maybe a mod could change the title of that "stop asking" post, since every single time it's posted, the disclaimer has to be added?

though i'm guessing if that could've been done it would've been already, so maybe there's a timeframe on changing posts or something and my comment here is completely worthless :)

I got the the phone installed and setup in the device manager under pc mode...

I am at step 5 and dont understand how to Run "adb devices" in the command prompt... I do this and it tells me that the adb is not recognized as an internal or external command

what do I do from here...

i am not a computer novice, but they should write these instructions a litlte more clearly...

^^^ Yessur!

ok is there a step by step guide on how to root my X.will a ps3 hook up to the phone. yes I'm new but I want the hotspot. I got someone to do my omnia I had and loved it.

I've never tried to hook up my ps3 but i don't see why it wouldn't work....it would use a ****load of data tho and you may get caught by vzw so be careful with that.

The only folder I have is the droidxroot_v2 folder... it does not say anything about the sdk folder in the instructions... and its in the C:\droidxroot_v2

And neither is your problem. What operating system? Do you have the SDK installed? Is the SDK in your PATH?

Answering those will help to answer your initial question.

yes I have SDK installed and its in the path..

I got this part to work, but when I try to push the superuse apk to the sdcard, i get an acccess denied issue..

does this have to be in pc mode or can you do it in usb mass starage mode too?

When in pc mode I get no devices listed, in mass storage mode I get the device listed...

Do you have "USB Debugging" on the device enabled?
