When following the above instructions on a Mac I get an error, but also some apparent success (!) - is this ok?

./install-recovery-mac.sh
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
sending 'recovery' (3034 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY

... the device then stayed at the "Download RECOVERY Done!" stage.

[PaulOBrien]

It worked.

Hi Paul,

Firstly, thanks for all your hard work, I've lurked in the shadows of these forums for quite a while now but this is my first post.  When I'm trying to install the recovery and root images on ubuntu and fastboot mode is showing on my streak, the terminal just says 'waiting for device'.

Any ideas?

Thanks

[knightpants]

Have you rebooted the streak into fastboot first before trying to apply the images?

I'm in ubuntu lucid x64 and everything working fine, however ADB not working for me, I believe this is a USB driver error... as I get the error "error: closed" whenever I run an ADB command, only command working is "adb devices" where it lists the device, but that's it....

I cant install the driver for mine
When I try to install it I dont get the Android FastBoot option. I only get Android ADB Interface, Android Bootloader Interface or Android Composite ADB Interface?
can I use one of these?

I set it to bootloader mode and it worked just fine.

i have completed the instructions, fastboot_mode comes up i run install recovery windows, downloads and writes - OKAY , i hold both up+down vol keys choose option2 which is the update.pkg and all i get is a black screen ?

I am getting the same thing?

[stuliv12]

im not sure if this will help to find a problem,  (i have run the root process) i downloaded telnet app, and i had connection refused, and to see if i could reach SU i downloaded titanium Backup and i was told i had to download a new version of busybox for it to run. Of which i did at then titanium was fine.

i tried to run the linux su in ubuntu to try and flash recovery but it wouldnt pick up my device, i just said waiting for device, when i was at the fastboot_mode.

may not help but thought id post this.

Smashing, Paul!

Does this work with Windows 7 64-bit, or will I need to use 32-bit XP or 7?

Edited to add: OK, worked fine on Win 7 64-bit.  As above, when the Streak was displaying "Waiting for USB FastBoot connect...", I opened Device Manager, right-clicked "Android 1.0" and searched for and installed "Android Bootloader Interface".  Windows gives you a nannying warning, but if you accept that, it works fine.

[PaulOBrien]

Download updated, apologies!

[Andy Garton]

What has changed please? I assume I need it (I did apply the first one already)?

[PaulOBrien]

The first one didn't work.

The update still doesn't backup / restore firstboot, but it loads!

Mediafire now tells me:

"Invalid or Deleted File
The key you provided for file download was invalid. This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on Mediafire. This occurs when the file is removed by the originating user or Mediafire."

The mirror seems to work...

[PaulOBrien]

Link typo fixed.

Please don't start using nandroid for doing backups and restores
