weird thing is adb devices do not see my phone even without SD card...
guess froyo is a must to get this working?
i am on EPE54B, still...

I now have an unlocked, newly unrooted FRF83. Will this tutorial still work for me?

t mobile usa 3g network, stock recovery image. I think I am unrooted because there was a warning in the tutorial and my adb shell denies super user permissions.

This guide is for people stuck on FRF83 because you can't revert to the older build where other guides worked.

If you are unlocked, this guide would be redundant for you. The purpose of this guide is to root without having to unlock, thus preserving your warranty.

Shell script version of loop.bat:

I assume this will work...

while true; do adb devices; done

I still would like to get my root back. Will that part of this tutorial work to get the root back?

EDIT: Got it rooted. wow that was easy.

Based on you providing links for recovery-RA-nexus-v.1.7.0.1.img, update-CM-5.0.8-N1-signed.zip, google addon EPF30; will the steps involving these install Cyanogen on my phone?
I was hoping to do this process without wiping my phone's memory and keeping my stock FRF83.

If you don't want the Cyanogen ROM or RA recovery just skip step #22 and stop with step #24. I didn't follow this tutorial as I did Booker-T's method with some tweaks but if you do what I said you should be fine.

You dont have to use that rom, you can flash any other rom as long as you have root. Paul obrien offeres a rooted FRF83 rom

I was able to do this without taking out / putting the SD card in (and thus avoided filing down my battery. I didn't run "loop.bat" until I was highlighting the Recovery icon, the ran it, when into Recovery, and adb picked it up.

Worked perfect!
Just, when flashing recovery, the better terminal emulator was giving me an error, i used Rom Manager to flash the recovery, and back to terminal to rm /system/etc/ blah blah ....GREAT Tutorial!
