So, I stumbled onto this forum after trying to root normally using unrevoked, and of course, it said "failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?" I used the HTC tool to unlock the bootloader, because I thought I had to do that, I forget why. I have the Android usb HROOT driver thing on my phone, already, too. I'm new to rooting, btw.
So, then I found out that if you have 2.3.4, you have to root this way. So, I started downloading the files, and got the md5 summer, and the PB31 img file wouldn't unzip, no matter where I downloaded it from. I finally found one, but I'm pretty sure it has the wrong md5. I went ahead and tried to verify it and the other files, and keep getting errors about things "not exist"ing. Not sure what to do about this, or what it means. So, I can't even get started until I sort this out. No idea how to fix this or where to find uncorrupted versions of the files, if that's even the problem. Can someone please help me? Nothing seems to be working right...I'm so frustrated, I've been trying to root this phone for 2 days.
I know I'm probably doing something wrong, I just need help figuring out what.
