Root [Revised] Rooting Gingerbread 2.3.5 Dummies Guide

well it needs to have enough room so that the stock recovery can write the log. i'm not sure how much room it takes though. it could be really small, but who knows.......its just a thought.

Ok. I will have to delete stuff later. If i do the undo step after rebooting the phone from the triangle screen, will it go back to normal so I can use my phone and do this again at a later time?
 
I have been trying the "recommended version" and I get to step 8 .type in fastboot oem get_identifier_token and it says <waiting for device>
its plugged in and usb debbuged and it doesnt recognize it ... ive waited for it to do somethinng..retried it several times... help
 
Welcome to AF!!!
You are on the HTC website in step 8 I believe?
Are you running that command from your "Android Folder"?
Are you getting any error messages or is it simply not doing anything?
 
i did the initial step to go hboot drive> fastboot> power off... however when i look in my settings the fastboot button is unchecked ...idk if that matters
 
wait no for that step it asked to open>run>cmd then the window pops up and i enter the codes> Prompt: cd c:\Android) then cd \Android the it goes into C:Android n i type fastoboot oem get_identifier_token
then it says waiting for device n does nothing
 
Do you have these 3 files in your Android folder?:
adb.exe
fastboot.exe
AdbWinApi.dll

And when your phone is on the fastboot screen, do the words "fastboot usb" appear in red text?
 
ok got it i was powering the phone off instead of staying in usbfast boot. I have sucessfully unlocked it . which one of the two recovery methods should i use? the flasher or the adb command?
I am ultimately going to flash from sprint to cricket, would appreciate any help you can give

You can use either one...I would suggest the adb method since you have the Android Folder set up already. Just extract the file needed and move it into the Android folder, then run your command:)
