WOOOOO nevermind i finally got recovery back!! if anyone else is having this problem here it is:

This guide was taken from AndroidCentral and I thought I would share it here because it's taken me 4 hours this morning to figure out why I was having so many problems trying to flash a recovery image when I know my phone was rooted and flashed in order to get 2.1 a month or so ago. I have been searching these forums and google and hope anyone else who has my issue finds this post.

1. Make sure you have the Android SDK installed.

2. Download flash_image.zip

3. Download recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img

4. Unzip the first file, and place both in your Android SDK/tools folder.

5. Make sure USB debugging is ON

6. Connect your phone to the PC

7. Open the command window and navigate to the Android-sdk/tools folder on your computer.

8. At the prompt enter the following, one line at a time followed by enter

Code:

adb shell

su

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

exit

exit

adb push flash_image /system/bin

adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard

adb shell

chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image

reboot9. Your phone will reboot. When it is finished, back at your command window, once again enter

Code:

adb shell

su

cd /sdcard

flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img

reboot recovery10. With any luck, you'll have the recovery image back and can load custom 2.1 based ROMS again.

Hope this helps. All credit goes to gbhil at Android Central.

and hold your breathe!

try a CM6 2.2 rom with clockwork recovery and follow my post above:)
[Hero CDMA General] mrgreen4242:
So is there any word on a CDMA Hero recovery image with the PSFreedom kernel in it, like the GSM Hero seems to have? Since you have to do this every time you start up the PS3, this seems like a great solution. Plus, it's easy and not dependent on your ROM (I couldn't make this work with my Darch 2.7 ROM, for example... wonder if the Engineering SPL I flashed has any other long term effects?).

Anyone know?
[Hero CDMA General] morbiddevil82:
any chances that this will work on a SPRINT CDMA hero running CM6 (froyo 2.2)?

**UPDATE**

i can not get this to work.. Tried it every which way. will not work with CM6 2.2 nightlies.. this really sucks..because i really love CM6 and dont want to have to go back to a 2.1 rom just so i can be able to jailbreak my ps3 at will
[Hero CDMA General] ebaDamagePlan:
So I have a couple questions.

1. How can I check my firmware version on my PS3? I'm pretty sure I'm running 3.41 but I'd like to confirm this.

2. I followed the instructions on page 6 of this thread and everything on my phone's end seemed to work but I don't see the new options under GAME, any ideas?

3. When this is working, say for example I fastboot using the zImage and do the terminal bit and I'm using the exploit, during gameplay can I unattach my phone?

4. If I'm done playing and I turn off my PS3 but I haven't rebooted my phone, just closed the terminal, what steps do I need to retake to exploit again? Do I need to redo the terminal commands or do I need to fastboot again even if I haven't rebooted since the last time I exploited?
[Hero CDMA General] ebaDamagePlan:
Can someone please help me out? I can't seem to get this working.

I'm running Fresh 2.4 and have one of the old 60gb ps3s with hardware emulation
[Hero CDMA General] tigeredwards:
Does any one make the chip by yourselves? I found a website from internet searches. It offers Teensy++ 2.0 Plus USB Development Board & Teensy 2.0 USB Development Board. This site is buyps3jailbreak.co.uk. To wait or to DIY, this is a question. :D
[Hero CDMA General] bobsbobbers:
It does work with cm6 nightly. re-dl the ps3 files and try again.

I use clockwork recovery for easy advanced nandroid "boot only" restore but should work without.

Anyone know if there is a CDMA hero PS3Recovery Yet!?

I am also using the clockwork recovery mod using the custom Hermes v1 payload, does anybody know where we can get Hermes v2 or v3 to use with Open Manager v1.16
[Hero CDMA General] sophiemith:
I received the original PS Jailbreak ordered from gadget-asia. It works very well with my PS3, whose firmware stays as 3.41. I have backed up several favorite games to the HDD. We also received emails from them saying the producers had been working to upgrade the mod chip. It seems to be compatible with 3.42 and 3.5, but I'm worried to try it, so I keep the firmware as 3.41". Hope it will be upgraded soon.
[Nexus One General] Androith:
I did a PaSSIMG FRG33 version, but I can not root with universal androot also can not return to the version of PASSIMG FRF91, indicates that it is old version. Anyone know?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
As it stands, if you want root you're back to having to unlock the bootloader.

You could try: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726258 and seeing if you can revert to FRF91 afterwards.
[Nexus One General] Androith:
Try?

But someone made with good results?
[Nexus One General] kam187:
You should have rooted FRF91, installed a custom recovery, and then used an update.zip format of FRG33 to update to update the system and boot.
[Nexus One General] Androith:
No work recovery with update.zip. Android exclamation!

Also, i can not install passimg frf91, indicat that is a old version

:(
[Nexus One General] melwan:
Android exclamation is STOCK recovery. Kam is saying "custom recovery" like Clockworks or RA.
[Nexus One General] Androith:
Ok,

I got it, but unlocking fastboot to install the superboot. Now I have total control

Now we have to wait to close lock

Thanks!!
[Nexus One General] makelegs:
Which version of superboot should we be using to root this frg33?
[Nexus One General] Androith:
The superboot FRF91

http://www.mediafire.com/?4nnez0uddqk519r

:)
[Nexus One General] makelegs:
Thanks a lot. I opted not to wait for a new 1-click version. Unlocked the bootloader by cmd prompt. It was weird though. I thought when I was reading about superboot that all you had to do was dbl-click it from windows, but I ended up having to run it for cmd prompt, too. Either way, I'm rooted now. My only remaining question has to do with the custom recovery stuff. I flashed the "latest clockwork recovery" in ROM Manager. Then I flashed the modaco rooted/deodexed/busybox/etc. version of frg33. Is that all I need for my phone to be "safe" at this point? I guess ROM manager let's me flash just about any of the custom ROMS, but if one hangs on load, I just wanna make sure everything is restoreable.

BTW....Android clearly has the best and most helpful community of users that I have ever seen!!!
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
makelegs,

Glad you got it all worked out and are truely unlocked and rooted. As long as you nandroid, you are safe on what ever yoy wan to do. The dreaded, botched radio flash is probably the only way to get hurt. At least that is my understanding.
[Nexus One General] makelegs:
That's the funny thing.... I am completely confused about "nandroid." I can't figure out if nandroid is a general concept or something very specific. I have a couple of complete backups performed with clockwork, but nowhere in my "recovery" area have I seen the word NANDROID. So I'm pretty sure, at this point, that if the fit hits the shan I have a plan-b, but nobody ever says "be sure to 'some other kind of' backup." They always say "be sure to nandroid." Am I taking this too literally??? or have I overlooked a step in this process?

I even paid for the premium Rom Manager upgrade so that I could try out different ROM's, but I have this sneaky suspicion that I oughta get closure on the whole "nandroid" thing before I get too carried away.

You've been a lotta help.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Can't speak for Clockwork but on Anom the backup goes in /sdcard/nandroid/DEVICEID/dated-subdir

Each time you make a backup using nandroid, it's a new directory.

And you can NOT restore a nandroid made from a different recovery from what I've read. If you make it with Clockwork you gotta restore it with Clockwork.
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
makelegs,

It has become a general term with the advent of Rom Manager/ClockworkMod. If you look at the top of the Clockwork screen when in recovery, it say nandroid. The term generally means a full image backup of your phone as opposed to just backing up apps/data. In the nandroid the OS and all else is backed up. So, I wouldn't give it a second thought.

What khaytsus said is the only important thing. Restore thru whichever recovery you backed up with. Clockwork to Clockwork or Amon to Amon.

Amon is put into the nandroid file on your sd and Clockwork is put into Rom Manager under Backups. Although, you can get to them a couple different ways in Clockwork. Thru Install Rom From SD Card or Manage and Restore Backups. Also by booting into Clockwork Recovery. You probably already know that if you use Clockwork.

[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Is it actually probable that 1 click might be made to work for 33? It doesn't seem like there are many other users with stock/33 like myself. I feel like a horses ass for flashing it and screwing up my protected apps. All through the incremental updates that led us from 2.1 to froyo went thru easily with no paid apps issues so I didn't have my guard up for this one. (Unless they all had a modded fingerprint status which I starting to think I may remember them having, whatever, this is a bummer...)
[Nexus One General] makelegs:
Maybe it will be updated, but the folks on frg22 (i think) have been waiting even longer. I was just too busy and OCD to wait it out.

It was probably only ever a matter of time before I went the unlocked bootloader/root route. This was just the catalyst for me. I learned an awful lot in the process. Alas, my phone is back to "normal", but running modaco's rooted/deod/busy/frf91 finger/etc... version of FRG33. And I now realize that if I had just flashed the clockwork recovery to begin with, when I was 1-click rooted on frf91, then this whole thing would've been substantially less of a PITA for me.

Good luck!
[Nexus One General] RottenRonnie:
FRG33

I got caught out i had 1 click root with cm6 :)

But then installed FRG33 not realising i would lose root if i reverted to it after i had done a backup of cm6 .

I had a lot of things including adfree working on FRG33 prior to recovery .
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
I think the universal androot app uses the "exploid" method which indeed was patched in FRG versions. But I believe someone on the forum reported that FRG22 or FRG33 was still vulnerable to the "rageagainstthecage" root exploit.

Can someone here verify whether FRG83 is still rootable using "rageagainstthecage"?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
You can try the instructions for rooting FRG33 in the Wiki on FRG83.
[General Questions and Answers] vortexnl:
I lost my HTC Desire 2 weeks because the screen coating was messed up, when I got it back, it turned out that they didn't even fix the coating!

So I sent it back again to the repair service of HTC.

Screen looks all good now, and I even noticed they updated my android version to version 2.2!

The weird part is, my phone resets every few minutes, it doesn't matter if my 3G is on or off!

I hope you can imagine how frustrating this is, first lose your phone for 4 weeks, finally get it back and notice the software being flashed wrong, well at least that is what I think :confused:

I searched up google on this problem, and they said the problem got fixed when they sent the phone back to HTC to re-flash the phone, problem is, I really don't feel like waiting another 2 weeks just to use my phone!

I got the idea to just install a custom ROM on my Desire, but I don't even know if there is a decent one that has Android 2.2 AND HTC Sense interface.

Does anyone know if these are available? I would also like to know what you would do in my case, maybe it's just better to send it and have it fixed and all, but if I can do it myself, why not?

Link in that thread for a flashable clear taskbar.

This will keep other preferences stock - it is not possible to have an only taskbar mod.

In other words do not use if you have other themes applied.

Install launcherpro or burst's theme for your bottom bar
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chickenbackside:
I installed clockwork's rom manager and installed clockwork recovery with it. I rebooted into the recovery image and selected choose zip to flash. My phone just rebooted to the normal image (Smoki 0.78). I tried installing smoki 0.8 with rom manager but I got an error telling me that I cannot have spaces in the path. I then selected reboot to recovery twice because nothing happened the first time. My phone showed "htc magic" and kept rebooting. I can't go into recovery or fastboot. I wasn't even doing anything that changed the spl or radio. Is there anyway to repair my phone?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahasmb:
I'm using Cyanogenmod 6 (stable) on my HTC Dream.

Now, I know that there's been a change in Froyo (Android 2.2) whereby task manager apps can no longer kill running apps. That's fine. I can kill tasks in Running Services if I want. (Although I wish I had a faster way of accessing the Running Services...)

Anyways, I'm noticing that I'm having a problem with apps being closed by the system when I definitely never want them closing unless I close them myself. I was able to do this just fine in pre-Froyo ... but there are really some apps, like AndChat, that I don't want closing at any odd random time (I'm guessing this happens when the system decides it needs to free up some RAM or something). Is there a way to keep certain apps ALWAYS running unless I close them?

Please tell me there's a way to do this. I'm loving Froyo otherwise, but there are some apps that I don't want the system closing on its own.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahasmb:
Please tell me there's a way around this. I never had this problem pre-Froyo.

Can I maybe prioritize non-essential processes or something (So that maybe it'd close some other app instead of the one or two I want to keep running)?

Please help :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
If you do, then whatever you are trying to do that causes those processes to be killed will NOT WORK. You will get the magical disappearing application problem where a newly launched program will randomly die. It could get really messy if there isn't enough free memory to load the launcher -- you'll end up in battery munching loops at seemingly random times.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahasmb:
*sighs*

That's just ... sad. I understand what you're saying. I do hope there's still another way though. I really try not to have much running. But sometimes even if all I have running is AndChat and a browser, AndChat would close. It's really annoying.

Thanks for your reply.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shauli20:
The most annoying thing to me about the way FroYo manages apps is that my browser will often close when not being used, and upon returning to it only the last page displayed will reload but any other windows that were open do not.

This never happened in 2.1
[XPERIA X10 General] xperianewbie:
Yesterday I sold my terrible phone called the Xperia X10.

Why?

Because I decided to return back to my delightful, happy iPhone. The Xperia x10 is much more complicated and advanced.

There are so many un needed apps (Moxie, Officesuite, GMAIL? Who uses Google Mail?).

The jailbreaking on the iPhone is almost 100 times easier. Go to a site through iPhone browser, slide a button, and you're done! And with Cydia, you can get themes, Installous (which gives you free paid applications) and Ringtones, anything without having to use all the codes and going to the root of your SD card.

The iPhone has iTunes. Much easier to browse applications and download them from your computer.

The battery life is MUCH better. I don't have to worry about it one bit, I don't have to say "No, I can't risk turning internet on or else I'll lose 50% of my battery."

The screen is much more responsive. The X10's lock screen lags and is sometimes unresponsive.

I agree, the iPhone's camera is a bit worse than the x10's, but honestly, when I swapped between 8MP and 2MP on the x10 I could barely see a difference. So it's not a big problem for me.

Overall, iPhone has a much better background for me and it is a much better phone than the X10. I will never buy a Google/Sony phone again.

Thank you to everyone who helped me out, but thank goodness I didn't root or debrand my phone. If I did, I would be stuck with this phone forever. This will most likely be my last post.

Bye!

Congratulations! The iPhone is the smart phone for dumb people after all. Android phones are smart phones for smart people so not everyone can be expected to be able to use it properly.

Btw, who doesn't use gmail? Gmail is the best mail client.

I find it disgusting that you use installous. It is people like you that ruin the development of applications. If you really wanted an app like installous on the market though, that's what Apktor is for.

Yes, so much fun browsing through so many useless and pointless apps.

You seriously can't tell the difference between the 2mp photo and an 8mp photo? You more then likely didn't realise that too notice the difference you have to look at the photo on a computer with higher resolutions, or zooming in but that is why you have gone back to the iPhone.

You're just not intelligent enough to handle an android phone!
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
This is a great example of people having different tastes. The OP likes the iPhone better for the reasons he mentions and that's his prerogative. My taste in phones differs, I'm not a fan of iOS and prefer Android. What's so hard at leaving it at that, is it unreasonable to expect common decency?

I got rid of my iPhone because I had problems with the way the App Store procedure works but you don't see me flaming iPhone forums about it. Doing that would only take up time and I have way more productive and better things to do.

In short, ditch the X10 if you want but leave us out of it. Topics like this only reflects badly on the OP anyways so what's the point?
[XPERIA X10 General] becknise:
Sorry but in my class 3 of the top 5 students uses an iPhone. And a confirmed fact, iPhone users get laid a lot more than android users. True talk. And no I don't have an iPhone and will never get one.

Hey, I'm not flaming anybody. I just posted this topic to inform any people who are planning to get either an Android phone or another phone about the differences (in my opinion, anyways.) It was also just a farewell notice for the people who had tried to help me get through my problems with the phone when I had it. Ignorant people like Findee could obviously not understand that, and shed tears and blood to defend their phone because they want to know that they spent their money in a good fashion. Calling me dumb for my opinion? I think we all know who's not "intelligent enough" to even handle a post!
[XPERIA X10 General] POLO_i780:
So you found rooting the X10 difficult??? just downloading a 153kb file, installing it then clicking root was difficult??? Yep,stick to the iPhone then, i understand your other points,but that one is a tad ridiculous realy.

Hope you enjoy your iPhone as much as im enjoying my X10 :) ive found multiple 3rd party app stores like Cydia for it without having to codes or whatever you were on about.
[XPERIA X10 General] xperianewbie:
No, of course that wasn't hard. I didn't say it was hard. I said the iPhone jailbreaking is MUCH easier, and just the tad bit of ease can save you from bricking your phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Well to be fair, jailbreaking the iPhone can potentially brick it while rooting the X10 can't. There's just no way you can mess it up with the apk-root.
