[Q] One-root and rebooting help?

[mvitachi]

Alright, I followed the directions from the "[PROGRAM] Updated:One Click Root/UnRoot (Mac and PC)" thread thoroughly(several times):


(couldn't find any answers in the thread about it)

So, I got all the drivers for my 64 bit computer and set my phone to usb debugging mode. I right-clicked the exe program and selected "run as administrator". Then the command prompt says now my phone is restarting to recovery mode; it does not do that. Does it mean that I need like an actually sd card so it can download the update.zip file into it or it should already do it to the internal drive.

What type of use cord are you using? Is it the one that came with the phone? I can only connect with my MAC using a quality or original cord.

If his fails you can download olcf from the market to root your phone. There are other options in this app but I would just use it to root.

Probably should not be posted in development

Original cord and what is this olcf from the market?

Make sure you are plugging the USB cable into a USB port on the back of your computer. I have personally had it not work on the front USB ports and I've heard of it not working on USB hubs as well.

Otherwise, you don't need an external SD card, just the internal one.

Sounds like you got things working but oclf is an app by ryanza that has an option to root your phone. It is fool proof
