DREAIMG.nbh not allow

Hello,
I've got a BIG problem...
I was unable to flash anything anymore, it aborted every installation of update.zip, so I decided to start from scratch.
Downloaded DREAIMG.nbh(RC7, I've got a dutch phone...) formated my sdcard, fdisk type b and mkdosfs -F 32, then copied DREAIMG.nbh to the sdcard but then I get Loading..., Checking..., not allow
I tried all capitals, because it says so on different forums so I tried all combinations of capitals and small letters, tried different DREAIMG.nbh files, from different sites. I've formated the disk after every attempt and checked the files using md5sum. Than also DREADIAG.NBH, which results in not allow just the same...
It says in the bootloader screen:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CLPD-4

I don know if it matters but...
The system partition is completely broken..
It doesn't boot and adb shell complains about the absence of /system/bin/sh
I hope somebody has a suggestion for what to try...
Thanks!
Greetings,

I've got a big problem too, you posted in the wrong section. Ask again in Q&A and maybe I'll give you a good answer

oooeps...
sorry..........

Hey read up on spl's here and read the difference sbaout them this will tell you your problme http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL
XD I may be completely of track but I believe it is that
HardSPL also allows NBH files to be used without matching the CID (carrier ID) check

maybe a fastboot erase will sort it out
tiny bit of info here
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Fastboot
short answer here
power on phone while pressing camera
you should see androids on skateboards, and some text scrolling for a bit
go into fastboot mode with back key
now, from your PC
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
that will erase system , userdata ( aka data ) and cache
it will work if /system can not be mounted ( which I'm guessing is why an update won't flash, as far as I can tell the recovery wipes only mounts the partition and delete files.
If your system has become corrupted by for instance doing
flash_image system /sdcard/nandroid/bdeifhoef/somerom/system.img
it won't boot and recovery can't wipe
but fastboot erase will save you buying a new phone
if you are windows
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3083753
tbh I don't know if it will work for you.
I'm guessing... after filling in some gaps
do you get an error message when you try to flash a ROM via recovery?
Code:
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall 'flash boot' + 'flash system'
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline

dreamimg not allow
Hi, I have a t mobile g1 that was running android 1.6 and rooted.I flashed cwm recovery and installed cm6 and ended up with a brick.(phone was stuck at t mobile logo).
I rebooted the phone into recovery and restored the original firmware.
Now my phone boots, but all I get is a blank black screen.I did a soft reset and a hard reset and none has changed.
The problem is that the original firmware replaced the recovery and now im stuck with stock recovery.
Also, I cannot enter fastboot mode.Using the dreamimg.nbh had no result.No matter what image i put on sd card, the result is always the same, not allow.
What else can I do?
Please help

Thanks for your reply.But im not really sure either, on how can I get a goldcard? My phone wont complete the booting process.How can I get the cid number?

Problem is don't think you can get cid or really even make a gold card without an os, you can try searching the internet but not that I know of
It may be possible to flash an update.zip from the stock recovery though, its worth a shot if you can find a working link to official 1.5 or 1.6 update but this is kinda unlikely to work

The CID is to be read from the SD-CARD, not from the phone, but you need to have PC to prepare it ...

So you can make a goldcard without an os on the phone...

No, you need either a Windows Mobile or an Android Phone for getting the CID (i had the same Problem a few days ago and had to make a goldcard). I used this Windows program to get my CID (http://www.chip.de/downloads/GoldCard-Tool_49005379.html) and pasted the Reverse CID into this Website (http://huygens.hoxnet.com/goldcard.html).. the goldcard.img file i dd'ed with linux onto my sdcard (easier than using a HEX editor on Windows)..

So someone without a working os, like ryd3r89 could not use this tool correct? Or could he attempt to guess his cid using a list like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445289&nocache=1
And just go with most likely options until he gets it right?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The CID is created from the first 16 bytes read from the first sector of the sdcard. If you have a Linux system available you can prepare the gold card there ...

[Q] sprint hero recovery mode

hey guys right now im using darchstar's godspeed recovery.. but whats the most recommended recovery mode that everyone uses?

My personal favorite is Clockwork Mod Recovery. You can find the latest for our phone in the Andorid Development section, on the first page of the aospGBmod thread. Should be easy to find as it is right on top 99% of the time due to popularity.

DARCH All the way if your running GB then clockwork because I've read people have had problems with Darch's recovery with GB but if your running CM6 then stick with Darch

I got it off of darch's website but it's been down as far as I know for a little while now.. Luckily I backed it up on my dropbox when I first downloaded it
I attached it so it'll be on XDA for everyone
Download the Darchstar_ra.zip and extract it onto the root of your sdcard.
Boot up into your rom
Open up terminal emulator and enter the following:
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/darchdroid_ra.img
reboot

2 questions will this restore previous RA nandroids and also can this do the complete wipe like clockwork?

I don't see why it would have problems restoring older nandroids, I've never had problems after updating.
And yes, you can wipe data/cache, cache, davlik-cache, battery stats, and rotation settings in the wipe menu.

I currently use ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 for recovery mode.
Specs of my Sprint HTC Hero/APA6277 are...
Android version: AOSP
Baseband version 2.42.02.10.29,
Kernel version 2.6.29.6-aospMD [email protected] #1
Mode version: aospMOD-0.9.9.2
Build number: FRG83
I plan on flashing the AOSP GB Mod to my device as soon as a stable version of it becomes available.

So I Guess My Question To You Is, What's The Difference Between This Recovery & The Other Two?
Is There More Features??
Oh, One More Thing.... Sorry!!

That issue was fixed in the newer RA versions (which includes this one and godspeed)
There was a problem wiping with the older RA after the cache location got moved in newer rom versions or something along those lines

I'm not sure what the "flash alternate recovery" does because I only tried clockwork once and flashed over the recovery using terminal
As for features I took screens of each menu on the recovery
And I don't know what kind of backups rom manager does. If they're structured like nandroids it might work You may have to create a folder named "nandroid" and inside that folder create another and throw the backups in there. It'd be structured something like this:
/sdcard/nandroid/oldbackups/*folders go here*
And worst case scenario if they don't work but you really want all of them back you can just flash clockwork back to restore them.

As long as you don't put "flash_image (BOOT or any other partition here)" you should be fine.
If you input it incorrectly it won't flash,
example: flashimage recovery /sdcard/darchdroid_ra.img
How to flash it via ADB:
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/darchdroid_ra.img
reboot

Weird.. Do this for me, open up terminal emulator and type:
Code:

flash_image
you should get a return line saying:
Code:
usage: flash_image partition file.img
*see attached picture for example*
Make sure you're inputing it exactly the way I had it in the previous post - underscores and all. If the recovery.img name is different make sure whatever you type is exactly what the img is called.
If it's not in the /sdcard/ directory enter the correct one.
Example) /sdcard/downloads/oldrecovery.img
On my second attached picture you can see that the command worked, but since I already have that recovery flashed it aborts.

I'd just use CW for Gingerbread, RA doesn't wipe boot or system I believe.

Does anyone know if you are able to Wipe Data/cache/dalvik from adb shell?

anyone know the commands?

[GUIDE] Clean up your Vivid: easily root, install recovery image, remove Carrier IQ

I was trying to follow slapshot30's guide to rooting and installing CWM on the Vivid, but the instructions require an SD card, and my phone didn't ship with one (and I didn't want to power down my other Android and remove the card etc.)
So here's a simple, clear, no-magic, guide on:
how to get permanent root (permroot) on the HTC Raider/Vivid
instal a recovery image that will later let you backup and install ROM images
remove Carrier IQ, a piece of software that snoops on all your actions and can report them to your carrier
Prerequisites
Install the HTC Vivid drivers for Windows
Follow the steps at http://htcdev.com/bootloader to unlock your phone. Note that HTC will have you signup, and your email address will be uniquely associated with your phone. If you care about privacy, you may want to use a different email address that accepts attachments.
Have adb and fastboot working on your computer, preferably in your PATH. You only need the three files from the attached adb_and_fastboot_r16.zip (these are from the Android SDK r16).
Extract recovery.img from PH39IMG.zip - this is the ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery image.
Download VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip - this will get you root. It has busybox, su, and the Superuser APK.
Steps
On the phone, enable USB debugging in Settings -> Applications -> Development.
Connect phone to PC via USB cable. Verify that adb sees the phone by running
Code:
adb devices
Make sure your phone shows up (mine is HT1ASVJ....).
Boot phone into "HBOOT" mode (remove and reinsert battery, then hold Volume Down and Power)
Once booted, press Power to select FASTBOOT mode
Flash the recovery image:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
From the phone menu, select RECOVERY. Use the Volume Up/Down and Power keys to navigate.
Copy the rooting ZIP to the phone's internal storage:
Code:
adb push VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip /emmc/
On the phone, choose "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from internal sdcard". Select the VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip and confirm.
Choose "reboot system now".
That's it, you've unlocked your Vivid, have a recovery image and root. Test that by installing the Titanium Backup APK:
Code:
adb install [URL="http://matrixrewriter.com/android/files/TitaniumBackup_latest.apk"]TitaniumBackup_latest.apk[/URL]
To remove Carrier IQ (credits go to 8125Omnimax):
Run Titanium Backup and remove the following 2 apps: HtcIQAgent, IQRD
On your terminal/command prompt, run:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
rm iqd iqfd
cd /system/lib
rm libhtciqagent.so libciq_client.so libciq_htc.so
rm /system/etc/iqprofile.pro

After you do the boot loader unlock, recovery and root, then I can flash a custom ICS ROM?

You need to upgrade to ics before do a custom ics rom. You have to have updated hboot, etc. so flash the ota ics then you can unlock boot loader, recovery, root, and flash ics.

Thanks for the reply....I have stock ICS and I unlocked bootloader today on HTC dev site...I tried to use hansoon's all in one tool to do recovery but did not know how to get phone in recovery mode....but I see how to in your directions, will try tomorrow...
Very much appreciate your help.

Nice guide!

is there a battery difference or more ram when Carrier IQ is removed?

Excellent guide! Thank you!

thanks
Worked just fine!

does this wipe any personal data or installed apps???

Yes, of course. It's a new ROM. All your apps will be wiped out.
Data on the SD card, will, of course, be left alone. Check out my Android backup guide on how to backup and restore what you need to.

Thanks for the info mate

I also wasn't able to locate them in TB. I'm assuming that means the program isn't there. Would I be incorrect in assuming that?

No, not correct...There is another program you can use to remove the CIQ, I'm not at my comp right now, but its one of those "one-click" kind of things. Sorry I can't be more specific, but browse the forums...you should find it. But I've used it and my Carrier IQ is now removed.

Is the reason you couldn't find the IQ is because your running: MIUIAndroid_Holiday-2.7.6 ?
I'm just asking because I unlocked, rooted and flashed a stock ICS and I also can't find the apps in TB.

Negative.....this incident was prior to me installing MIUI.....

baseband: 62.33.20.080. 1.22.12.29

radio- 2.22.19i
ok... so now i want radio 2.22.28.25, spl 1.33.0013d (hboot) & froyo by lazlo 5.2 on my g1... last night i upgraded both radio & SPL but it didnt boot so i reverted through recovery, please give me simple steps to flash to this rom... also note that if there anything that i should be careful of can be mentioned... any other help or suggestion is welcomed... thanks in advance...
P:S: sorry guys i meant to say no links please... only simple instructions will do... i get more confused with links ....

well youll need links for the file you need
the best way is to flash through fastboot, have you used adb or fastboot before?
if not you should learn but this can be done from recovery. dont recommended it though
what i do recommended is looking at all the great guides throughout xda on how to do this (root and upgrade) but if you need your hand held i dont mind.
so read up, if your still confused let me know and i or another helpful soul here will help

thanks for the quick reply... i've the files allready... i've ADB in my pc... my sd is in fat32 format ... so please tell me how to flash through fastboot...

so power on while holding back or camera and plug your phone into your pc, if this is the first time a driver or two should pop up (android 1.0 or something)
no you will be on hboot screen and phone will say in red fastbootusb
with me so far?
now open the folder where all files are, here you need recovery (yes i know you have it but you still need it) radio, spl
also have the orange.nbh file handy in case you have trouble
(also best to have all these files in your platform-tools folder along with adb in case you havent changed the environmental variables and added a path for adb)
hold shift and right click choose open command window here
now type <fastboot>
hopefully a list of commands pops up this will tell you fastboot is working
now type fatboot devices
should show phone id here
if all is good lets proceed
type <fastboot flash recovery recovery.img>
(or whatever the file name is for your recovery)
you should get a notification it worked
now <fastboot flash radio 2.2....img>
(replace the 2... with the name of your radio image)
now fastboot flash hboot 1.33..img>
(replace 1.33... with the name of your spl image)
here is a sample of what this would look like in fastboot for me
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
so if you name your files the same as above you can just copy and past these commands
oh and if i didnt mention before you must extract the zip folders into the same location as adb unless you change environmental variables on your pc
been drinking a little so hope this is good! let me know how you fair

okk bro... but do i flash the new rom ??? i have lazlo 5.2.zip ....

When your done with the recovery,radio,spl you will type fastboot reboot recovery
Now flash fbl from recoveery
You can't do anything in flashboot except -w now because you will be quasi s-on
But fastboot wipe is the cleanest wipe so do this inbetween flashing roms, and superwipe cause wiping is fun
So yes flash roms only in recovery after this update

srry to bother you bro... but can you please elaborate the last process with commands ?? like i have the rom in .zip format so wht should i type in console & what should i do after that ??? srry man i am a total noob !!!! BTW what is FBL ???

Fbl froyobylazslo
The rom has to stay a .zip to flash it from recovery, the radio,spl and recovery has to be extracted from the .zip to be flashed in fastboot

If, and only if, you already have 1.33.0013d and the 27.08 radio, copy the Froyobylaszlo zip onto the sd card. Just that one zip. Nothing else. Boot into recovery by pressing power+home. Go to flash zip and choose the zip, flash it, and reboot and enjoy

Hey demkantor
I quit most of the internet for a while, but I'm back now.
(Offtopicness xD)
Anyway, um. To OP. Do you have an ext partition on your sd card? I'm pretty sure FBL requires one.

In recovery. Find the partition sd card option. What size is your sd card and how many apps do you expect to have? Ill give you a suggestion.

you have amonra1.7 now right?
boot into recovery and scroll down to partition sd card
if you want sawp (more than likely you do) choose around 96mb
then choose about 512 for ext
(this will be good choices for a card that is 2gb or more)
then after it runs its course i suggest scrolling down to ext2 - ext3
after that runs its course do the ext3 - ext4
(there are pluses and minuses to ext4 but i feel the speed out ways the life expectancy)
i assume you have finished all the fastboot commands from earlier?
so if you hold camera and power phone reads .28 (or whatever .25) for radio
and .13d for hboot?
if yes than do this and then flash fbl, when you reboot let the phone idle 5-10min
then yeah! your golden!

@ demkantor & frankdrey .... thanks to you both ... now i've got what i wanted...thanks again you guys made my day

No problem, and shortybro need make a good point, as soon as you set up the rom just how you like it, reboot into recovery and scroll down to backup, and do a nandroid. This is like a restore point in case you mess something up. Also do it before you flash another rom, if you don't like that rom it a quick step back to have it just the way you like it. Just remember to wipe!

Complete Installation Guide for JB or ICS on a Nexus One (Updated 12/29/12)

I initially looked for a complete update guide on here and eventually found all the information I needed, but it was in multiple places and sometimes hard to find. After getting everything installed on my N1 I thought I would write a guide for other noobs like me that want to try out ICS or JB but would like a step-by-step guide. I hope that it is helpful. SpazeDog ROMs (both ICS and JB) are working wonderfully on my N1 - its a very nice update from CM7 with only minor issues so far.
Note: this was initially written specifically for SpazeDog roms, but as they have not been updated in a while I have provided links to other popular roms as well. If you would like to try a different ICS or JB rom this guide should work, just substitute with the appropriate rom and depending on the one you choose, you may also need to install Google apps.
If you looking at this guide and don't know the basics yet, check out the Newbie Friendly thread first.
Links to popular roms that will work using this guide:
Evervolv JB 4.2
Evervolv JB 4.1
CM 10, JB 4.1.2 by vijendrahs
CM 10, JB 4.2.1 by vijendrahs
Spazedog ICS/JB
Disclaimer: This guide involves making changes to your phone that potentially could brick your phone leaving it unusable. I am not liable for any changes you make or problems you may have with your phone. You should at least be familiar with entering commands using command prompt. This procedure will erase ALL the data on your phone. Make sure you have a backup of everything. A nandroid backup is highly recommended. Proceed at your own risk.
Before we get started make sure you have the following: a rooted Nexus One, a USB cable to attach your phone to a computer, and the Android SDK. If you are just now installing the Android SDK, open the SDK manager and make sure to install the "Tools" and in "Extras" the "Google USB Driver" are checked off and download them. Alternatively, you just download ADB and Fastboot (search this forum or google). If you have a Mac see this thread to get started with ADB and Fastboot.
If you Nexus One is NOT already rooted, then follow this guide from Cyanogenmod to root your phone. If you plan to use the adb commands below (they are optional) make sure you have usb debugging enabled: go to "Settings" → "Applications" → "Development" → enable "USB debugging."
Step 1 - Download everything you will need:
4EXTRecovery Updater - the first link will download the .apk to your computer or phone.
BlackRose - go down to bottom of the first post to "Attached Files" and download the latest BlackRose zip file. If you don't want to do it yourself, check out this thread to flash a pre-made partition scheme. Often the developers (Evervolv) will also have a partition schemes that you can flash via Fastboot from your PC as well.
Your rom of choice - go to the downloads section and choose which rom you would like to try. Download the zip installation file.
Since you will be decreasing the size of your partition that apps can be stored on consider something like Mounts2SD or AD2SDX to move apps to your SD card.
Step 2 - Install and use 4EXTRecovery Updater on your phone:
The easiest thing to do is go to the 4ext link above, download and install it, directly from your nexus one. You can also install it by copying the APK file to your SD card, then using a file manager to find it and install it or you can use command prompt by opening command prompt, cd to the location of the Android SDK tools, and then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the APK is located on your computer):
Code:
adb install /path/4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk
After you have installed 4ext open the 4EXT Recovery Updater. Tap "Settings" → "Allow" superuser request → "Yes" to connect to 4ext to get new data. Now select "Online install/upgrade" → "Yes" assuming it detects your nexus one correctly → select and install the latest 4ext recovery (at the top of the list).
After 4ext has installed, it will have placed a recovery image on your SD card - find it (its called recover.img) and it should be located in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ folder. Copy this to your computer in case something goes wrong later and you need to re-flash the recovery image!
After installation of the 4ext recovery turn off your phone and boot into recovery by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. This will boot into the bootloader, then press the power button once, use Volume Down to select "recovery" and press the trackball to select. Alternatively you can use the command prompt:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Your phone should now boot into the 4ext recovery menu. Before moving on make sure you have any important stuff backed up because you are about to erase your entire SD card! Select "tools" →“partition sd card” → “remove all partitions and start from scratch.” Then for the 1st partition select “1024″ for a 1GB partition (this will be where ICS will be able to put your applications & data). Select "skip" for the 2nd partition and for the swap partition. Finally select the system “ext4″.
Step 3 - Copy the Evervolv, SpazeDog, or whatever zip installation file you have chosen to your phone's SD card
Download the ICS or JB zip file above and copy it to the root of your newly formatted SD card.
Step 4 - Installing and using BlackRose to resize the system partition:
Download the BlackRose application and install it on your computer. (Alternatively people have made flash-able partition schemes that you can just flash from your PC - usually links and instructions are provided in the installation rom's thread, Evervolv's here. If you do have access to a computer you can check out this thread).
Make sure your nexus one is attached via USB to your computer.
Open the BlackRose application - it will install and reboot your phone. Then follow along as shown in this video to resize your partitions for a JB ROM.
If you plan to install the ICS rom then use the video above as a guide but use the numbers (sizes) for the different partitions as indicated below.
After BlackRose has installed you will need to restart the application. After it has started up and recognized your device select "apply stock/custom blackrose" by typing in 1 and enter.
Then select "custom blackrose" by typing in 2.
Then type "resize" when prompted.
Now you will need to change the sizes of the system partition to 220 for ICS or 260 for JB.
Change the cache size to 8.
Finally name the new system partition, either "ICS" or "JB" depending on what you plan to install.
Note: some people have reported having problems getting into recovery at this point (if not move on to step 5). If that happens, luckily for you, 4ext put a recovery image in the downloads folder of your SD card and if you did what I said in step 2 you saved it. Try reflashing that recovery image using fastboot (remember the one that was in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ and was named "recovery.img"). Put your phone into the bootloader by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. To reflash the recovery open command prompt and cd to the location of the Android SDK tools. Then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the recovery image is located on your computer):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/recovery.img
If that does not solve your problems (inability to get into recovery) then I would recommend going back to the cyanogenmod wiki and installing Amon_Ra's recovery. Then you can use it to flash your installation zip.
Step 5 - Install JB or ICS:
Now turn your phone off and boot into recovery as you did in step 2.
4ext will load. Select "wipe/format" → "format all partitions (except sdcard)" and then also "wipe data/factory reset."
Now go back and select "install from sdcard" → "choose zip from sdcard" → and then select the ICS or JB zip you copied to the SD card in step 3.
Now either the ICS/JB installer will load or it will just install in one step. Just follow the prompts to install and enjoy.
Depending on the ROM you chose you may need to install Google apps (see the specific ROM thread for details) and will also likely want to flash an apps-to-SD script as mentioned above so you do not run out of space.
This method worked perfectly for me, hopefully it will work well for you as well. Enjoy.

Great work, your guide is amazing!!! I followeed it and ended with an infinite bootanimation , I'm trying to discover what I did wrong :fingers-crossed:, but the guide was superb!

I am sorry to hear that. Can you boot into recovery or is that broken as well? If you can boot into ext recovery try selecting "wipe/restore" → "wipe data/factory reset" and then try to install BCM again. I probably should have added that above, I will do that now.
If your recovery is broken but you can get into the bootloader (holding down trackball while starting up), you should be ok. You will probably need to flash Amon_Ra's Recovery using Hboot as was described in the guide from cyanogenmod link above. If there is a way to directly hboot flash 4ext recovery I don't know how to do it. Then you can try installing BCM again from the Amon_Ra's recovery and re-install 4ext after you get everything working.

I tried the Texasice ROM and it worked, but I didn't like it! Later I tried again BCM and It worked! I dont know, maybe I did something wrong... Anyway thanks again for the guide!!

Does work the same if using fastboot method? Thx

I am not sure which part you are referring to, but, yes, a few of the above instructions could be replaced with fastboot commands.

The adb commands, instead using adb I can use fastboot commands right. That's what I used to root my n1 kinda familiar with fastboot. Thx

I used the adb commands above because you can use adb to reboot directly into recovery (fastboot you can only reboot normally or into the bootloader) and you can also use adb to directly install apk files - fastboot cannot do those two things - it is more for flashing images (recovery, roms, etc). In order for adb to work make sure you have usb debugging enabled: go to "Settings" → "Applications" → "Development" → enable "USB debugging."
Note that adb commands are not required - you can reboot into recovery and install the 4ext manually.
It won't let me post a link right now, but just google "adb commands" to find a list of all the commands you can use.
Hope that helps.

Thx. All I need it was to install black rose and partition it. Put zip on SD card wipe and flash. Installation was easier than I thought it would be lol
Also on ur guide you forgot to put 200 for the data part. You only had 220 and 16
Thx again got ics installed on my n1 smoother than cm 7.2

Yeah, its not bad - glad you got it working! ICS has been smoother than cm 7.2 for me as well.
Blackrose didn't ask me about userdata - it just assumed that automatically after putting in 220 system and 16 cache... I'll make note of that in the guide so its clearer. Thanks.

Got the issue with not being able to get into recovery after step 4, but I don't have the recovery image to flash. Once the SD card was formatted in step 2 I don't have a download folder. I attached what is in my SD card right now. Help please.

Look for "recovery.img"

Try to find if there is a "recovery.img" anywhere on your SD card, perhaps in the 4ext folder?
If you can't find it, do not worry, you can just go to the first page of this thread, click on the link labeled "follow this guide from Cyanogenmod" and then go to the section on how to download and install Amon_Ra's Recovery. Once you get Amon_Ra's recovery flashed you will be able to install any ROM of your choice.
You can reinstall the 4ext recovery later if you want.

OK I'm stuck on what the path name is suppose to be. I tried it every way I can think of. Can you take a look at my screen shot, and tell me where I'm going wrong? The recovery image is on my desktop, so I'm not sure what exactly I should be replacing "path" with. I tried it from the link, and how you have it in your note. You don't have the "/to/" after path as in the CM link.

Well I tried a couple more times, and I can get it to seemingly do it, but it just hangs on this: (see screen shot) I get no error, and if I try to enter recovery on the phone I still get the reboot to the android and triangle with the ! in it.

place the recovery under the folder which contains fastboot.exe and rename it to recovery.img
now use the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from platform-tools directory

And right-click this folder while pressing the SHIFT key on your keyboard. Then choose "Open command window here".

WOW Thank you both. I spent literally hours yesterday trying to get it to work. Tried your suggestions, and in five minutes it was up and running!
---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------
I may have spoke too soon. I followed the instructions to the end. Installed the ROM, and rebooted, but now after the X I get the Spazdog splash screen with the big Z in the middle and green dots moving, but it stays there forever. I waited 20 minutes one time. Tried reflashing, but I get the same thing.
---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------
Just giving an update on progress (in case someone else is in my boat too) Flashed back to stock GB. Reinstalled recovery, and reflashed Spaz. Got past the X, and the splash screen, but now it's stuck on the Android logo that looks like the night rider beam that goes across the word. Been there now for about 10 minutes.

You do have Blackrose, right?

Yep. Installed everything according to OP. I think it may be the partition sizes as I think flashing back to GB messed with them. It says 220 and 10, but after checking some threads, it looks like there is one missing (userdata). I tried flashing a custom GB from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214543&page=98 and I was able to install everything. Got it up and running, so I'm going to start over for ICS, or do you think I can flash one of these for ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637166 , and then just flash the ROM after?

220/10 means that you have 220MB for system and 10MB for cache, everything that's left will be userdata, so it doesn't ask (total is ~436MB, so userdata will be ~206MB in that case).
In HBOOT you can check how large your partitions are, or you could use the FreeSpace app for example. Always make sure your system partition is large enough before flashing a ROM.
