HELP! Rooting!!!

In the rooting sticky it says:

"# After your phone starts up, hit the enter key twice, type "telnetd" and press enter. (Yes, it will start up a contact search, don't worry. Just type it.)"

I do this and nothing happens! I press enter twice, press t, and contacts show up. I finish typing telnetd, and after pressing enter it just shows my contacts list. Nothing happens after that?

nothing is supposed to happen

Then obviously... What's the point of typing it?...

Just move on to the next step, you'll see what it does later on down the line

Ok now I'm trying to get my phone upgraded to RC33. I downloaded the first link:

http://jf.odiness.com/v1.41/JFv1.41_...ronment.tar.gz

I renamed it to update.zip, put in on my SD card and reboot into recovery.

When I try to update, it says:

Installing from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad)
Installation aborted.

Press Home+Back to reboot

Hmm... So looking at the other links...

The second link actually has two files.

And the third has THREE. Hmm?

Which file(s) are actually needed? Which one of the three should be renamed "update.zip"?

When does this come into play? Before or after upgrading to RC33?

it is a good written guide, i have used it with no problems at all as i'm sure many others have as well. try re-downloading it and follow the directions if it complains again, maybe try another sdcard. Maybe a rooted phone isn't for you.

Did you update your radio or no?

Ok when you do the telnetd enter enter thing you just executing code in the background. The phone doesn't do anything because you are not suppose to be able to do that. But what you just did I believe is execute a program that or a server or something that allows you do connect using the telnet app. You are past this part, don't worry about it now.

The second part of your question:

Not sure about the file you are using but my guess is that you down load the .tar file and open it, inside is a .tar.gz file. don't upzip it again just rename that file update.zip.

You are not renaming the folders located inside that .tar.gz fille, you are renaming the .tar.gz file itself.
