All "install" is doing is using adb to copy some files to your phone. You can do that by hand if you want, but you should figure out why adb cannot see your phone.

Some reasons might be:
1) drivers not installed
2) usb debugging not enabled
3) usb cable is not working correctly
4) drivers installed, but in a broken fashion

If you want to make progress, you can manually copy the copy2sd\000root directory to your /sdcard. So when you are done you should have a directory named /sdcard/000root. Similarly for the second zip file.

However, I would highly suggest you figure out why adb cannot see your phone as it will just make things much easier.

do you know where to find the driver

 

[e_mdelaunay815]

do i just flash that file

 

[sfhub]

There are 2 drivers
1) USB
2) Android

Both can be found in reference section 9A of the first post.

You run the 2 driver installs on your PC. Do NOT flash them to your phone.

thank you i am moving forward for now

 

[e_mdelaunay815]

it says cd/sdcard/000root:not found, im trying to root now

 

[sfhub]

it says cd/sdcard/000root:not found, im trying to root now

Did you resolve your previous issue with the device not being found?

It should be

cd /sdcard/000root

You are missing the [space] between "cd" and "/sdcard/000root"

ya thanks I got that. It's rooted now. But now a new issue. I can't send text messages when I am on my airrave coverage. I'm new to this. Thanks for all the help

I thinks that is a limitation of some versions of the airave hardware. Don't have the details. I'm sure someone has written about it. Try googling it.

Hey guys

wondering if I could ask about flashing, and rooting an Optimus S thats on ZVD
right now, I'm running reborn 2.2.4 on it now, and its rooted.

My problem is the usb wont connect to a computer, I can charge the phone ok
but I am unable to get in to adb shell from any usb device.

I think something screwed up with the last update I did, and I lost USB

is there anyway to flash to the latest release, with my evo 4g all the updates are via zip file
just go to recovery, wipe, and flash a new rom.

anything like that for the optimus s.


thanks for any help

You can flash the latest release w/o PC, but to root it, you need PC.

Have you double checked that your USB Debugging is enabled on the device?
Have you got the right drivers installed and configured if you're running Windoze?

Yea double and triple checked,
have 3 phones all the same, 2 work ok,
3rd just wont connect via usb

do you have a link to the file I would need to flash without using the pc,
I've moved on to the evo 4g, I am flashing this for my son's optimus, and having been away from the optimus for a while I dont want to flash the wrong file.

also will the new file flash over my custom recovery, should I flash back recovery before updating?

Thanks for all the help !!

 

[sfhub]

What did you want to accompish? I lost track.

With how things are setup now you can't root without a USB connection.

You can do the other stuff, though.

You can install custom recovery, custom ROM, or unroot.

you could have broken the data transfer part of the cable or the data transfer part of the phone. I had a friend with a phone and the data transfer part was broken but charging worked fine.

Mirrors 2 and 3 for the zvh update.zip are dead links.

Mirrors 2 and 3 for the zvh update.zip are dead links.

I got rid of the mirror2/3 dead links and am replaciing mirror2 with a more persistent download location.

Should be done uploading in about 20min. The link is there but won't work until the upload is complete.

If you need another mirror let me know.
