[Q] 2.3.3 to 2.2?

can someone point me in the direction as to where in these forums i can find how to downgrade 2.3.3 to 2.2 for my evo? or if its even possible? thank you...i hope.

I don't believe its possible...yet.

not possible as yet unless you have s-off. if you are asking for 2.3 root (hboot 2.16.0001) then the answer is no.

not yet if u find one please share.

No it has to have been s-off first. Only way to do that is if you flashed 2.3.3 from XDA.
If you did the OTA and you're s-on you're currently stuck.

ok thank you.

Sooner rather than later it will either be unlocked from HTC or hacked or both.

[Q] HELP!!!!!!

hey im a big noob at rooting so I need help.
If you can help me I would PAY!
so I have 2.3.4 and I want to downgrade to 2.2.1 so I can root again and I have no Idea on how to do it it doesn't work for me im on mac maybe thats why....
so if you can help me downgrade and root I would give u money through paypal (If im rooted =D)
so give me ur msn or aim and Ill add you and you tell me how to do =D

Well the first question is... Were you rooted before receiving update? Is your phone S=off, what bootloader version do you have?
Quick answer to if you werent rooted before OTA, then no root is available at this time.

I think the intention of this thread is: Are there any Galaxy Note enthusiasts who happen to be developers intending on Rooting it.
Obviously no one has been able to root it yet..

I also like to root the thing after open the box also

Chainfire or Superoneklick ...

my opinion: superoneclick seems saver to me. saver=no damage.

Sorry, but I can't understand if installin SuperUser app means to unroot the device.
Is it a normal app one can install with a plain OS?

im not sure, but when i understand the theard from superoneclick, there is nothing what can damage the hardware.. the root will work or not.. is that right? and the other question, how to make a save from my device if something goes wrong? i think to get it in the download mode shouldnt be a problem, i have the usb jig from s2 and i will try it out befor start whit root.. but how to get my original rom extracted and if necessary how to restore it?

you cant extract. you have to flash another firmware.
there is one to download but... will odin work? ^^

odin is in the leaked firmware, so should work.. but how to extract the currently rom and how to restore it?

Go to Samsung s2 forums for more info on rooting or else you can point the source code to chainfire i(n his cf-root thread) if he has time he will definately do it. But don't forget to donate him or whoever does it.

[Q] Atrix 4g. Any help would be appreciated!!!

First off im not a noob. i have/had a nexus s; captivate, att sgs2 all rooted flashed and the sort. my wifes atrix 4g is a mystery. it could be because i havent spent as much time with it as the other phones but anyway heres the prob: when she got her phone it was running either 2.2 or 2.2.xx cant remember but i rooted it using gingerbreak. then she did the gingerbread update on top of the root. here is the problem. the phone still has the supersuser app and looks like its rooted but its not. how do i remove all of the the components of the root then reroot? theres nothing wrong with the phone it works fine no problems whatsoever. a lil info any advanced users could use: system version 4.5.91.mb860.att.en.us running 2.3.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-00001-g41bc3e0 [email protected]#2 build# 4.5.91
any help will be appreciated. ill try to check this tread as often as i can. we just had a newborn 3 weeks ago and a 2yr old running around as well as working full time. feel free to send a pm with any question r possible solutions. thx

What makes you think its not rooted?
In any case, try "re-rooting" using the info in this thread.

Any app that requires root permissions says its not rooted. ill try that and see what happens. thx

Try Root Checker to see if you are rooted.

None. Help test if you want it faster.

At the moment rcartaz09 and Faznx92 are right. There are no confirmed ways to root 13.3.2.1 and 14.3.2.1 just yet. If you want to stay up to date on things I recommend taking time to go through the forum for this device and read through them carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2540
Also two threads I found to stay up to date on this topic are the following. Just simply read, follow up, and be patient:
