im trying to flash the new 2.2.1 when i get:
Lots of code
Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation Aborted
Can anyone help?
have you stock recovery? also have you removed any apps from the phone..?
if you do gotta push the back in to system/app
You're on Vodafone UK, and I presume you got the phone from them? If so, their version of FRF91 is not upgradable to FRG83 (at the moment). If you don't want to wait, then installed the FRG33 passimg and it will get an OTA update to FRG83.
its alright, i found that the new 2.2.1 is running on the latest nightlies (Y)

hehe. That explains why I could never get the 2.2.1 OTA to work. I got rid of the damn twitter app and the awful default calculator (RealCalc FTW). Oh well. I'm on CM6 now and aside from lower battery life, I have no regrets.
hi root 2.2.1
please please root android 2.2.1 actuallize androot to works with it im dying without root¡¡¡¡
Use the rageagainstthecage exploit, it's not difficult at all.
Will there ever be one click root for the 2.2.1 update. I had the one click root before the update and unrooted my phone to get the update. After the update obviously the one click root no longer works. Now I'm stuck with an unrooted Nexus One, not enough experience to go out and root it and download the cyanogenmod 6 RC3 download. I want that more then anything. Saw some tapes of it and have to have it. I guess I will have to do some studying on the entire process and go from there. Any help and point in the right direction would help. Thank You

Wait for Paul to update his Superboot (Google it) program. It's almost as easy as 1-click.
Needs an unlocked bootloader though, exactly what one click users don't want.

Whats the point of rooting? (i don't tether)
When will telus htc hero 2.1 rooted be released?
Will the rooted 2.1 be as stable as htc?
I used to have my hero rooted, but then did nandroid and brought it back to normal. However, i forgot to get rid of everything completely. Therefore, i have the system boot thing still left which stops me from updating. I get this error
E:No signature (218 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
That said, how do i bring everything as it used to be when i got it? ANy great risk of phone bricking?
You can unroot completey using an ruu.
The rooted 2.1 Roms are just as stable as the HTC ones as they just have one extra file in to make it rooted.

That's incorrect. You might not be able to root the official 2.1 EU now (as its not released) but the other release of 2.1 to china or where has already been rooted, they will never be able to make a root proof phone.
I recently aquired the Vibrant and all I have to say is OMG this is a fnatastic phone. it blows my cliq, cliq xt, and g1 out of the water.
Anywho, the one question I have now that my phone is rooted and has the clockworkmod recovery is when the 2.2 update releases around september-ish, will this effect the phone being able to update like it did for the cliq, or will i be able to flash 2.2 from root and just lose root. i would be ok with it at that point because 2.2 takes care of all the issues that i have with 2.1 update1. the only reason i know this is because i have 2.2 on the g1 and its amazing. any thlughts on the matter?
once rooted on this phone, you have to wait for one of the devs to dump a 2.2 flashable rom to get the update. This is why I am gladly waiting to get the ota before considering rooting. I love the phone as it is.

yeah but I heard that if you just root only, you will be able to get the OTA update as you are still using the stock ROM. But if you are using a modified dev ROM, then yeah it will not auto update.
Can anyone confirm this?

Yes this is the case, if all you do is root the phone, you will still get Tmobile updates. You might lose root, but as was pointed out in a similar thread, Samsung doesn't seem to care about locking things up, so you should be able to root again easily.
ok so its more in line with what the g1 used to do if you didnt go onto a modified rom. with the cliq, even if you root and are on the stock rom, you still cant load the ota update because it fails when you try to load it once downloaded. i dont mind losing root once 2.2 comes out, i just want to make sure i can get it. i was thinking of going back to stock without root, but i'm having some trouble getting the phone in download mode

Thanks for the input. Has this been the case for any other phone? Where rooting only will still get you OTA updates, or is this a theory?
Thanks~
Hi guys,
Just recieved a nexus s i purchased on ebay (LOVE IT!) coming from a Galaxy S i used to use odin for flashing the latest roms
But one of the things i wanted from having the nexus s was getting updates quick, and what i thought was OTA updates.
i have just gone into "about phone" checked for updates and there are apparently none available. details below
Android Version = 2.3.1
Baseband Version = I9020XXJK8
Kernel version = 2.6.35.7-gf1638a [email protected] #1
Build number = GRH78
so my question is, how do i get to the latest official FW, i thought it would be as easy as clicking check updates, but obviously not
Cheers guys, i have searched btw, and im lost completely
The full ROM to upgrade you to 2.3.4 is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061445
That should work for any previous build I think - if not use the 2.3.3 ROM and then run the update to 2.3.4.
of course assuming your running stock you could try a checkin and wait for the OTA to reach your handset........
as im on 2.3.1 at the moment, wouldnt there be an OTA already waiting to update to 2.3.3 if the 2.3.4 update has not yet been pushed to this perticular handset?

yeh, once your SIM and handset get registered with Google's servers (which can take a few days) you should get the OTA. if your impatient like me just run the updates manually...

is there anyway to check if my bootloader is unlocked?
i take flashing manually is just a case of downloading the relevent ota rom, and putting it on the SD card, then start the phone in recovery?

boot your phone up while holding onto the volume up button as well and it should load up a screen with a green droid which will show your bootloader state whether it's LOCKED or UNLOCKED.
Place the rom in the root directory of your sd card then boot in recovery and install zip from sdcard.
ok checked and its locked, so am i still able to flash from sd?

It depends. If you are looking at staying "stock" then go see the sticky thread for 2.3.4, there is a full ROM version that you can install. It's signed by Google, so the stock recovery will install it. No need to unlock your bootloader
if you wanted to flash zip's (such as the superuser zip update to gain root access) that where signed by other sources, then you would need to unlock the bootloader and replace the recovery with something like Clockwork

I know that it's not really necessary but how do i do it.
Ok a little help here guys, My DX is currently running ApeX1.4.0 Froyo and earlier today the Gingerbread update got pushed to my phone, now with my knowledge about rooted phones tells me that rooted phones DONT get official updates OTA and Im kinda freaked out that it will ruin my root or brick my phone at this point its downloaded to my phone and keeps asking me to install it, help me out here people!
If you want to stay rooted than do not install the ota! There hasn't been any method found to root the official version yet

What? No.
Op, it will just try to install, and then fail. Then you're all set. Nothing bad will happen
Thanks Jmoney47,hanone I was getting worried for a second there
Even if you did get it, you can still get back to froyo, but you don't have to worry
When will the mytouch 4g 2.3.4 be rooted?! I read on October 1 that it'll be rooted "in the coming weeks"...its nearly November. Anyone have any updates at all? Or will 2.3.4 never be rooted? Thank you for all of your help!

it will come out when the developers release it.
it'll be rooted when you downgrade to 2.2.1 :X
j/k or whenever, dunno how much progress/work people have been making on developing it
downgrade
I have tried that available link to downgrade but all in vain. i successfully got temp root but not able to perem root. so when i put downgraded stock rom, recieving message newer version is there and visionary is not helpful in my case.
Any idea how to do that .
The only reason i want to root is my camera . i dont know what happened to it. but whenever i try to use my camera it ended up in blank screen.
I am not good in that but thinking to change the rom maybe it resolve my problem
Any help / guidance thanks in advance.

What do you mean newer version? Are you following the downgrade guide that requires adb to push, execute some files, and flash all by adb. When you downgrade, you don't simply flash the pd15img.zip you should follow the guide.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Look in my signature, see a link to Wiki. Open it, go to section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread 2.3.4". There will be a guide which needs to be executed IN FULL.
Try and read this with caution NOT ME OR THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS IS REPONSIBLE... it has a one click downgrade and a one click root.. after all that is down, there's a root version of gingerbread available... one step at a time...
