What could I be doing wrong? Maybe this will help finding the anwser: Downloaded the files, made to separate folders for both files on my computer (or do i have to put them on my gphone?). I copy pasted the boot.img files to the tools folder. Sync is also installed on my computer. I followed all the steps as mentioned but the output is just staying "downloading 'boot.img'..." Am i doing something wrong? Excuse my english, 15 year old dutch guy:) l8r Hey, i’ve got a problem at step 9: the output is just staying “downloading ‘boot.img’…” What could I be doing wrong?
