Ok Ive been a long time iphone owner since they came out and ive never owned an android product. Im tired of the crappy service I get with att anywhere outside of large cities and the iphone in general so me and my wife are switching over to verizon. We both ordered the droid x two days ago and somehow we are getting them tomarrow despite the aug 4th ship date that they said. The more I review about android OS and the droid x the more I think I will love it compared to the iphone. My question is which meathod of rooting should I take. Ive never rooted before of course so should I use the one click method or the list of instructions method. Im real tech savvy so if the list instructions way to root it is the best im comfortable with that. My next questions is on updates. Do i need to have the phone unrooted everytime that I preform an update or is that unnessisary? Also if I delete or rename some basic bloat ware do I need to make sure it is all back the same before I update? Thanks for any help and I look forward to be on the droid side
Ok i have my phone. Any answers to my post? Is this the wrong site to be asking this?

I rooted mine using better terminal emulator right on my phone. Took all of 15 mins maybe. I've never done the one click thing but have heard great things about it. I guess its really what you're comfortable with. Just make sure you take your time and don't miss any steps!
Good luck & welcome to DROID!

Thanks for your reply. If i root now will it conflict with future updates?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
It shouldn't. At least it hasn't yet. Just be careful with what bloat you delete. Make sure you keep anything that is blur related and verizons backup assistant. Its been said you will brick if you delete any of those.

I've rooted several phones and the one click was so easy. Once I extracted the files & installed the drivers it took less than a minute.

+1 for the one-click method!! it worked flawlessly!
I know this is another GalaxyS device, but it seems that there really isnt any interest for it in the community. Does the ticker screen cause enough compatibility issues that we most likely wont see Cyanogen or anything for it? What about support from Samsung, are we likely to fall behind the curve for 2.2 release?
Iv had it for a few days and I love the formfactor, but Im considering swapping it for a fascinate for the modability. Any opinions?
There is currently no support from the developer community, but all it takes is one good dev and we'll be in business. There's really no way of knowing if 2.2 will lag behind, since no US Galaxy S phones have gotten the update yet... Only time will tell on both I'm afraid.

Samsung has began releasing the 2.2 update in certain countries from what I've read. So it should only be a matter of time before the USA gets it. The update will come via Kies I believe (Samsung's update software for PC).
As for custom ROMs for the Continuum, I believe development may be slow for this phone due to the ticker display. The ticker makes it more difficult to develop for. However, I'm confident we'll get some custom ROMs at some point. I'd be really nice if Samsung skipped 2.2 and went straight to 2.3 but that'll never happen.

One of the first things we are going to need is a custom recovery to be able to backup/restore the phone. I suspect this will take someone loaning their phone to koush in order to get clockwork recovery and rom manager support. I know I am leery to try anything without having a way to restore, even if I have to restore to default.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Yeah a stock ROM would be excellent. There will be plenty of people who delete necessary apps with root access even before custom ROMs are available.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Well we're gonna need a custom recovery first, so that is one of the bigger issues.
Sent Koush a tweet asking what he would need and offered my phone for a period of time. I still have my D1 I can use.

Duddy are you a developer?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Glad to see the Continuum Forum up and running! I know very little about development and such, but I'm open to testing out things. I'll be following the threads here as much as possible.
I was thrilled with the idea of this phone when it was released, but the limits on the ticker make it nearly unusable (no gmail? and Samsung's e-mail app is horrible).
I was thinking about returning it, but with the new found forum here on XDA, my hope is renewed.
Ok so, I've given it the mmost time I was willing not to say anything, but Can we please get an update or 2? PLEASE!!!!!! It's killling me!!!!!!

Let's not get ungrateful or we'll never get any devs in here...
A friend of mine wrote an iphone app and is trying to get it over to android but doesn't know anything about java and I'm not fluent so I thought I'd see if anyone would be able to help out with getting this thing to android. Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure either, but I thought I'd say atreyu is amazing, one of my favs. And I guess it would really depend on what kind of app and what iit did for people to really wanna port it
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
I'm not that fluent either but maybe if you gave us more info on the app. I can check it out on my brothers iPhone. Maybe we can try to figure it out, if its original enough.

I know there are a lot of anxious people out there like myself who are stuck without root and S-ON. I have been setting up my SDK and the kitchen over the last few weeks ( I have kids ). If you want to get involved, here is a quick reference to what I have found recently. What I miss most *now* about not having root is the ability to test my own ROMs on my own EVO.

Great post I'm in......
I don't get all the fuss. Taking an OTA update loses root. No secret there. Were a bunch of people so interested in the official GB that they didn't want a day for a rooted rom?
There are those who lost root due to receiving replacement phones and there are those that are new to the evo and received their phone loaded with the update.

I totally agree. I know that fits my situation. My phone should be out on the truck for delivery today. Got my fingers and toes crossed it has an older build on it.
Regarding this post though. Very good idea and I really hope some people that can get this done chime in. Root is desperately needed back to the Evo.
Forgot to mention that when you register as an Android developer in the market, you become eligible to order a fully unlocked phone; Nexus One and HTC dev phone 2.
More ideas? Suggestions please...

As it stands......no, too many differences between the devices, however it may lead down the right path to unlocking the OG Evo. Believe me, I'm following it (I have a 3D & my wife just got a refurb warranty OG Evo with the update).

Was wondering if any dev has tried to work this issue from the hardware side. Instead of using C++ or Visual or other languages, trying this thru Assembler language. I am a computer programmer but I have not done any work with HTC phones because of job, but I do have some ideas that I would love to share if anyone is interested.

Mine was an insurance replacement. I had a rooted EVO happily running Deck's and Tiamat up until late last week.

I'm interested. Please feel free to post or PM me with your thoughts. But, I have to imagine the OS still maintains some degree of control (if it's even possible to compile and execute assembly programs in Android). I'm afraid there's probably a reason no one else has done that . Thanks!
Had my mytouch 4g for like 3 weeks now, rooted the first day i got it and tired a whole lot of roms soon to find out i had the bad emmc chip AND bad screen fml. So now i don't want risk my phone on getting bricked or anything. I rooted my MT4g using the form "TRUE PermaRoot and the ULTIMATE S=Off!!!" now i figured out how to unroot by using the form "Automated way to unroot your myTouch 4G (difficulty level 1)" but my question is it safe to use this after flashing "TMOUS MT4G 2.3.4 ROOTED with new radio" I still want to have the new ota update but unrooted with s-on? any suggestions on how? PLEZ and Thank you for your time

Did you read the thread till it says "Procedure to revert"?
And remember - once you unroot and S-ON back, you can't root again unless you downgrade and wipe everything.
Yea but i also want to have the new update and I'm wondering if there is a way to revert and keep the same update get me? Haha
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Reverting doesn't reflash the ROM, just restores the security flag and removes root.
But there is absolutely no reason to.
The best would be just to run Gfree to restore S-ON, and leave it as is. If the phone is to be bricked - the ROM won't boot anyway, and the bootloader will be S-ON, so there won't be anything suspicious visible on the phone.
Well try this.. but if I do this well I get the manual updates? Or should I just download the offical 2.3.4 pd15img file and put it on the sd card so I can flash on hboot ? I know this loses root (just what I want ) but well it get s-on that why or should I get s-on first like how yoy told me and then do this?? And well this br safe since the radio changed on the rooted version?
sorry for my noobish quesitons.

I want to do this as well, so when you find out pm me cause no one will help me on my post about this. But anyways, i think you have to be on stock radio in order to flash the gingerbread update pd15img.zip file. I'm not for sure, i think i saw it somewhere on these forums.
There is a good reason nobody posts - because all the info has been posted and you have been pointed to it, and most people don't want to post the same thing 15 times again and again. The rooting thread contains the procedure to unroot. You want to unroot? Follow it.

If you're dumb enough not to know, what kind of damage repeating questions cause to the forum - go educate yourself, or make your brain work and answer one simple question - why didn't you get your answers yet? And I guess you're not only dumb, but also blind, since the link is above your post and there are at least 5 threads in Development forum that talk about unrooting, and most probably 2 or 3 of them are in the first pages of the forum.
One would probably look at my status and think that "thanks" didn't arrive from nowhere, and definitely not from "little talk". I guess this is too much to ask, since it assumes the ability to think.
Your attitude is disgusting.
laziness and not enough reading of the forums lead to these types of threads.

I thought forums like these are supposed to help others, not ridicule people and make them look stupid just because they don't read the other 50,000,000 posts about a stupid phone they'll probably only have for a year. I apologize that I have a life and don't have time to do that, but I'd like to thank you guys for your 'help' anyways jerks.

So because we read and understand how to perform an unroot we have no lives?
Ok first of all I would like to thanks you guys for helping trying to answer my question. Technically I got my answer but it's not the answer I'm looking for... pretty much I would like to change my answer a little bit. By my understanding you can't just flash the new gingerbread update 2.3.4 if your rooted and have s-off (unless it's the rooted/detoxed one which I currently have and also I included THE NEW RADIO) you need to be unrooted with s-off right? So what I'm thinking now is I'm just going to unroot my phone using the automated way (for the gfree root) so now my question is it safe to do this with the rom I have? Because I have read forms that once you update to the new ginger bread you cant downgrade? Or that it's just a little more difficult to do right? ( I don't know if has to do anything with the rooted one I have btw) so if I unroot using that method well it root since I'm technically going to downgrade right? Since the unroot process says I have to flash the PD15IMG.zip which I think it would be an older version. So that being said can I just unroot using that method but insted of using the PD15IMG.zip they give you can I used the new gingerbreed PD15IMG.zip file well that work?!?!?!
