Device won't root. Cannot get the device "offline"

---

Hope this isn't a post that will really piss everyone off, but I'm not sure really where to go from here. Tried about 20 times. I run the loop command, it shows up for about 1 line and goes away.

I am still getting an Android 1.0 error of some sort. I've been reading about how to get this driver installed correctly. I uninstalled everything and started over (USBDeview, HTC Sync...The one for the Slide, SDK, Updated it with SDK Updater)

Windows 7 x64
Just went to Computer> right click> Manage> ABD Testing Interface....

I have a little yellow exclamation point next to this... Tried updating the driver. Not really sure though what driver I need or where it's at or the place I need to download it.

You ever feel like you've surfed cyberspace to the end of the megacluster? Yeah that's pretty much where I'm at frustrated, broken hearted, and wanting a one-click root procedure like the g1/mytouch.

Is it rude to wave money in developers faces for help? Does this make you feel like a stripper?

Ahhhh I'm just stuck.... Help would be so awesome.

I'm not a dev but I do feel like a stripper, but for unrelated reasons... Anyways. On my win7 64 I had to use pdanet and actually have the program running. For whatever reason when I tried closing pdanet it wouldn't work, so give that a shot. It also stopped the android 1.0 driver issues. I also gather from wes garners' twitter page he's working on a method of rooting that runs the adb scripts and **** for you. Maybe just wait it out.

What finally got it for me was, I formated a different sd card, put it in the phone, removed all software ( htc sync, pdanet) and removed all drivers I could find using usbdeview. Then rebooted with phone unplugged, installed pdanet following all their instructions, then the loop worked perfect. Good luck


Tl;dr version, i tried it all at the same time and it worked

That was on a win x64 system. Honestly I think it was the sd card, as weird as that sounds, because I tried all the usb stuff for about 4 hours to no avail, swapped out the sd card, rooted the first try.

I'll give all this a try. Do you use PDANet with or without HTC Sync? I was pretty tired last night when I tried and eventually gave up.


Hence all the stripper references.


I have an extra SD Card from my original Mytouch. I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Took me a day to figure this out too. Uninstall all the drivers then install pda net and reboot .. you must reboot .. then try the process . I wasn't rebooting after removing drivers and it wouldn't work until I did ..

You should really have looked at the other thread on this already. Any driver will work, as long as you can get "adb devices" to show your phone when the phone is booted normally. Whats worked for many others, especially myself after 4 days of trying, was using a different, freshly formatted SD card. Good luck.

To no avail!

Just tried again. Tried without rebooting the computer the first time and "offline" would hang for a little longer than before. Still wouldn't stay. Should I have tried recovery a few more times? (I did try about three times.)


Uninstalled and reinstalled everything. Then tried "loop". "offline" doesn't even show up. Tried an old SD card too after I reformatted it. Does it matter the size of the SD card?

fermunky- I've been following your posts pretty regularly and I think I'm having the same problem. Yes I do have ADB devices showing up if the phone is on normally and running through the SDK. Had a problem for a while where it wouldn't recognize the device, but it does now.

If I do figure this out I want to post up a step-by-step in this thread of what exactly I did to make it easier on people like myself.

It goes like this

Is there a way to catch it offline?
