Guest Paul Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 There is something i don't understand : The line adb reboot bootloader You need a rooted phone to do this normally. Or is there a special adb in Skate ? You don't need root to do that. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 You don't need root to do that. P Oki So you don't need the boot.img Just adb reboot bootloader And fastboot flash recovery And install a custom rom already rooted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Christian Edwards Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 There really should be a sticky that's just says. "Please be aware Rooting / Superuser / Custom Rom is not the same as SIM unlocking" How many times do you see people getting confused with it.

Guest Christian Edwards Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Despite not asking, the drivers didn't work in Windows (7 starter) until I'd done a reboot. After that it went as described. Thanks Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest redpola Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Struggling on a mac. USB debugging switched on, all disks ejected. The solution is to, frankly, badword about with USB disk mounting and unmounting. Most reliable is to turn off debug mode, turn on USB disk mode, eject USB disk, then go back and turn on debugging mode. If you get the warning OK/Cancel requester when turning on the debugging mode that seems to be the magic talisman to indicate that you have effected the appropriate mystic sigils to get to first base.
