That very well could be...

Do I just open the run window?


This is the section of the walktrough I am on:

III: Flashing a Custom Recovery
Flashing a custom recovery will make your life easier when flashing ROMs in the future.

1. Download this file: Recovery.zip

2. Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK.

3. Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands:

* adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
* adb push recovery.img /sdcard
* adb push flash_image /system/bin
* adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
* adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

4. Success! You now have a recovery partition installed on your phone. You can access it by running "adb shell reboot recovery" or by powering off your phone, holding "Volume Up + Power On"

I got the command prompt open, but I can't figure out what I am supposed to do once in there. It won't let me go to the folder with the SDK shit.

I'm assuming the recovery part is pretty important, especially if I fuck something up flashing the ROM, right? Can I still put the ROM on there without doing the recovery?

From what I've seen....you have those files on your desktop and the commands are telling it to look in C:\

Long story short....move those SDK files to C:\
Open up the Command Prompt and type in: cd c:\
then enter those commands

I already did the Hboot thing, I guess that means the phone is rooted. Did that this morning.

Waiting for the all in one file from the androidforum to finish downloading, then I will try the rest of the steps. I have everything else I need downloaded already.


Major thanks to both of you again for your help.
