How To Root?

[Guntherm]

It's workign but not working. LOL

SDK is installed

I can run adb devices from command line, only if in the directory(which makes no sense)

The phone doesn't show up in the SDK.. isn't is suppose to show up?

How do we verify we can do somethign to the phone(without rootign it right away) something minor that would require this software beign setup correctly and functing.. sorta like a test..

are you using Mac or PC for this? for Macs, i open up a terminal, change the directory to my android SDK folder > platform-tools, and type in ./adb devices.

that will show your connected phone, its serial and status. some other adb commands to give it to test out would be

./adb version
./adb help
./adb push (push file to sd)
./adb pull (pull file from sd)

with Macs (and probably linux too) you need to add the './' before the adb commands, since the adb file is a hidden file you need to start the commands like that.

oh yes, please remember to set your phone for USB debugging.

okay adb is working from command line fine now.

Now what? LOL

^ All that up there just got me so confused to the point where i just want to give up rooting my TB.

is there a simpler way? like a ROOTING for DUMMIES step by step booklet.

I know how you feel. So much is assumed at times, but all these strange words.
