it says windows cannot open the file.

you have to extract with winrar or 7zip

[incrediblenotinstock]

[D13]

alright its all in tools

then do those commands

 

[incrediblenotinstock]

- adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
- adb push su /sdcard/su
- adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
- adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- adb shell
- cd data/local/tmp
- chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- let the process run until it 'kicks' you out (may take a minute or two)

Wait. It took 5 minutes for mine to reset. Once it does, it will go back to the original directory. And, at least for mine, Windows then re-detected the phone.

See Droider13......you've taught me well

 

[incrediblenotinstock]

Yes, basically.

 

[incrediblenotinstock]

how will i know when to move on?

 

[akkkmed]

how will i know when to move on?

The command prompt will change and something like C:/xxx/xxx/ will show up at the very bottom line. (Instead of whatever has been on the screen)

 

[incrediblenotinstock]

the only thing that showed up was a money symbol.

 

[akkkmed]

Yeah, it should go past that (new line) when it's done. I'm going to let Droider13 advise you again... Sorry.

[incrediblenotinstock]

OK I am following fine but my computer is not seeing my device? when I get to "adb devices" Then the List of attached devices shows nothing...

 

[Aggie12]

I followed the steps exactly as stated and it's stuck at the money sign after it needs to restart. This isn't my first time rooting either, and I've waited about 15 minutes and still nothing. Could I have done something wrong or should I do something with the money sign?

I was having this issue... it took a few tries and even a battery pull. I may have just been being impatient because on the last time it finally just kicked me out to a dos prompt and when i did adb shell it came back to pund sign.

moved my su/busybox yatta yatta and bingo back in business.

try doing a battery pull on the phone then also do a adb server-kill followed by a adb server-start before trying again

 

[yohankenobi]

I'll give it a try and see what happens.
