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????

What is it and why am I getting this prompt? I'm rooted with 2.3.4
Obviously I shouldn't accept this update but does anyone know what this is?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Hi. I am new.
I just installed the ROM 2.3.4 last night that was posted in the xda forum(upgraded manually from 2.2 on a Unrevoked rooted Dinc).
I installed the 4.06 ROM and I am reading the official was 4.08...
Do I need another upgrade? Or is this 'the' upgrade that is for root users?
Not trying to steal your post ugxvibe. both of our questions might have similar answers.
if you update will you lose root control? What about all the apps? I'm most concerned about not being able to tether...
Just flash wildstangs 4.08.605.2 ota rom. It is the newest ota update, but already rooted.
how do I do that? Through rom manager?
Is there a way to stop the update reminder from popping up without actually installing it? I'm afraid I might mess up my phone and don't want to risk losing everything g on it.
Guys, to stop the prompt from appearing just press install and it will try to reboot but will just error and u will never see it again trust me .

Yes thru rom manager.
You can dissable the notifications by editing your /system/build.prop file. Look for:
ro.config.htc.nocheckin = 0
and change the 0 to a 1. If you dont see that line add it somewhere in the file.
I went to make the nocheckin = 1 modification, but I already had it, and I'm still getting the update notifications. Not even sure how it got there. All I've done is root with Unrevoked, maybe that does the edit?

It should have worked, you may need to clear the cache partition. Or there is another method go to /etc/security and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak
Like what was said above...
If you have Clockwork or some other custom recovery, if you just allow it to update when prompted, it will not install and will cause no other problems. You must have the stock recovery in order for the update to install.
It CANNOT install if you don't have the stock recovery.
But, I would also go into the /cache directory and find the update file and zap it (It will be obvious). I just use ADB and "rm" it from my PC. You could use root explorer or something. Otherwise you will have a big update file just sitting there and hogging space.

I found the file thru root explorer but cannot change it due to message that says it's read only. other options?
Thanks.

At the top of the screen in Root Explorer, change r/o to r/w. Then make your change.

im rooted n using the clockworld mod for roms, I attempted to run the 4.08 update from User wildstang following the instructions but after installing the update n rebooting it just sits at "Dorid incredible" white screen and never boots. I may be doing something wrong here, can someone break it down for me? suggestions?
NOTE: I use CWMR 5X. Some wipe options below are not included in earlier recovery versions. Still wipe what is available the best you can.
1. Put the Rom on the root of your SD Card
2. Compare MD5 Sum
Windows: MD5 Calculator
LINUX: Open Terminal and type: md5sum [path to the rom on your sd card]
Mac: Open a terminal and type: md5 [path to the rom on your sd card]
3. Reboot to Recovery
4. Wipe these:
Main Screen:
wipe data/factory reset - x2
wipe cache partition - x2
Advanced:
Wipe Dalvik Cache - x3
Wipe Battery Stats - optional
Mounts and Storage:
Format-
/boot - x2
/system - x2
/datadata - x2
/data - x2
/cache - x2
5. Install Rom from SD Card by going back and selecting install from SD card.
6. Reboot and enjoy!
followed each step to the letter but still wont boot : /
Ok i changed nothing in the method of installing the rom and for whatever reason it worked!! 4.08 now phone is 10X faster and im loving it. Only issue i see now is i cannot get back into clockworld mod! why is that? i hold down power and vol down for a long time and when release it just starts the boot sequence any suggestions?

I had the same problem, but after two times running the install its still getting the hang. Hopefully I'll get better luck on try #3.
Did you figure out what caused the temporary issue?

OK I've found the file you're talking about and it doesn't have that line in it so I need to add it. I can't easily get access to a computer right now to run the command line on my phone so i have been trying to use the terminal emulator instead. It says I doesn't have a text editor...is there a way to edit via the emulator? Do you wkno which commands to use?
Thanks again
Yep, still having a minor issue with this. I have added the line suggested and I have cleared my cache yet I still get periodic prompts to install the update. I'm not really keen on doing so. Can anyone else suggest a way to stop the (weekly) prompts?
Thanks

INSTALLATION
Auto-Method
1) Extract the contents of the RAR file.
2) Double-click "Install.bat".
3) Prompt will open, click any button to proceed.
4) RSA Fingerprint message will appear on the phone (accept).
5) After installation procedure, type "y" and press enter to reboot into recovery!
1st Manual Method: Initiate ADB and use the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
adb push XXX.img /data/local/tmp/XXX.img
adb shell
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt, type su to get it.[/COLOR]
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.[/COLOR]
exit
adb reboot recovery
2nd Manual Method: Place the img on your phone, then use a terminal emulator app with the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
su
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"](Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.)[/COLOR]
Optional Method: If you want to run some safety checks first, use loki [method here as first option].
INSTALL THEME MANUALLY
1) Connect your phone to your PC.
2) Go into your "internal storage" (internal SD card).
3) Find and open the TWRP folder.
4) Add a folder called "theme".
5) Place the ui.zip into the "theme" folder.
ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to TWRP (without actually resetting).
Method 2: Download the free app "Rebooter" from Google Play. If you have root, you will be able to select to reboot into recovery (among other options).
SLOW WIPE CACHE FIX
1) Once in TWRP, go into Settings.
2) Check off the box, "Use rm -rf instead of formatting."
3) Go back and now go into Wipe.
4) Wipe Cache (or another option with wiping cache).
Credit: Credit goes to Dees_Troy and wolfgart, djrbliss who made all recoveries for this phone possible, WACOMalt for his steps, and thecubed for his auto-install code.
USB-OTG
To access USB-OTG devices, go into the desired area (Install, Backup, or Restore). Select "Internal Storage" at the top. Press your USB-OTG device. It may take a second to show as selected on the screen. Once selected, press OK.
If your device does not show up, you can first try going to Mount and check off the USB-OTG box. If it doesn't allow you to check the box, then it doesn't support that device.
NOTE: It may not work with OTG cables and USB devices...
MISC.
Folder Name - There is an "issue" with the date and time [1970]. This issue is reflected in the backup folder names. There are two options to change a backup folder name:
Go into recovery and select Restore. Select the folder you wish to rename. There should now be an option to change the backup folder name.
Go into your TWRP folder by connecting to a PC or using a file explorer and change the backup folder name.
Time Zone - The time zone may be wrong but can be changed in Settings.

Thank you ! Flash successfull on my D802.

When I used Wipe Cache it took a long time to finish.
Ok thank you

I've noticed the time changing for certain things. One restore I did took nearly 30 minutes! I did restore after that took less than 10. As long as it works, that's all that matters! :good:

Did you have a recovery before this installed? If so, what recovery? Did you have a good WiFi connection when you downloaded the file (i.e @home, @restaurant, etc.)? Did you try any other methods before flashify?
This should be fixable in either case. If you have a backup from before, I suggest restoring. If not, then you may have to follow this guide to unbrick your phone.
Oddly enough, I'll be in Singapore tomorrow, but I won't be able to reply until late night.
Works perfectly. Thanks!

Heya! Restoring as we speak. Home networks pretty stable.
Currently downloading the firmware. I can see that the system was not mounted on TWRP. Hence the Recovery bootloop.
Jumped from the Samsung era, gosh I didnt know LG doesnt have much support.
Once back up, bahhh imma just remain stock till more Devs pops up.
Cheers man.

Hello,
I was trying to edit my note 3 settings.db file to add the MobileData toggle at the notification panel.
After I edited the file, I rebooted the phone and Now I am stucked at the Tmobile 4G lte screen.
I have saved the original settings.db file so I can replace the modified one but the problem is that now that the phone doesn't turn on I can't replace it.
Is there anyway to fix this without installing everything from zero again???
Thank You
P.s
I tried to boot in safe mode but the phone doesn't boot even like this.
I tried to wipe cache, but nothing changed
As for the recovery mode, I can boot there
Boot to recovery and use adb console from your pc to swap the files. Learn some Linux command line commands if you don't know how. Primarily you will use cp target.file destination . file. Make a backup if you want via mv.

Any help will be very appreciated as I never worked with Linux.
My original files are located at Downloads folder of my device.
and the files that I changed are located at /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
What command should I use to copy settings.db from downloads to the databases location
Thnx again for your reply

I am trying something like this:
adb push /sdcard/downloads/settings.db sdcard/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/

Another question, as I am not managing to over pass this error close message from adb.
If I install 4.4.2 again from download mode will I lose my settings, applications and everything else that I have installed before???
Odin doesn't wipe anything, but the re install would overwrite much of your personalizations. Boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup, then boot into download and Odin and restore. When you're up again, download nandroid manager from play store and select what you want to restore from your nandroid backup you made. Be sure to save it in a persistent partition, external SD if possible.

Is there any program that I can install to my computer and allows me to browse my phone files even when it is in recovery mode???
Adb, like I suggested first. Look on YouTube if you're not sure how to use it.

Thnx again for you help

Hi folks,
I've rooted the stock lollipop ROM on my M8, how do I delete the stock apps? They seem to come back after rebooting.
That's because system write protection enabled.
You have these options :
1. install a custom kernel like elementalx which has system write protection disabled.
or.
2. install TWRP recovery .. in recovery mount system then go advance - file manager - browse to which file that you want to delete and delete it.
... Or make your phone S-OFF and get rid of all of them.
