Thanks for the guide now I can delete apps I don't want to ever see again ^^ Anyways time has passed since you made the thread but I wanna share how I made it work flawlessly. ^^
Though my Kyocera Rise's model number is quite different from yours; Virgin and Sprint phones are model number C5155 while mine is a Public Mobile with model number C5156. That makes the driver you provide useless for Public Mobile users.
But I managed to find a way to get a working android driver for Windows (thanks EnzymeX, you can look at his original post in which he talks about PDANet app :
http://androidforums.com/rise-all-things-root/667395-kyocera-rise-public-mobile.html, post #30):
- Install
PDANet+ on the phone from the Google Play store,
- Then I installed
PDANet app on my windows 7 64bits while the phone was plugged-in as a "Mass Storage" device.
- The windows app asked me to activate USB debugging which I did when asked,
- It then finished setup in mere seconds. The app just installed a generic android driver that worked with the rest of the guide.
- Follow the guide's instructions right after the driver install process since PDANet installed a generic driver working with the phone.
When done with the rooting process I typed "su" without quotes in the terminal and it did ask for root access. WONDERFUL!! So basically your guide is perfect as the rest went as straight-forward as it's supposed to.
N.B.: Windows didn't need admin rights, I just double-clicked "RunMe.bat" (from a folder without any spaces in any parent folder's name, I used "G:\BigBox\Non-Class?s\krise") and followed the thread tutorial step by step.
Thanks again it was worth registering just to get it to work then share the result with you guys ^^. Cheers
Do i have to put that code in i have no idea what it is help..
Mine didn't have any code so when it asked for encryption code I left it blank and tapped on "Restore my data".
...i'm wondering if there is any specific way that the phone needs to be connected to the PC. Ex. Charge Only, Media Device, or Mass Storage. I have USB Debugging on, and right now I have it in Mass Storage, and it goes no further than, "If all is successful, I will tell you"...
When I plugged it prior to installing PDANet for windows, I selected "Mass Storage". Thought I didn't enable USB debugging until PDANet asked me to do so. When asked I activated it and the computer immediately started working.
