Can't Root - G300

[Guest melonguy]

So I've decided I want to root my g300 because stock ICS sucks soooooo bad

Er, you haven't what goes wrong - e.g. what error(s) etc.?!

If Windows 8 is the problem (not sure) then you could always try a live Linux CD and use the Linux approach?

The command windows open, on the huaweig300 it says device not found or multiple devices before finishing and not working, whike the one on this website opens then closes very quickly so I'm not sure really what happens. I have tried the first one on a slow-ass xp laptop (40gb HDD and 1 GB of ram, baby!) to no avail

Don't run it from Windows Explorer. 

Open a command shell (Windows Key + R and then enter cmd.exe), cd (change dir) to the folder containing the utility and run it interactively so you can see the output.

Try a different USB port?

Seems to have done the trick here anyway...

I used the huaweig300 method with the other usb port (usb 2, not 3, on the back of my pc) and result!!! Thanks dalyer  :D

Great! Glad it helped. :D

 

But if you're also unlocking the bootloader don't do it the huaweig300.com way - use the tutorial or DC unlocker to do an official unlock to avoid 3G reboots and maybe other problems...
