Flash with Cyogen etc.

Hi again
I found these one's:
Cyogen Makin' Bacon
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? t=613812
RA Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? t=611829
Can I just flash these one's on my phone now when it's unlocked? How do I do that? When I'm flashing Cyogen's Makin Bacon Addon, how do I do that? Can that only be done Bacon Addon, how do I do that? Can that only be done through ADB? Or can I use fastboot?

theres a tutorial in the development section, but the breakdown is you need to boot into the bootloader by holding powerbutton+trackball then once in there by fastboot on your pc run the fastboot oem unlock command.

OK
But the problem is that I have flashed my N1 with superboot. It is working OK. But I want the new recovery as mentioned above. Then can I just flash the N1 the same way I flashed it with Superboot?

OK
What I ment was, if I can flash the N1 with the Cyogen Makin Bacon image as I did with the Superboot image?

no actually you just put the cyanogens rom on your sd cards root folder, then in your recovery thing you just apply any zip if you have RA's Recovery.

OK
Will this overwrite the Superboot incl. It's apps (Superuser Permission)? Or what will happen to it?
Br
RasmusJV

he's cyanogen.

yes it overwrites them but it auto installs another copy of su permission. and kozm0naunt were aware thanks for the spam though

Hey everyone sup? I need Help Because my client has a Droid Eris phone, he has stuff that he dont want to loose, i never re-flashed or programmed a droid phone but i have experience in computer repair because i own my own computer company at home, i know C++ programming etc. but i never hacked a droid before, can one of you give me an tutorial on what i need (tools etc) andbasic instructions on hacking his phone to where he can do custom apps and use any carrier or plan on his phone like sprint, att, etc..???? thx alot if u can, plus ill help anyone with advice for computer related issues cause im the man when it comes to computer problems.

How about a sticky that says "If you can't understand the unlocking and flashing procedures listed on this site, then you had better not try to do anything with your phone as it will most likely end in tears".
Seems like that would help. If you need to ask questions, you haven't researched enough. And will most likely get stuck and come crying back here, or even end up bricking your phone and having to throw it in the garbage.

Well, as you seem like you should be smarter then this, this is the Nexus One forums. This board has forums for all sorts of HTC phones, and I'm sure you'd get a great answer, if you posted in the right section. Or, even, how about doing a Google search? You'd probably get more answers from that too, then from posting in the wrong forum. Thanks for stopping by though.

Any way to get a 2.1 ROM without rooting?

I have a Mac, none of these .exe files will run. Is there a way I can just mount my Hero, download a zipfile, drop it in there and get a 2.1 ROM? I thought I could with Damageless?

um I have a MAC and you don't need any .exe files to root your phone. use the guide in the sticky at the top of the forum and your good to go.

No, you must gain root one way or another to get a recovery image on there to flash ROMs...

Thanks, but I cant be assed doing all that work. Isnt there something that auto roots for you with a download and a few clicks?

yeah, but its an .exe. honestly, if you cant be assed to take 5 minutes to root manually, youre in wrong forum.

I see. Once I root, I then have to flash a ROM too. This all takes 5 minutes? The instructions to flash dont look too detailed. Is there alot involved?

Rooting- quick. Flashing- pretty quick. First boot-dreadfully long.
Sent from my HERO200 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

but u could flash it quicker with the Godspeed recovery.

Not to be a ****, but.....wow, are you going to piss and moan in every forum online about this? Didn't you say you were done with the Hero and going back to the iphone or something not to long ago in phandroid........Just root and get it over with already.

Well if you don't want do all that work then I suggest you just wait for the official release.
The only auto rooter is for windows. Rooting and flashing ROMs can lead to problems. If you are unwilling to put some effort into it then you are going to end up bricking your phone or running into what we on the forum would consider a small problem. However, it will turn into a huge issue because you don't understand some basic functionality of the recovery shell and wouldn't know how to access ADB to enter a couple commands to help diagnose.
This is an issue about you coming back and asking 101 questions and have people hold your hand because you can't be bothered to learn a couple things about a new world you are trying to enter.
If you are unwilling to learn then please leave these forums because I can tell you are going to be nothing but trouble.

spend the time reading everything fully first, this will save you time and make you more comfortable.
BTW, you can root with the flashrec method if you'd like with any computer platform, but to do anything useful like remove bloatware, you're going to need the adb from the SDK at least. I would root through terminal if I were you, its not hard and many helpful people on here, including myself. I've rooted 2 phones on mac, and 3 on PC already. Just give me a pm, if you run into trouble somewhere.
Things not to forget
USB debugging needs to be on (settings--applications--development)
commands in terminal require ./ before the adb commands
Rooting is easier on a mac than pc... no drivers to install.

dont use flashrec jus do it through adb go to the stiki wiki and read how to root hero cdma for mac all you have to do is download the sdk it basically sets itsself up download asroot2 put it in the tools folder in your sdk and the recovery image of choice then simply copy and paste the commands from the guide its really that simple..

root with godspeed..........................woot woot

I would suggest rooting manually. You will learn some basic ADB commands.

maybe its just me but cant u use bootcamp and install xp or win7 and do it from there or is your Apple IIc just not up to the task..

mbell, didnt you get banned from android forums for spamming/flaming/trolling?
nothing personal but dont do that here or you''ll get banned even quicker.
But on the side note welcome to the forums! xD

[Q] help me please!!!???

so a buddy of mine rooted his wifes eris, and sorta messed up the root, he can get to clockwork mod and all, BUT any rom he tries to flash will say error at line 9 or line 6 not enough space on device, aborting operation....
he also failed to make an nand back up so basically we are stuck in clockwork
someone help! how do we either fix this to flash a rom or unroot/return to stock this device??
we have tryed the RUU method but it doesnt reconize the drvice because we are in clock work
and we have try the pbm img but s=on so were locked out

If s=on then i dont think he got root

That sounds like the type of stuff i would get. that or a push file via adb thing. It doesn't sound like a clockwork bricking. The problem with CWM is that it doesn't have the verification step that amon-ra does. Are you flashing roms from these forums? I trust the devs here, but I don't think I would flash a rom that isn't from here w/o a recommendation from one of the devs. I would plug the phone in and let it go for a bit and try again after it has a charge.

yes we can power on we can use cwm mod hell we can place a pbmimg on the sd card, it just wont read it because s=on at the time
in doing a massive google search
any chance this would work
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hacking-help/37717-unroot-unbrick-using-sbf-post-ikithme.html
if not anyone got any ideas?

3 more questions
a: is there a way to get s=off without android loaded, between just the bootloader and cwm avalible? this way we can hopefully just use the pbmimg
B: is there a way to replace cwm with amon ra in this current state to use flashback21? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
and this is a really crazy thought but can we take the backup we created tonight from his eris... both phones are EXACTLY alike, purchased at the same time and all...and use it to flash in cwm to recover the dead phone?

there is way to flash S=OFF through recovery. Flash the file from here..

In order to use a nandroid from a different phone you need to change a few things to make it work. I read it somewhere. If I find it ill let ya know

This is only supposed to work if you have bootloader version 1.49. If you're lucky like me and have 1.47 it won't work. That's according to bftbo. He's tried both.

5) During reboot you will get a Red Triangle with a "!" inside, this is normal (First boot after flashing SuperSu will show the Red triangle twice.Wait for system to boot (this will take awhile). It may appear like the system has frozen but it has not. JUST WAIT!
*****VERIZON USERS******
It has come to my attention that some users have encountered abnormally long first boot time(over 20 minutes before first time setup)
To resolve this issue:
Boot into bootloader by pulling the battery and reinserting it and holding VOL- and phugging in the phone. then typing:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot2.img
fastboot reboot

yea i know how to input bootloader commands now sorry about that i was being a little slow. I just wanna know if i could flash boot2 cuz on the op it only says to do that after it goes into twrp and i flash supersu then if it gets stuck in boot. Mine got stuck when it was rebooting before i could put the adb reboot recovery thing. So i just want to know if i can do the boot2 command before flashing supersu or if i can just reboot to recovery and flash a rom? Sorry for being rude I was just irritated in failing to root.

At this point you can just install roms. The boot2.img is mainly for first boot situations after the bootloader flashing.

Sorry should have added this is during the boot up stage..here is a copy & paste I keep handy:
While the device is powered off, press and hold Vol - and Power button. When you see the LG logo quickly release only the power button and re-press and hold the power button (Never let go of the Vol - button) This will boot you into the LG Factory reset screen. ONLY USE THIS METHOD IF YOU HAVE TWRP INSTALLED!!!!! OTHERWISE YOU WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE!!!!! Choose yes to both options and you will be rebooted into TWRP. TWRP intercepts this command and ignores the factory reset part.

When you state follow this guide ( i have to say the LG dev community is kinda of rude and does not even explain anything to new comers from other devices...) Do you mean i need to follow every step or some steps this is why i say the LG Dev community is all over the place nothing is set in stone there is not one way to do like most Samsung users are used to. I would hope that you could elaborate a little more if you are offering to help.
I am not trying to be a jerk i'm just use to nicer dev community. I have done dev work... I have not had any other device besides Samsung for the longest time and i and will be switching back once the S8 or note 8 comes out.
To get me but i would like to root this device and i would like more then a point here to do it because you don't have some time to explain what needs to be done....
Again i am not trying to be rude just trying to learn the process on the LG dev side... Do not want to brick my device if i can prevent it.

Yes every step i am new as well and i got to say this was the most complex toot i have ever done. But every single comand bust be typed.. Ignore the $ sign. Install sdk not the smaller version of adb.
