change the drivers manually.. when connected in fastboot point the drivers in device manager to the sdk/usb drivers folder..

you can also flash recovery (and boot) from a terminal on the streak direct.

fairly sure I've written these loads of times already

with a rooted device..  
copy the recovery image to the sdcard

install and open terminal emulator (unless that one can't do root) in which case better terminal emulator (paid app) which is frankly *better*

 

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/whateveryoucalledtherecovery.img
reboot

while its rebooting hold down both volume keys

Had the USB driver issue so trying this...

unfortunatrly when I type su I get:

su: uid 10085 not allowed to su

Does this mean I don't have root?

[jutley]

yes use the universal root app then try again

EDIT.

Will do.

Ok, I don't think I'm doing something quite right here.

How can I tell which recovery version I'm in? I do the flash and reboot with volume buttons held and get the option to update but once I click the button I just see a black (but backlit) screen.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks.

Flashed stock recovery and that's working now.

Will try to go to MCR rom now...

I have been using pauls custom 2.1 rom for a day its fast and thats just the start icons are too big sure paul will do somwthing there.

Having problems getting stock recovery working, I've tried both the script method in the pinned post and simply flashing it with fastboot, but when I pick "install update.pkg from sdcard" I just get a black screen, like some were getting in earlier versions of Koush's.

Anyone have 8105 as a .zip file or have boot and system nandroid imgs from 8105? The custom rom won't boot, just hangs at the boot screen.

You can download the official O2 8105 package from here:

Have you tried the 'factory reset' option from the 'volume buttons' screen?

Nope, just did a full wipe and redownloaded the rom from the kitchen without any changes at all, if this doesn't work I'll try flashing the stock recovery and giving that a go.

Paul you have the dump of my 6267 recovery some posts before 

[mzsigler]

Factory reset worked, fantastic, thanks!

I've managed to get into the stock booloader but flashing gives me the verification failed message.

If i try and boot to clockwork recovery I get the black screen and can't proceed (that's when booting from terminal with root and from rom manager.

What version of the clockwork img file file should we be using? I've tried reverting to the previos two with no luck. Also tried having the erase recovery switched on but to no effect.

Help! :-)

[jutley]

use the latest recovery image 2.xxx remeber you need to use root explorer and delete recovery install.sh before you flash custpm rom or stock recovery will keep overriding the custom one make sure you have root access first with universal root apk.

Try this

The recovery.alt.img is the only version of clockworkmod recovery that works for me.

Had to run a factory reset after installing the MCR, however its now in and running. Even cut down, its just as slow as the O2 2.1 rom though.
