What exactly do you mean unblock? And you mean create a shortcut right?

No do not create a shortcut just move files to desktop
When u go to ur download folder ...right click on file. Go to properties, asmall window will open , on the bottom left it will say unblock hit on it.
Size should be 726.37mb exact.

Ooooo OK I wasn't sure what you meant I'll give that a try
**Update**
OK I unblocked them and did as you said still same result I truly don't understand this right now, I tried multiple time and cycled through different solutions that have worked in the past and all a dead end 😢😱😞

The purpose of a custom recovery is to be able to flash custom ROMS, kernels, make backups of your current ROM and restore it, being able to flash different .zip files on your phone. Also being able to boot into recovery could save you a lot of frustration if you find yourself in a jam bootloops, bad flashes etc.
Thanks. However the reason I rooted my phone was to free up space on my internal memory which is only 1.27 GB. I wanted to be able to move apps to my sd card. However after rooting I still that it still moves it to an emulated sd card which is still on my internal memory. I am using AppMgr III. Can you please help.
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks for the help Trevor! I used the root method you posted here for the 10i firmware then installed rootkeeper and followed gametheory's instructions and did the OTA update to 12b. My phone is still rooted and the camera is working properly again. The only problem im having now is that when i installed wifi tether it doesnt work right. Any ideas?

My WiFi Tether installation got "screwed up". I Wiped Cache/Data, uninstalled, and reinstalled and it worked again.
Has anyone managed to root this phone without downgrading to 10i yet? I sure hope so! Hate to basically factory reset and lose all the settings I spent 8hrs putting together...
This is a pretty decent phone for the price but it's completely eff'd it has so little onboard storage space. I don't even use many apps and in one day I'm down to <500mb left and that's after putting whatever I can on the SD card

You can always try Kingo but it doesn't seem to work for some
I'd like to say it worked but my buddies Windoze laptop is such a POS I couldn't take it. I'm a Linux SysAdmin and haven't used M$ products for almost 15 yrs. I'll ask one of the M$ geeks at work to deal with it. (think hundreds of popups from whatever malware he's installed, sluggishness, locking up, refusing to download software, etc etc)
Thanks brother, this solved my headache. I unplugged, replugged and double tapped and BOOOOM!! The root started.

@Trevor
Have you tested this on your phone?
Did you test it works? I suggested it another thread but no one has come forward to confirm.Updated with a newer and easier 12B Rooting Method

Some users have confirmed it works in my Dm's, i personally haven't used it because i have so many rooting mods on my phone that i may have to reset everything after disabling root, If it's about trust.. you can trust this guy, just google geohot and bam, hell, he even has his own wikipedia page lol
