Root Unable to root - please help

Thanks Rasta

I've done this, as you said - and the screen just goes black.

Oh ok, I've got it, now I can use the trackpad, not the power key, to select. Doh.

Just putting this in case other people are using this thread for help later on.

this is just a backup of the ROM, yes?

haha. I love the way your posts show the narrative of your thought process.

Yep, I have got about the power button / trackball thing in the FAQ too.

Sorry - me again. is it usual that my phone just keeps having the HTC logo on and keeps trying to boot and doesn't seem to get past that screen??

Is this after the backup? If so, you have to go back into recovery and restore the same backup. known issue.

I can't seem to get to the stage where I can even get into recovery....!! Might have to pull the battery...

 

[SUroot]

You will have to pull the battery out
