Eugene, I noticed while the loop was running, I chose recovery, and on one instance, I saw an offline device, but then subsequent loop commands, it stopped listing them. Also, it is still not clear what to do on Step 8. Most of us only see an image in recovery, no menus.

With no menus, anyone know how to reboot the phone in recovery other than removing the battery?

Sorry, I am assuming that people know there way around stuff. You hit Volume up + Power to show the Menu Options..

If Adb show a Device then it's gone, you have to Power down, and reboot into HBoot, Run loop again right before entering recovery..

I Uploaded the Wrong File... Updating it now with the correct update to root the slide..

*EDIT*****
okay correct file now Post in OP for Rooting

@Everyone

Re-Download the File... I made an error & fixed it now!!
If not, you wont have Root!!

I can see the offline device, but it goes away as well. I keep rebooting and rebooting the phone to try again, but everytime it gets to the recovery screen with the phone and read triangle symbol, it loses it. Any ideas?

This is killin me. Reading about everyone working on rooting, meanwhile I'm stuck at work trying to move fast so I can go home and root. The irony is that I am not getting anything done because I'm reading this damn thread! I hate you all! just kiddin have fun guys and let's not have any bricks... root on!

would someone be willing to make a video of them going threw the rooting process if your like me sometimes you need a visual aid. thanks to anyone willing to do this and once again a big thanks to eugene for getting us root

Worked perfectly, Eugene! You're awesome!

I #fail at life... Fixing the How-to for Root, left a Key install out!!
