There is no need really to install the SDK. If you are already using adb and fastboot, the SDK won't give you anything more.

One question: did you extract the files you are using? What I'm asking is: you are not trying to run binaries from with some sort of archive, like a zip are you?

i have tools not platform-tools depends on sdk version

my path is C:/ android/android-sdk-windows/tools yours may vary

so at command window when you first open it i type

cd/

cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools

then i type adb devices with phone just plugged in and not in fastboot, right after tools, not on a new line

or fastboot devices if phone is booted into fastboot bootloader


anyway to use adb you just plug phone into computer with usb debugging selected on phone, do not be booted into fastboot

to use fastboot you must be booted into fastboot mode--pwr and trackball pressed at same time and you are in fastboot

can you type fastboot devices while booted into fastboot mode and tell us what comes up on screen

if you are to that point you may need to fastboot a new hboot to get adb working

take the first two files and put them in your tools folder or wherever your fastboot.exe file is. you have to cd to that directory in command window first, then fastboot devices to make sure phone is recognized

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/go2.lol

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/hboot_blackrose.nb0

the go2.lol is BR dated 12/31/2011

after fastboot devices type:

Type fastboot boot go2.lol
Type fastboot flash hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0
Type fastboot reboot-bootloader to see if you have new hboot

it will be stock partition sizes 145/96/xxx

to change to ICS table size you dl below link to get hexeditor and use it to change to 220/16/200

to do that open the hexeditor and browse to where you have the above hboot_blackrose.nb0. then use the slider to change partition sizes

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/SPL...tor_111006.exe

you can rename it hboot_brcust.nb0 to identify it as new hboot

you can always use hexeditor to check hboot file sizes before fastbooting it

i edited above to fastboot reboot-bootloader

i tried those commands and put those file in the folder with fastboot and it did not work i think the problem is that its protected cuase i keep that and i try to put every password i could put but nothing.

i don't know anything about passwords with using fastboot

are you sure you are changing directories correctly to get to the folder with fastboot

thanks for helping efrant, based on screenshots and posts do you think he has sdk setup and drivers installed

once to that point i thought fastbooting a new hboot would resolve the problem on first screenshot--may be wrong

yea i have everything good just the hboot password i guess i put on ill just wait till he releases a new version maybe hell put something to help me.

ok i understand now

that problem is talked about in thread. efrant and taodan had some posts

dla5244 mentions it in OP, so maybe a solution, not sure

his latest version in OP 120421 is the one that mentions it

it may have just been posted

maybe you can fastboot the go2.lol and hboot from there from there, don't know

so you can type fastboot devices and see phone now--

No this cant be flashed in recovery. its a custom bootloader which allows you to alter partition sizes of /system, /cache, /data
yes this can be installed wid locked bootloader.
go thru the videos in the first page and read carefully before applying blackrose.

Once you have a version of Blackrose already installed on your device, you should be able to package up any subsequent hboot you want to flash in a CWM-flashable format, and you should be able to flash it in recovery.

thanx for clarifying efrant so after installing blackrose, then a. nb0 file can be flashed via recovery in a zip format?
but i suppose yogibogi was asking abt installing it for the first time via recovery
