Please stop posting this. Not only have you posted it at least 3 times, it isn't going to work. You couldn't have rooted with this method unless you have already flashed the engineering rom.

He has been reported to cyberpolice, and if he posts it again consequences will never be the same!

Sorry I ruined everything
It's really great to have you guys helping me out. I thought I might help someone else with what I found.
1. Yes it did finally root and it worked flawlessly first time. I spent several hours of wasted life trying the loop command that never worked. This requires no loop in ADB. So I was very happy to share my knowledge.
2. If you check my thread I started a month ago I got a bunch of grief because I was asking legitimate questions that others were having a problem with as well.
3. The threads I posted was to help others like me who couldn't root their phones. It's not like I'm trying to ruin the XDA site for you. I come here because I get info that helpful people share with me and try to return the favor.
I wasn't born with a computer attached and maybe you guys were. Likely though you had to learn like the rest of us from other people being nice enough to share their knowledge.
Maybe I should've posted this link instead. Here!

Issues with the forum

The Epic forum has become too congested with problematic kernals, roms, and even the clockwork mod isn't working the way it should. There are so many threads on getting clockwork mod to work thats its become ridiculous. I believe this needs to be monitored more closely. For example, i look on how to flash clockwork recovery mod, and there are 4 different threads, with 4 different kernals with recovery mods, and 4 different clockwork mod files. Its way too confusing and most of them don't work with the update, or is causing bad things to happen to phones. Nothing is consistent with these kernals, roms, and recoveries. I put this thread in the development section because it all has to do with development of the Epic. Forum just seems congested to me.

These are all kernels/roms that will work with clockwork. They needed to add something for it to work and subsequently decided to put that relevant information in the title of their thread because its something that I would personally look for.

No there is one clockwork recovery. There is probably two ways to flash it though one through ODIN and one through clockwork itself.

You're new to the whole Android thing, huh? This is what development is.
There is ONE working Clockwork Mod Recovery right now, and Koush himself released it. There is a flashable .zip kernel for the people who had the old version, noobnl version.
There are multiple kernels out because they do different things for the phone.
We also have two versions of root access right now. The one click root method we have stickied at the top is janky and inefficient compared to the kernel root we have.
This is how Android development works, especially until we have some full-fledged ROMs available. Threads like this make it harder for new users to get through this section (Now, when someone searches "Clockwork" or anything related, this completely unhelpful thread comes up). This is not Android development.

Dude, sometimes ppl can step in **** and still walk on a clean carpet without wiping their feet off first. It's funny how they can just dump on someone when they are merely expressing what they feel about how the forums is. i would have to somewhat agree with you, I've been searching through the **** for over two weeks and still noone has a goddamn real fix for getting a phone to boot into the right recovery mode. I still haven't been able to enjoy not one of these so-called roms as of yet. Even after doing everything to the tee. I have root...but don't think I have permanent root. Tried the fix for that....no happenings. They work hard to make these roms and I really would appreciate it if I could actually use them. I'm a persistant mofo tho...still trying at it...just make it a bit more easier to find what I need to get this **** to work.

You need to continue to read all the threads pertaining to what you're trying to do instead of getting anxious because you don't know what your doing. Look in general or questions and ask in those threads. All the answers are in these forums. I am only 2 months new to android, came into it without a clue. Didn't know what root was intill I seen an app in the market requiring it for use. Now I've got permanent root clockwork and I've tried all these roms and kernels without a problem. Patients and research is all you need. Filling up a post with explicit frustration won't help you progress.

Thank you for your input...I too am in the same amount of time as you when it comes to the Epic. Perhaps my issue is...I can't seem to get the searching bit right as I keep running into pretty much the same threads. Yes I do do the research, like I said, been at this for 2 weeks. The problem is the damn phone will not do what it's supposed to do. I am now trying another method and is hoping like hell it works. I wanna give these roms a go around too. As far as being anxious, I got nerve pills for that and I do take them regularly. LOL

As for you, I'm not the one crying. And if you read what I said, you'd know that I've been doing my research for 2 weeks. Why are you such an ass when it comes to ppl needing help with something. Did you forget that you wasn't exactly born into this world with a encyclopedia in your hand, was you? Remember? You needed help once before and maybe you got it figured out real quickly. That doen't nessecarily mean that everyone who comes to this forum are capable. SO PLAY NICE!!!
First thing you need is the drivers for your phone, there's several links to get those. You need sdk to do the one click. It needs to be in the sdk folder. After I downloaded sdk I unzipped it to drive c and renamed it android cause it's shorter than the original name. You open it and in the root of that folder is a folder called tools extract the one click here. Same goes for clockwork. Make sure you enable debugging on the phone. And don't mount your sd card. There's a tutorial on what to do with sdk on you tube. Really you don't even need root anymore if you have clockwork cause all the kernels come with root now. Unless you want to use a stock kernel then you use the method I described above. After you one click the clockwork mod you need to turn off your phone and power on holding the volume button down, pressing the camera button and the power button to boot into recovery. Make a back up of your phone and then reboot. Now just download whatever you want, boot into recovery and install. Sdx developers has some tutorials over on they're site as well. Hope this helps. Remember, cussing people just pisses people off, then you will be on your own.

I've only had this phone and only worked with an android phone for less than a month, so I admit that I am new to the scene...but I will have to disagree to the rant. It took me a while to root my phone and get clockwork. But it wouldn't have happened unless there was the "clutter" of ways to do it. The only mistake I made was assuming that I understood the whole post and skipped ahead. And that's what slowed me down. Personally I don't think there really is much of an issue with the forum. The only issue is some people aren't patient enough to read the whole post and screw up then blame others for their mistake. But what can you say, its human nature. There's also the wiki you can go to and that'll help out, it's all categorized nice and neatly for some to read if the forum is too much.

Obviously the OP has had enormous difficulty modding his phone. I extend my sympathies, and if there's anything I can do to help down the road, I will certainly try.
However, many if not most of us have had no trouble at all. In my case, I successfully rooted, installed clockworkrecovery, backed up, and flashed the Mixup kernel. No meaningful stumbles along the way, went smoothly.
So, blaming the forum seems rather misplaced. I don't know what's unique about kpkimmel's situation, but it's pretty clear that the problem lies there, not with the forum, information posted here, and the very helpful people assisting.
I'm sure the solution to the poblem would be an easy fix. As long as the the problem explained. The answer could be as simple as doing the 3-button sequence to get into cwm, or just wiping the phone to prep for flashing.

LMFAO!!!! You sho right...there is an easy solution to the problem and you wouldn't believe how freaking easy it is. Like I've said before, I've been doing the research and everything and nothing seem to work right. I have rooted my phone and have proven it so by doing the tests. But the damn thing would not go into Clockwork recovery no matter how many times I tried. Until last night on another website, the answer was plain and simple as big as day. When I did as instructed, lo and behold, it worked....I have Clockwork recovery. I can use the roms now. Gonna go post it in the 'Epic 4G Android Development.' Don't know why it hasn't been made know to those having this problem in the first place. Woulda save a bunch of time and headaches.

I'm a total noob and need some help!!

I completely new to the whole flashing and custom rom thing. I've never tried anything like it and don't know much about it. The closest I've come to hacking or rooting my Vibrant phone is with the OCLF app. Now, I too have been patiently waiting for Froyo to come out and for some reason when it did come out I was hesitant to get it. I wanted to see what people were saying about it before I downloaded and installed it. So far from what I'm seeing, its not all its cracked up to be and it seems like Froyo for the Vibrant is "meh" for most. This is a bummer to me but I kept hearing about using a custom and its advantages. Thankfully I bumped into a very useful thread posted by xriderx66 on his reviews on some of the roms out now. Based on what he said, I'm looking to flashing my phone to the Bionix-V Rom by Team Whiskey. Problem is I have no idea how to get started. What do I need to do to flash my phone? Any program I need to download first? How do I backup my files? I'm such a noob at this its funny but I'm willing to take the risk and experience this phone the way it should be experienced. If someone can post a link showing a step by step on how to do the whole thing I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance
Go to the development thread and browse through the stickies. Reading and more reading should be the first two things you do. Pay attention to anything relating to odin.

From 1.57 to 1.83

Hi,
I've got a sim-unlocked AT&T and have updated till 1.57. The phone is rooted and running gingerblur 2.5. I want to upgrade to 1.83 and gingerblur 3.5 but dont know the exact steps.
Do I need to go back to stock, or can I just run the ota and then install gb 3.5?
Thanks, v.

Really??? Another thread requesting the same information that is spattered all over the forums already! Really??? You managed to get rooted on 4.1.57 with GingerBlur.
How about you read the GingerBlur thread for instructions. Other alternative?....Stay on 4.1.57 with GingerBlur 2.5.
People say there is a lot of hate in the Atrix forums................it's not hate. People just get tired of seeing threads like this!
Really??? Another thread criticizing the question, rather than giving an answer, if they are oh-so-smart and oh-so-knowledgeable?
1. Really??? For help, you are pointing me to a thread which has 5809 posts? You might as well point me to a public library and tell me to find whatever I need there.
2. Even if I was to find where this was explained, the thread has a undecipherable mix between noobs (like me) trying and sometimes failing in their attempts, and people (not like you) who are actually giving out tested and verified information. I am very wary to try out those suggestions
3. I am in India - with it not being released here, I had to get it from the US, which means I have no sort of warranty, or other help if I completely mess it up. So I am a bit cautious. If you've got a problem with that, don't reply to the thread. If you're tired of seeing the thread, skip it. No one asks you to read every thread. You're obviously on 1.83. Actually I'm sure, you're on a special 2.83, because you're so damn awesome. How does a thread titled 'From 1.57 to 1.83' have any significance to you, unless you're trying to help.
Damn, I bet if you don't know it already, you can't find the actual answer within 15 mins of searching.
REALLY?
lol.
download the 1.8.3 sbf and flash it.
reroot with gingerbreak.
flash gingerblur.
???
Profit.
Warning: flashing sbf deletes all internal memory, but saves apps and settings. REMEMBER TO BACK UP.

I started out not knowing anything a few weeks back, and through actually reading all the guides, and a lot of trial and error, I have learned from the many people here who already had Android and Atrix experience, and I continue to learn in the same way.
All those threads are in the first 2-3 pages of the dev and themes forums, and all your instructions are 99% of the time in the OP.
The authoritative answers you are/were looking for are located in the same threads as those which I learned from, and which you must have read to get to a rooted 4.1.57 on GingerBlur 2.5.
CaelanT, at the time I went to 1.57 and GB 2.5, I had a fresh phone, so could apply the general procedure - didn't have to do anything different.
This time round it's different, and I can't afford to mess things up by needless trial and error - that's why the question. Anyways, let's end this here. Lesson learned from my end - could probably do a bit more research. But do understand that there are different reasons people ask questions - not just due to laziness.

[i9003] Frustrated First Root

Starting off, I'm probably posting in the wrong section. Excuse my forum etiquette, but I need help with this because I'm insanely frustrated and in pain (Decided to learn how to exploit the android OS while recovering from my surgery).
So, if you've read past that first part and are still willing to help, thank you.
Moderators: If you absolutely need to move this post, please move it to a section where it will actually get attention and I can get an answer. Thanks.
Anyway, the breakdown of my problem is this;
I wanted to root my new day old Sprint CMDA Nexus S, I've never rooted anything android, and if anything the most I've done with a droid OS is installed it on my old iphone 2g.
So I did some googling and first thing to come up was this guide:
nexusshacks(dotcom)/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/
Now, usually I would do a bit more research, but because of the lack of blood in my body I'm doing dumb things, making bad decisions, whatever.
So obviously this guide doesn't work, even a quick skim of the comments shows that, I try to follow this guide-
I followed step "fastboot flash boot rootboot.img" then tried to reboot. It freezes at the google boot logo. This is where I start getting a bit nervous because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
So I think "Well, if I jump over to someone elses tutorial and do that it should overwrite any "root"ing data I've tried to put into the device.
So I jump over to this:
androidadvices(dotcom)/root-sprint-nexus-gingerbread-235-update/3/
It has me install PDANet and it's frozen since on the installing PDAnet to your phone.
I just want to get my Nexus S back to original factory default so I can start fresh from there without a terrible guide.
Can someone please help me get there?
Thanks.
tl;dr:
Bad guide soft bricked my phone and I want to restore it to factory defaults

Ok I can see you need help but I am inclined to warn you instead. Stop. If you cannot figure out how to root the easiest phone to root then you shouldn't be messing around with your phone. You will end up screwing something up, won't know how to fix it, and come crying here for help. Do yourself some research before you go and ruin your phone.
Yes you posted in the wrong place.
There is a thread in this forum on how to root the nexus s 4g. Rooting is model specific. The T-Mobile Nexus s is different from the sprint, att, Rodgers, o2 etc.
Please please do some more research!

Thanks for a reply, and I understand I dug a hole.
Now I need to get out of said hole, so if you had any directions of how to dig myself out, that'd be great.
if you can get into fastboot then you are still cool, if not you're gonna have to odin it. I dont actually know where the tar files are, Micheal posted it up but i think they deleted the thread. You should have came to xda first,we have one clicks.
actually rooting is the same across the board. same steps same everything... in fact the one click root version 1 would work on any and all of them, version 2 branches out a bit further due to that it installs cwm.
anyways boot into fastboot, download stock fastboot images from petes thread found here http://wonderly.com/bb/CRESPO4G/OEM/GRJ22IMAGES.zip and flash them all in fastboot.
youll be back on stock grj22 but youll at least be booting.. from there follow a guide for rooting this phone that has you flash cwm (not a prerooted kernel). or be lazy and use my one click root
You sir are a class act. We need a ton more guys like you here at XDA

"Main Version Older" Bootloader Error + How to Downgrade

A while ago I tried returning to stock by flashing the 2.2.1 PD15IMG, but I ended up getting a "Main Version Older" error in the bootloader. I later found out that the problem was that I still had the Gingerbread radio installed, which was incompatible with the older version of Froyo. As a result, my bootloader was stuck with S-ON but I still had root privileges. I searched for hours for a way to fix this, but I couldn't find any straight forward solution saying exactly what to do. It's really not that hard to fix, but I figured this would save people some time.
Main Version Older:
If you get this error, download the PD15IMG for "Official 2.3.4 Upgrade to stock 2.3.4 Rom (Unrooted)" found at the thread on the following link. This will unroot your phone and give you stock 2.3.4. Easy enough.
---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264704
Now after I returned to stock and got my replacement, I wanted to root my phone again. However, I never rooted from GB before so I had no idea what to do. I know it's been mentioned that there's a guide on how to downgrade in the newcomer's thread and someone posted the link below. When I got my replacement though, I didn't feel like a "newcomer" so naturally that wasn't the first place I looked. I know people might be upset cause there's already a guide stickied, but here's the guide I followed.
How to Downgrade:
---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
All credit of course goes to the OP of the respective threads.
A couple months ago when I had this problem, rather than posting what I did to fix it I just said anyone who needs help could PM me. I've gotten quite a few PM's over the last couple weeks, regarding both the "Main Version Older Error" and people having trouble downgrading. So here's everything I used, in one spot. I hope this helps save people some time by pointing them in the right direction.
Hey, thanks for posting this. Sometimes its nice to have a thread where you are pointed to the right place.

So this is for the latest 2.3.4? I was going to try this:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_myTouch_4G:_Full_Update_Guide
Does that not work?
I am comfortable with the instructions you linked except for the goldcard part if needed.
neidlinger's stickied thread in the general section actually points you to that downgrade through xda's wiki for htc glacier.
He also has a lot of other goodies that newcomers and what nots should check out.
Why don't people read stickies! lol

Its not the method I used but I assume that should work too.
And sorry guys I understand this is kind of a repost, but it seems like there's a new thread every couple days with someone having trouble downgrading. And I haven't seen anything anywhere else about the "main version older" problem. I just figured this would be helpful to some people.

Lol no worries, it's just that people will ignore your thread too and post questions how to do it. It's just never ending. There will be people asking how do you root when there's a big sticky that gives you instructions.

From an outsiders perspective, a lot of the information appears stale or does not seem very specific.
