Rooting issues

[thablackphoenix]

I got an HTC shift a couple of days ago, and am trying to root it but have been unsuccessful. I am following the instructions here (More Detailed Perm Root Instructions - xda-developers) but when I access the phone with adb, I get a "permission denied" error from any command I type. I have the SDK, HTC Sync, and have the phone set to use USB debugging. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I'm right there with you man. I've tried it on different computers with XP, Windows 7 and Windows 7 64-bit but nothing has ever worked. So I decided to wait until there's a 1-click solution. But apparently no one seems to be working on that.

So, I'm stuck
