Look at this part of the original post.

ADB replacement files Download:

Download and unzip file Place the conent of the folder; 3 files, in the Tb auto root folder...only the 3 files not the whole folder, this will replace the 3 old files

There is a download link there. vfollow those instructions and you'll be good to go.

 

[cdiddy4224]

well i went to ADB's site and they recommended checking taskmaster and killing adb. I had 3 instances running, killed 2 and all of a sudden it started running again.

THe program said phone is going to reboot, then something like a line and complete

Problem is i dont think it rooted successfully

Where would i pickup when trying to unroot with those files...start from the beginning?

 

[dhacker29]

I would just pick up from the beginning. it nay say can't push buaybox if it was successful the first time but it will keep going.

Has anyone used this since the ota update the other day?

i am trying now on my replacement TB. on my previous TB i used the manual method. On this one i get stuck on "pushing RUU" for about 6 minutes, then a bunch of messages appear in the dos screen but i cant catch it before it closes on me. so far unsuccessful. My TB has the most current ota update

WooHoo - it worked!

I just wanted to say that I used this method to root my post 7/8 update TBolt yesterday and it worked! I was nervous as hell as I have never rooted a phone before (although I rooted my NookColor months ago), but the OP was right - if you get all the downloads and follow the instructions on the screen TO THE LETTER, it works!

Now if I can just get this custom ROM thing down.....

With the auto UNroot if i have cyanogenmod 7 as a rom, do i need to take that rom off before using the auto unroot or even manual unroot?
