Root [Boost Mobile] Root after B08c update (should also work on earlier builds)

Before I start this headache of a process, I just want to know if this will allow me to use my warp as a hotspot. If not I won't even bother. I have hacked a Wii & a PSP so far & they were child's play compared to all this lol.

It sure will. The two main reasons are to kill ads and tether/hotspot to me. although the Hotspot is slow I just need ocassional usage.

I successfully installed the "One click installer found here http://androidforums.com/warp-all-things-root/490927-one-click-process-installing-cwm.html."

I can successfully boot into Clockworkmod Recovery.

I then selected "apply update from sdcard"

Under "Chose a package to install:", I selected SuperUser.zip

I get...Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

am I doing something wrong? I had no problems rooting my warp before the update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE...Problem was solved. I manually installed Clockworkmod instead of using the One Click installer. Presto! I am now rooted

I tried the one click method and it worked great. Im having the same SD card issues as everyone else though, Ive tried formatting it through CWM to no avail so I guess Ill try formatting it through my pc etc.

:eek:
I finally got it work!!!! On my 2gb card, I'd like to use my 8GB instead. what can I do besides trying the process all over again on the sd that wouldn't work the first time..
Thanks

Well when not boots to the android its in bootloader mode as for it not connected are the drivers up to date?

all drivers are up to date, everything checks out for the programs needed and driver installations...

i did another drivers update and it is still doing the same thing. A i chose option one to root clockworkmod and it sends my phone to black screen and little android dude is the only thing on the screen.... i let it be for ten minutes and it has done nothing and the cmd tells me

First we install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Rebooting into bootloader...
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started successfully *

*server not running *
Flashing ClockworkMod Recovery...

<waiting for device>

^^^ this is ecaxtly what it is telling me every time

just wanted to say i installed drivers, one click method to flash clockwork mod and it worked perfectly the first time.. i also had help watching the video on how to do this that knoxville363 had on youtube. as long as you follow the instuctions it works perfect!!


I am following Knox's vid and when it comes to "sending recovery" it just sits there and on his vid it only took a second to go to the next step. My drivers seem to be ok otherwise I wouldn't have gotten this far !! Any ideas I want to get this done and this is killin me I had my zte rooted before the "update" and this is a royal pain ...compared to that one ....HELP !!


BTW Thank You to all the developers that have made rooting our phones and the possibilities thereafter so cool !!

thanks in advance ...Cyn :O)
