This may sound basic but did you unzip asroot2? when I downloaded it... it was zipped up.

can you get into the unlockr site? if so could you copy and paste the instructinos heree?

Has to be a zip to attach a file I tried.. you can download winzip online, it will be a trial but it will get the job done.. if you having issues unzipping then shoot me a pm with your email and ill send it to ya.

I also was having problems with that site so this is one I used..

Anybody know, if you root your phone (and don't have a custom ROM on it) can you still apply any official upgrade that Sprint/HTC offers up??

I think we should create a designated tut thread for rooting and flashing. Just a thought..
