Can't root my OMC


Recommended Posts

OK this is the third and last phone (unless my wife decide to have one too), I managed to do the other thanks to the help of some of you (thanks Wackie again). You would think that I should know by now but I am stuck on this one

I have tried the following tutorial:

http://android.modac...-for-beginners/

http://android.modac...-the-zte-skate/

USB debugging is ticked, i re-installed driver for the handset, re-downloaded the files for both tutorials

I am running out of ideas. If anyone could help this would be great

When I am at it, on the other I have uploaded cyanogenmod 7 as Atomic is not working. Can someone recommend another stable/working ROM for the OMC?

Many thanks

JC

Easiest way is to install one of the TPTs here http://android.modac...zte-skate-tpts/ (probably option 2) and then once you reboot select your CM zip from the sd card and away you go

Are you willing to be a Guinea pig for my experiment? Because I may have a really easy way to root.

Sounds a bit scary.. :unsure:. Is there any risk, I don't want to brick the phone or something like that. But I am ready to listen.

You can install clockworkmod recovery first and then flash this trough clockworkmod:

That will also work on 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 :)

Or do one of the TPT's like mentioned above, it should be really easy and it installs clockworkmod for you...

its quite unlikely for anything to happen to your phone. I'll pm you soon about the details.

In the mean time you could try what Wacky says.

Thanks tilal, I have now installed clockworkmod, downloaded the file, how do I flash the file using CWM? Thanks again Wackie, you have been very helpful.

just flash it like any ROM :)

Edit: are you planning to stay at stock ROM? otherwise there is no point in rooting your stockROM first if that makes any sense... If you are going to install atomic or Cyanogenmod7 there is no point in rooting :)

Now I need to try a ROM that is stable and install easy (Atomic has not worked so far for me, I have CM7 on the other 2 phones). Any recommendation?

Also, I know I am complete noob, but I was thinking to put together a post that recap everything I have learnt and may help other noobs like me. Please Mods, could you advise if it is a good idea? Thanks again

Atomic should install just fine and is rock stable...

That's always a good idea, the clearer we can make these guides the better.
