HELP!! i did everything right. Got to cmd and typed: fastboot.exe recovery image C:\recovery.img
it says 'fastboot.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external commnand, operable program or batch file.
what do i do?

You must set the cmd directory to the destination of fastboot.exe. Click here for a tutorial.

SUCCESS!!!

Couldn't get clockwork, any clockwork going so in a last ditch effort I tried the 'Clockwork recovery rom.kdz'. No clockwork, but when I flashed 2.5.1.8 suddenly had it working! The phone's button combo's are the same as the tutorials now, there must be something different this rom, none of the others changed the buttons. Fastboot is different too, like in this tutorial the screen just goes blank, before I had 'Fastboot' on the screen and used different buttons.

Anyway, I suggest to anyone with the same problems as me to use the 'Clockwork recovery rom.kdz' instead of the '2.1 Fastboot.kdz' in this tutorial.

Pretty happy now!

Where would fastboot.exe be located?

Hi im new to this phone modding lark! but have managed to follow instructions for loading black quarx rom, my question is How long does quarx take to boot up after install? left it for around 3 hours yesterday with still no boot up! Tried again this morning and its now been stuck at lg screen for an hour now. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
I have followed the instruction for android 2.1 with fastboot but the phone was collapsing - that is after doing it I had everything doing force shutdown including setup so I couldn't use it , I managed to flush it back to it's original v20c Australia but it seems these instructions just don't work for me.

I should mention that this is the second time I've done this and the first time I just breaked my phone! (Just got another second hand to play with).

Any suggestion why it's not working for me?

you probably have some dalvik cache files from the previous rom causing the force closes. always do fastboot -w or factory reset unless you know what you are doing.

I have done factory reset before hand, Don't have fastboot the this first stage should have given it to me but it with a proper 2.1 but that's didn't happen
and this has happened to me with two different phones.
