Android Rooting is not about installing games or ****...
Is to make our Android phones better in Customization, Performance and alot of 1000 features you can do...

How come I can update android 1.0 driver I installed the Samsung drivers
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I was able to unlock, root using this method and install superuser but none of the recoveries will stick. I have tried TWRP, Clockwork regular and touch and they will work once and then if I try to go back I just get the dead android guy? Is this a 4.0.4 problem?
Edit- I found the solution. I renamed the /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak with root explorer and it fixed it.
I had the same problem and open the one click root script and found this line
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.k-lined.sh
It worked for me.

Hi I've been trying to root my Nexus s from day one with no success is there a better way other than ADB for some reason I have no success on ADB
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Hi there I just rooted last night so I'd be glad to help if I can!
Where are you getting stuck?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
You shouldn't actually be using ADB, you should be using fastboot. First off, are you on a mac or a PC?
Not trying to thread jack but maybe you guys can help me. I'd like to upgrade my phone to 2.3.3, root, and use the voodoo sound and colors. Any help? Thanks.

Superboot is easy but I've never been a fan of how it mods your kernel. If you are on a mac you can use the link to the mac rooting guide in my signature

What do you mean by mod the kernel? Sorry new terminology to me
Does it mean it will replace the stock kernel?

Yes it does. It doesn't do anything noticeable but its just as easy to just root the regular way and there is nothing being modified.

sorry forgot to mention im on 2.3.5 so no z4root will work
Sent from my N860 using xda premium
2.3.5? Which one?
ahhh i think he is using official 2.3 update so he should be gen3 and till have to tpt back to gen2 so hw will get 2.2 and then can root.
I see. Yes, he should revert back to GEN2 and try a ROM based on the 2.3.5 update (Swedish Snow for example).
let me clarify all of it.....i figured someone woulda had a way to root without using a pc....just a app like z4root or androot....but for gingerbread.

It looks awesome, I've been sick of clicking the physical buttons over and over for a LONG time now. I know that there have been touchscreen driver improvements for use with 5.8+ and cm9, but what is the likelihood of us actually getting it? I really hope someone can make it work, I would be very thankful!

The touch screen cwm? Actually well get it once koush is finished. Our cm9 isn't buggy so it should work fine.
Sent from my Samsung Epic using CM9!
Yep it's being worked on. Koush said it was buggy and unreleasable. Though that was like a month and a half ago.
And we can support it after they fixed the touch drivers.
Ballin. Can't wait!

Cant you just flash the recovery zip?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA
And if that don't work flash cm9. With nyan4.2 with it baked in then flash back to cm7 and check to have the recovery reinject itself after flashing the rom... then you will have that recovery on cm7... worked for peoples rom! Just note that flashing another kernel overwrites it unless you remember to inject it after flashing... cwm backups are not compatible with twrp

Honestly I don't know for sure, I can't think of anything that it would bork. Reboot recovery is now linked to the proper partition so that should work fine, I'm gonna flash the AOKP 34 here in a bit and then I'll see if just flashing the recovery zip works.

Correct if I'm wrong but I remember installing adobe flash apk in nexus 7 which has jellybean and working fine.
I see no reason why you can't just sideload a copy of flash. I do it on my jb s3 and it works fine

I side loaded from blapkmarket.com works fine. This is why Android rocks!

As others have mentioned... Flash works just fine. You can get it directly from Adobe.

hi ive just unrooted and re-locked my n7 to watch skygo but its still saying its not supported on rooted devices,anyone else getting this
Are you sure you're unrooted? Check for superuser.apk in /system/app and su in /system/xbin. Delete them if you find them. You will need ADB to do this since you aren't rooted.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
You can still use the apps with superuser installed. Just change the superuser apk to any name then check disable superuser in superuser setting. It should work.
Then re-enable when you require root function.

Yes I had exactly the same issue.....I run multirom now so that I can just boot into a factory clean unrooted rom. It works like a charm!!!! Multirom also shares the kernel from your main internal rom with the factory Rom.........

Just use 'TVCatchup'. It works better. Sky are stupid and don't want to support rooted devices. No idea why, has no effect on them.
CatchupTV is good but skygo contains loads more channels and now there is a sky movies app......Can watch football on sky sports on the nexus while the wife watches The only way is Essex..........phewwwww
