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

I successfully rooted my Warp, but then updated Superuser. Now the SU Binary Updater will not work. It shows latest version 3.1.1 and installed version 2.3.1 I hit the update button but it says " Fixing Database....fail! Any advice on this? My email won't work anymore.

Go to the market unistall superuser(doesn't really) then update binary then update superuser

I hey apollo thanks for replying sorry it took so long to get back to you trying to prove to the little lady that I can stay away from the phone for a little while. yeah I did the debugging. I just can't seem to get a drivers installed. I get to the part where in it you know it says windows or linex in a prius windows in then nothing happens I must be something wrong with the laptop that I'm using it to friends it's a little dots on an updated it all and now I'm confused on how to get superuser on my sd also the other day I tried and it didn't work but when i turnedmy phone back on cmw was on the bottom of my screen. I've had the computer scan for the drives it found them in system 32 but I also have them on my desktop so I'm not really sure what's going on. so with all that being said I guess my problem is when I click on windows to install the drivers and it asks me english after that nothing happens.thanks for any help

Well I got cwm installed. And I got super user on sd card But now it says sd card can't mount When I'm in cwm. And I used a computer that had windows 7 instead of xp and I got the drivers to install no proble but it seems the computr is only recognizing my phone sometimes once in awhile it recognize the phone in the other times it says it's a cd player as soon as I hook up my usb cord so I guess first off I gotta figure out or you guys have to tell me how to get my sd card amount when I'm in cwm. thanks again hey I'm just psyched I got clockwork installed

in cwm go to mounts and storage and manually mount the sd card and try if that doesnt work try a differnet sd card

the program in the Ultimate warp drive file i am clicking on the RUN ME - root + cwm + patch + stock. Is that the wrong thing to use at this point? i already have all the drivers installed and pdanet is installed as well.

Hey man i had the same problem my pc installed all my drivers but when trying to root it said waiting on device the way i fixed this is installing pdanet for my windows so after stock drivers are installed on your computer download pdanet on your computer then try root again should have no problems after that


You can do it we can help

try this, it's been the source of a lot of the issues with drivers I think:

open dialer and enter *983*87274# choose AT

hey guys, I've been following knoxville363's youtube tutorial to root my B08c ZTE Warp, but I'm running into the issue he's mentioned as well as others here. When I'm running through the CWM process and I get the <waiting for device> message, I get a popup from windows requesting to install drivers. I'm running on Windows Vista 32 Home Basic. Where can I find the drivers I need to install so I can get past the <waiting for device> message?

@Gre3die3.... Have you rooted ur phone yet? If you haven't already, I highly recommend you going to Mr Bobo's post in the sticky section.... Easy Root for Boost Mobile. Follow the instructions and in about 10 minutes you'll be rooted. Once thats installed, check ur app drawer for super SU (looks like an android superman in flight). If you have it, ur rooted. download an app like Titanium Backup and make sure it asks for superuser permission!! Hope this helps!
