[GUIDE] Rooting 3.7/Hboot2.02+ w/screen shots (1/27/2011)

o ok thank you, didn't know that. this the first time i ever heard of Md5. and yes the codes did match and my phone has already been rebooted when i did these steps earlier.


p.s. do i have to backup my phone before rooting? going back to factory reset is no problem for me since everything i need is on my sd card

You can backup your apps with titanium backup after you get temporary root, then I would just start the process over as one of the first steps is to factory reset your phone.

It's not necessary, it's all up to you.

[joey132]

when i extract the files which option do i choose

"Extract and replace files"
"Extract and update files"
or "Fresh existing Files"

You can just extract and replace, no existing files should be there.

 

[joey132]

ok i made a new folder called C:evoroot and when i do command prompt it doesn't recognize the file

Copy the files/folders that you extracted from the zip to your evoroot directory.

 

[joey132]

there is no evoroot directory on my files. it seems like im extracting files then create new folder and name it c:evoroot and let it zip everything but then it still doesn't show anywhere in my files

 

[joey132]

weird?

 

[2CupsWithString]

The folder should be called "evoroot" and it should be on your c drive, all the files and folders from the zip should be copied in to it.

 

[joey132]

here you can see its in the C: drive

 

[joey132]

and thats the files inside evoroot

 

[2CupsWithString]

and thats the files inside evoroot

adb isn't there.

Make sure you have all the files and folders extracted, you should have these folders: pc36img, recovery, root and these files: adb, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll.

 

[joey132]

still no luck. says "stystems cannot find the path specified "

 

[2CupsWithString]

still no luck. says "stystems cannot find the path specified "

Did you copy the adb file to the evoroot folder?

 

[joey132]

yes. let me tell you exactly what im doing

i extracted the files (all of them) to the c: drive and put it in a folder called evoroot


and i got a windows xp and clicked run > cmd > cd c:evoroot. i even done c:evoroot or just evoroot alone and nothing works.

this is weird dude!!
