I just repeated step B for the 11th time because it reboots straight to android. I exited activation to reenable debugging the first time, even though it still activated because VM came through while it was pushing. Is this a normal amount of reboots? It's pretty quick to push (just pushed 20672490 bytes in 27.921 seconds) and then reboots without lag. Can I try to get into recovery manually? I don't wanna so anything iffy. This is for my parents phones, I have an EVO and these optimises have given me so much extra work comparatively so I can really empathize with all your assumingly tedious dev work so thanks for that btw. They just need a couple things for work plus bad reception where they are and some root tweaks is what I do to help. Otherwise I wouldn't care and don't wanna brick it and buy a new phone for them. Thanks again and happy 4th if July.
