Ok i finally rooted my Nexus One with "UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk
It said Rooting was done.
I can see the SUPER USER app too.
But Titanium Backup says it cant access the root. What should be the problem ?

Ok finally got it rooted by installing BusyBox .
i was trying this : Darktremor Installation Instructions for a2sd
But i dont have the opton "partition sdcard"

I really need HELP please
I ROOTED the device.
Installed ROM MANAGER and tried the CYANOGENMOD 7.0.3
After the installation I get INFINITE loop of Cyanogen menu
I tried the RESTORE SYSTEM and no use.
I then installed the "81304b2de707.signed-passion-GRI40-from-FRG83G.81304b2d.zip"
Now again the same problem ...
I get Infinite Boot loops. Please Help

Wipe the device before loading a new ROM. "Wipe all data / Factory reset" option in recovery.

I did. But no use
Finally restored the backup i did yesterday. Now the mobile is switching on.
But acting odd.
Auto rotate of screen not working.
I cant move shortcuts or widgets on home screen.
If i move it they are automatically dwleted .. .
Please give me a simple process to change the rom.
Please

First off, if you are using CW Mod 3.+, go back to a pre 3. version or get Amon_Ra
If you go back to a pre 3. CW-- Wipe system 3X and all data/caches 5X, then retry
Did you reformat your sd card outside of phone with something like sdformatter and repartition 1gb 0 swap--back up card first and Nandroid
You may have jumped into this too quick, with only having phone 2 days
You need to flash Cyanogen rom then gapps then DT
I would study the CM7 thread, from OP page on--

First of all, THANK YOU VERY MUSH FOR THE KIND REPLY.

I formatted using the OPTION in the ROM MANAGER.
i gave SWAP 32 mb and the other to be 512 mb.
What is and howdo i backup "Nandroid"
CW-- Wipe system 3X and all data/caches 5X, then retry

3x and 5x does it mean 3 times and 5 times ?
When the system was getting the Infinite Looping.
I restored the recovery rom. And while the recovery process was hapenning it freezed at "LOST+FOUND" Had to remove the battery.
Today i was trying to backup the ROM again and again it freezed at "LOST+FOUND" . Had to remove the battery.
Is it normal ??
I read some HOW TO stuff but seemed very complicated. so Then i went for the YOUTUBE EASY steps videos. So I rooted with the APP i specified above. And went for the ROM MANAGER.

Well all my friends have the LATEST versions. Even my brother had 2.3 on his Nexus S.
Only i seem to be stuck here .
Would there be any hardware faults for all these errors i get ?

The nexus s shipped with 2.3
This is why I and others will always tell you people to read the wiki.
Flashing roms and partitioning the SD card with a ext partition while not even know a nandroid backup is....:-(
1. Boot the phone into recovery. Not sure if its still cwm since I don't know wtf you meant by recovery rom but eh.
2. In recovery factory reset/wipe clear data etc. Basically clean everything you can a option to clean/wipe/format EXCEPT SD card.
3. Flash a rom. . Flash gapps if its cm7.
4. Read wiki.
5. Read wiki.
6. Read wiki.
Basically get the phone running. Stop ****ing with **** until you have a clue what you're doing. Then have fun.

Well after using the same file many times. i finally got the CM7 running
Thank you all for helping me out . . .
Sorry for being so noob

glad you got it
you want 0 swap not 32
also, don't recommend, as mentioned, using CWMod 3.+
Definitely read wiki and scour threads from OP pages on to learn
I have 14 pages of bookmarks going back over a year from studying
Do regular backups of phone and sdcard
Good Luck

P990 stock rom zip

Hello pls where i can get P990 stock rom zip ( czech version ) in zip format... for me is better instalation.
Please answer fast
I have backup stock rom but if i flash it .... in boot screen freeze and after 5 sec restart phone

You'll first need to convert your file system to EXT3 first. CM is EXT4 and stock is EXT3. Flash this zip in recovery: http://android.modaco.com/topic/336...3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/
So you'll need to do this in recovery:
1. Wipe everything
2. Flash the BackToExt3 zip
3. Restore stock rom backup.
This should work.

Nice big thx this is easy and very fast

I read this post above and cant go anywhere further because the silly rules do not allow noobsters to ask noobster questions ????
heres my problem,
I have P990 that came with froyo
the thing was working perfectly apart from front camera in Skype and silly old me, not being able to ask novice questions here (because you are not allowed) somehow managed to install the cryogen 9 naively thinking that this will fix the only problem I ever had. And then the world of unstability, locked and frozen screens, freezing, restarting, random uninstaling of apps, cameras not working, video freezing, music (what music??) not available and not even starting etc started to be my daily dose of my randomly properly working p990 phone.
Is there anyone kind enough to explain how to do stock rom as per above post install on top of my big mistake .
I have an unstable, unreliable (rooted ) P990 that is currently (very randomly) running cryogen 9 , I downloaded the 2 part files from trapacska's post (thanks for thinking of us mortals), I have 2 laptops , one with windows XP , one with windows 7 64 bit, a usb cable to connect laptop to the phone and I will to do anything to return my phone to some normality .
Please take me step by step or show me links how to do it and what other programs do I need in order to make my phone work as it is supposed to work.
Please understand that I do not understand what all this bellow means, and would really appreciate if anyone could explain or point to places where these things are explained ( please omit the first point, I found how to root elsewhere):
THIS IS 100% FACTORIAL STOCK:
-you have to root
-wipe data and cache NOW NOT NEEDED(built in format /system /data /cache)
-100% factorial stock kernel included
-baseband and recovery will not be changed
-if you have bootloop, try to flash backtoext3 first

[Help] Last time i updated my SGS was 2 years ago...

Hello,
Back in 2010, two months after buy my SGS, i updated from Android 2.1 to 2.2 using Kies.
I didnt lost any data in the process. But before i created a ROM image using ROM Manager.
But after the update i realised that my phone was now running recovery 3e, and when i tried to create a new backup i couldnt.
After that i just installed a tool named z4mod to convert the file system in order to incrase the performance of the phone.
And its running like that till now.
Now all i want to know is whats the simplest way (with minor changes in the phone) to go back to recovery 2e, so i could make a backup with ROM Manager for safety and update the firmware for the last version available in KIES, at least.
I there is a way to change just the recovery thats what im loking for.
Im running: PDA-JPA, Modem-JPP.

Just Save everything (use USB storage mode and copy paste entire SD cards to your PC, so you won't lose anything) Connect with KIES and upgrade to latest Gingerbread ROM, after that just download a semaphore kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 and Flash with Odin, should give you CWM recovery and Root..
Than you can copy back what you need from your PC,

The point is want to create a full backup (not just copying files) before update.
It's impossible?
I found this post: [recovery hack] How to get back recovery 2e
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813475
But its too old and the file was deleted, so i can't try it...
Anyone know where i can find that files?

I just cannot do a nandroid backup - help pls

Am on criskelo 11.2 with speedmod kernel 3.13.
All is fine, it appears I have root (titanium etc works) and a check with 'got root' returns an ok response.
The phone is behaving itself nicely and is nice and smooth.
The problem comes when I try and do a nandroid backup using cwm.
It gets a liitle way in and then freezes (forever!)
Things I've tried to cure this...
1) Rolling back to stock GB and then re-rooting, then full 3 wipes, then reinstall criskelo rom.
2) Rolling back to a pre-rooted GB rom, then all 3 wipes, then re-install croskelo
2) Flashing other kernels, notecore etc
3) Installing superuser 3.1.1.zip with cwm and its binary update.zip
4) Installing SuperSU app from play store - it says needs to update binaries, and when I try it just says 'installation failed!'
5) Installing superuser app from play, this time when I try and update binaries it does helpfully say ' remounting /system as rw... fail!'
which leads me to believe this is a root problem, even though no other app is complaining.
6) doing a search on this forum (before you all tell me to do this!)
I have been trying to solve this for over a week now, and it feels like I have read everything on this forum but I may have missed something.
Can anybody steer me in the right direction please?

Maybe you dont need a nandroid backup, it doesnt backup efs anyway.
Could be a kernel issue, or space issue. Not sure.

Cheers, you might be right, but I have always used nandroid before flashing a new rom,
may I ask what you use to backup then, when you change rom?

No I haven't Spyder, although I have tried a few different roms whic all have differing versions of cwm right?
which one is the latest then, and how do I install it, would it be an update zip?

I am a heavy flasher and prevent issues caused by restores to get a clean taste of roms. Nandroids I tried, but I havent found a rom I wanted to go back on always, flash so much that it just takes to long.
Efs with a tool in one if my threads, suggestion by Chasmodo. DrKetan has a good toolbox thread in general section.
I manually backup photos and such with a file explorer. Calander/Contacts/email in gmail,
whatsapp and special app stuff also manually transfer folder from sdcard and back.
Messages I dont care for. Neither made calls list.
Occasionally I do restore app if dissapeared from market with Titanium, but only app, not data. I save backups on external. Cause I clean sdcard also.

The latest version for Note N7K is 6.0.1.2.. chek the below link... download option is there
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/

jonny, i feel your problem is due to partial root.
could you copy files into system in root explorer ?
did adaway work in applying hosts file ?
for criskelo rom too you should choose CF root kernel during the flashing process, then later you may change to your preference

Thanks baz & nokia, much appreciated.
I am running PA 1.99 now and it has the new cwm (you can tell because it has a grey background now!)
And rraaka, you are correct, I cannot copy anything to system
Not sure how I can get full root back though, I have used Dr Ketans rooting tool many times to try and cure this issue as well as flashing pre-rooted GB roms with Odin.
Not sure what else I can do.
But am starting to agree with baz now, I can do without nandroid (it takes ages anyway) and just use titanium to restore.
Everything is working fine with my partial root (except nandroid) anyway so not sure I care anymore!
Am enjoying Paranoid Android by the way, JB is fun.
I do miss the samsung apps though, I don't suppose those have been jellybeaned yet??

nope not yet, nothing Touchwizz like spen etc.
There is a cwm flashable of samsung apps that works pretty good on cm9, not sure if it works on cm10 or jb.
gaining full root shouldnt be to difficult, update binaries and then you know for sure.
The one that has worked wel for me is the ssu only zip from this post but then again thats on stock stuff.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841288
For custom roms/kernels the ones supplied with it are build in to work out of the box.
Once fully clean install, a nandroid can work but thats fully clean

Thanks baz, am going to go back to the start (stock ICS) and try that link to try and get my full root back, looks interesting.

Ok, I have full root again now!
here's what I think I remember what I did...
Downloaded the first two Su & busybox zips using method1 on the link that Baz kindly shared with me and popped them on my sd card ready.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Downloaded and flashed the latest UK Carphone Warehouse stock ICS rom with odin.
Rebooted to stock recovery - applied update zip - flashed first the SU and then Busybox zips downloaded earlier.
Rebooted phone to check all was ok.
Located superSU app and ran it to check - and first it said it didn't recognise my phone model, hmmm...
So I downloaded mobile odin from play and flashed abyss 4.2 kernel
Rebooted to recovery, full 3 wipes and rebooted system.
Ran superSU again and magically it updated binaries and for the first time in 2 weeks it said 'sucessful', I was very pleased!
Rebooted to recovery and flashed Criskelo 11.2 again (have gone back to this from PA until things are a bit more stable)
Restored all my apps from TB all good.
Checked Adaway and it was more than happy to replace host file, and root explorer is also happy.
Cool

first android + first rooting

Hello,
A few moths ago i bought my first android device, the Galaxy Note. With time, i learned about rooting and instaling roms. I finally decides to root it, but i have some questions about it and i hope you could help me.
For root it, i will follow the steps of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
And i choose to root stock ICS with safe kernel (what does that mean? I search but it's still not clear to me)
There, it says that i have to download a file according to the installed rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
The info of my note is:
ICS 4.0.4 N7000XXLRB
Kernel 3.0.15-N7000XXLRI-CL811902
So according to the second thread, one of the following files should work:
XXLRK
XXLRL
XXLRT
XXLRU
XXLRW
But I don't know exactly which one? Does it matter?
Now, evidently after this i will try to flash a rom (after i learn how to do it, altough i already have an idea, i just have to choose the rom)
My question here, is it possible (before flashing the new rom) to backup the actual rom? (not necesarily the apps since i can install them again) so i could install it afterwards in case of anything that could go wrong or if i don't like the new rom, etc. I guess that a factory reset with the flashed rom will not work.
I hope you could help me.
BR,.

Check the build number of your rom in about phone section ...check the last 3 letters and choose the kernel from the 2nd link you provided.
put it on ext sd and flash from stock recovery and done,
done you boot .. again boot into recovery and this time you will see cwm-philz.
go to backup and restore and do a backup ... this will backup your entire ROM all apps and data.

Hi, thanks for your answer.

That's exactly what i'm asking, according to the post and if you look the 3 letters, any of the ones i put before could work, can i choose any, or i have to consider other things?

THANKS!!, this is what i was looking for.
So afterwards i install this backed up rom as any custom rom out there?
BR,

It's the last 3 letters not start 3 letters. So if you rom build number is LRK then LRK. You have not mentioned your rom build number. There are no options.
Yes once backup done, you can follow the procedure and flash custom roms

I see, but the author of that post said that you can mix builds as long as they are similar, like LRK with LRI or so... but not LRK with ABC for example... that's why i asked that... And what do i do if my buid number is not there?

Yes that's true. Ics kernels are compatible with other versions too. Like ddlr9 can be used on xxlrt

i see, but then wich one i choose, or i can use any?

can you see your rom build number there..? if not then you can use LRK or LRT

OK, thank you so much...

i forgot, how do i do to install the backup?

You mean restore?
Same place where option for backup is here,

Hello, I just root my note... :victory:
Now, I tried to do a backup, but i got an error... i think that's probably for lack of space in my external sdcard... i just have a little bit under 500Mb...
How much space will the backup take? Can i do the backup in the sdcar in the phone?

Could depend on data
Stock ones are usually 700-1Gb
Choose the option of backup to internal sd

hi, thanks again.
Trying to free space in my ext sdcard, i found a new folder clockwordmod... i guest that is what i just installed...
Inside of it, there are 2 folders: blobs (520Mb) and backup (16 Mb)...
I guest i must not touch the blobs folder, but cai i delete the backup content, i'm guesing it contains the failed backup i just do...
After freeing space (2.5Gb free) int the ext sdcard, i've trying to do the backup, but know i get this error...
backing up data...
error while making a backup image of /data!
And it stops... I don't think is a space problem, right?

clear the memory so that there is enough space. delete the blobs and clockworkmod folder
boot into recovery. go to backup and restore and make the default backup format to tar and not dup. then do a bakcup
