upgraded to FRG83D and now Amon Ra will not load

upgraded to FRG83D and now Amon Ra will not load

Sounds like you might have lost root, can you confirm or deny?

I also lost root when updating sic to FRG83D. I was able to reinstall RA 2.0, make a Nandroid BU of the stock ROM, then reload CM-6.1. I'll wait for Gingerbread

Do you have unlocked bootloader?
If not, then...hmmmm :/
Does Super One Click work on FRG83D?

SuperOneClick was reported multiple times to work.
Reading through the front page of Q&A would have solved the OP his problem, together with leaving XDA some more free bytes in the cyberspace.

Of course you lost Amon RA, they probably create the two scripts which check for and restore stock recovery. If those two scripts are there at (boot time?) it restores stock recovery and you get the /!\ symbol.
So it restores the stock recovery and "unroots" the phone, but you can re-root with the Super One Click: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9369447&postcount=1323
Once you're root again, follow the instructions to install Amon. Don't just run flash_image, you gotta do the full set of instructions or it'll restore the stock recovery again.

Then just reflash the recovery.. The only reason you have to do anything "special" is if you don't want to unlock the boot loader.

btw: is it normal that you get the excmalation mark everytime you want to access the stock recovery?
i also lost amon ra during the frg83d update, but thats what i wanted because i only ust stock roms and want to have OTA functionality. (even though i found out this would have been possible with amon ra too).
i can't remember is the exclamation mark screen was normal for stock recovery...

Yes it's normal. To access the menu you hold the power button and hit vol+

Went to 2.33 and not red triangle on Hboot

i updated to 2.33 now when i boot into recovery i get a phone with a red triangle. The only thing I can do is remove the battery to reboot. What do i need to do?
Thanks,

Did you update via the OTA from Sprint? Are you rooted?

Yes updated OTA from sprint and yes Rooted

If you took the ota from sprint you're no longer rooted.... Sorry... But to stay rooted you needed to flash a rooted ROM...

Okay, well if you updated via the OTA then you are more than likely now unrooted. You are getting the red triangle because you don't have a recovery anymore. Unless I am mistaken, you should still be able to get into the hboot screen though. Are you holding volume down and the power button?

Yes i can so do I need to root again

Well if you can get into hboot it should say S-OFF or S-ON near the top. If you are S-OFF you may be able to reverse the not being rooted issue. But, if you are S-ON you are out of luck and will have to wait for someone to find a new exploit for rooting the new update.

If your bootloader is S off still, all you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of a recovery image. From that point flash a new Rom. If you want to be on the ota update, then just flash a rooted version, which would've been way easier for youth do in the first place.

I did and I was able to get to Hboot and I see S-off at the top how do I get S-on

Put this on root of sd http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
download and dont extract just drag it to sd card and go to bootloader it should say update press vol up for update then when its done uploading you will have amon ra it only works if youre S-OFF

You DON'T want s-on, so just place the zip posted above me in your sdcards root and flash it in the bootloader.

yes S-off I place the file PC36img.zip on SD now how do I boot without recovery

I am sorry "Flash" without recovery

boot into bootloader then go into fastboot and it should start updating then when its done u have amon ra and can flash a rom from there but first put tht file on sd card

Apparently, taking the OTA while staying rooted keeps you S-off.
Makes me laugh even HARDER at people who unrooted to take the OTA

Verified, ran August GB RUU and phone re-rooted

Okay I verified that if you have s-off you will be able to get root back on your phone if you run the RUU.
As expected the RUU did unroot my phone but it didn't touch s-off. So I downloaded CWM 3.0.0.8 from dougpiston.com and changed it to PB31IMG.zip (this has to be a flashable zip file to work) and it loaded from hboot no problem. I then downloaded the latest superuser app using ROM Manager, version 2.3.6.3 efgh, older versions will not work, and just flashed it through recovery. Superuser does not need to be renamed update.zip you can just leave the name as is and select let me choose zip from sdcard and it installs just fine.
Took a while for me to get superuser running again as I had an older version and I could only find the newest version in ROM Manager.

Thanks to you both. I didn't even click on the Download ROM because it's premium and I'm still getting my feet wet with the whole root thing. I'm off to try the GB RUU w/radio and then re-root.

What if you have s-on?

You can only re-root if you have s-off. S-on blocks you from replacing the stock recovery with a custom recovery and blocks the installation of superuser into the system folder.
Eventually the Unrevoked team will come up with a new way to root phones but this most likely won't happen till the OTA actually starts to drop and people report how they lost root. And then who knows how long it will take them to do it. Could be a few days to a few months.

I ran the RUU with all expectations of not being able to re-root my phone just so I could test if the OTA would change the security settings on my phone. I also still wasn't sure if I could even get root back if it was still s-off so I was willing to experiment with knowing full well what could happen. From past experience with the Eris and losing root for about 3 months you have to flash these leaks with all expectations that it will break your phone and not sweat it too much if it does as eventually someone will find a fix.

You're absolutely right. I have no doubt in my mind someone will come up with a way to root 2.3 on the INC

Alright, I've got s-off, downloaded the superuser 2.3.6.3 efgh app from the ROM manager butttt... now what? I've tried to boot into recovery but I just get an icon of a phone with an exclamation mark inside of a triangle, which I'm assuming isn't good.

Flash clockworkmod recovery first, then the superuser zip.

I tried that but it gives me an error saying: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!".

If you flashed the GB RUU and lost root and/or s-off.
Someone correct me please if I'm wrong but couldn't you download the froyo RUU and load it then root and s-off?

How are you trying to flash it? I'd recommend getting the 3.0.0.7 (AMOLED) or 3.0.0.8 (SLCD) recovery from www.dougpiston.com. Flash in hboot. Or is that how you're doing it?

The Eris had a manual method (race method) for rooting the phone but I could never find one posted for the Inc. It involved having the phone connected to a pc with adb running and then taking out the sdcard and rebooting, at a certain point of the boot process you counted to 4 and then pushed the sdcard back in. If you did it correctly adb was able to connect to the phone and you could slip a custom recovery and su in. It was rather complicated and only a handful of people ever did it correctly myself included and it was eventually replaced by a one-click method. The one-click method still pretty much does the same thing you just don't have to manually remove the sdcard or have the phone connected to a pc. In some ways the Eris has a lot more support from its community than the Inc does probably because it was Verizons first android phone.

I second this it has to be a flashable version (contains android-info text file + the recovery image) to work. I used the 3.0.0.8 file from doug pistons website which is already to go just needs to be renamed PB31IMG.zip and make sure it isn't being named PB31IMG.zip.zip as file extensions can be hidden especially if you are renaming it on a pc. I downloaded it directly to my phone and renamed it there so the extension wasn't hidden.

I beleive that is becasue you stil have the stock recovery? Did you flash the clockwork recovery from dougpiston.com?

I flashed the clockwork mod recovery 3.0.0.7 from dougpiston via hboot.
I tried several different ways to boot into recovery to flash the superuser app but it isn't working. When I try to do it from the clockword mod app it says the same error: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!".
I tried to manually download the superuser .zip and boot into recovery from the hboot menu, but it still gave me that same phone icon with the exclamation mark and triangle and then nothing.

First thing are you getting into recovery from the hboot menu? And you can't get into recovery from ROM Manager because you need superuser installed to do it that way. It still sounds to me like you don't have ClockworkMod Recovery installed. Maybe only version 3.0.0.8 works I'm not sure but that version is for both amoled and SLCD screens. So either try reflashing your copy of 3.0.0.7 or try flashing 3.0.0.8. I do think I had to flash the recovery a couple times to get it to stick.

[Q] Rooting GingerBread 2.3.4 on HTC G2

Hey everybody, I need some help perm rooting my HTC G2. Im using these instructions to permroot my G2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206930
Im stuck on this section....
Save the attached files (PC10IMG.zip & su.zip) to your sdcard. Reboot into the bootloader either by using the adb command adb reboot bootloader or by powering off, and then holding Vol-Down+Power.
The bootloader will scan for PC10IMG.zip and then ask you if you want to flash the recovery. Yes! You do!
After this, reboot the phone. Reboot into recovery by using the adb command adb reboot recovery, or booting back into the bootloader and navigating to the Recovery console (if you didn't delete the PC10IMG.zip, bootloader will scan it, but don't let it update again, this is redundant).
Once you are in ClockworkMod, navigate to "install zip from sdcard", then to "choose zip from zip card". Select the su.zip file from the list, and authorize the recovery console to flash the zip. Reboot the phone.
Now, you will see the coveted SuperUser app in your drawer. I figured this was wayyyy to easy to have worked, so I tested some root dependent apps, they work flawlessly. I also used the adb command adb shell followed by su once in the shell. SuperUser requested my permission and after granting it, I am able to remove the bloatware that was replaced during the downgrade, also, rebooting the phone as normal and from a removed battery does not remove this root. So I'll say it's a permaroot.
I compiled the attached files specifically for this. The ClockworkMod Recovery version is 3.0.2.4, SuperUser version is 2.3.6.1.
I currently have my G2 with S-OFF and a stock Gingerbread 2.3.4. I have the PC10IMG.zip and su.zip in the root or directly in my sdcard. In no folders im trying to say... I reboot into the bootloader. The bootloader will scan for PC10IMG.zip and then ask you if you want to flash the recovery. Yes! You do!
Well when I do it it doesnt ask me to "flash the recovery" it says "Parsing....(SD ZIP)
(1) RECOVERY
Do you want to start the update?
<VOL UP> YES
<VOL DOWN> NO
I accept the update by pressing vol. up. It comes back and says Update comeplete... - OK
Press Power to Reboot
I reboot and get into clockworkmod it says click "install zip from sdcard" I click it and a little hat appears but it doesnt do anything from there. I let it set a couple of min but still nothing... I have to pull battery out to get it to reboot. help pls....

DUDE YOUR THE MAN!!!!!!! This was my first root, bad thing was I upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.4 before getting S-OFF so I had to downgrade too Froyo 2.2 and go thru all the mumbo jumbo of getting S-OFF and Perma Root. Then reflash Froyo 2.2 with S-OFF so I could upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.4.
You know how many hours Ive spent on this the last 2 days LMAO to get stuck on the last step in CWM because I was hitting the power button instead of the OPTICAL button lol. My brain was so fried last night. Almost bounced my phone off the wall... Thanks again... +1 for you...

Not quite. It can probably explained more accurately but the gist of it is this:
An unlocked bootloader is what allows you to flash custom roms to your phone.
Root access simply grants you the rights to mess with your phones rom whichever way you want.

I thinks that's pretty much it, once you have unlocked your bootloader you'll be able to flash any custom rom you like. Though it'll probably a bit tricky on the first go since you don't have a custom recovery yet, so I believe you'd have to flash some pc10img.
Still it's commonly to believed to be the better choice to stick with the more exhausting solutions posted around here, since HTC will register your phone if you use their tool. At least for the time being they claim that by using their way, your warranty will be void.

I've unlocked my desire z through the htcdev.com website.

I get unlock my bootloader today, and YES there is S-ON, but on the top is written in hboot menu big letters UNLOCKED (How you thinks, htcdev joke?).
I've installed clockworkmod using fastboot:

Then put off battery and turn on phone with volume down + power, I pressed 'recovery' menu option. Clockworkmod runs correctly. Then tried last stable CyanogenMod 7.1.0, flash was done without errors, I wiped out what's need (cache, data). Next I tried run phone, but freezes at splash (green htc letters on white background).
I tried also miui mod, but Ive got only MIUI splash screen nothing else.
Then I restored my htc from backup (done before flashing using clockworkmod) and Im still on the stock htc android 2.3.3.

1. boot to fastboot mode, flash a custom recovery (recommand ClockWorkMod), power down the phone.
2. put your downloaded update_cm7.xxx.zip into sdcard, boot phone into recovery
3. choose in the recovery, first "wipe data", then "install update from sdcard", choose the zip file you just put in.
4. choose "reboot system"
that's all to go.

Booting problem is mostly kernel related, do you have logcat output? (run "adb logcat" and boot the phone)
I encountered with the situation (w. another phone) that the recovery can't flush the boot partition during the recovery installation, I have to extract the boot.img file from the zip and flash it manually in the fastboot mode (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
EDIT:
That was a EVO3D with UNLOCKED HBOOT, I believe you're having the same situation, try my method or may others make out a better perfect solution ? (not my own phone, I just helped with its owner, no time to dig the details)

My friend has an officially unlocked Desire Z as well and I gave him these instructions to try it out, he has the same boot problem (stuck at splash screen). Maybe this information should either be stickied or added to a faq until there is a real solution to the problem (unlike this workaround), updated cwm or something like that.
Anyway thanks for sharing this information.

HTC bootloader unlock tool is quite restrictive. It still leaves you S-ON, so you won't be able to flash a new hboot or radios.
I recommend avoiding it and using the current well-proven methods from the XDA Wiki.
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.

Its working now...
Steps I followed:
1. flash recovery using fastboot
2. Do a nandroid backup using recovery
3. flash boot.img using fastboot
4. reboot into recovery
5. wipe data/cache
5. install update for CM7, and gapps
Also make sure before doing any of these steps you have copied CM7 and gapps update onto sdcard.
Thanks everyone for helping out.

I am experimenting with this myself and I don't seem to be having the same issues flashing a boot.img from an update.zip in ClockworkMod recovery with the official HTC unlocked bootloader that others are having. Maybe it is the version of the recovery that is the issue? Which version is everyone trying to use? I am using the 3.xxxx version that is linked from the wiki. I have had other problems with the 5.xxx version and tend to stick with the older version for that reason anyways.
