Ok, so T-mobile is sending me a new unit because the one I got friday had issues with popping up keyboard and menu bars (no hacks yet), but did do the update to 2.2.2.
so on new DS that is coming, just want to make sure I do this right, xda style:
1. Root using superclick (v1.7 is all I could find, if someone has 1.6.3 and wants to p.m. me...)
2. Install clockwork recovery mod stickied in Dev section
3. Install the cleaned up custom 2.2.2 recovery image.
Am I missing anything? Built roms for winmo, but some of the android terminology is still new to me.
If its the latest update no...no need for root just fastboot clockwork mod recovery then flash the rooted update

ah ok. So I can install clockwork recovery, flash the 2.2.2 tweaked version through fastboot and skip the root?

yup, you can skip the root altogether. Just boot into fastboot, flash the CWR recovery image I posted in dev, reboot. Then go into recovery. Once you are in CWR you can flash the updated 2.2 zip in the dev section as well and it's pre rooted so after you flash it, you will be rooted Currently the superclick or whatever it's called isnt working for 2.2.2
Sounds good. What benefits are there to the tweaed version besides root?

Hi,
I'd like to know if I must have a rooted nexus one to update my radio version.
thanks!
Depends how you do it...
Some of the official Google updates include an updated radio also, so if you can install them, you will get the radio update with them.
The biggest factor is probably which version of Android you are currently on, which radio you currently have, and which radio you want, etc...?

You do not to be rooted. Flash radios via fastboot.

Yes, It's not the only way but the easiest way. Not so easy if you're on gingerbread though because gingerbread root right now still under construction. You'll need to downgrade and root it. Or unlock the boot loader and flash custom rom to acquire root. You can easily flash radio via recovery. Easiest way.

Same here. It also took me forever just to get the premium Rom manager. I hope this is only a temp bug because if not then I want my money back.
running stock ROM + kernel and rooted.
Has anyone tried to flash CWM through ROM Manager?
Here is a screenshot that shows when you click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery it gives the option for a Google Nexus 7.

Because it is built in. Press the POWER and DOWN VOLUME at the same time and hold until the screen pops. Needs to be the same time.

*FacePalm*. I should have known that.
But I was debating to myself whether or not to post to Q&A, but I chose General because I figured if flashing through ROM Manager actually works, people should know.
I will change the title now.
Yes I did. Just install and reboot into it from rom manager.

I use rom manager to install cwm and then upgrade to cwm touch as it informs you it's available, I paid the 2 bucks to be able to use touch. After cwm is installed I uninstall rom manager and use TKT to boot into recovery.
rom manager is made by ClockWorkMod, so it makes sense that you can flash CWM. Its been there ever since i used rom manager.thanks for the heads up though for ppl that didn't know.

No, I knew that. It's just that on new/unused devices flashing through ROM Manager sometimes doesn't work. Like on the Kindle Fire, if you flashed through ROM Manager CWM would be buggy as hell.

The kindle fire never had support thru rom manager. It would say it after you tried.
On the N7, koush officially supports it. Flash away, your golden over here

Hey guys, I just installed nik's new project x rebirth 3.6 because it looked amazing!
So I wiped data
Wiped cache
I flashed the ROM
And then I Rebooted
I went through the setup everything was fine just that the slider for WiFi was greyed out and it says and is stuck on "turning on..."
I waited really long to see what would happen but no success
All I see it error
I kept trying and trying but no luck
I did everything from wiping data and cache
I reinstalled the ROM
And I flashed and ICS kernel I had lying around on my sdcard but yet no success.
BTW I did not flash a kernel when I flashed the ROM
I flashed an ICS kernel after wiping the data and cache many times thinking it would work
Someone please help! Thanks

WiFi should work. It might be a recovery related problem. What recovery are you currently using?

Use 4EXT or ClockworkMod v5.0.2.0. V6 is only a port and therefore, there can be some bugs. I know that 4EXT and CWM 5.0.2.0 work. 4EXT is kind of like a modified CWM with extra features here and there. Its also officially supported.
I believe it is kernel related..

Kangaroo Kernel's WiFi works. That is a fact. If it doesn't work, then it might be recovery related where the recovery might not be flashing some modules correctly and whatnot. I used to have the same problem except with dla5244's port of TWRP. That is why I suggested OP use Official ClockworkMod or 4EXT.
Thank you guys so much
It was actually the the recovery
I flashed Clockwordmod v5 and it worked like a charm
thanks guy!

no
at least none that I'm aware of.
4EXT recovery has an app and when you download the file, it will automatically flash for you.

No, you need to put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode and use the command that was posted.
FASTBOOT is different than recovery mode.

No download ROM manager or 4EXT Recovery Updater (the latter may require a bit more searching).
As i've never really used ROM manager (nor would i ever recommend CWM over 4EXT), I can't really help you there.
For 4EXT Recovery Updater, you will need to wait a bit for downloads and stuff (roughly 5 minutes). After click install/update. Choose touch or normal (i use touch). Select version. It will download and then after downloads finish, it will flash the recovery for you.
Guys I am well aware of Rom manager and 4ext app control ;D
I just want to change my recovery to cwm or something else than 4ext rc9 because hopefully that will fix my wifi (turning on) error
And I am asking if there is a way easier than the command prompt way

OK here's the deal, IOroot25 method, rooted flawlessly. Made an attempt to install openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-vs980 via flashify which forced phone into reboot. now stuck in lg boot with secure boot error with a boot certification verify, followed by auto-mount of device showing contents of multiple drivers within the vs980 I can access download mode but not recovery. Unfortunately while in download mode ubuntu 14.04 doesnt recognize device through adb or fastboot. verified both adb and fastboot are operational with my nexus7 device. I also checked android51 rules for allowance of vs980. I have read through xda dev threads for 3 days (night and day) trying to figure this thing out without any luck. I would really like some assistance here you guys.... lol anything would be greatly appreciated at this point.
You might need to get a Windows machine and use the lg flash tool to flash the kdz file.

Back stock rooted 24a. Wonna put that Carbon ROM in but gonna set up emulator for debugging if I can get one to work. Or might wait until someone figures out how to unlock bootloader.

I'll let you know if I get twrp installed.
Looks like the Freedom tool is the way to go on 24a. But until bootloader is fully unlocked, we will continue to have stability issues. Every ROM is working off of the Loki patch. Now I'm not nockin loki it's a good work around, but for stability issues I'm gonna stay rooted stock debloated.
