Hi
I have read over and over again on how to root and still not understand it. I read wiki and for some reason I dont know if its my computer or my phone anyway I would really really appreciate any help you can give a noob. I have downloaded the froyo eco5. And it stinks and I would really like to learn how to install a custom rom. I used to be able to do it on my Samsung Omnia but that was easier. Im going to be on all afternoon so if someone has the time I would really appreciate it
Thanks
Jeff
Well if u want to root there's a 1 click root in the dev section I would say do the one with clockworkmod 3.0.0.6 it converts u to ext4 and most roms now require clockworkmod 3 anyways. Make sure u read good and have a rom ready to flash cuz if u do cwm3 when u first boot into recovery it will convert u to ext4 and u have to flash a rom right afther its done. DO NOT REBOOT THE PHONE until u flash the rom that is very important. Good luck buddy

Watch these videos, if you still can't get it just give up
Don't turn off your phone unless nothing is happening for at least 10 minutes, make sure you have USB debugging on in Settings>Applications>development and do not hit "Connect USB" when using one click root.

Ill buy your phone for $100
If you are running Windows 7:
Make sure you right click on Odin when you start it up and select run as admin. also, reboot your system and hit F8 to get the safe mode options, then select to disable driver signature enforcement. That made my Odin actually start working and flashing.

Ignore the lame-ass troll comments, If you want help and did not find in the stickies, then you will need to post more info in order for us to help you, need the things you have tried and what was the outcome, Then we can maybe help, but there is not enough info in this post to really help.

Meanwhile coming to the point, the first thing u shud try doing is flashing the milestone 2 sbf and restore ur phone to a working condition.

+1. The least one can do is put in some effort...
Anyhow, it surprises me someone decides to flash a custom rom, without even doing some research...
But yeah. Download the right SBF, download RSD and start flashing. Your Milestone 2 will get it's life back (assuming you've executed the whole process correctly...)

Please close this thread. Thanks....
Is it really this e z now?
Tried autoroot and it gave me some unknown error. Lets see what happens.
it is easy. I'm new to rooting and I did it with no problem. Just follow directions.
Thanks for reading the guide its so easy to do I have done it 6 times and help anyone out not hard at all so easy.
When using unrevoked it may say something about connection with the phone was interrupted when it reboots your phone after running the program. Dont worry its normal and now your fully rooted.
Can't go wrong if you need anything PM and I will guide you through it.

Cool man. This is about the most easy way to do things to root. It's simple to unroot to all of those other programs people say to use can be a pain in the ass to use lol.
Glad it's working for you flashing and rooting is confusing for new people and alot of people can be a bit rude when you ask for help. I been learning everything I can from reading and trial and error.
This is as easy as it gets just follow the directons on there site. Make sure you don't have Htc sync installed otherwise you will have issues.

If your not using a evo this method will not work for you. Check here to see if your phone is supported. This method listed here is for the evo.

Ya I have done it for many friends and help noobs out not hard at all only two steps. Unless the noob has htc scyn installed and didn't read that it will cause issues. lol.
This guide is easy as pie dunno what there isn't to like about it all the links are at bottom of page if you can't read the directons on there site that's your fault lol.
All it takes is two baby steps till your rooted
H boot driver and unrevoked 3 not hard at all is all it takes other methods it's a pain to unroot.
Unrooting is even eaiser.
This is the usb driver needed for WINDOW USER'S

Come on dude you've been here since almost the beginning and you can't use SuperOneClick?
You literally open it, plug your phone in, and hit root...
Or you could be a little more specific to your problem other than "it just doesn't work"
Come on man you did it once before(obviously) xP
