if download mode=vol. down+camera+power, then yes. the screen says downloading and it has the progress bar at the bottom and the sd card looking symbol.

Specifically, post 5. If you click on the first link, it will give you instructions on how to do it

ok first off yes recovery 3.0.8 is how you put the customs roms on the moment,yes its how you get root.

What is the deal with the new sprint rom? I can't get recovery loaded onto it after I did the official 2.1 update. I used the link a few posts back with the old updater. Still didn't work

you don't have the Samsung PC Studio running in the tray do you? that will cause errors, and also while your phone is plugged in, go to your Device Manager and delete the drivers and phone, this will cause it to re-install drivers the next time you try. Also make sure you are running the SWUpdater as Administrator.

you should be able to uninstall the drivers, and delete the device itself from your computer, like it was never installed. That way it will start fresh

what the f. i can't get the recovery to load no matter what i do. i had it rooted and custom 2.1 rom on it before i did the official update. i don't understand what could be causing this

Uninstall the new SWupdater, then d/l the old installer here: http://www6.sprint.com/downloads/sam...ent_Update.exe.Install it, Then in the program directory, go to the binary, and put the Recovery 3.0.8 in there, get that here: http://mtutor.uprh.edu/~rafael/moment/recovery3_0_8.tar. Then try again

stupid fn sht. this is really really pissing me off. i had everything set up till i did the official update. i unistalled my drivers and the updater. then installed the old updater. now i cant get it to read the device in the sw updater. i downloaded the drivers supplied in the stickies and it tells me error everytime i try to update driver or run setup.

This is what happens when you go ahead of the developers and download the Sprint junk. SDX Developers has some possible fixes listed. Someone made a script to change a DLL in the new update software to allow custom tar's to be flashed.

I have had zero issues.
