I have rooted a DINC2 successfully in the past but for some reason I've been failing and it's VERY frustrating! I got my replacement phone 3-4 days ago and i've tried rooting it using the Revolutionary method and every time it gets stuck on "Waiting for fastboot"! No matter how many times i try it still does it. I've tried rebooting the computer and the phone, still doesnt work. My phone IS ON DEBUGGING MODE, charge only, fast boot is un checked, ive downloaded the driver, no anti virus program is running in the background and I am still having this problem! I have tried looking for the solution of this but nothing has been working, please help!
also i am using Windows Vista and I do not have access to another computer
You might be on firmware 6.*****
If so, you have to downgrade a little different way. There is a thread in development.
Are you running cmd as administrator?

This. I just got a replacement and it was on the most recent firmware. You have to downgrade using tacoroot method (or equivalent) first, then you'll be able to run Revolutionary.

unrevoked did not work on my mac? should i try it on pc..
1st time i tried it seemed like it was going threw and then said error failed to get root firmware is too new?
2nd and 3rd time i gets to waiting for system to settle and just hangs there.. with a black screen on my dinc and the htc unlock.. but the screen does not work.. can not slide the htc unlock.. ?
now what .. should i try it on a PC?
is there another / better way..
thank you
You can try from a pc. Youll just have to install the usb driver. What radio are you on and are you running froyo or gingerbread?

Froyo 2.2
baseband version 2.15.00.07.28 (radio?)
softwarenumber 3.26.605.1
is there a possibility that is just didnt work threw the mac..
(when i did threw the mac it was just one click and kept on going.. i didnt have to do anything, is that normal?)
is there another way besides unrevoked?
There 's only Unrevoked for the Incredible. Rooting via the Mac or Linux is a one click method. It is the easier method whereas rooting via PC requires you install drivers prior to rooting.
It took me a few tries when using Unrevoked on my friends Mac before it worked. I think my solution was a matter of plugging and unplugging it, selecting USB Debugging for it to work, OR redownloading unrevoked and restarting my friends Mac. It was so long ago that I don't remember why it didn't work initially but it worked the fourth attempt.
So I got the phone to show in adb with the drivers installed and everything. When unrevoked^3 loads, it goes through the process and reboots the phone into the boot loader but then when it's waiting for the phone to restart and try to flash the recovery it says failed and the phone still isn't rooted. Any ideas?

i had this same problem as you described setting up my dev phone. are you running a windows XP machine?
i tried to use unrevoked 3 on windows 7 but it wasnt working for me so i had to dig out my old pc that had windows xp and it worked.
I had the same issue with Windows 7. After trying many things I found that if I booted up in Safe Mode Unrevoked worked.

If you are on 2.3, i don't think they have a root exploit yet.

Hello everyone, before I say anything I want to apologize in advance if this is the wrong area of the forums for me to be posting this, but I'm kind of in a rush so I thought I'd ask some pro's 'cus I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. Anyway..
I just got my Samsung Epic replaced because it was screwing up, and I came home today and tried rooting it. I actually just got finished spending almost two hours trying to find out where I was going wrong, but came up with nothing. I downloaded the samsung drivers 32 bit for this hp mini lap top and installed them. I got the one click root exploit, extracted etc... So I run the exploit and when it says waiting for my phone to reconnect, it waits 60 seconds and says root could not be obtained after 60 seconds, make sure your phone is connected and try again if adb shell isn't root, reboot phone and run the script again or something like that. No matter what I do it ends up saying that my phone isn't connected but on my phone it clearly says that the usb is connected.
I don't know if this is common or not, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming your phone is on 2.3.5 gingerbread so oneclickroot doesn't work. You'll need to odin in a custom kernel and then odin in a custom recovery ie. Clockwork Mod or Acs Recovery. Once that's done just flash a custom Rom or just flash a superuser.zip. if you don't know how to do this search qbking on youtube best tutorials around.

Hey
I know this is a greatly discussed topic but I have been through countless threads and tried everything so please bear with me! Long story short, my phone is in a massive rut at the moment and nothing seems to get it out of bootloop (tried fastboot, odin etc; yes I'm not an expert at all but I'm not exactly a noob). Odin is/was my last hope and for some reason Windows XP seems to keep crashing it the minute I hit start. I read through numerous posts on the Galaxy Nexus forum and have also tried numerous other methods including trying to go back to stock via fastboot and toolkits, trying to flash .img files individually etc etc etc and I basically need all the help I can get if someone wouldn't mind? The phone does turn on to fastboot and is detected on toolkits and drivers are fine.
For those who need the info its a i9250 GSM maguro (UK version i.e. without google wallet) running JB 4.1.1. I did try to flash maguro ICS 4.0.4 and when I go into fastboot, the bootloader version has changed to PRIMELA03 whereas I'm sure JB isn't that but I may be wrong! The phone crashed 2 nights ago and ever since then it gets stuck in bootloop when switched on, the images are noisy and fuzzy as if the phone has some kind of virus and nothing flashes on it! Fastboot just crashes requiring a battery removal all the time. Odin crashes too so I cannot flash any other firmware. The phone is not rooted but the bootloader is unlocked and I have no SD card (obviously).
Sorry if I have posted in the wrong thread or done anything I shouldn't have -_- I just need help so someone PLEASE guide me in the right direction!
Thank you in advance!!
Update: I just tried to flash JB back over the bootloader version and it changed from PRIMELA03 to PRIMELC03 so the bootloader version does change however nothing else seems to flash!
Update 2: Think i finally managed to mess my phone up. Got the yellow exclamation mark triangle between a phone and pc -__- anyone have any insight on how to go around this? Everything I have read up has more or less got to do with all other variants of Gnex other than GSM!

Tried this last night, even now, OMAP works when the phone is connected and runs the .bat file perfectly however it has NO effect on the phone, as soon as I try to boot it just comes up with the > phone!PC < screen, however ODIN does detect the phone so I am convinced it isn't a full brick! Odin however doesn't go through the process of flashing it just says FAIL in red on top once I start the process because I cannot get the phone into download mode or fastboot.

Question from me, how did you get fastboot to work on your windows xp?
Keeps crashing as soon as I want to open it on mine

Well I didn't use the conventional way; I had a the Wugs nexus toolkit (Yes I know xda doesn't take kindly to toolkits but I only use it to launch the ADB command prompt cos I don't really know how to use the SDK toolkit method) from which I launched the command prompt and used fastboot commands through that to try flash .img files to the phone. Unfortunately it all failed even when I could access fastboot. Now Odin doesn't let me flash anything either; It just says failed.
Sorry if this doesn't answer your question but that's how I went about doing the whole fastboot bit If you mean it crashes when you open cmd maybe try launch cmd through Wugs?

Hello everyone
Got Nexus 7 (2013) few days ago and now tried to root manually (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382051)
and everything was fine untill I tried to flash TWRP in command (fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img) and flashing didn't end, had to close cmd or unplug USB to stop it, once unplugged it said "Too many links" or something like that, tried doing it bunch of times with older versions and what not, nothing worked.
Then found out about Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh and again, everything was fine, drivers checked and working, but once it got to the spot where it had to boot .img file it just never ended, as seen on tutorial videos it takes about half a second to load it, I waited for 10 minutes but nothing.

So I guess its something wrong with transfering files to Nexus 7 ? Even tho I was able to import few files to it before. Maybe something on my PC is blocking it ? :silly:
Frustrated and exhausted Would appreciate any help, Im new at android stuff so please detailed answers
Thanks.
