How to Install
Pre-Requisite: Have ADB Setup already. If you don’t, please read ADB 4 Dummies.
Copy Recovery-RA-nexus-v1.8.0.1 (18) to a location where fastboot can find it. Your desktop would be the easiest place.
Open a command prompt or terminal window and cd desktop
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/linux
type: fastboot devices
(to make sure that fastboot “sees” your phone)
type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.8.0.1.img
wait about 30 seconds to 1 minute (longer the better to be safe)
type: fastboot reboot recovery
(If that command doesn’t work, just type fastboot reboot. once your phone reboots. Turn it off and boot back up while holding the VOL-DWN Button. This should boot you into the bootloader. Then scroll down with the vol-dwn button to RECOVERY and select it with the power button. Your custom recovery should boot.
Done.
