Root Help: idiot stuck between S-off & SU!

[pasternak]

I'm a novice. And this is my first post here. I just went the s-off route and I think I screwed up. My phone is sitting in the blue "Revolutionary" state. "Reboot system now" is the first item on the menu. My phone is not available as a drive on my (win7) PC. And I failed to put su-2.3.6.3 etc on my sd card. I just want SU and move on. Any idea how I get out of this predicament? I should add that I do have a SD Card reader, if that helps any. I'm feeling a little tense about this. Hope to get some advice here fairly soon. Thanks a bunch!

I'm pretty much a newbie just like you .. Here's what I found last night when I "rooted" my 3d.

Once the revolutionary tool runs, at the boot screen, you're S-OFF. That means you can flash stuff.

The revolutionary is the recovery image. You're golden. Reboot, copy the su to the SD card. Then turn OFF fastboot, turn off the phone, vol-down + power to get back into the hboot, go into recovery, flash the su zip file and you'll then have root.

But before you do any of that, you should go into the recovery and BACK UP your phone.

I then installed the busybox app from the market (not the installer, but just the busybox) and it asked for my permissions to install busybox.
