Except I dont even know how to install those imgs. I tried virtual terminal and it couldnt find the file. And I dont know how to use fastboot to install. | You should flash it with fastboot.
You'll need to have ADB installed:
fastboot flash recovery 3024v3-i9023.img
fastboot reboot

Thanks Mikroft, got it working. One last thing though, when I end a call the screen just turns off and I can't turn the friggen thing back on. Its like it freezes and I have to battery pull to get it working again. Any one else getting the same thing?

It actually happened before I even unlocked the bootloader I believe. Which makes me think its an app like NoLED thats causing the screen to become unresponsive or something. I got a friend to call me while it was "frozen" and the thing vibrated and my friend said it was ringing. But nothing rang on my end. Then like 5 seconds later the lockscreen appeared and everything was okay. So weird.
I figured it out. I think it's my Proximity Sensor thats broken. It registers that my face is still next to it even way after the call has ended making the entire screen and button combo useless. I don't even know how to test this though without killing the lifetimer because I want to return it before the 30 mins are up maybe. God damn.

I know that 3g provides better speed for data but lowers battery life but does it have anything to do with the amount of data used? Posted via RS Mobile | |

Flashed to CM7 Nightly Builds and it looks like I lost my MMS settings. Other than that everythings working smoothly, I returned my defective Nexus and it was a breeze. Now I can finally make calls. Post up mods you've done so far.

The case I would probably suggest is something like a Case Mate Barely There or an Incipio Feather. Although I haven't checked if they're available yet.

I don't think it's Gorilla glass on this one. Unless Corning is able to make curved Gorilla glass now.
