Sucessfull Rooting
Thanks to all who posted, and danifunker. Apologies for asking a question previously answered on the post. Now I know to read ENTIRE posts before attempting anything I figured I should post my results in case it might help anyone as your posts have helped me.
My major issue, after realizing danifunker was taking about a script command in step 3 (see previous post ), was that kobo vox did not appear under unknown devices in device manager. My vox did appear under disk drives (3 instances) but it would not let me change driver (driver up to date message). 1. I followed Tordre's advice and uninstalled mass storage device under USB controllers. 2. Unplugged and re-attached my kobo and it appeared under unknown devices (K080). 3.I followed the video posted by danifunker to force install driver. 4. re-booted my pc. 5. ran runme.bat file. 6. opened Oogle Vox on my Vox. 7. Oogle Vox then confirmed rooting and allowed installation of Google framework!! Thanks to all, especially danifunker I appreciate your hard work. |

Device type?
When i go looking for "Device type", ADB interface is not listed! I am running Win 7 & I made the .android directory & put in the adb ini file.
Any suggestions? |

Hello there,
I just can't seem to get this driver thing to work. I uninstall the USB Mass Storage under USB Controllers and unplug my Vox. Then I plug it back in and Windows 7 just reinstalls everything without giving me a chance to do anything. I also tried it under VM Player in XP, and even though it showed up under Unknown devices, it wouldn't detect any of the drivers in the folder. Windows 7 let me install ADB ONCE, but after restarting my PC the bat file wouldn't work. What should I do now? |

Hi. I'm getting the following error when I run the bat file. The system cannot find the path specified.
I am running Windows 7 Professional x64. Please see the screenshot. Thanks for any help on this issue. Last edited by Dan690; 04-08-2012 at 12:31 PM. |

HELP, HELP, HELP!!
Hi danifunker,
I tried to root my Kobo Vox and it doesn't work... Here's what I think... I could do the steps 1 to 8 without any problem but when I try to root it, it starts and then says: Waiting for device... and all... I did check USB debugging and all... The only trouble is with the two following steps: 3) Make a new folder in your user profile ( %USERPROFILE% ) and call it .android 4) Copy the file adb_usb.ini to the new .android folder Actually, I think I didn't do it the good way... In fact, I honestly don't understand how to do it... I tried some things and read the previous posts but I still can't do it... I think maybe here's the reason why the rooting doesn't work... I already spent too much time on that (a couple of hours!!!) so I'm really asking for your help... Could you please explain me how to do the steps 3 and 4?? Thank you so much, I read that it worked for a lot of people so I hope it will work for me! P.S: I'm using Windows 7 64 bits. |

I'm assuming that you can't create the .android folder in your Windows profile, so run s command prompt start - run - cmd Then do the following commands: 1) cd %USERPROFILE% 2) md .android Once the folder is created, try following step 4 again. Good luck! |
