I was just on a long public transit trip yesterday. I'm fairly certain constantly trying to re-download a 157mb zip file was the main culprit. Also, is Liberty a Gingerbread based rom? Am I correct in assuming that the CM7 in it's current DX state is a Froyo rom?

highme posted:Also, is Liberty a Gingerbread based rom? Am I correct in assuming that the CM7 in it's current DX state is a Froyo rom? Yeah, Liberty AOSP, Liberty GB, and Apex are all gingerbread based ROMs. CM7 and MIUI are Froyo. It's been stated that cvps is looking into making CM4DX a gingerbread based ROM, however he's limited by the fact that at the moment, 2nd-init only works with froyo. Not sure if/when he'll get over that one. I imagine it'd be a pretty huge accomplishment though because of the fact that there are so few root methods for gingerbread. Most require downgrade to froyo for known exploits.

I just tried to install via bootstrapper and I continually got errors and CM7 wouldn't install assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel") == 0 Error in /sdcard/cm_shadow_full-58.zip (Status 7) Any idea what that is all about Edit: I think I figured it out. I tried to install from a rooted gingerbread build instead of a rooted froyo build. I think I'll try a gingerbread rom instead dohminator fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Aug 13, 2011 |

Does anybody have a guide they've personally used with success to root the HTC Thunderbolt? I've been meaning to for a while, and have said no to all of Verizon's OTA updates. My specific question is, are there any issues with the OTA updates from Verizon after rooting? I've heard both that you can't root from the most recent OTA update, and that installing a new OTA update after rooting can break things. Does anybody know for sure what the best way to go about this is? Is there an update I should install after rooting? I've found this guide and this guide, but I haven't found anything conclusively saying what I should do about updates. My baseband version is still "1.16.00.0402w_1", build number is "1.13.506.7 CL341545 release-keys", Android version 2.2.1, kernel version 2.6.32.21-gb05544a. Thanks! Edit: I found this rooted update ROM that apparently I should install immediately after rooting, rather than accepting an OTA update. Can anybody point me to some instructions on how I can do that safely? Has anybody done this to their Thunderbolt? Thanks! I see some guides for installing a ROM but this appears to be ROM and radio, and I can't find a guide on how to install those together -- if I install one and not the other, couldn't that break things? schnarf fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Aug 13, 2011 |

I followed the second guide you linked and had no problems at all. Before rooting, I'd downloaded the most recent OTA at the time (MR2) so if they haven't pushed any since then, that would be the OTA trying to install on your phone. The process pretty much leaves you with MR1 rooted so if you OTA update before rooting like I did, you won't get any data because you'll be on MR1 with the MR2 radio. To fix this, either flash the MR1 radio, flash a rooted MR2 ROM, or flash a custom ROM like CM7 or OMFGB (haven't tried the latter but it seems popular). Good luck! VVV - Correct.

Haven't seen any reports of irreparable problems, I helped my roommate root his a few hours ago with zero pain. If on Windows, install Android SDK and the HTC Sync driver. Enable USB Debugging on the phone. Plug in phone. Copy over recovery of choice, named PG86IMG.zip. Copy over superuser zip or ROM of choice, as preferred. Run Revolution. Enter key generated from Revolution site. Wait while Revolution does it's thing with the bootloader. Reboot holding vol- Wait while bootloader installs recovery. Boot to recovery. Back up if desired, flash superuser or ROM of choice. Done. It didn't work via Windows in VMware on a Macbook Pro, but I think that was VMware's fault.

When you have gone through that process you wind up with the MR1 radio on a rooted rom. You can then independently flash the MR2 radio that went out in an OTA last month, there is an image file on one of the XDA radio threads. After that you can flash one of the MR2 dependent ROMs. If you boot a ROM that is incompatible with your radio firmware all that happens is you have no cell service. It won't ruin your phone.

Under pressure from my fiancee I opted to return my Dinc2, which I wasn't having fun with anyways due to lack of rootability, and instead got a Nook Color to gently caress with. I'm returning to ED05 debloat/debing ROMs on my resurrected Fascinate because I killed an SD card with CM7 and don't trust it until the nightlies are all clear (edit: also I use my flashlight a lot). So we'll see what happens. Meanwhile, time to gently caress around on a NC and see what I can make it do.

I'm all set, thanks all for your help rooting my Thunderbolt! For anybody who ends up in my position, here's what I did that worked: I followed this guide, and downloaded this rooted update. After following the guide for rooting, I installed ClockworkMod Recovery and immediately made a backup, which I ended up being very glad about. Then what ultimately ended up working was putting both the ROM and radio updates on the SD card, making sure to name the radio update "PG05IMG.zip", but calling the ROM whatever. I first flashed the radio update through the bootloader, not recovery -- I first tried flashing the radio through ClockworkMod Recovery and kept getting "Installation aborted", and it turned out that the radio update needs to be done through the bootloader. Then I rebooted again to ClockworkMod Recovery (adb reboot recovery, or reboot to the bootloader then choose "recovery"), and had it install the ROM update. Things seem to be working now! schnarf fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Aug 13, 2011 |

But you can always sbf (sfb???) Back to froyo and root then. Google something like Droid x sbf and you'll get pointed in the right direction.

Todd posted:Has anyone else had any issues rooting the DROID x after 2.3? I can't seem to find a working root... Like someone else said, you'll have to sbf back to froyo to root it, then upgrade packages through ROMs. Really easy to do, just be sure you check which bootloader you have to get the proper sbf file. You can check it by holding the down volume and camera button while powering on. It'll say either 30.03 or 30.04, so just download the appropriate sbf. Once you're sbf'd back to froyo, run z4root for root access and droid 2 bootloader for recovery. From their either load up the 2 package GB root ROM or CM7/MIUI. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-rooted-help/100038-complete-droid-x-sbf-flashing-guide.html

That was my likely candidate for the problem, it seems like the phone changed device IDs a few times thus breaking VMware's automatic reattachment of the device. We got it reattached manually within a second or two every time, but apparently that wasn't fast enough.

Surprised this hasn't been posted. Someone went through the Google Video code and removed the scans for Root access, so now rooted users can purchase videos. Link: http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=16930.0 Doesn't seem like there is a cleaned Tablet version. I was considering purchasing a video to test on my Tablet, (can't due to lack of cleaned APK) and most of the comments in the videos section is rather horrid. Tons of 1 starred movies due to all sorts of issues.

My girlfriend has a Kyocera/Sanyo Zio from Cricket, and she's having trouble keeping apps on her phone (or a lot of other content, for that matter) because some apps won't install to her SD card. The phone only has 200MB of space built-in, but includes the SD card so you can add space for music and (supposedly) apps. However, she can't fill her 8GB SD card because a lot of apps won't install there. Will rooting this phone help me diagnose and fix this problem, or is this something that is built-in to Android itself?

So I'm about to perm-root my Evo3D using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192525 I already temp-rooted a few weeks ago just to try it out and I have TI backup already installed. Will this also backup my texts/contacts/etc? Titanium basically just mentions apps. Do I even need to worry about the other stuff? I had previously rooted my gf's HTC Aria but I didn't worry too much about backing stuff up because it was a completely clean phone with none of her data on it yet so I just want to make sure I don't lose anything, also that root method has been around for a while so I figured all the kinks have been worked out for that phone. Might not be the case for the 3D. Also, are there any good sense-based roms? Every one posted on XDA seems to be hellbent on removing every bit of Sense on the thing while, since it's my first Android phone I actually kinda like it. I threw CM7 on my gf's Aria after reading about so much praise for the rom and thought it was quite ugly actually (as did she, so she promptly made me flash something else). Or should I just stick to rooted stock when I take the plunge? FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Aug 14, 2011 |

For your personal data (contacts/texts/etc), you can either sync them via your Google Account, or do an export to your microSD through the specific apps, then copy your SD card contents to your PC as an additional failsafe.

I dunno, a quick glance through the ROMs list seems to indicate that there are a few ROMs there that are mainly Evo 3D stock with some performance tweaks. You can always give those a try. Of course, all pre-custom ROM warnings apply (set up recovery, nandroid backups, etc.).
