These instructions have you check the "build number" when getting started. My phone's build is "CRC1". Can I still follow these steps? If not, can anyone provide me with a link to the instructions I need? I'm pretty much sold on going root. These instructions have you check the “build number” when getting started.

FYI, I couldn't find another SD, so I did some hunting, and found a method that worked without the error.

A bit more involved than what you outlined, but somehow gets around the problem some of us seem to have with the “rm failed for -f, No such file or directory” error.

Best!

Just curious how that might impact access to a directory that is on the phone, not on the SD?

Appreciate the help. It never ceases to amaze me how much time is put into the community by guys like you that know so much more than the rest of us! :)

Try using a different SD Card if you have one. I remember I ran through some problems at that stage. Try using a different SD Card if you have one.

I have rolled back to RC29 3 times now, with the same result once I get into telnet.

How was this solved? Many thanks in advance for your help.

Is there any way known way (without installing payed applications) to terminate unused application, besides turn off/on the phone?

And also, may be you know anything about possible support for ad hoc networks in future android versions? So far, afaik, it can work only with access points and can't see any ad hoc networks…

Thanks for any advise!
Leo
