rooting

Is there a little more specific brake down of the rooting process (Laymen or lame man). How to place on the root sd drive and when I tried to open zip files, i was told they were invalid. I got them from this site.

thanks for the help but the first link doesn't work

Which link? They work fine for me.

I got as far as step 23 in the 30 step process from XNeckFaceX but I don't see a option for select the USB-MS toggle, just the 6 wipe options. Should I have loaded the new rom flash first. I can't even power down or get out of the wipe menu. I am afraid if I remove the batt I could not reboot. What to do?

ADB FOR BEGINNERS, the rest are fine

Hopefully by now you got through everything ok. If you are using Amon_Ra recovery, USB MS is on the main menu. Press both VolUP+DWN at the same time to go up a menu.

It doesn't get any easier than the Simple Root Guide. Try that one if you have trouble with any others.
All you do is download one zip file and run the EXE (making sure you have .NET framework and HTC sync installed first), click each button for each step. And done.

This usually means you need to enable USB debugging, step 2 didn't work, or you need to flash a custom ROM. To test root type "su" in a terminal. You should get "#" back. If you get that try enabling USB debugging or flashing a custom ROM. If you don't get that flash a custom ROM.

[GUIDE] How to s= off with "su" and how to flash rom---[Noob's]

How to get S =off and superuser permissions
Make sure you are on 2.2.1 software and fastboot is turned off, usb debugging is turned on and phone not connected to computer via usb cable... before u attempt this.
First make sure you have visionary(downlod link) and terminal emulator(market) installed.
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
Place the visionary download file into sdcard and install the apk using astro file manager.
Root.rar (all files plus a script to make things a little easier. )
http://www.mediafire.com/?flit79p2y069bb3
md5sum: 46361b0cc8652d88688c0ab66d44950b
1. Download the root.rar file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.(it should be a folder after unzip.[place the whole folder called root directly into sdcard])
2. Run VISIONary to gain temp root. Open visionary and check "set system r/w after root" then click on "temproot"..screen will go blank..thats normal.
Now open terminal and run some commands.
Terminal Emulator Method
3a. Start terminal emulator up on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)
a. type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.
b. Type "cd /sdcard/root" + enter.
c. Type "sh root.sh" + enter.
d. Follow the on screen prompts.
Turn off your phone and hold vol down and power. on the top u will see s =off.
select "fastboot" then shutdown or powerdown. Power you phone back on.
Open terminal and typr "su"..it will say permission denied. Thats normal
Now open visionary again. Make sure "set system r/w after root" checked then click on "temproot"..screen will go blank.. thats normal. Now click on "Attempt Permroot now" phone is reboot and you are all set
Go back into terminal and type "su" and it will say user permissions granted.

Flash a Custom ROM----Make sure fastboot is off and usb debugging is on.
1. Before we flash anything lets flash clockwork so that you are able to get into recovery. From the market download Rom manager(free). Open rom manager and click on "flash clockworkmod recovery". Wait few min. Rom manager will download and flash clockwork. Turn your phone off and Hold vol down and power. In the hboot menu select recovery and then the phone will restart. You will get a phone with yellow triangle error. Thats normal. Don't panic. Take the battery out for couple on min. Turn the phone back on. Open Rom manager again. Now click on "flash clockworkmod recovery". It will flash the recovery second time. We are doing this to make the clockworkmod stick. Now turn the phone off and see if you can get into recovery again. It should work.
2. Make sure you are permrooted and S =off. Also make sure you are able to get into recovery before you start flashing stuff. Download rom from XDA developers and save it to your computer.
3. Once it is saved, plug in your phone via USB cable and mount the SD card so we can save files to the sd card.
4. Copy the ROM’s .zip file over to the root of the sd card (NOT in any folders on the sd card, just on the root of the card) (do NOT extract it, leave it as a .zip).
5. In the custom recovery screen, select Nandroid then Backup and backup your current ROM.
6. Then select Wipe Data and wipe caches.
7. Then select Apply ".zip from sd card" and choose the ROM you downloaded earlier.
8. Once it is done flashing, click reboot system. Once it reboots, you are all set. Enjoy!

Hey devs let me know if something need to be corrected in the steps.

Looks pretty good and Thank You. Only thing I noticed is the detailed steps for Rom Manager and clockwork are missing.

Sure I will it in the guide in couple of days.

Nothing missing that I can see, looks pretty good.
My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!

Well I thought since he is going to the extent on detailing all the steps he might as well talk about the ROM Manager and recovery. Someone will say how do I get in to custom recovery if it is not mentioned that it is needed. If you are going the detail route then this should be included IMHO. I think this will help many new users.

I meant as far as the s off and rom flashing. I agree with you though that cw needs to be outlined a little better I just didn't mention it b/c he said he was going to add it later.
My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!

Added the Rom manager and clockwork recovery steps under "flashing new rom". Plz can someone make sure this thread stay on first page bec i have see if no one responds the old threads move to second page.

Thank you very much this is my first android phone and when I followed the other root guide I didn't press perm root in visionary (last step), and a mod should sticky this so that it stays on the first page

I am glad I can help.

I also just flashed a rom using this tutorial and I can tell you it's pretty noob friendly. I mean I have flashed softwares on other phones but never on an android, once again great guide.

i followed this method and when it rebooted after the "perm root" my phone keeps getting this error: The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I can't really use my phone at this point.. any suggestions?
thanks.

Is there a way to force the 2.2.1 update if on the stock 2.2? I've tried all methods so fat and can't seem to get it to update....there is no ruu file around?

Just wait, how long have you had the phone? On my first mt4g it took over a day to get my OTA update, but on my second one it only took an hour till I got mine. I've seen some people not get it till almost a week later.

Either Nandroid back or perform fix permissions via rom manager application.

i was never able to install the rom manager after it rebooted.. i only have maybe less than a second to do anything until the next force close pops back up.

Ive had it 3 days my g2 got the update like within 45min lol

Not really sure what went wrong. Did u make sure u were on 2.2.1 before you preformed the root method. I have tried these methods and never failed yet.

Hey Mackster248 the videos look good. The only thing is the root video by u uses visionary r11 and so visionary r14 has more options than last version so some people might get confused. what u say?

Am I rooted??

just used visionary/gfree method and went smooth. I rebooted n all that n it said "s-off" so I think I am? Also what is the next step after rooting??

If you go to terminal emulator and type in su and then enter you should get the # sign....then you know you're rooted. Now the first thing you should do is install rom manager from the market and from within that app flash clockworkmod. Do a backup after that and then you can start flashing some different roms.

like u say when i go to terminal emulator and type in su in the first line, the second line should pop up with #???

when you first open it there should be a $ sign prompt
type: su
then hit enter and you should see:
#
Also, if you can flash Clockworkmod, then you are rooted. Did you do that yet?

ooh yeah it does that. and no I haven't/ how do I go about doing that??

also u said do a back up after flashing clockwork mod... how do i do that
.... total nub here.
update: just flashed clockwork mod... Yay I'm rooted!!
...Now how do I back up??

You can do it 2 ways.
1. From within ROM Manager, scroll down to "backup current ROM' or
2. From within ROM Manager, select "Reboot into Recovery" and your phone will shutdown and restart into ClockworkMod. Once in ClockworkMod, you scroll through the menus with your volume bar. Hit the trackpad to select an option.

I did the first option and it asked me to save a file name then restarted my phone n did the second option by itself. What do I do??
also after I finish this, what is the next step to doing all the cool stuff with my phone??
also, can I delete visionary now? Or do I keep it??

Congratulations, you just did your first "Nandroid" backup.
Now, open your sd card with a file browser and go and find your backup. It will be in the clockworkmod/backup folder. It will be a folder with files in it. Copy that folder to your computer to be safe. Leave the folder there though, don't move it just copy it. If you ever run into a problem, you just reboot into recovery and select to restore that backup and your phone will return to just the way it is now....every app, every setting exactly as it is right now. You can have many backups if you want....of different roms too.
Delete Visionary from your apps. You can keep a copy of the apk if you want.
Try downloading Cyanogen Mod 6.1.1. That 's a good stable rom for your first one. Anytime you download a rom, put it on your sd card. It will be in .zip format. You can flash it from rom manager just like you did clockworkmod or you can do it by rebooting into recovery.

So I just installed cyanogen 6.1.1. And its stuck at the boot up screen... what do I do????

I've looked into it. While there are a few options to install roms from the pc, some of the commands are known to hang on completion, which means you can't really script them safely (you could add in some kill and restart commands, but you'd have to put like 2-5 min buffers on them to make sure it was done).
I've found that the quickest way to install roms is to use TWRP in the Defy Forums. It allows you to select multiple zips at a time to flash at once. I haven't used clockwork touch recovery yet.
I'll look into it a little more, cause typing something like "./rom_install.sh /path/to/rom.zip -gbgapps" to install a rom and gb gapps would be easy. If I can find a way to execute edify scripts (the ones used to install roms) from adb then this can be done. I can only make and test linux scripts since I no longer have windows, but Josuearisty can port it to windows shell script. I formatted my old windows drive to use my android compile drive .

Im not using TWRP either Touch Clockworkmod, both of them are not working as they should sometimes.
I supose that a fully working Touch Clockworkmod would restore an old backup made with our actual Clockworkmod recovery, but does not.
In the case of TWRP, works fine for some time but later it seems to get tired and when you make a backup, it says its complete inmediatly but it is still creating backup files.
It would be great to install roms with just hitting Enter coming from froyo. Do you think that just making some changes to the script, is it possible to install a rom the pc?

I'm sure its possible somehow, I've just never looked too deep into doing it. What ways I have found either used commands that would hang and require you to quit after 2 mins of activity and start the 2nd command which hangs the same thing -- not safe enough to script. The other ways were for broke\no sdcard and involved copying the rom to /data and then installing as normal.
What I think needs to be done is set up a script that copies the rom & gapps to the sdcard and executes their edify scripts. We need to figure out what command recovery uses to execute the script\install roms then incorporate it into an install script. You'd still have to reboot to bootmenu and enable adb, but that's all (unless we find a way to reboot and have adb already enabled (not good for all the time use, security concerns - it'd be possible to get around the bootmenu pin if adb was enabled on power up).

Well, look at the rom manager, watch how it does it. I think that looking into adb commands we can make a script works like rom manager.
When you select the rom, rom manager lets you wipe data & cache and also install gapps. The rom manager goes to recovery and inmediatly do all steps it self, you can also backup your actual rom.
Try it, download it from market and try it, I see your roms there too.
Some windows commands are:
Adb reboot recovery = reboot into recovery mode
Adb push FILE = copy files to whatever place into out phones. Example to copy a rom.zip to sdcard
Adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
Those are windows commands, dont know if they could work on linux. If my pc wasnt broke I would be making some tests!

Use cm7. Very fast and stable with no random hiccups, rare force-closes. The SBF is the Motorola Bravo "factory ROM". To install it, you can use RSDlite or do it in linux, both of those tuts are found in the bravo general section. You probably won't have to use the SBF unless you brick your phone, which is a possibility, but flashing the sbf will unbrick it 99% of the time.
Current ROM: CM7.2 Euroskank Cherry Picks | Bravo port

I think I have a problem. The sim I put in to this phone is asking to log in with moto blur and nothing I try is working. So I can't switch the debug mode on. I even tried the bypass suggested by someone but fastboot is not preinstalled on this phone. All I get is the bootloader or stock recovery.
I also tied resetting the password but after I go thru it it just says there is no phone on this moto blur account.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:
I got it. I factory reset the phone and then was able to use the bypass motoblur ****.

Post a little more info.
What did you do?
Can you access custom, stock, or bootloader recovery?
Does it still charge?
And did you factory reset from Custom recovery or Stock recovery? Custom only wipes all data where Stock actually formats the partitions.
The easy way and a common issue we're having now.
Unless this is one of those CM10 ext4 issues, just flash the sbf and you should be good to go.
If you downgraded from CM10 and you were using ext4 /data and /cache, reinstall CM10, format back to ext3, then flash whatever you want.

The CM10 ext4 issue is when you flash a CM10 custom kernel rom and select format /data & /cache to ext4 in the bootmenu. Only custom kernels can use the ext4 file system, so what happens is you format them as ext4, install CM9, and it doesn't load because it can't mount /data and /cache to write them because they're on an unsupported file system. The only things you can do are reinstalling CM10 and formatting back to ext4 of flash the sbf in extreme cases. Its not dangerous at all, just very annoying if you forget to format back to ext3 .

2. Put XT320_bootmenuV2.zip in the root of your sdcard
3. Reboot into fastboot mode by typing this command in cmd:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4. Then type this command in cmd:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
5. Then use volume keys to navigate and power button to select option. Select install zip from sdcard, then select XT320_bootmenuV2.zip and select yes to install the zip file
6. Then reboot device by selecting reboot device now.
CWM 6 has a bug where it asks you to 'disable recovery flash' when you select reboot system now make sure you select NO or you will soft brick your device.
Changelog:
-v2 No need to mount /sdcard in CWM Recovery. Fixed TWRP installation issues.
-v2.0.1 Released an .exe version of script, to simplify installation
-v2.0.1.1 Fixed bootmenu.zip

This can install a custom recovery?

Thank you
The root process worked for me. Now i can install link2sd and set up a swap partition.
I cant install TWRP and i think the reason is that the bat was having some problem to send that bootmenu.tar file to my sd card. I tried to send that file myself before starting the entire process and it didnt worked.
I took a picture of the error i'm getting . Thank you again, i was really mad about that low internal space xD

same problem... someone can fix it? please

Ok, I've made a fixed script here. The error was that the sdcard is a directory so it will refuse to push files into it.
Here's the updated script below. Just put the .bat file in the same place as the other files.

Thanks

Ty for the quickly answer.
Btw, my gsm network wasnt working after the root process. If the same thing happens to someone else, just do a master reset and it will work again.

pull command is working now
That sdcard copy part is working now. The TWRP process is still not working for me. I tried to do myself the commands using the adb interface and when i use the command to intall the tar, i got the message 'tar: no space left on device" . I hope you can help me with that and i'm sorry about all this questions xD .

You must have more than 5MB free in your /system partition. Please move your apps to the /flex partition or delete the useless apps in /system.

Yes but it sometimes gets unstable so you should overclock to 700MHz which is the highest I got without reboots. pll2_l_val=73 gives you 700MHz.

It worked for others but in your situation the only thing I can advise is to do a data wipe and relfash SBF file. Just go to Guitwo2's there to install permanent CWM.

Hi, it's me again... i have a new trouble
i installed the xt320_bootmenu.zip (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229233) the first time that i rebooted works fine, but the on the second reboot it doesn't work, then i went to data to check if test.log was there and here's the problem... no test.log...
init.d was working fine until that i did it, i guess that my phone have troubles making work init.d
some solution for this annoying guy? thanks in advance!

Looks like 97bootmenu deleted itself, please reinstall the CWM zip again and it should work.
