Hello,
I tried to upgrade my Orange Boston from original Orange 1.6.* img via Apanda 1.6.2 to CyanogenMod, but I got stucked after trying to installing Clockwork Recovery. RomManager always says success when flashing the Recovery. I also tried to flash three diffrent recovery.img in fastboot mode and never got an error, but when I boot from recovery, it hangs with "starting recovery from flash". The status of the Boston is now.

Android: working Apanda 1.6.2
Fastboot: working
Recovery: not booting
Root: im not 100% sure about that it works correct (used androot)

Thanks for your help!

Try the Official Boston Update 2.1. This will fix your recovery error.

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried this too with the Austrian update. The problem is, that this needs also to boot into recovery for the update.

[saeen]

Reflash the recovery then.. Did u?

[3ernd]

tried with fastboot and Clockwork. I always get a success message but when I try to boot...

[saeen]

Did you tried A88 recovery image?

[3ernd]

no I didn't found it

[saeen]

There you go , for android 2.1

Command for fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-a88ds-v2.1.img

Command for ADB:

adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-a88ds-v2.1.img /sdcard/recovery-a88ds-v2.1.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-a88ds-v2.1.img

I'm going to install stock android after charging a bit and switch phones with my girlfriend back for my nokia n900 (less trouble   )

If you're still having trouble flashing a stock recovery after using CM 6.1 you could try flashing both a stock recovery.img and a stock boot.img.

I have uploaded a stock Orange ES v2.1 recovery.img and boot.img here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G44U0KK2
Commands are:
fastboot flash boot F0X-0-226D-4012-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery F0X-0-226D-recovery.img
fastboot reboot

Then try to boot into recovery mode. Let us know if this enables you to enter recovery mode.

You can boot into emergency download mode and then run the stock updater. When it is finished it will give you an error because it could not switch back to recovery mode, but that is no problem. The phone will be restored to normal. Just make sure it is done, after error message on your computer. Then disconnect USB cable, remove battery and put battery back in and turn on the phone. To boot into emergency download mode use the following keys.

emergency flash: volume up + red button + power

Hi I'm wondering if the the stock recovery for the Boston will work on my cincinnati bell blaze. I'd like to go back to my stock 2.1 os.

[Jackbox]

Yes, it should work. They are the same device.
