recovery' from ROM manager!

DOH!! forgot to extract the reboot.zip!! Now working sweetly, reboot into recovery is working:)

can some one tell me the command to delete reboot.zip as I push it into /system/bin??
[Desire Android Development] Rudolfje:
Delete it:

./adb-linux shell mount /system
./adb-linux shell rm /system/reboot.zip

Move it to SD:

./adb-linux shell mount /system
./adb-linux shell mount /sdcard
./adb-linux shell mv /system/reboot.zip /sdcard
[Desire Android Development] blackfox888:
Thanks!

Hey!

Short question, please help!

Can this be used with the root process?

I mean after doing step 1 is it possible to boot into recovery with this method? So step 2 must not be done, right? In this way I could avoid using the "old" recovery and avoid to get usb bricked and flash some custom rom of my choice!

So would this work, or must step 2 be done that all works correctly?

Thx!!!
[Desire Android Development] Goof757:
lol I did exactly the same thing, forgot to unzip it first. Works perfect now :) good work all.
[Desire Android Development] ph0rce:
Please ignore!
[Desire Android Development] raion:
doesnt work on my desire.

ROM:

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed

Recovery said: Signature of update.zip failed. :(

Any idea?
[Desire Android Development] Koush:
You need a test signed ROM. Not release.
[Desire Android Development] Just_s:
Very strange issue

OK, so I got all the way through the process (after a few attempts) and I am sitting in the recovery screen looking at a beautiful green list of recovery options.

It reads ClockworkMod Recovery v1.8.1.7 along the top.

The problem? I can't do anything. No matter what I select, when I hit the power button, the screen just fades out, but no action is taken. I can't even reboot system now! Am I missing something?:confused:
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Yes you are missing something! You use the volume keys to scroll and trackpad to select the option :p
[Desire Android Development] Just_s:
What track pad? I'm on an HTC EVO. LOL

I'm good with the G1, but this issue on the EVO has me forclempt!:eek:

Did I get into the wrong thread and download a recovery not compatible?
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
As far as I'm aware, this recovery is only for the Desire / Legend.

I have no idea about your Evo. Sorry!

Try sending a message to @clockworkmod on twitter. This is his recovery.
[Desire Android Development] Just_s:
LMAO, excellent work on my part! Doh!

Well, I clicked on a link in the EVO thread and somehow got to Koush's instructions here. They worked flawlessly btw. LOL And so does the recovery aside from having no way to take action on anything :)

I guess it is back to the drawing board (and the EVO thread) for me.

Thanks.:D
[Desire Android Development] Koush:
There is an EVO version. Just grab ROM Manager off the Market.
[Desire Android Development] InspectorFrost:
im trying to get rom manager to work and have read the instruction on puttin reboot file in the tools folder of sdk ...ok so far

HERE'S the NOOB bit!

when i type "mount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"

i get an error "mount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system:not found

whats up with that ....not sure if i should have switched my phone off or hadit in recovery at this point...i did try the whole process with phone in recovery but i couldnt get adb shell going if phone wasnt on

remember,when you dont know...you REALLY dont know

Sorry to be so basic...but if i can just get this to work ,ill be over the finish line!

PS. the Clockwork recovery on RM is 1.8.1.7 (if that helps)
[Desire Android Development] Just_s:
Ok, have recovery onboard. Can access it by vol. up + power, but no matter what I do, I cannot get mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock4 on /system failed: Device or resource busy to work! Am I just slow?

Thanks Koush, I do have ClockworkMod and flashed recovery for EVO, pressing reboot into recovery does nothing. Do I need to do something else?

On the reboot threads, they talk about mounting a reboot zip, but when I try through ADB with mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system, I get:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock4 on /system failed: Device or resource busy

Any thoughts?
[Desire Android Development] Rudolfje:
for Desire it's mtdblock3. (/dev/mtd/mtd3 :confused:)

But

./adb-linux shell mount /system

will do the trick.
[Desire Android Development] Just_s:
I'm beginning to believe I am misunderstanding this set up.

Right now, I can use Quickboot or Clockwork Recovery to reboot to the /!\ screen, then power+vol.up, then down to the update zip, update and then finally into Clockwork Recovery.

I have to do all of those steps every time. Is that correct?
[Desire Android Development] Rudolfje:
If you install Rom Manager and place a reboot executable in /system/bin

you can reboot into recovery from Rom Manager.
[Desire Android Development] sucramco:
No need to push the reboot update. Koush has updated the Rom Manager, it also includes a couple of Ahmgskmod's rom downloads.
[Desire Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
??

hah this is so great man, thanks for the hardwork! Recovery setup
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
thank's

RM is 5 star app!
[Desire Android Development] raangu:
hi,

first thanks for this :D

but what means "test image" in the first post?

only a custom rom with root? for example the "[ROM-FroYo] DeFroST 0.7d" or

the "[ROM] Pays-ROM Desire Sense v2.0 Dalvik+A2SD" or means it something else?

thanks

EDIT: i have now read more of the thread... does the new ROM Manager the same like "fake flash!"?

.
[Desire Android Development] Rudolfje:
Testimage is flashed in step1 of the rooting process.

And yes, this image has root privileges.
[Desire Android Development] Just_s:
Thank you for passing that on. And thank you Koush for an amazing product!! I'm stoked that I got my EVO on the rooted track! :D:D
[Desire Android Development] scotch whisky:
Just downloaded 1.8.8.5 version of "ROM Manager".

Reboot problem is fixed.

mtdblock4 instead of mtdblock3 problem not fixed. Prevents Nandroid backup of ext partition.

Almost there! Other than that- excellent work.
[Desire Android Development] snear:
Yes just add ext support and its perfect :)
[Desire Android Development] HüskerDü:

Really amazing work, now the Desire finally got his DIGNITY !

Thank you very much to Koush & Paul --- doppia coppia --- the best !
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
do you guys think its worth getting premium ROM manager?

and do we just use the latest rom manager clockwork MOD?
[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
When I want to install ROM from SD card, does that need to be named 'update.zip'? I've tried a few times but it just seems to re-flash my previous ROM. :S I don't know if it's the ROM I have that's the problem, though. It's a custom ROM from MoDaCo's online kitchen.

And it also seems like the partitioning of the SD card didn't work properly. It was loading, but then it rebooted and I don't think it did anything. :/

When I'm trying now I only get a red question mark. :S

EDIT: Can't download update.zip from MoDaCo. :/

I don't understand ... do I need the premium version of ROM Manager to boot directly into recovery? With the free version, I just get to the screen with the red /!\ from which I have to manually hold volume + press power and then flash update.zip ...

I have the latest version, 1.8.8.5.

Edit: never mind ... I'm stupid, it works now. ;)
[Legend Android Development] paulobrien:
Now updated and working!

Note: The recommended install method for fake-flash is now 'ROM Manager' on the Android Market.

Koush and I have been working on / stumbling through getting recovery running on a Legend without using a PC for devices rooted with a test image. The same technique also applies to the Desire... and after a lot of work and debugging... presenting...

fake-flash!

Fake-flash using a similar concept to the original root method, it launches a recovery image from the test image recovery, but instead of pushing the files from a PC, the files are extracted from an update.zip on the SD card. Here's how it works...

Preperation

Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below

Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)

When you want to launch the recovery image

Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'

When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'

Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip

That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch! :)

Neat eh?

DOWNLOAD

Just to caveat this initial release, we've yet to carry out extensive testing and you are constrained somewhat by the limitations of the stock kernel (e.g. no support for EXT4).

That's it for now... enjoy... i'll update this post as further advances are made. If you'd like to support Koush's work, consider buying 'ROM Manager Premium' from the Android Market.

I tried but ROM Manager:

Clicked on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"

it pops up a selection Menu with "Confirm Phone Model" (the only option is HTC Legend)

then it downloads the fake-flash recovery e returns me "Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery".

When i try to reboot in recovery (trough ROM MANAGER options) i receive a blackscreen with a device in background and a question mark. After some seconds it restarts.

There really isn't much "rubbish" on a T-Mobile Desire in the first place, unlike Orange!

Personally, if this is your only reason for wanting to debrand, I wouldn't bother.

If you want to install custom ROMs etc, follow any of the guides on this forum.
