Hi, i posted on general before but i didnt know you guys had bootloader unlock already so ill tell you how to root but need someones boot.img only and ill make a new kernel and you guys are all set when i do this, also ill get my overclock module here if you give me the boot.img, ill post here the method
Hey,
Ive been working with ky but we had no luck so far, he mentioned that you would be helping. How can I go about getting the boot.IMG without root, and I'll get it for you. I did get the Rom.zip from the ruu but it's encrypted and will need to be decrypted to use that...

Using terminal emulator on your device, issue the command
Code:
dump_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
This will dump the boot image to your sdcard.

Extract boot.rar
Copy boot.bin to your sdcard
Unmount the SDcard if you copied from your computer.
Open a terminal either with ADB shell or im assuming a term emulator would work.
SU for root privs. then use this command:
Code:
dd if /dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bak bs=4096
This will backup your current one.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/boot.bin of=/dev/block/bml1 bs=4096
This will rewrite with the new one.

If you can pull the stock recovery and post it, that would be great...
Otherwise, could one of you try booting into the stock recovery and see what it does... I tried to load the Fascinate Clockwork using ROM Manager and I'm not sure if it actually did anything or not... I don't think Clockwork would check with Verizon for updates.... All I have experience with is Amon Ra on my Eris..... Would be great if it just failed to change it.....

Nevermind, I've discovered the problem. The code to backup your current boot image is "dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bak bs=4096". There was an equal sign missing in the post above.
So I've completed the steps listed above and was under the impression this would restore my phone to stock. However, I still don't have the Verizon bloatware I deleted. Did I not understand what this process was meant to accomplish?
OK I know this problem has been posted hundreds times before but i've read several of them but still can't find out what i did wrong. SO: I got my G2 rooted with S-OFF as i looked in the bootloader. I rooted the phone using rage method. So if i have my S-OFF that's obviously that i am rooted right?
And I definitely have my adb set up right cuz i could not root my phone if i didn't have adb set up. The question is Why every time I try to do adb remount, it will keep saying remount failed operation not permitted.
Even when I try doing adb shell and su it would say access denied too.
Just a little frustrating, What can i do to fix this?

I am not %100 if this is your problem but i think you need ENGINEERING HBOOT
to run adb commands ,you can do it by reading the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Z.2FG2.2FDHD.29_-_OPTIONAL_and_UNNECESSARY.21
But if you want to do it be very very carefull becasue if you do it wrong you will brick your phone and there is no way back
S-OFF is different from having your phone rooted, so it sounds like your rooting hasn't worked. If you have S-OFF and the eng hboot, you could use fastboot to flash Clockwork recovery and then install a custom pre-rooted ROM.
Or you will need to go through the rooting procedure again to see what has gone wrong.

If that's the case that my phone hasn't been rooted. My rom manager worked. I flashed clock work successfully and I did checked that I had it by rebooting into recovery. I even used n1 torch high brightness to make sure I was rooted. Then extra step was asking su in my terminal emulator too. But I still had hboot.img tho. Should I do an engineering hboot ?

The ADB remount command requires the ro.secure property to be set to 0 (even if you are rooted). If you want to remain on the stock ROM, flashing the linked ROM will do it for you (and is way easier than doing it yourself manually). Most (if not all) of the custom ROMs will set this property for you if you wanted to try others as well.
Thank you guys very much. I never faced this problem before since my n1 was rooted and flashed rom using the phone not adb our anything related to computer.so thanks guys. Case closed. Happy me lol

The zip doesn't have a .img file in it.
It has a file named recovery, but it doesn't have a file extension.
That's probably it, but I am unsure how to use this.
Also rom manager is not flashing the recovery to my phone.
It will let me go into cwm 2.5.0.7 via the old method.
But if I manually reboot into recovery I still have the same old version of cwm that alpharev installed
v2.5.0.1
i asked this awhile back as well.. and im still looking... Clock will not flash it cause it sees it as 3g slide and only does the update.zip method... and the zip contains what is needed but gotta make it into a img file

How can we make it into an .img?
I could probably figure that out easy enough, but would it work right?
Have you tried just using the update.zip from recovery and seeing if it sticks? I can't seem to dig up an actual image file either, which tells me that maybe there isn't one. More to the point, using the "apply update.zip from SD" option vice the typical select .zip from SD.

There is no way to (permanently) flash clockworkmod without S-OFF.
There is only one way to achieve S-OFF. It's not that complicated. You download an ISO CD image, burn it to CD, follow the instructions on the screen. Just read the S-OFF thread so you know what to do with the timing of hitting the power button on your phone.

Just Flashed it with Terminal Emulator.

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-espresso.img
Should say writing files and a bunch of hex numbers and letters
about 10 lines or so.
you can't flash the recovery.zip or recovery file from inside the zip they don't work and will make your recovery not work.

Just flashed the above file and it works. I did it from fastboot though.
NIICE waiting long time for this and works great
This worked for me. My power button quit working so I'm getting a new slide in the mail an had to get the rom I was using off an unroot which was harder than normal since my power button doesn't work. But I followed this an all is good. Thank-you.

Okay I've been getting reports of roms not flashing right for the marvelc. So I set out for a solution and found one I believe. One issues with some roms, is that people have been doing it wrong since they got the phone. From Gsm recovery to even gsm roms. They used cmtd a very bad idea ect ect. So now, id like to present my method for fixing all of this. First, soff your hboot, then upgrade and unlock. install custom recovery and wipe all of the partitions. Then reboot to fastboot and flash the recovery posted bellow. Report back with any findings
http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/marvelc/cm9/tests/recovery.img
I was just wondering if you could give step by step instructions to flashing the recovery.img. File.
Download it. Rename to recovery.img. Place in the same directory as fastboot and adb.
Put your phone into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Simonsimons34 I have tried many things but this CWM actually let me flash a rom your great!! thanks so much and this worked for me
Glad to hear it this recovery has all the bugs with flashing and backups fixed so you should be good for the life of the phone

Well if you're only unlocked, and not rooted, have custom recovery/ROM or anything, you are completely stock. Just unlocked bootloader... OTA has nothing to do with unlocking bootloader. Also root doesn't stop OTAs. Just FYI... Only flashing custom ROM, custom kernel or custom recovery or a change to a system partition stops the OTA.

Yes you can use that guide for toroplus (i.e., Sprint) devices as well if you have the images. But since you don't have the userdata image (and therefore you skip that step), you may need to boot CWM and wipe /data and /cache, but only if you experience a bootloop.
So in recovery I have to flash each image? That's the part I don't get.

You cannot flash image files on any recoveries. You need to do those in fastboot mode using command prompt.

That's not at all what I said.
Follow the guide. But for the userdata image (which you don't have), boot into recovery and wipe data.
I finally did it!! If anyone needs help let me know. PM me.
