[ROM]Stock 2.2.1 MT4G with ROOT [LINK UPDATED 3-6-2012]v.3

THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER SUPPORT OF THIS OTHER THAN IF THE LINK GOES DOWN OR THERE IS SOMETHING DRASTICALLY WRONG WITH IT, BUT SINCE IT IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND NO COMPLAINTS HAVE COME, IT IS DONE... TY FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
First i would like to thank football for posting the Stock ROM this is based off of!!!
This is nothing but the Stock 2.2.1 MyTouch4G MySense ROM with ROOT and slightly debloated!!!
The only reason i did this is as a request by a person on the site and i, on occasion like to go back to stock while retaining root.
Warning!!! I Am Not Responsible For Anything That Happens To Your Device!!!
I repeat, this is nothing but the stock rom that came shipped with your phone, but has root permissions added, no tweaks, mods, nothing added and SLIGHTLY DEBLOATED!!!
I have only tried this on the newest recovery, 3.0.2.4, and with that said, dont try this on any other recovery!!! JUST SAYIN!!!
Flashing Instructions
- Download the ROM and put it on the root (main folder) of your SD card not in a folder that you have to hunt down
- Boot into recovery
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
- Format system (under Mounts and Storage)
***Optional, but i do it every time, just cause it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside*** Format /sdcard, then of course you have to mountUSB storage and copy the .zip over to your phone
- Install from zip / choose zip from SD card / flash it!!
- Let it finish booting .. it will take you to the setup wizard screen .. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING! Wait 2 - 5 minutes and then hold down the power button and reboot.
<< do not turn on wi-fi until it says so in a couple of steps >>
- Once it boots up again, it will bring you back to the setup wizard. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING again!! Wait another 2 - 5 minutes .. then log in to Google
- You may now turn on WIFI
HAPPY FLASHING
HOW TO REPORT A PROBLEM TO ME

please dont take offense, you were just the first and unfortunate one to ask the first question, wheich i will start making a standard in every one of my ROM releases, so lets not make you the first one on the next rom i releas, which will be all stock, but modded out to my taste, and bloat free just for you, lol

I was gonna release EXACTLY this... but I was too busy, so I am glad someone has

Yeah, i was really surprised it hasn't been dropped before this, but someone was asking about it so i figured i would do it, since i have to contribute somehow, lol. but hey, its the first thing out of my kitchen that has been released to the masses, and its been downloaded 30 times so far, so i guess there is a demand for it! i know it isn't much, but someone needed it, so i am happy!

Thank you for this .. I was really surprised that no one had done just a stock rom. It works great.
But ... The first thing I usually check after I install a rom is go to terminal and type "free" to see if it gives me the free memory .. Unfortunately this does not .. It gives error messages.
This is the same thing that happend to me when I first rooted the phone and something went wrong ...re rooted it and works now.
With that said ... Is there something wrong with this rom in the way it has root? Or is there something more to do for this like gfree method ..
Thanks for this and helping

all i did to root this rom was throw it in the dsixda kitchen that i got from xda and grant root permissions and zipalign it, nothing more... that being said, there are 3 options on how to give it root permissions, and i will further investigate this and get back to you with an answer. let me flash it again and try exactly what you did, provided you can give me a little info about your phone
method of rooting, bootloader installed, and cwm recover image being used so that i might be able to replicate everything exactly as you have it now

I just restored to my previous Rom ... cm 7 final .. and I did that free in terminal and it worked .. I did nothing other than restore the Rom to my phone.
So it's got to be some thing in the Rom.
My thing is that if that simple command doesn't work then what else is it affecting and it's just not right/ complete.

[Q] Trouble getting recovery image and superuser access

Hey guys I looked all over for a solution for hours and I didn't see a thread containing my exact problem/solution so I will post it here. Here is my problem:
I flashed TMartin's Gingersense Rom and thought it was flashable back to recovery, but I realized it was a complete system dump after doing so. I have downloaded the new Superuser update to 2.3.6.1 although the phone doesn't detect it. This is what it says: "an error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sd card, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary."
My Evo doesn't think it's rooted even though it has the superuser app installed. I also tried using Rom Manager to reboot into recovery mode but it says this: "you must root your phone for Rom Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use google search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone." I have also tried to turn it off and press "voldown+power" and it goes straight to the rom. I believe I've overwritten the recovery image and I even know where to begin. I had clockwork 2.6 and 2 nandroid back-ups before doing this. Is there something I'm missing? Please help!

same thing happened with me and a couple evo's on my xp pro box.
what i did was, i just started the process over from the beginning...one of them took a couple times to stick.

Well Tmartin had a flashable zip of the gingersense rom. In the thread that got closed, in the OP, there were a few links. One was for a flashable zip, and the others were the system dump, as you noted.
When you boot to the bootloader, does it show you S off, or S on? When you select recovery from the bootloader, what is your result? Do you get a black screen/red triangle? Or does it just hang at the splash or something? If you're S off, you should just be able to flash a PC36IMG of recovery, and then flash a new rom from there. If you're S on, and have no recovery, then you'll need to re root your phone.

How do I even go about doing that?

Oh woops I didn't see you reply k2buckley lol. I can't boot into the bootloader, it goes straight into the rom.

Shut down your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. You will then be in the bootloader menu. At the top, you should see either S-ON or S-OFF.

Hold the power and volume down buttons till bootloader shows on the screen.

Just tried it. It doesn't boot into the bootleader, it just goes straight to the rom. I can imagine it has to be S-Off because it has superuser permissions (even though I can't access) it

You can't get to your bootloader? Are you on the Gingerbread Sense rom? If so, go to menu>settings>applications. Uncheck "fastboot". THen shut your phone off, and try to get to the bootloader again. Should work this time.

Yea, I only remember because it happened to me when I tested out that rom, lol. I too am running SalvageMod 1.2.1. It's been my daily for a bit now, just super smooth and stable for me. I was running some of the Salvage Nightlies too, which were good. The nightly 13 I tried had music controls on the lockscreen, which I'm a big fan of. It also came with Tiamat 3.3.7 kernel, which my phone hates. I went back to the stable build for now. I'm also curious to see Myn's next project. That interview that was on Good and Evo revealed that he's working on Warm Gingerbread. I keep hoping for one of those emails from Myn, with a nice link to some beta action!
To The OP:
Glad you got it worked out! Good deal man.

[Q] Well I did everything the way you guys said but I have grey screen now!

I used rom manager to flash Salvage mod 1.2.1 after rooting with Unrevoked and I followed you guys instructions completely but after 4g boot screen it went gray and stayed that way. Please help AGAIN! Should I reboot or pull battery? Sorry about all the questions/problems!

My instructions did not include ROM manager. Go back to your other thread and follow the instructions I posted. Follow teh roxxorz instructions for flashing the gapps.zip.

See your other thread for our instructions. Don't use rom manager, because sometimes it doesn't flash correctly.
In your other thread follow dougjamal's instruction for flashing the rom, and my instruction for flashing the gapps. You'll be all set.

Your right I am doing thru recovery as we speak! Sorry I figured using rom manager would be same but thats what I get. It did seem to do it right it went right to recovery and wiped and then installed but when it went to reboot it went grey. Anyway i am doing directly thru recovery instead of rom manager.

Well same result it says install from sd complete then I reboot and 4g screen then gray. I don't know what to do should I try another rom or am I screwed? I have been scared of this and I guess I should have let it alone. I use my phone for work!

If CM7 flashed for you, then Salvage-Mod should have flashed for you. I can only assume that the download got corrupted. It happens. Anyway, it's good to know you're up and running. Please don't be dissuaded from trying other roms. Take care.

OTA broke root procedure?

I've been trying to root my TMo GS3 since about 445am this morning. I can get into download mode, I can flash the .TAR. Phone reboots fine, When I reboot into recovery, I get the stock recovery every time. I've tried a few different versions of CWM and TW and I get the same thing every time, Nothing. I bought this phone used, 2 weeks old, and it has 4.04 on it. Anybody have any insight for me? This is not my first time tinkering either. I've been here since the Sprint Mogul, and I can usually get it figured out. But this time, I'm stumped. Any help?
ADDED: I've also tried "Flashed with ODIN agian, latest CWM Touch 6.0.1.2, deselected AUTO REBOOT and F. Reset TIme, waited for it to PASS installation, pulled battery " and it still DID NOT WORK. Got that from here http://androidandme.com/thread/att-galaxy-s3-wont-boot-into-clockworkmod-recovery/

UPDATE...I used this method and it worked
I think those are for the original build LE6 though.
Use odin to get your recovery installed but uncheck auto reboot.
When done unplug and hold power untill the screen turns off. Immediately let go of power and then press and hold Power + Volume up + Home. (Be quick)
When you see blue text flash on top of screen release power but keep holding other two until you get into recovery. (You may not have to keep holding home and vol, but its always wirked for me)
Now flash your SuperSU/Superuser and reboot.
Once booted delete/rename these files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This will stop stock recovery from being rewritten.
Now using goo or rom manager reinstall recovery again if you so choose.
Hope that helps.

evo 4g lte is fried, so i brought out an evo 4g out of retirement. must have popped in the wrong sd card (can't find the other one and have no idea what's on it regardless).
rebooted the bootloader and apparently flashed an unknown pcimg zip. now i have no idea what hboot or anything ese was attempted t be put on here. i was getting just the white htc evo 4g screen. then got it to eventually go to the light grayish screen w the big yellow 4G screen. now i'm getting either a blank black screen or a pop up that reads: Sorry! Process System is not responding.
and just now got it to go back to the big yellow 4G.
any ideas on what to do assuming i have nothing from when the phone was in operation? (in other words, i'm assuming the worst case scenario, like i have no nandroid backups, RUU, etc. at my fingertips.)
please help.

and now i'm at the lock screen which reads:
no service
correct time
correct date
and it will not move.

ok i would first suggest puting a pc36img.zip file of a recovery on your sdcard and then hopefully it flashes the recovery. If that works it will be simple after that.

considering i don't know what the hell was wrong w the phone, i'm not sure what's next. flash a ROM? if so, what's recommended? i was running meanbean on the LTE and i like that. at this point i just need to get the phone working and up to date on all sprint/htc firmware/ota's/etc.
again, thank you.

like i told someone yesterday, this is getting to be a pretty common request around here. here's an updated version of something i told someone else a few days before that:

Just download any sense ROM.
Try the latest rooted stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516892
Basic steps:
Download it (either odex or deodex doesn't matter)
Check md5
Put it somewhere on your SD card that's easy to find (any directory will do, but you don't want to have to hunt around for it all day in recovery)
Make a nandroid (well, at least normally you would do this if your existing installation is something you would ever want to go back to)
Wipe everything *except* your SD card - DO NOT WIPE YOUR SD CARD without a backup
Flash the zip
Reboot
If it works, great; let it sit for awhile, then do whatever you have to do
If it doesn't work, nandroid back and ask for further assistance

First thing you need to do before installing a rom is partition your sd card to ext 3 or 4,install DT's apps2sd and then install a rom.Go here and read everything and follow the directions carefully,all the links to everything you need is in his thread,its like 2 or 3 pages.This will help you in the long run from running into more issues,trust me,i live by Hips thread.

^^^ I Love this guy!!

That's what i'll do. Ended up getting recovery installed, superwipe, rom and then (!!!?!!!)....bootloader loops. Grrr...
I flashed the only up-to-date rom i could find that didn't expressly mention partitioning the sd card - something new to me - and could hear that little geek in the back of my mind screaming at me that i needed to do so.
Thank god i have another back up evo. I'm not doing ISH to this one until i sort out the one that still charges. Stupid port malfunction...
on on....

well that didn't work. right back into bootloader loops.
i'll give it more attention in a few days, hopefully. the refurb LTE arrives mañana...
