okay i did the 4 step root. the easy root, i have the ota update. still on android 2.1, i have completed it, it showed me the new "quietly brilliant" screen and i have new apps now, no super user app though. so i tryed downloading apps that take a root, and it says "your app will be downloaded" it doesnt show it in the notification bar, i have to go back to the app. and then it just says downloading but never finishes, after i did the root i never flashed a custom rom or any of that, i didnt think i had to? any help? if i need to flash a rom can someone give a link to any, maby cm6? idk, but it wont let me download any aps. i also tried going to 4shared and it wouldnt download those either. you can email me if you like.
okay nvm, after i installed the rom "finisher" it fixed all my problems, IE wifi hotspot not working and no icon showing i had total root. all fixed now, one more quick question, i want to install the new 2.2 froyo leaked, not the ota one, will i lose my "free" wifi"" and also how do i need to go about doing that? steps? system reset, flash new RA_recovery. clear all cache and then flash the rom?

That's a rooted version of the official 2.2 update, so you will still be able to get wifi tether. Just follow the steps (ASSUMING YOU HAVE AN EVO, you never did specify but it's the only phone that had a 2.2 update recently that runs CM6 AFAIK). This assumes you already have a rooted phone with NAND unlocked already.
lol read my user name over there <---<---... lol yeah like i said i have the rom finisher, its on youtube, pretty BA... and i obvously have nand unlocked sense i have a different rom on my phone, right? lol
hey i dont have the new base band, and i know i need to download the wimax and the new radio after i put the rom on my phone, but which zip file do i use for my rom the V3? thats under the MIRROR folder? or the zipped one that is before the wimax and radio zips? (its the first zipped file under his instructions)

So I want to do the new sw update but can't because I deleted some stock apps so the checksum wouldn't match and a hard reset won't restore them I guess so I would flash a stock rom but am I right thinking there isn't one yet? So how can I get to an original rom and then update or maybe make the new update work?
D2G stock rom
I don't know if the update will be compatible or not but from my understanding this is pretty much the stock rom that Motorola handed Verizon to put all their bloatware on then release the phone. I did load this rom on my d2g and it works flawlessly. Might be worth a try, not a direct link but will get you headed in the right direction. The rom manager gives you the opportunity to load the barebones stock google rom or the Vanilla based version, it just downloads and flashes, works perfect I didn't even have to re-activate. It is already pre-rooted so maybe the update won't work but I just wanted to make you aware of it. I work at verizon and did the update to the floor model and my dad's stock d2g also and didn't notice any difference really. I think vzw is just fixing some of the bugs that they created anyway so having the stock rom may end up with the same result, a rom that functions perfectly, good luck!.......droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/106629-rom-fission-2-4-droidx-vanilla-generic-android-aosp-like-fission-rom-manager.html
@evil yeah im kind of in the same boat, let me know if srensber solution works for you.
I froze a bunch of apps with Titanium Backup and renamed some stuff with Root Explorer. I recently just re-named everything i changed back to the factory stuff (bak -> apk) but it still doesnt seem to do any good.
I did create a number of back ups using Rom manager but i cant seem to find out where they are located and how to restore them. hmm. Not sure what to do.
Ah i realize what ive done wrong ... i didnt know you had to have bootstrap installed along with clockwork recoveryy in order to make a backup hmm. Going to need a rom of stock d2g lol.
clockwork recovery installs a boot hijack, which might be the culpirt

I cant seem to find the download link anywhere... and after you loaded this rom did you try to update to 2.4.3 ?
If anyone else has any input about this please help!
All,
disclaimer: I am a n00b.
I have bought a used Nexus S a while back with the Modaco ROM and ClockworkMod. I now want to wipe it clean, and go back to the stock google ROM 2.3.4. I have looked high and low, but can't seem to find instructions on how to do that!
All i've found was high level instructions: wipe phone, boot from recovery, load new rom..
Can anyone point me to a detailed guide on how to do so?
Thanks
Hmm i want to know 2 how to do that
ik have a problem nog i can sent email with gmail
but not my own mail after update 2.3.4. it dont work
@ ek0 Where dit you find the stock rom ??

Well I was hoping I would get the stock rom link in the instructions, but I also found links to the rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
I believe you can flash stock roms from the Rom Manager app.
I'm not sure about this, but I think the stock rom might replace clockworkmod with the stock recovery when you reboot.
Also unlocking/locking the bootloader wipes everything (including the sd-card so copy everything you might want onto your computer).
You can also do it using a program called odin. Search for the thread on that.
WTF!?
I just downloaded 2.3.4 and installed it via ClockworkMod, my phone never lost any of the settings/data/apps and in the status Android Version reads 2.3.4. I'm amazed! i thought i'd have to reinstall everything, re-set everything up... what am i missing here?!
I mean not that I am complaining! this saves me a whole lotta work, but can someone explain what i'm missing?
(I didn't wipe the phone, just installed the ROM)
I got a quick quite similar question, i am on a 2.3.4, but i want to go back to my oh so awesome nscollab, is there any problems or just flash?
just flashing was okay for me, i didn't wipe so never lost any of my apps/settings. YMMV
Okay ... Don't laugh at me !! Have had the Charge since release date. This whole time I have been running stock rooted EE4 with CWM Voodoo Lagfix. I had to have a replacement phone sent to me as my CDMA radio died. Phone still worked on LTE radio. CDMA would be intermittent at best.
On to my question. I am planning to give GB a try and I am reading in threads about the toolbox and to access it via Term? I am assuming term is terminal function. This part is entirely new to me. Could someone point me to some term primers so I can research this?
Also, I have downloaded and extracted my Bloated_EG2__Gingerbread_ ODIN. Then I have
GummyCharged_GBE_2.0
GummyChargedGBE2.1
CWM_Recovery4008
I am assuming the EG2 includes CWM. If not, which will be easy enough to find out when I go to enter recovery, I will install the CWM I have downloaded. From what it appears to me, GBE_2.1 is an update to GBE_2.0 .... Thus I assume I need to install 2.0 followed by 2.1
Does this include voodoo lagfix? Or is that not needed when I up the phone to GB 2.3?
Just trying to sort this out and be informed before I start flashing this thing. The phone is stock out of the box EE4 as of right now.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx In Advance,
Steve

EG2 is really old, you may want to go with a more recent GB leak like EP1Q/EP1W/EP3H... second no rom packages include CWM but are for the most part all rooted, CWM you will have to install with Odin after the rom then flash Gummy 2.0 and the 2.1 patch with a bootup between each rom flash to make sure it worked properly
edit: probably should've answered more questions Gummy 2.0 has a kernel with voodoo lagfix so it will enable after flashing the rom on first bootup, also the command terminal is fairly straightforward to use, I think the Gummy rom threads have a how-to in the OP on basic terminal commands... also as for your radio not working, it was probably a 4G sim issue as the CDMA and LTE radios are both controlled by the sim so if one doesn't work the other won't either, there may just not be as strong a CDMA signal so it seemed like it wasn't working
Great info thanx .... now when I go to update to 2.0, from the reading and even watching the video, I am going to delete all caches prior to flashing the 2.0 ... with the 2.1 just being a patch, can I just install it after verifying 2.0 works? Or should I delete the big 3 again before that one?

just cache and dalvik I think (might not even need that but I'd probably do it to be safe), don't delete data or it will wipe Gummy off and you'll have to reflash
I recently rooted and started applying roms to my nexus s. Everything was going fine until my network data stopped working.
Have tried to unroot and return to stock but cant seem to get it right. whenever I try to use clockwork recovery any update zip i apply fails. Im currently on:
version - 2.3.1
baseband - 19020AUCKF1
kernal - 2.6.35.7-g7f1638a [email protected](hash sybol that isent on my mac keyboard)1
build - GRH7
I am based in the UK and think nthat my radio could be wrong?
When I factory reset in 2.3.1 i get the official update to 4.4 which dowloads, verifies then on installation stops and wont complete.
I am confussed with all the terminoligy and find the info on here overwelming to follow correctly.
on another forum i got the response that if i dont understand the process then I shouldent be doing this. Fact is I thought I did know what I was doing until it went wrong.
Could somebody be good enough to help me through this so I can restore my nexus s to working order please?
Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
Check your phone model, behind the battery. You probably have a gt-i9020 since you are in the UK.
Probably you need to flash the correct radio. What's a good choice? If you do have 9020, anything in the list with kb3 in it.
Kb3 has no limit to how fast it can upload data, which can be a benefit depending on how you use your phone. Most people would choose kl1 which is the most recent.
Download and flash in cwm recovery. Reboot.
Let me know if that works for you.

can you make calls? if you can, check your apn settings, settings>Data and networks>More>APN and delete everything, and retype the correct values for your carrier. if calls doesn't work, follow the post above. ^

Got the phone from a friend of a friend.
It has the cyanogen mod on it (not sure which one)
Been using it for a few months and loved it, but now the phone is really acting weird, screen won't open/delayed etc
I would love to unroot this phone and just go back to regular stock that comes with the g2x but can't really find any good source to tell me how.
Am I screwed since I wasn't the one to root this phone?
Just figured out I have version: Cyanogenmod-7.2.0-p999
Add on:
I've tried to download the stock and I get this
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
Try a different cm7 rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
In all honesty I would just flash the latest vanilla version of CM7 from get.cm. Its the most reliable ROM for this phone and way better than any stock firmware released by LG. There's tons of kernels you can flash also if you're into overclocking and undervolting like I am. However the stock cm kernel does the job.
ishoid large
I appreciate the suggestions, however it still does not relate to the more pressing problem of how I can not flash the rom. As pointed out in my first post, it comes up as
"Add on:

That sounds like a bad download.

It was a pretty old link, is there a link to which rom I should download for stock?
out of curiosity...did you do a full wipe (factory data reset, both caches and format /system) before trying to flash the stock rom? I believe Buru, one of the dev's for the g2x has a stock rooted 2.3.4 rom available for download in the dev section. There's a few of them out there.
If all else fails you could always check out ROM for recovery here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644&highlight=search+this+forum

I was literally about to send a post here about what you mentioned.
It appears I did have an old download.
I did indeed do a factory data reset, both caches and the delvik (forget how it's spelled) wipe.
I had then succesfully installed back to factory.
so far the only problem I notice is phone calls. it's like a broken TV + fax line noise that is very loud. Any Ideas?
What you need to do is flash the correct baseband fix from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776843

You my friend are amazing!!!
Now basically every now and then both on wifi and slightly when not on wifi, I can hear myself echo.
Also for some reason, when I try to video skype someone, my video does not work.
Any suggestions?
so far, glad to have this phone working better than it did before!
The video thing is kinda weird. Which rom are you running? If you're trying to run anything above gingerbread there's tons of issues with video. Mainly that it doesn't work.
The echo thing I think i've seen people mention that but I'm not sure where. I can't remember whether or not it was resolved. All I can think of is some setting somewhere and something about dual mics... yeah. That's all I got. Maybe someone else will remember.
1 more thing if anyone can help. I know I've seen it some where, but I'm not able to use wifi to make calls/send text. I know there was something I had to download but can't find it again.
