Hi!
I've seen some treads on this topic but couldn't find an answer (a big newbie here )
.
The problem is: I flashed a rom twice (HD revolution) and everything is fine. But now I wanted to flash to 3.0 but the rom manager doesn't work as when I try to flash clockworkmod recovery, the superuser always force closes and that's it
Can anyone help?
I am sotry but I do need more or less a step by step description (as I said a newbie )
J
Any more information to give as im just trying to figure out your next steps.....if you can flash roms you should be good to go.....try using clockword mod to fix permissions and download titanium and install busybox through the problems tab in the app.....
Of course
So, I did a root in January, then put on the Adroid Revolutions2.0.8
after a while I upgraded the 2.0.8 with 2.0.11
+ I changed the radio (again using the step by step receipe on this site) toRadio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2.
The first time flashing the rom and the second time I hade no problems.
The thing is also that I downloaded a program to tell me what my root status is and it says The phone is not rooted?! Is that possible?
I thopught once you root it's rooted for always?
Should I root again?

If your using a custom rom, you already have a custom recovery, just take your battery out, when you put it bk in hold the volume down and power key, at the bootloader menu, choose recovery.

Thanks a bunch
Problem solved.
Can you just tell me the thing about rooting?
Do you have a rooted telephone once you rooted it, forever?

No, once rooted, you will loose root if you flash an unrooted rom, 99.9% of custom roms are rooted though, as long as you have a custom recovery you can always flash another rom.

Uninstall your old rom manager because it doesnt support g2, download the new one, flash clockwork mod-select g2 as your device- wait for it to download and flash he recovery. Btw i would suggest you click fix permissions first before doing any of that

just like others said, make sure you have the latest rom manager (i believe its v2.5.0.7). are you seeing a "G2" option when you click flash clockwork recovery?
clockwork mod for noob
I finaly decide to root my G2( and S-Off ). So I use CyanogenWiki procedure without section about Flashing the Engineering HBoot with is denger and optional.Next I was uninstall no need stock soft (mp3 amazon finance or listen).Today I try to backup everything with clockwork mod.
1. Is the procedure with ROM Manager safe?
2.Do i need to do something else after geting perma root and s-off to install clockwork mod ? (still don't know what for is Engineering HBoot)
3. After instaling clockwork mod or after rooting I will stop geting official updates ?
4. Do i have to buy a prem version of ROM Manager or free market version will do the job ?
5. How to flash clockwork v3 and is there reason to do that ?

Lots of q's
Ok
1.Clockwork mod is very safe
2.No. If you have Perma-rooted your phone you are good to go
3.After installing it you can receive OTA updates if you are using STOCK rom
but its best to not update via OTA at risk of losing root. I was already had
temp root when we got the OTA in US and I had no problem but be warned
4.The free version is fine. But its always good to buy the paid version for added benefits and to help dev out

Sometimes it takes a couple of times before recovery sticks, so if you get the red triangle just reflash the recovery again untill it sticks.

Eng. Hboot is not required to flash a custom rom, but obviously perm-root is. Im guessing you got that quote "Perm Root with hboot-eng.....is needed to flash a custom ROM (still REQUIRED for the moment)" from the CM7 Nightly thread, but there is a way to flash CWM3 without an ENG. Hboot ( it requires terminal emulator) and also the CM7 nightly rom.
Any idea how to install CM7 from stock less risky way then hboot ? How about flashing CM 6 and upgrading to 7 ?

If the HBOOT required comment was for just CWM3, then there are guides already out there (including one stickied in this forum):

Hey all,
My girlfriend lives in Russia and she been having a ton of issues with her phone.
I guided her thru the phone unlocking bootloader and installing a recovery but she refused to continue my lesson over the phone on helping her install a new rom. So we just left it were it was and this was months ago.
I don't think she has super user access and all I really know is she has CWM installed. She has a system update, but when she tries to install it just goes to CWM. I am not sure what is wrong with her phone, but even after a factory reset, it is slow and things get buggy all the time and lately is been getting worse so I wanted to continue this process of installing a new ROM.
My question is how do I make sure she has bootloader really unlocked, s-off and if its rooted.
I want to continue helping her install a rom but without her being here, I am scared to proceed further without asking the community some questions.

Go to bootloader then see the top. If it says unlocked, well it is. But if you have cwm, 99% the bootloader IS unlocked. (Unless you didn't relock it again). To see if she is rooted, go to the app drswr and search for anything like superuser or superSU. Hope this helped

She does have super user or superSU in the app drawer, but when she tries to use an app that requires root. It is not allowed nor does it ask permission in superSU.
Thanks!
If she has CWM recovery installed, ask her to install the SuperSU from here:

Flash the CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip in recovery.

A system update will not proceed with a CWM installed. The OTA update works on a clean Stock ROM only.
There is a new CWM recovery version 6. According to the changelog it should support official OTA update of stock ROM
So she has CWM installed and I wanted to install a new rom, but when I press VOL down + power key it just boots into CWM.
How can I get into fastboot or does this mean I do not have bootloader unlocked?

Hi Guys,
This is my 1st thread to guide you to correct resource rather as many of us have struggled to root the AtT ICS version ROMs.
I was on leaked iCS v18f installed immediately when available, struggled hard to root it.. Tsparky, Doomlord, SuperOneClick, manual root,. No go for more than a couple of months.. Found the Bin4ry root method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Worked in 1st attempt.
Thought it should work on V20c as well,, upgraded to v20c.. rooted in 1st attempt again (no surprise there)
UI is smooth as silk and response is awesome..
Right now Rooted, no-frills CPU, ADW Launcher Ex and Network Selection Tweak by -ReaL-. (as the *#*#4636#*#* code to choose network selection is removed on V20c) THANKS A LOT..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823399
My Phone is a like a ripe cherry for the 1st time and I am jus loving it...
Thanks to all the mods and developers..
NOTE: Confirmed working on both ICS versions V18f and v20C, single attempts, though doesnt work on Gingerbread as explained in the linked post.
Doesnt work
I tried the method provided, and i followed the instructions and no luck for me with my LG nitro, with stock ICS on it
Device detection
Make sure USB Debugging under "Development section" and Unknown Sources under "Security" are selected.
Launch the "command prompt" as Administrator. Make sure it lists your mobile phone when you run the command "stuff\adb devices" U r good to go..
If it doesn't, then the drivers are not installed properly, check in Device Manager there are no unknown devices or devices with yellow exclamation marks etc.. Make sure drivers are installed properly. The above condition should be met to root your device.
Please go through the video tutorial in the link attached for Bin4ary root method
Attn Mods
Hi MODs,
If you think this should not be as a separate thread, please merge this with any existing thread about rooting P930 with AT&T ICS
Thanks..
Works like a charm
Many thanks, it took me 5 minutes to download and root my nitro(official ICS).
I recommend making this thread as sticky thread for rooting.
It works but you don't have full root, SU and CWM can be install but when I attempt to boot into recovery, I get the boot certification error. Damn LG for subscribing to the Secure Boot fad, started by Micro$oft. I have the LG MultFlash Tool, where can I download a Stock AT&T Gingerbread firmware?
Check in one of the various unbricking threads there you will find all the files and instructions required. Good luck

Anyone else get the same result on V20C, after rooting and flashing CWM cannot reboot into Recovery Mode? It just boots into Fastboot because of boot certificate error. Anyone have an ADB solution that can work in Fastboot?

Unbrick to flash CWM... only way coming from V20C. If there was a simpler way it would have probably been posted, but there's not.
CWM wont work on ICS for now

Yes, u r right,, CWM does not run on ICS, either V18f, V20(X) versions.. it would cause issues if u try CWM on ICS.. hence we have so many guides to go back to Stock GB, install CWM and install Custom ROMs, kernels etc
The thread is to get instructions to root your ICS P930.. so that we could install applications that need Root access...
Ok thanks, was attempting to just use LG Flash Tool to flash Gingerbread rom but the DLL that I have is for UPGRADE. I need a DLL to allow Downgrade, Looks like I have days of aggravation ahead to get CM10 on my Nitro.
Finally got unbricked and rooted. Now on to CM10 Thanks to everyone!

once I got 10F.KDZ flashed, I ran SuperOneClick 2.3.2 to get root (make sure USB Debugging and Unknown Sources are checked and also make sure your computer has Microsoft's .NET 3.5 installed, I ran into a problem getting SuperOneClick to run without it) once rooted, I was able to side load an updated GooglePlay.apk, then downloaded ROM Manager, rebooted into recovery. I did discover that the current recovery cannot see SDCards larger than 2 Gigs, because it could not detect my 16 Gig card. So I used a 1 GIg card with CyanogenMod 10.0.0-P930.zip, did a wipe of all the partitions and Dalvik Cache. then installed CM10. After CM10 installed I flashed the AT&T baseband back into the phone using ADB. My Nitro looks awesome now. Had to download the latest gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and flashed with ROM Manager. One last thing once CWM Recovery is flashed to your phone, to get into it manually, simply hold the volume down + power until you see the screen asking you if you want to factory reset, click the power button confirming, instead of hard reset it will load CWM Recovery.:good:

And the post that I quoted mentioned having boot problems when trying to flash ClockWorkMod AFTER rooting...
Information First:
Phone: Sony Xperia S
Model number: LT26i
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version(last 9 digits): 314010-22
Build number: 6.1.A.2.45
Rooting status: Bootloader unlocked: Yes
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
So, yesterday I rooted my phone and today unlocked the bootloader. Booting my phone into recovery mode (CWM) I have made a backup (nandroid?) and copied this to my Windows PC as well as keeping it on the phones internal storage.
1. I have downloaded XZXperience2 rom and moved the zip file to my phones internal storage, and would like to flash the phone to use this rom.
I am a little confused as to what I should do next. Do I need to install a non-stock kernel for this rom to work? Would it be better anyway to install custom kernel or is stock kernel ok? I am not sure what this changes and if it is better to change from stock?
2. Is it safe/easy to restore back to original stock ICS Xperia rom should anything bad happen?
A few years ago I put custom roms on my Xperia X8 but all I ever did was root the phone and flash the rom (GingerDX), I did nothing else. Now with this Xperia S it seems I need to do a bit more. So I am just looking for some advice and tips, I am more worried should anything happen that I don't know how to restore the phone to its original state.
1. You can keep stock if you want. I'd recommend installing ELITE v2 or SSpeed v8 for best performance, though.
2. Nothing bad should happen if you do it right (which I guess you will).
Went ahead and flashed with stock rom in CWM recovery menu (wiped data and cache first).
Phone just booted with what looks like JellyBean
Better then waiting for official Xperia S updates

Great thanks for the reply. See my last post I flashed XZXperience
I will look at Elite or SSpped kernel, I also read about one called Nova? I am not sure how to install kernel so I will need to read about this, would it require flashing rom again or is kernel separate?

Thanks for clearing that up, not sure what AOSP Roms are but I will look at the other kernel ones you mentioned earlier.
On a side note..
1. Now that I have this custom JB rom I noticed it has a strip at the bottom of the screen (back and home buttons etc). For example on the home screen, this bar shows under the launcher icons. As you know the Xperia S already has these buttons where the white led strip is, so this bar that is on the JB rom is rather not needed and taking up screen space.
How to remove this? I saw in Settings under XZXperience an option for Navigation Bar but I am not sure if this is it or not, nothing happened when I tried changing it.
2. Finally, my phone was rooted before flashing the custom rom, will it still be rooted now? I don't see SuperUser but instead I have SuperSU, when I try to run it asks to update / install binary files or something but fails.
Thanks again.

First: this is an ICS ROM with JB looking...
1. Settings > Navigation Bar > Press to Disable Navigation Bar
It will ask for root rights. Grant it.
Reboot.
2. The easiest way to check if you have root access is to launch Titanium Backup.
If you can't grant root rights, then your device might not rooted.
Root you device with Root method for .55 firmware OR flash a custom kernel.

I tried that and it never asks for permissions so I am guessing phone is not rooted anymore, but I will try Titanium Backup. Having said that I tried Root Explorer so it must be rooted but the disable Navigation Bar option is not working (even tried restarting phone) - no permission box ever shows.

SuperSU is a replacement. It is way better, IMO. And look for the Root fix in XZX thread. Flash it in kernel and you're good.

Yes, it will work.
For flashing, before all, make sure you have everything backed up, drivers (fastboot, flash mode) are working, that there isn't rain coming and the battery is good (50% should do).
For flashing it, check this tutorial. It is really noob friendly, but is made for HTC phones, so the 2 first steps are useless for us. Just follow steps 3, 4 and 5 and you should be good.

No worries, Since you're worried regarding your root access. All Roms that you see here are custom ROMs and comes with Prerooted so don't afraid of flashing it.
Just to be safe side, Install latest recovery either CWM or 4ext and backup your Stock or any custom ROM you're on.
Flash Any ROM made for Desire HD. But be aware that if you're S-ON then flash Boot.IMG before or after complete flashing your ROM via HBoot in order to get proper connectivity and your ROM to work properly. If you're S-Off already then no need to flash boot.img since system will take care of it.
Even then you're worried regarding how to flash then type in YouTube for How to flash custom Ron for Desire HD. So that you'll get exact idea about it.
Very important: Make sure your radio and hboot is latest. Or you should running last official update from HTC which is gingerbread 2.3.5 Otherwise you need to upgrade that first prior to flash any custom ROM from any source.
Get on 4.4.3 its latest yet stable.
thank you dr.patron99 am following your instructions and reporting a brief of what ive done so i can get your guidance on how to continue
step 1: made full backup of my phone
step 2: Ive updated my rom manager to v5.5.3.7 and flashed latest recovery available which is clockworkmod 5.0.2.0
step 3: ive run full rom backup once more just to be on safe side (through rom manager) and checked if backup has been created then i transferred backup to my pc and to a thumb drive.
step 4: ive checked to see my S-condition and am on S-OFF so i guess i wont need to flash Boot.IMG right?
step 5: am not sure how to check which one is it or even upgrade radio and hboot to its latest, does country/network operator plays a role here? if yes i live in CY (cyprus) which is a European country and am under 2 network operators CYTA and MTN.
