My mobile details are as folows :
Nexus one CM7.2(RC)
Screen - SLCD
Radio: 5.12.00.08

I forgot what my previous HBOOT was

I downloaded the latest Blackrose from OP.
Ran the blackrose.exe it was not the same as i seen in youtube.

It took long time gave some errors , rebooted into HBOOT

now it says at TOP : * BlackRose - Made by Lecahel(dla5244) *

and HBOOT is 7.35.5017 ( not very sure but it was 7.35.xxxx )

so i guess Blackrose is installed.
EDIT: ok i am getting the Blackrose menu

but i am not getting the recovery mode , how can i install any ROM ? ( life sucks beng a noob )

while you're in the bootloader, select Recovery and it will take you to the recovery menu, then select Select zip from SD card, then choose the ROM that you want to flash

Of course that should be the way. but when i press RECOVERY it shows 'X' and forever stays ther. i had to remove the battery

If you changed your partition, you might want to reflash your recovery.

firoz3321 · Mar 25, 2012

i just installed the Blackrose and did no other changes. i didnt change any partitions yet.

I will try reinstallng the Recovery , by the way i am using 'amon ra' recovery hope it has nothing to do with this.

thank you i will try it now

EDIT

can i use Clockworkmow touch or clockworkmod ? i cant find RA AMON in rom manager

when you updated to the latest blackrose, you will have to flash via fastboot the nb0 file. Check the first page for more info.
Below are the instructions, on the first OP page, that I am referring to:

*.Those who using older version custom BlackRose(eg.111231), Since older version can't communicate with BlackRose installer so you need to follow my direction.
Once you follow my direction, you no need to do this later

1.customize same as previous partition layout using BlackRose editor(view "execute BREditor")
2.fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcust.nb0
3.fastboot reboot

It says if i use the INSTALLER i dont need to do that , am i wrong

can i use Clockworkmow touch or clockworkmod ? i cant find RA AMON in rom manager

While in the ROM manager, select Flash Alternate Recovery and it will flash Amon_RA v2.21

Thats exactly how i remember i did last time. but now its not highlighted (says NO Alternative available)
may i already have it ( but i cant get into it) will try to get Clockwrk first and then try AMON RA again may be that will help

EDIT: Looks like i am stuck here .
I tried to install TOUCH RECOVERY from ROM MANAGER, downloaded and then gave error.
then i tried previous version and same again gave error.

RA recovery is not highlighted to install it.

Rebooted but i cant enter the RECOVERY.

EDIT2

ownloaded RA Recovery and installed manually from terminal
from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611829

Code:

via terminal app

Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)

First it gave soe OFFSET errors and then its said its successful

Still stuck at the 'X' .

CM7 is working fine. only issue is i cant get to the RECOVERY after i installed the BLACKROSE.

Downloaad

Please refer to post #1025 that I posted earlier for more details. Your problem is not the recovery, but you didn't flash via fastboot the nb0 file after installed the latest Blackrose.

i am sorry if i am wrong but it says if i am using OLD version i have install the nbo file. i installed the 120216 version

also i cant find the 'hboot_brcust.nb0' from the downloaded zip file.
in the BINARY folder 'hboot_blackrose.nb0' and 'hboot_stock.nb0' are available

The youtube videos show very easy steps and i followed the same. May be You are right but i dont have the nbo file you are referring to either

What is your partition size right now? You have to use the standalone BREditor, you might want to watch the Youtube video clip for details, and resize the same size as your current patition and it will generate the hboot_brcust.nb0 file. Flash via fastboot the hboot_brcust.nb0 which the file that I am referring to.

That is for ICS ROM, CM7.2 is still Gingerbread. If you want to use Texasice ICS ROM then you will want to flash the hboot_brcrust_210-8-218-ICS.nb0

My main idea was to install the ICS. so i have ICS nbo. but i dont have the gingerbread nbo file ( i wish i know what i really am talking )

EDIT:
done installing the 'hboot_brcrust_210-8-218-ICS.nb0' now i have 'system 210 / cache 8 / userdata 218' partitions ( it says so)

but i cant get this stupid RECOVERY

Thank you taodon for the patience .. i finally got the RECOVERY

I installd the RA Recovery by this method :

Code:

via fastboot
Code:

Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img

this time it worked .. thank you all

Glad that it worked for you

I had the same problem as yours but I read the instructions and figured it out

Where can I get the SPLHexEditor program? I found a link that shows the .exe file used to be in IntersectRaven's website but the file isn't hosted anymore.

You could just launch the BReditor directly from CMD by navigating to the folder with blackrose.exe, then type "blackrose.exe editor"

Much easier than going through the hassle of using spl hex editor.
