does anyone know how to do this? i have used superoneclick, AIO captivate tools and OCD. nothing works

Backup your stuff and flash Cognition. Easiest way. You may want to stay stock, but trust me, it's much better.

Agreed. Read what cog has in it, it comes with side loading enabled

I got it to work through superoneclick even though it failed the 1st 2 times I did it. I restarted the phone did the non market app fix and then restarted again and applanet worked. It is still a little buggy but it works.

I agree with flashing Cog.
However, I am currently trying to see how far I can get with the stock 2.2.
With that said, I used "SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse" to root and allow non-market apps. If it does not work, remember to right click the .exe and run as administrator (if you are on Win7).

i want to keep it stock because of the just incase something happens and i need to use the warranty or insurance i want to get it back to stock in the matter of 2 clicks to backup all the att bloatware and unroot so i can send it in.
i know there is another method to flash back to stock but i dont really understand flashing different roms and kernels and want it to be as simple as possible. if i find a real need to flash a different rom and kernel i will learn more about it. im just not fully educated on much of this stuff.

Seriously, man, getting back to stock is as easy as that. All you have to do is download Odin one click, put your phone in download mode, click start, and bam, you're at stock. If you need me to walk you through flashing ROM's, I can later on today. It's not as hard as you think.

where do i download the rom for cognition
what are the pros and cons to cognition and the known bugs in it
why choose this over other roms? why not flash to 2.3.3?
will i have to re-download all of my apps and settings etc.?

Your welcome and once again, good job!

I think the intention behind this is great, but I do worry that including PST, Heimdall, and two different builds of Odin is going to lead to more confusion, not less, for new people. You'd be better off just including one build of Odin and Heimdall, I think.
I'm not sure why people even use PST, as it's just needlessly complicated.

Some people use PST and seem to get it to work better then Odin. I myself have never used it. The 2 version of Odin are for future and retro builds that some of the devs use. And Heimdall was a preference thing. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll talk to the rest of the devs today and revize the package. v2 coming out tonight.

CHARGE KIT v2 now ready for download.
Update:
latest ODIN
Stock Froyo, Stock Gingerbread.
Smaller download

Like was stated before, the intention is good. You may want to think about having a separate kit for both froyo and gingerbread. I can see someone now flashing gingerbread and the voodoo kernel.

I'm gessing you are trying to get back into "recovery" so hold down vol up + home key + power You will see samsung . Continue holding. It will come go away then come back. When you see samsung the second time. let go of all three buttons. It will finish by booting into recovery. From there use the kernel .zip file that you saved to your sdcard and flash. All set, you now have the kernel of your choosing.

Great idea. You should include the charge PIT file as well.

somehow permanently updated, is root possible?

I'm updated to GB and can't revert. I think I know the answer to this because I've been watching superoneclick like a hawk waiting for version 2.0 but no sign yet. I just was wondering tho, if there was some serious forceful way to wipe my g2x and flash stock rom thru nvflash?

you can't revert to what? and why can't you? who or what is stopping you? you don't flash roms through nvflash. just recoveries. i know the o2x can flash roms with nvflash, but i'm not sure about g2x. correct me if i'm wrong.

just reflash clockwork mod with the one click flash app. then flash any rom you want.

Ok, if you have not been able to figure out how to do it with all of the posts written here, all of the stickies, all of the replies to your pleadings, then PLEASE...don't root. Keep your phone just as it is, or have T-mobile replace it with a stock version, as you don't appear to have the capacity to successfully mod a cellphone.

thank you for your condescending advise. i hope one of the xda mods makes you xda police. and i hope the baby your wife is expecting is born healthy and energetic.
to reiterate i cannot flash anything thru nvflash(clockwork nor stock froyo) and i cannot root with superoneclick. i updated by using a KDZ_FW_UPD.exe app that was linked in these very forums. this app apparently is translated from korean. i was not able to flash the new .kdz version by normal means--i had to go into the submenu "read phone information" and click "upgrade start" there...that installed gingerbread and unrooted me.
rather than evoke more eager and stoic xda members' attempt to distinguish themselves as intelligent comprehending human beings i simply instead wish for my thread to by deleted lest this be another blight on our holy xda forums g2x section where from nothing but the best forums posts stems from. because we could probably use another "what do you think guys? should i trade back my sensation for the g2x i once owned already now that gingerbread::drooool:: is finally out because i didnt know there already were gingerbread roms out there and instead i just had to tell the whole world "goodbye lg, never again, cry river?""
i am still on my first g2x and have never called tmobile complaining about screen bleed or anything else that seems to be only perpetuated by retarded threads in this g2x general forum that i sift thru on a DAILY basis while trying to find useful information and possible help out someone with advise from my own experience in similar situations

i updated the same way, then flashed back to cwm. nvflash gave me issues,although it always worked before, but one click flasher app flashed it fine.

uninstall all lg drivers. reboot. reinstall drivers http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/drivers/LG_T-Mobile_Android_USB_Driver_v2.2.zip

@Daffydukc, I had the same issue. The good news is that since you already updated using the LG tool, you have the newer baseband. Right now, the "hard part" is getting CMW through NV flash back, which will let you flash whatever rom you want. I suggest the pre-rooted version of the same gingerbread update from xboarder56 over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
For now, try what crazythunder suggested and uninstall the LG drivers that the LG update tool might have deposited on your system and reinstall the drivers that worked prior to your update. Take out the battery, hold down vol up AND vol down, plug in the usb cable and see if your computer see's your phone. If it doesn't work, try again (it didn't work for me the 1st time either)
I'm now rooted with new baseband and liking it so far, goodluck.

THANK YOU!
great advise with the uninstall and then re install lg drivers i had not considered lg update tools overwriting the drivers that allow flashing CWM with drivers that arent really conducive to flashing CWM. i did that, and i read somewhere a suggestion to press the power button as well as the volume buttons.
i cant tell which of these two things was what did it for me but i'm so grateful for the help. i was sure to hit the thanks button for you guys!!

Rooted giingerbread leak available on TBH app

Just wanted to tell everyone that TBH released the rooted gingerbread leak on their app a while ago, here's the steps to install it:
1. Sbf to be completely stock, you must have all the stock apps and be on the 2.4.330, so if you sbf to the .29 firmware, update it to the .330 firmware
2. Root your phone and install bootstrap, don't boot into recovery yet!
3. Install the TBH app (if you don't have it, donate to team black hat to get it) and download the 2 files for gingerbread, there's a part 1 and part 2, don't rename them.
4. Boot into clockwork recovery using bootstrap
5. In bootstrap, flash part one of the update, then immediately after without restarting, flash part 2.
6. Restart, you should get the red M logo and boot into gingerbread, if you bootloop boot into recovery by holding the x button on your keyboard when you turn it on and then hold the vol up+down buttons to unlock the menu, once in the menu do a factory reset.
Rooted GB is pretty fast and stable, haven't encountered any bugs yet, battery life is pretty solid (a bit better than froyo), I'm in the process of freezing apps, its difficult now that they added a lot more bloatware that, I have to figure out which of the new apk's to freeze without breaking anything, just a heads up.
Hope you all enjoy your leaked gingerbread!
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL running Leaked Rooted Gingerbread!

I installed the non rooted version of this and it's been working perfectly since last night. No issues at all so far and the battery life seems better but it's still too soon to tell.
All in all, I'd say this is a great release and appears to be better than Froyo even with a ROM. I'm just currently waiting for a way to root it that doesn't involve me having to flash it again and starting from scratch.

You may wait a long time. ..
Any method that can root this without using TBH's files will require a new exploit for GB.

Dumb question, since I'm currently running a DINC2. What's the bootstrap? I've still got my old D2G, and want to put it to use now that this is leaked, but need to learn some of the terminology over here.
Thanks!

not gonna happen, currently the only way to get a rooted version on the other moto droids (except the OG droid) are to install a rooted version, theres no way to root from within gingerbread.

Hmm... I didn't know that last part there... I guess I should install the TBH version now then before I do any more customization on it. That way It doesn't hurt so much to SBF again.

so basically no need for the TBH root app?

I've seen that posted on some other sites as well since this morning. Apparently it's the same files from the TBH app. I believe you only needed the app initially to download them and nothing else so now you can flash them on your own.

the rooted version on the tbh app was released first, if you know tbh you know that when they have a leak, they like to release it on the app first, then maybe a day or so later release it to the public, when i made this post it was only available on the app.

I've been asking on My Droid World, but I haven't gotten any replies yet. I need the /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks from the new release, because I altered my cacerts.bks to add CAcert's root and now the checksum doesn't match, and therefore this won't install. Can someone send me their cacerts.bks?

There you go.
But this is from stock 2.4.330 version which I presume is what you actually need for the verification to complete.

[Q] Stuck on CWM Recovery Everytime

Hello everyone,
It's my first time witnessing this issue, I do have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. So I decided to upgraded Eclairs to Gingerbread. Which I did.
Somehow I downloaded the CM7 ROM in the SGS 4G section, I have flashed it and now everytime I click "reboot system now", it's just putting me back to CWM Recovery over and over again. Now I got tired of it, so I tried flashing the SlimBean in hopes of making my device work the way they should, but it's the same result. When I cleared data, flashed the ROM and Gapps and when I click "reboot system now", It shows the boot screen but then it transferred me back to recovery. I don't really know what to do.
Urgent help needed. Thank you all.

can you acess into download mode?

Yes I can, also tried it with CM9, same results it shows recovery everytime. I need some help. :crying:

You say you went from Eclair (Did this phone even come with that? I thought it started with Froyo. Huh. At least, mine did.) to Gingerbread. Is the Gingerbread you started with CM7, or did you start with one that actually has normal GB bootloaders first? Because if you haven't yet, as with any major bootlooping issue, you'll want to use a proper GB one-click. If you failed to double-flash one of those to get the GB bootloaders earlier, do that ASAP. And hope hard that they come.

You are missing the boot loader if you went straight to Gingerbread. Use Heimdall One Click to flash to Gingerbread. Also click on the bootloader option as well when you flash.
