Root Trouble Flashing hboot cm7

Hi

I wonder if someone could help with a problem I'm having trying to flash HBOOT CM7.

I am s-off with revolutionary and with 4ext recovery.

This is what I've been doing:

- full wipe / factory reset using 4ext
- go to fastboot and use Android flasher to flash CM7 which it does successfully as I can see the pink heading change to CM7 on the phone's HBOOT screen.
- Boot into recovery
- Recovery opens but I get the error messages E can't open ... ...

At this point I flash back the stock HBOOT and all is well.

I had a search for this problem and the advice was to completely wipe before the flashing the CM7 HBOOT. The first time I hadn't done this but the second and third time I did. The third time was with a new download.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd recommend changing your recovery to either Clockwork or AmonRa depending on your erase size and trying again. Also do this with Android Flasher.

I resolved this by using Android Flasher and the Command line and using the following commands:

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot bootloader

Thanks to Rastaman who had shared the solution in this post: http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/447337-e-cannot-find-cache-recovery-log-file.html

this is why we try and get people to learn fastboot fow flashing stuff like hboot.
cos you need to learn it for the other commands anyway
