Take a screenshot of where you have Pete's Root tools and of what is inside.

It looks like it can't find ADB, but if it's still setup correctly, then I'll just have you install the SDK and add the platform-tools directory to your PATH variable.

I posted on the other thread but I will put it here. You might need to install the latest microsoft.net framework. Download, install and try again.

Download .NET for: Desktop, Server & Development | Microsoft .NET Framework

i extracted petes tools to a new folder on my desktop. It extracted Support_Files and Pete's Motorola root tools.exe

Sorry screenshot not working

Try snipping tool to take snap shot.

Do this and try it again:

What Is ADB And How To Install It With Android SDK

 

[rovrhys]

I have to have sdk/adb to use this root method?

Screenshot of the folder that I extracted everything to.

did you try and install the microsoft.net framework? Do you sdk installed?

 

[rovrhys]

yeah I installed the framework. no i havent installed sdk yet

 

[johnlgalt]

befor you install the SDK....

I replied in the other thread. Thanks for creating a new thread I'll link to it in that one and let's keep the discussion here.

 

[rovrhys]

thanks man ill try the new cord and then the other computer and report back

 

[rovrhys]

new cord and different computer did not work. Same exception.

 

[johnlgalt]

In that case I highly recommend that you go the manual route. At this point all you are missing is the ABD interface, which comes with the Android SDK.

I used the manual route as opposed to the one click methods, and I'm rooted perfectly fine.

 

[rovrhys]

ok will do. is their a guide on what commands to push? like for the OG droid?

 

[johnlgalt]

I used this page: Root OTA GingerBread!!! And any other Motorola Device for that matter...

Worked like a charm.
