If you run this and it doesn't root you try wiping data from Setting>privacy and wipe the internal storage as well. I did that and it worked for me. Granted I didn't try this method without wiping my internal. If nothing else it cleans it up for you.

Were do I click run.bat?

The newest root method. I know there are several right now, but this puts it all in one place! This should take care of those with the file already exists errors.

Ok, so whatever changes you made ... it seems to work better in a virtual windows environment

Before it would get stuck at "daemon started succesfully"
now it goes through to "Installing Root Tools..."
but then I get a string of error messeages
either "device offline" or "device not found"
then "cleaning up" ... device not found
then "rebooting" ...device not found
then it freezes
when I unplug my device or toggle debugging mode it continues to say "root complete"
.... so close.

So If I'm rooted on Z4? then I still need to unroot and upgrade to Z6 for this to work?

Just unzip the zip file, go into the new folder, click run.bat and follow what it says on the screen.

You just click the Run.bat in mt's zip folder. It runs in cmd.

EDIT: Damn you mt for beating again....

I am sure I should know this answer, but what mode do I need to set the phone in when I connect to the computer? I'm assuming mass storage mode is not going to fly.
