CyanogenMod flashing, what am I doing wrong!?

DoubleCheese · 16 Nov 2011 at 10:30

Ok, so I've unlocked the boot loader on my N1 and I'm stuck trying to install the Recovery process.

The command is supposed to be:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery-RA-nexus-v2.1.1-CM.img

I have the recovery image in my C:\Android\Recovery folder. So should this be my command line?

fastboot flash recovery /C:/Android/Recovery/recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1-CM.img

I've tried it numerous times and I'm not sure if it has worked or not as nothing seems to change on the screen of the phone.

Any ideas? I think my path / and \'s may be incorrect...

Thanks guys, I've just done that and according to the Terminal the Image was written, however when I boot up the phone I don't get anything different, nothing changed on the phone during the process.

I'm stumped!

On the phones boot screen it says

***UNLOCKED***
NEXUSONE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.35.0017
etc etc

Is the SHIP S-ON a lock as well and should that be OFF?
If so how?

When I boot into Fastboot Bootloader there is no option for Recovery just:
Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot Bootloader
Powerdown

If I go into Bootloader, it goes to HBOOT and won' let me make any choices, it sits for a few seconds then starts SD Checking.....and finds (I think) a ZIP image on there, then it gives me the following options:

HBOOT
Parsing....[SD ZIP]
1 Boot
2 Bootloader
3 Radio_v2
4 Recovery
5 SP_Custom
6 Splash1
7 System
8 Userdata
Do you want to start Update?
Yes
No

If I click on Recovery I get a Warning triangle above an Android figure and nothing else. No button presses can get me back and I have to pull the battery to get out of it.

From what I've read on the CM forums I shouldn't need S-Off, I don't think.

BINGO! Thanks everyone, got there now. I had the Recovery image in another folder within Android which didn't haved the fastboot.exe.... ARRGH! What a dunce!

Magik5, yes, following the CM Wiki. There was an old ZIP on the SD card from rooting, that explains why it took a while to get to the recovery option.

Almost back to normal, just need to re-install my essential apps and away I go!

Cheers all.
