[Q] Cannot Root the HTC Legend

Hi Guys,
I have a bit of a problem, I want to install a custom rom on my HTC Legend. But I am a kinda noobish. I followed a couple tutorials from a site called hxxp://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-legend There it says that I have to downgrade my HTC Legend to 1.31. Before the downgrading proces you have to make a goldcard, I am managed to make one. But I get stuck with the Downgrading
It says I have to follow these couple things
III. Make Phone Downgrade-able
1. On your phone, make sure that USB Debugging is checked ON in Settings > Applications > Development.
Done
2. Plug in your phone and make sure it is connected as Charge Only NOT Disk Drive or something else.
Done
3. Download the Downgrading Tools and extract them to your AndroidSDK\tools\ folder (all of the files need to be in the tools folder with adb).
Done
4. Open a command prompt on your computer by clicking on the Start button and typing cmd and hitting enter in the search box.
Done
5. In the command prompt, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools\
crackin.bat
Done
6. The phone will reboot 5 times, be patient.
Done
7. After it is done, you will see a bunch of error messages, that is normal.
Done
8. Look for the following line, if you see it (the date and time can be different)
you are ready to continue, if not then reboot your phone, factory reset it, and try again:
crwxrwxrwx 1 1001 2002 90, 0 Jul 19 16:19 /dev/mtd/mtd0
This part doesnt work for me! This is what I get in CMD.exe:

PLEASE HELP!

One x root and windows 8?

So i'm trying to root the one x and all of the driver links do not work probably because i'm on windows 8. I tried to use other's drivers by manually installing them in device manager however it still gets stuck at the starting daemon phase. The only time it got past the starting daemon it spammed no permission and file already exists. Anyone like to help me? If you just want to call me a noob do that but help is appreciated.

I changed computers to a mac, just to switch it up a bit, used the method at onexroot.com since it's the only method i can find for mac and i get this

Any idea?

Did you see this on that thread?
"KINDLY NOTE: LATEST .62 FW CANNOT BE ROOTED"
If you want to root, you must flash your phone with a rootable firmware. Anything post 62 are rootable. This tutorial explains how to downgrade and root your phone http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/root-your-xperia-phone-without-voiding-warranty/

I have managed to root my Xperia Ray ST18i while I had .62 version of gingerbread installed but it requires an unlocked bootloader.
mahmood.n if you are not concerned with your warranty and just want to root the phone then you can follow the previous link or search the Sony Support forum for a post titled:

[Q] DROID 4 Utility XT894 Jellybean -- Windows + Mac + Linux (All In One!)
