hi guys, im stuck...
well not exactly- i have unlocked the bootloader on my nexus one on FRF91.
but what bout after that? i found some links on XDA and it says to superboot? cant do it i keep getting error and most of the tutorials are on windows OS, i use a mac, i would really appreaciate it if anyone can assist me any further with commands on terminal for mac.
i'm a newbie so i really dont know what to do, i've spend almost 8 hrs on this and only got bootloader unlocked.
thanx for your help guys
Why would you play around with a $580 phone if you don't know what your doing, they had a post showing you how to root without unlocking your bootloader. The other thing is you have to explain exactly what you did, and what stock rom you came from and where your trying to go. I'm not familiar with Mac systems but there should have been instructions for that system to. I'm going to check it out for you and see if I can help.

Do step IV.
Pick a ROM you like from the list in Developers section, download it.
Do step VI.
Not really hard.

This site helped me out alot when I first learned, because they have instructions accompanied with video, so it's like you can't go wrong. Sometime the dudes who have just instructions leave out a step and that can f things up for us. When I rooted my N1, the guy who posted the instructions put a period in the wrong place, and it almost had me stuck, but I knew the recovery image and I knew It did'nt belong there. Anyway check this vid, and let me know what happens, start from the beginning even though your boot loader is unlocked.

Here's another video with instructions for Mac.
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/02/video-tutorial-hack-your-nexus-one/
There are links to files for each step, and the only suggestion I would make is maybe look for the newer 1.7.0.1 Amon Ra recovery image and to not use the Sense ROM that he links to. The recovery image is here on this forum in the Android Development section. I don't use it since I'm still having no issues with the 1.7.0 version that this guy links to in the guide.
As far as ROMs are concerned, I highly recommend going with either CyanogenMod 5.0.8 Stable (because it has fewer issues and is a good place for a noob to start) or with one of the more stable Froyo roms, like Kang-O-Rama .9.
Hi there I've got and given some help over in the Acer Iconia A500 forum and now i'm hoping I can receive some over here.
I've always just had the stock version of Android on my Nexus, and now that it looks like it's not going to be updated again I'm ready to Root and Rom.
I'm especially looking forward to pushing a bunch of apps over to the SD card (I'm constantly battling the low memory warning)
There is a lot of information out there on rooting this phone but unfortunately most of it seems a bit dated when I look at the posts. most of it seems to be pre-gingerbread.
So, if I have a stock 2.3.6 GRK39F build, how do I start out?
So far form the Wiki I've managed to get the ADB working and USB drivers (Win 7) installed and have my device acknowledged.
From the wiki I've managed to Unlock the boot loader, and wiped my phone :-(
Now what? what is the next step??
Since I've unlocked the boot loader can I now DL cyanogenmod and install it?
or is there more to do?
What's the diffidence between root and unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks for the help guys. I'm sure this is all easy for you now.
-Ozy
After unlocking the bootloader install a custom recovery.
Either CWM or Amon Ra your choice.
Look here (scroll down to "Installing a Custom Recovery Image")

Thanks for the help guys I will try it out and let you know how it goes.
Follow up question. I just unlocked the boot loader so I know I don't have root access.
After I flash cyanogen will i have root access by virtue of running that ROM?
Yes once you flash cm7 you'll have root access.
OK guys I did it. I got stuck on booting into clockwork for a while. couldn't figure it out then eventually did.
followed all the instructions on
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
and got it to work.
Thanks guys!
Ok, I hit a snag.
After installing CM7 I notice that there is no Google voice search on the main search box and no Voice to text in the messaging app? where to find / install google voice search/ voice to text?
U have to download VOICE SEARCH app from market for that feature to work

Help another noob...
I found this thread while trying to make sure I have the most up-to-date links for rooting my new Nexus One, 2.3.6, and GRK39F.
Considering this thread is over a year old, and I wasn't sure what wiki the original poster was referring to, I thought would post to see if there are new developments to rooting my N1...
I'm posting this from xp with google usb ver7 drivers installed through sdk. I also have Windows 7 if I have to use that laptop.
I managed to flash my wife's Stratosphere, but this is really pushing my tech limits....
Thanks!

Read the Nexus One Wiki in this Q&A so you can get a sense of the overall process and then proceed to work on your phone. I recommend that you search rooting process for Nexus One on youtube once you have finished reading the wiki.

I'm glad I rooted and ran CM7 when I did, because about a week after I did all the work my power button crapped out and if not for CM7 and it's "push track ball to wake" feature I would have been SOL.
I haven't gone back to check the links that I used but I know that they worked for me. Good luck mate.
PS I managed to eek another 6 months of use out of my device before retiring it and getting a G Nexus.
Thank you for your responses. Yesterday, I tried rooting without unlocking the bootloader, and it seemed like everything performed as expected, but several apps that require rooting said that my N1 is not rooted. So, I tried rooting, but I'm only getting "Waiting for device." I open the command prompt from the Platform-tools folder, SDK shows that I have the necessary drivers installed...
I'll go back and read the Wiki as suggested, and see what I can learn.
Thanks, again!
I have a question. Can the sdk link from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690362 be used for rooting? Because it says it's an old archived version. So will it still work?

Can I ask what was wrong with the guides already present and vertigo guide has all info needed. I welcome any attempt to simplify things but do we really need another thread like this. There is no lack of info on the XL as all that is needed is here. Many many people before have found all they needed so really don't understand. You seem to show a total lack of respect for all the good work that have gone on before you got here. If the guides here were not to your liking I am sure we could have updated. You come into a forum and open a thread at least acknowledge the efforts of others that were here before you. Alot of time and effort was spent getting things here off the ground and to disregard the recognised efforts here as you quite blatantly are is rude and bad form.

First of all, I made this guide because someone requested it. I also linked a lot of good working threads so I don't get why you think I am rude. I just put everything a noob needs in one guide with links to working guides so they don'T need to puzzle around a lot. Because I found it hard to find everything I needed.
I'm thankful to all the threads I have linked in this thread. AND I am not taking credit for the things I have linked. As I mentioned, the is no guide especially made for the Sensation XL for some things, and this guide I made is more based on that part and sharing the eu rom that is hard to find due to download rdstrictions.
So pardon me if I did not thanked the entire XDA.
In one of the linked guides they mention that they could make that guide thanks to vertigo, so that's good.
And again, I could not easily find everythin I needed and therefore I desided to share my experiance sfter getting a request to show the steps for noobs

Sorry for noy mentioning you in my thread as I haveread your thread and yes I see that you had most of these. But I find it still a little bit out of order. And I saw that you did not mention ICZ and as I said it was a request of a user to make this. It's in order and everything they need step by step. Your thread is good but to much text in my opinion. I have added one or two things in this one. Btw lots of your text is the same as text I have read in other guides and I did not see you mention them all. It might be that they copy paste it from you, I don't know.
But I am not trying to be rude or not mention related post, why would I not. I will add your guide at the top of this my yhread so users can deside for themselfs which one they need.

I think the problem is that you're just repeating everything that is in mine and shingers guides already....
I have mentioned the people who I needed to in my thread, basically shingers5 as he was the one who has done all the hard work and they are the only threads i copied from... and no its not out of order, its in the right order, with the exact steps you need to take to get a custom rom working, guaranteed!! The reason there is so much text is that I've tried to explain it as clearly as possible.
Anyway I'm not getting into an arguement about this, I've said what I needed too...

HTC SENSATION XL
Special thanks to Vertigo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466436Vertigo's guide
Vertigo's guide provides most or even all of this guide, I made this guide because it got requested and I mostly made it for sharing the RUU.exe EU and to put everything in order in my opinion.
UNLOCK BOOT LOADER / LOCK BOOT LOADER / ROOT / UNROOT / INSTALL CLOCKWORKMOD / TAKE BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE WITH CWM / INSTALL ICE COLD ZOMBIE / RECOVER YOUR PREVIOUS ROM YOU HAD BACKED UP / INSTALL STOCK ROM
Some of these will just have a link to the proper thread, because the tutorials they provide helped me out and are perfect. I don't need to redo them.
So, let the game begin
I have the HTC Sensation XL!
I have searched and searched all over the internet and found some ways to do unlock and relock bootloader, root and unroot, and even found the RUU.exe for Europe and downloaded it before the sharing site locked EVERY shared files due to the activities of the internet restrictions.
So I am going to write all the steps for the HTC Sensation XL in ONE thread, because there is just not enough information that you can find easily for the HTC Sensation XL.
STEP ONE: UNLOCK BOOT LOADER
First of all, let's unlock your boot loader, this step is pretty easy because the website that provides you the unlock code also provides the steps you need to unlock your boot loader, after this re locking is even more simpler.
Just go to HTCDEV boot loader and follow the steps there to unlock your boot loader.
***WARRANTY issues if you do this step and any other step from here*** but you can re lock your boot loader and unroot your device to use your WARRANTY again.
STEP 2: LOCKING BOOT LOADER
You need ADB so follow these steps HERE
To lock your boot loader you definitely need to have a proper connection between your device and computer.
To re lock your boot loader you need to:
1. Turn off your phone
2. Take out your battery and put it back in
3. hold your volume down button and press the power button. (KEEP HOLDING YOUR VOLUME DOWN BUTTON) You will see a white screen with fastboot written on it.
4. Navigate with your volume up or down to fastboot and press the power button to select it.
5. Connect your device with your computer, you will see 'fastboot USB ....'
6. open the terminal in your computer and type in 'adb devices', you probably will see an empty list, no devices. Just follow step 7
7. type in 'fastboot oem lock' without quotes and your device is locked again, you will see relocked - you might see a warning under it but that's nothing, after rebooting the warning will go away.
8. I don't know why you can't see any devices connected when in fastboot USB mode but if you start up your phone and redo step 6. you will see your device.
STEP 3: UNROOT YOUR DEVICE
To unroot your device you will need to relock your boot loader. Follow STEP 2: LOCKING BOOT LOADER first
1. Download YOUR proper RUU.exe
Mine was:
RUU_Runnymede_HTC_Europe++_1.05.401.4_R2_Radio_20. 5101.30.0822_3822.10.10.12_M_release_223366_signed
LINK DIRECT DOWNLOAD
2. open RUU.exe and follow the onscreen steps to unroot your device and install stock rom.
STEP 4: INSTALL CLOCKWORKMOD
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS TAKE BACKUP FIRST BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE
you can take backups with CLOCKWORKMOD of your device, just do that so you can restore your device if you don't like other roms or need a recovery
Requirements:
1. An HTC Sensation XL with an unlocked bootloader. You can do that via the HTCDEV website.
2. ADB installed on your system. See our guide on what is ADB and how to install it.
3. CWM based recovery for Sensation XL.
HERE
*** I JUST USED THE ABOVE 3 STEPS ON HIS TUTORIAL ***
But you can use whatever you like
Here are two other pages which provide steps to install ClockWorkMod
HERE
and HERE
Remember that the magnifying glass on your HTC S.XL is used as ENTER/SELECT in CWM
STEP 5: INSTALL ICE COLD SANDWICH
Awesome thread here about the ICE COLD SANDWICH
Go to the 'How to install' part on his thread.
STEP 6: BACKUP OR RESTORE YOUR PREVIOUS ROM
Other threads
HERE
and HERE
these steps are the same on HTC Sensation XL as far as I know
To recover your previous rom on your device you just need to go where you also backed up your device and hit on recover and select the recovered rom. This all can be found if you
1. Turn off device
2. Take out battery and put it back in
3. Hold volume down and press on power
4. Use volume down to slide to recovery and press on power to select it
5. There you can find CWM recovery where you can backup or restore your device
( WHEN YOU SELECT BACKUP OR RESTORE YOUR DEVICES ACTS LIKE IT'S STUCK, DON'T BE FOOLED. IT IS DOING IT'S JOB, JUST BE PATIENCE )
STEP 7: PERFECT ROOT TUTORIAL ON YOUTUBE
I have used this one, it's really amazing and fast
HERE
***NOT MADE OR UPLOADED BY ME*** My Youtube account is ShaneNL69
OK, if you guys think there is missing something or something needs to be changed or whatever tell me I'd be glad to improve
I made this thread because when I wanted to root unroot etc it was pretty hard to find everything.
GOT NEW LINKS FOR RUU.exe roms ? Please share because the other threads with links to stock roms are outdated or you need to be premium member to download.
THE STEPS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOT IN PROPER ORDER, JUST USE THE ONES YOU NEED

Look here pal, for example if you write russian and someone else writes it in english and again someone else writes it in plain english so noobs can understand, I will firstly link yhr plain english ofcourse, because I don't see the point to post all the links. And I don't know all the origins and my thread is simply to have all the guides that helped me out. So stop whining about no respect and being rude if it's not about being the populair one. I mentioned that I was sorry for not mentioning someone but you keep going. This is a forum and I like to share my experience period.

Listen here, there are no bad links because linking other than XDA is alowed. I am not going to change the links because of your monopoly acts. I FIND THOSE GUIDEZ BETTER EXPLAINED and if I want to share those you should not block it. Even if you were the first with that information, that does not matter to me because I am sharing MY OWN EXPERIANCE. So let people deside for them selfs whiv one they want to read and use and stop telling people which guide they need to link in their thread. It's a forum and I find my thread easy short and powerful.
Whay the use of it if I would link your post?? Than it would become the same old confusing long post. I only share the guides that worked for me.

Well I think if you want the forum works as you want, we must establish rules, and if you want xda guard its independence from the other site must all admit that even we often lack the material, I give you an example: I wanted to flash a Ruu europe, but I have not managed to find a link that works.
and if you say you have already explained the method to pass a Ruu sorry but this is not enough for me, I need to know the exact reasons why I can not flash my phone as I want.
this is how you learn and that's how we advance.

Then search it. There are guides all over xda and the net with the codes for RUU fails. Or post a question.
Really what should have happened here is some one to ask shingers5 and/or vertigo to update their threads if this was needed. I have to agree and think that in order for anyone to have rooted there phone and put a custom ROM on it that you would have had to follow shingers5 and vertigo's guides at least.
Show a little respect and show credit where it is due. You have even admitted that this is just a simplified version of vertigos work.
Other than that I think that what you attempted to do here was good, perhaps just not approached in the correct way.

HTC SENSATION XL
STEP ONE: UNLOCK BOOT LOADER
First of all, let's unlock your boot loader, this step is pretty easy because the website that provides you the unlock code also provides the steps you need to unlock your boot loader, after this re locking is even more simpler.
Just go to HTCDEV boot loader and follow the steps there to unlock your boot loader.
***WARRANTY issues if you do this step and any other step from here*** but you can re lock your boot loader and unroot your device to use your WARRANTY again.
STEP 2: LOCKING BOOT LOADER
You need ADB so follow these steps HERE
To lock your boot loader you definitely need to have a proper connection between your device and computer.
To re lock your boot loader you need to:
1. Turn off your phone
2. Take out your battery and put it back in
3. hold your volume down button and press the power button. (KEEP HOLDING YOUR VOLUME DOWN BUTTON) You will see a white screen with fastboot written on it.
4. Navigate with your volume up or down to fastboot and press the power button to select it.
5. Connect your device with your computer, you will see 'fastboot USB ....'
6. open the terminal in your computer and type in 'adb devices', you probably will see an empty list, no devices. Just follow step 7
7. type in 'fastboot oem lock' without quotes and your device is locked again, you will see relocked - you might see a warning under it but that's nothing, after rebooting the warning will go away.
8. I don't know why you can't see any devices connected when in fastboot USB mode but if you start up your phone and redo step 6. you will see your device.
STEP 3: UNROOT YOUR DEVICE
To unroot your device you will need to relock your boot loader. Follow STEP 2: LOCKING BOOT LOADER first
1. Download YOUR proper RUU.exe
Mine was:
RUU_Runnymede_HTC_Europe++_1.05.401.4_R2_Radio_20. 5101.30.0822_3822.10.10.12_M_release_223366_signed
LINK DIRECT DOWNLOAD
2. open RUU.exe and follow the onscreen steps to unroot your device and install stock rom.
STEP 4: INSTALL CLOCKWORKMOD
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS TAKE BACKUP FIRST BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE
you can take backups with CLOCKWORKMOD of your device, just do that so you can restore your device if you don't like other roms or need a recovery
Requirements:
1. An HTC Sensation XL with an unlocked bootloader. You can do that via the HTCDEV website.
2. ADB installed on your system. See our guide on what is ADB and how to install it.
3. CWM based recovery for Sensation XL.
HERE
*** I JUST USED THE ABOVE 3 STEPS ON HIS TUTORIAL ***
But you can use whatever you like
Here are two other pages which provide steps to install ClockWorkMod
HERE
and HERE
Remember that the magnifying glass on your HTC S.XL is used as ENTER/SELECT in CWM
STEP 5: INSTALL ICE COLD SANDWICH
Awesome thread here about the ICE COLD SANDWICH
Go to the 'How to install' part on his thread.
STEP 6: BACKUP OR RESTORE YOUR PREVIOUS ROM
Other threads
HERE
and HERE
these steps are the same on HTC Sensation XL as far as I know
To recover your previous rom on your device you just need to go where you also backed up your device and hit on recover and select the recovered rom. This all can be found if you
1. Turn off device
2. Take out battery and put it back in
3. Hold volume down and press on power
4. Use volume down to slide to recovery and press on power to select it
5. There you can find CWM recovery where you can backup or restore your device
( WHEN YOU SELECT BACKUP OR RESTORE YOUR DEVICES ACTS LIKE IT'S STUCK, DON'T BE FOOLED. IT IS DOING IT'S JOB, JUST BE PATIENCE )
STEP 7: PERFECT ROOT TUTORIAL ON YOUTUBE
I have used this one, it's really amazing and fast
HERE
***NOT MADE OR UPLOADED BY ME*** My Youtube account is ShaneNL69
OK, if you guys think there is missing something or something needs to be changed or whatever tell me I'd be glad to improve
I made this thread because when I wanted to root unroot etc it was pretty hard to find everything.
GOT NEW LINKS FOR RUU.exe roms ? Please share because the other threads with links to stock roms are outdated or you need to be premium member to download.

How is a "guide" simple and easy, if the steps are not in the correct order?
I have just "become a noob" and
have unlocked and relocked my b00tl0ader,
tried to flash Ice Cold Sandwich but it wouldnt,
then backed up my rom and tried to flash my backup,
but none of this happened as i got error codes,
so i then tried the "perfect" root tutorial on youtube.....
but couldnt get root....
So i threw my phone in the bin
and then set the bin on fire with some petrol which i had to queue up for... Stupid Petrol strike....

WIP Guide Up But Missing Pictures... When I Find Time I Will Do This For You
Im aware this is the guide set out by someone else.... I dont claim it as my own but i want to help people who are not sure about the android environment
Please note this will be for Unbranded Devices Only.
If you bought an O2 Desire C, Your ****ta Outta Luck My Friend...
RELOCKING BOOTLOADER
First thing you need to do is download the stock ROM (also known as a RUU for you newbs out there ) here.
Just realized there's the new RUU in a post here in this forum! If you want the newer RUU (2.0) get it here
Download from the first post
Once you've got that .exe, run the wizard until you get to the first screen. Now you need to find the temporary folder that it just extracted all its files into... open My Computer and at the top of the screen, in the navigation bar, type %temp%. There's probably a whole bunch of stuff, but look for two folders that have really long, messy (encrypted) names. One of them will have ROM.zip in it.
EDIT: If you have Nameless installed, or you used superboot, then go into the apps on your phone and select "SuperSU" and go into the menu. Look for the "Cleanup for full unroot" option and run that first. This should help with any problems.
Open this ROM.zip with WinRAR and extract recovery.img to C:\Android
IF IT ASKS YOU TO OVERWRITE because you have your CWM recovery file in there still, make sure you copy THAT one somewhere else so you don't have to re-download it if you later want to re-install this recovery.
Open up command (cmd) and dir to your C:\Android
Type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once this is done, go back to the wizard you still have open and let it finish. If you're having any problems with the above steps simply post in this thread or email me, my address is above somewhere.
After THAT is done, open cmd back up and type in fastboot oem lock
NOTE: After you're done these steps, your bootloader will say ***RELOCKED*** it is impossible to get it back to ***LOCKED*** once you've unlocked the bootloader.
That is awesome, I have a Nexus 4 on the way to replace my Desire C and want to return it to stock
Looking foward to your guide.

Hello,
Links to RUU are dead :crying:
Cheers
One quick correction, You have to relock the bootloader with fastboot oem lock BEFORE you try to reinstall, or the update will fail with FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail) in log.
download link doenst work!
both RUU links dead!

Hey folks, i know that for some, unlocking bootloaders and rooting for the first time can be a bit overwhelming, so i put together a video, walking you through step by step. I hope this helps at least 1 of you
The toolkit in this video guide was developed by hasson2000, so big props and thanks go out to him! You can find his toolkit here
To the moderators. hasson2000 has asked that folks request his permission to use his work in posts ect.. So i did ask, but he never responded... So since this is doing no harm and only helping people, i assume you won't mind this posted here If you do want to take it down, i won't fight you on it.
If you folks have any questions, i strongly recommend you go to hasson2000s toolkit thread, linked above, and ask there.
Cheers

Nice. Thanks much!!
Thank you so much for the vid, I used it to unlock my bootloader and also installed TWRP... It worked a treat
My issue is that I want to flash the 1.29 OTA onto my EE-branded 4G HTC One. I've downloaded this version: OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.12-1.28.401.7_release_315849_signedp7vl8dqsvls0h1t0.z ip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874. I have attempted to Flash my own recovery, but am unsure as to which .img file to use and also which option in the bootloader to select. I've searched all throughout these forums, but to no avail
If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
any one have any alternative link to the all in one toolkit by hasoon looks like the link is broken?

Thanks, this worked like a charm!
This is my first Android phone and reading all of this did seem scary, but watching the video and doing it myself.. pretty easy!
So, there is no way to root this device without unlocking it first? I've also read that after you unlock, you loose some apps & obviously OTA updates......4.2.2 is rumored to be out for this device any time now. Is there anyway to preserve those apps, possibly update phone (even manually) or just root without unlocking?

you won't loose any apps if you unlock, you will lose all of your files though... and you can still receive OTAs is you are unlocked, you just need to have the stock rom and a stock recovery...
Success (relatively painless)
I'd like to add my success story as a hopeful note for other noobs who are sweating it.
I'm a complete noob with recovery and rooting. Luckily I had the distinct advantage of skipping the whole bootloader unlocking sequence, thanks to having the Developer Edition whose bootloader comes unlocked. (I wasn't sure if I should use Hasoon2000's T-Mobile kit, since I'm using a T-mo SIM, or if I should use his generic HTC One M7 kit, so I chose the latter and luckily it was a good choice.)
I studied this video tutorial by TheSmokingAndroid, took notes, watched it again, said a little prayer to the green guy in the sky, watched some more tutorials, read some tutorials, read 50 pages of xda forums, panicked, de-panicked, steeled myself, then watched the video again. Then I dove in.
While not every step had the exact results that TheSmokingAndroid depicted in his video (combination of user error by me and the HTC One apparently being somewhat finicky), while not every step was an exact match, a little persistence and staying calm resulted in full root in about 1/2 an hour once I actually got started, and no major calamities.
So thanks TheSmokingAndroid and thanks Hasoon2000!
(If you're a noob, consider making a small donation like I did to keep these guys going.)
Happy rooting.

I receive tons of PMs and can forget who I responded to, since I am on my phone majority of the time. Anyone is allowed to make a video using my toolkit. I just do not permit people to repost my work on another site. All official toolkit threads will be on XDA and all the toolkits will be uploaded to ONLY my Dev-Host account. I do not authorize mirrors of my toolkits (since anyone can just repack it with a virus and blame me for it). However, my apologies if I did not get back to you. I usually wake up with 10 - 15 PMs, plus more throughout the day!

factory reset
Hi, I recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One and flashed the cyanogen rom. However, I want to now go back to the original software that came with my phone, but I did not backup my phone on twrp recovery. I do not care about my user data, I just want to go back to HTC Sense. Could anyone help me go back to the factory default os reset? Also my phone is from T-mobile if that helps.
I'd personally like to know how to pull the stock recovery image from my device for later use, rather than using someone else's. I've already searched but I'm directed to the stock recovery image already posted here. Isn't there a way to make the image flashable rather than pushing it through with ADB?
