I don't have access to a laptop which makes everything extremely hard

Not sure if there is any other way, but the way I did it required a computer/laptop to fastboot flash a Custom recovery through adb

Unrooted back to rooted?

Hi, I'm in trouble here. I unrooted my phone back to stock and still have hboot still off. So i am doing the process of rooting again and when i open revolutionary exe and its asks for the generated key. I go to the website and generate one I put it in and its coming back as invalid. Is there anyway to fix this? Please help.

You're probably mistaking an 0 for an o, or a 1 for an I or something. I suggest copying and pasting.

What do you mean nothing happens? It won't paste, or still won't work after you paste?

Why can I find the root zip?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Just flash a recovery and then flash the su zip from recovery. You can easily find it in the developers section.
Here is the recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192077
Here is the SU: http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2....fgh-signed.zip

Installing the recovery and Su apk doesn't root my phone. I need the exploit I think.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
The exploit just gives you s-off. If the recovery installed and the su zip installed then you are good to go. You may want to try flashing the engineering hboot in the developers section.

I think you have to reboot after pressing install script and then reboot into recovery. You lost root?

I fed the panda to soff so I don't know about the method you used. But if you lost root you might have to re root. I'm not sure

Get quickboot from the market, its free. It has the option to bot into recovery. Saves wear on the buttons as well.

Thanks guys for all the help.
For anyone in the same situation I ended up using regaw's rooter. Worked like a charm.

The kernel needs to be flashed separately using boot image flasher, uniflash or using the fastboot command line

What hboot do you have? Do you have the supersu app installed? If you open it, it should ask you to update if it needs it.

Yes... If you have the Supersu app, just open it... If the binary is outdated, it will prompt out for asking you to update... If not, go to its settings to update...

Updating firmware: how would I go about it?

I'm running the latest CM10.1 and was wondering how exactly I could update my firmware to 3.16 with the new touch panel version (which I hear is much better and more precise) how would I update it? Would I lose root and have to reroot? Would it wipe my ROM?

You do not need to unroot your phone, and you will not wipe any data from your phone. You must be S-off to update firmware, however.

Just to be sure, I would just download the whole zip, rename and flash? I was thinking I would have to delete the recovery file it gives for the stock version them flash?

Download the file you wish to flash. Rename it PJ75IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension on the end or it will fail). Put the file on the root of your external SD card. Reboot to the bootloader. If the bootloader doesn't look for the file automatically, select the option to reboot bootloader. Follow the on-screen prompts to update, then reboot once you're done
