Now that I have my phone rooted I'm wanting to theme my phone and possibly get a new rom... Do I have to get another rom to change my theme..I'm coming from HTC so I'm still learning the android..thanks for any help this has been a little complicated
Z4root does not install clockworkmod recovery so you'll have to push it to your phone using the sdk. Check out my thread I started (can I flash froyo beta with out root or clockwork???) It should get you started in the rite direction.

so.. i bought my nexus s 4g today, it will be here in a little over a week. do you guys think we will have full root access and maybe a stock rom that we can tweak by then?
i assume clockwork will be the recovery we will need to use? sorta excited here.
all i need is a stock rooted rom and a custom kernel with sbc and ill take care of the themeing.
we also are going to need a cdma section on here for the nexus s.
Excited huh?
Assuming existing CWM recovery works, all you have to do to root is use fastboot to unlock bootloader and flash CWM recovery, then in CWM flash the SuperUser zip. That's it!
SBC is an HTC thing. You won't find it around here.
Get your Android SDK ready now, and you be rooted within 10 minutes of getting the phone!

actually i was hoping some new nexus s 2.3.4 owner might be able to tell me if gingerbreak.apk works on 2.3.4, because if that works then its perfect for people just looking for root...

like i said we will need a cdma section here for rooting & flashing the recovery/roms.
i hope we get some decent devs for the phone as well. i see netarch makes some kernels for gsm.

Hello, when i was using droidx to install roms i had to be rooted and i had to purchase and use dx bootstrap and rom manager to install roms. With the droid charge do i have to install programs like bootstrap and rom manager to install roms? I see there is a Rom developed that is already rooted and deoxed so do i need to be rooted to install that Rom and is there a way to get back to stock if something goes wrong? Is there a way to unbrick your phone if you get pricked? Is there a way to sbf back like you can with droidx?

This needs to be in general but
For samsung it is different than moto I had a droid 2 you don't have to use apps for this you use odin to flash atm DO NOT use rom manger to back up or restore it will perm brick ur phone for now I would just root with adb until a stable cwm is ready

I have used Odin a flash program for Samsung phones I use it on my charge for all the above questions. Hope this helps
OK, I'm helping a friend with his Csouth showcase... He is rooted using the z4 root method. But i cannot seem to find a valid recovery.. And im coming from an HTC device so the whole samsung thing is alien.. I know what I'm doing but ive never owned a samsung device so I'm asking y'all... What is a recovery I can use, something other than Clockworkmod? Or if it's only Clockworkmod can y'all paste me a link to the latest version. I understand rom manager won't work. And I saw the sticky but something about flashing the recovery from recovery didn't sound right to me.. So I'm asking. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys, i have a motorolla droid 3. xt862. I am running cyanogen mod 7 and it is rooted. i flashed the Blur_Version.5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US file using stock recovery and now the droid 3 bootstrap is gone and wifi wont work. im stuck with cm7 which doesnt work. I would just like to go back to the way it was when i got it stock rom and everything. I have no interest in custom roms because absolutely nothing works and it is all very buggy. Please i need help urgently! i hope im not stuck
is there anyway to go back to gingerbread 2.3.4? i can't seem to get rid of cyanogen mod 7 because i have no bootstrap and i can't install it again.
It sounds like you did an RUU? ? ?
That should have gotten you back to stock. Basically you need to get a working RUU version, of the latest OTA and run that. Or get a rooted stock rom.

Based on what a friend is saying this seem to be the solution. Please reply and tell us if this solution help you @watermummy7.
Yes I've got it working again. I used an sbf file and installed it. Re-rooted and now im good. I just can't see myself ever using a custom rom again. There's not 1 out there that's not buggy.. what are some good hacks/mods for the droid 3? I've heard of ubuntu for android from there website but its still in development

So i recently got an galaxy s2 skyrocket and performed my first android root using the skyrocket easy root zergrush app.
I am running stock 2.3.5 and am on ATT . The only things i have done is install the COM, froze the tether, and un installed a few bloatware items
My question is...
How would i restore this to stock? Un root and all?
Also how would i install 2.3.6?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
2.3.6 got pulled, so you'd have to install a custom rom.

That answers alot!
When 2.3.6 or the next release is published will i be able to get it via a normal "check for updates"

If you rooted using DoomLord's method, then use this.

For 2.3.6 I would flash Silver's zip for the rom. You will need CWM.

Fellow noob
So I'm fairly new to android as well, I would highly suggest taking a look this thread goes over rooting, kernals roms and going back to unroot...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268
Then a couple of the apps that have really helped me out are Titanium Back up and Rom Manager. Makes flashing roms very easy, between easily flashing CWM and rebooting into CWM with just a click. Then TB with it's auto backup's and being able to quickly restore when you've flashed that new rom. (I paid for both of these apps, so I'm not sure what features the free versions have)
I flashed to Silvers rom to get to 2.3.6 and it's working great, was very easy to do!
Anyways, hope this helps!
