Error 170 means your PC isn't recognizing your phone. U might need to install the proper drivers and or minimal fastboot and adb drivers.

Remember the "adb" and "fastboot" you had to use on your computer to unlock bootloader? Boot your phone into recovery, wipe cache, delvik, data, and system partitions. Pick the zip you want to install and transfer the "boot.img" from inside the zip to the folder on your computer containing adb/fastboot. (Clockworkmod recovery has a "mount usb" function that allows you to trasnfer files in recovery.) Once you finish installing the zip of the rom in recovery go back into the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader) cmd then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"(without quotes) then reboot and give it a few minutes, first boot is always the longest.

The boot.img can always be found in either the root of the zip or in one of the folders like "boot" or 'kernel". If you need anything else feel free to ask, and happy pattys day mate :beer:

Finally found the thread. Section 4 is where you want to be right now but it all has useful information, trust me :good:
It says most roms have a function of auto installing the boot.img, this is true in the case that the phone is "s-off (security off)" which in fact you are not. But dont worry, im also s-on and have installed atleast 15 roms from this forum just experimenting with things. Once you do it a few times it takes about 5 minutes. Its usually a good idea to create a backup in recovery, only thing you'll have to do is flash the boot.img from the rom in the backup. Say you made a backup of "moonraker" but just installed "aospx" rom. When you recover from the moonraker backup you'll need to reflash moonrakers boot.img.

Always type" fastboot devices" and or "adb devices" before continuing on another step. I learned the hard way..sometimes the PC won't recognize the phone.

If the command window hangs and just says waiting for device. ..it sounds like the PC isn't recognizing the phone.

Hi Chrisb,

S was on. I did what you had suggested and the phone is working now. Used the minimal ADB and Fastboot program.

That's cool. Congrats..but if in future u wanna flash via fastboot, make a shortcut on your desktop of the minimal adb and fastboot folder. That was y can right click folder and select open file location and place the stuff u need in there..lol. Much easier
