Bubby's Simple Root Help

[astrosan2983]

Hi, I am new to rooting, and this is my first time with a smartphone. I am trying to use Bubby's Simple Root, but when I get into HBOOT, it says that it can not find the PD98...img. I have tried puting the file in my phone, but i do not know exactly where to get it and which file to put it in. Please help! Any would be greatly appeciated.

More than likely you need to redo the gold card because it didn't work

Thank you. Ill see if this works. I guess my gold card didn't work the first time. What sd cards seem to be the best to make them with?

I've found it's hit or miss with any brand of SD card. I tried 2 SanDisk cards and neither worked. I then tried the one that came with a BlackBerry I had from 3 years ago and that one didn't even have a brand name on it but it worked. Go figure. Trial and error really.

I had problems with two different SanDisk 8GB SD cards. They would both go all the way up to HBOOT screen then never find the PD98img file. I had to manually copy the file over to the SDcard to get it to work and restart the procedure.

I did find another problem after the root was completed....I can't use dwn vol and power to start in recovery mode. Any ideas? Any new key combination of keys to use instead? or must I use the Rom manager?
