This procedure does not work for me. Running Windows 7 (on VmWare Fusion 5.0.3). I have installed the Android ADT for Windows, am able to communicate with phone through USB-ddms. When I run the rooting “RunMe” batch file, and select choice ‘1’, I get many messages saying “The system cannot find the path specified”. I never see any messages on my phone (connected to USB of course), and the phone does not reboot.
Can anyone help me? Specifically, I see the the messages displayed below. Thanks, Tom
