USB driver download (All are the same):
Tip: For best results use USB ports in the back of the computer.
- Download Auto root

- Open TB_Auto_root Folder
- Double click Start unroot
- Follow prompted directions carefully
Auto root:
Auto Root Alpha Version 2.1
- If you have not done so download Auto Root above
- Download Auto Root Alpha Version 2.1 (should take 30seconds)
- Place the START_ROOT_V2.1 batch file in the TB auto root folder
- Activate debugging mode and stay awake (below USB debugging)
- Set the phone to Charge only
- Open TB_Auto_root Folder

Auto Root Alpha Version 2.1 Download:
ADB replacement files Download:
- Download and unzip file
- Place the conent of the folder; 3 files, in the Tb auto root folder...only the 3 files not the whole folder, this will replace the 3 old files
TIP:
Remember the following:
- HTC sync installed
- Use USB ports in the back of the computer(adb only officially supports the first primary USB port -- these are all in the back of the computer, and slower/older computers often have problems using a different one)
- Activate debugging mode and stay awake (below USB debugging)
- Phone in charge only mode
- When the process looks like its hanging its actually writing the file to your sd card so be patient
- READ the directions carefully.
- After root is done restart the phone.
