device ?????????????????????
Then you need to upgrade drivers.

Drivers UpGrade

Plug phone and in Control Panel / System / Device Manager remove semc drivers. UnPlug / RePlug phone it will start search for new drivers if you have follow first red typed text it should find new drivers and install them. And phone should be visible with FlashTool.

LAST WARNING FOR ALL PEOPLE --- DO NOT USE OPTIMIZE FUNCTION IN FLASHTOOL AFTER UPGRADE. BECOUSE OPTIMIZE FUNCTION USES PRE-BUILD BUILD.PROP FILE FROM ANDROID 2.1 AND IT WILL BREAK YOUR OS BOOTING. BUT IF YOU HAVE INSTALL XRECOVERY AND THEN DONE OPTIMIZE U CAN TRY USE THIS >> FlashTool_Optimize_FiX_xRecovery << OR un-tested method using batch script >> FlashTool_Optimize_FiX_Manual <<.

try to connect in flash mode when reboot happens by holding on back key when reboot happens, again to upgrade kernel

unplug. power on .plug cable again. root. power off. flash again
good luck

it works!

and looking at the files posted by aZuZu i can tell u that this will work on ALL BRANDED/GENERIC/REGIONAL 2.3.3 GB FWs... provided that the kernel.sin file remains same (which it will for all 3.0.1.G.0.75 FW)...

but the steps are not correct

u need to do this:

FOR ROOTING

1. make sure u are on stock 2.3.3 FW
2. enable Unknown Sources & USB debugging in Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources & Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging
3. power down device
4. Flash -- Kernel downgrade ... [ Leave FlashTool running] --
5. remove usb cable
6. Power on device
7. immediately connect usb cable
8. Wait till you see any info in FlashTool, then click root.
9. After root reboot is done
10. pull out battery and wait for few mins
11. enter flash mode. and
12. Flash -- Kernel upgrade.
13. Power on your phone and phone will be rooted.

@aZuZu
great work aZuZu

now u can remove the [REQUEST] & [TESTING] tags

Will come in handy when UK Generic rolls out.

Apparently each regions frimware is optimised for that particular region.

Hi everybody!
First of all thanks for the big effort

Can anyone please tell me if once this root procedure has been successfully completed it will be now possible to install xRecovery 0.3 as usual (the same of 2.1)?

Many thanks!
