Also if you are going for a virtual method, if you are using windows 7 pro or ultimate you could use XP mode that is free you don't need to worry about getting an XP license (provided for free from microsoft), and has USB emulation mode. EDIT Just tried to get it working on windows 7 again and it worked. I went into the device manager and uninstalled the mass storage device with the kobo vendor ID 0x2237, then when I plugged it back in it caused windows to re-install all the drivers for the device including the ADB drivers. You need to have the device plugged in to uninstall its drivers. muskiestallker try this. Speculation I have a feeling this is occurring because of certain android phone manufacturers improperly installing drivers. Last edited by Tordre; 03-18-2012 at 12:17 AM.

Tordre I tried what you suggested, when I plug the Kobo back in, I get the Kobo listed 3 times.
I then run the runme and it says ----Starting ------ ----Waiting for Device C:\Temp\ZergRush-forKobo\zergrush>files\adb wait-for-device and that's it, nothing happens. |

muskiestallker could you show me the Universal Serial Bus Controllers (expand the bottom category)? Did you uninstall the mass storage entry in there?

If you just remove the entry called "USB Mass Storage Device" in the last section, (right-click uninstall) The next time you plug it in it should search for new drivers for everything giving you a chance to install the drivers provided. |

Hey all,
First time post, Yes I am a noob. I have been following the development of Oogle Vox an I am desperately trying to install on my Kobo to make the useless thing have some kind of functionality. I have manged to install Oogle Vox however I cannot successfully root my device. I understand the majority of your instructions but I am at a loss for step 3. Is this a directory on the kobo vox ( %USERPROFILE% )? If so I cannot locate it. Obviously I am missing some critical information. Any help or advise is greatly appreciated. |

The easiest thing to do is click on start -> run -> cmd a DOS window will appear. exclude the quotes from the following commands... Type "cd %USERPROFILE%" then press enter. Next, type "md .android" then press enter. then type "exit" and press enter. now, press start -> run and type in "%userprofile%\.android" (no quotes) drop the file adb_usb.ini into this folder. Good luck! |
