I don't know the answer to your problem, but I assume you just want Root. If that is the case, I suggest you to re-lock your bootloader and use Gingerbreak, since you don't gain any advantage of unlocking your bootloader if you just want Root

DONATE TO ME
Since you already have your bootloader unlocked, you'd do better flashing Doomlord's kernel, which roots your phone by itself, instead of downloading a huge system.img. Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1176502

And by the way, I assume you're having issues with fastboot not being recognized as an executable, blah, blah, blah?

Spanish site for Tizen, Ubuntu Touch, Firefox OS, and other free mobile OS.

This part:\Tom Revell>fastboot\ looks wrong to me, i'm at work now so can't really check.
But does it work if you go to the folder where you saved fastboot and then somewhere in the folder, as long as it is not on an icon, press shift + right mouse click > open command window here and then only type fastboot flash system play_modded.img ?

make sure play_modded.img is in the same folder as fastboot.exe
