Guest xenos123 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) Well I'm stuck at the first hurdle! Anybody got a clue? Followed #3 in this guide.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189 Have a standard branded Orange UK handset. I think the problem may be 64 bit windows? I have also tried the root part on my mac and can't get it to do jack, typed 'cd **DROPFOLDERINTERMINALWINDOW**' to navigate to it in terminal and then running the .sh file it says it doesn't exist. Is it Linux live CD time or am I missing something obvious, I'm fairly satisfied it's not going to work at all on OS X. Thanks! Edited August 3, 2010 by xenos123

From that it also looks like you de-branded and took the recent Froyo OTA update, if that's the case then currently you have lost any chance of rooting. Edited August 3, 2010 by klutsh

It still boots fine I just can't get the damn Goldcard to work! Still on Orange 1.15.. Edited August 3, 2010 by xenos123

Save yourself a load of time and burn a ubuntu live cd, boot into that and run the linux method. Trust me, getting it to work on Windows x64 is just not worth the effort! :)

Guest xenos123 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the suggestions, I've downloaded a couple of guides and relevant files and will have a go when I'm away over the next few days! ..Hopefully by this time next week there will be a nice Modaco version of Froyo waiting for me :) Edited August 3, 2010 by xenos123
