Yes I would greatly appreciate that

Very possible. The ideal situation is to extract the zip to a new folder by itself. Then move it to the root of your c drive on your pc. Open your cmd prompt to the new folder then run the .cmd file. You may want to also redownload the file and check the md5 to verify it.

Yep I'm on my DInc2.

fresh install of windows done the trick and my comp needed it anyways so it wasn't a big deal and everything was backed up i am now rooted

Excellent, so the process ran through like I had it listed or did you do something different? I want to know in case I need to edit anything in the first post.

Question: what is the difference in the 2.3.4 update over 2.3.3?

Also I already have adb set up on my computer does this affect the above instructions?

Some minor bug fixes and feature updates. Nothing so important your phone will stop working.

It shouldn't affect the process. Just run the cmd program and follow the steps. If you get the command lines right and the files properly extracted the entire process will run through automatically. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions and how it goes.

One more question before I root: is there a way to return to stock? I've already returned 2 phones to Verizon and cant risk it.

Going out on a limb I would say that running this process again after you have rooted would return you to 2.3.3 stock. I can't be 100% positive though. Guessing at it I would say that because it removes 2.3.4 and installs the 2.3.3 RUU, it would take you back to a stock unrooted state.

Maybe you can answer this: today I did all the above and rooted with revolutionary but didn't do CWM with revolutionary . I flashed it after accordingto directions in the xda guide. But when I boot in to recovery I just get stuck on the HTC screen till I pull the battery. Any ideas?

Are you holding down on the volume button while pressing the power button?

Yes, I'm running mikroms sense 3.5 with android 2.3.5. It is very nice and sense 3.5 has some really neat features. Only problem I've seen so far is that the USB debugging doesn't work. I haven't seen anything said about it being fixed yet either. Make absolutely sure you create a nandroid backup of your phone before you put any new roms on your phone.

Rooted. THanks for posting this.

Downloading Mik ROM but I am confused about version numbers.
I am downloading 4.0.2
What is this 1.0.1 that you are talking about?

Also I assume this is just like any other ROM install? Copy to SD Card and just do an install from within CWM, yes?
