I'm in the same boat...experienced Linux user but new to android. O think the latest root uses the current firmware version.

So once u root and flash recovery, is it possible to go back to stock if needed for some reason?

Where do we put these files? actually in the platform-tools folder? i am asuming push means to transfer to ur device.




Now, you will need to push the misc.img, busybox, and psneuter by using the following below commands:

• Adb push psneuter /data/local/
• Adb push busybox/data/local
• Adb push misc.img/data/local
• Adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/psneuter
• Adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox

i ended up making a folder for exploits. copy the directory name for example C:\Users\steven\Desktop\exploits and on adb type cd then paste your directory. so mine looked like this
cd C:\Users\steven\Desktop\exploits
or you can unzip the files to your adb folder but i couldnt get that to work

I rooted today. took me about 3 hours front to back, but I probably wasted at least an hour and a half by speeding throught eh directions and having to go back when it didn't work right (I flashed the wrong image during Step #4) but it ended up working out and I am rooted & loving it!

Utterly stupid question but might as well ask LOL. Coming from a rooted D1, and used to SPR... How do you flash without having a recovery in place? I know it's probably obvious when you're in process, but I would rather be sure of myself first.

I've been... THUNDERSTRUCK!

The files you download are RUU files that can be flashed through stock recovery. Then you push the necessary files through adb... If you have experience with adb the instructions posted are extremely easy to follow ... Took me around 30 to complete due to the length of time the RUU installs took.

yea but some of us dont know anything about adb:icon_eek:. if i could get adb on my computer and figure out how to use it the rest looks straight forward.

If you don't know much about ADB I would do some homework on how to use it. The instructions on how to make your phone work with ADB are the same as many other HTC phones and can be found at

public:windows_hboot_driver_install [RootWiki]

If you have never used ADB before you use it from the command prompt (I assume you are using Windows?)

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/6865-how-use-adb-all-commands-options.html

Check that out for some support on how to use ADB.

Make sure you are comfortable using ADB before attempting root or wait until someone releases a one-click method.. I would hate for you to end up with a $600 paperweight. :icon_eek:

For some reason I cannot get adb to recognize my device. I've never had this problem with my droid, I used the link above and nothing, sdk drivers and nothing, the standard stock driver and nothing.
