And in the terminal emulator when i enter "chmod 777 rage" it keeps saying unable to chmod:no such file in directory.Can anyone tell me what is wrong or at least point me in the right direction? I downloaded dorootwin 2.4.1 and it is on my sd card is that my problem?

Are you just typing rage or rage*.bin?

Make sure you are issuing the chmod from within the /tmp directory. Et cd /tmp then chmod. I just wrote these inst in script format today and the work great. Both root and unroot.

No,I was just typing rage.from what I understood from reading the things following an asterick were optional,I may have misread.ok I will try that.thank you guys for the feedback.




edit.cp /tmp chmod 777 rage worked,do i type cp /tmp or cd /tmp before ./rage?

I have typed both cp/ tmp and cd/tmp before. /rage and have gotten no where.I am sorry this is my first attempt at rooting.

When it says the lines with * are optional it means the lines that begin with * instead of -.

- cd /tmp
- cp /sdcard/rage*.bin /tmp/
- chmod 777 rage*.bin
- ./rage*.bin

Pay attention to spaces.

 

[Kendroid24]

Ah,I did misread,thank you for pointing that out.I was wondering what was wrong.When i only type ./rage*.bin and hit enter it says "./rage*.bin: not found"

Also when I space after cp /sdcard/rage*.bin and before /tmp/
I get a no such file in dirertory message.

Yes all the files are in the folder. I assume you downloaded it on your computer, not your phone. It will not run from the phone.

If on your computer,
1. unzip the file you downloaded
2. hook your phone up to computer
3. Pull down notification bar
4. choose "usb connections"
5. choose PC Mode
6. on the phone hit your home button
7. choose settings>applications>Development> and make sure USB debugging is checked
8. now open the unzipped folder and double click on doroot.bat

I have heard that you mingt have to run it two or three times, but maybe it will work for you the first try.

For some strange reason I thought you were using the method from THIS thread.
