Installing Clockwork Recovery from a Mac

[Guest Theboyjones]

Hi, I've installed the official 2.1 uk update and now I want to install the FLB MOD but I am unable to install the clockwork recovery image from my Mac, I put the phone in bootloader mode then I open the file fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.4-pulse.img but all i get is an error message saying that it failed to mount because of no mountable file system.

What am i doing wrong please?

Thanks

Ok, looks like i'm misunderstanding what fastboot flash means (i'm a newbie), can someone please explain to me in plain english:-) how to install the recovery rom?

Thanks

Didn't I hear somewhere that the Pulse Clockwork rocovery is now official? In which case just download "Rom Manager" from the market and apply it that way.

But rommanager says that the phone needs to be rooted and afaik i can't root without installing the clockwork recovery....or can i???

Just install AmonRA, then once you've flashed FLB, you can Flash the Clockwork Recovery from Rom Manager, I had to do the same today...
