Used the 1 click method to root the Vibrant, overclocked it, and did the lag fix. Was getting horrible distortion when on calls, using the Vibrant 2.1 Vanilla ROM, so I decided to 1 click unroot. For some reason upadate.zip was not on my SD but on phone HD so the unroot was unsuccessfull. Now Im stuck with the root, recovery mode allows me to select reinstal packages - nothing happens - and I'm back to the same rom/root - once phone reboots. I even put the update.zip back on the sd - but phone is not recognizing it or installing it for some reason. I somehow lost superuser as well. Please help me get back to unroot - if its possible!
Thanks
i'm a noob here too. but this happened to me before (the pc doesnt recgnze the sd card or phone storage. )
just place in one of the drive that PC recognize and then use eStrong or some file manager to copy & paste it... hope this help..
Dropbox is a nice tool too.. figure it out.. it's really useful
I will definitely try that! Thanks. I tried downloading/installing Titanium Backup - as I previously backed up apps - it asked for Busy Box, which disappeared! I downloaded busy Box - it said my phone was not rooted! WTF! It looks rooted - just like Vanilla ROM - defiantly not like stock, when I bought it. I just hope I didnt mess it up. After i initially "1 click" unrooted - I thought it had worked, I restored phone to factory settings - this might also be causing my predicament! I just cant get passed the , reinstall packages, in the boot menu, like before - phone reboots itself right away, after partially/or not at all installing the update.zip from SD!
I think I may need a manual way of getting unrooted/ back to stock!
Please help! Phone works fine otherwise - just looks like the Vanila Rom and root, without any of the benefits!
boot into download mode and flash back to stock using ODIN if you look around you should be able to find some tutorials for it. You'll need to have the android SDK and samsung's drivers installed on your PC though
OK, thanks - sounds like I have to reroot my Vibrant, since it has a lot of the root stuff missing afyter I accidently reset to factory settings while rooted! After I root Ill just have to unroot, right!
Ill look for tutorials, thanks!
Okay first of all, let me start by saying this is my first post and I AM a noob, so be patient.
Okay, my problem is that I can't root my Sprint Samsung Intercept. I've tried SuperOneClick, Z4Root, Universal Androot, and some other one. NOTHING has worked. The SuperOneClick somewhat worked, it installed SuperUser but when I downloaded apps that require a root, they said my device isn't rooted.
I'm with Sprint and running 2.2.1.
Pease help because this is driving me crazy!!
i dont know how this stuff works either but my brother has that phone. it could be your usb isn't reading. or rather, your computer isn't recognizing the device. google samsung intercept usb and you'll see a lot of issues. this may not be your problem but its better to tell you just in case. so far for his cell phone, because he wants to tether it to his computer, so far nothing works. not downloading the right drivers. loading without debugging. mounting the sd card. thats one big solution that hasn't worked. i have high hopes for this other fix, to load samsung pc studio. New_PC_Studio_1.4.0.IL2_4.exe is the file. you can google and find it.
this site has some info. if it works and i remember to, ill repost and let you know.
en.kioskea (take out space, insert a dot)net/forum/affich-240949-samsung-sgh-f480-usb-driver-problem
hope this helps. if not then good luck. and heck if anyone else knows why exactly it does this and a real fix other than the whole disable usb debugger issue. then let me know. i even thought about trying to load the sdk for android to see if that would create some sort of connection with the phone and computer. thanks and take care
hope this helps

follow the first step to get SWUpgrade setup (the rest is instructions for eclaire [pretty sure])
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...-2-2-(easy-root-via-swupgrade)-(battery-mod)/
flash this kernal with SWUpgrade and youll be rooted.
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...important-features-working!)-(updated-11311)/
i assume youll be wanting a recovery as well i recommend cm01 get the tar and flash it just like the kernal
intercept doesnt have many custom roms but there is tons of mods you can apply to the stock rom
I tried SWUpgrade and I bricked my last phone but it didn't matter because it was already defective.

did you patch SWUpgrade? delete everything in the binary folder except the file you were trying to flash?
ive never had a problem with it. it even saved me from quite a few softbricks in the short time ive had my intercept.
I did everything the videos and forums said to do. When I did that I got a different kernal but I couldn't get any service, my phone would restart every 2-5 minutes, and it would randomly vibrate. Until I got another one. I finally got SuperOneClick to get passed the "waiting for device" stage and I supposedy rooted my phone, when I tried to install apps that required root access they said my device is not rooted.

Hello everyone, First off I would like to thank all of those that have posted on this site and contribute to it.
Now to my problem. Let me share a little history of how everything started.
I first rooted my MT4G about a year ago, Tried to use IcedGlacier but it was not loading properly so I used cyanogenmod 6 I believe? I wanted to try IcedGlacier but It still was not loading properly. Then when I tried to restore it would not restore properly. At this point it appeared to be bricked but bootloader still worked but the PD15img file was not found. So after some researched I downloaded it and it restored my phone back to factory condition. Now I want to try other roms again because I'm getting bored of stock and attempting to load different kernels but this is where my issues are beginning.
As you can see in the attached photo that is what the bootloader looks like. I thought it was weird that next to hboot it says "HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD1510000)".
(I tried to post the image but since I'm a noob I and unable. If you want to see the screen shot of my bootloader just message me.
I was thinking maybe this is a reason as to why now No other rom but the stock one will load. Also what is weird is that when it goes into bootloader it still says PD15img is not found but the phone will start up fine with the stock rom.
The phone remains rooted but No Rom or Kernel will Load and fully install.
When It loads roms it goes to install it shuts off and reboots into stock rom.
I tried to Use the PD15IMG.zip on the SD card to see maybe if it didn't load properly but it will begin to load with the blue bar in the corner but then after it goes all the way up nothing else happens.
I have been trying to look for answers but haven't found any real answers that help me fix my problem.
So if someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
The "no PD15IMG.zip" message is supposed to appear. When the bootloader loads, it checks the root of your SD for that file, and if it's not there, you'll get that message. Nothing wrong with that.
Since you're perm-rooted and running the engineering boatloader, you just need to make sure your recovery image is good. If you haven't already, download ROM Manager from the Market and use that to install a fresh copy of ClockworkMod recovery. From there you should be good to flash any ROM you want.
Thanks, I did what you said plus I realized when I was downloading the roms using a Mac and my Mac would unzip the file automatically and trying to compress it back to a zip doesn't work at all. But thanks alot for the help!
If the PD15IMG.zip doesnt work you probably dont have the part7-xxxxxxxxxx.zip file on your sdcard

Hi All,
I have read the forums and i see many good threads, but i feel like i am too noob to understand many of them.
I have a Motorla MB520 cellphone with Android 2.2.1 from AT&T
I have followed some threads on giving root access to the phone and finally succeded, but when i was trying to install the 2ndInit apk, i got a message that only signed apps can be installed.
I all ready search in my Settings and there is no option to Enable the option to install apks not signed.
This version of android is driving me nuts, because i have the 3G enable but i dont have a internet plan, so every time i add some cash to use it to make calls, the internet consumes my money :S because the option for 3G/GPRS is no where to be found.
I would like to install a newer version of android, or at least one that does not have so many things disabled that i cannot use.
Can some one please guide me on how to install/reinstall a ROM that does not have AT&T apps or locked functions?
Best Regards
P.S. i dont think i was able to install a recovery app, because when i try to launch a REC from boot, i just get a picture of the Android logo with an exclamation mark. And i have to take the battery out to bounce.

Well, let me try to help you.
First you need to root and install 2nd init defy (recovery):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599672
Then after you root and installed recovery for bravo, you can download any rom you want and copy it to your SDCARD!
Hi,first of all i want to say im new to Android
I have a rooted Lg L5 im enjoying the futures of it
i was testing this app ""root app delete"" and deleted some floatware apps and accidently also deleted the Google play store
not just the updates but like the app itself and now when I try to download the APK of the Google play store it keeps crashing as soon I open the play store. I tried factory resetting my phone thinking I would get the original play store back.but that did not solve the problem I get an icon where the play store app would be with the name ""com.google.."" and when i try to click it its says application not installed.
after installing the play store APK I get the first problem as first
so i read somewhere a firmware update would solve the problem some googling late I found out about custom roms and flashing them
I have no idea how to do this
Im very interested in that but it seems its very difficult do do and you could brick your phone if you do it wrong
I don't get it, are you on a custom ROM right now? Because as far as I know (and I do not know much) you can only flash gapps on a custom ROM. Now my ADVICE to you is to install CM 10 (it's amazing anyway) and then download and flash gapps, which can be found here http://goo.im/gapps (second from top for CM 10). If you need any help doing any of that, just reply here and I will be happy to help.
Hey im not on a custom rom im new to android and I don't know much about customs roms but read about them
if you say it will solve my problem im going to try the CM 10 out .As a beginner with android some help would be great
Try this google.apk (install) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2Yt4LYuF0UuTEwtV2ZMQ0JDX3c/edit?usp=sharing
the link did not work for the play store APK already tried the ones on adroidpolice as well but without no luck

First, try the APK that the guy above me posted, if that doesn't work, keep reading.
Refer to this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9__laYmXsA, it's newbie friendly BUT instead of downloading and using the L7 version he provided, use the L5 version which can be found here http://get.cm/?device=e610
And if you don't know how to get to recovery mode, you need to download the ''ROM manager'' APK from anywhere (since you don't have the play store), open it, then select ''reboot to recovery'' as shown in the video
Then after you get Cyanogenmod working, use the same method that was shown in the video with gapps, the link can be found in my first reply to this thread.
thank you will try it out in the noon or tomorrow
will post if it worked out well then
is there anything else i need to know before doing this?
like backing up my data or something important in case I mess up ?
it looks easy do to tho
The risk is minimal, but do a system backup with the rom manager app anyway, I think it's the first option, you'll find your way it's pretty easy
and that's pretty much it, do what's exactly on the video, then do the same with gapps, and you should have the play store back. If Google Search kept crashing afterwards, just go to the play store and update it.
If you do not want Cyanogenmod after you get the play store back, then reply here or message me and I'll help you go back to the stock ROM/firmware.
Hey!
I unlocked my bootloader and installed CM 10 and I must say it looks and feel so much better
I came across this guide how to get the google apps back if you wanted to.
25. If you want to install the google apps download this file: (the link cant post any links) and put in on your L5
26. You have to shutdown your L5 and boot into the recovery (Press and hold the Volume down key + Power key, after 2 seconds when the lights go on you have to press 2 seconds on the home button)
27. Go to install zip from sdcard
28. Select choose zip from sdcard and press the power button
29. Select gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and press the power button
30. Select Yes – Install gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
31. Wait a few seconds
32. Go Back and reboot
33. Now your L5 boots Cyanogenmod 10 with the google apps
only problem is the Link is not working where you can download the file anyone have the zip file ?
would be appreciated
There was no need to google a way, I already told you it is installed just like Cyanogenmod , anyway this is the link for gapps http://goo.im/gapps, click on the second option from the top (CM 10) and the download should automatically start after 10 seconds. It should work, if it doesn't, then the problem is with your internet connection/browser, because there is nothing wrong with the link.
Hey thanks did not understand 100% how you instal gaps
so I just install them using the same method I did the Cyanongenmod right ?
i think that should be no problem
1 more thing I came across some problems with CM 10
showthread.php?t=2284791
the biggest problem is not seeing my external SD
Im kinda considering getting the original Stock ROM back
could you tell me how to get my custom stock rom back?
im using CM 10 for a few hours and its not I don't like it but it having too much problems with it
my last post for today its getting late im going to sleep
will see how things work out tomorrow
Bump
Here is a detailed, newbie-friendly guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060121
Use this KDZ file http://www.multiupload.nl/9CTXNHIYIJ I got it from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790342
thank you I fixed the external storge problem with CM 10 its places as SD card 01 and placed on a other place
further then that Im keeping CM 10 on my phone I like it more then the stock rom
1 noob question:
IF I ever change my mind and want my stock rom back and follow the guide will I have android 2.2.2 on my android or the ICS version(the guide says you end up with 2.2.2) that came with it?
and do an system update to get it back to ICS?
I want to thank you for helping me so far thank you very much
thats all
It depends on the KDZ file you flash, the guide only shows you how to flash a KDZ file I THINK the download link I posted was for the stock(check the thread I got it from), but you will have to look around on XDA and find a trusted thread with the KDZ file you want. I would give you a link but I am currently on an L7
Also, ALWAYS update CM, they tend to fix bugs every 3-4 days in their updates, which is one of the many reasons why it is the best firmware imo.
And no problem, always happy to help
