hi i just bought myself a brand new vibrant and switched back to tmobile from spriny n got rid of my evo i loved my evo but sprintys customer service sucked and i had problems with the evo .i have had lots of android phones and i am loving the vibrant so far i just want to sday hello and ask a few questions . what is the best method of rooting i have noticed there a few methods for the vibrant . i wna have full root with nand unlock so i CAN FLASH CUSTOM ROMS N KERNELS . another question is what is the best rom in ur opionion as far as speed and stability ? is there a cyanmod 6 for the vibrant ? or a froyo rom with all features working ? thanks in advance i appreciate it
I used the earliest root available (the one involving the update.zip) and that was incredibly easy. To answer your other questions, there aren't many ROMs out now. You can use Vibrant4 Eclair which I've heard works really well, but I'm still using stock. Cyan is in development and should be out soon. If you are desperate for Froyo you could try one of the builds originally for the European Galaxy X, but not everything works on that build.

unrEVOked forever v1.1 is now available. S-ON, more EVO radios and CDMA Hero: http://unrevoked.com/forever

Amazing work from Sebastian Krahmer. His latest exploit also works on Froyo 2.2 on the EVO: http://c-skills.blogspot.com/
Looks like we now have what we have all been waiting for.
Update: I Followed the last link I shared on here for the guide and have successfully rooted my evo. So if you want your evo rooted go the the development forum and follow the guide. but here's the link again if you need it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496
i was thinking this as well.. but thinking about it further.. unrevoked rorever requires a custom recovery to be installed first. to get that custom recovery you need to run unrevoked 3. unrevoked 3 still has the disclaimer: Unrevoked 3 does NOT work on Stock Froyo (Android 2.2) Phones
:-/
Yeah, little skeptical still.. Wish I wasn't at work, I'd try it out.
It looks like unrevoked found the exploit to get into the phone now and then you have the programs to run it. They will probably update something to show us how to do it all together.
But they found out how to get in that's all that matters.
So from what I'm understanding is the new way to root the droid 2 is the same exploit that works for the evo and will work.
Here's the thread for the droid 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764950
So from what I understand is if you follow those instructions it should work.
@unrevoked
If you're desperate to root an EVO with Froyo, watch this space for a downgrade/unrevoked^3/unrevoked forever method: http://bit.ly/dg2Fu4
nice ill wait until this method is thoroughly tested on the evo, but glad to see 2.2 rooted!
DAMN! This will lower the value of my EVO when I go to sell it in about a week. Booooo!
Great, now I can send by mine back for replacement since my 4g keys are borked.

Follow the last link I posted under the update on the first post.
not to sound ignorant, but what does this new root entail ? caz i have evo (came with 2.1) did root it with unrevoked forever and have been using custom froyo roms. currently i am using fresh evo 3.1.0.2.
so back to my original question, what does this new root do? is it just for the new evos which comes preloaded with 2.2?
thanx
It works great! A little lengthy but well worth it!
All it is.. is to make root for people who had 2.2 froyo or had it installed when bought.. brings it back to 2.1 so you can root your evo.

Stock Evo Froyo 2.2
I just tried it and it does work just follow the instructions works perfectly dont worry about it does work
Since I didn't want to unrevoke and have full access I actually used the step tell it asked for me to unrevoke so my phone was on 2.1 and then I went for another rooting option for 2.1 and it all worked and I'm not on the CM6 nightly. It is wonderful and it's amazing how much more I can do now.

Close thread.
Finally TMO has agreed that I have had enough problems out of my 3gslide and sending me a new MT4G free.
I have several quick questions that maybe you guys can answer for me without me having to read 1,000 post. I plan to go through the post but if you can help me eliminate some of the less desirable or buggy ROMS/MODS that would be helpful
Which method of ROOT and S off seems to be the best method.
Which ROMS besides the Cyanogen ROMS are built for speed?
What MODS are a must have?
I used the gfree method and then eng bootloader. The best rom in my opinion is evil d vu rom. Mods I am running it all stock

as posted in many others, you could always downgrade then install the pre-rooted rom
Dose anyone have a stock sense rom? I really don't know Wut is wrong with my phone. But none of my recoveries are working. I just want to flash the stock rom and be done.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Just answered your pm. Do you just want to go completely back to stock urooted? Or do you want to stay rooted, and just run a stock rom? The first two links will break root if you are currently rooted. The third link is for a Stockish rom, stable and fast. The fourth is also stockish rooted rom.

The reason why I went back to the stock rom is every build had glitches, I just wanted a stable rom. So froyo or gingerbread. Just stable

Hello Everyone
I'm a total novice with smartphones having used an old nokia flip phone for the past 8 years. Anyway i needed a new business phone and took the plunge and got myself a Samsung Galaxy Note ... lol ... After the initial shock, i love it ....
As stated i'm a noobie to smart phones but fairly handy at Tech being a linux only user ...
So i am wanting to root this phone and then get rid of all the bloatware rubbish. I tried to root this thing last night, but kept getting an error about incompatible file.
Looking at my current system this is whats installed:
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband: N7000XXLA4
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
Any guidance would be very helpful and once i get used to a smartphone & android haha i'll be rocking ....
Many Thanks
As a Linux user, you're going to feel right at home on rooted Android!
You'll also feel at home reading lots of guides on how to do stuff and fix things, amirite?
I got my root with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
That should work with all Notes, no matter which version firmware you're running. It's basically the "nuke from orbit" of rooting.
Btw, be sure to get Botbrew when you're rooted for more Linux CLI goodness.
