Ok, i rooted it. But i want now to install recovery and get another errors and problems...


Code: 
method with flash_image:

flash_image: not found

# mv /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
mv /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
failed on '/sdcard/flash_image' - Cross-device link

method with fastboot:

C:\Tools>fastboot erase recovery
< waiting for device >

So, what can i try do next?

it seems like your g1 is not in fastboot mode? for the fastboot command to work, you have to use the "camera+power" to get into fastboot mode. Then plug your phone into your computer and type "fastboot devices" to make sure it is properly connected. You should see your serial number to your phone.

Guys, the 0.95.0000 SPL is not fastboot capable so all suggestions to use fastboot will confuse more than helping him.
Did you download the flash_image binary and saved it on the root of your sd-card?
Did you download the recovery binary and saved it on the root of your sd-card?
If you did both, then start a shell in a terminal program and do an
Code: 
su
.
Now you can start the flashing by
Code: 
chmod +x /sdcard/flash_image
/sdcard/flash_image recovery /sdcard/<recovery.img>

Another hint: read here in the forum and try to understand what you are doing. ... and a bit knowledge of Linux will help you much.

/sdcard mounted in read only mode?

Nevertheless as I can see, its already executable, so give it a try. ;)

If it's not working directly from /sdcard, it's probably due to FAT format of sdcard. Try to copy the files to /cache and try do the same from there.

    Need a hint, i.e. have to look here and we see, that running apps from /sdcard is not alowed and you need to remount /sdcard with exec permissions.
