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, after test for some times, i made the flashable root package for 2.3.4 (That the device has flash the leaked HKTW 2.3.4 and unlocked the device)
NOTE:
Unlocked Atrix 4G with HKTW 2.3.4
Please flash the CWM recovery first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
You should have a external sd card in your device, because the recovery cann't recognize the internal card

PLEASE download from the attachment, I'm really sorry that my site was down.
I think all of you know how to flash zip from recovery, so I'll not give hint about this, LOL

You can flash the official sbf file to restore to origin, like the 1.2.6 sbf

Yeah I think alot of people make that mistake. That's why when people ask I always say make sure to grab the "full" sbf not the service!
Thanks for the zip root method! Much appreciated!
Uses this and trying to flash with the newest CW build that is available with no avail.
Keeps being unable to mount SDcard ...
Will have to try the other way to do this for now but thank you for the work.
Worked perfect. Thanks

how do i use this?? already have teh new cwm
now waht???
i HATE when pple leave out basic info, i got school work, i cant remember EVERYTHING EVERYTIME.
Hey, so, I ran into a slight problem.. It doesnt actually root the phone... Or so I've found. What happened to me is it worked perfectly, flashed via new cwm nicely, and I had SU in app drawer. I then decided to try and restore my apps via TB, and it doesnt let me batch anything, see anything, etc. It's like I don't have root. Then I tried getting root explorer and it FC's on opening the app. WTF?

This is because you didn't read my post carefully. You should have a EXTERNAL SDCARD in your device first! Because the recovery cann't mount the internal sdcard.

There is another way to check whether the root of your device work or not.
Run cmd in Windows or terminal in Linux.
execute the following cmd:
Code:
adb shell
su -
After you input the "su -" cmd, you should have a dialog to allow root access in your device. I.e, the root works. Otherwise, it doesn't work.
BTW, does your device unlocked and flash the HKTW android 2.3.4 rom?

TOO bad, the zip file should be flashed as the normal way to flash rom.
GOTO recovery then choose this zip file to flash.
BTW, you should copy the zip file to the external sdcard first!

Hello,
Since i heard and readed alot about the cyanogenMod, i wanted to flash my phone to this Rom.After folowing a vid on youtube and some research. I found out that i can't flash to cyanogenMod from android 2.3.3. So my question:
How can i do this?
Grtz
Daan
I just think you can flash it with CWM, as with other ROMs.
But then there is the risk that my phone bricks? witch dont happen if u use nv flash
and if u use nvflash i get an error, and thats because im on 2.3.4
failed executing command 14 nv error 0x120000

no your phone will not brick when you really need to be unlucky, all people in here is using cwm to flash with, i think nvflash is only if you want to flash stock rom,
In CWM perform a factory reset, and to be sure, format /system /data /cache, wipe Dalvik cache, and finally flash CM7.
That had nothing to do with your installed version of android, be sure to have CWM 5.0.2.0 to have ext4 compatibility.
oke ill try that thank you for ur reactions
after trying to install cyanogenmod i have problims with prompting to test.
i did everything it sayed but he still sayed no batch found. so im not sure everything works fine, so stuck at the kdb devices.
any tips ore other ways? ore good simpler guides ore movies?
cause the nvflash way is so mutch easyer!
Tnx allready

What batch are your talking about? In CWM you choose install a zip, select your zip file of CM7, you confirm and that's it... You do it from the phone don't you? CWM is not an external app on the computer... It's a special partition called recovery that you must flash either through ROM manager if you are rooted or through nvflash if not rooted yet (see trymhansen thread in dev section and forget movies and YouTube stuff...)..

well ive do things to mod andoid to make a good usb connection, i saw it in a guide . it sayed if u didnt root yet follow this guide with cwm. so i did something wrong...
i just dont get what root means and how i make a nandroid backup.
thanx for the fast reactions
the problem is the ADB its hard to set up that didnt work out for me and i need it for superoneclick cause when i try this it gets stuck at step 7 it says waiting for device
I finally hot my adb set.. when i try super one click it stops at step 7, and sayed waiting for device.. I really tried every way !
Can close this 1 problem solved, returned to froyo and then to cyanogen.
Hi guys
Can any one tell me how to root nexus one 2.3.6 ,i have locked boatloader.
zahid
Try SuperOneClick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
or unlock the bootloader, fastboot custom recovery and flash ROM of choice.
Try this

Use this. I just rooted my stock 2.3.6 nexus using this method. Takes less then a minute once everything is downloaded. Just make sure to extract all the files into the same location as the adb.exe file. Usually its in android/platform-tools.
Good luck and let us know if you have any questions.
BTW it does not unlock you bootloader either!

Is that a compulsion that super one click must be in the same location as adb n sdk tools?
Cos i rooted my stock 2.3.3 using the same method last month
But had it in different directories c: n e:

You're good to go. Just install a custom recovery
CWM or Amon Ra, you can install them via Rom Manger.
hi
I tried to install custom ROM but when phone reboot it stuck on "triangle android" seems first i have to unlock my boatloader.
Can you post me link..
It means that you didn't flash the file that removes stock recovery reinstaller - and stock recovery is reinstalled on stock ROM boot.
Reboot back to ROM, root again, this time when you reboot to recovery first time, flash the file. It's found in Nexus One Wiki, section "Recovery".

Its not at all necessary to unlock the bootloader. Did u install custom recovery before flashing a custom rom? I think u skipped that step.
Simple and best way for starters like us is to
1.root via super one click root
2. Install rom manager from market and wid the help of that, flash clockworkmod(cwm) recovery.
3. Install Titanium backup from market and do a backup up of ur apps.
4. Choose the correct rom of ur choice by reading the OP and the thread.
5. Download it and install it via rom manager.
6. Before that back up your current rom and wipe the system,cache,dalvik cache.
Thats it, u r good to go. :thumbup:
This is how i did n doing good
PS: Am just a newbie, so if there's any mistakes in my steps pls correct me.

Hi guys
I recently brought a 2nd hand LG black.
This rom is totally stock, to be precise, it is a Hong Kong version v20
Since I want to improve the battery life and have a more defined rom.
I would like to root and install CWM for my LG black.
Up to now, I have downloaded a few kdz from the subforum.
I have little experience before with LG phone, Last one i played around was LG P500. I remember last time i could easily root the phone by super1click, and then install rom manager from play store.
And from there (play store) i install CWM recovery.
I would like to find the confirmation from you guys that
Can i go for the same path again, super1click>rom manager>CWM recovery??
Thx in advance!!
Read my how to and find all you neeed

I realised the way you suggest to install CWM as exactly as mine.
But you only suggest to use SOC to root for 2.2 devices
Is there any reasons I should not root a 2.3 by SOC?
Actually SOC is always the most comfortable way to root for me
Hope you can share some

You can try it All you ll see is, that it doesnt work. If you look for root v20x or read my thread as a whole you ll find all answers you need. If you download the same version you have, extract bin and fls files flash and simply dont wipe data, just cache and dalwik have fun man

Read post 3 about how to do it yourself and follow the youtube video guide mentioned there. It's really easy and safe.
To me:
Easiest
- Smartflashtool flash v10a
- Use mass storage for phone
- Download Gingerbreak.apk
- Transfer to phone mass storage
- Install app
- Root
- Open Play Store
- Download ROM Manager
-Flash CWM
Voila
Easiest but slowest

Hmm, complicated. Why not:
- Smartflashtool flash v20n that has CWM inside. This is the procedure.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23788913&postcount=170.You only need the V20n,0,s (any of them) in fls/bin format.
- Flash Superuser.zip in CWM
- Done.
thx everyone
finally i got it!!
now using zeus v7, very cool rom!
But one last question, can i use the same smartflash with patched .bin method to revery to stock if i mess up something.
for example i am on cm9 and i wanna go back to GB, or i have to repartition my phone just like other brands like samsung.

Yes, you can. It is also useful for warranty (as root is voiding your warranty).
