problem rooting vodafone 845

[Guest moh1]

Hi,

I'M attempting to root VF845 using the superboot app for the pulse mini.

PC runs WINXP SP2 . Follwed instructions in the post but i cannot get past the 'waiting for device' on pc.

When the phone is on the usb connects fine and i am able to transfer files and use the pc suite.

But when i put phone in bootloader mode, nothing happens. just the hourglass screen.

I think that the usb driver not picking up the fone.

In bootloader mode it sometimes picks up an unknown device- android 1.0 device but cannot find the drivers to install,

even when searching the internet.

So far i've tried this on 2 computers but all with the same result.

If its a usb driver issue, is there anywhere i can download the proper driver?

Can anyone out there help?

Thanx.

you need to install the pc-suite first with the drivers. Then put your phone in download mode bij pussing end dial and volume down..

then connect trew usb after 5 sec and start superboot..

tried that. still wont work.

try removing the drivers and install them all over again?

Finally Success!

The only way to solve the driver issue was to do a clean install of Windows.

Then i installed the software suite and drivers.

From then on it was smooth sailing.

Now i have Mr Edition Rom on it.

Way much faster and less bloated than that vodafone crap!

Keep it up.
