leolas, I'm going to write you on this thread instead of PM. I don't seem to get notified about those, so I don't see them until much later. So I hope you are reading this thread still.
My results today have been quite confusing. You asked how I had flashed the cwm file you gave me earlier today. I had used your 2nd method given in the first post. Could that have cause the "wipeout" of my stick (i.e. it would no longer boot)? Did you intend for me to use the first method? I was assuming you wanted me to use your newer method 2.
After that, I flashed Finless 1.5. It was fine. Then I tried the recovery that came with it. Fine. Then I went to Finless 1.6b again. Yesterday, all recoveries whether original or cwm had failed to show when I booted into recovery ("no signal"). But now, both the original and cwm versions are displaying when I boot into recovery!! EDIT: I misspoke there. I meant to say that the recovery from Finless 1.5 and cwm are displaying, NOT the original 1.6b recovery.
I realize this is nuts, and I hope I didn't waste too much of your time. But my problems yesterday were real! I may go back soon and try to figure out what caused it. I have a feeling that my Finless 1.6b install was somehow "flawed", and no matter what I tried, I was not going to be able to go into any version of recovery.
Note that for my recent successful recovery installs, I've only been using Method 1. I have NOT used your method 2 yet. I had tried those yesterday unsuccessfully. And I had tried method 2 this morning with your new file, but as I said earlier in this post, maybe I was supposed to be using method 1, not method 2. In the near future, I will be trying method 2 again, and I'll see if I can boot into cwm recovery after that.
By the way, I can use a wired mouse and keyboard during cwm recovery, but I'm unable to use a wireless mouse. Should that also be working?
I'm sure I have your head spinning by now! Thanks again.
