[necronomikron]

Reboot the phone once to get back market and mass storage on the phone.

Thedude good job on ROOT , but I am new at this and am wondering if your still working on the update.zip. And may you please excuse me if you answered the question before.

Thanks

don't think it worked cause it says i can't remove apps, read only file system

oops silly me i got so excited i forgot to setup SU lol

I can adb the phone, I can see everything looks correct before flashing. RSD says it's switching the phone to boot mode or whatever and right after it says "Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. (0x7100; phone connected)". Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

Edit: What does everyone have their settings on in RSD?

Edit 2: This is what shows in my flash error file. The file doesn't have that funky y at the end so I'm not sure why RSD is adding it...

I would recommend rebooting the computer and waiting until you see the little (M)otorola icon in the task bar before you run RSD. I had that problem for about 30 minutes before i remembered a little error message had popped up about something not being initialized. I could see the phone but not the software version, and the flash would not complete. Once I rebooted and exercised a little bit of patience on startup the whole process was smooth as butter.

I found a solution!

If RSD lite is constantly failing or not showing your device.

Rename the SHX file to rooted.shx and place into the RSD folder.

1.) Click the Start button.
2.) Type CMD (win xp skip to step 4 and press enter after cmd)
3.) You will see CMD appear at the top of the search. Right click on it and say run as administrator.

4.) Type the below exactly how you see it followed by pressing enter. If you are not on 64 bit windows you do not need the (x86) from below.

cd c:\
cd program files (x86)
cd motorola
cd rsd lite
sdl.exe -f rooted.shx -t 2

That should be it.

VIOLA!

read the rest of the thread, the devices are identical, I think Dude needs to put it in the main post, people have asked this maybe 5 times

[nEx.Software]

The comments on the Engadget story are amusing. I am not entirely sure of the tone of the Engadget story altogether, to be honest.

Yeah, pretty stoked about that.
I'll put notes about the dext in the first post. I wasn't sure it would work myself.

so i have a question.... when the 2.1 roms are released do we have to go through the same process we just did? i have never rooted a phone and while i could have waited for 2.1 i wanted to see if i had it in me.

For now...yes...eventually...no.

[MrOtsKrad]

that process for rooting is stupidly easy (for me) nice work TehDude, hopefully ur ass got some grub and rest last night lol

[Treello]

was pretty easy im way pumped.... this is an assumption but if any 2.x roms come out im going to be under the impression motoblur will not be working? (im okay with it just curious)

was trying to figure out a way to subscribe to thread without creating new but couldn't figure out so this is giong to be a kudos to the modders that brought us here
