Now if I try to see the current version and details through flashtool, the cursor does not move ahead of this -

22/015/2013 11:15:20 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

22/015/2013 11:15:20 - INFO - Flashtool Version 0.9.11.0 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00

22/015/2013 11:15:27 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

I am not understanding where I am wrong. Neither am able to root. Is it something to do with the Kernel version ?

Please help - I am new to this forum & android tricks so please give little more details
