1.
You should already be in the recovery, but if not, press and hold the power and volume up button to get into recovery mode.
2.
Choose the "Install zip from sd card" option
3.
Choose "Choose zip from internal sd card" option
4.
Navigate and select the Overcome vX.X.X Full Install zip file.
Interesting... I just installed Overcome yesterday using Odin though... Here you are not suggesting Wipe & Restock... Any Camera issues after doing this?
I did not wipe but the option is available through Overcome's recovery mode that is flashed in this tutorial.
As for the camera issues, sounds like a hardware problem.
Hmm but it was working fine before .. Will try restocking and then see...thx for your response..

Hi,
a pin of my USB connector is broken so I cannot get a USB data connection to a PC (but charging still works ...).
How can I root the official 318 build of froyo ? More specifically, in the new build, there doesn't seem to be any mounted filesystem on which one can copy RATC to run it.
Any hint welcome.
Have you already tried superoneclick, androot, or z4root? If so, then maybe try the below.
I don't know if this will work but you can try fard's instructions to root manually and use "Terminal Emulator" from Market instead of ADB SHELL, but i don't know what will happen when you run rageinthecage~ You will need to change the instruction a bit for your case.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844966&highlight=rageagainstthecage
Instructions:
1. Copy all the needed files (from fards thread) into the SDCARD.
2. run Terminal Emulator
3. cd /sdcard/
4. busybox cp rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
5. busybox cp Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
6. busybox cp su /data/local/tmp/su
7. busybox cp busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
8. chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
9. chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/busybox
10. cd /data/local/tmp
11. ./rageagainstthecage
12. Reset Terminal
13. Start Terminal Emulator again
14. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
15. follow the rest of the instructions below "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system "

Well...
yes, I have tried all that.
The main problem with the last option (i.e. CLI) is that the directory /data/local/tmp/ is not user writable (actually /data permissions are 751). So I was in search of a another directory (in an executable partition) where I can copy rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin.
Finally found it : "find" was my friend. /firstboot/sqlite/jackpal.androidterm/ is owned by my user (ID 10123)! It's the only one I found in all the filesystems!
Note that "find" is available through /system/bin/busybox_1P8P1. Btw /firstboot/sqlite/jackpal.androidterm/ seems to be linked to the terminal process.
Ran rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin various times to no avail ! It didn't give me root!
So I posted a question yesterday to see if anyone could instruct me on how to root my phone using a MAC, no PC AT ALL. And then install CWM w/o having to use ODIN, b/c I do not have a PC. Well after some researching on my own I found out how and here is how I did it.
To root: Follow this thread (it requires using adb commands)
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...s/34188-rooting-using-mac-video-tutorial.html
To install CWM reference this thread, but here are the steps. You must download and install ROM Manager from market and also download zimage file. This also requires adb commands.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804248
Copy zImage to the root folder of your SD Card
Open Terminal
$ cd (path to android sdk)/tools
$ ./adb push (path to redbend_ua)/redbend_ua /data/local
$ ./adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 0755 rage.bin
$ ./rage.bin
(username)$ ./adb shell
# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# cd /data/local
# chmod 755 redbend_ua
# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml7
--Phone Reboots--
$ ./adb shell
$ su
# cd /data/local
# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8
I know this is vague, but if you know what you are doing and reference the threads you should have no problem. Let me know if you have any questions.
hello
After unlocking the bootloader then installing the recovery image
then from the recovery image
i install this file from sdcard su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
everything run smoothly and i get installation completed
but then when i boot to the device, the Rom Manager tells that there is no su into /system/bin
how to install su correctly ?
i'm on ubuntu with Nexus S 9023
thank you
even market enabler app tell "we got a problem Huston" that means no root applied
i've mounted the /system from recovery mode but nothing seem to activate the su
help please
Do you have /system/app/Superuser.apk ? Otherwise I would try to flash the zip again from recovery.
no doing /adb shell ls /system/app/
i can't find the Superuser.apk there
even i tried to flash the zip files 3 times
and removed the superuser then installed it from market
still not su
solved
ok, now i fixed this problem
extract the (su and Superuser.apk) from su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip to /sdcard
Code:
./adb reboot bootloader
then choose recovery mode
then
Code:
./adb shell
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin
cd /system/app
cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > Superuser.apk
cd /system/bin
cat /sdcard/su > su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 su
I always have problems to root official 2.3 with automatic ways, and found that this caused from some adb miscommunication.
So this is how to do it manual, in case automatic ways stacked.
First install adb-sdk and add its path to system variables, so to don't have to go to adb' s path before you can run it.
Then download doomlord' s rooting tool and extract it to drive C:\DoomLordRoot.v3.

This is basic what the runme.bat file does, just some paths corrected to point to the right locations.
I have the latest official gingerbread (I think v3) and have been trying to root with no luck. I've gone through the steps here but when try to get root access (su), it gives me permission denied...
Any ideas?
Oneclickroot v2. 2 did the work for me or something like this

This probably means that rooting failed.
What messages you get when you run zergrush?

I got messages for sending 149, then 189 zerglings, then messages about not being able to mount, find or write to directories.
It seems like it wasn't able to get root access to be able to run its process.
In any case, I just downgraded to the previous release and then used ZergRush, which worked perfectly
don't work.
try this, it works for my B528 rom!
