You lost me there, searching with your Build Number will reveal multiple threads with step-by-step instructions to root/flash the phone.

I had the same firmware on my Hero when I got it, but I followed this walk-through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4655885&postcount=1
Only part I had issues with was getting the RA-HERO recovery image flashed. I dragged it onto my sd card (not in a folder) and typed in this location on the FlashRec app:
/sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img
and then was able to hit "Flash Recovery Image". Then load a ROM on the SD card, turn phone off, and hold Home+Power to turn it back on in the recovery menu and then you can flash away.

I tried the post that you gave me, it still not working
when I try to wipe it, it said wipe aborted
when I try to install the rom, it said installation aborted

Well, that guide does work for a phone with that Build Number, I have done it, and srt4mn has also. Follow it step by step... And post where you have a problem

I tried that, when I flash the recovery image it said : flash FAILED: Could not run command....
but I download the recover image already, and put it at the root of the sdcard,and type
/sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img
I dunno which step go wrong.
Frist I download Fleashrec, recovery img, and the update.zip,
put them at the root of sdcard,
install Flashrec,
type /sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO.v1.2.2.img
flash recovery, but it doesnt work><

Did you backup your original recovery image first via flashrec (the lower of the 2 buttons)?? May be you can try to flash it via ADB:
Put the recovery.img in sdk/tools
Then in the terminal type this:
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img
adb shell reboot
Try this and see whether it helps.

Fastboot will not work this way...

I'm confused now, what is ADB???
any instruction???
thank you for helping><!!

Can any one help me on this??
on can I just add the android market and make it work on this version???

ROM Manager and Clockwork recovery does not work for the Eris (as far as I know).
Edit: Oops, sorry for the double post.
I currently have the clockwork recovery installed on my eris, can I just download amon's recovery image and install it to switch to it? Or do I have to uninstall clockwork recovery and then install amon's?

try to flash it from rom manager,(under other recoveries) if Rom manager has worked for you with no problems. if it doesnt work follow instructions as listed in 1st post
I wouldn't use clockwork recovery, it messed up my installation to the point i couldn't flash any rom or restore any nand. When i would try to flash anything it would fail, It failed when i tried to use the root rom....After I tried flashing root rom i had a nice looking brick on my desk....(I even changed back to RA but Clockwork had messed up my phone so bad that RA didn't even work either....
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!
Yeah, use Amon's. It does every job you need, and is 100% stable and reliable.

yea you beat me too it, , i only used it because i had it for my DROID and thought maybe devs would try to add it to the list on rom manager.
ok, obviously a bit of an amateur here, how do you know which recovery image you have, i installed amon's, but i'm not sure if clockwork made it to my phone somehow, thinking about unrooting soon, that's why i ask, thanks.

When you are doing this, are you in the correct directory? For example, my SDK is installed in /android , so first I would:
cd /android/tools
then
./adb shell
could someone help me with this. i really need to get the stock recovery image on my eris and im alittle noobie at this stuff. if any one could help id be sooooo happy
I'm not sure how to flash amons on a mac. I know for windows you put the recovery.img in the sdk tools folder, boot into fastboot and type
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
To get stock recovery (I assume you want your phone back to stock) then flash the official ruu. Will return your phone to 100% stock. You can find it on a sticky in the Eris general forums I believe.

I'm not sure on a mac, but on Windows you put the img in the tools folder of your sdk, boot into fastboot and type in adb:

I installed Amon Ra as part of the root for leakers instructions some time ago. -- Is there a new version out? (Search was surprisingly not helpful) And what is the best way to update recovery?

There is no new version out; the first version (v1.6.2) is the only one that Amon_RA published.
IF there was a new version, you could flash it by using adb with the existing Amon_RA. You don't even need to push a version of "flash_image" to the phone, because it is already in /sbin in Amon_RA recovery. Just get the recovery image to your SD card, start an interactive shell (adb shell), and then
flash_image recovery /sdcard/<wherever-you-put-it>/recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img
Yes, you can "flash a recovery partition by using the recovery" - because when you are interacting with it (the recovery boot), it lives entirely in a ramdisk.
The second easiest way is to have the engineering bootloader (1.49.2000 S-OFF) installed on your phone, and flash it with fastboot from the PC, as in
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img
Note that neither of these two methods perform any integrity checks on the recovery image file that the normal "Flash .zip from sdcard" ROM installation method does. Therefore, it is imperative that someone using these methods is extremely diligent in cross-checking image MD5 signatures after it has been transferred to the SD card. Amon_RA also has the "md5sum" utility built into it's shell, BTW.
I mention this last point as a warning to newbs - they seem to routinely corrupt files when they transfer them to the SD card. (I suppose they are not using the "safely remove hardware" controls correctly, or they are getting truncated downloads).

[flash mistake] I flashed my recovery with wrong image... (SOLVED)

Hello all!
I post this message to ask a little help as I made a very stupid mistake!
I already posted my issue in the Amon-RA recovery thread but I tried different solutions and nothing works :'''((( Help !!!!
I run a Modaco Custom Rom 3.0 and I had Amon RA recovery version 1.5.2.
I decided to upgrade to 1.6.2.
Well, you know... when it's the third time you install a recovery, you don't pay as much attention as you do the first time ... and I stupidily downloaded and installed the recovery of "Hero SPRINT"... and I owe a "Hero NOT SPRINT" of course.
Good new : my phone can load the ROM normally (hallelujah)
Bad new : of course, recovery menu can't be loaded anymore.
So, before I tried this method :
via fastboot + adb -> In case you don't have a custom recovery, so when you get signature fail errors
Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell reboot
But the second command fails (fastboot)... not allow.
Then, I tried the Flashrec solution (the one I used to root my phone the first time).
Backup of recovery or flashing recovery both fail with Flashrec.
Additional info : Formating the SDCARD via my phone doesn't work ... it's a Modaco bug, i'm not the only one in this case... so I can't format sdcard via my phone.
Seriously guys, I have a rooted custom ROM, there should be a way to get my recovery back :-(
Please please, don't ask me to try gold card... first step is formatting the sdcard via Hero... and I can't even do it.
Many many thanks for people trying to help me!
Don't take my post as being a solution because I'm a noob, but can't you flash the stock ROM off the Hero website and root it again?

Hmm. Right. You're in a pickle here. Locked bootloader is a nuisance.
Put the SD card into the computer via memory card reader.
BACKUP CONTENTS BEFORE PROCEEDING. Now format card as FAT32 via computer card reader. Then follow the goldcard guide (there's a copy at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=375 or on the site here, but I dunno where it is as it's buried off front page I think)
So get your CID, do the usual stuff with making img, and put it onto card as usual. This should get you goldcard.
Then use card to downgrade to the old RUU, and root back from there
HTH
Ok guys, got it back this night, fully recovered at 3 AM!
Here's the story... with nearly all the possible issues you can encounter in the same case.
I first checked on which ROM Modaco 3.0 is based : 2.73.405.66 ... so that explains why I couldn't use Flashrec directly.
So, I started the Gold Card procedure.
As specified, I can't format via my Hero. Android beeing based on Linux, I decided to format a SD card via Linux (I'm a linux user ...), but I don't know if it changed something or not.
I could create the Gold Card.
Once I had my Gold Card, I downloaded Titanium Backup, made a donation and waited for my license to arrive.
I did a full backup.
Then, for downgrading, you need to use HTCsync. Good... oh, right, I removed it from my Modaco ROM!. So, unzip the Modaco ROM 3.0, get the PCSCII.apk and "adb push" it back on the "/system/app" folder.
Then, ok, launch HTCsync on the computer, and finally on the phone. Oh, my phone doesn't detect HTCsync on my PC!.
Aaaallllll riiiight !!! Uninstall my HTCsync, download last version, reinstall... and it worked!
Then, downgrade... and the Flashrec story went OK, so I got my recovery back. Once I have the recovery, my Hero is more or less saved. I upgraded back to the same Modaco 3.0 because I wanted to restore the whole Titanium Backup without versions issue. This did perfectly the trick! The only thing I had to reconfigure is my standby wallpaper!!!! Awesome tool !
My phone is happy, I am too... but hey, I woke up at 11:30 this ""morning""...
Maybe this will help another guy one day...

[Q] Can't Update CWM in HTC-G2 [Solved]

Hi everyone
I am having this weird issue with my T-Mobile G2... I am still on clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.3 I don't know why and it is preventing me from doing everything! In the beginning I didn't notice I was on this version because in Rom Manager it appears to be in 3.0.? but when I reboot in CWM recovery I still have the green letters and the older version... The thing is that I am using right now CM7 and I am having problems with file formats, mounting system, etc. I have tried to S-Off my phone with a tut here with no luck.
About the root method, I don't even remember which one I used to root my phone because I was new when I did it and I just followed tuts around the web. Only thing I remember is that I used the first perma root method available by the time and it wasn't S-Off or carrier unlock.
The point is, I need to update to clockworkmod 3.0 or 5.0 in order to solve all the issues with my phone! I can't even do a nand at the moment because of this. What do you recommend?
Appreciate any help.
Solution in a post below.
If your having trouble getting ROM Manager to flash your recovery, this is how to do it manually through ADB.
1. Download this file here.
2. Rename the file to recovery.img
3. open a command prompt/terminal window and navigate to the location that you saved the file to. c:\path\to\recovery.img
4. type adb reboot bootloader
5. once booted into fast boot, back in the cmd prompt/terminal type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
when its done reboot and then back in cmd prompt/terminal type fastboot reboot.
after reboot type adb reboot recovery and you should boot into clockwork. Make a nandroid and go find a custom rom.
I followed step by step but still showing version 2.5.1.3 and still having green letters.
Ok got it solved. Here is what I did:
The problem was that I had the wrong hboot installed which left my cellphone with S-ON and furthermore blocked me from doing anything. What you have to do if you have the same issue is to follow first this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 to downgrade to stock rom, and then you have to re root the system following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
That's it! Good luck

Can´t reach Recovery

Hi all. Before i start i want to say, i read a lot of threaths and comments before i started to booting recovery and i followed Tutorial that you can find somewhere here on XDA for MotoE.
I unlocked Bootloader correctly and everything was right. Then i downloaded latest version of TWRP and CWM if something will be wrong.
So i booted into bootloader, connected to PC (windows 8.1) and using adb i installed TWRP (by command window). After instalation was complete, i used comand: "fastboot reboot" to get my mobile start normally. Everything worked fine so i started last step. Turned off mobile, booted into bootloader(or maybe fastboot? idk...) and by volumebuttons i choosed "Recovery" . Then a black screen for a minute. After that mobile stuck on screen that i attached down below. So i tried this but with CWM (same process way). But nothing new... Someone said me i had to try "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" but again, nothing happend.
Can you help me guys?
The recovery isn't installed! Reinstall the recovery and follow correct steps!
I tried it one more time. I´m attaching image that is from command window showing that .img was booted ... Strange is, immediately after booting was completed, mobile restarted... and after i turned off mobile again, still i can´t reach recovery. Isn´t that problem in .img file? maybe it´s broken, isn´t it?
Tried once again
Ok last try didnt worked. So i complettly followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/guide-one-moto-e-beginners-guide-t2807891 STEP-BY STEP!
Command window screen attached, Fastboot screen attached.
After reboot, turn off i tried to open recovery and again that image that i posted in first coment. (android figure with words: no command)
By that guide i downloaded recovery from here: https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/condor/
and i downloaded just "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-condor.img" as i have to do it (written in guide)
Well, your recovery is flashing fine from cmd but its not detected by your phone.
Try re-downloading the recovery and check md5 before flashing.
I'll look into it and see if the issue can be pinpointed.
Btw, you might need the flash the stock ROM back if nothing works.

Okay try this.
Flash CWM
If flashing fails or you get any error, then try booting into recovery.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
If you boot into recovery, flash the SuperSU package.
Reboot and then flash the recovery.
See if it works.

Do not flash CWM, just boot into it by the command I posted above.
Then try and flash SuperSU, (if you get a root prompt from CWM, select NO.)
Reboot device.
Then again boot into fastboot and now flash recovery (twrp).

I said if flash is not successful, then boot into it. So you can't boot into recovery either.
Here's last resort, extract the stock recovery from stock ROM and flash it. Then we'll try flashing TWRP again.
If you don't have stock ROM, download it. as you might need it to recover.

(i had newest drivers i can update them)
LOL?
OK im in recovery i already flashed superSU...
What did i do?
As you said, i reinstalled all drivers...
then i downloaded same TWRP again (but with mirror source)
I downloaded attached md5 file ( still dont know what should i do with it )
moved recovery and .md5 files into minimal adb and fastboot (both files i renamed to "recovery")
turned off devices
started fastboot
connected to PC
started command window and entered command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
then i didnt wrote sommand "fastboot reboot" as i done before
i just unpluged usb and navigate to recovery button and launched it
and VUALA im in recovery
hurraaa
just installed superSU and then rebooted.
everything works (superSU too)
i have one more question...
i downloaded twrp manager from google play
first start: asked for root permission a allowed it
then message appeard:
"The only compatible version of busybox we support is Stericson. All other cause havoc on all operations in this app. Please click yes to install Stericson busybox"
what the heck is busybox?
+Should i download it or not?
Do not use TWRP Manager, ROM Manager, CWM Manager or any other of these Tools. They often do not really work good together with "exotic" fones. Why the heck do you need TWRP manager? You have TWRP installed
Anyway - Busybox you also can download and install from Playstore. Busybox is a collection of executable terminal commands helpful for any kind of script. There are a couple of rooted apps who will ask for busybox support - so don't hesitate to install busybox - but do it directly with busybox app from playstore.
After you have installed the binaries you can de-install the busybox-app. Because all necessary binaries then are copied into /system/bin/ folder and the app itself only will become active once a new version would be available (but this is not the case very often).
ok then

Do not use TWRP Manager, ROM Manager, CWM Manager or any other of these Tools. They often do not really work good together with "exotic" fones. Why the heck do you need TWRP manager? You have TWRP installed

Phone can not boot after changing vold.fstab

Recently I rooted and changed my vold.fstab in a hope of bigger phone storage and then all I got after reboot is a logo.
I using Philips w6610.
I have original vold.fstab file
My phone rooted, and have recovery
My phone don't have usb debug
I tried to make an update.zip but maybe I did not know how to do it right
Now I can't not do anything and through the search on google nothing can help too.
Thank in advance
Update, The update.zip always endup with installation aborted . adb shell commend end up with closed line
Pls helppppppppp ( I just used my phone for 2 weeks
OMG nobody care!
The only two things that pop to mind, are an update.zip (like you already tried) or trying to access 'adb shell' in recovery. Though in the last case you probably need to mount stuff manually, or via the UI of the recovery to get to the vold.fstab file and revert it back.
Can you flash your firmware

Update.zip will be aborted in the first step. I got an installation aborted everytime I update via sdcard.
I also tried adb shell and get command: closed . adb sideload update.zip return same thing with update via sdcard

I got and cook ROM from a russian forum for my phone. Only tried to update through sdcard and adb sideload
I am able to get into fastboot but I can not do anything with it!
Is there any methods I can do ?
