Okay, before I start getting flammed for being a noob, I have rooted android phones successfully since the OGDroid, and never had any issues. I am no noob to rooting and such. But here is my problem:
I have followed the rules in this thread BY THE TEE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20135183#post20135183
The last post in the thread doesn't give ANY links what so ever to the files he's talking about, but following the OP directions, the phone does not stay in HBoot to downgrade it, as soon as the zergs send and the phone reboots, it auto reboots again. FAST BOOT is off, Debug is on, Drivers are installed CORRECTLY, no Sync software or itunes even has ever been installed on this computer. But I run the tool as admin, including the hack-vivow.cmd and it completes, but doesn't do anything to the phone. Help?
Oh, and I will mention, no SD card. Old replacement took it with it when it fried it. So, no external SD card, but that never stopped me from rooting ANY other android phone.

You mention nothing of having the Android SDK Manger installed, we need more information then what you gave us. Many many people have had zero problems using this including myself multiuple times on windows 7 64bit which seems to be the biggest P.I.T.A. so hopefully I can help you get some root, cos without it, the phone suckkks. lol. Root 4 life.
I have had a dinc 2 sitting around for about 3 months and I finally decided to downgrade it yesterday. Long story short I did everything u did and followed to a TEE and no go. Then I realized I had no SD. As soon as I put one in......Viola, it worked

Same here. Just got a replacement after my power button stopped working. New dinc2 had .98. As soon as I realized I took my SD card out put it back in and it worked then.

I do indeed concur with manwithadroid, I tried this procedure for days before realizing that I didn't have an SD card. I only realized it at that point because I tried to take a picture of my dogs playing and it wouldn't save, then.....it hit me.
OP, I would almost guarantee this would fix your problem.

Part of the revolutionary root process writes a file called ".17 somethingorother" to the sdcard. Seems like I've never rooted a phone without an sdcard, because alot of the processes and apps require you to place some .zip file on the root of the sdcard.
To lead off with "before anybody flames me for being a noob..." comes off pretty arrogant, and implies that you know it all anyway, so why should anybody help out?
Fwiw, I had zero issues following the same guide, and I can guarantee the links are there.

SD card method of rooting is well known to the manufactures and that is why the newer PPCs and tablet devices are bieng "AppHoleIzed" as in Denial of User Up Gradable Storage.
That is the main reason that I will have nothing to do with the GNex.
Even the XTC clip requires the Micro SD card.
All the BS from manufactures about allowing root, just means that pay just enough attention to the forums to find ways to con us into thinking that is what they "will" do. Yea wight...
That's the main reason Willies' P Hone 7 is not doing as well as WinMo phones.
Check the forums, WinMo is doing more with an End Of Life OS then AppHole has done since the beginning.
SamSkum is going to find real soon that MOST people are NOT going to put up with a device that is locked down and so loaded with Operator Bloat that it sucks the data that now cost so much.
Root IS a vital option for people that want to actually use a device for productivity AND entertainment.
Corporate greed is going to bite them in the ass so bad they will start looking like QWest when they had to sellout the wireless just to stay afloat.
Live n learn.
I'm having the exact same problem. I followed all of the original instructions. The code runs and it claims to have rebooted but upon rebooting it still stays 2.3.4. Can someone take a look at the code from the Command Window and see what the issue is?
XDA won't let me post links since I'm a new user but I'll post the exact code here.

I see a lot of people are having trouble downgrading from .98 HBoot, I was also one of those people.
For people that keep getting "error 43" or "error 99" this could potentially fix your problem.
First, I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990&highlight=downgrade
Then, I watched this video because sometimes seeing someone do it visually helps me out a little more.
http:// http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCgIYFGcVimU&v=CgIYFGcVimU&gl=US
For some reason, even after following these two things, I was still getting those errors. I decided to move the script file (vwhk folder) out of the C:/ location to the actual Platform-tools folder, located in Android-SDK folder.
For me its, C:/android-sdk/platform-tools
Finally, after taking all these steps, I did some more digging around and found out that putting the phone into the bootloader through ADB is what I needed to do, if the regular way wasn't working.
To do this, simply type in "adb reboot bootloader".
Then take the steps to to run the script.
This is what I typed in. (It maybe different for you depending how you have it set up.)
1. cd c:\
2. cd android-sdk
3. cd platform-tools
4. vwhk (hit tab, as it will auto-fill)
5. hack (hit tab again)
6. Sit back and enjoy.

What firmware you on? If it's 6.01.605.05, use the Tacoroot method here.
So I'm using the guide from Android Forums to downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3. I've been following all of the directions and the final .cmd script appears to be running fine, but when it ends up rebooting, I'm always running 2.3.4. I've tried it on two different computers and it still doesn't work. I can't post outside links, but I'll post the actual code that is running in the command window. I have all my drivers installed correctly (according to my Device Manager on Windows 7), and my phone has USB debugging, Fast boot off, and Charge only on.

Hello,
Trying to root my first phone and downgrade it following the directions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990) very precisely...or so I thought. I keep getting an error at the second to last command when the rom actually gets flashed. Google has turned up several threads but those remedies don't seem to apply here. I'll give you my phone details as it stands right now.

So this may be redundant but I'm going to paste every command and the results.

So I have tried to root this device for about 5 hours now and I am at the end of my rope... I have downloaded and used the tool provided by rootjunkie to root this device. I get to the point where it tried to inject the root and this is the result of that....
any help would be lovely, as my kindle now has supersu but it says my binary needs to be updated and when I use root check it shows I am not rooted... Thanks for the help in advance from a noobie.
The following is in my command prompt:
