Sharks Script

OK, so here's my current test script that's going to later get integrated into a better few click wonder app I'm working with another guy on. The instructions and prerequisites for this to work are fairly straight forward.

Download script (the root.bat file and a few other)

How to use Sharks root.bat script

Extract the zip and place all files into the SAME folder as adb.exe. I have not included the appropriate PC36IMG.zip. Get it here. Leave the name as "eng-PC36IMG.zip". http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701835

Place that in the same directory as well.

Open a command prompt.

Run "root.bat"

If it hangs for more than 30 seconds with the browser ****, CTRL+C, yes to kill the bat and just run it again.

Follow the directions in my half ass'd echo statements. Your phone is going to reboot. It is then going to do a little **** and reboot into the boot loader. Select "bootloader" with the power button. Flash that ****.

The .bat is now done. Now take the last step and flash the recovery.img that will already be on the root of your sdcard.

To do this, after the PC36IMG flash:

Select fast boot wait for it to scan PC36IMG let it completely update then reboot reconenect and shell and following code!

Code:

adb shell

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

IMPORTANT If you get a message here about "not writing bad block", flash it again until you get 0 errors. I don't know how common it is, but personally my recovery has issues with flashing. Do NOT let that be a bad flash.

I have tested this on my own phone and only my own phone. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work, but at your own risk for anything.

Please let me know of any problems and please make sure you've followed the directions.
