okay, I don't know if I'm completely stuck or not.
Installed drivers. (thanks for the leading me to the correct path.)
On to unrevoked 3.22..... it is not a zip file. It is a exe file. So, per your instructions, I simply just said to "run as administrator". Finally able to click on "custom recovery" and then after a while it said "Done" on the computer and had quite a few choices on my phone. I let it sit the a while, but gave up, pulled the battery, unplugged the phone. I restarted my phone as usual and looked in my app drawer and I now have superuser. I went to clear data and there wasn't any.... is that right?
that is correct. there prolly wont be any data until you try and use superuser to grant permission to something(like rom manager,or titanium backup. or root explorer)
I clicked on "superuser" in the app drawer and it just gave me a blank screen. Is that normal??
yes. see above. as soon as youve granted or denyed permissions to things,there will be a list on the screen
Next question: how do I download rom manager? I can't go to the market to get it b/c of the "low on space" message I have. It doesn't think I have enough memory to do squat!!
do you have some sort of file manager allready? if so you can "sideload" it by placing the rom manger .apk on your sd card,then navigating to it with a file manager. tap on it,and it will ask if you want to install it. if you dont have a file manager,you could email yourself the .apk file. when you tap on it in your email,you should also be able to install it.
Thanks again. At least I haven't bricked it yet!!
did superuser ask if you wanted to give rom manaer permissions? try deleting data from the superuser app now that youve run rom manager.
its not so important that you get rom manager to flash clockwork,you just want to see a window pop up and ask for permissions and then tell it yes. its important for superuser and root to be working to complete the downgrade steps
oh and there was only 8 kb of data in superuser.alternatively,you can go ahead and procede with step 4. after entering adb devices go ahead and enter adb shell this should change your prompt to a $ now type su. you should get the pop up on your phone asking for superuser permissions. make sure "always" is checked and tap "allow" if your prompt changes to a # then youre good to go. type exit then exit again to get back to the "mini-adb_inc>" prompt.
continue on with the rest of the guide. just go slow,make sure you get all the commands in the correct order,and you can look at my session at the bottom of post 1 to see what the output of each should be.
good luck
clear data in superuser(settings/applications/manage apps/superuser). make sure youve cleared data there after trying to run a root only app like rom manager. go ahead and clear it in rom manager as well.
1)clear data in rom manager
2)run rom manager. pay close attention for a pop up asking for superuser permissions.
3)attempt to flash clockwork recovery
4)if you didnt get a superuser pop up,erase daTa in superuser. do steps 1-3 again
hopefully it starts working,and when you look in superuser youll see rom manager listed with a green +. if its there,but with a red -,tap the - to change it to a +. now try steps 2 and 3 again
alternatively,you can download or sideload a "root checker" app that will tell you if root is working or not.
and no,it doesnt matter that you have kung fu superuser
