Trying to root my newly aquired Motorola Milestone - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

My purpose is to get rooted, get the Android market on this phone and also want to be able to overclock and oh I want to be able to run it on the 3G network as I'm on the edge network as of now. Once again I have read countless treads and forms with no luck of finding the files I need, I'v even tried Googling the links and files individually but ALL of them are broken and I MEAN ALL OF THEM, please help, just got the phone, I really want to be able to use it as my daily driver because I've always wanted this phone even when it first came it out, and now that I have it I'm extremely happy, just got to make a few changes to use it now. Thanks in advance.

I figured, I took a chance and followed the steps and it went by smoothly, got 2 chines apps on my phone now, I deleted one and kept the vRoot one and also installed superuser so I'm guessing it worked, now I'm going to follow the other steps to get more out of this Milestone. Thanks a lot :highfive:

Morning, I have successfully completed all the steps and almost everything went by great, I got a lil confused when I had to partition my SD card so I think I did it wrong, I am using a 32GB SD card, can you help me out with the right values or point me in the right direction?

No Problem

Download MiniTool Partition tool
use THIS GUIDE
for your size of sdcard i would suggest
20GB+ for "fat32" <<< MUST BE 1ST PARTITION this is your usual sdcard
10GB for "ext4" <<< MUST BE 2ND PARTITION "this is extra system and app data space"
512MB for "swap" <<< MUST BE 3RD PARTITION this is "extra ram"
I WOULD CREATE 3RD PARTITION FIRST THEN 2ND THEN REST OF SPACE FOR 1ST ONE (SO THERE IS NO LOSS OF SPACE)
THE GUIDE IS NICE AND SIMPLE WITH ALL THE SCREENSHOTS

Thanks man I will do this when I get home, I'm at work now, one more thing, my WIFI and Bluetooth isn't working and I have CM9 installed, I have been reading and found a link that read if I googled "apndroid.apk" and install it should fix the problem, do you recommend it or would you suggest another method?

i never had this problem
you can try the app no problem
are you sure you have right bootloader and kernel ?(from the guide)
cm7 much lighter you should be happy with it
i use 9 but it lags here and there i just need it because some apps don't work on 7 (api)

I do have a theory on why it's not working tho, maybe becuz I didn't do the recovery step from titanium backup, and the reason I haven't done that is becuz when I try to download it from the play store I get an error saying that I don't have enough memory. I just partition my 32GB card again, it didn't work with the new set of instructions so Im doing it again, I have another theory as to why my partition is not working with the new set of instructions and I think that's becuz I messed up the values the very first time (using mrmuh instructions). Do you think it might be becuz of that?

I'm reading this post to install this on my Milestone 1.
Initially I thought I could just root with VRoot (1-click method) then follow Mr.muh's guide starting on step 6. But looks like I either go VRoot or all steps on Mr.muh's guide, is that right?
Another question is: I can create the partitions on the computer with MiniTool Partition Wizard before starting mr.muh's steps and later on escape mur's step 4, right?

Yea your right, you could do either or, but I suggest you do vRoot first just to get it out the way, and I do believe you can partition your SD card first and then continue with Mr.muh's guide, I wish I would have done that first so that when I try to download titanium backup I wouldn't have gotten that error of me not having enough memory.

:laugh:yay
I was able to partition my 32GB SD card and able to proceed with all the instructions, also I installed CM7, fixed my WIFI problem and Bluetooth problem as well. Thank you all for your help, is there a way I can donate to your team or you, to show my support I also bought the XDA book.
PS. I will try to mess around with CM9 later down the road, I'm just happy to be using this Motorola Milestone, my dream phone :victory:

congrats! I was also able to install CM7 by using VRoot and following Mr Muh's guide (except step 5 since phone was already rooted and I had nothing to backup)
Thanks IGGYVIP, for helps and links.

Noob Question bout rooting

Hey there guys I'm new to the site and also to the rooting of the phone and everything and Im not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I have the crc1 build number 1.5 version firmware and I have tried to root my phone to use some themes from this website but I can't format my sdcard. When I right click and click on format it says "no disk in drive, please insert disk then try again" and it automatically unmounts my sdcard. Any reason why it's doing this? I hope someone could help me out here. Thank you!

Are you just trying to format to fat32 on your pc or are you wanting all the partitions (fat32, ext2/3/4, and linux-swap). Have you tried any of the commands in terminal? Have you tried Ubuntu? There is a tut in my sig on how to do it.
Try using a card reader instead of the phone. My wife's G1 does this for some reason. Mine doesn't however, not sure why cause I have a card reader and it was easier to do that than to figure it out.
Well I was looking at the ultimate noob thread about how to root. I pretty much want to use themes on here and also use custom boot logo's and things like that. But no matter what computer I try it says to insert a disk. I don't have a card reader on my computer. I'm just trying to format it to fat32 as of right now. Then after I do that I should be able to follow the instructions to root my phone.

Do it thru Ubuntu. Ubuntu will pick it up thru the phone. Know this for sure had to help someone out with this.
Isn't linux sweet, it just works.
Alright guys I will try that out now and let you know if it works or not. Thank you. After I root my phone should I follow the steps in the guide to update the ROM and everything like thaT?
Nevermind I fixed it.

Lol, actually I thought it worked but it actually didn't. I'm still stuck not being able to format my sdcard. I'm downloading that ubuntu program as we speak but I don't know how I will read the tutorial you got in your sig and do it at the same time. lol.
Nevermind guys, I noticed under "build number" it says CRC1. I have tried to format my sdcard on my computer and it says enter disk, I've tried rooting it through other videos I've watched and nothing. I guess I won't be able to get it to work after all. Thanks though guys for your help!
i recently upgraded my OS to android 2.3.3 from a website i found on here. it works fine and all but i was wondering since i have never really done any rooting or anything, and i was wondering how i would go about possibly adding a different ROM to my phone or if i have to take my phone all the way back to stock before i do it? Also since im a noob and all, i will need step by step directions on how to do it. i already have odin3 on my computer and used it to get my 2.3.3 update. is there a way to over lay 2.3.4 or any further update they might come out with and how would i do that? also my 2.3.3 update didnt really take any of the bloatware out or anything. i know taking it out makes the phone's speed faster and all, that might be something i'd like to look into doing. really any help from you more experienced ppl would help me out awesomely.
if u need my phone's upgrade info it is:
Samsung SGH-I897
firmware is 2.3.3
baseband : I897UCKF1
kernal : 2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL273832
build number : Gingerbread.UCKF1
are you trying to format it via usb while it is still in your phone?? lol you dont 'have to' format your sd card to root device... you can format it after installing a custom recovery,
it just says to format it at first because if you flash a custom rom, there will be files on your sd card from 1.5ota and might mess with rom... so just format it after you flash the custom recovery

[Q] Update easy step by step guide to HTC salsa root?

Hello everyone,
Firstly what a great website. Thank you. I am a 'noob', I have watched the video, searched the posts etc, However as someone who understands very little technological jargon, I was looking for a step by step, recent, updated guide to rooting the HTC Salsa.
Now don't be fooled...I actually have no idea about rooting...I have only just learned about this from searching internal memory issues. However, I am good and following step by step instructions/videos etc
So, can anyone link me to the correct thread, if it has already been posted or help to guide me?
Thanks in advance

there are several others..
Now the route for rooting just got easier....its much more easier to flash a new rom.....as it comes with preroot anyway, saving a lot of time and agro!
its a choice thats up to you!
Go here >http://www.wix.com/bigbearevo/salsa for how to create stuff and do stuff to your phone! I compiled it so people could find it easier...
Thank you BBE,
however I'd be lying if I said that I fully understood any of that!!
I am happy to choose whatever is the easier option, although I am not sure which that is. I looked on your website, but I really didn't understand what part I should be following. I could also not see how to join.
So, would it be possible for you advise me again, with one option that is the easiest. I do not know what flashing a ROM is, but am happy to follow instructions.
Thanks for your patience
Ruthie
Lol that's nps
Ok few questions first to help find which route you want to take.
Do you want to Change what your using right now?
I mean by u are using sense stock.
Check in android development for Roms of choice to figure out what u like.
Flashing is the process in which you install a new rom.
I myself am a serial flasher, meaning while I make Roms I constantly flash my phone lol.
What do u want out of rooting?
Are u just going for the increased memory or do u want a change in appearance too?
The options are.
Keep your stock rom, root it and increase memory.
Flash a custom rom, pleanty around now, advantage with this is most things are Inc that u would have to do on stock rom.
To do this also. U may need to su things prior.
Just to start you off.
Turn off phone and pull out battery.
Reinsert battery, hold down volume key and press power with volume key pressed down.
HBOOT will appear. At the top will be alot of numbers etc. I need to see if you have old or new updates.
If u have old u may need to unlock bootloader with updates first. Easy to do.
Fill in this and choose the way u want and I shall help you succeed in your goal.
BB
Wasn't me............ ;-)
Hi BBE
I still don't understand the abbreviations: nps, su etc?
Anyway this is what phone says:
ICON_g PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.07.0000
MICROP-0558
RADIO-7.51.35.19
Dec 15 2011, 12:57:05
I am ideally looking to increase memory. My phone has been stuck without functioning properly for about 4 weeks now. I am happy to include a new ROM if this also increases my memory, but to be honest I don't really care about changing the image of my phone but am happy to do so if this helps.
I am not really sure what I am looking for in my 'ROM of choice' so there is little point in me looking unless it is really obvious? But perhaps you can guide me?
Thanks again
Ruthie
P.S I am more than happy to get rid of many of vodafones pre-installed applications.

nps = no problems
look in rom development section, see threads with[ROM] in it, see pictures and whats included in the roms it self.
personally if you want standard use a sense rom
Options are
Thing rom
Bigbear x series V10
Minds sense 3.5
reason i state this is the rooting part.
All custom roms have root/New SU (Superuser rights app)
This is required to run the increased memory.
NOTE Updating HBOOT?UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR ROM CLEAN.
BACK EVERYTHING UP U CAN
You need to update your HBOOT.
Goto HTCDev >http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Register (takes a few mins)
plug your phone into the pc and select charge option.
Download these >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?68k4zzzeamjwswt
extract these in to a new folder on c: called Android
now follow instructions to update your HBOOT.
Ok assuming the HBOOT is now updated via HTCDev
You can follow the rest of the instructions to unlock the bootloader, takes around 15mins or so.
So you got the email with the unlock.bin file.
add that into the Android folder u made with those files in there.
Follow instructions again to begin your unlock.
All Done.
so you have updated the HBOOT and unlock bootloader....
Good now for the next bit.
Installing CWM 5
This is a program installed into the phone itself.
This allows you to do pretty much anything you want.
Main thins are Backup and restore of your device.
Flashing of custom Roms
here is recovery >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bumma6im6fu8q4b
this is pretty easy to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438804
this shows how to install the recovery.
Once you have done this, then its upto you if your root it or install a new rom.
...................................................................................................
New Memory
So to increase the memory partition u need to complete the previous task.
Now then.
Tools required for this next task.
Minitool partition wizard >http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
SD READER for your pc.
About 30mins of your time.
Ok to start with
Turn off your phone, remove sd and place into the reader and into your pc via USB slot.
Now open up The partition wizard.
Personally id back up your sd right now...just in case.
Now select your sd and create a new partition
You want to create and EXT3 partition and select it as Primary only, apply actions, now it will do its thing, watch as it works.
Now if this has completed the sd may register as bad....don't worry.
Unplug reader and reinsert back to pc, now you should have 2 partitions on your sd EXT3 max 1gb and the rest fat32
this shouldn't have touched your fat32 section but if you didn't follow it right and it got wiped...just copy back your backup onto the sd now.
ok reinsert the sd into your phone and start it up.
now to get access to this new memory...it all depends on what rom you are using.
On stock or stock based rom which have NO APPS2SD.
all roms state if this has it or not. mine dont.
now using a set script you have to flash this in recovery mode to enable the new memory.
For APPS2SD use this >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qr5rh2fho1hnbnl
Roms WITHOUT APPS2SD >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?duigp9ky9796b65
Using the wrong one will cause problems so be very clear what u want.
reboot phone and enjoy new memory.

Hi,
I followed your thread and unlocked boot loader of my htc salsa from HTC Dev, and also successfully done with recovery.
but the main target to unlock my phone is to make it root so that i can run vpn application as root on my phone and also get rid of low internal memory issue.
Since my phone is S-On, so my question can i make it root ( I think no), what is the solution to make S-Off. Itsn't there any solution without using XTC Clip (I dnt wanna buy such thing)
Please reply.....

Try not to add in a thread into your post. It takes up so much space and isn't required. Answer to your question is yes of course u can root without s-off. Its called unlocking your bootloader. Then add recoveery then root. Its easy. Please follow my guide in other threads to do this.

HTC Salsa Memory
Hi Big Bear, primarily thank you for all your posts and info which I found really helpful.
My Phone:HTC Salsa
HBOOT-1.07.0000
My problem is:
I used XTC Clip to S-OFF my HTC Salsa, and rooted it. My main aim is to increase its internal memory. So I followed the thread step by step. After rooting the phone (downloaded "root.zip"), I did the 3 wipes and installed CWM 5.0.2.6. Booted phone and all was fine. I did the 3 wipes again, booted the phone and allowed the ROM to fully boot. Then I entered into the HBOOT --> Recovery --> Install zip from SD Card --> installed "htc-data2sd-ext3.zip" and rebooted phone. I used 16gb Class 10 micro (Partitioned using Minitool to ext3 using just 800mb and the rest FAT32, first partition FAT32 and the second partition ext3 both as Primary). I was really happy with the result as when I booted my SD showed 800mb of free space.
I started to download my favourite applications and all was fine. I then switched off phone, placed the SIM and switched back on. Phone reception was very low too, just one or two bars but otherwise all was fine for about an hour until it started to give me several errors of Force Closing. SMSs won't arrive as when I clicked messages, it Force Closes, the same happened with the GMAIL application. I restored the phone to my back up and I did the process all again for about 6 times even using different SD cards but the result was always the same.
So now I restored again, using CWM 5026, created ext3 partition again and downloaded Link2SD. This however is making almost no difference and my internal memory left is now only about 40mb. Phone is working fine, Full Mobile Network Reception, messages work fine too but I did not solve the memory problem.
Am I missing something? Any help from you is greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to hearing from you when you have time.
Thank you so much once again.

Hi Big Bear, primarily thank you for all your posts and info which I found really helpful.
My Phone:HTC Salsa
HBOOT-1.07.0000
My problem is:
I used XTC Clip to S-OFF my HTC Salsa, and rooted it. My main aim is to increase its internal memory. So I followed the thread step by step. After rooting the phone (downloaded "root.zip"), I did the 3 wipes and installed CWM 5.0.2.6. Booted phone and all was fine. I did the 3 wipes again, booted the phone and allowed the ROM to fully boot. Then I entered into the HBOOT --> Recovery --> Install zip from SD Card --> installed "htc-data2sd-ext3.zip" and rebooted phone. I used 16gb Class 10 micro (Partitioned using Minitool to ext3 using just 800mb and the rest FAT32, first partition FAT32 and the second partition ext3 both as Primary). I was really happy with the result as when I booted my SD showed 800mb of free space.
I started to download my favourite applications and all was fine. I then switched off phone, placed the SIM and switched back on.

Can I upgrade Hboot from 1.07 to 1.08 since I am now S-OFF? If yes, how can I go about it?
Thank you for your help.
HTC Salsa Hboot 1.08.000
Hi Vigoos, thank you once again for your help. I have managed to follow another thread about Hboot Update for S-OFF. I followed it, updated the bootloader and now I have 1 gb of ext3 memory.
Thanks to you, Problem solved. Wonderful job, keep it up!
Cheers:good:
Please help
Hey @BigBearEvo
I intend to root my friends HTC Salsa and I think yours is the best method out there. The rest kinda confuse me. However, the links dont seem to work. I am unable to download anything.
I understand that your post is old and there could be some updates as of today. Do you know of any better method or how to go about?
All my friend wants to do is get some more internal memory.
Thanks
BigBearEvo said:
nps = no problems
look in rom development section, see threads with[ROM] in it, see pictures and whats included in the roms it self.
personally if you want standard use a sense rom
Options are
Thing rom
Bigbear x series V10
Minds sense 3.5
reason i state this is the rooting part.
All custom roms have root/New SU (Superuser rights app)
This is required to run the increased memory.
NOTE Updating HBOOT?UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR ROM CLEAN.
BACK EVERYTHING UP U CAN
You need to update your HBOOT.
Goto HTCDev >http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Register (takes a few mins)
plug your phone into the pc and select charge option.
Download these >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?68k4zzzeamjwswt
extract these in to a new folder on c: called Android
now follow instructions to update your HBOOT.
Ok assuming the HBOOT is now updated via HTCDev
You can follow the rest of the instructions to unlock the bootloader, takes around 15mins or so.
So you got the email with the unlock.bin file.
add that into the Android folder u made with those files in there.
Follow instructions again to begin your unlock.
All Done.
so you have updated the HBOOT and unlock bootloader....
Good now for the next bit.
Installing CWM 5
This is a program installed into the phone itself.
This allows you to do pretty much anything you want.
Main thins are Backup and restore of your device.
Flashing of custom Roms
here is recovery >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bumma6im6fu8q4b
this is pretty easy to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438804
this shows how to install the recovery.
Once you have done this, then its upto you if your root it or install a new rom.
...................................................................................................
New Memory
So to increase the memory partition u need to complete the previous task.
Now then.
Tools required for this next task.
Minitool partition wizard >http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
SD READER for your pc.
About 30mins of your time.
Ok to start with
Turn off your phone, remove sd and place into the reader and into your pc via USB slot.
Now open up The partition wizard.
Personally id back up your sd right now...just in case.
Now select your sd and create a new partition
You want to create and EXT3 partition and select it as Primary only, apply actions, now it will do its thing, watch as it works.
Now if this has completed the sd may register as bad....don't worry.
Unplug reader and reinsert back to pc, now you should have 2 partitions on your sd EXT3 max 1gb and the rest fat32
this shouldn't have touched your fat32 section but if you didn't follow it right and it got wiped...just copy back your backup onto the sd now.
ok reinsert the sd into your phone and start it up.
now to get access to this new memory...it all depends on what rom you are using.
On stock or stock based rom which have NO APPS2SD.
all roms state if this has it or not. mine dont.
now using a set script you have to flash this in recovery mode to enable the new memory.
For APPS2SD use this >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qr5rh2fho1hnbnl
Roms WITHOUT APPS2SD >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?duigp9ky9796b65
Using the wrong one will cause problems so be very clear what u want.
reboot phone and enjoy new memory.
here are my guides showing the how 2
HTC Unlock >http://bigbearevo.wix.com/salsa/faqs---guides#!__faqs---guides
Install recovery >http://bigbearevo.wix.com/salsa/faqs---guides#!__faqs---guides/recovery
EXT3 Creation > http://bigbearevo.wix.com/salsa/faqs---guides#!__faqs---guides/ext3-creation

there's a few roms to choose from, all have good and bad points..i can tell you what these are if you require, but .as i created some of these roms i won't tell you what's better or worse as its your choice lol
lol I accept your point. I will try doing by my own.
My reqirement for the ROM is very simple, to increase my internal memory for atleast 300mb and smooth running OS.. Any suggestion for me.?

are you a heavy app user? i stress this as there's stable roms and some unstable but nice roms...
example..
using my own Holo 2 Based rom...
1.03gb internal memory 23% free at the minute (244mb)
280 applications 129 System/151 User
No errors what so ever.
On App2sd roms ie m1ndh8x4r/Einstein frat/razor (im not dissing or flaming any users roms, just stating facts using app2sd)
using same internal memory as mine and the data2sd script available for those app2sd roms, you won't get passed 225 apps total inc system, as there's something in the script creating and error in the dalvik storage, this is an ongoing problem and has yet to be fixed lol.
if your a light weight user then any rom can be used, if your a heavy user like me...then you have my rom only at the minute.
based on your 300mb idea..id would suggest a nicely themed one....check my website for rom details available on older roms.
roms at the moment consist of 2.3.3 (Mine), 2.3.5 )Wildfire S Port), 2.3.5 (Pico Sense 3.5 port)
All roms 2.3.5 and above are non Salsa based, there all ports.
so there's advantages and disadvantages...you make the choice based on your needs.

[Q] custom kernel and ROM help/clarification

Hi guys, first of all, yes I'm noob, but neither I'm dumb or lazy. All I'm looking for is being pointed in the right direction, and some help in understanding how to upgrade the phone to something different than a paperweight or brick, whichever you prefer..
I've been considering upgrading my X8 with a custom ROM, and been reading a lot, but info is still very confusing, and in some threads downloads aren't available anymore. So i decided to create this thread and try to sum all my questions at once... If you could point out some easy guide links, I'd appreciate.
So.. Here's where I'm at.. I already rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader. And now I'm stuck..
I dunno how to properly backup my data (i want call log, messages, images, apps, etc...), neither how to backup my ROM and stock kernel.
Also i find the flashing kernel and ROM process still a bit confusing. Dunno how to safely proceed to upgrade it.
And finally I'm confused in which ROM i should choose. I've looked at MiniCM10 with JB, but there are some minor bugs. I also saw SEMC Debrand Engine, ICZaraki and SonySX ROMs that looked great, but i'm unsure which will be best for me. I'm not looking for flashing it many times, in preference, I'd love to do it only once, and get it right at first. All i want is a fast, stable, bug free, and good looking ROM.
Thanks.
StArt from ics by naa
Just make backup of your rom before doing else ..
And if you want fast and stable.use cm7 or gingerdx ..
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
1. ROMs are constantly updated when a more stable version has been built.
2. ROM can be backed up in CWM recovery (or TWRP if you are using it). Just go to Backup and restore and select backup.
3. Images that are stored in the sdcard are not deleted unless you format it.
4. It's pretty much impossible to brick (the coma brick) a phone while flashing ROMs. You may suffer from bootloops though, which is what we call a soft brick. Just make sure you factory reset and wipe cache partition (or whatever the particular ROM requires you to do; that's why there are instructions).
5. Good luck.

2. What or What??? Maybe you missed the part where i said i'm a noob, and therefor can't understand all the Acronyms you spell.. And that is a BIG part of all my confusion in understanding most posts.
4. Factory reset i suppose it's on the phone menu, but how exactly do I wipe the cache?
This is why i asked for some proper guide links. I know you probably have been repeating the same things over and over again, and don't want to be one more, all i ask for is proper direction.

Thanks bryan, yes my phone is rooted but all apps i see are Superuser and Titanium Backup, no xrecovery or cwm...
As for the brands own backup app, i used it already, and i think it backups pretty much all the data i need. If that's enough, great. But i still need to learn how to backup ROM and kernel before proceeding to flash.
Once again, some pointers are appreciated.. Thanks.
everything x8/w8 still doesn't tell me how to backup my stock rom and kernel.. don't i need this in case things go wrong or i simply want to roll back to stock?
Thanks.
Thanks for that help, but which one to chose?
1. Free Xperia CWM 4.0.1.5
2. nobodyAtall CWM 3.2.0.0r3
3. nobodyAtall CWM 3.2.0.0r4
Thanks again!
Wow!!! A lot clear now...
Finally i understand how the backup and update is done.
But i'm still confused with the kernel, sorry.. Is there no need to back it up?
Also how do i choose which kernel is best for me, alfs or nAa?
Thanks.

the choice of kernel depends on which rom you're planning to use. some roms can be used on top of different kernels, so you may have to test them for yourself first.

Hello again,
I decided to go with MiniCM10, but i want to partition 2Gb of my 8Gb SD card for swap and apps, and i'm a little confused..
According to:
needs a clean install of miniCM10:
flash JB kernel
in CWM, go to mount&storage :
then, format /system, /data and /cache (so that kernel can use the new partitions size) any data on phone memory will be lost
set up your swap:
==> go to /advanced/Partition SD Card
if you don't want to use a2sd, then choose the minimal size for ext, and the size you want for SWAP
it will FORMAT your SDcard ! any data on SDcard will be LOST
and install the rom
swap partition should work
what doesn't work is the swap info menu
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All my SD card data will be lost, is this true? If so, how do i proceed to backup and restore my backups to my sd card?
I also read this in SIII ROM:
how to partition your sd card:
first
download this new link: http://easeus-partition-master-home-....softonic.com/
its free and you need it to partition your sd card or any other partition tool
8GB as a guide just change to sd size
1. back up your sd card to pc/laptop
2. open partition tool select your sd card and resize to 6gb
3. now with unallocated space make a new partition in ext3/4 2gb (make sure that both partitions are primary NOT logical )
4. now format both partitions
5. now put all your files back on your sd card. windows will only see the 6gb fat32 partition don't worry thats fine
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Would this be applicable for MiniCM10 ROM swap procedure? It seems so much easier..
Thanks again for all your patience in helping me understand what i'm doing and guide me in doing it right.
Thanks!
been reading more and more about partitioning SD, and i'm even more confused.. I think it's better to consider this thread closed, and i'll open a new one dedicated to SD card operations..
Thanks for all you help everyone!

you need to install proper drivers for your device to work
you can get it from Flashtool Directory>drivers>Flashtool-drivers.exe
run the executable file and choose the drivers for x8, fastboot, flashmode to be sure

[Q] Help me ROOT my Galaxy Note!

Hello,
After coming back from holiday, my phone suddenly stopped recognising my SIM. It see's a SIM so I no longer get an (Insert SIM Message) but I can't do anything with the sim. This is what I see.
Due to this problem I tried resetting my phone to no avail, I then stumbled upon this. I thought that this was fantastic, I could fix it without going to a store or whatever.
On my quest to root my phone for the first time ever I used a guide from the reliable How-To-Geek. I did everything the guide asked me to but unfortunately my adventure came to a halt when 'SuperOneClick' kept freezing when reaching step 7.
I have never rooted my phone so I really don't know where to begin, your help would be greatly, greatly appreciated! :good:
P.S (I have never rooted or ROM'd this phone before?
Here is what you can do
Which model is it ?? International or is it a locked network ??

Hello, do you mean for the SIM? It is the exact same as the screenshot of my settings in the first post. This is because I didn't manage to root it yesterday
The phone is completely fine apart from the SIM problem, that's why I want to root it
The __ONLY__ Current method you should be using to root is the philz kernel method. do not use any other method.

Thank you very much dude,
I am slightly confused by the terms used. As you can see from my thread, I initially tried using SuperOneClick which seemed simple as it just involved installing apps on my computer and clicking 'Root'.
Currently on my phone, I don't have to backup anything as I just reset it a couple of days ago, it has its stock rom (I believe that's what it is called) Would I have to install a custom ROM or something to root my phone?
Lastly, is this the thread you are talking about?
Thank you very much again dude

Super one click anything is either a lie and bull**** or simply not for this device
Yes that's the correct thread
Make sure to find the right one for YOUR ROM. Read the instructions carefully. No you don't need a custom ROM.
Easiest way to to flash it from stock recovery with the philz file on your external SD card if u have one

In your system settings you will go yo about phone. Match the version there to the Phil version.
I still don't get why you are rooting to fix this...
I am not sure who told you rooting would fix this...
You went on vacation and came back and the sim didn't work
Did you try removing the sim and reseating it in the phone?

Look at the original post. A user had the same problem and his solution was Titanium Backup Pro, he used it to clear user cache or something - this made the SIM work again.
I've taken out the SIM and everything, it works on other phones, just not mine
Lastly, about matching the version on my phone to the one on the thread:
Do I match the baseband version/Kernel Version or build number?

you match the kernel
Really man you MUST read the instructions in the philz thread its very clear.
Well you can try all that, I personally if it were my device would flash philz (safe kernel), boot to recovery, and just do a factory reset and see if it works... but I would only do this AFTER backing up my EFS using Ktool....
ggood luck
but if you want to try clearing cache etc first, no harm done of course
Just a side-note: regarding your links, etc that you post in the OP - I won't read those. I don't think other reputable members here will either. No offense please. I only trust sources on XDA, not random websites. If its not on xda, as far as I'm concerned, it is either incorrect or doesn't exist (i will act blind to it).
The Philz kernel for the Note is easy to find via google. Look either direct for the kernel or look for a PA installation guide and skip the odin option.

There is only one root account on a galaxy note, so it is the one-and-only-best.
If you want to root your device read Dr. Ketan's thread (search for it, good excercise for your brain).
And: best rom xyz posts or threads are against XDA rules.
Just read it: your best Rom thread yesterday was closed. Repeating this won't help...
