Place the recovery file in same location as your fastboot file

Also post the output of your actual command and response

    OK, I'm making progress. I'm in fastboot and try to flash recovery, but it says "error-cannot open twrp.img", What am I doing wrong?

    cannot load = MyFileNameIsWrong.img.img


    and copy/paste is so useful ;) (so the below is an example :)):

    get TWRP from:
    2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
    or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
    (make sure MD5 is correct, that site does not play nice with download managers)


    in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
    fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
    fastboot erase cache
    fastboot reboot-bootloader



    Code:
    C:\ADB3>[B][COLOR="Blue"]adb version[/COLOR][/B]
    Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
    
    C:\ADB3>[B][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot devices[/COLOR][/B]

    now it just sits on "waiting for device".

    are you in bootloader with the red "FASTBOOT USB" showing?

    and what does windows device manager show, check FAQ #2: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2

    I'm at my wits end! It still says cannot open openrecovery..... Where should I put the recovery file? Maybe its not on the right place?

    Place the recovery file in same location as your fastboot file

    Also post the output of your actual command and response

    Type the file extension at the end. So, it will be like this: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7ul.img
