I know this might sound lame to some of you folks, but I am too inexperienced to trust myself to do this alone and I have no real life friends who are into electronics. I have tried this on my Mac & my wife's PC using the walkthroughs with no success. I want to root my phone, remove a few preloaded apps and then install Fresh Rom. I would also like to know how to upgrade the rom for updates. I can Pay $10.00 for the lesson & walkthrough through Pay-Pal after the lesson.

Contact me if interested.

Thanks

 

Where is the walkthrough?

 

Thanks a lot, about to try it. I hope I do not mess up ...

Is the Fresh rom smooth? Quick?

 

I hit a snag. Running step 6, I run the sdk.exe and i get this message : Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.

This is keeping me from selecting 32/64 drivers.

Any suggestions?

ok, almost there. I got done rooting and now I hit a snag with the rom. Step 1 will not work. It says 'cannot stat 'adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img: no such file or directory.

 

Sorry, step 9 part 1 will not work and it gives me the above listed message.

 

Yes. I have double checked and I have even replaced it twice to make sure it was in there. Is there another recovery image to try and use? I was looking on theunlockr.com and they mentioned something about putting it on the sd card? Again, I am new to this. I feel like a smacktard not being able to do this with so many step by step instructions ...

Thanks

 

I have not tried to copy it to the sd before, should I have? Have not tried flashrec either

 

So just mount the phone, drag the flashrec to the sd card and then start step 9 again?

 

That is where my problem is right now. It is not allowing me to do so. Dumb question, on the first command, at the end, should it say sdcard or something different?

 

LOL, what should it say? Just sdcard, or the name of the card, like F: ? I am so lost...
