New[Recovery] [08-Dec-2009] RA-hero-v1.5.1 This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source.
The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.

This recovery if for the HTC Hero only, so NOT the Sprint Hero!!!, if you have an :
- HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
- HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
- HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.

Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items.
You can also use the volume keys (vol-up + vol-down) to navigate, and the CALL-ANSWER key to select items (in case your trackball is broken).

Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!

Install

There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).

via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.1.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.1.img
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-v1.5.1.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.1.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.1.img
adb shell reboot

Change-log :
v1.5.1
Code:
- Updated Nandroid to v2.2.1 (ext support!).
- Added a "Nand + ext backup" menu-item.
- Nandroid and BART menu items will not backup or restore the recovery partition by default.
- Updated init.rc to only load /sbin in PATH.
- Removed the loading cramfs and sqf filesystems from fstab.
- Added an unmount script that is called at the start of most scripts.
- Updated the BKMO-utility script to it doesn't backup/restore the recovery partition + changed the return to recovery command.
- Changed the item select key to CALL ANSWER-key instead of HOME-key. The HOME-key was conflicting other operations.
- Added "Other" sub-menu :
- Moved "fix apk uid mismatches"-item from main menu to "Other" sub-menu.
- Added "Move apps+dalv to SD"-item.
- Added "Move recovery.log to SD"-item (Check this log if you want to see what is going wrong).
- Fixed the Nandroid restore menu; an error message is now displayed when no nandroid backup or device-id was found (instead of showing an empty menu).
- Removed flash submenu and "Apply sdcard:update.zip" item, because we already have "Apply sdcard:choose zip".
- Removed "Wipe cache partition" item, wipe cache is already included in the "Wipe data/factory reset" item.
- Changed UMS-toggle enable behaviour; you can not access the menu while UMS is enabled (avoid mount issues).
- Changed some menu-item labels to make the options more clear.
- Fixed UMS-toggle disable behaviour; files are now refreshed in the menu (sdcard is unmounted).
- Updated the busybox binary to 1.15.2 which has fixes for ash and hush (`trap` handling), dd (fixed handling of I/O errors), find (fix for -follow and symlinks), pidof (corrected recognition of kernel thread names), sed (SEGV), uniq (memory leak), line editing (Ctrl-D works again), build system.
- The busybox binary was :
- statically linked against uclibc (0.9.30)
- configured to preferentially execute busybox applets
- busybox --install -s installs links into /data/local/bin (JF patch)
- mount looks for loop devices at /dev/block/loop (JF patch)
- modprobe and family look for modules in /system/modules (JF patch)
- fixed an issue with vi where it would save a file as just a blank file (JF patch)
- packetlss compiled a new kernel :
- enabled "Support for large block devices and files" to fix ext4 issues
- Updated sdparted script to v0.6

bei mir kommt folgende fehlermeldung:

C:\Test\tools>fastboot boot recovery-ra-hero-v1.5.2.i
downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)

habs mit der 1.5.2er und der 1.5.1er version probiert und hat bei beiden nich geklappt... root müsste ich haben hab davor die instantroot.apk installiert

weis jemand warum die fehlermeldung kommt?

klinkt blöd, aber versuch es mal mit der sufu in diesem teil des forums.
dieses problem wurde schon mehrfach diskutiert.

Klingt jetz auch blöd aber versuch es mal mit der sufu zu finden...

Du stellst die falsche frage.
Schau mal im root-thread nach.
Wenn schon nicht suchen,
lesen wirst du können....

sry mein fehler,

hab was gefunden aber ich kann nicht vor jedem post sämtliche andren threads die was mit meinem anliegen zu tun haben könnten "per hand" durchsuchen bevor ich was poste. und selbst wenn ich das gemacht hätte, hätte ich nichts gefunden da ich nach dem ra recoverytool nicht in nem thread über root suchen würde weil ich ja nicht rooten will sondern nur n recoverytool aufspielen.

und genauso wenig versuch ich tausende suchbegriffe davor aus... wenn ich nicht mal unter dem fehlertext was finde ist das für mich beweis genug das zu dem thema noch nix im forum steht

Kein Problem.
Aber so ein recovery-image nutzt man zum rooten.
Daher von mir der Wink mit dem selbst lesen.
Das Problem hatten einige, die Lösungen sind
aber unterschiedliche.

Ich werd mal 1.5.3 suchen, soll es angeblich fürs hero geben
