I have followed the instructions numerous times from several postings and cannot get past the terminal emulator commands to flash the recovery.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
flash_image: not found

It cannot find the original recovery.img to be replaced by the one on my sdcard.
Where to i get the original recovery.img and where do I install it?

Thanks in advance

U need to do this command first
# cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/flash_image
# chown root.shell /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
then do that and it should work if u did everything right

ok, I tried first line and got cp: cant stat /sdcard/flash_image; No such file or directory.
From reading other threads, I downloaded orginal recovery.img I think I need to extract original flash_image from zip, move to sd card and then try your
commands?? flash_image does not appear to be included after new update is applied? the video and instructions need to be updated on forum?????
