Here just for future Reference, if you are able to get root/s-0ff.....here is a good path to follow

Download this

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1058042
(either the side loading or no side loading one, it wont matter since you plan on flashing a custom rom)
-Rename the zip to PD98IMG.zip (it has to be named exactly that)
-place it in the root of your SD card
-reboot to hboot (power volume down)
-dont press anything, it will find the zip, after 3 attempts and ask you if you want to update, volume up to update.

This rom will give you the newest updated radio and OTA updates...that way you have the fast download speeds.


Then download rom manager from the market, go into rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery...reboot your phone (optional, but I've found it helps)...go back into rom manger and reboot into recovery....From there you can (wipe data/facory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, and start flashing your android revolution rom.

Definitely not the only path to follow, but its a nice safe one that will get you what you need. Hope this helps, and Good luck

Thanks.

I tried it again, making sure I did all those things bit it still stopped.
I opened the cmd file and in the section that it got stuffed up:

:soff
tools\win\adb kill-server
tools\win\adb devices >nul
tools\win\adb push tools/soff/gfree /data/local
tools\win\adb push tools/soff/flash_image /data/local
tools\win\adb push tools/soff/recovery.img /data/local/tmp
tools\win\adb push tools/dngrd/psneuter /data/local/tmp
tools\win\adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
tools\win\adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/gfree
tools\win\adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
tools\win\adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
cls
tools\dngrd\sleep 2
tools\win\adb kill-server
tools\win\adb devices >nul
tools\win\adb shell /data/local/gfree -f
tools\win\adb shell sync
tools\win\adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
echo. please wait - booting recovery to patch downgrade ROM Root/Sound/Locale
tools\win\adb reboot recovery
echo
tools\dngrd\sleep 10
echo please wait [[THIS IS WHERE THE PHONE SHOWS THE PHONE WITH A RED ! TRIANGLE]]
tools\dngrd\sleep 10
tools\win\adb kill-server [[THE COMMANDS AFTER THIS JUST SHOW ERRORS]]
tools\win\adb devices >nul
tools\win\adb push tools/afr/boot.img /tmp
tools\win\adb shell flash_image boot /tmp/boot.img
tools\win\adb shell mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
tools\win\adb shell mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
tools\win\adb shell rm -R /data/*
tools\win\adb shell rm -R /system/customize
tools\win\adb push tools/afr/system /system
tools\win\adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
tools\win\adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
tools\win\adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/RomManager.apk
tools\win\adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
tools\win\adb shell sync
tools\win\adb reboot
goto :EOF

And then it goes back to the main menu.

EDIT1: vol down + power goes into hboot, and then at the top it shows:

ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0019
MICROP-0438

Did you try formatting your SD card first, not a quick format, but a full format..I know it takes like a half hour or so to format....If so, then you will probably need to get help from attn1.....Here is the link for his irc channel, but he probably wont be there till tomorrow....also try posting your problem in the hack kit thread in the dev forum....

Hopefully someone else can step in and fix your problem.....

Hello, I ended up using Bubby's One Click GUI, and it is great, I'm in the process of rooting and its working well. After this would I be able to flash Android Revolution 4G and some themes?

Yes you can...you should be all set to go!!

So does that mean I don't need to load a rom into the romzip folder of the ace hack kit before I start this process?

I plan on going with the LeeDrOiD rom, but do I put it in the ace kit? Or flash it from the sdcard after I finish the ace hack kit?

My romzip folder in the ace kit just has the text file saying "put-rom.zip-here.txt"

I have my goldcard img in the gcimg folder.

I have been reading thru numerous threads in preparation for the process, but the more I read the more intense it gets. It went from "just rooting and flashing a rom" to now trying to figure out the whole rom/radio/Ril/kernel upgrade/compatibility mix...

The ace hack kit is very straight forward. load the rom afterwards with cwm. make sure your SD card is formatted the right way. Then run the cmd program and follow the instructions via the effen manual.

You can put the LeeDroid rom in the romzip folder or flash it in recovery after you finish the hack kit. I tend to go the simple route and flash a new rom in recovery after it's rooted.

No, you don't need to load the rom there. You need to downgrade first. Then after that you can flash a rom
