i have rooted my G2 before, however, i broke it n had to get a new one. didnt have any issues at all. but now, with my new G2, when i am attempting to perm root it, instead of getting the error that says (function not implemented), i am gettin an error that says (exec format error).
i have no idea what the reason is as i am doing everything exactly the same and using the same sd card and root files from the first G2.
anyone kno what may be wrong?

Did the Simple Root program run with no errors? I don't know exactly how or even if it reports any problems, but I really recommend rooting manually using toastcfh's or TheBiles' guides. Obviously there is a problem with your root access somewhere.
Can someone help me install CM6 on my new rooted 2.2 evo.
I keep getting that hboot error on status 7.
I read that u have to change the hboot from 76 to 79, something like that.
Can anyone tell me what to do next??..what instructions do i have to follow, if anyone can write it step by step, i would greatly appreciate it...thanks
That root method uses Unrevoked which doesn't unlock Nand. You'll need to use toast's part 2 or Simple Root to get Nand unlocked. Hope this helps.
[EDIT] I'm assuming you meant you had the Froyo OTA and used regaw's downgrade method.

Inhis step to downgrade he tells you how to use unrevoked forever to fully root amd unlock..

I perm rooted my G2 last night and I have been trying to install the nexdroid ROM for several hours. I followed all the directions and I booted to recovery, wiped all my memory, and when I clicked on the zip file to install, it said something along the lines of:
Cannot find update
Installation aborted.
So later I tried to install the cyanogenmod ROM and the same exac thing happened. I checked with terminal emulator to see that I am still rooted and I still have S-OFF. Any help would be appreciated because the nexdroid ROM looks amazing.

Are the files on the root of your SD card? If you can find and select the file and it aborts the install it could be a bad file download. I'm not really sure as I've never had that happen.
Either way, If you post this in the Q & A forum you are 100% more likely to get some useful help.

All of the oneclick methods have a high brick rate; the safest way to root is via adb as listed in the wiki. Its quite simple (I was drunk when I rooted mine), just follow the directions and double check your typing

Follow the wiki guide. Follow exactly the guide. Should be no problem.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
The wiki is the best way.
Use the Wiki as it is the XDA approved method. Now you will need to down grade so you need to follow the wiki in the exact order that it is. If you cannot follow the instructions, then you probably should not be rooting your phone in the first place.
You may want to take it to a fried that you trust to do the work and show/explain to you what they are doing and why. What are your goals for a rooted phone.
I've rooted my Vision twice with ADB and it gets easier once you get the hang of it.

Well it's very common that people get intimidated at the mention of ADB when they start out to root their phone... You could follow rooting instructions on my blog www.desirez.strawmetal.com you could try out the HTC Super Tool or use the regular guide there.. hope i could help you
My response to another guy (with basically the same question) just earlier today pretty much covers my thoughts on the matter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21280578&postcount=18
Wiki guide or strawmetals (or the guide in CM Wiki, for that matter) are essentially the same, I believe. But it looks like strawmetal was kind enough to package all the needed files into one download package, and simplify the steps a bit.

The downgrade is the hard part, and that requires adb.
Once past that, you could use the visionary/gfree method (not the visionary perm root method). It's pretty safe from what I've heard. I know some will disagree, but I've done it 3 times successfully with gfree.
i try to set up adb but my computer is dumb!!
it never reads my phone i tryed like three diffrent adb still nothing
If you haven't already, check out the adb guide in my signature to see if that helps.

hi i too need apps or method for rooting my phone of rom 2.3.3 offcial of bild number 2.42
please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Hello all.
I have been trying to root our kfhd89 and keep running in to errors while rooting.
Sometimes get an error about insufficient space on the device to push certain files or the whole procedure finishes but with no root access..
I have tried option 1 in z root and option 3. I've tried various methods (from the tutorials on here) to no avail.
Sometimes I get to the slow (broken lock screen) stage but can go no further regarding flashing 2nd BL/recovery.
Please help I'm going nuts here lol
No body got any ideas?
The issue is bloatware that got added to the factory set. It is recommended to delete officesuite.apk to make room.
I don't have the link handy, but if you search the forums there are some options to add these commands to the bin4ry script. It worked for me on 8.5.1.

Hi thanks. I have managed to root it now but cannot flash a recovery img file (like twrp) it just won't do it. I've tried 4 or 5th different methods but no luck
Read the post about how to install TWRP 2.7.0 under the developers forum for the 8.9. It worked on mine with rooted 8.5.1. There is also a nice YouTube video showing how to do the fire flash.

Yes mate I've tried ALL the guides and like I said none of them work, the cmd prompt itself cant write or send the . Img file over but doesn't say why. I've been rooting phones since my Samsung omnia so I'm not an amature with this sort of thing.
As part of the root process, you likely needed to delete some bloatware files, such as officesuite.apk. If not, then you still may not have enough space to do the bootloader process. Which files did you clean out?
