Hello all- I have been trying to install CWM on my SGS for almost 2 days now and am out of my mind. I have installed the "update" .zip file and gone through the motions but keep getting an "installation aborted" message. I have tried using ROM manager and get an error message.
I just want to install Darky's 7.0 ROM but just can't get the ClockworkMod on my mobile first.
Does anyone know what I can do, I'm banging my head against the wall
Thanks very much for any help !!!
Cheers, LL
Have you rooted the phone first?
Hi uk... Thanks for your quick reply;
yes I have rooted the phone. I keep getting an 'installation aborted" and somethin g anout an unverifiable signature for the .zip file !
Cheers, LL-
I guess I can root it again and see what happens.
Can you post your current firmware version and what root method you are using, and do you have Superuser installed?
Okay I just realised that when I put new firmware on yesterday it took away my root an/or superuser permission thing.
I am now ;
Firmware 2 2 1
Baseband i9000xxjpx
I am now assuming I did not back something up ?
Cheers, uk.... LL-
I am on JPU, very similar to JPX... I used Chainfires CF-Root to root the phone, then installed Superuser, then installed ROM Manager, then run ROM Manager, grant it permissions, then select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, Select i9000 and job done...
Cheers for your help uk... I am working on it right now and will report. Im hoping its all good !!!
Thanks again, LL-
if you have recovery 3e you can't install unsigned update.zip.
you need first to revert to recovery 2e
CF-Root by chainfire adds R2e, so if you use it to root you will be good to go

PS : I found it on : http://androidforums.com/gio-all-things-root/408235-rooting-samsung-gio-ginderbread-2-3-4-a.html
I used this for rooting my stock 2.3.6 (see attachment)
Roots, installs superuser and busybox.
Worked for me, but not sure if it works for S5660L
If you want to know where I got it from, pm me, can't post links yet, quite annoying...
You should go in the recovery mode to run the update.zip and not though the file explorer.
To come in recovery mode, turn off the phone -->press the main button (in middle) + right button (to turn on/off the phone) keep both buttons until the recovery mode shows. Scroll down by using the left side button on phone (volume control) and choose install zip from sdcard by pressing the main button. Then reboot the phone and its rooted.

You can use Root Explorer,Astra or other similar app for unrooting, it should be mounted as R/W
go to: system/app, delete SuperUser.apk
reboot
still a problem ..
Hello everybody
I have tried all the ways to have my root access in my samsung GIO 2, but nothing works..
Model Number :GT-S5660
Android System : 2.3.6
I think it's the same model as the others here.. But When I try to root with a file update.zip, it doesn't work, with the file RootGalaxyGio.zip (this one of this topic) it's the same case...
I install RootChecker and it says me that I haven't the root access.. And If I try to install "SuperSU" to move the apps, it says me that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I I really don't know What I could do to have my root access.....
Thank's a lot for your answers

Confused
Ican you help me with rootgalaxygio.zip? There are other packages... eg

Hey guys. This is my first post. Ive been reading the site for years and decided to make an account because i needed some advice. I can usually come here and find what i need which is the case but the info i cant get to work properly. I have found other threads about this but the programs or instructions to get the phone to root do not work. Either the program says its finished and the phone is rooted.. but its not. Other programs simply wont root. SuperOneClick errors at start however i am sure if it doesn't root 2.3.4 that it wont root 4.0.4 so i haven't been to worried about SuperOneClick. I read one forum that mentioned to download and make a folder for Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15. I ran this program and it said it was successful however the phone still doesn't have root. I also tried a program that ran a "runme.bat" file that also said it was successful however the phone still has no root. I found a rootxperia.zip file when installed via CWM said it installed but again, still no root. This is verified in all cases by trying to open busybox with a message that it cant gain root and also with the rootchecker app. My phone is unlocked as you may already know cause i am on 4.0.4 with FXP 2.6.32.9 kernel , 9-20121108-UNOFFICIAL-zeusc Cyanogen 9.
I hope thats more than enough info. and i am trying to achieve the best in CM9. Kernel and Mod. If im not using the the best please point me in the right direction. With all the info it was quite easy to get confused. This is the only combination i found to get CM9 working with WIFI. (please no wifi questions. i tried for days to get it to work. it didnt. then when i reinstalled the kernel and mod at a later date.. it just worked. :-\ )

Download the rootXperia zip. Then go into recovery...install from sd... Rooted.
Try installing rom again then the root xperia zip right after.

i tried it already
"I found a rootxperia.zip file when installed via CWM said it installed but again, still no root."
Thanks. Although i tried that and it didnt work. Like i mentioned in my original post.
I am going to re install the mod then install the update exactly after the mod installs.
After clearing all the info in cwm and reinstalling the mod.. then installing the rootxperia.zip file.. i am still not rooted.. so this triple check still shows i have no root.

You cant root 2.3.4 R800x firmware you must downgrade to 2.3.3 with flashtool. Or unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel that enables su automatically. Rootxperia zip only works for 2.3.3 and below.

OK.. how do i know if a custom kernel has SU enabled? I mentioned in the post that i do have the bootloader unlocked and that i am running a kernel/rom of fxp cyanogen9.
I have SU in the app drawer but busybox and root checker both say im not rooted.
You may have to update the su app from the gplay store. Then update the binaries... Inside the su app

That seemed to be it.. Once i installed the ICS GApps, and my apps updated.. I got the superuser popup to accept or deny apps once i restarted the phone. thanks..

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?

Okay, once again. YOU HAVE TO UNBRICK NOW. LOOK IN ONE OF SEVERAL UNBRICKING GUIDES FOR OUR DEVICE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. Sorry but there is simply no way around it.

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:

I have never rooted a phone before but do have an idea about it.... I need help as to how to flash CyanogenMod on my device. I found the download file but the CyanogenMod installer does not support my device; and what is the difference between sprout4 and sprout8 ?
What is TWRP and ClockworkMod?
I want install CyanogenMod do I need to root first? I don't know anything about flashing recoveries
.... if someone could please help...
First of all root your device... After rooting successfully instal cwm or twrp or philz recovery in your device and then go to recovery mode and flash the cyanogen mod rom files...but be careful to have a search with the terms that is unknown to you because anything that is performed wrongly can be very harmful for your device and it may cause damage and result into hardbrick....

Please anyone help me with how I am going to root my androidone phone I have never rooted any one before
Rooting, no problem!!!
If you are totally noob, then yu should download and install android one toolkit from the given link
http://www.mediafire.com/download/l8590x9kj779gan/Android_One_Toolkit_Update_1.2.1.exe
But you should have .NET FRAMEWORK 4.0 or above than that if you don't have it just take it from given link
http://www.freewarefiles.com/downloads_counter.php?programid=55008
After downloading and installing above applications you just open the android one toolkit, then click on ROOT button given on Rooting section.
https://www.google.co.in/imgres?img...wxLCI4ONNM&ei=Hbh7VujBDafgmAXxp7-wBg&tbm=isch
see the above picture
then yur mobile will be rooted and after that yu just flash the custom recovery like twrp, philz or cwm.
After all these procedures your mobile will be ROOTED and you are free to install any custom rom, custom kernel or many tweaks
GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR JOURNEY FROM A NOOB TO A GEEK.
:good::good::good:
If you don't have any comuter or laptop then you should try kingoroot or any one click root applications like kingroot, towel root etc. but personally i don't suggest it for MM cuz it dont work on it...:cyclops:
