Flashing the new RA

Use the kitchen - select the "rooter" tab and select "Flash RA only"

Worked for me.
+1. I rooted my Hero manually from an old computer about 4 months ago, then decided to finally flash Fresh last week when learning that stock 2.1 disabled root access, and while doing so, realized I was on 1.5.2 RA. I used Fresh kitchen and got my RA up to 1.6.2 in just about 20 seconds - couldn't be any easier.

I'm trying to flash the new RA to my phone, but I have to do it with a different computer from the one I rooted my phone with. In order to do this do I need to go back through ccapasso's guide from step 1 even though my phone is already rooted, or do I need to skip some steps?

You do not have to do the whole thing again. Technically, you skip down to the flashing Recovery image part of it.

Or do what the two above suggested and use the kitchen. It will update the RA as well.

Thanks guys, but this method is not working either. I get the same error message even though I pass all the diagnostic tests. It looks something like this:

Any ideas of what could be causing this?
