Root trying to flash recovery

[Kaos187]

Hello So its no secret I am a NOOB and i have probably read the sticksy on all the recovery methods know to man on the android forums so let me state what i did and someone can fill me in where i messed up
1. rooted my device with gingerbreak apk.
2. made sure had titanium back and connected my phone to computer.
3. downloaded and extracted the flash image and put it on the root of my sd card.
4. opened up terminal emulator and typed all the pertinent info and my phone rebooted to stock.

can someone please give me a picture by picture tutorial or a youtube video to help ive tried every angle possible.

oh not that it matters but I have a Optimus M with 2.2 not 2.2.1 or 2.2.2.

The way i did it was thru an app called flash gui idk if its in a thread in here somewhere or if its in android market but it worked for me the icon looked like a blue lighting bolt. Hope this helps.

Edit: its in the android market for $.99 or you can google " flash image gui free download" and the first result is an sdk site and they host it for free with a thread about the app. thats all i got. good luck.

You didn't say that you put the recovery.img on the sd card. You need both the flash_image.img and the recovery.img.

I was new to this too and had problems getting into recovery. I used this guide (by EddAndInn) and followed it step by step and all went well.
