I could really use some ones help me root my phone and get 2.2 froyo I would really appreciate if some one can help me please. Can help one reply and show me how
Do you want root + custom rom, or just stock froyo.
I will tell you that stock froyo leaves a LOT to be desired and the custom ROMs are incredibly better.
Help me out whats best for me to do so I wont be able to crash my phone lol thank you for replying
Honestly, you are better off rooting on your stock 2.1, read the noob guide.... will add more shortly.
After you read that, you will note all you need to do is move update.zip and flash it (in the guide).
Boom, you have root... now download Rom Manager, flash CWR, and create a backup (also in the guide).
Now that you have a backup of your system, backup your apps (Titanium Backup app), in the guide.
Now, download a custom ROM and flash it with CWR..... I recommend Trigger V2.5. You can go to the dev section and find it, or click the link in my signature to watch a video if you like. If on your phone best to watch the video embedded in his thread so the annotations show up.
there is no quick way of doing this
u need to do some reading
in s15274n click on the "My noob guide" read it, then read the "My Vibrant Guide",
then if u have questions about really specific things, people will help you out.
read lots before u start flashing roms, because it is risky.
hope this helps, i am new to the android world too and been reading lots lately, my phone should be here soon though
Ok I will root right now and reply when I am done but where is the noob guid?
my signature, or the sticky in the Q&A section.
Ok checking. I have been reading lots also bc I don't wanna mess up my from that's why I am asking for help you know lol
s15274n noob guide has all you need, rooting is pretty simple and there are A LOT of videos showing step by step for rooting, flashing a rom, updating a theme etc.... so welcome, after a couple of weeks you will be so happy with the phone it will blow your mind
Thank you I'll be back guys i need to help my brother with some stuff. Right now the first I'm doing is rooting so i have the undate.zip in the internal right gonnd turn off my phone and do it
I read those guides posted by s15274n and others countless times before i rooted, then I read them again. Read them until there is no question in your mind as to what your doing. Read the rom flashing guides as well, as you'll more than likley want to put a custom on on after you've gained root. Thanks to s15274n and the other members who have taken the time to make easy to follow guides and tutorials.
Ok I root it now download a Rom right. But what is Trigger V2.5.
I'm looking for the Trigger V2.5 but i dont find it I see Trigger V2.0.1
look in the development section of the vibrant forums..anyway..trigger 2.6 got released today..here is the link for the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921453
(click where it says "download trigger 2.6")
well i followed the perm root instructions and im pretty sure im rooted.. anyway to make sure?
and also, since im new to all this i have a few questions.
first, at the end of the perm root instructions after u do all that rooting stuff it says something about recovery.. what is recovery and do i have to do that? is it recommended? and how do i go about doing that?
and also what is the best and most stable rom out now?
well thats it for now. please help and thanks!
by the way. sorry for the noob-ish questions lol
Most of the roms are in the same place. They're either based on HTC Sense and fully functioning or based on pure google AOSP code and missing a few still.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy for a list
I'm using "AwesomeRom" based on the stock htc code but with sense things removed.
Recovery is the app that runs pre-boot time that lets you choose a rom.
Steps on how to install it are in the second post here:

Hello everybody,
I was wondering if it was possible to root a Motorola Atrix 4G on a Mac? Also, do you need an SD card or can you use the internal storage built into the device? I have no access whatsoever to a windows computer.
First of all, I would like to mention that I am pretty new to this whole rooting thing. I have rooted a HTC Inspire solely for the purpose of putting a newer version of sense on it. That was a very simple, 1-Click root in Terminal.
Also this ICS ROM for Atrix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382934
Is it a ROM that i can just slap on to my phone or do I need to install a cm7 ROM first?
Thanks in advance.

I have been doing that for hours on end today. I will keep looking though.
its best to have an sdcard even if its just a cheep one from amazon
you may not get the best read and write speeds but it will save you head aches in the future . and yea a mac can be used to root an atrix but windows is best
jk.
As for the ROM question, you can install the ROM without installing CM7 first. But you will need to root and unlock the bootloader of the device along with install CWM. (ClockWork Recovery Mod) Only until you do those things will you be ale to install custom ROMS on your Atrix. You will not be able to do it just by rooting the device.
By the way, that is just a ICS Looking ROM. That is not ICS at all, it is just a theme.
For rooting your phone, my best suggestion is the zergRush method. I can guarantee that it worked on my Atrix using a mac. It seems as though someone has created a script to run on mac based off this exploit, however, I personally used the manual root method.
Here's a link to the thread. Again, I used method #4 on the list. Hope it helps.
ive been searching for a good htc evo 4g stock rom so i can root my phone. but guess im bad luck or something and everytime when i run a stock ruu exe it would give me an error stating that i need a complete ruu file. do anyone know where i can find this? ive downloaded at least 5 differernt stock rom exe files and none of them would work! thx
Do you mean stock as in not rooted or stock as rooted, but unchanged?
Edit: BTW, this should go in Q&A if not general.
This isn't the right thread...but try Tommy's classic rom...

What's wrong with your current stock ROM? It should be easy to root what ever stock ROM you currently have on your device with revolutionary S-OFF method.
Firstly you need to do some reading on how to root your phone using either the unrevoked or revolutionary method to then be able to use Custom ROMs. Also, keep in mind that the development thread is only for posting developed work; this thread belongs in the Q&A section instead.
well its my first post so give me a break ok? well i was trying to unroot it with unrevoked but i got a error telling me that my firmware was to up to date. so my plan was to download a older shipped rom so i can unroot it but i guess the file that i have was bad so now im stuck on the main screen with "triangles on all 4 corners and htc logo on the center. i cannot get the phone to bootloader as well.
Are you trying to root or unroot you have said both double check before you send your reply so we have accurate information to help you I don't know what you're trying to do from your posts
Sorry for dumb question but I am not able not excerpt the important steps of all these help and guide threads to install a Rom on my brand new nexus 7 without 3g. Hopefully someone can give me a guide

You need to unlock boot loader, flash custom recovery and then flash roms.
Its best to search and learn for yourself to be honest. If you are fed the information on a plate, you will learn nothing whatsoever.
There are plenty of guides and help resources on Google.
This isn't me trying to be ignorant, it really is the best way as when or if you mess up, you will then need 1 to 1 help which ends up consuming massive amounts of peoples time.
