[Q] Need help rooting

I'm trying to root my Telus fascinate (SGH t959D) not to sure if i should be posting this here or in the vibrant section...
anyways I've tried numerous rooting methods and none have worked, I'll list what I've tried. I've also made sure I have the 64bit drivers for windows 7 installed.
super one click root - goes through the process, appears to be working, says ROOTED, but does not provide root access, it also disables haptic feedback on my 4buttons until a restart
galaxy s one click root - restarts into recovery mode (3e), although no "reinstall packages" option is available. The option i do have is apply sdcard:update.zip which fails do to a signature error.
various other 2.2 root files - same error as in the one click root, except i manually boot into recovery mode via the volume buttons.
various market one click root tools - none work, I got really desperate.
also, im looking for a download link to nero v5, the team whiskey website doesnt have one that i can find...

I haven't tried flashing a new rom with odin yet as some guides say to do... I want to backup files on my phone with titanium backup first, but that needs root.
can anyone recommend any other backup app that doesnt require root?

z4root is flaky and buggy but sometimes it gets the job done.
Replacing just a system partition will not destroy your apps, though it would of course be a good idea to make sure you are flashing a rom based on the stock for your phone to have the lowest chance of FCs on startup. Most roms out there are intended to be flashed in CWM. CWM is actually a kernel flashed to the recovery partition with Odin, but it also lets you make a nandroid backup which will backup almost everything on your phone except the kernel; subsequent restores will make it so you reboot into your phone exactly as it was at the time you did the nandroid. Might want to consider that, as if all goes well you can just flash the rom you want, keep your apps, and be done with it. If not, well, you did make a nandroid after flashing CWM but before flashing your rom, didn't you?

I'm quite familiar with nandroid backups, I'm coming from an HTC hero running modaco's custom rom with some different custom recovery image.
I've tried using z4root before but I'll give it another try. right now I'm looking at an alternate method which i found here using linux. going to give that a try tomorrow.
As for the custom kernels and roms, im still on stock and haven't flashed anything yet with odin. would it be possible to flash clockwork with odin before i get root? will that mess anything up?

So I was at my girlfriends today and decided to give the super one click root another try... it worked.
I've had problems with the usb ports before but I forgot to consider it as an option

You can find All Versions of Clockwork Mod Recoveries in ROM Manager. So if you having any problems with old Roms you can use CWM 2.5.
CWM 3 doesn't support update-script, it requires update-binary and updater-script. So there are many mods and themes available which will not work with CWM 3.0. If you know how to convert them into flashable Zips then you will be able to use it. But anyway you can always revert back to CWM 2.5.

Does nandroid backups made with CWM 2.5 work with this new version?

Restoring backups of 2.2 roms doesn't work for me. Only way I can get a 2.2 rom to boot is if I flash a fresh zip

Just use CWM 2.5 to restore backup of 2.2 Roms. It should be working fine, I tried on my DHD and I don't have any issues.

Awesome! Makes things easier when I want to flash CM7.

I was so glad to see this. I had the non-final version installed and it meant if I wanted to go back to Sense I had flash the 2.5.1.3 recovery first. Now with this being on the ROM manager I flashed the 2.5.1.3 then recovered Sense, flashed v3 recovery and backed up Sense. With that done I can go between it and CM7 or any other ROMs that allow far more easily.

True.. Makes my life more easier...

It would have beign nice if I knew this stuff about v3 yesterday...when I couldn't get back any recovery, and I was beginning to believe that is something wrong.with my SD card. But I don,t understand ,why, if is a NEW (and supposedly a better version) doesn't, support the back up made with v2.5 (I read about the .bin, and .zip file in a.upper post, but It's a little to technically for me and I dont understand how this will help me if I use CM7 and ruu 2.3).
And the question is, will v3 recover the backup made with v3 of my sense Rom,because I don,t wanna try again and if it.doesn't,t work ,I will wake up my self again in the orange menu of v3 and then I have to flash again a Rom, downgrade from Rom manager to v2.5 and restore an older backup

Neat!
CM7 official release is probably not to far away then!

Thanks...!

Argh, really, is it so hard to check for the fs during backup, and then restore it using the noted fs? Why the stupid split for ext3 on 2.5 and ext4 on 3 ? Especially since 3 has no problem reading ext3.

Obviously Koush feels it is, don't forget CWM is open source, if you feel the check of file system and appropriate restore / backup is a minor issue submit a patch implementing it for review and I am sure Koush will accept it with pleasure.

re flashed today everything is nice. Except one backup from older CWM is not recognized.

Thanks for the heads-up

I was using MIUI rom on my DHD and I wanted to restore a nandroid backup to return to Revolution HD, when I started Rom Manager, it told me there's an update to 3.0.x (Not 100% if it was 3.0.5 or something else), so I updated it.
Then when I tried to do a nandroid restore to my RevolutionHD backup, it went through the process properly, but it won't boot into the rom.
Can anyone help me out, please. I'm phoneless?

Tried to install Liberty on my Droid X, messed up, stuck in a hole, plz dig me out

Up until today I never did anything to my droid x as far as rooting and roms. I kept everything completely factory and android was at its latest version which is gingerbread 2.3.3 and system version 4.5.605.MB810.Verizon.en.US.
My goal today was to finally experiment this and install Liberty Rom. I completely failed because of all the version complications and plenty of other errors. Before I describe my final problem I should backtrack and let you know exactly what I did today so you can possibly get me out of this mess.
1. The very first thing I did was follow all of the steps at a forum on droid-life "How To: Get Rooted Gingerbread On DROID X" sorry it won't let me post the link.
After all of this I ended up with gingerbread again, but I guess a rooted version. No idea why this was the tutorial I followed when trying to install liberty. Throughout the tutorial I ended up buying "Droid X BootStrapper" because the tutorial had me use it.
Right after this tutorial I bought an app called Rom Toolbox for $5.00 downloaded Liberty through it and was trying to install through it. Every time it rebooted I would get a black screen. Never worked so many issues probably because I flashed the wrong sbf or something.
Here are the programs that I ended up buying today:
z4root (free), DroidXBootStrapper ($2.00), Rom Toolbox ($5.00).
That is everything I have done and all of the apps I own. Can someone please start fresh and give me short instructions to start from scratch on how to get the latest and greatest version of Liberty on my droidx from where I'm stuck at now. I want to completely start over and I am willing to do anything. I hope the apps I bought help and I also want to assume 2 of them probably do the same thing and I didn't need them.

Buying those tools will at least help support 2 members of the community (Koush & JRummy).
I'm pretty sure Z4Root does not work on the GB versions of DX firmware. That's probably why nothing is working. You aren't actually getting root.
you are on the .605 version of GB (when you see references to .602, .605, etc ...)
To get root, start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258599
You may also want to download the Droid2 recovery rather than the DX. The D2 version is a little newer and I think avoids a slight bug on later kernels when Debug is on. The D2 version works just fine on the DX. It can be downloaded free from here:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/08/droid-x-recovery.html
Once you are rooted and have recover properly working, you should be able to use the Rom Toolbox to download and install Liberty. Just make sure you read carefully about the 'version' requirements on any ROM.

Oh ok so I was rooting it wrong.
I easily rooted the phone using Pete's Motorola Root Tools. I realized that Rom Toolbox Pro accesses clockwork recovery when the phone is rebooted instead of the phone just restarting fully. But, I still want to start fresh and do everything from the start again. Please let me know if you have any suggestions in the way or order I am doing things. My phone is currently up rooted at 4.5.596 and rooted by Pete's Motorola Root Tools but I want to start over from the beginning so here is what I am going to do:
Note: Before I do anything I am going to format my SD card for a fresh start.
1. Use RSD_Lite 4.9 to Flash my phone back to 2.3.340 using a file called VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf. I always do this part with no problem.
2. Do a hold power+home then search and do a system wipe/restore. Then Activate service, sign into gmail etc.
3. Now that the OS is loaded (the old version with the grey bars 2.3.340) I am going to root my phone using Petes Root Tools. (I hope I can root it with this tool when the firmware is this version.)
4. Put the 3 zip files I have on my SD card to upgrade to GB 588. Also put my GB 596 file on here.
5. I will download 1 app. D2BootStrapper. Bootstrap recovery, reboot into recovery. Install all 3 zip files from SD card. Now I boot up in GB 588.
6. Now I go right back into D2BootStrapper. Bootstrap recovery, reboot into recovery. Install GB 596. Now I have GB 596 rooted and loaded.
7. After this, shouldn't I be able to download Rom Manager Premium and Rom Toolbox Pro and test as many roms as I want? always reverting back to my original backup.
I noticed after installing liberty I was getting all kind of force close popups. And the phone wouldn't connect to service. But then I just held power + home then hit the up/down arrows and did a wipe/restore and it loaded liberty and everything works. Is this normally what has to be done when installing roms?
If there is anything wrong with my process please let me know. Whew I can't believe all that I learned in 1 day.

You've got a lot of steps there that really aren't necessary. When you install a ROM like Liberty, it replaces EVERYTHING in /system. Thus, about all that is left from a .596, .588, .602, etc install is the kernel. The Kernel doesn't change very often in Motorola builds. The last change was on .602. Thus, for your purposes there is no difference between .602 and .605 (FYI, .605 was just a keyboard fix over .602).
So, if you search around, you should find an SBF or AIO flash file to get you to .602.
Or you can simply take the OTA update from VZW after SBF'ing to .340
Once you've flashed your Rom, be sure to clear data/factory reset. You should then start with a clean system.

Alright, if you don't mind can you please let me know what steps I can avoid.
I didn't think it was possible to have a rooted .605 but I guess I was wrong.
So my goal should be to get to .605, then root it. Then install roms from there?

On your first post you said you were on .605. I'm assuming that is still the case.
If so, then root it with pete's tool (I think you've already done that).
Install D2bootstrap, then ROM Toolbox and install your rom from there.
I have to be honest, in that I've not used Liberty in a while, nor have I used Rom Toolbox. It shouldn't be a problem, just make sure that the version of Liberty you are using is for the GB kernel. Some of the older versions of Liberty (Which I did use, and like) were for the Froyo kernel (in that case, stay on .340 and do your upgrades).
Make sure you wipe data in recovery after installing the ROM. Lots of 'Boot Loops' are due to not wiping data after flashing a new rom.

Yeah
Yeah I read up on all of that. I actually might not end up going with Liberty. Going to try others like ICX. But before I do any of this I need to get to .605.
No I am not at .605 I believe that's where my phone was before I started all of this.
Right now I am flashing back to 2.3.34
Once I am back up and running there. Can you please recommend the easiest way to get to .605 and that will be my final question.

.605 should update automatic. If not you can disable the updater using titanium backup by freezing system updater.
1. Use petes tools install cwm as well
A. Droid x bootstrap get this
B. Titanium backup. Backup your apps
2. Make a backup using cwm and backup apps with tb
3. Put the rom zip files on the sd card.
4. Reboot to recovery. Reformat system data etc
DO NOT REFORMAT THE SD CARD.
5. Wipe cache davik etc.
6 flash rom. And reboot.
7 run tb for your apps
Should be a smooth and clean install. The roms are already rooted so no need to worry about that. Hope this helps

I would point you to a link here, but couldn't find a quick/easy link to what I wanted.
In this list is an SBF file for .602. Since you seem comfortable with doing SBF's, I would just SBF straight to .602 and root it from there.
Don't know much about ICX, but would encourage you to look at the CM7DXGB thread over at Rootzwiki as well.

ohh, well I just went to Settings > About Phone and its auto updating to .605
Am I not going to be able to root it after this update or should it be fine.

Pete's Root tool should root .605 just fine.

One last thing
As far as Clockwork recovery goes.
Should I always be in the latest version 5.0.2.0 (the blue version)
Or the old version 2.something (the green version)
Why is there 2 version and why would I ever want to flash back to the old version 2.something?

Couple things most of the updates are to add support fix minor bugs etc.
I run the one from petes all the time I forget which version. I haven't had problems.
On my mt4g slide I had to flash a modified verson of clockwork due to my phone being newer and not as much support
With that said its not a difficult process to get a new recovery image. You would need terminal emulator and root explorer. Couple of great guides on here on how to do so. Also other methods as well.
All in all the ones that pete's give you should suffice. Unless your one of the extreame types of people who want the newest or like messing around.
Just remember backups can make the process and hassle of soft bricking your phone much easier to fix and takes a few mins to do.
Look around the forums lots of great information from the devs, experts, etc

The newer version changes the way backups are stored. The new format is smaller and quicker.
Among other issues/bug fixes as mentioned before, but the backup issue is important as the new version will not restore the old style backups.

How to dump factory rom + how i rooted bell 4g tab

So I've got a Bell GT-P7500M 4G and I want to root it, and before I do that I'd like to create a dump of my factory rom/kernel/anything else I can backup before messing with it. I've been looking around to see if any of this is available, however I can't seem to find anything. I'm also wondering which rooting process & files I should use for this device.
Thanks,
Richard

So I got adventurous and try to get this working on my own, here's what I did.
Installed clockwork recovery 4.0.0.4 using Odin. I used the files found in the tabrooteasy.zip
did a backup of the device using cwm.
used the 3g rooting process described in the main post. I tried the 4g one first, however the tablet would no longer turn on or enter cwm. I then tried the downloader mode which did work so I plugged into my comp and reinstalled clockwork mod using Odin. once I could enter cwm again I restored my previous backup.
Then I tried using the 3g root process which worked oerfectly, and I then installed the pershoot kernel which also works with the bell tab.
I hope this is helpful to anyone else who has the bell tablet that wishes to root their device.
Thanks

[HOLY CRAP][SPRINT P100] Stock to CM10 JellyBean - Complete Walkthrough

*********************************************
CM10 is now available.
Requirements: Root
From rooted stock or a custom rom, just download and install updated Rom Manager from the Play Store and download CM10 Nightly and GAPPS. Reboot into ClockWorkMod, factory wipe, disable signature check, flash CM10 twice. The first time partitions our tabs and reboots. Flashing a second time is for good measure. Then flash GAPPS. Done.
Note: I am not sure if Rom Manager can flash ClockworkMod directly. I personally updated from ICS > CM10 by downloading CM10 and GAPPS through GooManager and flashing manually in ClockWorkMod.
Its been reported that you can go directly from rooted stock to CM10. I've actually completed everything below to get to ICS first (Stock > ICS > CM10 JB).
CM10 is a much better experience. The tab works much better, doesn't freak out, lasts longer, plays better.
*********************************************
Wow. Lots of different, confusing, and scattered information about how to go from stock Gingerbread to the latest CM9 build. It is all very confusing and honestly most of the useful information isn't even on this site. So I figured I would help myself (and others) in creating a very detailed walkthrough of the process required to successfully get from GB to CM9 Build 7.
**This specifically outlines the methods to take a COMPLETELY STOCK Sprint Galaxy Tab 7" SPH-P100, unrooted, to a ICE CREAM SANDWICH rom. I "think" it might also work for the Verizon CDMA and a few others. I think the ROM itself is a general overall generic build for all 7" Gtabs. So heads up that if you have a different version, you might want to use this as a guide rather then a step-by-step.**
BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU MAY NEED BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THIS PROCESS WILL FORMAT YOUR GALAXY TAB
GET CONNECTED!
We need to download Heimdall's App and his Drivers (Main URL). This is the first confusing steps as everyone suggests using an older version, but the included drivers don't work on newer Windows OS's. So you have to mix and match a few different versions to get it working. I've already compiled an archive with everything you need: Heimhall Mixture /w zImage & ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.7
1. Extract everything to a simple folder [ex. C:\GTABICS ]
2. Turn off Gtab. Hold VolDown+Power until you get to a downloading screen
3. C:\GTABICS\Drivers\zadiag.exe to load drivers [try running as Administrator]
4. C:\GTABICS\heimdall-frontend.exe to start the process
5. Kind of confusing. Focus on the "BROWSE" buttons. Look for "Kernel(zImage)" on the left and "Recovery" on the right. Hit browse for each one and select the appropriate file from C:\GTABICS. Obviously "Kernel(zImage)" = "zImage" and "Recovery" = "recovery.bin".
6. Make sure Kernel(zImage) and Recovery both have files selected and a checked box. While GTAB is at the black Downloading screen: Hit "START".
7. The process is pretty fast. Don't rush. At this point your tab will probably just bootloop anyway.
LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD
Now you have ClockWorkMod installed and a proper kernel, most flashers will feel really at ease right now. But there are a few little quirks that will cause this to go bad. You have to install 2 versions of ICS to get to the latest; One using the existing partition table, and a second that will update to a newer format. You obviously have to install GAPPS like always with a CM rom, but not so fast, you have to manually "MOUNT /SYSTEM" in CWM before it will even take. And there is the fact that you have to manually open and edit the CM9 Build7 update and remove code....[holy crap].
But it is pretty easy once you go through it once.
REQUIRED FILES
JT1136 CM9 V5
JT1136 CM9 V7 UPDATE
GAPPS
Prepare CM9 v7 Update
1. On your PC, open "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-galaxytab7c-KANG-BUILD7.zip" and browse to META-INF\com\google\android
2. Copy "updater-script" to your desktop and open with Notepad and remove the first 3 lines or just Download it.
3. Drag and drop the update-script back into the META-INF\com\google\android folder, overwriting the existing one.
If all goes well, you are now done with the PC.
COPY FILES AND FLASH
1. Copy Build5, the new Build7, and GAPPS to your microSD card.
2. Boot into ClockWorkMod: Power off. Hold VOLUP + POWER
3. Factory Reset / clear cache / wipe Dalvik Cache / Breathe
4. Flash zip from SDCard: locate Build5 and Flash
5. Factory Reset / clear cache / wipe Dalvik Cache / Breathe
5.5 [OPTIONAL] You should be able to boot into ICS at this point if you want to make sure build5 flashed properly before upgrading to build7
6. Flash zip from SDCard: locate Build7 and Flash
At this step, my GTab rebooted in the middle of the process the first time. It freaked me out but I assume (now) that since it changed the partition tables, it needed to reset. So I did it a second time just to be safe:
7. Flash zip from SDCard: locate Build7 and Flash
8. Factory Reset / clear cache / wipe Dalvik Cache / Breathe
Congrats. You should have a working bootable CM9 build. But lets flash GAPPS so we have our Google services. This is tricky.
9. Mounts and Storage > Mount /System
10. Flash zip from SDCard: locate GAPPS and Flash.
11. Finally [!] reset device and prepare for boot.
Now you are on the latest CM9 build [7] and have the latest GAPPS installed. Hopefully you are booting now and see the famous ICS Boot Animation. Have fun. In the future you should be able to simply download new roms as they are available and flash normally like you would any other device.
RECAP:
Drivers and Flash Tool
Pre-Edited updater-script
UPDATES
Convert to Sprint
The above procedure will set your Tab as a Verizon version. If you plan on using the Sprint cellular service or just want everything to match, then flash this via ClockWorkMod.
****************************************​
I didn't do any development work. All credit goes to Heimdall for his fantastic Recovery Flasher and jt1136 for his great stills porting this awesome rom over to our Galaxy Tabs. All I did was bump and grind my way through to see a successful working flash. I figured if I didn't post a walkthrough here, I would hate myself in 6 months when I boink something up and have to do this all over again. I would recommend you keeping all of the files safe somewhere to prevent this headache again.

i have been thinking about moving up to ICS with my sprint sph-p100
just not sure if i should jump now or wait till more things are working ?
do the things working out number those not , is it ready to be a daily driver yet?

Camera fully works but is flaky sometimes. Video out isn't working yet but he's working on it.
Other then that, its golden. Very fast and works well. Really worth it. Feels much better... like an actual tablet vs a large phone.
Iffy Camera and video out aren't worth holding back. One of the benefits is now Wiimotes and PS3 controllers will pair up using their respective apps now.

flashed sprint Tab
Hello all,
Thanks for the files and instructions! Here is my situation/question:
I bought my Gtab off of ebay flashed to work on Boostmobile's 3G network. It works great, and had no problem with the official OTA upgrade to Gingerbread.
Now I'm dying to upgrade to ICS but am worried that this would mess with my 3G connection. I can't provide any details of what went into the flashing (its not a process I understand), but I'm hoping that someone out there will.
So, if I follow the instructions in this thread will I still be able to use my Tab with the boost 3G it connects to now?
Many, many thanks for any help with this!!

Great Thanks! The first complete step-to-step instruction for installing ICS on Sprint p100.
One note- if you have Error 12 - delete all SAMSUNG USB drivers on PC, rebut and instal drivers from first archive.
At least!!! Thanks a lot!

I don't use the cellular network (sprint) but it does come up and show signal. I don't use it as a phone or anything like some people (supposedly you can install phone.apk and make calls over a voice plan).
I just use the tab as a tab. I just wanted to confirm that it appears to see the cellular network fine.

Sprint patch for what? Mind linking? No offense but posts like these without links or more information is what creates confusion.
I haven't used a patch at all and everything seems to be working. I also never heard of a patch to fix anything.

Hello all,
Thanks for the files and instructions! Here is my situation/question:
I bought my Gtab off of ebay flashed to work on Boostmobile's 3G network. It works great, and had no problem with the official OTA upgrade to Gingerbread.
Now I'm dying to upgrade to ICS but am worried that this would mess with my 3G connection. I can't provide any details of what went into the flashing (its not a process I understand), but I'm hoping that someone out there will.
So, if I follow the instructions in this thread will I still be able to use my Tab with the boost 3G it connects to now?
Many, many thanks for any help with this!!

you have nothing to worry about, 3g will still work.. i have flashed many roms on mine including ics ones and 3g still worked.
well i shouldn't say many roms...i've flashed it many times to ics and back to gb.

Sprint patch for what? Mind linking? No offense but posts like these without links or more information is what creates confusion.

As soon as I flash version 5 I get an error that installation was aborted, what did I do wrong?

Try re-downloading the version 5 zip again. Make sure you don't edit anything within the zip before you put it on your SD card. This happened to me when I edited the version 7 zip as instructed above.

Ok. Got it working. What is the newest ver.? I'm on 4.03

I think 4.0.3 is the latest ported over. I have a Galaxy Nexus and 4.0.4 was just released... so I would expect delays in porting that over to unofficial devices.
The patch, I've found, is just cosmetic. Once you upgrade to ICS using this method, the build.prop has everything setup as a Verizon Device (name, settings, etc). They can all be manually changed but there is a patch that you can flash via ClockWorkMod that does everything for you.
The link was posted a few posts up.

What is DTI? I may just leave it as verizon since I get more signal. LOL

Hey what's up guys I just threw this on my sprint tab... I had a few quirks with it early... when I first flashed the clockwork mod on it, the screen was discombobulated... the capacitive touch orientation was in landscape mode while the actual screen was in portrait.
So when I had to put the files back on the tab after modifying build 7 zip. I had to figure how to unlock the screen and then and also to choose "connect USB to storage"
Then I got a little nervous while doing the wipe because it took long. I thought it froze..
Just a heads up of what could happen to other guys .
Also now after full install, I find that my ram is usually pretty low and my CPU usage is almost always @ 100 percent .
Taking away from the fluidity... any suggestions ?
I restored my email from titanium back up and also my browser bookmarks, now they don't open up or close immediately. This happens with a lot with system data restored things....

Whenever my tab starts it says encryption unsucessful, how can I get past this screen?
