SOLUTION!: V0.2 was the culprit. Using v0.1 I had no issues whatsoever. Here's a link to a thread where Graymonkey44 provided the older version: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25187343&postcount=762

1. All files in same location as adb/fastboot.
2. Unlocked and rooted
3. USB debugging on
4. SD card is brand new, formatted and mounted.
5. ControlBear was run as admin.

Am I missing something? I see I'm not the only one with this problem, but I haven't seen a solution yet.

Update: Shutting off HTC Sync (I didn't even realize it was running...) Shortened the result to this:

Good Luck!

Cmon, I know more people are having this problem... And there has to be a solution.
Reflashed recovery, reformatted sd card, no change.
Anybody?

Just a suggestion did you try reformatting the SD card and trying the program again?

Yep....worked first try with v.0.1 . I was still on GB but luckily i downloaded the file last night just incase something like this happened.

Here is the v.01 Gingerbread zip just incase someone else needs it.

I was having issues to begin with where it would keep saying do wire trick now, but I realized I didn't have enough wire stripped back. Once I stripped more back and it made contact I got it first try. Just tap it to ground, count a quick 1...2 and tap it again. Good luck.

Keep trying you just need to time the wire trick better. Keep the phone upside down and wait till the program say to do the wire trick. Some people say to keep the wire in the first hole and as soon as it prompts then push down the ground and count about 2 seconds and it should work. It's all about timing. Took me a few trys too.
