Mike, Did you try factory reset, fix permissions?

What tool are you using?
 
Okay the root worked.......So far. Ugh. It's sketchy IDK. Why was that root package different? I used ZVC root the last time.

he's definitely not using v2. towards the end it should say "rebooting", then "rebooting again" or smtng like that, then "rebooting one more time or want last time" and then its rooted.

I posted the new thread already though

It works. It doesn't work. It works. It doesn't work. UGH. Then I plug in the USB cable and it boots up. WTF?

Not real sure, different root method, I am glad your back up and running :) but I still think you should change your name to fuzzy bear :)
 
Okay so If Im in a boot loop I can plug in the USB and the bastard boots up. O.o
Somethings off............

Did you install the custom and kernel back into your wife phone or left it stock?
 
Security Research by Dan Rosenberg

for those who are having problems with root,

use this method, I have helped a few people and seems this one is the best,

I found that on the interweb ;) and I dont know how I got it

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE exitrecovery on your phone at all times:D

hit the like button if it helps you

That's the ZVC root method, the same one in the latest one-click root. He's the one who got ZVC rooted for us.
 
Nice Guides. Quick and Simple.
Running super smooth, even though its bloated and stock.
Did notice 4G is faster now.
on zvb, it wouldn't go over 500kbs. now im 1-2 mbs.
Not sure if it was the update but im not complaining. :)
 
Haha yeah I might still flash the rom and kernel over vzd just because some guys have done it but I think is best to wait

Yeah be cautious ...see a lot have been diving in head first...had to pm 5 peeps exit recovery allready:eek::thumbdown:
 
also guys and girls, once you get it rooted you can userz cwm or install rom manager and flash recovery from there.
