Rooting pulse after december update

[Guest nagylebowski]

Hi folks,

I've just decided to root my T-mobile Pulse, but sadly I noticed that there is a new version of software, and I've installed it. Now I've read tons of tutors and forums looking for some way to root my phone, but whatever I do it just doesn't work.

Can you give a clear answer what should I do? I can't reinstall the original software either. Is rooting possible for me, or just throw my brand new piece of -plastic- to the river? Thanx

firstly, superboot and hence rooting is currently incompatible with the december update, i dont know why, but, its not! however, this isnt realy an issue. im assuming your reason for rooting the pulse is to install mcr? if so you do not need to root the phone, and once you have mcr installed you phone WILL have root access.

im not entirely sure, but from your post i take it that you had trouble tring to root it. i would suggest downloading the december update from tmobiles website, putting the dload folder on your sd card, and booting the phoen whilst holding volume up and end call, this will restore your pulse to factory settings. once you have done this and completed the initial set up, download the pulse recovery enviroment from here http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile...on-your-device/ and install it.

then download mcr v1.5 and the december patch from here http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile...t-mobile-style/ . place the two zip files on your sd card.

once you have done this, boot into the recovery enviroment from earlier by following the information in the last few posts here: http://android.modaco.com/content-page/294...om-rom/page/60/ . then install mcr and the december patch using flash zip from sd card.

once youve done all of that, you should end up with a rooted, apps2sd enabled pulse running mcr v1.5. ;)

thanks for the detailed answer, but my pc is f*cking around with the drivers and it hasn't been recognised my phone, but when this is done, I'll probably try how you just said, thank you

my pc is f*cking around with the drivers and it hasn't been recognised my phone

regedit.exe

search for 'huawei' and delete all corresponding keys

reboot

run setup.exe from the CD to install PC Suite & drivers

OR

extract the drivers from the CD using 7-zip

connect the phone and manually locate the drivers

okay, doesn't work, if I don't install superboot it can boot and works okay,i installed the recovery tool but quckboot says i have no root access... Any other guess?

jan m: The problem is that there is no compatible driver for my system (win7 intel 64bit), but i tried how you adviced, but did nothing, just turned t-mobile 3g phone into unrecognized device, but no prob with xp it recognised well.

you dont need quick boot to get into the recovery menu. this confused me at first to. once installed the revovery image , turn off your phone, and then press the power button whilst holding down the menu and end call buttons, this will take you into the revover menu from there you can isntall mcr.

no recovery menu, just blue screen with the well-known texts. this is why i tried quickboot. recovery doesn't seem to be a problem for the phone's system, but rooting itself doesn't work for some reason.

You are pressing the wrong buttons, press "MENU + RED BUTTON" not "VOL - and RED BUTTON"

Thank you

Problem is quick boot requires root access and you need to get into recovery mode before you get root access?

If you have the december update applied and recovery image flashed then power on with menu and call end buttons held, no need to use quick boot.
