Custom recovery image for i5800/01?

In the default recovery the only option is restore factory settings by pressing home button.
I can't root the device, because I can't apply update.zip.

When I go into recovery mode on my GT-i5800 I have the option
"apply sdcard:update.zip"
but where do I get the correct update.zip? This is my first smartphone. I have it for only a few days and I don't want to make it unusable. Nevertheless I really need to root it, because it has the wrong time server configured. Unfortunately this causes my GPS not to work at all.
help anyone?

I just successfully rooted my i5800 using the root.zip from the oneclickrooter
referenced by xda-developers thread nr: "742403" (sorry the forum doesn't allow me to post a link)
With applying the right ntp server in /etc/gps.conf, I finally can see some satellites.

I can confirm that one click root for Samsung i9000 works on i5800 too

That's the one I meant

The default i5801 software doesn't allow 'update.zip".

Does this work with android 2.2?

I have 2.2 android. Do I have to root my phone or not for this?

Does not work.
It displays the ad hoc network but does not connect to it.
...Rooted Stock FroYo ROM.
EDIT:
Ok now I can't connect to even normal wifi networks. How the heck do I unflash this thing?

Does work on Gingerbread?

Same here. Tried even to flash the 2.1 Softbank ROM then tried the update. Still message "(bad) Installation aborted"
Switching verification off does not help either.

Ah, now I understand.
Thanks for sharing.

Is it worth unrooting just to get the official 2.2. Anything it does better than any of the custom ROMs out there? I've been on custom ROMs almost since the day I bought it and it runs much better, has better battery life and is way more customizable... i really don't see a reason

I guess it would be for the Japanese keyboard and the MMS with S!mail function and emojii.
But both you can integrate in any custom ROM.

Hmm, I would like to have Japanese keyboard and the MMS with S!mail function and EMOJI in a other ROM then Softbank...
It would be nice if those could be installed as an "APK"

You can get both a Japanese keyboard and the softbank mms app from the market...

It is easy to re-root. Though using the RCmix v 0.7 sense HD ROM I am able to use the S!mail app from the market with no problems

Thanks for your quick replies!! m(_ _)m
If I would install this Softbank ROM, I would probably loose root?
Also does this ROM work with an European simcard (T-mobile NL)

[HOW-TO]Root your VirginMobile(CDMA) One V

I am happy to present to you the guide to root your VirginMobile One V.
REQUIREMENTS
VM One V
Bootloader Unlocked (guide here)
Basic knowledge and good reading skills
So 2 VM One V users had problems rooting their phones and then it was proved that their software was different. So, I modified the kernel ramdisk to include the SuperSU files and other files to help root VM One V
I had to just add few lines of code and transfer a few file here and there.
INSTRUCTIONS:
UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
Download the zip file and extract it to your Desktop or something.
Put your phone into fastboot mode(Vol Down + Power and then with volume buttons scroll to fastboot and press power button)
If on Windows open ---windows.bat file
If on Mac open ---mac.sh
And If on Linux open ---linux.sh
Let it do it's thing
Scroll down with Volume buttons and Reboot
Your phone will now be rooted.
If you have problems with WiFi just reboot and it will be fixed

Get Red and White HTC screen
Hey I tried your process no go for me. I unlocked my bootloader with no errors HBOOT says Unlocked at the top. S-on. I can fastboot flash a custom recovery. I even used yours .img file and flashed it but everytime I boot out of hboot and try to go into recovery. Instead of a custom recovery I get a white HTC screen with red lettering that says that this is used for development use only. I have rooted many phones and fixed gotten out of many jams on phones. This one has me at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.

I was in fastboot when I did it. I followed your directions to the letter. I understand that your .bat file is supposed to install the custom recovery then push supersu.apk and this roots the phone. What I get when I start the process I boot phone into fastboot then plug in USB run the .bat. the cmd window finds the phone it starts the process tries to go into recovery to push supersu it comes up to the white screen with red lettering I will post a picture of the screen if you need it. After 30 seconds or so the phone boot as normal.
So what I did was again boot into fastboot then manually go to cmd. I pushed your .IMG file manually and tried to boot into recovery where I can install supersu from a .zip file. Still no luck there same issue.
I think I will run the latest suu and try to root again.
Let me know if you want the screen shots.

VIrgin CDMA on Reliance CDMA
Thanks dude for this post! Really helped me unlock my HTC ONE V (virgin CDMA) device through your method. I was successful in getting the MEID, MSN and the reliance number registered on this device. Well i am writing this cause now i have a strange problems, and i wish to share with you for your insight and help
1. The calls get cut within 2 Sec of dialing.
2. Even though i am able to send and receive SMS, the device still displays "virgin mobile" in the network operator field.
3. Under network type: it shows CDMA - 1xRTT. I guess this has to be 3G or at least 2G?
Kindly help me to get this fixed would appreciate any form of help.
Thanks

Rooting/unlocking the phone wouldn't cause these problems. Also, isn't it supposed to say Virgin Mobile? After all, it is a Virgin Mobile phone.

Sorry, Updated with a password free ZIP. Thanks for catching that.

Thanks but these drivers are 32bit and won't work with Win64. Here's a link to the Motorola drivers direct from Moto.

rooting
I got my droid razr m two days ago, and I am really interested in rooting it. I have never rooted before, so I know i have a lot to learn. I have read up on superoneclick and cryogenmod, but I cant find the phone listed there. I am assuming that is because its so new. Does anyone have any information that could get me started with rooting my phone?

Nope, need a developer version at this point to have an unlocked bootloader. This is just the drivers from pre-release... the Retail release are nearly identical (Link above). This does however have the flashing app which will come in handy if you don't have a developer login to Moto Mobility.

The bootloader in unlockable for the developer edition as well as the international version. But not for the $99 version.
As for "writable" part, once we have root, you should be able to access your system partition.

Driver Question
compnird - Cool to get straight USB drivers for RAZR M. Have had trouble with MDM on XP. Question - will these drivers apply to XP or just Win 7/8? My old flagship box is still on XP.
TIA,

Dang nobody gonna post the 64 bit drivers ? Can anyone convert the pre-release drivers to x64?

Thanx. Your a life saver!

These don't install on 64bit Windows 10.
Can someone point me in the right direction for the drivers I need? I can't find them anywhere.

Hello All,
I am running into a bizarre situation.
My XT907 has bad usb connector prints and I cannot connect it to computer to flash it using RDS etc.
It is on stock ROM (Not Rooted) and stuck on "Animated EYE"
"Wipe Data/ Factory reset" does not seem to work for me.
Nor It is getting update from the "SD CARD UPDATE"
Is there anyway i can use Update From SD card option (No Root)
I have Tried Many Stock Roms (Almost All Versions) using SD card, it only says
Android System Recovery <3e>
KDA20.62-15.1
--Install /sdcard ...
