			* Boot while holding power key and center key
			* Pick fast boot, which will fail b/c it can't find a file
			* Pick recovery
			* Phone will reach ! triangle screen

			This is the tricky part: you're trying to get the phone into recovery mode while connected to the computer.

			This will allow you to push a special update.zip to the memory card and apply the update, which is actually something that will root your phone.

			Then you can launch the adb shell:

			<pre>
			> cd\
			> cd sdk
			> cd platform-tools
			> adb shell
			</pre>

			[[Image:droidroot7.png\|350px]]

			The desired message is "error: device not found". This is good.



			9. Make sure your phone is disconnected. Power it down. Hold down the trackball button (on the bottom, in the center) and the power button together. Release when the phone screen turns on.

			10. Wait '''10 seconds''' and connect your phone to the computer with the USB cable.

			11. Wait '''10 seconds''' (approximately) while the drivers are automatically installed.

			12. Press the power button to execute the Android's "FASTBOOT" option (it's already selected). It will give an error, because it is looking for a file that it cannot find on the memory card. This is expected/good.

			(If the Windows device driver popup gives an error, this is OK.)

			13. Hit the Volume Down key to pick the Android's "RECOVERY" option, and press the power button to execute the option. The phone will vibrate, then restart. It should show an exclamation point next to a phone icon.

			(Again, if the Windows device driver popup gives an error, this is OK.)

			14. What you want is to run the "adb shell" command and have the "Device not found" message go away. There are two methods for doing this:

			a) Keep running adb shell after the phone icon with the red exclamation point appears on the screen. If you are lucky you will see a message like "Device offline" or "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory".

			b) If the above does not work, turn off the phone, then hold the Volume Down and Power buttons until it turns on. It will fail again with the "FASTBOOT" option. Once it fails, press ''and hold'' Volume Down and Power. At this point, you will want to start running loop.bat, which contains the following:

			<pre>
			@ECHO OFF
			:TOP
			adb shell
			goto TOP
			</pre>

			This should eventually change from "Device not found" to "Device offline" or "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory". Once this happens, you're good to go. Press Control + C to kill the loop.

			15. Hold Volume Up and Power buttons, which brings up a System Recovery menu, which is at the top of the screen in blue text. Select the second option, "Apply sdcard:update.zip", using Volume Down to select the second option and the Power button to execute it. This should fail with an error, with text in yellow in the middle of the screen. This fails because there is no "update.zip" file on your sdcard. That's expected/good.

			16. Execute 1.bat, which will upload some files. The contents of 1.bat are:

			<pre>
			adb push payload-update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

			adb shell
			su
			export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin
			cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
			cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
			ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
			chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
			reboot
			</pre>
