Hey there, XDA Members.

I have posted a few times, one because my device was bricked. I have reset my device, and was happy with it. Now, I want to reroot. It seems that I have lost my MicroSD card adapter, so there is no way for me to put the image onto it.

My point is, is there a way I can root my NST DIRECTLY from my PC?

No you cant. No way.

I would mostly agree with "No, no way".

For completeness, I would add that if you figured out the JTAG interface,
soldered on a connector and had a JTAG interface you could do anything you want.

The other way would be if you could get fastboot to work.

Just to be clear, these two methods are advanced and have never been investigated.

I suppose you could try using an android-based phone that is already rooted. A rooted android phone may have the ability to write an image directly to the sd card, and most android phones have micro-sd card slots.

Is there something wrong with going to Office Depot to temporarily buy the adapter, using it for this purpose, and returning it within 14 days of your purchase for a 100% refund?
