Re: Re: Root new OTA with 4 clicks!

No problems everything working fine for me, after rooting with this method I followed these steps for a stock ota for rooted users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915 then went on to flash some custom roms

There's a lot of errors in that. You typed the first line wrong.
Start over on the step of typing, and take you're time.
Did you type it, or cut and paste? It is CasE SensITiVe. And the spaces have to be exactly right also.

You got past the hard part, so as long as your files are on the sdcard and you're in the adb-windows shell, the commands work.

BTW - Technically speaking, these commands can be pasted but usually people pickup an extra character or space and it doesn't work. So, you're better of typing it.

Re: cant root, but i get to last step

I down loaded the simple root ota edition but its giving a bunch of errors.

when I hit the step 1 button it says permision denied, did not copy the files. I copied the files for it and went on with the reset.

Step 2 says "sh: cant open /sdcard/part1 press ket to continue"when I press a key the windows goes away.

Not sure what to do now. any clues?

Re: cant root, but i get to last step

By how you are writing this seems you are rushing this process from experience let me say take your time and try to understand.i finally tired using simple root it its very donor, lol.
To start off delete any files you dled for a manual root from sd card because simple root has its own.
Make sure you have htc sync.step one is just pushing the files you will need to sd card and factory reset.pushing the files takes a while so be patient and wait until it says pushing complete.

Which code exactly are you typing?
And which step are you on?

Yes, the PC36IMG.zip file is not on your sdcard.
You probably don't have it named correctly.
It needs to say "PC36IMG.zip" it can't say "eng-PC36IMG.zip"
If you have extensions hidden on your pc, you won't see the ".zip" so if they're hidden the file was called "eng-PC36img.zip" but you saw "eng-PC36IMG" and if you typed "PMC36IMG.zip" you actually renamed it "PC36IMG.zip.zip"
