hi I have got into clockwork recovery mode to flash a new rom, should little robot in yellow, have a warning triangle with red exclamation symbol showing on it ?
p.s to my previous message if I leave recovery robot on screen it times out and reboots my xoom ??
hi still no further forward, when I go into platform-tools folder I see 11 files, and 5 directories, but no recovery image ???
but when I look at directory+ file listings, using windows explorer, I plainly see recovery.img, and I know I put it then when doing image extraction with winzip, what could be wrong, where am I failing, my head is done in know, please advise ???
