Thanks Drew. That Android Screencast was a lifesaver.

sfhub, are you implying that we can simply flash the OptimusRootVD.zip from recovery? Flashing from recovery would be super easy. Because then the instructions could be to reboot recovery, flash OptimusRootVD.zip, nand (if you want), then wipe, then flash ROMs to your heart's content. I've...

I did notice when I rebooted after leaving recovery that the phone made a noise as though I were getting a phone call... some sort of telephone type ringtone. Maybe this helps with the solution? Is there a way to flash the recovery for VC so I can try the rooting to VC method? Or perhaps I...

Thanks. That helps. At this point I'm kind of at my wits end. I have reverted back to V9, ran the steps for rageagainsthecage, flashed the custom recovery, & rebooted recovery. All seemingly successful. However, my recovery is still blank, despite flashing CWMA 1.218.4. I then reboot the phone...

Sorry about the last post... it was in reply to pcubed's post above. So here's my issue. I reverted to v9, rooted, flashed CWMA 1.2518.5 then force flashed to VD. My recovery is still blank but I don't think I'm rooted anymore because SU isn't on the phone. So my question is, do I have the V9...

I got it rooted. Only I skipped one step and spaced rebooting into recovery which after I forced it to VD blew out the rooting (I'm guessing this is the case since Superuser isn't on there and the recovery I supposedly flashed (Xiona CWMA custom recovery) doesn't show up in recovery... in fact...

When I put ./ in front of adb push I get: ./adb: not found. If I put just adb push "etc" I get adb:Permission Denied. Any ideas? I appreciate your help with this. Maybe it's a permissions thing but I'm administrator on my mac so I don't know what's up with that. Thoughts?

I was able to get it to go to shell but nothing past that.

I followed them, however, I couldn't copy anything to the system/tmp folder... in fact I couldn't adb push anything to the phone... not even the sd card. And yes, usb debugging was on and install from alternate places was checked also.

Maybe you rooted once you got it back to VC? If so what method? PC? MAC? Also, what was your method for getting the clockwork recovery mod as your recovery?

Did you use rageagainstthecage or z4root? I can get my phone back to v9 and I thought I got z4root to work but no dice. I also didn't have any luck with rageagainstthecage on a mac... maybe I should try it on my PC side? Man, what a challenging phone to root.
