Hi,
I am just wondering, i am rooting my Nexus one 2.3.3 and in the instruction it says "Also download and copy the SU program to your SD card and name it sd.zip."
My question is where do i get this file from?
Thanks.

Go to the "rooted" link in my signature, and take the Eclair/Froyo version
Isnt the Su file in your signature for froyo? And isnt 2.3.3 gingerbread? or it works?
Thanks.

The file in the thread that you want is: su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip It works for Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread.

Great, thanks alot for the help
im also rooting but grj22 build, what do i need to download to my sd before i unlock my boot loader?
To unlock your bootloader, you don't need anything on the sdcard. To continue with rooting, you would need to have a custom recovery on your computer and use fastboot to install it after you unlock it, then flash the zip that was mentioned above (which would need to be on the sdcard) to actually root your phone from the custom recovery.

Install recovery, boot into recovery, mount the SD from recovery, then move the file over to the SD using windows...

ok col, now heres the kicker...i flashed recovery-RA-nexus-v2.1.1.img as my recovery , and im pretty sure i put cryogen 7 on the sd so i fudged it up pretty good.whats the best recovery to flash i, if had gingerbread 2.3.4 which came ota au natural? also im finding the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip file either, anyone have a proper link to it?
If you're going to flash cm7 or ANY pre-rooted rom you do not need to bother with the su.zip. Just flash the rom from custom recovery.
i keep getting the no img wrong img message in fastboot when i try to hboot?
Fastboot is used to flash the custom recovery. The recovery flashes the rom.
I can't understand your post in the first place so I dont know what is your actual issue.
But read the wiki.

Hi, I currently have a rooted Captivate and I'm running stock firmware on my phone. I have several questions if some could help me out that would be great.
Is it is possible to get the official Froyo update if your phone is rooted?
Also if it isn't possible, if I do a factory reset will it unroot my phone?
My friend was the who rooted my phone for me and I don't recall what he used to root it. So IF I can't get the update while rooted and doing a factory reset doesn't remove the root, how can I unroot my phone and do I need to know the specific way my friend rooted it?
I dont think, root with do anything against upgrading your phone using Keis mini....formatting or deleting any chache wont unroot your phone...
but to be on safer side
Use this to unroot...just put ur phone on debugging by going to settings>>applications>>development>>uSB debugging on
click on the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304
download the software as per ur computer (Mac or Windows) Extract it...an plug the phone with computer...and just click unroot...it will do the rest...
i tested with one of my captivates when 2.2 was released.
i rooted and unlocked the phone
then i updated to 2.2 through kies
no problems at all

When you unroot you should not have the option to go into cwr, seeing how you need root permissions to do so.

no. Clockworkrecovery is simply an update.zip on your sdcard and does NOT require root at all, just reboot to recovery and reinstall packages....that will boot you into clockwork

absolutely. clockwork recovery is done without being in the OS....so it does NOT require root access
when you install rom manager on a samsung galaxy s phone, and click on the flash clockwork mod, it puts the update.zip file on the sdcard. once you reboot to regular recovery (3 button), just click reinstall packages, it will reboot back into stock recovery. click reinstall packages again and it will kick you right into clockwork recovery.....has nothing to do with root

but if that is the case then why does my phone always boot into clockwork recovery, even after deleting update.zip? i did flashed it exactly as you said - that option in rom manager and then two times from the stock recovery. but now i can't seem to get rid of it any more.
though i have read that it is included in some kernels? and i did flash serendipity, could that be the reason that i can't get into stock recovery?

thats exactly why...its included with the custom kernel you are running....
and here i thought recovery was part of the bootloader and something that does not (usually) get replaced. if you could explain how these things are separated (i have my theories but i'd love to know how it actually works ) that would be great, otherwise i'm simply relieved that i am still able to have my phone repaired on warranty if i ever have to
Ok BIG thanks goes too davied and DJ_Steve. Without them this would not be possible. Ive flashed this and all is good. Root, 2300 consistent in quadrant. This is Davied's .zip with DJ_Steve's tweaks. Copy and paste mirror2.streakdroid.com/djsteve336.zip this in your browser. Flash via Clockworkmod.
Its always a safe bet too wipe data/cache make a nandroid before you flash!!! Flash at your own risk Me, Davied, DJ_Steve are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device or yourself. Happy Streaking to you all!!!

Well I guess that is pretty stupid question ..
Maybe I flash recovery using this recovery first, then boot into recovery , then flash the .zip file.
NO!!! Your dell streak7 has an unlocked bootloader there for you can go to the clockwork thread by graffixnyc and flash his cwr through fastboot then boot into cwr and flash this. This has too be flashed through cwr.

the screen didnt hang.. that screen IS the fastboot screen.. when you have that screen you must plug your streak into your computer.. all the fastboot commands are issued through a command prompt on your computer..

you dont fastboot flash this file. you need too fastboot flash cwr then flash this with clockworkmod.
And jiwengang you need too select option 2 in the stock bootloader.That will bring you into cwr.
So ur on official update

Question, I have still yet to update Ive always been the cautious type vs instant flashing.
Think I am ready now. So, since I did not OTA yet. But I AM rooted. I have Rom manager installed.
So am I correct when I assume, what I do it, Flash CWR, download this zip, then flash via the app to be updated to 2.2.2, have the tweaks and be set to go?
Also What T-mobile/Dell apps did it remove? Thanks.
You cant flash via rom manager. Its useless other then flashing cwr. But yes boot into bootloader by holding power and plus volume hold it until you see the menu. Select option 2 should put you into cwr. Once in cwr flash the .zip i provided. Reboot and you should be on 2.2.2 rooted. Good luck.

Thanks Hellzya, Will try it now. What Apps were removed tho?
Also are you all using a SD card for storage or nah?
Btw wiping out Data/Cach or whatever, that doesnt touch the internal storage memory does it? Never had a device with internal memory like this. Used to my G1 and using the SD card for everything.
i believe you dont need too wipe by i always do just to be careful. It doesnt take that long too reinstall everything and set it up. i do it for piece of mind. and yes i have a 16gb external sd but i put everything im gonna flash on the internal sd.
Thatruth ask davied or get on irc and if dj steve is there im sure he could help you.
Ok, I'm a noob and I tried to root my phone. However, I messed it up and I'm not sure how.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader.
I then flashed the recovery with Amon_RA's image. All is still good.
I attempted to root installing from zip using this step "Use trackball -> "Flash zip from from sdcard" -> nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip"
I then rebooted and now I'm stuck at X. It won't boot past that.
I can access the bootloader and all that other crap. I'm a noob so type slow and in small words to I can fix this. Until I see a reply, i'll play around with it to see if I can return the image to stock.

Ok, I might have just found my problem. The instructions say to use that addon if I don't have superboot installed. I do have superboot installed. How do I reverse it?
Maybe passimage method back to stock than try again

If you want to go back to stock search for passimg.zip or you can use any ROM you like.
my adb isn't recognizing my device. Fastboot is but not adb. This is why I can't push anything to the phone at the moment. This is getting frustrating.
take the sd card out and put the passimg.zip file on it
I did that and nothing happened. Is there something special I need to do in order for it to take?
It was working just fine until I installed the google addon zip described above from the sdcard. Is there any way to uninstall the addon from recovery?
The PASSIMG.zip method doesn't work for me. It briefly says it can't find image or something like that. It flashes on the screen very fast so I can't get the details. Any other suggestions for me to try? Like I said, I can boot to recovery just fine. I can even install from zip through recovery. I should have backed up that image before I started messing around with it. I'm learning as I go though.
Phew!!! Back in business with the passimg method. My mistake was adding another .zip when I renamed the file. so to the phone it looked like PASSIMG.zip.zip and wasn't recognizing it. Once I got that fixed it updated just fine. I'm booted now. I'll update then try and root once again.
Good to hear.
I have a BIG PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
I rooted my Dell Streak 7 from T-Mobile it has the sim card slot so I guess it's not the wifi only one. i installed rom manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.0 everything was working fine. Then I downloaded a rom an boot into recovery when i went to install zip from sd card i clicked on it and said no files found. Wherever I click says that. I dont know what t do anymore!!!!
Also, my friend sold it to me because it freezes a lot out of nowhere. I thought that maybe upgrading the firmware or installing a kernel could fix it but I cant even flash a rom. I have a optimus one and it never gives me any trouble.
I tried googling for answers and looked all over xda but couldn't find a solution.

Look for links here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7#Official and then fastboot the stock recovery. Once you have the stock recovery, you can install the HC Update.pkg.

You may want to NVflash back to Froyo with this: http://d-h.st/iXc and then from that stock recovery install the HC Update.pkg. From there you can Fast boot CWM or TRWP.

I tried to go back to 2.2, but the orginal problem is still there (stuck in boot loop shows the dell logo and does nothing else) I know it isn't bricked can get into fastboot and nvflash. (it is a dell streak 7 4g (t-mobile)). I know there is something I am doing wrong I just haven't figured out what it is. Any advice would be great. This is a different device than the other dell streak I asked about earlier...
I have scoured and can't find anything! Having a right mare here!!!! I had stock ROM, simply rooted it and then tried to flash a few other files here and there and clearly broke it. Now it wont boot. I cannot for the life of me work out how to fix this. Just want the stock odexed ROM back really or any ROM which means I can just receive OTA updates and plod along happily. I have downloaded stock ROM but can't seem to push via sideload. Can I run RUU from fastboot screen? What else can I do here? Any way to push a zip to my SD card so I can flash that way?
I knew I should have backed up before I flashed anything else. Was about to but then bloody didn't for some daft reason!! TOOL!!
Can anyone offer any help, thanks.
if you are using cwm recovery then you can mount the sd card from mounts and storage.
