Want to root my friends Sprint s2

But I am quite confused about the methods used here. There is a lot of chat about firmware that my friend doesn't seem to have. All I know he has ics. I.have rooted my HTC sensation, Samsung galaxy s3 and a nexus 7 with no issue. But this stuff makes no sense. Am I even in the right forum?

That seems like too much work. Don't y'all have a stock rooted Odin .tar.md5? And the process for installing recovery seems dated. Once rooted you should be able to install twrp or cwm through room manager or goo manager. Or am I wrong?

what do you want as an END STATE?

The end state I want him to have a cm10 nightly on his device.

then this is your process:
download the rom and gapps to your phone's internal sd card.
2) go to download mode and ODIN this to your phone:

2) reboot
3) clear dalvik,cache,factory data reset
4) Flash CM10 + gapps
DONE
This from the blog is correct btw... long winded but correct and safe. it has more detailed steps if you need itbut all is required are those 4 items above.

Yes, you can install Goo and yes it will download the current version of TWRP but touch is still flaky. I changed to CWM until TWRP is adapted to the Note 8.

Is there a legitimate reason to have a recovery right now? With what is currently available to root users as far as roms and what not I just havent seen a reason to install one yet. Plus I tried TWRP a week or so ago using goomanager and it fails to install the script.

Thanks, dude. There are a few nascent roms and I wanted to try them. However after reading through their descriptions, I think I will wait! Good looking out guy.

Thats what I'm thinking at the moment. I wish to root as the tools i like to use require it (FolderMount and SetCPU), but none of the Kernels or ROMS are mature enough for me to flash and while I'd like to support testing them, I will be using the device as my diary, calendar, organiser, sketchbook and note pad, and I dont want to jeopodise my ability to use it with an unstable build.

[Q] Custom Recovery Help

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Android modding and whatnot, and I managed to root my Verizon HTC One. However, I am looking to install stock android on it to make it a google play edition. I've read that I need a custom recovery like TWRP or something. Can someone point me into the right direction on how to get stock android on my verizon htc one? Thanks!

Just get on a custom recovery and then flash a ROM that is based on GPE, I think we have two available.

Android Stock and Google Play Edition are a bit different so you will have to do some research and decide what ROM you want to go with.
For our device we have 2 recovery options, TWRP and Clockwork. Both can be found in the Origional Android Development forum:

I am not going to say one is better than the other. I use TWRP, but mostly because I am use to it from other devices.

Download TWRP to the external sd , the download flashify from the Google play store, select flash recovery, then browse to the file you downloaded to the externalSD. Easy as pie

Not sure how you got flashify to work but the HTC one isn't supported. The dev told me he doesn't own the phone so it's not likely to ever work.

I just used flashify to install TWRP 2.6.3.3 less then a minute time.
Try this option. xda-developers - View Single Post - [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.6.3.3 touch recovery http://bit.ly/I2mP0P
Type: su
After that, cd to the location of the .img file: (i.e. if it was on the root of the sd card then...)
cd /sdcard/
Finally, flash the image to the recovery partition:
dd if=recovery-xxx.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34

Here's the best place to start looking for answers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44905464
If coming from ios, realize there are a lot more people involved in the rom/themeing process so be more patient.
However, above all remember to search first. Probably 90% of whatever you are looking for has already been asked, so save yourself the heartache and try searching first.
After that, there are tons of people here to help you if the above tips don't work. Just understand that you have to put a little effort on your part first if you have an issue, that way it makes it easier for others to help troubleshoot.
Good luck and welcome to the community!

I'm still lost, type:su where? I came from the razr with a locked bootloader, so it was hard to brick it, I love the one and don't need to flash roms at this time but I'd like to have the option to and to be able to wipe cache, thanks

I followed the directions from a few posts above.
First, download android terminal emulator from play store.
Second, move the recovery file to the root of sdcard, noting the filename. (in my screenshot, the file is named the same as yours openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7vzw )
Open terminal emulator. In first window, type in "su" without quotations in the command line and hit enter. Wait for the popup to allow root access and allow it. On the returned command line, type in "cd /sdcard/" without quotations and hit enter. The returned command line should say something like "[email protected]:/sdcard"
Type the command "dd if=openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7vzw.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34" without quotations and hit enter.
Should look something like this:

That adb and fastboot drove me crazy. It was so much easier with Flashify. About 30 seconds. With flashify and Meenova sd card reader no more fastboot and adb for me.

How to add custom recovery

Hey it's pretty tricky I just started with this phone to I ended up using the command prompt on the computer through fastboot if you need more just let me know I know a lot of the responses I got were very very vague

I assume you used fastboot to get S off? all you have to do is go into fast boot and type fastboot flash recovery "name of file.img"
make sure your device shows up when typing fastboot devices

as someone who is new to fastboot and all that, flashify is without a doubt the easiest way.
1. download the img
2. send it to device (or download staright from your phone)
3. flashify, then browse to the file
4. flash.
BAM. less than 30 seconds as said above. did this yesterday.

[Q] How do I flash a .zip with no recovery?

I would like to flash eXtremeBeats but how do I do that with no recovery for the G3?

There is a recovery which is actually an app, don't remember where I found it but that will allow you to flash mods/addons, I wouldn't suggest flashing roms that way though because it is not fail safe.

No idea if it works on the G3

Unzip It and remove the important files... Eg: apk. Install manually
