I tried to Root but...

[hunterx119]

Ok, so i read the sticky on how to root my phone manually, and with pre-kitchen. I tried pre-kitchen, and i kept getting errors on how it wasnt able to push the files to my phone. So i went manually, and followed each step, in order exactly. I got all the way to pushing the Recovery Image file to my sd card, but i wouldnt copy it. It keeps saying that there was a permission denied. I was just wondering if anyone had a fix, or maybe something i did wrong?

Make sure your SD Card is not locked and that it is not mounted. Also make sure USB Debugging is enabled.

the sd card is not supposed to be mounted when im within the command prompt?

Gotta read the guide carefully

Taken directly from the guide: (Read all the way through step 5)

Step 1: Download the Android SDK from Android SDK | Android Developers The Windows file is called android-sdk_r4-windows.zip. Extract the files to your C: drive so that you now have the folder C:\android-sdk-windows

Step 2: Download the asroot2 exploit file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1257621154 Extract asroot2.zip to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder.

Step 3: Download the Hero recovery image from http://www.androidspin.com/downloads...roc-v1.5.2.img Place this file in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools as well.

Step 4: Make sure USB Debugging is off by going to Settings>Applications>Development. Now connect the phone to your PC via USB cable.

Step 5: Mount your sdcard; Browse to the HTC Sync folder and install HTC Sync on your pc. After it is done installing unmount the sdcard then enable your USB debugging.

*Note* If the drivers you installed from HTC Sync do not work, you can alternatively download a program called PDAnet. This will not only allow you to tether your phone, but will also install the correct drivers for you as well. *Note* (This note is not part of the original tutorial)

ok i put the image in the wrong folder and continued the process till almost the end (CODE:18). What should I do now?


EDIT: I started the process over and when I push the recovery image it says permission denied...

turn USB debugging off and then back on.. that helps sometimes

If you're using the kitchen from Flipz, it's pretty self explanatory (pull any file).

Otherwise, check this out:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581635&page=4
I think that's the one. I can't load the pages due to poor internet quality at the moment.

Use pre-kitchen - orange wrench - "pull/delete any file"

Thanks Terr Unfortunately I had manually root so the command prompt will have to do

The orange wrench sounds much easier

Cheers,

Even if you manually rooted your phone, you can still use pre-kitchen to remove/add "bloatware"

Tho I did leave Sprint Navigation intact,, I use it quite abit
