i recently rooted my phone and when i try to upgrade anything on my phone from xda it cant. it is telling me that the updates are cancelled. when i first rooted my phone it had the green android icon but now it just comes up android in blue, is this a problem.
Sounds like you flashed a ROM with an alternate boot image (Cyanogen, maybe?). One of the most common mistakes that people make is assuming that the phone is not doing anything during the initial load, which takes a long, long time.
Do you have adb? If so type adb logcat while the phone is booting during the "blue logo." If you see the phone is loading up a bunch of stuff (and the stuff doesn't repeat itself), WAIT! After a while you will come to your home screen.
i do not know what adb is sorry for being so new to this. is this an application or etc... all i know is that i downloaded jf updater and everything changed to the way the phone was right before i rooted it.
thanks for helping

The blue android text during boot up is because you flashed an ADP ROM, this is normal, don't worry.
When you say an update what do you mean? Do you mean a ROM (update.zip) or the update t-mobile just pushed out? I assume you're talking about the latter, don't worry about that update, you don't need it.
Btw, what's with the green text? Kinda annoying to read...
sorry about the green. the rom upadate.zip and a update from jf updater. how do i correct this problem.

I'm not really sure what you're asking. To root just follow the guides in the development section..
sorry for any confusion
sorry for the confusion, if have already rooted the phone. I was just wondering what upgrades would you all advice me to get. For instance what are some good applications that everyone is using.
Good applications is really a personal prefrence. All I can say is play around and find the ones you like.

tell me what u are looking for. loking for a hero rom? they do run a bit laggy but it looks nice
or do u want speed and a different look.?
apps are a personal preference but my fav apps are phandroid, tech buzz for android news. atrackdog is a must have! use it daily to find updates for ur current apps since the default update notifier doesnt always work. ringdroid to make ring tones. and opera min..internet browser built for speed. u might think its gay at first but its speed is awesome and u just have to get used to it.
Personally, I would recommend you start by picking a good ROM to put on your phone (I recommend Cyanogen's)...then tweak and hack away XD

So, we have two reasons we haven't gotten this out yet:
1) We're pretty burned out at the moment,
2) And three of us now have full semesters of classes to deal with too. We've been focusing on other things.
I hope to get this out this weekend at the latest. But don't quote me on that. Even though it's printed in text right here.
I will update this thread when I have more information.
See you soon.

Why cant they just release it now
Thanx for the info!!

Because it involves work compiling, packaging and testing it so that it "just works". Behind the words "just works" lies a complex set of processes. Just hold tight, people have lives outside this place
They should take the time, better a good running root, as a ok running root with 1000 of questions afterwards.
Take you time, university is more important, and when its done, its done. I also appreciate your work and hope for a release soon.
Hurry up please
Hurry up please guys! You can not count how many folks are refreshing unrEVOked page again and again to see the new face on it!

Actually, yes they can, thanks count, regexp and those fancy apache logs :3
Backup everything
Hi
I assume the unrEVOked will install a new ROM on the phone, clearing all the data stored on it. So we have to make backup from the phone before rooting it (Is it true?)
So I tried to make the full backup. The best solutions available were the:
1. The Titanium Backup. It needs the BusyBox to be installed. I tried to install BusyBox on my wildfire which was already soft-rooted using MartinEve great work, but it made errors creating a folder under /system/xbin and failed. So Titanium Backup is not a solution now (Again, Is it true?)
2. The Nandroid Backup which is also a perfect tool, but I think it will not work again with the soft-root and needs the unrEVOked root ROM to be installed. (Is it true?)
Finally I have no idea to backup all the phone except simple tools like ASTRO file manager which makes a backup of all applications, etc.
Is there any better idea?
All the best
No idea what the best backup way is.
But unrevoked will not release a ROM.. they are just releasing a.. ehm dont know how to put it... a something that makes it possible to flash other ROMs to your phone

Hi,
No, the unrEVOked root will simply flash a custom recovery to your phone -- the main partition remains in-tact. That said, you might still want to do a backup using a 3rd party market app if you feel paranoid.
Thanks Martin.
By the way, end of week is so close, and still there are only 5 faces on the site. We are really waiting
done expect to much set ur hope a month forward and be happily suprised when its out erlier.

Hi,Anybody can help out?
I just ROOTED my wildfire based on Spearl's special gift for the weekend.
But i found it is still not possible to delete the original software.
Can anybody tell me how to delete it.
I would like to get into the scene of rooting my phone now and exploring what it can do. Maybe there's not much it can do that I am expecting, but I won't know what its all about until I do it and get familiar with it.
So I was wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me the best/maybe easiest method to root my phone? It is the HTC Hero with software build of 2.31.651.7 and Firmware version 2.1 -update1
If I am able to root it, which rom would you all suggest I try out as a noob? I don't really want the Sprint TV or Amazon MP3 bloatware. I would like to be able to keep stuff like my gmail, Androidd market, Sprint GPS iff it matters. I would also like to be able to do some customizing in a similar way like with Launcher Pro Plus.
Am I able to root, and if so, can someone help me to be able to root my phone today?
Thank you for your help and time,

If you want to theme (i.e. decompiling framework and rebuilding) you need a DeOdex rom.
GMail and the Market are in every rom and I am pretty sure Sprint GPS is installable from its apk.
But once you have root access you can get RootExplorer and Navigate to /System/App (if its in the same spot as the evo) and delete the bloatware from your stock rom.
I would also like to know the root method of choice for the Hero.
I need to root someone elses phone.

So when I install a custom rom, does it install the Sprint APK file for me, and then from that point I choose whether to install it or not? If that is the case, does it do this will all the default files and that is how you choose what you want to keep and delete?

Most roms have their bloatware removed and usually gets put in a folder on your SD card so you can install what the rom dev removed.
If you install an OTA based rom it will usually have the stock apps with some of the useless ones removed.
But if you use an AOSP rom, like Cyanogen, there wont be any HTC or Sprint apps.
It's really up to the rom dev to decide what they want in their rom.
Once you flash the new rom you can use RootExplorer or ADB to delete those apps that you don't want.
Is that what you were asking?
Also I found another root method:
SuperOneClick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Yes I think you answered it. Now I just need to know how to root, and what to do when I root to load a custom rom. I also need to find out which rom would be best for me to start out with?
Again, I would like to be able to load some of the default bloatware and rid the rest and then load up some programs from the apps market.
Thank you again,

I would recommend rooting and exploring your current stock rom first untill you feel comfortable with installing a recovery, nandroid backing up, using the recovery to wipe/flashing the new rom.
When I first rooted my phone I was told to
spend a week reading how to root.
Root my stock rom.
Spend a week reading about new roms and how to flash and backup.
THEN try to flash a new rom.
Asking "Which rom is best" usually will get you flamed, It comes down to personal preference.
Here is the wiki of roms for the hero:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=CDMA_Hero_ROMs
First rom I flashed on my evo was a Fresh rom.
It's pretty stock with some tweaks done to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681856
And hopefully someone will be able to answer which rooting method to use.

Not a problem, I know where you're coming from. I was terrified to root when I first read about it.
I'll try my best to answer what I can.
And if Unrevoked works with the .7 version, It basically does everything for you so it's really simple.
If you can check your Radio Baseband version and it's one of these, unrevoked should work.
But we should wait for someone to confirm.
(Should be in Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Software info)

Again, thank you for your time and patience. I really want to do this and want to do it right. If something would go wrong, I wouldn't know what to do.
My radio baseband version is 2.42.01.04.27
Will wait to hear back or see if anyone can confirm it working.
What is unrevoked? I am guessing it's kind of a "one click" type thing that will root the phone, or is it more then that?
Thank you,
Whiteice
*EDIT* So I read your link and read up on it a little. I have a basic understanding of what it does, but again, this is all new to me
You know, the more I think about it, the more I think it would be easier to ruu back to .5 and root from there. I know for a fact that unrevoked will root .5, as its the method I used. Also, I've heard good things about regaw's root, too.
Just follow the directions EXACTLY and you can't go wrong.

Okay, I wouldn't go off just radio versions...I would go off software versions.
I posted in the other thread of his and HAD recommended manually with ADB but now I would recommend using SuperOneClick. I've been searching google and it seems to be the more popular one. Have yet to read someone using Unrevoked.

The reading part has to do with how bad my ADHD is. Thus the reason why I am trying to find something a little easier and not so in depth.

ADHD, huh? Then you might be better off with a one click method. ADB method, while not difficult, requires a fair amount of reading and exact typing, or you get a hero shaped paperweight. Superoneclick seems to be the option of choice.

This is an update.zip aimed at installing over the stock Notion Ink Adam ROM. This will add Root, Market, Adhoc.
this is great thank you rothnic!

Very nice! With community support i have great hopes for the Adam!

Dang! Now I'm even more excited to get my hands on my Adam. (Shipping on the 29th). I appreciate all your effort from when I had my gtablet. Now I can give you (and roe / others) props for fixing my Adam up the way it was supposed to be...
Really hope this works, can anyone test it? My Adam doesn't ship until the 29th
tested.... not working.
I'll take another try at packaging the boot.img. When you say "not working," I could really use some more feedback on it.
Does it flash without errors?
Where does it hang in boot?
Did you wipe cache?
For anyone wanting to install this, just don't add the modfied boot.img. Use the original one.
I don't think I've had the chance to thank you here or back on NIH, but thank you so much for your work so far!
I tried it and my adam will not boot after flashing.

Lol, makes sense. Maybe more people on notioninkhacks.com have had success rooting. They might be more active in this department (currently at least), since the device isn't wide spread yet.

Technically you have root out of the box. You only lack the ability to easily mount /system with "adb remount," and you lack Superuser.apk.
In my thread on notioninkhacks.com, in the apps section, in the Gapps post, I show how you can mount system read/write out of the box. I'm working on a boot.img, but it is hard to get access to someone willing to work with me on IRC. I'll be on tonight, so would appreciate some time from some testers.

In my thread on notioninkhacks.com, in the apps section, in the Gapps post, I show how you can mount system read/write out of the box. I'm working on a boot.img, but it is hard to get access to someone willing to work with me on IRC. I'll be on tonight, so would appreciate some time from some testers.

If I had one I'd be there. Until then, good luck.
Updated, gapps shouldn't force close anymore.
Additional gapps mod - posting it here
(because I don't want to crowd the forum - plus I probably won't work on it past this alpha 1):

Basically it's rothnic's stuff, plus some of the other things I added to my GAdam port (and just re-ported it back to the Adam). Adhoc, busybox, all the other goodies we're used to on the GTAB.
Consolidated work into a single basic essentials update.zip. Check link in the OP.
Since I do not have enough post's to leave a thanks in the Dev forum. I want to thank Decad3nce for the 1.1 update zip. Worked just like a kernel update. All apps continue to work and root was maintained. I will push a real thanks once I get the post number up.

I can't thank the guy enough. He made it infinitely easier to get the B&N update.
I've been waiting for this update as well as it fixes my Wifi sleep reboot issues. I can now actually listen to Pandora with the screen off. OMG!
Buying this device was like buying my G1. I was happy with the package that I received on purchase day, but as my happiness grew tired, new updates and fixes made it more enjoyable everyday. (There was no BT audio or virtual keyboard in Android 1.0)
sounds like it was a piece of cake to set up as well.
hopefully he sticks around as we need all the help we can get around here
thanks again!!
Same here. Flashed his update over my auto nootered 1.0.1 nook. And everything is exactly how it was. No issues with su root permissions or anything. And like first poster i don't have enough post to say thanks in the dev forum. So ill say it here.
Thank you!!!!!!

Could someone help me with this update? I pretty much understand Decad3nce's instructions, but I don't understand what clockwork is and how to set that part of it up.
I'm Autonootered with 1.0.1 right now and wi-fi is OFF until I figure out what to do.
Thanks!
Worked like a charm on all three nooks in our house! Thank you! such a great community on XDA! Donations coming shortly!

Download ROM Manager from the Market. Launch it and at the top, there will be an option to install Clockwork. From ROM Manager, you can boot into recover (CWM). Cool?

This thread shows how to use clockwork recovery http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...m-manager-nandroid-backup-custom-kernels.html
100% Agree on the Thanks! Updated mine in no time and had no issues at all!! Thanks!!
Now I need to make some posts so I can actually thank the people in Devs!
Wow! Nice. I was worried if it will mess up my auto nootered 1.0.1. I am going to all his update zip via CWR.
And that was my 10th post. Yay!
I haven't seen an answer to this question. Hope it's OK to ask here.
I followed instructions to block the 1.1.0 OTA update by editing the build.prop file, and everything still works right on my auotnootered 1.0.1. Do I need to" unmodify" build.prop before using Decad3nce's pre-rooted 1.1.0 ROM?
Also I saw some weird behavior after installing Rom Manager and Titanium Backup: my NookColor Tools app stopped working, so I uninstalled both, and the tools app worked properly again. Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance. Great forum - i'm getting a lot more enjoyment out of my rooted NC and I have all you experts to thank.

I agree 100% with all of the posts that give this thanks. It worked well for me also.
Am I the only one getting an B&N authorization problem. It gives me a message saying that there has been an authorization problem and must reset. Resets back into 1.01. Happens a few minutes after the reboot into 1.1 ROM.
Good thing I have backups, so that's not a problem. I guess I can wait for a new Auto-nooter. Anyone have ideas?

Are you restoring data using anything, like Titanium Backup?

I had mod'd build.prop on my 1.0.1. autonootered and recently installed Decad3nce's ZIP. Minor problems documented and easily resolved in dev thread. Everything working well.
I never saw your issue with Rom Mgr and Titanium Backup.
Also, big THANKS to decad3nce. Great job!

Thanks for your comment. I completed the process within about 10 minutes this morning, and everything seems to be working perfectly. No problems or hiccups whatsoever.
Thanks, vinal and another BIG thanks to Decad3nce. Awesome work.
Problem with ADB
I was doing fine with the autonooter 1.01. Used Decadence's 1.10r2 and now can't install SlideIT and can't ADB into the nook.
I have double-checked that USB debugging is enabled.
I have reinstalled the ROM
I have taken off security, thinking that might have impacted it (didn't help)
I have tried using Astro and ES file managers to copy and paste SlideIT from the \sdcard\downloads to \system\apps\ --that didn't work because \system\apps is read only.
Slide it is in my app drawer, but doesn't show up in my list of available keyboards.
Similar problem with SwiftKey. and KeyPurr. With Slide It, I've tried to install the market trial app, and I've also gone the the developers website and downloaded the 15 day trial which (I believe) is the full app only good for 15 days.
Titanium, superuser, and softkeys are working.
Since I can't access the nook with ADB (btw, I'm using Linux), I'm thinking it's a permissions problem in the ROM.
Any suggestions?
I am also a happy customer. Was running 1.0.1 and installed Decad3nce's 1.1.0 R2 and every thing worked great except Wifi reconnecting after sleep.
