Hello everyone, I've been trying to root my g1 since last night and nothings working for some reason. I've done a bunch of updates and stuff and nothing seems to work. If someone could direct me to a legitimate guide on how to completely reverse my g1 to it's original state that would help. Also a BIG problem that I'm having is that I've followed an unbricking guide, but now when I try to manually update my phone to firmware 1.6, no matter what I try my phone stays on 1.0. I have no idea why this happens. So if someone could give me a guide to completely reverse my phone and get 1.6 on it, I would appreciate it very much. Also, after I do this, I would like to try rooting it again because I want the wireless tethering on it. If someone could direct me to a good rooting guide, I would appreciate it as well. THANX

It seems, no matter how closely I follow flashing directions, I cannot flash my phone. Not only that, at this point I am confused with what I should be doing. I rooted my phone, now I am trying to get Odin to work - but I have read that when you use Odin, it removes the root from your phone, so why did I root it in the first place?
Past that, Odin isn't working at all. Maybe I don't have all of the drivers installed, but I need help. Anyone out there right now?
Sure, what service? I have gtalk, fb and well that's about it.
Gtalk works, my email is [email protected]
Edit: Cruiserbax helped me a ton, but I still have some questions and he left, is anyone else around who could help?
Hey everyone,
I need some help. I need some help with rooting and upgrading to Froyo on my girlfriend's LG C710h. There isn't a specific section of the forum for this phone so I thought I would post here. I was also hoping some one could help me with doing some data2ext on this phone as well. The internal storage this phone has is just weak and I was hoping I could fix that. None of these guides have to be for noobs as I have a rooted and hacked Desire. Thanks for your help
Scratch needing help rooting, I was able to successfully root the phone using z4root. But if someone could help me with Froyo and data2ext that would be great.
Update question
Hi there, having some troubles updating this phone -- says will not connect / sync to PC suite. It's my friend's phone and she's looked though all through the settings and can't find any way to change it, and with all my internet searching, neither can I (we're not together at the moment, she just called me and asked for help)
Can you help us out? How do we change this setting? Rookie question, I know
Here's the story. I lost my old stock eris and now have my little brother's which he has modded with froyo. I am trying to activate it but can't because when I try to make the *228 call it won't allow me to access the keypad. I had a very nice guy at the verizon store try and he tried everything (and more) than he was allowed to do to help me. A factory reset on the phone (holding down the volume down button and send) fails. So at this point I figure I have to install a factory rom that updates. I have to return my droid eris to stock and I need some help from you guys. I found pretty good instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
However, I have no idea what Amon_RA is or how to get it and reading over it I don't think that's explained in the post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I guess what I'm asking is where do I get Amon_RA 1.6.2 that is referenced in the post and how do I install it. I need an SDK or something too. AGH this is so frustrating not having a phone must be worse than any other sort of withdrawal. I'm ready to pull my hair out. If someone could explain to me exactly what to do that would be awesome.
Okay. I am a virgin rooter, but I have I have been following the various threads for awhile and I am ready to take the plunge. Love the Xoom but would like to be able to read-write micro-SD and have better USB access to external storage and devices (and tinker with OC, etc). I find instructions for various configurations, but not mine. The forum help looks terrific but I would like to start down the correct path. Can anyone point me to a proven method for my configuration (US 3G 3.2 stock)?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I will read and reread (several times) before attempting. Probably won't get to it until this weekend. I'm a bit anxious about using the wifi instructions on a three-G. We'll see what happens...
I'll go out on a limb here and add that YD, may be like myself, I read the instructions tonight, I'm in the same boat, but when I say I'm a Virg. rooter, I mean that I'm I'm totally new to Linux/android and the instructions still don't make sense.
Sooo, is there a dummy version that fills in some of the little details? What I got out of the post was that all the downloads go on your laptop or desktop and after setting things up on ur PC you attach ur xoom via USB? That really is the extent of my understanding.

I'm not much more experienced than you virgins, but I have rooted my xoom and have uploaded a different rom. It was a lot of trial and error. Mostly error. I'd be happy to talk to either of you on google talk and walk you through it if you have any questions. Again I'm not a pro, but some of the instructions are intimidating for the first-timers, and maybe I can help make some sense to it. My gtalk is radi0chik. the 0 is a zero.

If you are willing to downgrade I posted a possible solution at the end of this thread: http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-development/8693-xoom-3g-3-2-first-root-2.html
Post #15
Have you tried this link?
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...-update-your-3g-xoom-3-2-directions-file.html
If you already rooted I followed the instructions under the header "You Must Use this nandroid backup if you are running a non stock Rom. This is already Rooted"
All you're doing there is upgrading the recovery then restoring a backup for 3.2 that is rooted. No wipe needed. It just restores the files you need to be on 3.2. Once I was done it stopped nagging me to do the 3.2 update & said I was up to date.
Done!
I finally got around to trying to root my 3G 3.2 stock. I used the updated tutorial from jase33 at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170760
I had a few minor issues that I was able to resolve without too much difficulty (slow and steady). I see at least one other poster on that thread had a similar issue.
[oshizzle1991] "I was able to unlock my bootloader, but when i try and flash the rootboot.img, i get this error "error: cannot load "rootboot.img"" any ideas? i'm very experienced with adb and rooting lol, its not like i dont have adb or fastboot set up. any help would be appreciated!"
I found a solution but I wasn't able to post it on that thread (Developer's) because I am a newb. Here's what worked for me. After receiving the same error message (several times), I typed this in at the command prompt:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
THEN I continued with the tutorial from where I had been stuck::
fastboot flash boot 3Grootboot.img
It was smooth sailing the rest of the way.
Big THANKS to jase33.
Hey everyone, let me first say that if this isn't in the correct area of the forum, my sincere apologies. Now onto the main question. So, awhile back I rooted my Samsung Replenish because a good friend of mine recommended that I do so. I really enjoyed it at first, but now I'm starting to have the worry of possibly getting caught by my provider. That, or I have to take the phone in for maintenance and they deny me service because it's rooted. So, my basic question really is how do I unroot root my Replenish? I spoke to someone and they told me to flash it back to the stock ROM. But I have no idea how to do that. Thank so much guys, I really appreciate it.
Just flashing back to stock does not actually unroot it. You should probably check under the forum created for your phone for a quide in how to unroot it.
I can't seem to find the thread for the Samsung Replenish.
I'm not sure what it should be but you might need to use a codename of some sort for the thread. If there indeed is no threat there should be a post somewhere around the forums which tells a rooting method also works for your phone. It's not unlikely your phone shares a bootloader with another samsung phone
I'm an extreme noob when it comes to this sort of thing, so if someone could please help guide me through this, it'd be very appreciated. My phone is acting up so I have to take it in. So the sooner it's unrooted, the better.
