Hmmm... that one-click root method looks awesome, but since it was only uploaded yesterday I'm a little bit weary of it.
I tried to get that google-usb_driver, but with the sdk r13 it won't let me unless I update to r17. I'm thinking of just going to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and getting the latest sdk r17 exe file & trying to go from there. Only concern is that on the guide here on xda it says "from sdk r14 forward Google removed the fastboot command so I'd have to make the fastboot command myself" -will this be an issue or is that easily done??
(I seriously can't believe I'm running into wall after wall with this.
I REALLY appreciate all the help thus far, by the way)
go to pdanets website, www.junefabrics.com/android , download the free download, install it, open it. follow the onscreen instructions and itll instal the latest driver for you. its the easiest way to get the driver installed.
