Hi, this might be a very simple question and easy to answer but i just want to make sure i do it correctly as i am flashing CM7 for the first time, I am currently using Stock 2.3.4 rooted with unlocked bootloader.
My first question is that the file i download is update-cm-7.0.3N1-signed.zip, so do i need to rename the file to update or no need when flashing it?
Also with CM7 do i need to root the phone or its already rooted and i will have super user permissions?
Also is there a link where i can download the Google apps all together rather than downloading one at a time.
Thanks.
Hi there, you don't mention what phone you have.
Maybe you should look at the forum specific to your phone and you will find the CM 7 thread contained in the Development section.
All your questions should be answered there.
Hope this helps.

Hey all!
I was thinking of rooting my eris, but after reading the forum some, I still have a couple questions about Eris rooting and rooting in general.
First off, if I use the one click root app, I will not have to install a new rom, correct? Also, how likely is it to brick my phone? If bricked, is there a method of restoring it?
Secondly, if I install the FroYo rom, would I be able to go back to the factory build of OTA 2.1? Or would I be stuck with custom roms then?
The only reason I am concerned with restoring the factory rom is that if something happens to the phone, I'd like my warranty to still be able to cover it (I'm 99% sure that they won't cover a rooted froyo thats overclocked).
Also, sorry if these have been asked before, I just wasn't able to find them on my own.
You need to ask these questions n the Q&A forum. This is a Dev forum and should only have questions relating to Roms and issues with custom roms.
Get ready for the dog pile.
Uh oh, my bad. I thought it was in the q&a...
Sorry guys, I'll see if I can delete it from the app and repost

there are answers to ur questions all over these forums , ushouldnt have any troubles finding them
Well quick background information. I acquired my first samsung continuum 3 weeks ago, bricked it, and had to return it and get another one.
So while i waited for my new phone to arrive in the mail i was reading thread after thread and tutorials and guides to the Android OS, Samsung Continumm, Kernels, ROMS, etc.
Once my phone arrived i had a whole bunch of knowledge about it and successfully Rooted it using SuperOneClick, Flashed CWM into it, and flashed the PeanutButterJelly kernel. Yes Without messing it up again.
Well here are my questions:
1) Where can i find the official adrynalyne's rom for the continuum(yes i used the search button but didnt have much luck.
2) Is there a continuum radio file posted somewhere in the forum? people were talking about it in the forum but nobody can tell me where it is.
3) Could I constantly keep flashing kernels and roms or is there a limit to how many times i can do that?
4) If there happens to be an update from verizon, will rooting,replacing kernels and roms, take away the ability to download it.
Sorry again for the random questions, and if you tell me to use the "Search" option can you at least let me know exactly what to type in so i can find the right answer. Thanks You.
And one more thing, What is your phone set up, as in:Kernel,Rom,any mods, battery saving apps, root-only apps.

more questions...
1. The ROM is located under the android development section of our forum.
Here's a link to the ROM though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943402
2. There is no radio file. There has been talk of it because we found out that the Fascinate radio files work with the continuum. We don't have our own though :'(
3. There is no limit besides the amount of ROMs and kernels you want to try.
4. Custom ROMs always in my experience disable the OTA updates that Verizon puts out. All you have to do though is revert back to stock and download the update if you truly want it.
Flashing ROMs and kernals will prevent you from being able to download any Verizon updates.

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

Odds are you were on 3.1 when you unboxed but it doesn't matter. The easiest way to root the tab is to use ODIN to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, put the root .zip on the SD card and then flash the root .zip form CWM. Feel free to let me know if you need help!
The standard GT10.1 root zip installs an old version of Superuser that doesn't jive well with ICS. The solution is using Superuser 3.1.3-ARM from the Superuser site, but I have seen so many people struggle with this that I think I might take it upon myself to take the current flashable zip and just create a new one specifically for ICS by replacing the apk. I don't think anyone would mind, would they? There's no rule against doing so as far as I know.
I think I will ask a couple of q's about it and then put that together for everyone if it's cool.

Supercool. I've tried a lot of ways to root Stock ROM ICS, and most methods just make it worse (scrolling recovery, scrolling wake-up screen, etc.), so if you have a fail-safe method, via Odin, or noob-friendly Odin-free (my pref), be my guest, and I will misuse a secondary one for testing that (my wife's, if I survive the wrath)...
You've got my support!

I agree, rolling anything sucks. But I'm...just another noob. *snicker*
What I'm offering is to take that Galaxy_Tab_Root.zip and repackage the flashable zip with the newer Superuser apk...it won't fix the rolling recovery or rolling wakeup of an ICS rom - there's lots of content on this forum that teaches folks how to get around that. I do agree it would be helpful to newcomers to be pointed in the direction of the right solutions so that is something I'd do.
Speaking of the wife's device - I feel you there too.....took me almost 2 months to convince the lady to let me touch it and I just rooted it when she wasn't looking.
You could try this for rooting http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...gn=Feed:+xda-developers/ShsH+(xda-developers)
Swyped from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note.

The OP says it's confirmed working on the GT-P7510, but it was just in a response to a thanks post by someone using a 7510. They never said whether it worked or not. I tried it and it failed on my GT-P7510. I didn't try but once though. YMMV
BTW-It did not do any harm at all trying. It just didn't work.
OK guys, here you go:
ICS Root Zip
Here's what I did
1) Cracked open the Superuser flashable zip and the old root zip
2) Swapped in the new update-binary from the Superuser flashable zip and merged updater-scripts so newer su binary file and Superuser.apk are installed - really not that much different from the Superuser flashable honestly
3) zipped it all back up
All of the credits in the original update script and proper credits for su binary/Superuser.apk added to script - I take credit for nothing other than swapping updated files into the old zip package.
NOTE: This particular package is NOT TESTED!!! I am at work and already have a rooted tab so haven't got the environment to test it right now. However, in all honesty, the changes are pretty minor so it should work just fine. If any of you are on stock firmware, give it a go if you choose but don't flame me if it doesn't work. TAKE A BACKUP WITH YOUR RECOVERY FIRST! THAT IS ALREADY A RULE!
Hope this works and saves folks a step trying to root ICS.
EDIT: If someone can confirm that this works I'll probably just add the same link to the existing HOWTO thread for rooting this device. People are already looking there first for direction so we'll make it nice and easy to find.
help please

thank you for your response and offeing to help i would'nt mind if your way works as i dont want to brick it as its only a week old so if you can point me in the right direction to get the files i need and maybe a guide to follow that would be appreciaped thanks .
Head into the Android Development section and check the stickies at the top of the forum. There are wonderful guides there that will point you to the correct recovery.
Make sure you save this ZIP file I re-packaged to the root of your tablet before you start...saves you some time when you actually start the process. You can simply reboot into your newly flashed recovery and then flash the zip file. Let me know if it works for you!! Again, I didn't really change it at all, just tiny changes to the updater script and updated files.
Hi billy...How did things go? Were you able to get rooted?
Hi guys, this is my first time posting anything here but i made an attempt at putting together a root and cwm installing .bat file.
Basically what i did was mix thecubed's and WACOmalt's root and cwm code so that you can do everything in one go.
If you guys feel up to it can you try it out and let me know what you think.
btw: i'm believe this should go in G2 Android Development (Verizon) but im not allowed to put it there yet.
finally here is the link to it...
