I believe that you use the same file. At least that is the file the instructions say to use. Some users may come need adb drivers for win 7 64 so here you go.

This way is a pain in the a$$ just to do a down grade im gonna wait for them to make a way to root OTA 1.47 because this method of down grade makes me wanna break stuff

so just to see if i got the just of this, what he is doing in the video is down grading to our previous software before the update then installing the root then using the recovery method to reinstall the update so that it wont break the root method. Did i hit on the marker with that?

it is legit, the reason it has been posted anonymously is because there was a donation thread that was getting heated about a $600 dollar reward to whomever the dev was that cracked it first..

FYI - This method does work perfectly.
I just flashed my phone back to stock 1.32.651.1, did the OTA update to 1.32.651.6, then did the OTA update to 1.47.651.1.
Then I did the steps described on the XDA post and I am once again Full-rooted.
I'm currently re-writing the instructions to make it a little easier to follow. Nothing new really, just writing them in plain (android n00b) language like my other tutorial.

Thanks... I'm sure your instructions would be of much help to many.
