Are u on 2.1 or 2.2?
sent from my Epic 4G

Wireless tether works with the dk28 froyo stock rom (once rooted obviously)
*OFFICIAL* SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar.md5
rooted with One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! v2.5.5 Now has ClockworkMod Redirector!
then downloaded wireless tether from the market

im on 2.1 rooted already with that one click root, I am a little afraid to flash a custom rom because my phone never boots to the Clockwork recovery form the rom manager I have to manually shut it off then press the buttons to get it going.

To save you from the 3 finger salute to get to recovery you can always install "Quick Boot" (it's free) from the market so you can reboot directly into recovery.
Alternatively if you want to do it the longest way and have some sort of terminal installed, I like Better Terminal (not free) on the phone you can open that up an type
Code:
su
reboot recovery
Once you type su (super user) it will ask you to allow root privileges, say yes
the $ turns to a # (indicating you are now running in root mode.) then run the command.

So do I even need rom manager to backup and restore my phone?

You can't use a capital letter, everything is case sensitive in linux, use flash_image instead of Flash_image.
Just a noob question
Hi All,
I would really appreciate if someone could give me an explanation on this flashing stuff. Would it be possible?
I have a rooted Desire. I rooted it with unrevoked3. And have the ROM Manager and ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7.
I did several backups of my device using the Power + Volume Down key to boot into HBOOT and then selected the Recovery menuitem. Then the ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 is running. (I already had this ClokcworkMOD after using unrevoke3 I guess it installed the REcovery app.) Here in the Backup and Restore menu I did some backups.
Then I downloaded the the ROM Manager from the Market and after that I ran the ROM Manger and it downloaded the ClockworkMOD Recovery externsion-or-what.
I also did a backup with this ROM Manger but I guess this is the same as the previous ones I did using form HBOOT with the ClockworkMod Recovery.
So now I'm here....
I have downloaded the psfmod image for the Desire.
You wrote that the easiest way is to use the unrevoked3 to flash this image. But what will happen after that? Will the phone will boot using this psfmod image? I guess it won't boot into normal mode.
And after that how can I change anything back?
I really want to try to downgrade my PS3.
Please help...
Thanks in advance!
you want to jailbreak a ps3 with a cell?
I would really recommend going to ps3-hacks.com and reading their tutorials. Basically you will be flashing injection code on your phone as if it was a rom. Honestly I would use a calculator to do it, much simpler process.

Thanks! I will try to find a tutorial there. Maybe I will have luck.

Can I manually install clockworkmod and root?

So I have a macbook pro and I was following the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103 on how to do the one click recovery for mac but I keep getting the error message

So I need to know how to root and install clockwork mod. I do not have access to a windows PC at the moment...
Thanks
You can use z4root from the market to root. Then you can use ROM Manager (market) to install the redirector.
it wasn't on the market, but I found it on google
Will try it
Thanks
You know.... Im not having any luck AT ALL at this stuff
I'm running this app and it just keeps quitting... I already restarted the device and tried again. The process starts, it moves and then the phone vibrates and the app quits without finishing the process....
Arghhh!!!! Im tired trying to root this thing and installing clockworkmod
You can't use rom manger to install cwm.

If you can't get it to work, your best bet is to get your hands on a windows machine and run it from there.
So, can I install the supernova Rom without root and also without the clockworkmod using the standard method down vol, power button, camera button?
What happens if I do this process?

No. If you use standard recovery, you need a properly signed update.zip which you won't find. You need clockworkmod to flash different roms and you need root to install clockworkmod. Once you have cwm, you can use rooted or unrooted roms, but most roms come rooted.
You can't install cwm.on the stock di18 kernel using rom manager.

Sucks man. I need a PC then. Using a mac and z4root is not helping...

Sorry to tell you (again), but you are wrong. If the Epic is rooted, with z4root or otherwise, rom manager can ABSOLUTELY install cwm 2.5.1.0 on ANY stock release. Please stop posting inacurate information on this. Thanks

Any idea why I still have the stock recovery?
For whatever reason the stock kernel will not support rom manager- before the last update there was a modified stock kernel made by koush that supported rom manager. Right now if you want rom manager support you must have a kernel that supports it- the good news is a lot of those kernels have root built it.
As I said before use noobnl one click clock work installer - just start with the "runlast" file- another option is to use the oneclick root/clockwork stickied to the top of the dev forum. After that you can get to clockwork via the three button press and go crazy installing whatever kernel/rom you want
This is a quote from another forum on using rom manager to install cwm on stock. Sorry Leatherneck I just do not see any info that says you can use rom manager to flash cwm.
It is possible to do pretty much all of it with better terminal emulator, especially if you're rooted. I was thinking about doing a write-up on it, but I'm half drunk tonight and about to move tomorrow. It'll be a few days at the least. If you can follow code at all, you can download the one click root and recovery and translate the adb commands in the .bat file into something you can do from a command line.

[Q] gaining root access ..... fails !!

I had a prob & the phone wasn't strating up so I flashed the froyo rooted safe Rom once again after which gaining root access fails.... ?
What cud be the prob ?
One more thing Suppose I flash the stock eclair Rom will I loose the S-off & current hboot ?
Thanks!
I had this too, but with the safe version of the rom you should still have clockworkmod recovery. With it, you can either install the su zip from here:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Or from here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6408470/su-releases/su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
Thanks to user nejc121 (starting from the third instruction).
(The zip installs the su binary and superuser.apk.)
new market keeps force closing !!
New market keeps on FC ...as soon as I open the market
Can this be solved ?
Thanks.
Enable USB debugging, install Android Terminal Emulator or ConnectBot, run su, press allow, do this:

set your phone's language to "English(USA)" or "English(united states)"
then reboot your phone and your new market wont FC again.

Superuser error in CM9/10 on 2nd boot

I've installed 2nd boot on my CM72 and created two additional VFS with the help of Multi Boot Manager (CM9 and CM10).
I'm able to boot into any of them and they work as expected except one thing: there is no way to get Superuser access.
The superuser app is there, it says it is fine but when it tries to update itself it gets a root access error.
Whenever any other app tries to ask for root, their access is denied as well.
The CM72 on Nand works well, root access works as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Bro just flash ur stock ROM and root it with super one click then install any other recovery like I use kousch bootstrap recovery its btr than 2ndinit then try to install CM10

How can I do that?
I started SU in a virtual machine and it found a newer version. I told it to update itself but it was interrupted saying can't get root rights.
Is there any other way to do it?
Thanks
I think you know by now that multiboot is dead in latest CM10 builds...so thats the end of it for some time now!

[Q] Vzw G-Nex running CM10 and su problem

I'm on a Vzw G-Nex and running the CM10 nightlies. the issue I'm having is that some apps like Titanium get superuser privileges and that gets remembered. other apps, like Wireless Tether, it asks me EVERY time I after I launch and then select the start tether and then again when I select stop tether.
I also see a warning when in CW recovery that root appears broken and it offers to fix that but I found out the hard way that this doesn't seem to fix anything and can break things instead...
when the phone was running the stock rom and was just unlocked and rooted, I did not have this issue.
it would seem that I'm partway rooted and partway not? any suggestions/ideas please?

use supersu instead of superuser. heres a flashable in recovery version http://download.chainfire.eu/212/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip
after you flash, open the supersu app, if it says to update your su binaries, press yes. if the problem still persists, update your busybox.
