what fastboot file was I supposed to get from you? You said I need to get a file from you and send it to my gmail for some reason??

I asked this quite a few times, I do wanna try again but im tired I have been doing this since 9am day before that was 15 hrs and day before that was even longer.

If you can just put what you want me to try in one post and send me the file you wanted me to install on ubuntu or the link I ended up installing stk tool from that site you showed me earlier.

nite!!
thanks again!
 
The steps are numbered and in order.

If any step fails, STOP there and we'll sort out the issue. Do NOT proceed to later steps and please do NOT try things. That approach will reduce confusion for both of us. ;) :)

Each line command I've listed can be selected in Firefox with your mouse, copied with right-click, and pasted into the terminal window with right-click. Please do each command one at a time.

Step 0.

You've already flashed your liquid smooth rom to your phone and you already have a live usb of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS that's worked.

Step 1.

Get your boot.img file from your rom zip. In Windows, make a zip of it (right click on it in your File Explorer), and then Gmail it to yourself.

The point is to get the boot.img to where you can find it once you're in Linux in the easiest possible way.

Step 2.

Boot into Linux, get a terminal window with alt-control-t and open Firefox.

Step 3.

In the terminal window:

cd Downloads
rm *
rm -rf *

Step 4, verify.

In terminal window:

ll

(That's two small L's) You should not see any files.

Step 5.

In Firefox, goto your Gmail and choose to download boot.img.zip

Step 6.

In Firefox, choose to download fastboot.zip from this thread.

Step 7.

In terminal window (you're still in Downloads, you haven't changed anything since Step 3):

unzip *.zip

Step 8, verify.

ll

You should see listings for boot.img.zip, fastboot.zip, fastboot-linux and boot.img.

Stop and report if you don't see those.

Step 9.

In terminal window -

chmod 755 fastboot-linux

Step 10.

In terminal window -

sudo ./fastboot-linux devices

Stop and report exactly what the terminal window shows if you don't get your device.

Step 11, only if you saw your device listed in step 10 -

sudo ./fastboot-linux flash boot boot.img

I am sure that you are in good hands with EarlyMon (and I have to be at a dance recital all afternoon). I will check in and see if you need my input now & then though.

Yeah, sorry about the interrupt - had I known the OP was this dedicated, I'd have taken him to Linux straightaway! :o

liquid never flashed its always given me a fail.

Ok - here's the deal -

You have to flash a rom first, then do not try to boot it up, and immediately turn around and fastboot flash its matching boot.img (that you get from the rom's zip file).

And you have to do it in that order.

As I said yesterday when we first started. I asked if you could copy the rom to the k: drive and flash it.

You said yes.

on a tight budget I cant do with out my phone. No one can call me right now.
Click to expand...

No, I can't. I'm trying to help here and work under the hood on the forum itself.

I'm sorry, we have over a million members, calls from me aren't happening.

So - let's stick to the path, beginning with step 0.
 
Between the post above this one and the numbered instructions, everything is here.

If you decide to skip, modify, or change any steps, or go in another path, my help ends.

You're not listening.

Flash liquid, it's going to fail.

I know that.

Flash liquid, do not reboot, then follow the steps.

Any other way is not going to work.
