Can you see what he did wrong?

I see several mistakes.

Like I've told you, you don't need to do that if you have the correct drivers installed....which he does.

When you have a generic fastboot driver, that does not include the Dell hardware id, than you would add '0x413c', but if your drivers have that programmed into it already, than there is no need to add that in.

You've never told me that directly but I have seen one of your posts where that was omitted. I wondered if that was correct. I was just following the guide that I first used. Good to know this though

If that's so I see one, the use of "/" in his command line. Two, fastboot reboot recovery, "recovery" is unneeded or does that reboot into recovery from fastboot?? Seems like I've read that someplace. I'm not familiar with other fastboot commands.

For general clarity, I have my fastboot stuff in a seperate folder also.

His problem was he typed in 'fastboot flash recovery/ recovery.img'

The way the S7 is setup, I have never been able to boot directly into recovery.

Somebody stated that they found a way but didn't "exactly" state that they actually did it!

I have a question about TWRP, is it supposed to be able to flash CWM packages? I tried a tweak posted here in the forum, and sure looks like it worked. Just wondering.

SHOULD, being the word, I've never done it.

if you mean by flashing zips, they're not "CWM" zips per se.

Standard zips are just zip files with edify scripts to run/install stuff.
ALL modern (ie post Android 1.6) recoveries support edify scripts.

Some of the most complex ones require busybox bundled as part of your recovery image, but the S7 doesnt have many zips that rely on it.

I did flash a otapackage I made, and it flashed...but my device didn't boot because my ROM sucks.
