nearby 0 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) · Report post Hi all I've some how managed to install a CD drive on to my phone and now I can't root or install cwm every time I plug in the phone via usb this drive opens up stopping me from using Paul's one click root or cwm. Can anyone help me fix this? Edited May 15, 2012 by nearby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davidoff59 243 Posted May 15, 2012 · Report post Are you sure that's not the normal pop-up that always opens up. It should give options like open file to view folders etc. If so its completely normal. Root is done with the phone in bootloader mode, not with the phone powered on as per normal.

nearby 0 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) · Report post Hogweed that's what happens I think there are four files in it, and some how one is a CD drive with drivers. Do you know what this is? Edited May 15, 2012 by nearby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hogweed 70 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) · Report post It's the official phone drivers for windows. Appears if the phone is running with debug enabled. It is factory installed. Not something you added. Edited May 15, 2012 by Hogweed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davidoff59 243 Posted May 15, 2012 · Report post Have you pulled the battery before booting into bootloader mode? Also are you sure you are holding the buttons long enough. It can take approximately ten seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nearby 0 Posted May 15, 2012 · Report post Mealy I have those two drives too but only when I push the conect button under the little android man this other one comes up as soon as I connection the USB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nearby 0 Posted May 15, 2012 · Report post David Yes pulled the batteries out and waited before putting them back in. Pretty sure I'm doing it right cause I had rooted twice before once on the voda rom to remove the bloatware and again after installing the 886 rom. Will give it another when I get home.

Simon O 396 Posted May 16, 2012 · Report post Yes that's normal. Nothing to worry about and it certainly won't stop you rooting as long as you follow the instructions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
