idk what im doing wrong. I know im a little rusty at this but i did root my nexus 1 couple yrs ago and i dont remember having any problems
i followed the steps in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426377
i unlocked the bootloader but i'm getting stuck at #3. (im on a Mac)
on page 4-5 of that thread some1 else was stating they were getting stuck also. i tried to do what they did but it still not working. they also said something about choosing the option "install from SD card"...but im not seeing that option anywhere (& i do have debugging enabled)
I've put the .zip file on my sd card but when I go to fastboot on my phone, it just says keep saying "no image or wrong image"
this is what it says when i try to fastboot

Try this...
Download this- http://d-h.st/Vsy
then extract the folder within the zip to your home folder.
open a terminal (it should start up in your home folder)
type sudo chmod 777 Recovery_Flasher
then type cd ~/Recovery_Flasher
once there type ./Flash.sh
Let me know if you get errors... i will try to fix them for you. also, this will reboot your phone into recovery mode when its done to test if it worked. if 4ext recovery loads then it worked
thanks!!!
but could u elaborate on what or where exactly this "home" folder is? the android folder? or is it folder on my sd card?
and i tried to enter those commands in terminal and all i got was "no such file or directory'

You need to find a recovery image. I think the command in fastboot is ./flash recovery.IMG. dont forget commands in mac are ./ then the command.

This is just a stock sense battery w/o the percentage. I only made this cause I worry about my phone battery A LOT and battery percentage makes it worse for me and I wondered if other people felt the same, so I'm sharing it here. It's really not much so don't criticize or talk crap about it. Just for those iffy people who HATE battery percentages. Enjoy!
Installation Process
- Unzip files into a folder called battery.
- Go into cmd enter " cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools "
- Then enter " adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk "
- Open the .apk file w/winRAR
- Go to res>drawable-hdpi
- Drag contents from the "Battery Folder" into drawable-hdpi
- Now, put framework-res.apk into SDK tools folder and " adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework "
- Enjoy

try a few times, the timing of pressing the buttons is important
and did you connect your phone correctly?
I trid so many times, but still the same problem
I think yes, I connect my phone correctly with USB cable...
the first step I did it with the phone connected with usb and it's in boot menu
the second step is with the device in recovery mode and the screen shows a mobile picture with this sign " ! " in red color ..
any help guys
Just to make sure, you have HTC Sync 2.0.33, correct?
At the red !, try vol up + power (should bring you to custom recovery screen, every time I reboot to recovery I need to do that). Select wipe/factory reset, then go to flash zip from sd and rootedupdate.zip. (assuming file name)
Helllloooo, any body help please!!!!
Make sure you have HTC Sync version 2.0.33 installed and any previous versions of HTC Sync are un-installed.
I will check that and start over again
I'm really tired of this, the first legend I did root it and install a new custom rom without any problems
this time with this phone, its is killing me :|

post your output please.
Maybe step 1 is failed....you see,it said "customer id check fail"(line 15 in the cmd window). Have you make the goldcard ok?Or did your legend run Android 2.2?If it is 2.2,you must downgrade your system first....
you have HTC Sync
There are some tools for that.search google for it!It will do everything automatically without problems do you.

U have wrong drivers.Enter in folder with fastboot.exe and here u go driver what U need use
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
I downloaded them from se website.
Now i tried with drivers i found on this page: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK.
I can install them and I see Android ADB Interface in my device manager but when i go to cmd and type adb devices it doesnt show any device.
U have to plug in usb to phone with fastboot mode
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
My phone is plugged in and the phone LED is blue, so I think it's in fastboot mode.
Also in device manager I can see Android Phone > Android ADB Interface.
But when I go to CMD and do adb devices i get:
List of devices attached
But i see no device.
Just go to Device manager, find Android ADB Interface. Click right mouse button and choose to install new driver. You need to pick it manually, so dont point to folder with driver but "choose driver from list" now click from drive(i got in another language so I dont know exactly button name), find that new driver. After that, You need to choose Android Bootloader not ADB.
Now driver should be installed correctly. Try it.
I started completely over again on the notebook from my mother with another tutorial and I think I got it working now.
Thx for trying to help me

The sony ericsson tutorial/drivers didn't work for me.

Do not searhc for driver in usb:driver folder. You need to choose that driver manualy.

Because you are using IE. Use another browser and it will be fine. There is some database and if IE doesn't see this specific file downloaded a certain number of times it calls it malware. Its a stupid feature.

There's instructions on that same webpage for how to do it. I think its step 8 or something. You just have to ignore the "sudo" since you're not on Linux.

OK, so i am really lost at this point. I have been trying for the past couple of days with no luck.
I used Minimal adb and fastboot, downloaded Lg drivers (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.0.3), sdk google drivers and looked at many comments to figure this out.
i type adb device and my phone shows, I type fastboot device and last couple of my phone shows. I used Mininimal adb and fasboot to unclock the the bootloader and i followed all the commands but when i get to fastboot flash recovery twrpxxxx.img, it tells me cannot load twrpxxxx.img. Also, when i type in adb reboot bootloader in brings me the an LG screen with powered by android at the bottom instead of the correct screen.
So, i tried the other way. Power phone off, hold down the volume down button and plug in usb and bootloader/fastboot opens up ( the screen with the line in the top left, with a blank page). it shows unlocked, few lines in white, and then few lines in red. I type fasboot devices and my phone shows up displaying last couple of the phone sn#. but when i go to type fasboot flash recovery twrpxxxx.img, i get the same message cannot load twrpxxxx.img. and on the phone is shows fastboot getvar partition recovery.
Any idea on what this is and how can i solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Rename it to recovery.img and try again.
I renamed it and I still get the same error. Cannot load recovery.img

Make sure the image is in the same folder that you are running adb from; it doesnt scan your whole computer for the file. ��

Does it make any difference that my phone is unlocked from T-Mobile via unlocked code? That should not have anything to do with it thought. I am just tying to figure it out.

I suggest you remove and reinstall sdk or install nexus root tools and run a cmd within the updated tools. Make sure you installed the right drivers, delete all others, reinstall, although your error seems more a problem with the tools, permissions perhaps, did you run cmd as admin?
Unable to load tells me it can't find your file.. Perhaps it has a hidden extension? Recovery.img.txt
Whats the complete exact command you're typing?
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

When your phone is turned on and plugged in, type command adb devices, Does it show?
Put phone in fastboot mode, type command fastboot devices, does it show?
I figured it out. I had to install motorola and g4 drivers to get fast boot to read when I only had one or the other it was only reading adb when I had both on pc it read and adb & fastboot and worked. Thank you.
