[Q] noob question: root oficial froyo

Hi there guys, i just picked up my Milestone from Motorola (had to replace my touch screen) and they sent me back with Froyo installed (i don't think they installed a retail version once it has OI courrier sim tool).
I was using ShadowModBR 0.9.16 on it before but i think i'll use the oficial Froyo for a few days but i would like to root it to uninstall some Motorola crApps.
I already tried some root Apps (Universal Androot, Easy Root, z4root, Easy One-click root, etc...) but none of them worked or i got FC.
I would like to know how to root it and backup my system (in case i wish to install a custom rom one day so i would have a backup of it - just to don't have to install the 2.1 sbf base + update it using Motorola software if one day i would like to return to it)... and because i'm a bit interested in installing CMM7 on it.
I read that i could backup it installing the Vulnerable Recovery + Androidani.. can i root it using these Apps?...
Hope that i make myself clear with these questions... thanks in advance for the reply and sorry 'bout any english mistakes.
ps: i'm kinda noob in Android system.
thx!

Copy AOR to your sd card. Flash vulnerable recovery using RSD.
Boot your phone into recovery mode, apply update.zip and there you go.
If you need portuguese assistance send a PM.

thx wise.. i just sent u a PM
---------------------------------
edit:
thx wise.. i just rooted it and backuped my nand.
for those in doubt here's a short how-to:
- 1: turn the phone off and on again entering bootloader screen.
- 2: plug usb cable and flash it using RSD Lite + VR sbf.
- 3: enter in recovery and apply update so it'll start Open Recovery.
- 4: from here you can choose to root phone, backup nand, etc..
now i'm backing up my user/system data with Titanium backup and after i'll remove the crApps.
thanks!

[HELP] Bricked Optimus Black....

Help me please...
I think I bricked my phone..
I have successfully flashed "AOKP 4.1 Build 3" Jelly Bean Rom by 'Chenleicpp' this morning. After some time I read about Rosemary font and I have flashed it using Recovery. And when I reboot my device, It stucks on boot logo ( Swagger, Horse and those wheels rounding and rounding ) I tried to enter into the Recovery by pressing G-button but cant succeed.
Please tell me what to do?

Can I use Smart Flash Tool?

use the thanks button instead
no don't use smart flash tool, you will have to go through many useless processes such as re-rooting, re-installing recovery etc
just use adb, everything is there you just can't access it

Use adb is the better thing to do. You can use smart flash tool but with rooted files which will reinstall CWM and ROM.

And as soon as you are in recovery, wipe cache, dalwik and reinstall your ROM.
You can grab a package with adb here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1189250&d=1341930218

U gave download link, but where are instructions on how to use ADB ?

I read about adb but cant understood fully, so I decided to use SFT. I flashed original v20b firmware successfully using SFT. After it I again flashed v20b Patched files by Snegovik to root and Recovery. and finally now Iam on AOKP. Thanks guys for your kind support.

[Q] [Need Help] Reboot recovery mode i got bootloop

I'am on MIUI v2.1a , this rom have not correct build.prop phone identify ( Phone model was P-970 not LG P-970 )
i want correct it , i edit via rootexplorer and i reboot and i got bootloop. its okay i think i can solve this.
1. I flashed back into v20g recovery patched to unbrick
2. When Download complete on Smartflasher my opblack reboot into recovery .
3. when i want touch navigation key ( Vol up/down ) my opblack restart
How i get reboot to recovery without root and usb debug ? i try flash it for 5 times always reboot when i want to press vol button
[ SOLVED ]
I flash the ICS Stock Rom

how if you use menu/home softkey to navigate up/down in recovery, does it still reboot?

I believe that after flashing official stock v20g, you no longer have custom recovery. You will need to root phone. Super one click on computer will do this. Then DL rom manager from market and flash custom recovery. DANGER : Make sure you have GOOD internet connection when flashing recovery. If not, you will brick phone.

no offence, but I believe you dont have or never root/use Optimus Black, right?
indeed in many device and ROMs the step regarding root and custom recovery is root first then flash custom recovery (we also use this step in froyo P970 v10* ROM).
But in P970 GB ROM, the step is opposite, custom recovery first then root (cwm injected to ROM file before flash it, flash the patched ROM, then root it by flashing superuser from cwm)

Try repatching the bin files (Make sure the md5 checksum of the recovery image you are trying to patch matches) or use another one. SFT overwrites most of the phone and the build.prop changes you made previously doesn't affect the system as it is (since it overwritten with v20g) and definately not the recovery (totally separate from system).

If you already have nandroid backup any, try to restore that.
As you said, you are unable to use buttons on CWM.
The best thing for you now is download the (Gingerbread) PATCHED V20S .bin files, just search in XDA or Google and download it and follow the instructions.
I have the same problem in the past, luckily nandroid backup saved me.

how do u unbrick?

how do i unbrick my droid 4? i havent seen a video on youtube and droid forums.net doesnt have a thread about one

A stickied thread in the Droid 4: Tech Support at Droid Forums definitely has what you're looking for, but anyways...
1) download the official ics fastboot files
2) place your phone into fastboot mode and connect to the computer
3) flash the xml using RSD lite
And for me personally, the only way I can get it to boot afterwards is to use the stock recovery and install the ota zip

For Jelly Bean 4.1.2 use the CWM recovery attached file.

Thanks!!!:good:

This CWM Custom Recovery is only for E610.
It will work on E615?

I'm having problems with my Windows 7 laptop, kingoapp not detecting my phone even after I have installed the LG USB drivers. Please are there other ways to root this phone, like using Ubuntu instead?
thanks

because I had problems with my windows 7 not detecting my LG L5 E615 phone and follow instructions to root in this thread, I found another solution that worked like a charm here: http://rootwiki.net/en/android-root-anleitungen/714-lg-optimus-l5-e610612615-root-tutorial/
downloaded the frameroot apk, and used airdroid to copy the apk to the phone

Good
Thanks bro. Good job
