Re: [Auto] Root and Unroot (Windows)**Updated**5/20** w/MR1 updat

OK, First time rooting a phone. Was able to get it done with no problems at all. The question I have is at the end it tells you to delete a zip file from your SD card. I can't remember what file I was supposed to delete???? Can someone please remind me what that file was?? THANKS

The pg05img.zip........ if you ever have to boot into recovery from bootloader (volume down rocker + power button) the pg05img.zip will automatically start loading which will block access to the recovery option.

If that ever happens, you will need to pull the sd card out of the phone and put it into a card reader on your computer to delete the file. So.. it's better to delete it or move it from the root of the sd card now before you run into that problem.

Yes as stated its the pg05img.zip file on your sd card.
Make sure to set your phone to "disk drive" in the "Connect to PC" Tab in settings.

Settings / Connect to PC / Default Connection type / select "disk drive", then connect your phone and surf your SD cards contents - its right in the root dir....

i keep getting "adb not recognized as internal or external command operable program or batch file" instead of my phones serial number at the beginning, i have the latest htc sync downloaded..but with that it says no phone found... dont know if that has anything to do with it
 
Re: [Auto] Root and Unroot (Windows)**Updated**5/20** w/MR1 updat

I used this to root my phone. 1) at first it would quit due to an early check/image check. I repaired the HTC synse drivers and tried again. Worked like a champ.

Once rooting I didn't have a 4g/3g connection. I downloaded BAMF SEnse and the new radio. Rom to Bamf Sense then HBOOT with the radio image, per instructions, on the SD card (turn off, hold power + volume down).

I still couldn't get a connection. . .I re-connected my battery cover (on the back) and it started working? odd. . .

The connection for the antenna is built into the battery door. If you ever have problems with service... that's the first place to check... make sure the battery cover is snapped in place all around the phone. Sometimes it may feel like the battery door is attached but if you work your way around the cover you will find sometimes that it can still snap into place.

Re: [Auto] Root and Unroot (Windows)**Updated**5/20** w/MR1 updat

sorry if this is a dumb question but i understand that this wipes all data settings etc from phone, but does it wipe what ever is on the sd card itself? should i wipe my sd card before i attempt to do this?
 
Re: [Auto] Root and Unroot (Windows)**Updated**5/20** w/MR1 updat

It will not wipe the sd card... not even a factory reset will do that.

did you try other usb ports... try restarting the computer, or restarting the phone, or both...

Make sure usb debugging is on, phone is set to charge only, and not to sleep, etc.

and maybe try a different usb cable.
