[Q] New DX rooting help

Hi,
i just picked up a new DX and i want to root it. Ive been reviewing a bunch of threads to get info on how to do it, there are plenty available but im not quite sure since info seem to vary from thread to thread.
I found a thread that may work using One Click Root but i dont see the DX as a supported device.
I found another thread that says their method will work on 2.2.19.A955 AND 2.2.20.A955 but when i look at my device i show System Vers:2.3.15 mb810
Android version 2.2
Im familar with the rooting process, I have an Eris that i rooted and installed many different roms so im not a complete noob.
Saying that, I used up a bunch of points with my wife to get this phone so i want to make sure i dont screw it up.
Can anyone provide any insight on if the above will work or if not do you have a link that you found helpful?
Bah... cant link to the threads mentioned above

This is the method I've used many times. If your comfortable with adb.http://destdroid.com/showthread.php?11-Droid-X-2.2-Root-Manual-Method

[Q] Stock Software for Evo

HI
Can someone please point me in the direction of a location where I can download the stock flash for my Evo? I have a Hardware Version 3 currently with software 3.30.651.3. I tried to get root via Unrevoked (should have read more). While it didn't hose my phone (everything still works) I don't have a recovery anymore so I wanted to flash it back (without going to a Sprint store). I just have not been able to find the link on the Sprint site for the software...
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry my 1st post is a request for help. Been enjoying reading and learning about my new phone (came over from a Moment

Check in the development section for the RUU program. It should be in the first few pages.

[Q] After upgrading to 2.2, I had problems with the rooting.

Hey guys,
I'm a new user here but I've been reading allot in the past 1 and 1/2 since when I got my first Android which was a HTC Wildfire.
I never had major problems regarding upgrade and rooting procedures but now I have a weird one.
After upgrading my Galaxy 3 (I5800) to FroYo, I've downloaded the Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root program intending to root my phone.
Once I run the software, it gives me a a popup error message that says:
The application failed to initialize properly (0x000007b). Click on OK to terminate the application.
As anyone else here would do, I went straight to google and search for the message itself and also for the error code. With no luck, I couldn't find anything reasonable to fix it.
Note that this message happens of Windows XP SP3 and also on my Windows 7 Ultimate.
I'm just running out of ideas guys.
Have anyone here seen this error or heard about it? I search here on the forum for that code and there's nothing matching at this point.
I would appreciate if anyone here can help me.
I can take a screenshot if needed.
Cheers
Fred Kaiser

I'm not on a computer, but I believe you downloaded the wrong one.

Did you download from the Galaxy 3 Development section?

Those are the steps I've followed in the link bellow. I couldn't find the z4root on the market and if I download it from the internet, I suppose I need the phone rooted in order to install the app, or not?

I had same problem
One click and z4 don't seem to work for 5800 froyo
Use super one click.
it worked for me

good stuff... this Super One-Click worked pretty sweet... it says that my phone is rooted and the SU test passed. I guess I can start having fun with my phone now!!! hehehe
thanks guys +1 for both of you!
cheers

I'm a total noob and need some help!!

I completely new to the whole flashing and custom rom thing. I've never tried anything like it and don't know much about it. The closest I've come to hacking or rooting my Vibrant phone is with the OCLF app. Now, I too have been patiently waiting for Froyo to come out and for some reason when it did come out I was hesitant to get it. I wanted to see what people were saying about it before I downloaded and installed it. So far from what I'm seeing, its not all its cracked up to be and it seems like Froyo for the Vibrant is "meh" for most. This is a bummer to me but I kept hearing about using a custom and its advantages. Thankfully I bumped into a very useful thread posted by xriderx66 on his reviews on some of the roms out now. Based on what he said, I'm looking to flashing my phone to the Bionix-V Rom by Team Whiskey. Problem is I have no idea how to get started. What do I need to do to flash my phone? Any program I need to download first? How do I backup my files? I'm such a noob at this its funny but I'm willing to take the risk and experience this phone the way it should be experienced. If someone can post a link showing a step by step on how to do the whole thing I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

Go to the development thread and browse through the stickies. Reading and more reading should be the first two things you do. Pay attention to anything relating to odin.

Your welcome. Let me know if you run into any issues.

That thread he posted for you is the best information I have been able to find for someone that is just getting started. I too am just kinda dancing around flashing bionix v. I have rooted and downloaded rom manager and clockwork though...just about ready to flash as soon as I gather up the courage. But everything I have done up to this point was learned in the Noob Guide he linked. Its like vibrant flashing for dummies.

Will do jbat! Once again thanks. @ goodvibrant, I hear you. Tomorrow when I have the time I will flash this phone to the Bionix thanks to this noob guide. I took a look at the guide and it seems pretty easy to follow. I look forward to it!

Sure thing man. No problem. Ive received help and try to give it when I can. I figure if I can help with the easier questions then the guys that know a hell of a lot more than I do, can focus on the advanced questions. Everyone is here to learn.

You can. I had to switch my dhd recently due to hardware issues. They gave me back a gb dhd which was rooted again by me at the first evening. Follow the instructions and you can manage it!

Time ago I upgrade too by mistake to '2.3.37' and this thread had the solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233
Be carefull in goldcard step when copying the serial from phone to post in the revSkill page. Took me two attempts to create correctly the goldcard to execute the downgrade.

i could do with pointing in the right direction
i have a dhd - unbranded
android 2.3.3
sense 2.1
build 2.50.405.2
i have read through the downgrading instructions i have found and downloaded the files but can't get it to work
when i run adb it doesn't even find my dhd!
any advice would be appreciated

maybe you forgot to turn usb debuging? or set to carge only ? or put all files to downgrade folder? try doing everything the tutorial says, cuz i had no problems when downgrading my DHD. Good luck
