[Q] Totally Noob, about rooting etc.

Hello!
I bought few weeks ago Samsung Galaxy S and love it! But there is one disappointment, and its the lagging, as you all know.
Im so noob when it comes to the mobilephones etc. so I need You're help about rooting my SGS;
-First of all, I have FroYo installed and I red that RyanZA's z4root is the easiest way to root You're phone, is that right ?
-Secondly, should I somehow backup my current ROM, in case that I need to send my phone to service OR is my warranty fully gone if I start doing these things ?
-Thridly, I red that you cannot have eg. 'LagFix' IF you havent rooted your phone first ?
My mainly consern is that I lose my warranty, doing these, so is it possible to get your phone to "back to normal" somehow (backup etc.), why is that my concern, I just dont trust phones (My previous experiences)
So pls help me with these and pls remember to write it down like speaking to a child cos really im so noob with these thing!
Thank You so much for help !

Rooting the phone and applying a lag fix is pretty straight forward using the method you outlined is fine just make sure you have 3 button recovery if you do then with common sense its pretty hard to get into trouble.
Im currently running stock jpa from samfirmware with cf root kernel (this provides root amongst other things) and oclf for lagging issues and all is running well.
As far as backing up rom i use rom manager as most others here do, you can always get stock firmware version from samfirmware just in case things go wrong.

Run the backup before you apply the lagfix.

Very much appreciate your comments guys and help! But now I have another question, how do I backup ? Is there any program in the market for that, or should I do it myself ? Is there anywhere instructions for that (instructions for noobs maybe ? )
Thank You again!
-Niko

to back up apps use titanium backup and to make a complete system backup use rom manager. From memory you can install clockworkmod recovery within this app then its just a matter of clicking backup current rom...very easy.

So my noob TUT
Check if you have 3 Button Methode
1. Power off phone
2. Hold Volume Down and Home Button pressed while Power on (release it when u see the first pic at the screen)
3. when you see the recovery then go to the next 1... if not then follow this TUT [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698 After this you can go to the second 1. ]
1. Check your Firmware* and flash the right CF Kernel with Odin
2. Download Rom Manager
3. Install Clockworkmod recovery (in Rom Manager)
4. Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery
(Maybe you must press update via update.zip)
5. Navigat to Backup/Restore
6. Backup
7. Wait
Then Apply Lagfix.. Look maybe for Hardcore's Speedmod or Ya-OK Kernel
Hope it helps

[Q] Rooting with HBOOT 1.01

Hi,
I have the official (stock) WWW Froyo ROM in my Legend. It was OTA updated two days ago. I only noticed today that the rooted version is now available, and I would like to install it
Is there any way to downgrade the HBOOT?
I tried to downgrade RUU with the goldcard method, but when I try to flash with RUU version 1.31, it says "wrong bootloader version", or something like that.
I mean, I cannot root my phone because I can't downgrade to a rootable RUU, because of the new HBOOT.
Any suggestion?

I have similar problem, I was updating the hboot, now I ended up with f*** official froyo rom, and no root access. Can't even install visionary r14 from modaco, for acheving temp root

If it allows you to go in to recovery mode and then "flash zip", it may work.
Anyway, I don't believe temproot allows you to access the option to flash a zip.
If you are successful, let us know

I read on the official VISIONary thread at MoDaCo that someone is telling Paul that he can only temp-root with r14, but can't perm-root with it anymore.

For now no way to downgrade HBOOT 1.01 to HBOOT 1.00 or 0.43 .....
We wait for a solution ....

You should follow the instrucions from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845512
It is the same as rooting devices with HBOOT 1.00. And yes you will need to install visionary r13 or r14 from modaco and temproot your phone. I worked for me! I have new HBOOT 1.01 and CM 6.1 rom now. I've spend all afternone playing with my phone, to get it right.
EDIT: when you are doing the last step, you just have to choose some rooted stock rom that you prefer.

Well, it does not work for me
At this stage: "Phone will reboot and find LEGEIMG.zip on your sdcard, copy it into RAM and check it." my device just reboots to the HBOOT menu, without any error, no copy and check happens. It just stays there forever waiting for me to choose an option: Fastboot; Recovery; Clear Storage; Simlock.
I think that the suggested tutorial does not contemplate HBOOT 1.01. Are you sure it wasn't your new rooted froyo image that installed you 1.01 HBOOT?

Just to add one more thing.
I am able to gain root access with the temproot trick, but when I ask clockworkmod to reboot in to recovery mode, it just takes me to a big red question mark. After a while it reboots and everything is normal again.

That's perfectly normal...

Yes, qzem already presented you one. But you have another problem... bootloader can't see/find LEGEIMG.zip located on your sdcard. There were guys with exactly the same problem and some managed to solve it so it is documented right here on XDA forums.

Blow me down!! It worked!
I had to repartition, reformat and recreate the memory card as goldcard.
Now I have Stock Rooted Froyo
My path was: stock OTA 2.2 -> 2.1 -> rooted stock 2.2
Thanks

Nice to hear that you solved the problem.

Maybe you should do as I did:
-Delete all the partitions on the SD card;
-Create ONE FAT32 partition;
-Format it;
-Create Goldcard;
-Copy LEGEIMG.zip to the SD card;
Finally, try again.

Cheers will give it a try now. Any idea why you have to do this if you already have a working goldcard?
That all worked fine and I am now on 2.1 I installed rom manager 2.5.1.2 but when I try to install clockworkmod it does nothing anyone got any ideas?
maybe I should also mention that i dont have superuser.apk but i do have root check in terminal and su is working.

Now that you have 2.1, you need to root your device.
Just follow this tutorial: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-legend/
On step 9, use the rooted rom of your preference.\
That is how I did it.

Instal superuser from Market. Then open Rom Manager, FlashClockworkMod Recovery, then choose Install Rom from SD Card. Before that you should copy some custom rom(all custom roms are rooted usually) you want on the sd card.

how to root this phone?

Hi, i have one piece nexus one android version 2.2, build number FRF91. Can anyone tell me how to root this phone and please sugest a ROM with portuguese language?
Thank you.

Well, i checked the newbie link. Just need to know a few facts:
1) How do i know if my Nexus One is a retail one so that i can unlock the bottloader?
2) To root the phone is it necessary to go to command prompt? Can i just click on 'install-superboot-windows'?
3) Is it necessary to flash custom recovery image? Why is required?
Last can anyone sugggest me a ROM with portuguese language in it?
Thank you.

Notes:
- For FRF91, Universal Androot will work(it does not work for FRG33 and after) for rooting(without unlocking bootloader). It is installed like normal Android app, and you can root your device with it(but sometimes it fails). Also, there're other one-click rooting tools like z4root and SuperOneClick.
- If the custom ROM is built from AOSP, it will support Portugese.

SO basically is this what i have to do?
1) Turn usb debugging on, root with superoneclick with phone connected.."charge mode"?
2) Flash rom
also, do i need to flash recovery image?

You will want to install either clockwork or amon-ra recovery. If you leave the current recovery, you are still able to receive OTA updates that, if installed, you will lose root.
As a side note, has anyone noticed that rooting the N1 was never an issue until the 1-clicks and the androot tools came along? Nothing against those tools, they work and people can leave a bootloader locked. But it seems to me that was always the choice you had to make with your device. Root it or not? Having your cake and eating it too has led to more and more lazy "how do I do this?", "this isn't working", what am I doing wrong"? posts. It has already been proven time and time again that HTC doesn't really care about an unlocked bootloader for hardware related warranty work. If it is software related (rare) it was probably your fault and you don't deserve warranty service.
Oh well...thats my .02

1. download Universal Androot from the market or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598. Install. Run. Get root.
2. download ROM Manager from the market or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639153. Install Clockwork Recover or Amon-Ra recover. You don't absolutely have to install a custom recovery, but why would you not? It allows you to do so many useful things including a Nandroid backup.
3. download a ROM of your choice. My favorite is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184 but most ROMs will have your language. Install via ROM manager or boot into recovery and install.

Well i rooted with superclick then when i go into recovery mode and click on recovery it shows a white triangle. I removed the memory card while rooting, could that be the problem?

How did you remove the sdcard while rooting? That would also mean you pulled the battery? Or did you bend it up enough to get it out? Either way, don't ever do that.

Read my signature.

I removed the memory card before rooting, anyway thanks guys for your reply...i will check the wiki and redo process with sdcard tomorrow..

JUst one more question, should i install rom through rom manager or manually go into recovery mode?

Sounds like you still have the stock recovery. Install a custom recovery.
Do this ----> Download ROM Manager from the market or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639153.
Then, you can install Clockwork Recovery or Amon-Ra recovery to flash ROM (and do Nandroid backups).
Or, you can use ROM manager to flash your ROM.

Please, please do a Nandroid back-up before flashing a custom ROM. (You can do this through Rom Manager).
This should be the first advice you are given above all else!

[Q] Putting Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) on HTC Hero CDMA WITHOUT ROM MANAGER

Since Rom Manager is no longer in the market, what do I do? I'm still in 2.1 and rooted using the 1 click Root method, which I can't link for some reason. I want to have Gingerbread and Cyanogen Mod. How can I achieve this? (please talk to me like I'm a caveman or something. As I'm an epic computer guy, I have no knowledge of Android phones.)
EDIT: I used this to root my phone youtube.com/watch?v=-tAt9PMykz8

Just download the rom of your choice, place on the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe everything (Make sure you did a back up first!!!!), then flash the rom (.zip file) then reboot your phone.
I have never used one click root. Does it even install a custom recovery?
