i just got my Shift today...LOVE IT!!

i am planning on rooting it when i get home from work so i can use wireless tether and setCPU...anyone having problems with the permanent root? is the temp root better for now? please advise! :D


**edit see second post**
 
ok i dont know what i'm doing wrong with rooting..but i cant seem to get it...i've done this before with my Hero but its been so long..

i download the SDK from the website and installed all the packages, i downloaded the zip from that site and put the 2 files on the root of the sd card...

i plug in and enable debugger..cmd> cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools >but when i type in adb shell i keep getting 'adb not recognized' what the hell am i doing wrong? lol..

please help!
 
It might be that adb is in a diffrent directory as it is for me. Try going to the top folder of your Android SDK directory and then typing in adb into search if you're on Windows. Then right click on the adb file and chose "open file location". Once there, go up a folder and then shift+right click on the folder and chose "copy as path". Then cmd and cd + paste. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the SDK. Good luck :)
 
Ah!

I go and moderate other forums - what do I get? - behind, that's what! :)

Thanks for the heads up!

I'll check that out, get back if I learn something before somebuddy else answers.

EDIT and PS - which part is giving the heartburn??
