then it comes back into the old bootloader that has the only option to install an upgrade.zip.

What do I do wrong?


Thanks!

All that and more..

There seems to be no easy way of doing this upgrade:

- I have put a custom ICS ROM on the root drive of my sdcard
- I have successfully pushed clockwork recovery 5.0.2.0. (fastboot flash recovery recovery_legend_5.0.2.8.img)
- I get into the related recovery menu
- But whatever I select (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, or install zip from sdcard, I see the CWM logo and nothing happens for minutes at the time.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Default SOLVED

Well, yikes me as much as you want, it has been done now.

Runs nicely, question remains why was it so difficult to unlock it.
I think its to do with the sdcard: formatting it to FAT32 and putting the LEGEIMG on there did the trick. Fact is I tried another sdcard before, which did not work. So probably its a good idea for people to try a second sdcard, just in case.

Thanks for your help.
