Thanks i'll let you know

 

[FrankWhite77]

So I'm at the point where I'm trying to root and when the terminal screen pops up it says device not found, also when I first plug the phone into the computer it says device not recognized. What should I do here?

 

[FrankWhite77]

I should also note I stupidly skipped over the root section when I first tried (rushing through this; not good) and ran the cwr terminal before I did the root. After that I lost vibrate and my phone cannot be recognized.

are you able to boot into Clockwork?

No but strangely when i held down the volume buttons while powering up, my computer recognized the phone when I turned it on. I tried to root again and it recognized it until it tried to install superuser and then it said device not found again.

did you make sure that the screen was unlocked and not asleep when it got to that part?

Yes debugging and stay awake is on. Think it's possible I'm already rooted? I've done it before but I was pretty sure it was killed when I updated. Should I try the CWR terminal again?

Run the 1-click-remove root. Then try rooting again. You will probably get some errors during the 1-click-removeroot, but as long as they aren't device not found it will have worked

Phone frozen again.

During the testing procedure, I noticed if the root exploit doesnt finish successfully, my phone would freeze on the second attempt if i didnt reboot in between. thats why your phone is freezing, no need to fret, its not harming anything permanently

Dont feel bad , this could happen to others its good for it to be seen , maybe they can learn

Braydon is the man! A thousand thanks to him.

I know he is awsome

 

[Braydon525]

Braydon is the man! A thousand thanks to him.

So what happened is his phone was already rooted. When the root exploit was run, it froze the phone.

If anyone else is having this issue, please be patient. I am working on a fix. For now, just wait an hour or so and try again. That should disable the root exploit.
