Can't believe I made that grammar mistake. I'm normally the one who corrects other people!

Stay away from Windows XP. Start the guide from scratch on the Windows 7 computer. It should work as long as you make sure to follow every instruction.

Syntax error at line 1, unexpected '>' near 'You are 5 '.

Your instructions are great, however I'm stuck. I'm at the point of installing my rom. This is the one I've gone for.

Not sure whether I go for the full install or the repack?
Currently though, when I'm in CWM, I select 'install zip from sdcard' and all that happens is the tophat that's in the centre of the screen goes bold, but nothing else is shown on the screen. I don't get the option to select a file to install.
Hopefully it's just something that I haven't done! Thanks

you try it again in clockwork.if you want to save time ,download quick boot from the play store and use it to get to clockwork quicker .then use volume up and down to you get to where you want and select the home button in the middle .

At the moment, I don't have access to the play store.
None of the options in clockwork seem to do anything at all. Even selecting reboot, all results in the same thing. Blank screen with the 'tophat' in bold.

[wrtease]

take a screen shot hold volume down and press power at same time

[Tony5101]

Sorry  - don't know how to add a screenshot, but have taken a photo of the screen.
Essentially black screen with hat and orange circular arrows. This is the screen I get regardless of the option that is chosen.

Gabriel, the drivers for win xp are here. After the driver install (which can take up to ten mins) you can try this method, or you can try to use Paul's root tutorial and start from step 4.

And if you give up, the NZ ICS update (official sd update) is available here. I'm running it right now and its remarkably free of crap-ware.

Tony, it looks like you are pressing the wrong button - you are getting the blank screen because you are pressing the menu button. You have to press the home button, which is the one in the middle, as shown below:

From the photo he showed, he is definitely using a G300. The G330 doesn't have the silver edges.

all solved.

[seanspotatobusiness]

I used the rooting procedure described but don't get the Superuser app despite the procedure appearing to work as described. Repeating from step 7 doesn't make a difference (and can't really be expected to). Win 7 64-bit Home Premium.

I cant wait to turn five    ;D

Nice guide, wish it was here when I first started

Run it again and reboot your phone. I will update update the script tomorrow to auto reboot.

Thanks beggin.
With the help and patience of wrtease, managed to get things sorted...along with a huge amount of facepalming when I realised what I was doing wrong!

Hi, total newbie to Android here I admit, but quite familiar with Windows and Linux. I've got the same problem as seanspotatobusiness. Nothing happens when I run the g300.bat other than the display shown in the instructions. I have rebooted the phone but the superuser app is nowhere to be seen.

Edit - used this method:

and that worked fine.

Updated the root script. Hopefully this will fix the problem where Superuser does not show.

Also, bat scripts and zips removed for rooting, unlocking bootloader and installing clockworkmod. Replaced with single exe files that you can download and run. (Windows only)

RootG300.exe
BootloaderG300.exe
ClockworkG300.exe

If the new root method is still not working for anyone, please let me know, with details.
