Re: [GUIDE][MAC][PC][LINUX] How to Unlock, Root and Flash Recovery
Just got power back. Good lookin out Ian!
Just got power back. Good lookin out Ian!
I am a bit confused. Ive been able to unlock it and restore back to factory using the other sticky. I have attempted the video walkthrough (wont go into clockwork but just reboots) and Ive tried this walkthrough on my mac (which also didnt work) I have tried it on all three different usb ports on this computer.
so from the bootloader what commands would i use to flash that file?
the nexus says booting image after i type those commands, but after that (it reboots) there is no change. Should that have installed something on the nexus?
no superuser, and apps that require root say there is no root :/
when I try to boot recovery i get "cannot load 'recovery'"
Mythos:r3-nexus7-superboot-1 mythos$ ./fastboot-mac reboot-bootloader
rebooting into bootloader... OKAY
Mythos:r3-nexus7-superboot-1 mythos$ ./fastboot-mac devices
015xxxxxxxxxxc18 fastboot
Mythos:r3-nexus7-superboot-1 mythos$ ./fastboot-mac boot recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.0-grouper.img
cannot load 'recovery'
Mythos:r3-nexus7-superboot-1 mythos$
leaving out the recovery just gives me the usage help menu. I also tried this on my windows pc and got the same cannot load recovery. I had switched to the mac thinking I might have messed up the driver installation. I didn't expect to have this much trouble
none of this seems to be working... i went back to factory and tried again on the mac and it didnt work again. I can do everything but root
Mythos:r3-nexus7-superboot-1 mythos$ chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh
Mythos:r3-nexus7-superboot-1 mythos$ ./install-superboot-mac.sh
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
I didnt see anything happen when i did the chmod command, nothing appeared on the nexus. when I installed the superboot it said it was booting the image on the nexus. I appreciate your help and there isn't any rush with this.
nope
