Root Need some help...

Issue the following command:
Code: 
fastboot reboot-bootloader
It's definitely part of the step that you're following.
 
OK I'm confused what do i do? i started to follow adam's directions ,but you are telling me something else. right now my phone is off and disconnected WHAT DO I DO FROM THAT STEP?
 
Now that your phone is off, hold the volume-down button and press the power button to turn the phone on. It will boot to your HBOOT. Connect the USB cable. Verify that your bootloader says UNLOCKED at the top, and that it says "fastboot USB". From there, flash the firmware update file (step two).

If it does not say UNLOCKED, you will need to do the fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin step, then do step two.
 
Ok I don't have harmonia on the sd card hence why I was trying to do the steps thing.. What do I do then? If I choose reboot now from my sd card it tells me "You are currently in safe mode. That means that some of your internal partitions are not acceptable. Please wipe all partitions and then reboot recovery." Can I just continue his steps except flash Mobster again and do your steps?
 
Sorry Here check my post I was confused on who to follow so read my previous post please and then the question should I do that?
 
Well then I guess I'll just order a replacement I have no clue on what i'm doing and I'm afraid of bricking my phone. It is fine if you don't want to help...
 
If you'll read this thread you'll find explicit instructions in my responses. To say I "don't want to help" is erroneous - how am I to help you if you're attempting several things at once?
 
I was trying to get out the situation and reflash mobster's rom so then i could follow your steps get harmonia on my sd flash it and I think i would be good to go. The thing is I misread adam's post and started doing what he said not thinking that I don't have harmonia on my sd. then you were posting what to do ,but I was way far behind and needed to catch up....
 
Thanks to adam all I had to do was drag harmonia to the roms folder on my sd card then install it from there. Thank you all for your help ,but remanifest with all due respect what were you telling me to do?
 
If you're S-Off and you need to run the RUU but you haven't yet then just run it. Your Bootloader needs to be locked before you run it anyways. You just need to be on the stock Bootloader before you can run the RUU.

Everyone has different ways to help someone. Sometimes one persons fix will work and other times it won't. He was trying to help you run the RUU and return you to fully stock to update firmware profile and PRL on a complete stock rom then reinstall custom recovery and change the hboot and install any ROM you want then and have profit. Usually running the RUU will solve 99% of your issues as to just updating profile and stuff in Harmonia may only work for some ppl. Adam said that if using Harmonia wouldn't boot or let you update stuff in the setting then you'd have no choice but to RUU. Remanifest probably figured it's just easier to use the RUU and usually it is easier and throws less errors since your S-Off.

Ignore my post before this I couldn't read the 2nd page.
 
FYI
If you are soff...

There is no need to lock/unlock boot loader in the ruu process

The easiest way is to run the ruu as a pg86img.zip

Once it is done you are completely stock, except you will still be s off.

Now that you are stock, run all updates.
Update software 2x
Update Prl
Update Profile

Now make sure android debugging is enabled

Flash your recovery through Adb

Boot into recovery

Flash super user or a custom ROM to gain root

You are done
