Problams and solution while rooting

---

It might seem a bit stupid, but maybe others will encounter one of this issues and it will help them. your more than welcome at add to this.

P: computer wont recognize device in debug mode. instead it recognizes "android 1.0" or something else.
S: download HTC sync. it contains the proper drivers.

P: while activating the *.bat file you get the erroe "adb out of date...killing". the script will run all the way, but root access wont be given.
s: you need to close all adb processes from task manager, and the htcsync process as well (on PC)! also, you need to reflash the img file, and try rooting again.

HTC SYNC

after 10 attempts at ROOT, I found this tread. It is CRITICAL that you stop the HTCSync process on you PC or root will not work!

HTC Sync on the tab or on the pc? I killed it on the tab through the running applications. To kill adb processes just close the command window on the pc.

you need to kill it on the PC.

Ok so noob question of the day!

Where are you supposed to input the commands (such as adb reboot bootloader) to start the kernel flash process? I tried in cmd as well as terminal emulator on the tablet with no luck, what am I missing here?

you should have ADB in your c:\android folder, or wherever your sdk is installed.
Do a search for adb with your pc to find out where you installed it.

then using the command prompt under start> programs> accessories> command prompt, go to the corrected directory that ADB is in.

to go to C:\android, for example, type " cd c:\android "
Then you would execute the adb commands, (example: adb reboot bootloader)

Go to youtube and search for a 'how to use ADB' tutorial.

I'm having difficulty hotbooting the insecure kernel.

I've uninstalled HTC Sync on my PC, and I've downloaded the insecure kernel to my SD card's root directory.

I have no problem rebooting the bootloader via adb, and my device is detected. However, when I try to hotboot the kernel, I routinely get a "cannot load" response. I'm typing in "fastboot boot [filename].img."

Suggestions?

Many thanks.

the insecure kernel shouldn't go to the SD card. only the wifi module should.
the *.img file should go to the adb\tools directory,
(maybe you can put it anywhere else and just write the full path while flashing, i'm not sure. i just copy this files to the tools directory and flash them from there. easiest way)

the flash command flashes the file from the directory on the computer to the device.

Thanks very much!

I'm sitting here laughing to myself because I'd tried changing the path in the command to a couple of places I'd placed the insecure kernel in my PC; the c: root directory and a directory I'd created to house downloaded Jetstream files. Obviously, neither worked.

Placing it in the adb\tools directory makes complete sense.

By the way, your mention of the "wifi module" sent me back to DooMLoRD's kernel thread. I see that you flashed the kernel and related wifi module on 1/4. Like others who posted, are you pleased with the kernel?

Thanks, again!

The kernel seems very nice and almost no one complaind.
