Got my Salsa yesterday, and used the great guides here HTC DEV- CWM route..all working great, custom roms are a little full for me awaiting new & faster SD card to try those again.
So reverted back to BigBearEvo nice post of Stock with root, weirdly SU doesn't seem to be allowing root access to anything, and often FC. Hrmmm am I missing something here??
any help, v.much appreciated
Try flashing root.zip via CWM, and see if that helps.
Option 1- Did you root the phone before installing the ROM ?
Option 2- Did you wipe and flash the ROM hoping for root access ?

hrmm, strange, I already tried flash root.zip late last night
and ...err yes to option one
and well option 2!
no matter the FC are more of an issue tbh, I'll just rip apart a custom one and make it a little lighter
thanks for your help
When you say well to question 2 i would assume no. Then that's the reason why its not working. It's conflicting with the previous rom. All my stock with root is .......stock with root.zip applied. That's all.

In continuation to what BB has said, if its conflicting. Try 3 wipes mandatory and then install ROM, set-up and then examine if any FC issues still persist and then report.
When I tried I was rooted before and then I did the wipes and it was up and running. As BB has said root.zip has been included with that ROM.

Hi everyone
I have a question, I rooted my phone (Nexus One AT&T version) with Androot after that I downloaded Rom Manager and install cyanogenmod 6.1 before that I do a backup of my stock rom with Rom Manager and stored in my Sd card.
My question are, in case I want to upgrade to gingerbread the only thing I have to do is return to my original rom backup with Rom Manager and rooted again with the androot?
Thanks for your replies.

Yes that should be it.
Actually...
To use ROM Manager, you have to install a custom recovery and with a custom recovery
you won't be able to get the update OTA, since the update will reboot after download
and try to install via the original recovery...
But of course the update will most certainly be posted here as a update.zip that you
can install via ROM Manager...
//Nik
ClockworkMod recovery will install the OTA update as it doesn't check signatures.

I'm sure that within 24 hours (or 24 minutes) of the first release, a repacked update.zip for custom recovery will appear. If you're coming from Cyanogen, take a nandroid and Titanium backup first, then wipe data/cache, before proceeding.
Keep in mind we *don't* yet know if any root exploits remain in Gingerbread. They may well have patched up the "rageagainstthecage" exploit by now. If your bootloader is locked and you want it to stay that way, and you still want the option of root access... then wait for the custom recovery update.zip and use that.
Thanks to all for the answers, I don't think gingerbread have much changes like cyanogenmod 6.1, but in case Google announces tons of surprises with gingerbread I known the best way to return back to get the update.
Thanks

Pretty basic release. This is a deodexed version of the touchwiz wifi update.zip available in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250
I have not changed anything else in this ROM (though I am now working on a more streamlined touchwiz ROM using this deodexed version)
So no, this ROM is not meant to improve performance or fix any bugs from the stock touchwiz update. A deodexed ROM simply makes it possible/easier for devs to create patches that can address these issues, make themes, etc.
Warning: I am not responsibile for any damage you do to your device from flashing this update. Please be careful and follow the instructions below, and use at your own risk!

-Fixed /system not being wiped properly during update
Installing:
Download and place somewhere on your /sdcard directory
Boot into CWM
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe /data and /cache (you can skip this if you had flashed the r4-7/19/2011 previously)

Before reporting any bugs please make sure you have followed these directions. If you are getting a boot loop you most likely missed one of the steps above.
If you are getting the "service temporarily unavailable message" you need to sign into your google account, it should go away after you do that

No, this update will make it possible to create and use modified versions of the apps + framework resources contained within the touchwiz ROM (i.e create themes, etc)

Are you talking about the special tilt / pan control? Just tested that, still doesnt work, but it may be possible now to patch the problem if someone can find it (in the deodexed resources).
Yeah I like the zoom feature, that's why I went back to the stock 3g touchwiz rom
Yeah i still didnt go back to stock 3g im just hoping somebody can find it in this deoxed rom but lets see
Can you pleaseeeee hook me up with the 3g touchwiz .zip??? IV looked everywhere! My tab is sooo slow with the wifi version but the 3g version, even with errors, was smoking fast! Thanks!

I don't think it really matters when you flash root bro. Make sure you are using pershoots tools pack though.

The linked root zip is optional, you don't have to flash right after, you can flash it whenever (but dont use any of the other rooting zips available for this tab, the linked one is the only compatible version). Your bootloop is probably caused by not wiping /data+/cache or the davlik cache. Follow the instructions in first post.

Did you try without ROM Manager the first time? If not try that first to be sure. Also provide device info please (wifi/3g/io/retail/v). I have not had any other reports of bootloops from people that were wiping data+cache+dalvik properly. You can try formatting /system (under CWM mount / storage menu option) if you are still getting this after manually doing everything through CWM at boot.
are you sure thats the 3G version? I went to download it and my pc sees it as exactly the same as the new wifi version... thank you sooo much for it either way! good looking out!!!

Wifi Retail, Locked Bootloader
I am downloading it again to make sure its nothing weird with the zip. Every time I have flashed it was CWM not in the ROM Manager. Should I try that instead?

No if its not working in CWM it wont work if you do it through ROM manager. Redownload and verify the md5 hash from the original post. Boot into CWM recovery, wipe everything mentioned and retry.
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

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
Hello! I just bought this phone today and I've just managed to unlock the bootloader and install my first rom. However my wifi has been acting very weird. It works when using stock kernel and stock rom but hasn't worked on a single custom rom. I've tried a lot of them as well such as "xenon" and "pac". What is wrong here?

I'm a new user aswell, but I used other phones b4 and I recommend you to factory reset before Installing these roms (If they are not installed over stock rom), if you install them over stock ROM(which means the zip file DOESN'T format your /system partition) you should consider a factory reset after installation.
Before trying these, if ROM developer told you to use a specific kernel, try to flash that kernel back, I had some problems while installing some kernels and could never get my Wifi to work until I reflashed the kernel.
Take a nandroid backup to your external sd card before trying these, better safe then sorry
Maybe e reflash using the lastest original kdz firmware and going to alll the root - > CMW(now is oficial) - > install custom room should be the way.

Is this ALL Wi-Fi connections, or just a particular one that you are having trouble with? Is the Router set to use WEP? If so then you're out of luck as WEP has big problems, but as it is old technology you shouldn't really be using it anyway.
i'm trying to root a samsung gt-s5830
i have already tried many different methods of rooting it. every one seems to go through the process of rooting it, but none of them actually give me root access. the last one i tried actually did install superuser, but i still don't have root access.
i've tried to root it from stock recovery and from CWM. at the moment, it has stock recovery on it.
it is a GT-S5830, android version is 2.3.6 firmware version is S5830NEKT2
this firmware version doesn't seem to be in the lists i've found of stock firmwares for this phone. the firmware came from 3 network, it was an update, installed with samsung kies.
i'd be happy to go ahead and install a custom rom, but everything i've read says i need to root first.

True, I can't find a firmware version S5830NEKT2 in the available list for our device. One thing you should know is always root your device first and then install CWM. If you install CWM first, then you will not be able to root your device. Assuming you have CWM installed now, here is what you should do,
1.Install CWM (if you already have it no problem) and perform wipes( Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partition, Mounts & Storage> Format /system, Advanced> Wipe Dalvik cache). This step is compulsory so as to remove all unnecessary files before you make a fresh installation of stock rom.
2.Install a stock firmware from here (since you are gonna install a custom rom later on, it doesn't matter which one you install. Firmware links in first post and installation details and necessary files in the second post. If you experience bootloop after flashing, go to stock recovery and do Wipe data/ factory reset and wipe cache partition & reboot).
3.Install Root from stock recovery.
4.Install CWM from stock recovery.
5.Reboot
That should be enough. Do post the result. Hope I Helped
cheers mate, i shall give that a go in a bit. i'm sorting out my girlfriend's phone for her, what would be a good rom for someone who doesn't want anything radically different or fancy? pretty much just want more responsiveness and less bloat. if i was doing it for myself i'd be wanting to try all the roms and tinker with it loads, but my girlfriend just wants her phone to work better.

Try AOSP Gingerbread for Cooper (assuming your gf's phone is Galaxy Ace S5830). This is the custom rom based on pure stock android for our device with less bloatwares and its much more cleaner and faster than CM based roms. The only problem is the data connection and the USB Mass Storage which you can solve using the fixes from here and here. Hope I Helped
