So can't get past step 8
it runs but never stops...just a continuous - sendmsg <> failed?
I tried both the ./gingerbreak and
/data/local/tmp/gingerbreak commands.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot the problem?
Hey guys, I've updated OptimusRootZVD.zip to include Superuser.apk. Install using your favorite file manager.
EDIT: Also includes the adb.exe binary, so you don't need to worry about installing the Android SDK and whatnot.
Thanks DroidXcon!
At 12:15 pm EDT 4/29, the OptimusrootZVD.zip download does not include adb.exe...only busybox, gingerbreak, su and superuser.apk.
Hi, I'm another newb here and I made it to the step where you input adb shell and it says "error:device not found"
I don't know whats wrong I did the sdk updated and unzipped all the root docs to my documents and my android is plugged in. Any help to get this newb rooted would be awesome.
The only thing thats different is I haven't done the OTA update just yet because I don't want to loose my teethering ability. Once the command horribleness :'( is figured out I was going to update
Everything was going okay until step #11.
I was on the last command but when I entered it the whole thing just went frozen and started beeping and said no such file file or directory. What do I do?
What was step 11. Sorry I'm on my phone

11) Copy su and busybox to /system/bin
Quote:
cat su > /system/bin/su
cat busybox > /system/bin/busybox
cat Superuser.apk /data/app/Superuser.apk
I was on the very last command
Try it with the arrow sign. I wonder if the directions had you push that file earlier. Anyway if that does not work type exit then
adb install superuser.apk

@Chilinski ok i attached the new folder with adb files included to this post
Now it does. Accidentally uploaded the wrong one *facepalm*
The correct file is now attached to the OP. Might want to delete the one on your post to prevent confusion.
No matter how many times and how many ways i have done this, it fails at step 9 and tells me i'm not allowed to mount because obviously it did not successfully root, gingerbreak does its thing and finishes so i dont know what to do.
So I got it.
Persistence (i ran the first 7 steps about 4 times) and patience...it took a few minutes and apparently many "sendmsg <> failed?" lines are normal.
Just when I was ready to give up it worked.
I can't remember what the line was now (something about time to dance?)...but it may be helpful to add that line to the OP so we know when it it complete.
Thanks so much for the support here.
Ok I got both the SDK up and running or i can do it the rootzvd way. All i have to do now is enter the lines. but before i do that i have a question, if for some reason i have to remove the root process how is that done?
