Wow, don't know how I went wrong...
Okay, I have a Kyros 7015, build no: MID7015A 1.6a 1/26/11 and have been trying to finish rooting it. I can get as far as rooted with Z4, but can't flash the recovery. I tried several different methods and know that it has something to do with the update and now I cant even get to the recovery menu. I see "plug in usb for fastboot....waiting" in blue. I did install SDK on my laptop, but I don't know how to go about using it. I've tried to wipe and reset, but I can't do anything much without being able to use recovery..HELP!!!
**Ok, here's an edit to this OP, I DID finally manage to get the Rooting process complete with the Z4 root, recovery, then the Watery Kyros ROM and ADW, which is pretty nice, actually. Also, using the Android Market I was able to add SetCpu to speed things up a bit. My advice to those having the problems with recovery image not found is to keep trying. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GO PAST ROOT IF YOU CANNOT MAKE A BACKUP! This is simply not worth the risk. How did I get it to work? Just kept going back to square one with it: If the image wouldn't take, I would unroot, reset, wipe all the apps, and start over. Watch your spacing as mentioned in numerous posts with the flash sdcard recovery using terminal emulator. I think what it all boiled down to was the download quality of the recovery image simply wasn't good enough in my previous attempts. If you're trying to get this done and have had nothing but problems, do not give up, you can do it, just clean slate it, and try again. I will help where I can if anyone has any questions for me. Good luck guys.
