i have ubuntu as my OS. could i put xp inside virtualbox and hook up my phone? or do i need a pc with windows loaded?
make sure you use the right rooting software for your baseband.Don't do it. Even when I have eventually succeeded, it was based on trial and error. Rooting the phone on a Windows computer is a piece of cake using SUT LR and Super One Click. If you are like me, a 100% linux user, I would recommend you a tiny windows xp partition to handle these kind of situations.
Regards.
I remember my first V, I mesed with z4root and superoneclick but couldn't remember which did what or if either failed. by the time I got a new one gingerbreak was out.I'm pretty sure only SuperOneClick version 1.64 worked to root the V. Had to use the Shell Root option and then push SU and Busybox as well as change permissions with a terminal on the computer, after proper setup of the Android SDK.
Z4 Root never has worked for the V
