[Q] !SOLVED! Need Root but work computer won't allow Rage to run!

---

Hey guys I'm on vacation and bricked my phone.... Grrr.. But I got it back with the unbrick. Bad news is the only computer I have won't allow me to run rage because my work computer thinks the rage bin is a virus and auto deletes it. I can not disable the virus protection. Is there any way to root without access to a computer?
I've been using my phone as an AP for my family to use and also for work related purposes so I need my root back ASAP!!
Thanks guys!

sure just use odin to flash a voodoo kernel. no pit needed, it goes in the pda slot.

the kernel will push root on first boot. and you get lagfix back and sound enhancements. its that easy.

Awesome! Now the kernel is a .zip, should i rename the extension?

there shuld be an odin version of the comunity kenrel, you need to extract the package and in the .tar is inside the zip.

alternatively if you have the cwm kernel already then you can extract the contents, find the zimage file(that's the actual kernel) in either the kenrel folder or updates folder, take that zimage and archive it as a .tar in a program like 7zip the .tar archive should not have compression and should only contain the zimage file.

also depending on what package you used it may be rooted already. try to install superuser from the market before flashing anything. that may be all you need as many of gtg's packages already have su binaries installed. if this is the case then you can flash a custom kernel with sgskernel flasher which will find the zimage inside the .zip and ignore all the other contents, as long as the file extension matches the archive it will figure the rest out.

I tried adding the ximage to a .tar and flashing through odin, but got the phone >!> pc thing... I reflashed to stock... I am now trying to flash stock with the zimage in the phone slot in hope is to flash stock with the rooted kernel.
superuser did not take either.

One final question, can you link me to the community odin version? I can't seem to find it anywhere.. unless im looking in the wrong place

odin keeps getting stuck at the zimage process

crap. are you an administrator? sometimes it seems to help running odin "as administrator"

odin is sometimes wierd and may take a few attempts to flash. i dont have an esxplaination for this but it happens.

are you using the infuse.pit PIT file? it may help if something got screwed up (maybe not help but it couldnt hurt)

I am admin :P
ODIN seems pretty buggy to me.. I am trying to flash back to stock again then flash the kernel overtop of that... ODIN is giving me trouble going back to stock now, but i think this time it looks like its actually working (hopefully!)
Lets hope this works! Stock infuse SuCkS!

I'll let you know what happens in a few minutes!
THANKS!

best bet for a phone!computer screen is just a full flash with the pit file in place.

the pit should not be used to flash only the kernel! just the .tar goes in the pda slot, nothing else!

Got the stock to boot, flashed the kernel and I'm hearing the famous robot voice telling me the eta on the partition conversions
Sounds like it should work from here!!
Thanks so much for your help! (I clicked the Thanks button on every post you wrote me )
