System write protection.

There is a mod to disable that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...e-disable-write-protection-v1-0-tool-t2966850

Or use a custom ROM, those have it disabled already.

I went through all the necessary steps. Only thing/issue now is the actual flashing of the root file. It will not take. Anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to get the necessary binary or whatever it's asking for? Thank you in advance.

It is not working on my HTC DESIRE EYE

Error: The code execution cannot proceed because RAPI.DLL was not found.

Troubleshooting steps:
1. Make sure the downloaded file is unzipped
2. USB Debugging enabled
3. On my phone i selected the option, USE USB FOR: "usb file transfer"
4. On my phone I also tried selecting the option, USE USB FOR: "CD Installer"
5. Restart Phone, Mobile and the downloaded file
