That means that the actual motofail file is not in the current directory from where you are running run.bat. This is what I think you should do:

- unzip the Motofail_windows.zip file
- create a directory on your c: drive called c:\motofail
- copy the files from the folder unziped to the c:\motofail folder
- start a windows command prompt (start button, type cmd, press enter)
- in the command prompt window, enter the command cd \motofail
- enter the command run.bat

That should do it...

Do you have USB debugging enabled on the phone?

Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging - check that box. Then try again.

Try and re-download the motofail program. The file might be corrupt

hello everyone. im having a strange issue. i have safestrap v3 installed and have two roms installed using the safestrap v3 slots. anyway when im on steeldroid 4.8 everything works great except the wifi. the wifi connects to my router and stays connected with a strong signal but the wifi doesnt work. it works for when i first connect it but very slow and after using it for a few minutes it just stops working and whatever app im in reports no network. now if i switch over to hashcodes cm10 the wifi works flawesly. i wanted steeldroid so i could have a stable rom but if the wifi doesnt work then i cant use the rom. does anyone know what is going on with the wifi in steeldroid?
