Hello there people from P970 Optimus/Maximos Black
I have a friend that as a p970 and he is in a problem.
He had his phone rooted, with CWM recovery, he had the CM installed on the phone, but then he decided and recovered the nandroid backup and went back to the stock rom. After that he installed an update from LG that apeared in his phone, thinking it was the 2.3. But it wasn't. It was some bugfixes to the 2.2 Stock LG Rom. But with that update he losed the root, and now he can't root. Gingerbreak stucks wile rooting and SuperOneClick 2.1 gives him a "Program not responding" on his computer when trying to do the Step4.
Can someone help my friend? He doens't have a XDA account, he only reads the threads, that's why i'm putting this here instead of him.
Sorry for my bad english

Sony Xperia X8 (11W27)
Had an unlocking service yesterday unlock my X8 (no idea if that entailed unlocking the Bootloader or not though - is there anyway I can check?) and today have now rooted it also using Superoneclick (with the help of some great threads on XDA-D - cheers).
Installed xRecovery, Astro and RootExplorer v2.16.
What I would like to do now is install PrimeHD (and the Hotfix1?) but just not sure how as I think I read conflicting information with regards to just what is needed to be installed prior to the flash. It seems from the PrimeHD thread that I need CWM? But did I not read that the Bootloader needs to be unlocked to install CWM?
Perhaps I read it wrong - anyway, I would really appreciate being pointed in the right direction as to just what it is that I need to do in order to install PrimeHD on my X8.
If there is any other info that I can provide that would be needed - please do let me know, be happy to provide all I can as Eclair is wrecking my head at his stage, with it's fecking limitations
Cheers ..
Took a shot and just installed it with xRecovery and it worked
CWM not a prerequisite it would seem.
Great stock ROM.

Hi there,
I have an HTC Hero ... and I want to put OMFGB rom on it.. but the problem is I can`t root the device, I have try`d all the suggested thing around here...but when I check with rootcheck .. the answer is negative (don`t have root) ... what can I do ?
Thank you

Kernel. 2.6.29.7527f009
[email protected] #1
software number 3.36.405.1
I have try`d all the tricks for root`ing none of them seems to work ... (z4root, superoneclick, androot...) at superoneclick software at step #5 it hang and does`t reply anything and all the log is fulled with "can`t find *unknows dir`s" or can`t remove...
what can I do ?
I have manage to gain root and put custom rom with GOLDCARD trick -> downgrade to 1.5 android and then gain root with androot trick ... and so on ... this one can be closed
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598 it`s one click root and it`s working on android 2.1. To instal CWM use ROM Menager.

Use Universal Androot 1.6.1 (Google it)
Or SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0 (Again google it)
After you try that download a rootchecker and download a recovery image such as AmonRA or Clockworkmod by installing ROM Manager
Then put your custom ROM in the root of your SD card, this means in no folders just open SD on my computer and throw it in there.
Reboot into recovery using the Home + Hang up button and do a backup
Wipe everything (Not sd card)
Install the ROM and enjoy
Hi, I have many problems at a time lol. First of all, I bought this phone 'cause it was so cheap and it works fine for my mom. The problem is, I think I was scammed because the phone allows emergency calls only. I tested with many chips but they don't work, so I guess I'll have to find a solution for that (imei unlocking with z3x maybe?). Also, I don't know if the phone is branded. I think it's not, because it starts with other chips, but the bootscreen is still from the original company (don't know how to change it).
Okay, now that you know the conditions of the phone, I wanna ask if the phone being imei blocked affects on wether I can root it or not, cause I tried many many root files on CWM 5, but nothing happens. Some of them say that the process was completed, but I type "su" in the terminal and it says "not found". Also, I downloaded root checkers and they say the phone's not rooted. The roots I remember are universal_gb_root_v25, v23b, upd_1 and Root_Cooper. I am desperate, please help.
Also, I updated the firmware with Kies (can't remember old firmware), so now I have GB 2.3.6. I don't know if Kies might have screwed it up. I've also noticed that most people have a baseband ending in something like KT8, but mine is different... I remember I had to change the baseband on my Xperia X8 to unlock bootloader, but I know nothing about Samsung phones. Anyway, phone details are:
GT-S5830L
baseband S5830LUBLP1
kernel 2.6.35.7-1190892 [email protected] #1
compile number GINBGERBREAD.UBLP1
android 2.3.6
Thank you very much! I am posting cause I searched but found nothing u_u.
ps: sorry for my bad english.

Mybe you haven't enough internal memory space to push su files
Try this
Firmwares and help rooting (3th Post)
Okay I'll try these solutions, thank you all very much!
btw, I don't think it's a space issue 'cause I have like 55mb left

55mb internal space (data) is not the same as 55mb system space (rom space)
Oh god, I can't believe it still doesn't work D:
I think it would be good if I started from scratch. I mean, flash a stock firmware or something, like a factory reset. I installed CWM, how can I uninstall it?
What is the best way to do that?
thanks

Install CWM 5 from Recovery Mode. Go to CWM> Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Mounts & Storage> Format /system, Advanced> Wipe Dalvik cache, Wipe Battery Stats. Now re-flash the stock rom using odin through Download Mode. You can then try installing root and CWM. Hopefully it works well this time.

Nothing seems to work u_u. I flashed the stock rom, installed cwm fix, flashed Root_Cooper.zip and nothing happened. Then I flashed the no-junk-apps and also tried with AceGingerRoot, upd_1, universal_gb_root_v25, and Root, but nothing happens. Root and upd_1 give me an error like Status 7, installation aborted (some guy in one of the links Viper sent me had the same error). I type in he terminal "su", and it says access denied.
I don't know what else to do :c

No, that's not what I meant. Before you flash a fresh copy of stock rom, make sure to do a complete wipe. You cannot do that with the stock recovery mode and hence you install CWM. Just follow my instructions in the above post. Once you have wiped of all data, then flash the stock rom back. Always remember Root first then install CWM. If you do it the other way, you will end up getting status 7 error. Do post the result.

Oooh okay, i did everything but rooted after cwm. Ill try that!
It worked! thank you all! (even though it rebooted once, but it hasn't happend again)
Now, what JellyBean ROM would you recommend? I just want a "fast" one. (I know there's no such thing as "best rom" or something, I'm just asking for advice)
Some ROMs say that I have to install CWM 6 or above, should I do that? or just stick with this fixed version?

All CM 10 (JellyBean) roms works quite well with CWM 5, so I suggest you stick with it unless you want to go for CM 11 (KitKat) roms. CWM 6 is mainly meant for CM 11 based roms but there is one CM 11 rom (KitKat for All) that works fine with CWM 5. I haven't tried all CM 10 roms, so I can't help you in that part. But I can provide you the list of all custom roms for Ace. You can try it yourself and be the judge Here is the link,
