you can't update using stock pkg files with clock work recovery!

this has been said several times now...

no going out to play until you've repeated a thousand times...

I MUST use the stock recovery image to flash the Dell update.pkg

thats because youre not working in the correct folder..

drag the fastboot-windows.exe to the CMD that will give you the correct path to the filename in the CMD window

... then you can carry on typing the rest of the command line..

thats the easyway..

are you trying to flash the stock recovery?

I guess you I'll do you a .bat file for it, although learning to do stuff manually is much better for your soul :D

unzip this to a folder..

its got all the bits you need I think..

run the .bat file.

let me know if it works.

I did it already for myself, here it is zipped up. Just run the exe for windows and it will install the flash recovery. I know you (fards) dont need it, but others may.

Edit: haha beat me to it :D

lol tbh its a pretty basic thing, but if you've never played with dos and the command line in windows (CMD is better than it used to be no matter what some people think) then you're unlikely to know it ..

however you really need to get the hang of CD DIR etc.. you can auto complete using TAB Key as well, so if you want to access a path such as C:\mystuff\really\should\thunk\of better\examples.exe you could type c:\my press TAB and it will fill in the stuff, then type \ then press TAB again and it will give you the first folder name inside that, press tab again the second etc etc. so im my example I could type c:\mTAB\rTAB\sTAB\tTAB\TAB\eTAB and it will give me the same command with all formatting correct..

The windows command line tools are crap compared to linux...

anyway I've made it easier... see above..

yes when you have stock recovery you should be able to.. as long as you're in UK and not on at&t etc...

if you are then you need to follow different instructions first

What are you trying to do exactly? I thought you got the original recovery working? If you have.... then the easiest way to get 2.1 is to just download the update via the android browser and let it update itself.

Are you asking how to flash the original recovery or the 2.1 update? To get the original recovery... do this:

How to install - Windows, Linux and OSX

* Download the recovery image of your choice above and extract the zip file (Fards or mine should worl great)

* Put your device in bootloader mode - Unplug the device from your PC, remove the device battery, then replace it and turn device on with the camera button pressed. Select the 'fastboot' text on the top right, wait around 10 seconds then plug the device into your PC. The screen display should change to 'FASTBOOT MODE'. If it doesn't, repeat and retry (it's a bit temperamental!)

* WINDOWS - double click 'install-recovery-windows.bat'
