About
The WinDroid Toolkit is a Windows program built in Visual Studio using the C# programming language that simplifies the rooting process for many Android devices. The toolkit makes it easy to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and gain permanent root. It also includes other functions such as flashing kernels, pushing files and installing apps. If you find it helpful, give me a thanks and a donation if you can. If you find a bug or have a feature request, feel free to leave a reply. Thanks!

I don't own this phone, but the Setup tab should work correctly. If someone could confirm that everything is working, that would be great! :)

I don't feel like undoing all my hard work on my rezound, but my father in law bought a rezound just so he could hack it up and try some stuff out. This will be brilliant for him as he is not that comfortable with the process. If I can finally talk him into taking the dive I will certainly try it out as soon as I can.

Yeah, I was going to do something similar when I finish the guide in the second post. Either virtual machine or WUBI, which can be easier for some people.

From what I've read any USB version of Linux won't work...has to be a live CD or installed on pc

Edit...I can't confirm virtual machine though as idk if that method will work

WUBI isn't USB based. It installs Ubuntu alongside Windows, and allows you to uninstall it from Windows itself. I personally use it, and it seems to act as a full installation, so it almost surely works for S-OFF.

Just use Linux Live USB. Boot any Linux based OS from a flash drive. You can dual boot or overwrite entirely. I actually repaired a teachers laptop that way. The Windows OS was fried so I replaced it with Linux Mint.

S-off method won't work on Linux USB as far as I know and have been told....has to use your computer somehow directly and not through an external device....a live CD uses it directly where as a flash drive doesn't

It sets it up as a live USB, and from there you can fully install or not. It's the same as a live disk, except that some (really) old computers won't boot from USB. The feature was added to recent desktops and laptops as an emergency repair tool, but works perfectly for Linux booting.

You are booting into a full Linux installation, I don't understand how you couldn't obtain S-Off that way.

I guess if you don't install, there may be a chance of losing unsaved data, but if you lose data on a flash drive, you will lose it on a disk.

My craptop was dual-boot Linux Mint, and I did all my ROM building for myself on it.

i know what your trying to get at...a flash drive uses different methods to boot a live iso file than an actual disc...its technically like using ubcd as a rescue tool where it runs of your ram instead of hard drive....i am a linux developer and have made quite a few of my own distro's....i'm just stating that not just one or 2 but many have had issues obtaining s-off from a virtual machine or usb drive as it causes certain errors and cause soft bricks...im writing up a very easy method to do all this thats very painless for even the novice computer users....i may even make a disc that boots directly for s-off for the rezound....sorta how motorola droid x's had the live bootable sbf method

When is the help section coming?

Also what exactly is this program trying to download to my system directory when it starts up?

I'm working on a large update soon, at which point the guide will be updated.

It needs to download the necessary ADB and Fastboot files (adb,exe, fastboot.exe, AdbWinUsb.dll, and one other I can't remember). Nothing sketchy or virus-y. ;) The next update won't require this download, as they will be built-in to the toolkit.

I second this. It would allow full fastboot+adb operations.

EDIT:

Wow didnt realize how old that post was. Thats what I get for not letting a page fully load. LOL
