Can't get phone rooted at all

---

I've been at this for awhile and anything I try doesn't work. I used the SDK & PdaNet drivers on Win-7 x64, none have worked at all. "Offline" will only show twice after pressing recovery, I even used the vid posted by Kingofroyo and it didn't work either. I tried 2 sd cards also, adb works on my rooted g1 perfectly but the slide wont work in recovery mode. I used the guide by Eugene and followed every step but loop is the problem.

I dont think the sd is the problem or the drivers. You probably are missing a step somewhere. I have rooted the slide 3 times and the incredible (with the impossible root method) 4 times. It isnt a driver problem. Not putting you down but i have done every method.


Can you explain step by step what ou are doing?

I had the same problem but I have xp. Mine would show up only twice. My advise to u is not to use the loop method. I had to type adb devices manually. Once it has been type u can press the up arrow key and it will put the command back in for u all u have to do is press enter. I did that and once it shows offline the second time stop doing that and move on to the other steps. I'll be honest it takes good timing good luck.

Ive followed everything in eugene's guide, this isnt my first time rooting a device. Every step in his post was followed, nothing was skipped.

Same for me, it shows it twice only then that's it...loop is to quick for me to catch it, since it flashes pretty quick.

U will have to try the manual method then. My wife's slide the loop worked perfect I was done in 5mins. Once u get the manual method down it will be cake from there.

I have some Q's though:
-Some tell me that phone can't show "hboot usb" when you start loop
-i keep hearing about this "eng build" but is that for after your rooted..or before
-does setcpu work yet?

Couldn't tell u anything about the hboot. The eng build is after root. Setcpu works but it doesn't overlook.

I could try vista to see if it works on there.
