Installing recovery image from linux? Please help!

[Guest thisweb]

Is anyone able to do this?, my device isnt recognised in fastboot mode:

I've installed 2.1 hung rom .

I get into bootloader mode to try and load recovery image and follow instructions - typed as follows:

matt@matt:~$ cd pulserecovery

matt@matt:~/pulserecovery$ chmod +x install-recovery-linux.sh

matt@matt:~/pulserecovery$ ./install-recovery-linux.sh

< waiting for device >

I get waiting for device forever. I can see in nautilus phone is not recognised/ mounted. Anyone else using linux have this issue? I tried plugging USB in after and before booting bootloader/fastboot (blue screen thingy) but makes no dif.

Please help. Else ill have to go and install windows to install this rom - aggghh!!!

ps I've had no problem with ubuntu recognising device before, ie in android or from recovery menu. Just not able to mount it in blue screen fastboot mode, but without that I can't do anything. Sorry if this is off topic but I hoped there are some linux geeks who could help...

$ sudo ./install-recovery-image.sh

(assuming, of course, you have sudo. Otherwise you'll need to run it as root, e.g. $ su -c './install-recovery-image.sh' )

Ah, yes, not tried that, I assumed that wouldn't work either since device noit showing anyway but perhaps I am wrong. Used Virtualbox and win7 in the end.

Thanks tho
