I am at 10 minutes now, sitting on the vold: 2383 GOT Start: 0x000162e8 GOT end: 0x00016328

already pulled better ones, this was 2nd attempt

Did you do the update today because that could be the problem.

so trying thru the ADB. In both methods under list of devices attached , mine says *******408acc device

is that right?

lol i edited that for you , dont want people having your serial number if you can help it ..... yeah as long as you see a serial number it should be good, to make sure its not seenig another device try the adb devices with the phone not plugged in and you should see no number

Are you running the ota update? If so this will not work.

 

[DroidXcon]

Are you running the ota update? If so this will not work.

yeah she was, they updated her at the store when she bought it . i tried running rage and it didnt work ,,

so i advise people not to update for now until there is a work around for root, and i think the best will be just to get clockwork working and flashing a root zip file

 

[charliebronson]

Just a note for the ADB instructions, in the last command, the b in GingerBreak is not capitalized, so if you just copy/paste you'll get a file not found error when trying to run the exploit. Took me way too long to realize why it wasn't working >_<

Went back to verizon and exchanged the phone for one w/o the update patch

ran the semi auto root and it worked like a charm..i am now rooted..woohoo!

 

[whitenessj]

haha how did you explain that one away??
You; "yeah this one is broke"
VZW;" how is it broken"
You:"It has a Verizon update and now it is broke. It wasnt but then You VZW touched it" (sad face)
VZW;" plese leave now"

Root is good. Where are the roms?!

 

[whitenessj]

unlike our GTab's (love mine) this one may take a week or 2

hahahaah i said they updated me in the store when i bought the phone so i had no say over the update and now the phone restarts allllll the time and i think it's bc of the update

actually it went like this

me: i just bought phone yesterday, it randomly restarts all the time
vrw guy: did you apply the update?
me: yes..i think thats why phone reboots randomly now
vzw: :funny face:: ok....

then he played with it for like a minute and just swapped it out for a new one haha

maybe it helps having boobs
