Root oh my another root thread!

you might want to consider simply running the rooted OTA rom while you research. youll be safe on rooted,current firmware so your phone wont pester you to update,and you can takey our time reading the various rom threads and looking at the screenshots.

make sure you read all the sticky threads,and ask anything youre unsure of or uncomfortable about,its better to ask before you have prollems,rather than after ;)

just take your time with the root process and follow the directions exactly.the manual method is fun and is invalable experience to have for later use :)

just make sure that you understand youll need to flash SOMETHING immediately after. either the rooted OTA rom and radios or some sort of custom rom.

okay just to clarify... i downloaded the rooted ota rom... and im sorta following natemil 2.5 how to root tutorial video. where do i need to flash the rom, because you guys said do it before its reboots so i dont get pestered withhaving to update.... make sens???
 
While rooting your phone, make sure you drink ROOT beer, and not regular beer because the next day you may have to go into hangover recovery mode..... :p
 
I think he was trying to bash you for the grammar/spelling you used in the post prior to that. While rooting there are a few steps that take a while that is just too painfully long if you sit there looking at the computer the whole time so I would encourage you to go drink a beer or smoke a butt if you participate in those types of things......if not it is never too late to start :) Let us know if you have any further questions. And yes you will want to flash a rom first thing so you don't get prompted by an update, so go ahead and have it ready along with the radios that go with the new rom.

when did someone say you needed to flash it before it reboots? you need to complete all 7 steps 100%. as soon as the upgrade RUU finishes booting(step 7) you will skip past the android setup/intro crap so you can put your phone in disc drive mode,and then move the rom you want to flash and/or radio to the sd card.

clockwork recovery is included in the upgrade ruu,so you wont need to get rom manager and flash it. boot directly to it and flash your rom,then boot and swap the rom for the radio,and go to hboot and flash that.

does that make more sense? as soon as the guide is complete,just immediately flash a rom and radio.

lol, no but now I have to go read his prior post to see the grammar/spelling fail..... But I do admit, this reads like all the other root question threads, and I figured he had a "sens" of humor (Ok just read his prior post) based on his thread title....

Well what are you waiting for :p

Once you are ready remember you can get assistance from here as well as other places (XDA IRC channel) IRC is usually quicker than forums but depending on who is online here at the time you may get answers quickly as well.

nothing now since your helping:D
 
Ok so you will need to follow the directions here xda link

Also before trying the push commands after changing the directory do "adb devices" to confirm adb sees your phone
 
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT14KS017498 offline


this is what i got for some reason
 
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT14KS017498 device

ooops forgot to have debugging and disk drive mode on
 
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push psneuter /data/local/
cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file or directory

got this after i put in
adb push psneuter /data/local/
 
so far:

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT14KS017498 device

killing adbd. (should restart in a second or two)

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell

now got this on step 3


C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
#
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>/data/local/busybox md5sum /data/local/mis
c.img
The system cannot find the path specified.
 
And it gave you no md5sum?

If not try to disconnect everything open your windows task manager and close adb.exe then reconnect
