[Q] question about rooting vibrant and froyo - General Questions and Answers

hey so hoping that im not bothering u guys with my questions. i did look around and stuff but here goes. ok so i have a rooted vibrant and have vibrant 7 flashed on it. i went berserkmode and got 1 click lagfix and did the whole shabang and my phone is sooo fast. im happy with that. my question is- apparently i have a message saying that tmobile has sent me an update which i am assuming is froyo. what is going to happen? i read that it will lose root so does that mean that lagfix that is installed wont work anymore? will the flashed rom be gone or something? will the kernel go back to the 1000 ghz processor or remain 1200? and at last has anyone figured out how to root froyo?
hopefully you guys can help, and dont mean to be a bother

What rom did you load on when You rooted it? Because this is the link to the "stock" fender rom on cursordroid's post.

I'm currently running that what I'm looking for is the unrooted stock image files there is no benefit of having this phone rooted anyway.

just sell it rooted so the buyer wont have to go through the trouble; how much you selling it for anyway?
Im sorry buddy your screwed. I guess thats another specfic detail I have to add to the fender rooting thread. Once you root, That image is gone. Unless you can find one on the internet and convert it, you will not get it back. Problem is, for us to get recovery to be able to make a back up, we have to wipe the phone clean as is. So once you downgrade its gone.
I think I may just take the fender tut down. its ridiculous at how many people do it, when I have said there is no point, and then ask somethign liek this later.
It can still get OTA updates (over the air) from Tmobile, so just wait about a month and 2.1 will be on there all on its own.
I actually rooted it without your thread. I found your thread when i ran into the no touch problem. I used cursors ROM. I've been working with android phones/ROMs since the G1 came out. I was working on compiling a kernel for the phone because i actually like it(never had a mytouch b4) but now that i N1 i have no use for it and i want to sell it. I guess i'll just have to make a ROM based off one of the 32A port and hopefully the person that buys it of ebay won't know the difference :/
FYI: not everyone here is retarded i know what OTA means -_-

Gime a break dude.. I was just syaing in case because there are a lot of people here who dont know.
And if you were compiling a kernel why did you stop? because the best 3 guys are on it now and they cant get the new drivers to work.
Mainly because I made no progress and im attempting to sell the phone as I said I have a nexus 1 now

not really an answer
I am running the same HTC version as you and used unrEVOked3. I would like to hear why you didn't want to root that way again. I just recently rooted my friends phone using unrEVOked3 too. email me at bobbyoftulsa @ yahoo.com so as not to crowd the thread. I haven't had a problem yet.. just want the opinion so I might start over.

How can I get ics on my phone?

I know that everyone that bought their phone from tmobile can just update it by going through their settings and doing it but mine can't. I currently have a unlocked tmobile sensation and I have at&t on it and the phone is rooted with a custom rom called Android Revolution HD 3.5.2 by mike1986 and it says my android version is 2.3.4. I have no idea what all of this is but a couple of months ago my cousin did this for me on my phone and now I'm trying to get ICS on this. Is there anyway I can do it? Is there a guide or anything?
Thanks for reading.
did i forgot to reply ..or did you have another thread like this ..iirc i replied to this question ..correct me if im wrong
if im correct ..please avoid double posting ...im sure some one will answer ...so no need to have an extra thread

[Q] Canadian Fascinate 4G

I am looking for some updated information on the Samsung Fascinate 4G. I received it as a gift, it is unlocked from Telus and running on Rogers, but it doesn't have root. I have checked it with root checker. I have read every post in the forum regarding this phone, and I know it can be done, but the posts are all well over a year old, some of the links don't work, and some of the posts are contradictory. Does Superoneclick root this phone running Gingerbread 2.3.4, Baseband: T959PTLKH2, Kernel: 2.6.35.7-T959PTLKH2-CL455087? Some say yes, others have had problems. I am leery on trying it because I am not 100% sure I can get someone to help me get it back up and running because it is a bit of a lone wolf. I was all set to try Odin, but again I don't want to be stuck with a phone that isn't working and not sure how to get it running again. Can somebody help me figure out how to root this baby. I would love to see the potential. Thanks for your time.

[Q] Tring to unroot LG G2X

I bought a LG G2X from someone and they failed to tell me the phone was rooted, I have no clue what to do with a rooted phone and honestly I don't care to have that access. Could someone please help me unroot this phone. I know enough about cell phones since I did sell them. When I got the phone it was in safe mode, I rebooted it and did a wipe of the phone and seen that it had superuser on it. I have all the information with the phone but not sure what to do so that I can update this device. PLEASE HELP! I can't afford to brick the phone at this moment since I have no clue what I'm doing. Thank you.
I'll tell you off the bat I do not know how to unroot this device. I will also tell you that this phone is worth its weight in sh*t if its not rooted. If you do a little reading around the stickies you'll see this phone is nearly impossible to hard brick. Most of the time a full wipe and reflash or nandroid save fixes the worst of issues. We have had some amazing developers create awesome software for this device that I think you would love to experience.

Thank you, the only reason i want to unroot is since I can't update my phone it keeps turning off for no reason and sometimes it will take 15 minutes to place a call, I need to shut it off or do a battery pull all the time for the phone to function, thank you very very much for your info I greatly appreciate it I'm thinking it over or I need to figure out how to upgrade while rooted

When you say "upgrade" do you mean the software on the phone or upgrading to a new phone in general? If you do some searching you can find some stock unrooted roms that you can flash I believe. If I were you I would flash vanilla Cyanogen Mod 7. It is the most stable ROM for this device and offers wonderful customization options. The only thing that will not work is blue tooth calling. You can find the latest nightly build at get.cm. If you wish to make battery life better there are great developers for this device who have manufactured some awesome kernels that can be overclocked and undervolted. I'm currently running CM7 with Trinity's MAX 1500 kernel overclocked to 1.2mhz and undervolted across the board. I get amazing battery life and buttery smooth performance.
Use ROM for recovery nvflash method to return to stock. Then you can update either OTA or using the kdz method.

[ROM] ROM for recovery G2X under the NVFLASH

In the absence of a valid argument, 2+1=3 may be used to explain why the g2x did not get the ICS update!
