So go for it. The script works great. Keep in mind that the superuser icon isn't the usual one eyed android, its got a # icon now. Confused me at first
I really feel like I'm an idiot I rooted my Huawei ascend one no prob like 3 years ago lol but this is way different and you might have done this but can I get a clear walk though I have Adb tools and the driver didnt work and I can't open the command promp with shift and right click? ...... Ya I know, :/ can anyone help.

Which drivers didn't work? Could you explain what you've tried and where you're having trouble? Have you tried all of the drivers on this thread?

ahhhh...i just used the universal drivers and used the bat file included with motochopper.....
..new phone rooted...on camera (ptp) ...... WOOOOOOOOOO!
before this is i tried OneClickRoot...because it was reported as being a successful root..but, after trying it in media and camera it was a bust for me .... and i had to use my pc...
i installed the SDK stuff on my laptop and tried it on there for a hour or two and was plagued by ADB errors ( i.e. ... out of date..old...and adb fixer was just another annoyance) and problems with more than one program loading while i was trying to use the cmd's in the motochopper folder.
i tried using port cmd's to find the other prog that was loading at the same time.but, i'm not that smart and could'nt figure it out..
but, i did it........now...what am i gonna do with my old ADMIRE running OA? that's the question.

If you installed everything correctly and updated api in sdk then I think ur on the part where you run run.bat and root it.
Make sure USB debugging is enabled?
Check adb devices in cmd prompt. If you see your phone listed it should work.

How?

this is a one click root
If you have SDK installed, you can also try pushing the files manually. But first, CHECK AND SEE if your PC is even connected with your phone:
If using XP:
Click on Start menu
Click 'Run...'
Type CMD, hit enter
DOS prompt will come up. (Black screen, white letters)
Type 'adb devices' and hit enter
You should see "List of ADB devices attached", followed by a device address that looks like M931-********
If you don't see your device there, download some different drivers or try another USB cable cuz Mchopper won't work if it can't communicate with, or even see your phone.
I rooted my M931 with a 6 year old garbage XP system, should work on yours too LOL

that error is because you didnt extract the zip
Nothing is still in a .zip file

if you extracted it, you would not have adb as an unknown command
Ok walk me though it then cause I'm assuming that your talking about the motochopper zip and I wouldn't be able to see "run. MS-batch file" and click on it or are you talking about another zip file?

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/Stock-Premia.4g-Recovery.img
and i can begin work on cwm. since huawei now has a bootload unlock site and i guess a few other their other phones have locked bootloader no promises. but i will give it a whirl
Hello have you made any progress with cwm, I appreciate your work
thank you

you need to extract the whole zip then run the script not just open the zip up
Hello have you made any progress with cwm, I appreciate your work
cwm is a risky subject, your bootloader could be lockled and as such if someone flashed a test build it will break their phone. i dont have a tester willing to try that yet so...
