Hello, I just started the process of rooting my dinc2 today. One of my friends has an HTC phone, not sure which, but he used a one-click rooter for it after unlocking the bootloader from htcdev.com
I tried doing it the same way, but with no success. After searching for other ways to root my phone, i stumbled across this thread( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796 ), after downloading everything I needed from the second post (because i unlocked my bootloader using htcdev) and extracting the zips it said to extract into c:\Android i opened command prompt and started copying/pasting. however; on the first line i immediately got an error,

Error: Unable to read file/directory RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.6

the post told me i should have gotten "Result should be cea499f51b40055ffd118960e1e73255, if it isn't, redownload the miniadb zip." so i did, restarted the whole process. i had my phone on usb debugging mode. i uninstalled HTC Sync from my pc, etc. I'm still getting the same error. So I tried just skipping it, got down to where i flash the recovery image over to the sd card and it fails within a second. I was hoping to post this in that thread so i'd get a better answer, but i'm not allowed to yet.
any help would be amazing.
I'll be checking this often, if you'd rather email me that's fine. just PM for the email address. If I don't have enough details, just ask me what you need to know and i'll try my best to answer them, thanks.

i found the issue, on the first line of code in the 2nd post on the thread that i'm following. there is a space where there should not be a space.
