ok, so make sure your phone's connected with debugging on, then in cmd, type in cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, then type in adb devices. see if that work.

"place the Stock Firmware zip and update.zip on root" does "on root" mean place on my microsd (goldcard)

it's been a while since i done that and i never got that error, so i can't say for sure. just to make sure, your phone's still on and not in recovery yet, right?

also, did you successfully push the flash_image and mtd0.img to /data/local ?

edit: if you're getting "ESPRIMG no image or wrong image", something might have went wrong in the before steps. make sure your gold card isn't the sd card you usually use with your phone and make sure you're using every component from this thread and this thread only.

hmm, i see you're retyping the directory to your platform-tools folder, that might be the cause .i'm not 100% sure because i'm not that techi, but from what you posted, it seems that adb doesn't recognize the command you typed in because of all the directory stuff you have in front of adb push and all.

after you typed in cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, don't retype all that, just type in adb devices. after that, type in exactly what the OP says without retyping the directory stuff (so you would type in exactly adb push flash_image /data/local, nothing more) and keep going. see if that solves the problem.

That one is normal, but what about the steps afterward? Did you typed in those as well?

It's kinda odd because when you typed in the adb push command, yours only showed a list of possible command lists that can be used instead of pushing files

Just thought of something, if you don't mine, tell me step by step exactly what you did after you created the gold card, including where you moved the flash_image and mtd0.img files. I know this might be a bit long, but I want to rule out any possible causes.

Make sure your sd card is formatted as fat32 first. You could do this by connecting your phone to the pc and right clicking on the sd card under my computer. Then click properties and it should say what format it is. To format it, just right click the sd card again and scroll down to format. Click on format and it should give you the option to change it to fat32. Then once you have changed it and done a full format, then begin the process of changing it into a gold card. After you change it into a gold card, place all the files necessary onto the sd card and begin with adb.
