Rooted phone

I believe I followed the instructions to a T. My phone is rooted i have access to root only apps that work great but I no longer have 4g access, currently 1x. It seems like I am running a downgraded version. I know we downgraded it got rid of that file downloaded the other PG file on the TB but should lose my 4g capabilities?

I'm such a terminal newbie that please don't mock me too badly, but I can't even get beyond the first command. When I type "cd.." I get a response saying "-bash:cd..: command not found"

here is a copy/paste of what I'm seeing:

PGmac:~ Playground$ cd..
-bash: cd..: command not found


When I "ls" from this point I see my user folder, not the drives. Thanks.

what happens if you do cd tools

 

[feeserface]

I get:
"-bash: cd: tools: No such file or directory"

did you watch the video that cory posted

[feeserface]

Yeah, I watched it, but must've looked away when he specifically said there were spaces between the cd and the ..

Thanks for your patience.

Will keep you posted.

OK, so I followed the procedure and Shootme works! Yay. However, when I try Titanium Backup I get a "root access denied" error.

Any clues? Should I repeat the process again?

Thanks

I did this procedure yesterday this is my first Andriod phone and my first time attempting anything like this. The instruction was very clear and the video was a huge help. I was going to wait for the mac one click method but this is almost as easy. Thanks again for all the help!

Sorry if someone has already posted this I haven't read through all of the replies yet but an issue I can't figure out is that I am currently on the beginning part with terminal locating my TB from ./adb devices and it just says

List of devices attached
*blank*

matthew-shumways-macbook:tools Matt$


It's not finding my device and I have USB Debug. (on) and Disk Mode (on) any suggestions?

Used this method yesterday, worked flawlessly

Hi guys, I needed to exchange phones for another reason and now when I try to do this method again, I'm able to put the downgrade on and move past the bootloader, but when I get to the New PG file that I'm supposed to put on the sd card, when I try to do the "psneuter command" I get the following error:

mmap() failed. Operation not permitted

Please help if y'all can. Thanks.
