The complete how-to

[natediddy1120]

Man, I'm puzzled, I don't know what to tell you now....

Is the SDK folder still on your desktop? From where you first downloaded it and installed? If it is, and it or a folder inside of it is named android, try moving android to the C: drive yourself first.....

If you open the android folder the first 3 files inside of it should be named:

add-ons
platforms
tools

And there should be 3 more in there just so you know that you have the correct folders....

is the folder named "android-sdk-window"?

I actually found it...and I am on the part where I have to copy the address to the "Edit system Variable" part.

Do I do a straight paste to the end of that string? or do I have to add a '\' first?
this is how it would look if i just do a straight paste:
blahblahblah\System32\WbemC:\android-sdk-windows\tools
or should there be a '\' in between Wbem and C:\ like this:
blahblahblah\System32\Wbem\C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Thanks for the help

Honestly I can't remember if I put the \ there myself or if the computer did, mine has it with a \ before the C:

Actually this is what my Path looks like:

blahblahblahDriver;C:\Program Files\WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\;C:\android\tools\

Did you successfully download and place the 2 files for SPRecovery on the root of your sdcard??

it looks as though it took the flash image but not sure about the recovery-0.99.3b.img

edit*

yes recovery-0.99.3b.img is on the root of my SD card
btw this is the newest recovery img i found should i go back to the .2b.img?

going to try and run this straight from the emulator on my droid..........Failboat

I am actually stuck on this part as well, however, when I type in 'su', I get Permission denied. How do I get permission?

it means you are not rooted. Refer back to page 1 about rooting your droid.

To oveR80,

No you should just keep the .3b recovery file since its the newest one available, just make sure that everywhere that it says the old file, you put in the new files name instead....

Okay. What about it saying that /system/recovery-from-boot.p is not a valid file path

Could it be possible that i dont have this file as i dont have the install-recovery file either. I have never rebooted and this is my first time running a recovery tool. My system came with 2.0.1 on it (if it makes a difference). So hence i have no backups as of yet or created anything of that nature.

Should i just proceed on and create a recovery? Also have the original 2.0.1 on my computer if i ever need to unroot my phone

You really need to read up more on rooting before you attempt this. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's just the truth. You skipped the directions in the first post somehow that told you to root, I'm pretty sure that means it's time to go back and research some more.

If you want to use Bugless Beast rom I suggest reading the threads in my signature.

I went through the rooting instructions, and I thought my phone says that I was rooted. I have the SuperUser Permission icon in my apps.

If I have to do the rooting again...is there anything i have to do in the cmd prompt to reverse what I have done already?
I am up to the rm /sdcard/flash_mage part.
