Hi
I tried the boot method 1 in your instructions w. a 512M and 256M SDcard I had lying around. Neither one gets to the initial cardboard box boot screen. I just see the n symbol and it boots in as normal. Tried putting the image on Windows and mac with same result. Is it possible that the SDcard density needs to be some specific range for this to work?
Thanks
I had the same issue rerooting my 8GB earlier today. Perhaps there's something wrong with the .img or the WinImage version?
I eventually got it to work properly using the tools and image provided in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439630. Wrote that image to the SD, then just replaced the files with those provided in the OP's .zip. HomeCatcher didn't seem to be installed, but that was easy enough to sideload with ADB. Root and Market worked fine, though.
