1197390 2011-04-30 09:05:00 No wonder you were confused, the instructions we gave you didn't match what your phone required!

I am totally confused with installing the recovery mod on your phone. Once you install a custom recovery, you should be all good.

I will try finding out how to install the recovery again tomorrow.

You need to install a custom recovery (Clockwork Mod), then install custom android. - I did mine through the computer by putting phone into bootloader mode.

Clockwork mod doesnt support my phone, or have it in its phone list to choose. whats this said bootloader mode?

1197397 2011-05-01 01:34:00 Okay, This is how (I think) you do it:

Download this file: narod.ru (You will have to translate to english using chrome)

Save to desktop

Open Command Prompt

Type: fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name>.img

- you need to put the path of the recovery in the command. (I am stuck on how to use this to define the location of the file - Someone could help here who knows about command prompt.)

Type : fastboot reboot

-------------------------

Now flash the custom android with your new recovery.

Ok
Maybe if i open a command prompt from the folder where i save the downloaded file i wouldnt have to specify a path?

Now the next dumb question im gonna ask, is how do i flash the custom android thats on my SD? and i guess the phone has to be plugged nto the pc, do i need debugging?
