i just need some guidance in rooting.
I have adb and htc sync setup... is it possible for me to use this guide here to root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
The forum says its for 2.1, but the phone i'm trying to root has 2.1 update1. Would this work on it? Someone please confirm if it has worked for you, or if you know it would work.
Let me know if you need anymore information about the phone software.
If your build number matches the one mentioned in the post, you should be able to. If not, please refer to the posts in the Hero CDMA wiki page.
ok so this is the Build Number that I have 2.32.651.2. Could someone point me to a root for this build? Do i need to revert back to an older version to do this?
This should be easy to root with z4mod root right? What is the difference between temporary and permanant root? Which one would be advisable to choose.
Also after rooting and installing clockwork Mod recovery, and if I want to flash the cyanogen ROM, do i have to flash the Radio and/or Kernal separately, or does it comes together with the ROM?
I'm not exactly sure what the radio is, i have a vibrant and never had to deal with flashing radios or the like, so some info on that would be nice. Thank You very much
Go to the wiki... you will find all information required... you need to READ!

Difference Is:
Temp.Root= Only Rooted Until You Reboot Your Device!!
Perm.Root= Always Rooted, And SU Permissions Placed In System/Bin!!
Also With Cyanogen, All You Have To Do Is Flash The Rom/Gapps, If You Have A Issue With The Kernel, Then You Could Look Into Flashing
A Radio/Kernel!!
Hope This Helps!!

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense.
I still have a question though. I know what a kernel is; but is it the same as Radio?

Is there any guide to root JP3 specifically? Because i can´t find anything specifically to JP3 as i find to older and newer firmewares...
If there is there a guide to root JP3, can you point it to me???
Thanks
Now, this is weird, I'm quoting myself:
Darkstriker said:
1.What is root/rooting?
root is the user account in Linux with all privileges. The root user can edit anything on the system. For safety reasons, users do not have all those privileges. When you root your phone, you will gain write access to areas of the phone you couldn't previously access and are allowed to run more commands in the terminal. There is a tutorial for rooting in the Post #2 and a link to a OneClick Utility in Post #5.
If all of this means nothing to you then you are probably wise to NOT root your phone. Mistakes using root can break your phone very easily. (Usually, but not always, these can be solved with a reflash)
Note: At the time of writing, the Froyo firmware XXJP3 firmware has only been rooted with a complete firmware flash by MoDaCo.

I know what is rooting a device...
I use Linux at home.
I just can't find a guide specifically to JP3...
Some say that the JPC guide is good to root JP3 but i did want confirmation...
Cheers
I can't confirm that. It might be true but I guess the solution from MoDaCo is just so much simpler.
Search the forum. Theres a root for JP3. I think you need to flash with odin then apply update.zip and flash back.
Or you can try this rom, jp3 pre-rooted http://android.modaco.com/content/s...insecure-boot-clockworkmod-recovery-for-odin/
Here's the specific guide with downloads for JP3.

Why would you want jp3 jpc is far better ....

Tell me something else

Is there anyne else that works good???
Thank you
Bumping my question...
First off I would like to thank everyone on this amazing site for all the advice, guides and tutorials.
I unlocked my nexus bootloader and flashed a couple different roms. I really like the rom manager so I've used that to download roms and then flash them using that app.
When I downloaded the stock version of 91and flashed it, the phone no longer seemed to have root or clockwork recovery but my bootloader was still unlocked. When I downloaded rom manager, it could not get super user permissions, this being useless in flashing a backup or new rom. So I used universal one click root to gain root access and then rom manager was able to flash a backup.
I know this may be a dumb question but hope someone could explain to me why I needed to re-root and why I lost clockwork recovery...?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Right theres your problem. stock roms dont have root built in you have to root them again. unless you download a prerooted stock rom. hope this helps.

Yep this seems to be your problem. If you're wanting stock with the basic add-ons then the first link in this thread is your answer: Link.
Thanks very much. That does make sense. I thought unlocked bootloader meant I was rooted regardless of rom! I'm in way over my head lol. Looking forward to learning more...thanks for the new rom link as well

The advantage of unlocking your bootloader means you can flash a custom recovery from Fastboot mode, without having to "root" the ROM. Next time this happens you can just boot into fastboot and flash clockwork from there like this:
fastboot flash recovery PATHTO\RECOVERYFILENAME.img
so say you download clockwork and save it to c:\sdk\fastboot named recovery.img from a command prompt you enter the following
cd \sdk\fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once it is done flashing you can do this
fastboot reboot recovery
and that should take you into clockwork where you can flash your favorite ROM (or restore a backup).
Thanks for the help. I will be sure to try that method out next time. Very helpful.
Hi,
First of all I apologize for the extremely noob question, but I just want to be certain I wont brick my phone, so I rather ask...
I have a Nexus 1 with 2.2.2 rooted (it came just like this when I bought it, so I have no idea how it was done). The thing is I got a notification about OTA update to 2.3.3, and I wanted to update.
My question here is, how do I determine that it wont brick my phone?
(As far as I can tell its googles stock firmware with stock recovery atm)
Apply the update. If it fails, you will need to look into other means of upgrading. If it passes, you win. If it fails, and won't boot afterwards, you may need to wipe, but all should be normal afterwards.
Thanks
While we're at it, how do I 'wipe' exacly?
By installing a custom recovery, either ClockWorkMod (through ROM Manager from the market) or Amon_Ra, which is my preferred choice, but you have to flash it using adb.
Thanks guys, I've been reeding a bit more and finally figured it out.
One last question though, I see from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396 that Gingerbread requires Hboot 0.35.0017 and Radio 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04.
I already have hboot-0.35.0017 but I have RADIO-4.06.00.12_7.
If I upgrade using OTA do I have to flash Radio first? Also can I use this newer radio with FRG83G?
Im sorry, Im still a bit lost on the radio stuff...
If you use the official ota it will update the radio.

Hello, i've just bought a stock SGS+, with stock rom and recovery. I'd like to install 4.2.2, and my problem is that the phone is still on warranty. Will my warranty be void if I install CWM (I know it will if i install custom roms, but that can be easily reverted to stock), and if it will, can i return to the stock recovery in any way later? Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english

Type *#1234# and write down what you seen in screen. Inorder to claim the warranty you must need that to return to the exact stock Rom which your phone was shipped with. Also take precautions before you start flashing. Take backup of efs and persist. Once you lost these files you can't get them back.
Always be prepared to face an unexpected brick/bootloop/freeze/random reboots etc. Get ready with all the informations to overcome these situations. Happy flashing..
Edit : Flashing stock Rom will overwrite all the previous custom installations. And revert to the stock. Don't worry. There will be stock recovery.

Hey man, thanks for the reply! So, if just download the right rom (Build Info : Tue Feb 21 11:10:17 KST 2012 i suppose), and install it through CWM, will it delete CWM and revert to stock recovery?

No. You have to flash stock Rom via Odin. The details of which you can be found herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922505.

Hey, one more question - when I install CWM can I install 4.2.2 straight away from 2.3.6? Or do I have to do something more?
And which one is better, CWM or TWRP?

Yea you can install. But don't forget to wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvic cache before installing the zip.
I am using CWM 6.0.3.2 and not facing an issue with it. Haven't used TWRP yet... so can't comment about it. Those who are using says its good.
Really thanks for all the help man! Btw, I see that you're using liquidsmooth, same one that i'm planing to get. How's it running?

Hey, once again I have a question. I want to be fully prepared, so i found a tutorial as illustrated as possible, and I would like to ask if it's a good one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776095
Also, is the stockification process the same, but with stock ROM package, or is something different?

It;s a brilliant tutorial. Explained there is a method installing CWM, Rooting and Deodexing of untouched stock ROM users.
You can use the same method as explained in CWM installation using Odin to revert back to stock. Only one difference, instead of that recovery image you have to select the stock ROM image.
Give a Big thanks to Broodplank1337 for such a wonderful tutorial.:good:
Thanks for all the support man ^^
In the tutorial i see CWM v5.5.0.4, and you have 6.0.1.3, and on one thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825) I've seen that there is 6.0.2.6 already, but they're .zip, not .tar. I should flash 5.5.0.4 with Odin first and then install new CWM .zip through CWM, am I right? And when i'm revering to stock, do i have to download the right firmare, or can i just backup my own? Or if I backup it with CWM will it lose the stock recovery?
And also, I can't find any /efs /persist backup tutorial :C Sorry for all your time taken, but perhaps you have any link? Thanks again
Recovery
Well when i need waranty i just need to restore the rom but what about recovery ? can i leave it on CWM 6

Yes you can install CWM 5.5.0.4. If you are looking for a newer version, you can use Alireza7991's CWM 6.0.3.2(thanks to him). you can find both .tar and .zip files there.
When reverting to stock, you have to download any stock. If it's for warranty purposes, you need to download the one for your region.
In order to flash the stock rom, you have to use odin, not CWM.
Here is how you can backup your /efs and /persist
Good luck.

As i said before, when you flash the stock, all your previous customizations will also lost. After that there will be only stock recovery.
Thanks again for all the answers, still got one question - when is the possibility of losing efs or persist? During rom flash or CWM flash? Can i flash the CWM without the risk of losing esf?

Risks will be there all the time. No one can assure you that any step or method is 100% fool proof. That's why all the developers in here underlying that "Try it your own"., they take no responsibility of any damages.
I can only assure you one thing. If you are in any trouble, the awesome Devs in here will do their best to sort it out. :thumbup:

I mean, when comes the risk of losing these partitions (even after successfull flashing), after flashing CWM or after flashing rom? I'm asking that because i have to root the phone to backup them, and the easiest way to root is to install the .zip through CWM

I don't think you can install a factory update via custom recovery. I might be wrong though. Someone smarter than me will surely chime in if I'm wrong.

If you're already on 4.2.2 I HIGHLY doubt you need it. IF it's a firmware update, then it might include things like a new screen touchpad update (which I don't recommend installing because it could possibly break your custom recovery) and a new radio file and irl. The most important part of that is the radio update and I wouldn't even really call it "important". More like USEFUL then anything else. So what you can do and what I recommend you do is: don't worry about your failed update. Find the latest radio.zip (flashable through custom recovery) file and install it. Let me know if you need help!

In order to receive and install an OTA update you need to have stock recovery... you have a custom recovery (CWM) which is why the update fails.
You have 3 options..... search, find and flash the stock recovery for your device, flash a custom rom based on 2.24.401.8 or stay as you are.
For radios this link is a list of all the radios released for the One, each can be flashed through CWM recovery.
