Kaos Fryo leak help

First off let me just say I wanted to post this in the thread but it said I haven't met some kind of requirement to post yet.
My question is I have read about rooting etc etc but being that this is my first time I didnt want to screw up so because Kaos's leak is pre rooted do I need to still root my phone or will this do it for me?

No, the ROM is pre-rooted already so you don't need to root once installed.
However, the ROM is installed through Clockwork Recovery, so that means that you need to have ROM Manager and Clockwork Recover Mod installed, which, will require that your phone is rooted..
You can find the threads in this forum that show you how to install all that..
When using ODIN, be sure to use "PDA" and not "Phone".. if you use Phone, you will end up with a paper weight...
Good luck!

You need to root your phone first
will not be able to install

Thanks!!!

How do I root a fascinate when it's on 2.1 update 1?

I believe you can flash CWM via download mode w/ Odin, and then flash the 2.2 leak+kernel with that, so technically you don't need to be rooted to install this, provided you have access to the proper equipment.

SOrry this is a duplication. I asked in another thread but was stepped on by VooDoos and such.
I have a stock rom. It USED to show as DI01. I did figure out how to root it, and just now noticed that it is showing as DH12 (baseband version AND build number), no longer DI01.
So, I need to update it first, before I can install DL30, correct?
I have a DL09.tar.tar file.
I have ODIN3.exe.
I have the DL30-leak.zip.
I have no clue what a CWM is or how to use/install it.
Where can I find the steps to get me to DL30?
Thanks.

Waw. OK. If you are on a plain DH12 with no Clockwork Mod Recovery installed, then you need to do a lot of steps. I'm just going to give you a high level overview and not going into details. You find the details and make sure you understand.
1. Make sure you install USB drivers and that your computer can see your phone when plugged in.
2. Install ODIN in your computer
3. Use ODIN to flash the DL09.tar via PDA! (Very important!)
4. Once you are on DL09. Get the CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913470 and flash with ODIN via PDA. (never on Phone)
5. Get also the update.zip from that thread and put it in the root of your SD card.
6. Then go to Market and get ROM Manager, then install Clockwork Recovery through ROM Manager.
7. Now to install DL30: (look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499)
a. Get the "New" CWM .zip file and put it in your SD card.
b. Put the DL30.zip in your SDCard.
c. Boot into CW Recovery mode from ROM Manager, you should see the Green Clockwork Recovery mode.
d. Apply the new CWM .zip via "choose .zip from SD card"
e. Apply the DL30.zip same way.
f. Wipe data, cache and Devilk cache (in the Advanced menu).
g. Reboot.. and voila !
Lean how to use CWM first (how to navigate, etc).. Good luck!

Nexus S i9020a + CM7

Can someone please direct me to the a step by step guide on how to Root and put CM7 on the Nexus S i9020a variant? Most of the stickies are for the T-mobile version and Its getting to be a bit confusing on which guide to follow. Please help this noobie!!!

use gingerbreak then rom manager it's that simple
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

Quick note once you install CM7 do not use the 2g/3g feature it will break your 3g

Break 3g? as in damage it permanently? Thanks for the link for gingerbreak so basically that will root my nexus s then I can install CM 7 with out any special instructions since it has different radio compared to the tmobile version?

i used gingerbreak then rom manager to install clockwork recovery and CM7. Do some reading the 3g bug for I9020A has been discussed a few times. Just stay away from the 2g/3g toggle and everything will be fine. I don't think it permanently breaks it just is a pain in the A to fix. I have a I9020A and this was the simplest way I've found.

don't we have to flash a clockwork compatible kernel first, before flashing cm7?
Also, doesn't clockwork rom manager fail on sns? I have cwr from the main stickies, but rom manager doesn't see it (it works), and can't download roms, unless cwr from rom manager, which I heard fails.

So I downloaded CM7 7.0.2 - and gapps - flashed in order (nandroid first) and voila! no hastle! This ROM is great!

No, those are the only steps i took

CM7 comes with its own AOSP kernel. Just flash the rom, you'll get the kernel bundled. (Of course you can always use a great kernel from the developers thread) don't forget to flash gapps.

He means don't use the 2g/3g toggle widget as that will cause some problems, it hasn't been fixed yet. If you do want to change it though, do it manually through the settings.

I tried using gingerbreak on my i9020a but it runs for longer than 15 mins so I guess it doesn't work. What are my other options for rooting?
edit: I guess it's because I installed 2.3.6.. is it possible to downgrade easily?

Follow one of the root guides, all you really need to do is unlock the bootloader and install Clockwork Recovery.
Once that is done, download the zip for cm7 and use CWM to flash it.

Exactly the steps I took. Took all of 10 minutes
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Install .zip from SD
Select CM7

Agreed, but it's a matter of getting the correct CWM image for our phones. Also, for people who are setting up their phones for the first time, the drivers needed for fastboot need to be installed, fastboot/SDK needs to be downloaded etc...
Hence why i referenced the rooting guides.

Yep, it's just the color you want your recovery to be. I flashed the cyan a couple of days ago for somebody else and no issues.. typical clockwork recovery

So I flashed the recovery file, but when I boot into recovery now, there's just the triangle with the ! in it and nothing happens.. did I do something wrong?
edit: reflashed it and it works

How did you flash it? That's the stock recovery.. should be 'fastboot flash recovery nameof.img' without quotes obviously.

Flash clockworkmod recovery

Thanks for helping you 2!

is any kind of rooting fine or do i HAVE to use to root method(link) that you provided me?

there are 2 main popular methods for rooting, the gfree method, which is what he posted, and the root.sh method, which is what i used below. i dont know which is better/worse but i found the root.sh method to be a little easier
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858021

Yes definitely try the root.sh method first, if that doesn't work try the gfree method...just make sure u read up on adb first.

Step one ) First thing you need to do is read, study and understand 100% what rooting ones phone truly is and how it's done. And what can happen if you are not careful.
Step Two ) repeat step one
Step Three ) See Step One
Step Four ) get ADB up and running ( see my signature )
Step Five ) See Step one
Step Six ) decide if you want to risk it [ see This Thread ]
Step Seven ) Root your phone (see my signature )
Step eight ) make sure you have the engineering screen installed along with rooting the phone
step nine ) install the recovery image via hBoot
Step ten ) download > wipe > flash the ROM.

Thanks for all your help. Im installing it now and it seems to going fine. Thanks :d:ddd:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d

You will get much better description in the first post in the specific ROM's thread than by a random guy in this thread. Choose a ROM with a guide that you understand for your first ROM-flashing.

No I will not guide you since I haven't flashed any ROM on SGS2 yet (I've rooted though), it would be irresponsible by me.
But Cognition ROM has a simple straight forward description, if you don't get it then you need to search/ask specifically for the things you don't get.

If you can't understand these simple instructions, you shouldn't be flashing custom ROMs.

yes, or use ODIN to do that from your computer

Copy your downloaded Rom onto your SD card.
Switch off your phone.
Hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons at the same time until you reach the CWM screen (as seen in the link above, )
Select Wipe Date/Factory Reset then Wipe Cache then Install Zip from SD card.
Then Reboot and wait for the Rom to load.

Simple Flashing procedure?

I'm used to Samsung Rooting/Flashingm but i'm new to MOTO.
i read the beginners guide, and i'm still unclear as to the exact procedure to flashing a ROM.
I'm trying to Root and Flash MSGinger 2.1 to a TMO Defy with a Red Lens. It's currently unrooted/stock, running 2.2.1.
I'm just unsure about if/when i need to use RSDlite to flash an SBF.
if someone could just give me a numbered sequence as to the exact steps, i'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

So just to make sure....
From stock 2.2.1
1. flash the fixed sbf....reboot
2. Root using superoneclick
3. Reboot and install 2ndinit
4. Reboot into recovery
5. Install with cwm using advanced restore method
That right?
Thanks again!
