Root No root method on 621 yet?

I am now a Milestone...;) All settings on phone the same, data everything, only diff is it says milestone, amungst some other different stuff in the about phone section. Now, to root, do I need to still run through Ubuntu, or can I run the zip on windows? Seems to not want to run in Ubuntu..
 
Seems to not want to take Z4root.. keeps force closing after about 30 seconds.... when I try it again the program won't run. (APK program from phone.) I tried the install froma a computer and that didn't work either. After it fails it botches things up to where a factory reset only through the recovery will work, force closes when u try to do it though the phone program... will try and re-sbf later and see if that helps, unless any ideas... I followed all directions with the settings and so forth so I confused not.. So close to being rooted again..
 
z4root does not work on Gingerbread. There should be some other root method in those threads (I forget what it is called).
 
From what I gathered .. it was included in the tw:)o files download in this thread..it was in the file as a zip. DooMLoRd v4 was what was said to work.lol.. at least I thought so..I will re read..:confused:
 
Oh ok.... well, I originally used the one in the file, named Doomlord... when I installed it it was called z4.... I'm trying rooting with Gingerbreak APK now... since the build is 604, will post back if that works..
 
I had to reSBF .621 and then SBF .604 before I could root .604. Don't know why but it worked. If Zerg isn't working, you may want to try that.
 
Thankyou very much.... now that I am reading a bit more, I think I might of realized something....

I took the OTA to .621...without waiting a few days first like an idiot.

then ran the Milestone SBF method thru Ubunto.

I am on Milestone successfully. Root is not working though.

From what it sounds like, I should of re-SBF'd to .621, even though I was already on it? If so, is that why the root isn't taking?

Because the z4 root is saying it cannot find the path specified about 50 times.

Should I SBF to .621 and then do the process over again?
 
It's strange because I am using the z4 root, thru the pc, and it acts like it wants to work, but says it cannot find the path..
