does anyone know what to do? using revolutionary and im stuck at the first step... beta key was correct and it says zerging root... this may take a minute or so... and it has been like that for like 20 minutes....??
 
is you debugging on or off? turn your anti-virus off. make sure that htc sync is uninstalled. and did you installed the fastboot drivers?

and you have your phone set to charge? not disk drive?
while revolutionary is running check your debugging, somebody said that it turned off somehow during the process and as soon as he turned it on it worked.

try and start all over again. redownload revolutionary and see if it will work. some people have tried many time before it ran through.

also forgot to ask if you did a factory reset or if you formatted your card or not?

Nope... Trying to preserve data... Lol I was hoping that wasn't the problem.. It said it wasn't required just optional.. Do u know if anyone has done it without the reset?

yeah i added that step in later becuase some people were having issues like this. i know that it has helped some people, but others it did not. that is why i left it as optional. up to you though. but i'm running out of ideas.

have you tried it on another computer yet? other than wiping the phone, i'm not sure. you can go to the revolutionary website and go to their irc channel and ask them. also remember this is not necessarily the final product. there is still work they are doing to improve it.
