Can someone help me with this.
I was able to root my incredible after two weeks of trying but it seems only half done. Let me explain.
when I reboot back to phone I have the SU app. I down loaded wifi tether, Titanium backup and Joicedefender. All need root.
Wifi tether says I have root but it can't start. Looking at the log it can't configure several options and thus it fails.
Juicedefender says I have root but it can't configure the APN's which need SU permissions to work.
Titanium Backup actually says right out it can't get root.
The su app has they apps in it from where they ask for permission and it shows the permission as granted.
So basically it looks like only half is working.
I also cinfigured the wifi for "N:" and I did that in "recovery" and it seems fine. It just looks like something isn't right once you reboot.
I've unrooted and done it several times a=but each time this is what I end up with.
Any ideas?
in titanium click problems and download a new busybox...see if that helps
It downloaded it on its own and yes that fixed ut
It looks like tje first 3 apps i tried are the only ones that
Gave me problems
Go figure. It all works great now
Thanks
hey i am going to be getting an incredible soon, and i am going to flash it to cricket. i've flashed other devices to cricket like the htc tp, and the tp2, but this will be the first time flashing an android phone. i understand it needs to be rooted so that the apps work and stuff, can you give me some info on how to root the droid? anything would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

No NAND unlock yet, but now we don't need to fiddle with SD cards and curse at the phone/wall/ceiling for hours while trying to get root on the stubborn Incredibles. Thank you so much Unrevoked!
unrevoked 3
How do I use unrevoked 3? Does it let you tether? I need step by step instructions. It's not like the first one that you do thru the phone so I'm clueless. Help someone.
its easy just download it and extract... find the html file and intall the drivers from it then run the EXE and it does everything
I spent a lot of time on this rooting thing and eventually gave up. And then I saw the recent message regarding the release of Unrevoked v3.0. I installed it and it worked perfectly! I am grateful to finally have root! I would like to thank you guys so much for your time and effort !
How???
how do you find and install the html file??
Edit: never mind i got it
unrevoked 3
yojoe600,
your explanation was too short. where is the html? can you break it down for me like i'm 6...lol. the last root was for dummies this seems complicated. do i use my computer with my evo hooked to it to do this root?

Thread moved to General.
Just read their tweet gobto their website and download their program(if u go read their tweet it will direct u to their website and download the easy root for your OS) make sure that there are no programs interfering with your usb port.) Good luck its really easy.

I was in the middle of unrevoked 3 and it said on on my computer waiting for hboot. I also couldn't find the hboot option on my phone recovery menus. What should I do ?

4G Speeds in EVO Still Available Under Unrevoked3?
Does the root that's provided through Unrevoked3 impact the 4G connectivity on the Evo? I know that was an issue with other root methods.
Also, is there a way to safely revert back to a 'stock' build (i.e., non-root) in case there are unforeseen issues with Unrevoked3? Thanks, folks!
Wifi Tether
I just used the Unrevoked3 root/reflash it worked great! 30 seconds had the phone done!..I did a nandroid backup and downloaded Titanium Backup, Titanium works great also! now, I download Wireless Tether from the market, installed and ran the app, it asked for su permission and was granted, the app was running, I turned wifi "on" on the laptop and it found AndroidTether ssid, i connected, all I get is a full signal with an yellow exclamation, no internet access! what am I doing wrong? I am using windows 7 Ultimate version.
You need a different kernel to run the app "wifi tether". You can get a custom kernel by downloading a rom like Sky Raider.
Got it working..., thank you!

Can't get Unrevoked 3 to work
I get beyond installing the driver and I get to a recovery screen but....an Adobe Flash window pops up on the computer indicating the script is running slow do I want to stop and I say no. About this time, Unrevoked shoots a message that it has stopped communicating with the phone and I should start over.
Although this is a great method, it would be great if someone would list the steps that this process is using so that maybe from where I lost communications, I can just finish. Or tell me what to do to get the Flash error message to stop coming up.
Thanks for any help!
okay im having problems unlocking sgs on ugjk4 on sgs unlock app i get sorry no code found unknown error ??
that app no longer (or is having a hard time working) with FROYO firmwares. I used it to unlock mine when I was still in Eclair.
Maybe you should revert to a stock Eclair? Anyways, once you have the unlock and freeze code, make sure you write it down and save it in your PC.
Note: When I flashed to Froyo using Odin, network locked re-appeared and I needed to punch in the exact code I got when I was in Eclair. Now, It's totally unlocked. No more unlock code after that initial flash to Froyo.
Wish you luck!
okay new too this please understand i think got what u mean but how would i revert back to eclair never did this!!! so basically your saying be more easy to go back eclair then root it then SGS unlock will work then write code paper update back to froyo and unlock would work still.....is this correct ??
update
i think figured out why get error code silly me forgot put sim!!! okay now what Sim must be inserted SGS unlock app (original Sim that phone locked to) or any Sim will do sorry i am new to this was i phone user for while

With or without sim, you should be able to get the code since the code itself is for the phone and is embedded in the phone.

hmmm....then 2.2 sgs app doesnt work??any other ideas i dont wann downgrade just 2 unlock???
It's not a permanent downgrade. Flash back to eclair, unlock your phone, write down the unlock code and freeze code then flash back to froyo.
Don't forget to back up your EFS folder to your SD card and laptop.

[Q] SuperOneClick vs OCLF
Hey Guys, I have the i9000m through Bell Mobility, and today I rooted it using SuperOneClick. It ran and said completed successfully, and installed a SuperUser app on my phone.
What is the difference between this and the OCLF? Does SuperOneClick include some sort of "lag fix"? Is one method superior to the other?
Cheers!
OCLF does lagfix your phone, yes. However, it is outdated. I would recommend you to try z4root and z4mod.
I've heard about Z4 from a few friends, couldn't find it on the Market so I went with SuperOneClick. Thank you for the suggestion - I will probably try this one if I need to do it again.
I've also learned that most third party ROM's include LagFixes in their Kernel, eliminating the need for them in the rooting process.
Are there any real differences in the rooting apps?
What is your end-goal?
End goal, to educate myself on a few fronts of Android phones. I'd like to have enough knowledge to root, and install new ROM's (which I can confidently do). I'd also like to have a good understand of reverting to factory ROM and settings (if you could point me a to a descriptive thread on this it would be much appreciated!).
Just wondering if one rooting method is superior to the others
Hello, can anyone of you help me please? I see someone mentioned z4root. Now this is my problem:
I downloaded z4root, ran it and it seems like it started but after few seconds my phone just vibrated and then it turned me to my home screen, which means i wasnt able to root.
Could anyone be so kind and help me out with it?
My firmware version is 2.2.
Thanks in advance
Sorry - haven't tried it myself. But, you can use SuperOneClick if you like with a simple instructional video

[Q] is superoneclick safe to root?
Hi, I want to root my froyo JPO with Superoneclick in order to install lagfix,
but the main problem is my 3 combo buttons not working..
Is it safe to do so?
I would work on getting your 3 button combo working before attempting any type of modifications. On the odd chance something goes wrong you need that to enter recovery mode or download mode. I believe there are a few faqs on it around the site.
As for super one click, I've used it several times flawlessly

Agreed. There's a reason the 3-button fix is a pinned post in every i9000 forum. Fix that BEFORE doing anything.
WRT superoneclick, I've also never had any problems with it although your mileage may vary. Note that there are easier rooting solutions available although none appear to support as many firmware versions as superoneclick.
superoneclick android drivers?
Hello, i plan to use superoneclick to root my galaxy s phone. I went to superoneclick site and it said "You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed". Now i have installed kies drivers, is that enough or do i need to install other drivers? Also, i have adb installed.
someone please reply...
Hi there,
I picked up my Nexus S a couple of days ago and i'm totally loving the device. My only problem is connecting to T-Mobile's 3G network, I can only connect for 4-5 mins before it switches back to Edge, which is terribly slow. I've read that this has been an issue for some people and I tried to remove the sim card, change the APN Settings but nothing seems to help.
I read something about updating to newer radio but I'm not sure how to do that, any help would be appreciated !
All the best,
Gianpy

Go into your settings menu>About Phone and tell us your baseband version please.
I should note that I've not really heard of this happening before and to me it sounds like you're just not in a 3G area.

You are right now on 2.3.2 Stock without root right?
-So, first step is rooting your phone. You can do it without oem unlock and not losing all your archives. But I did this and I just copied all files again(Yes, it's boring to wait all the time transfering archives but it's better).
- Now you have to flash Clockworkmod (It's the same topic, showing how to do it).
- Then flash through CWM (ClockWorkMod) the update. GRH78 is 2.3.1, GRH78C is 2.3.2, GRI40 is 2.3.3. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967953
Any douts?
This should solve a lot of issues that you have now.

Well, I just pulled a coverage map of the strip and it seems that there are spots of worse coverage so it all depends on where you are. Nonetheless, I will help you update your radio or even update to 2.3.3 altogether as long as you're willing to root your phone and flash a rom (you can use download and use the update that Google pushes out but a lot of people have problems with it so I think its just easier to root, flash the rom, then just not root again once you have the new ROM). If you want me to help you do this, just say so and tell me if you have a mac or a PC.

The method he linked only works for builds prior to 2.3.3 which is a category you fall into. That guide is quite nice and works very well but it will not unlock your bootloader, which means your SDcard partition for your files and music and pictures etc won't be wiped. If you intend to stay rooted, I don't suggest using that guide but instead using the one I wrote here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970237
Now before you do either, tell me if you want to unlock your bootloader (if you plan to stay rooted after doing the updated) or want to leave it locked (if you plan to remove root after updating).

Whichever is easier to be honest and requires less steps, you tell me haha. I don't mind either option.
Or you could just wait for the official 2.3.3 OTA if you don't want to root. Might get it quicker if you do a checkin request. Simply dial *#*#checkin#*#*

lol the difference between the two is literally two command. if you unlock the bootloader you add one command (fastboot oem unlock) and you use the command "fastboot boot" for the locked method where as you use fastboot flash for the unlocked. After that the two are exactly the same so if you want to stay rooted after updating (so you can use apps like AdFree, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, etc or want to install custom roms) you should unlock your bootloader.
To be completely frank, if you don't mind unlocking the bootloader I've had some people have trouble with the command "fastboot boot" which is why I changed my guide to use "fastboot flash". What I'm saying is I recommend using my guide, which again you can find at the link below. Remember though, before you go through any of the steps copy the contents of your SD card to your computer. Actually that is a step I should really add lol

No problem man, if you have any questions at all let me know.
Also, here is the link to the full ROM for 2.3.3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967953
Now I'm not 100% sure if this will update your radio but it will give you the newest update. I'm currently trying to check on that so you can get everything done at once (if it doesn't do the radio there is another file you can install right after installing the ROM that will update your radio. That way you'll be 100% up to date)
EDIT: Yes, it does contain the radio, so that will put you 100% on 2.3.3 with the updated radio.
Do you have any questions?

Ok people, this is not my first post, although it says it is. I used to be on here and a few other sites as ldawg214. I've done some things but alas I quit for awhile and can't remember my old password (so if any mods can help me there that would be cool.) But the reason for this post is that I'm trying to get a custom rom on my mytouch 4g with 2.3.4 Gingerbread. I know I need to downgrade to froyo using adb but the files fre3vo and misc_version_01 are just blank data files. I don't know if they are supposed to be like that but everything I've searched for on this is at least 3 years old. I've gone ahead and tried adb but it always just tells me the the file or directory doesn't exist. Does anyone know if this method still works?
