Woke up this morning screen was working from my other post. Unplugged from the bedroom and plugged into the living room. Unplugged for maybe 30 seconds and my screen problem reappeared again. Battery pull and repeat same steps as above. Everything is wiped again but I am still on 2.3.3. This is the 4th time I tried that file. Is there anyone that can confirm if "Stock ROM for Android 2.1-update1" is in fact 2.1 and not and the 2.3.3 file isn't isnt accidentely attached to that link or something?
I can confirm that image is 2.1... Is your notification bar white? If it is, you're on 2.1. If it's black, you're on 2.3.3.
Keep in mind that going back and forth between 2.1 and 2.3 seems to be causing issues for some. It's still under investigation. Does your SIM card (Voice call) work on both versions?
As for the recovery process, you really have to copy flash_image to /system/bin with the procedure you have written there. Make sure you do su beforehand. This is the proper method:
1. su
2. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
3. cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
4. chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
5. mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
1. (A # should appear when you do su. Your phone might ask to give su root privileges)
2. This gives read/write access to your system partition
3. This copies flash_image from the SD card to the system partition
4. This sets the proper permissions to execute flash_image
5. This restores your system partition to read only (The way it should be)
