Navigate to where you unzipped the ZIP file and go to the folder you just created (For Example: If you created the folder in C:\Android, then you would type in Command Prompt: cd c:\Android).

Go to that folder, right click on it and one of the options that pops up is "open command window here"....click on that prompt.
Or, go to your start menu, click on start, click on run, then in the window that pops up type in cmd.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i merged the two threads together as they are about the same topic.

now all you need is a recovery and then you can start flashing roms.
 
i put the img in the android folder now what do i do

just follow the steps:

ADB command method
1.download amon ra 2.3 from here:
PC36IMG_RA_2.3.zip
2.extract the file and then go into and move recovery.img file into the android folder you created when unlocking your bootloader.
3.on your phone after you have unlocked your phone you should be in the bootloader menu screen, select the fastboot option
4.on your computer press and hold shift while right clicking the android folder.
5.select open command window here option (windows 7)
6.enter command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
congrats!!!!!! you have just installed amon ra 2.3
 
yeah i got that part do i just turn off my phone or what lol
ok so i merged the two threads together. lets just keep any questions you have on rooting in this thread. commenting on the same question on multiple threads makes it hard to help you.

now to your questions, no the next step says that your phone should be in the bootloader menu. select fastboot. and go from there.
 
android system recovery i have several different options to choose

at the bottom it should say RA supersonic 2.3 or something like that. if you see options in recovery then you can proceed to step 3 of the guide. you can either stay on stock and flash the su file or you can flash a custom rom. in the guide i recommend mikg3.11. it is waaaaaaay better then stock.
 
okay i tell you want i see
reboot system now
usb-ms toggle
backup/restore
flash zip from sdcard
wipe
partition sdcard
mounts
other
power off

what should i choose

NICE!!!!!!!!!! that is amon ra2.3

i would first reboot the phone and then decide what you want to do for step 3 and go from there. it is the first option listed (reboot system now).
