PLEASE HELP!!

I'm in the middle of rooting (using Matth3w's guide) and when I type:

/system/bin/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-0.99.3.img

it returns:

/system/bin/flash_image: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

I've tried 3 times thinking a typo, but I don't think so.

PLEASE HELP

Looks like you are typing that line correctly, is there something that wasnt entered in right in the previous steps? I would go back and check that first and then maybe just exit and start over if everything looks ok above.

I do not see a typo in what you typed here. Did you enter any " ? Did you download and install the SPRecovery on the SD card without any file extension?

So what was the problem? Just out of curiosity.

One of my downloaded files was corrupt, re-downloaded it and all is well. As I told mike in my pm...
I was at a good stopping point before I install overclock and smoked glass so I had me a pizza two beers and a float around the jacuzzi.

I'm now officially ready. :)
