Is adb able to recognize your phone before recovery?

Mine didn't try to sync anymore either either until I rebooted the computer. Now it's back to business as usual.

Maybe that recovery is just compatible with the unrevoked method (or at least on phones that nstalled the OTA).

well i did the unrevoked method, but i decided to go ahead and do toasts method. i'm stuck here:

"6) When you select bootloader, it will show you more options. Don't pick anything at this time, just wait. It will read your storage card. This takes about 30secs and there is a progress bar on the top right. It's reading the PC36IMG.zip file you placed on the card."

its been sitting here for 5 minutes and its not asking me anything about updating or anything.

any sugestions?

EDIT: i coppied everything to my 8 gig card that they gave me, and now the rooting part is working, weird...

I guess ppcg, xda-devs and all of the hacking/tweaking/customizing communities are in trouble eh?

BTW, what does rooting; giving yourself superuser/administrator access to your own phone have to do with "Selling Pirated Software on Craigslist"?

dude they were selling pirated software, you don't think thats illegal? you didn't have to post this. they didn't get arrested for making cabs and roots, lol. what they were doing is extremely illegal and should be common sense.

im another user having trouble with the "windows-recovery.bat" portion. i ran command prompt with admin rights, ran the adb recovery command and got to the screen with red triangle and exclamation point.

i have rooted using unrevoked as well and attached is the error i get when trying to run "windows-recovery.bat"

am i missing something?

Okay, so I guess the question is:
Has anyone actually been successful with the recovery if they rooted using the unrevoked method, on a device that has the OTA update? I'm seeing a lot of people that couldn't get it to work (me being one of them). I am seeing people say it worked for them, but I haven't seen anyone specify that they were using the unrevoked method on a device that has the OTA installed.

I got that same error last night on my wife's phone. Her phone had not been rooted yet.
Just to see what would happen, I did the OTA and used unrevoked on her phone.
When I tried to go to recovery, I had the same issue.
I disconnected the phone, rebooted the pc, then connected the phone using HTC Sync and tried the .bat file again and it worked.
Then I was able to flash OMJ's rom.

I did it last night. The truth is, it's probably easier just to downgrade.
Basically you flash the latest signed rom, then you flash the original signed rom. Then you're back to square 1. Just follow my directions afterwards.

FYI - I'm recording a video of this process. Will be up later tonight hopefully.

A video is exactly what we need. That would be very much appreciated...
