Did u click continue? If not you should do it and see what happens if it works then dont worry about it. If it doesnt work let me know.

The worst SOC will do is fail. If that happens use titanium backup to back up your apps. If you want to keep text messages and call logs just go to the market and search for sms back up and grab a free one. Once everything is backed up shut down your phone. Press and hold vol down, home, and power until you see a progress bar. Let go when you do, and wait for the phone to boot back in skip all the start up things, just keep clicking next, and when you get to the home screen again. Go to menu, settings, applications, development, check keep awake, and USB debugging mode. Plug your phone in now, use the notification bar to change from whatever connectivity mode you were in to charge only. Slide the notification bar back up and toggle USB debugging off then back on. Launch SOC and click root.

If youre worried about messing up your phone back it up first. Your phone has an auto wipe system, if something messes up activating it via the vol down home power when the phone is off wipes your phone clean to a fresh out of the box start, minus the provisioning crap which is already done.

Is your phone ejected from the computer? It needs to be plugged in be ejected from the computer, use safely remove hardware for this. It should not hang for more then 20 seconds at any point in the process. If it does force close SOC unplug your phone and plug it back in. In your taskbar find hover over the icons until you find one that says safely remove hardware right click on it and eject it. Its faster to respond if you go to computer and fine your phone then right click on it and eject it from there. Once that is done toggle USB debugging mode off then back on in the phones menu and re launch SOC.

I did all that and still nothing

Is it hanging somewhere or are you getting an error message?

 

[stieber73]

no error messages except that first one that I told you about and its hanging on checking drivers

 

[ichihollow]

Try this when it gets to checking drivers toggle USB debugging off then back on see it co?tinues after that.

 

[stieber73]

it did nothing, still said checking drivers

 

[stieber73]

I sent you some extra instructions in a private message if you dont mind test those out for me and let me know how it goes.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
