So I have windows 7. when I download the .exe from the first step, how do I rewrite it's path to the C:\ drive?
This guide has been much help, but I seem to be stuck on Step 8.
When I type md5sum /sdcard/Shift/hboot_orig.bin or md5sum sdcard/Shift/hboot_end.nb0 is says "No such file or directory." Well I know there is because I can see it on my SDCard. Please help!!
Thanks a million in advance!
after typing "adb shell" i get "$" and i proceed to type in "su". i get "permission denied.
anyone know what i'm doing wrong here?
reboot both device and temp root is ON.
still receiving the same result. still "permission denied" after inputting "su"
any other tips?
cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\platform-tools
sounds like you need to uninstall the version you have, then reinstall a newly downloaded version... I think something happened to the one you have on your phone... It happens sometimes with apps. Try that.
I'm having the exact same problem. I can't uninstall it because it doesn't show up in the app manager. It must be there because when I try to install the new one it says "this app will replace an existing one" . If I continue with the install it fails every time. Any ideas?
Do you have a file manager installed? Root Explorer or something similar? You should be able to uninstall it from there....
Yea, but I don't see it there either. Looking in SD/system/app. Would it be called something other than visionary?
I copied it from my computer to the SD card like earlier in the instructions. Checked there anyways but its not there.Look in the sdcard/download folder if you used your phone to dl it....
some reason the visionary is not on the phone anymore but the phone isnt too slow can i continue to the other process or should i try to keep installing the app ?
6. [/B]Next, switch your phone's connection status back to "Charge Only". Use any file manager (free from the android marketplace "ES File Explorer") to install the VISIONary app on your phone. On your phone just find the visionary installer in the file manager and click to install. (Icon should look like a caution sign). Once complete, open VISIONary on your phone and click "Temproot Now". Wait for the rooting process to take place. Shouldn't take long at all. At this point your phone is rooted. However, you may noticed that your phone is running slower than normal. Go back into VISIONary and put a check next to the box that says "temp root on boot". Now power off your phone and then turn back on. This will root your phone before background apps are running, thus making it much faster.
