not wanting to be mr.whiney thread hijacker, but r3 still says "./fastboot-linux recovery clockworkmod.img" so is still missing the "flash" bit

todoleo: did you try as root?

Ah, gotcha, I've fixed that one now too, thanks!

Same here!

Windows: Drivers or 'Eject' driver disk
Mac: Eject driver disk
Linux: Try running as root

Thanks Paul, any idea where to get the drivers from?

[flibblesan]

Plugging the phone into a computer should make a CDROM drive popup with the drivers in. I have extracted them and uploaded them here: http://android.modac...ost__p__1779465

There is something i don't understand :

The line adb reboot bootloader
You need a rooted phone to do this normally.

Or is there a special adb in Skate ?

You don't need root to do that.

Oki
So you don't need the boot.img
Just adb reboot bootloader
And fastboot flash recovery

And install a custom rom already rooted

There really should be a sticky that's just says.
"Please be aware Rooting / Superuser / Custom Rom is not the same as SIM unlocking"
How many times do you see people getting confused with it.

Despite not asking, the drivers didn't work in Windows (7 starter) until I'd done a reboot.
After that it went as described. Thanks Paul.

The solution is to, frankly, badword about with USB disk mounting and unmounting. Most reliable is to turn off debug mode, turn on USB disk mode, eject USB disk, then go back and turn on debugging mode. If you get the warning OK/Cancel requester when turning on the debugging mode that seems to be the magic talisman to indicate that you have effected the appropriate mystic sigils to get to first base.
