Any solution
Thank you
Make sure sd is formatted to fat32, file is on root of sdcard (not in any folder) if windows is set. To hide file extention just name it PC10IMG and windows will add the .zip
Personally I say the fastboot method is better in a lot of ways but may be tricky if your unfimiliar

Sorry didn't get you question, well I'm glad you finished the guide, easy huh?
Rizzoizzo made a great guide on flashing the first rom for beginers, check out the general section and it will be within the first few pages. Pretty much just pick a rom, put on sd and boot to recovery, there you will flash it, then reboot
Now that you are rooted there are many new tweaks and mods to do but first grab a custom rom, you will find those in the developers section

Comparate to ROOT i think its more easy,then i go to see the rooms in here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=758
But i dont know what its best for me (Noob)
can you tell me one great that everythings works (camera,bluethoot,etc)
PS: the room comes with language Portuguese iam from Portugal
Thanks again
Yep that's the right thread, be sure to thank rizzoizzo
There are many many roms that everything works so its hard to pick one for you, it all depends on you. If you like sense they tend to be slower than cm and other aosp roms but may be prettier
If you need 100% no issues the closest would be something with a gingerbread base but newer roms work damn near perfect too. Try some out and see where it gets you
Happy flashing

I installed this Room:

If i want to change to another the process its the same
Yep, do a complete wipe then flash anew. Also I suggest doing a nandroid backup before each wipe/flash so you can easily go back to if you so desire

So I am moving onto a new phone so I will not be supporting this thread anymore. Please help each other the best you can. Also if anyone wants to take over and support this thread feel free. Last but not least if anyone wants to use any of the items I put into this also feel free. Remember that android is made possible with contrbutions from viewers like you!
Check out my new guide its much easier and automated now!!
Sorry but I no longer have the files that were in the zip as my laptop that they were on no longer has a charger so I really don't have a way to pull them off until I come up with extra funds to buy a charger for that dinosaur!
I have updated the commands so everything will be working correctly.
Please note this a guide to unrooting your device and returning it to stock, if you have nothing stock and didn't back anything up i.e. modded rom, changed recovery, eng. bootloader.
If you didn't follow the ultimate guide then you will not need to follow steps 1-7. Just follow from 8 on.
Also keep in mind this was created assuming you followed the ultimate guide to permaroot turning radio s=off and changing cid thus unlocking phone.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone blah blah blah.
Also if I am incorrect in any of these steps someone please let me know.
Also this is just a guide that I wrote using all the others. Please thank and donate to grankin01 for providing the original guide and also thank/donate to tiger013 for providing a stock nandroid. Also thank Football for providing new rom.
With that said here we go:
Download the PD15IMG file and rename it to PD15IMG.zip
1. Copy PD15IMG.zip and "part7backup-whatevernuberitscalled.bin" to the root of your sdcard
2. Connect your phone to your computer and navigate to your sdk folder then type adb push gfree /data/local
3. Open up terminal emulator or adb shell and type "su" press enter to get root privileges.
4. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter
5. Type "chmod 777 gfree" and hit enter to make the program executable.
6. Now type "./gfree -f" press enter to run gfree again. It will disable wp on the emmc and remove the brq filter in the kernel. (as well as make another backup. delete this)
7. Now run the "dd if=/sdcard/part7backup-whatevernumberitscalled.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" and it should show the output:
xxxx bytes in
xxxxbytes out
xxxxxxxxxx copied in xxxxxxxxxxx
8. Run "sync" and then reboot.
9. Let phone load then boot into bootloader again by holding volume down and pressing power
10. Let it load image and select yes to update.
11. Let it do its work it will reboot once this is normal.
And that should be it. Enjoy stock rom.
Great job! I un-rooted worked fine! Then I re-rooted worked fine also!

I assume this will not work if you have made a backup with clockwork? Also your instructions say apply nandroid backup, but there is no option in recovery for appy nandroid backup. There are options to update from update.zip and another one from a zip file. The folder inside you unroot package is not a zip file?

Well like I said this was done using no backups made.
Under clockworks recovery theres an option for backups and restore - this is the nandroid restore.

Is this unroot like out of the box type deal. So that i can get future ota updates. I used ultimate guide to perm root. I am using stock rom. I am notsure if i should just do unroot.zip to unroot for future ota updates.

If performed correctly is should take you back to out of the box stock.

I'm guessing you can't do this strictly from terminal emulator?

A guide for terminal emulator would be welcome.
I did S=off with it (plus radio) with root explorer and terminal emulator only. It was much easier and quicker.

so...?
I put the nandroid file on my sdcard, but in recovery when i go to restore there it says no files. What do I need to do to get this to work. I have a replacement coming to me so I need to figure this out.
Edit: Sorry I'm an idiot. I got it know. Thank you so much for posting this.
Edit2: Crap! Ok I have s=on now but i still have hboot 0.86.0000 Shouldn't I have the old one now?
Where is the "part7backup" located? Also, what is it?
this sucks... i followed everything perfectly but now my recovery is screwed up ugh this is so frustrating i have that stupid phone with a red triangle thing when i try to boot into recovery (yes im aware its supposed to be stock recovery not clockwork)
Folks,
I need someone on DL17 to test for root access. Due to the small community, I haven't heard if anyone is rooted on DL17.
While I can build kernels and get clockwork working for DJ20, for DL17, I need the stock kernel dumped, and for that I need root.
Steps:
1. Go to Index of /files and download rage.bin. (right click, save as)
2. Copy or adb push rage.bin to /data/local/tmp on your phone.
3. In adb shell:
Code:
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rage.bin
Then
Code:
/data/local/rage.bin
It will give you a wall of text. Wait a few minutes, hit ctrl-c to close adb shell, then type
Code:
adb kill-server
Then do adb shell again. It should (hopefully) take you to a # prompt. Please report back.
Thanks.

Here is the wiki I am following: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Rooting

Try the command(s) as a single line:

Think I figured it out. You are using this 2.2 root method on a 2.3 ROM? chmod from shell/terminal does not work on 2.3.3/2.3.4 without already having su. Will need to look at other ways to root (several ways posted in this forum) if you are.

Thank you so much! After two days I am rooted, what a blast!
Adrenaline due to being afraid of bricking.
what did you use to root?
I am having same issues with read only...
newtybar, which guide u've used? Still searching for solution to downgrade/root Gingerbread OTA on Desire Z.
If you are on Gingerbread you should be using a downgrade guide first found here. Then you can do the rooting and s-off guide found in the wiki. If you have questions you can used IRC (if you're familiar with it) and go to #g2root where they do know what they're doing.
I was browsing around XDA and came across this thread:

Can this root our phones? Can someone clarify if this can or can't?
Why don't you try it out yourself and clarify it for the rest of us
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
I don't know how, that's why I am asking...
I would say no as I think it uses the same exploit as Gingerbreak and it got patched in 2.3.3. So I would say it works on 2.3.2 and down. Even more someone is reporting it not to work on 2.3.5.
But go ahead and try

Android is based off linux, and chmod is what's used to set permissions for files you don't own

adb shell (in laymen's terms is) linux terminal (command prompt) after you push the file, cd to /data/local, them run "chmod 755 zergRush" it'll work.

So in other words, if I was running Linux, I could root my phone?
No, Android is linux based, what hes saying is in adb you use linux commands, in this case changing the permissions on the file to run it in the first place, but from what Ive read even if it does run its not working for us ATM
Thanks for the clarification. So are they fixing/updating it to work with our phones?
I recently aquired a mytouch slide 3g from a freiend, I wouldn't call my self a noob but I need some help.
