Look nice and simple i dont have superuser or clockwork but i have s-off for some reason superuser or cw dident flash but i have the dhd rom but no sound all i want is my freakn sound back and to be able to still see check unknown sources how can i do that ??? Just want sound is there a way to flash a kernel or radio to get sound back with out clockwork?
did you even flash the 98sme.zip or whatever it was? i think thats what you didn't do. you seem to have a hard time answering even basic questions or posting in the correct forum. makes it kind of hard to try to help.
i had never rooted an android device before, but i did it yesterday with flying colors. just follow the r34p3rex video, and the read me file from the hack kit., mostly the read me.
Can i flash that without clockwork??
to the best of my knowledge flashing without clockworkmod is a matter of properly formatting the file name to be recognized as a recovery image.

I've seen others comment that renaming the ROM package PD98IMG.zip should allow it to be flashed without CWM. When you boot to bootloader it automatically looks for this file, so I would think that this would work. I have not done it myself, but like I said I've seen others comment that they flash this way
Forget all this my atrix was so simple im just going back stock and using wonder machine to load a few apks for him

I don't get why this is so hard for some people. The readme file lays it out step by step if you want to use the hack kit. There's even a step by step you tube video.
Rooting a phone is not rocket science people. Just take your time, read through the procedure until you UNDERSTAND what each step is telling you to do, if you don't want to take the time to understand how to do something then honestly don't root your phone.

sir you shouldn't own either of those phones, nor should you be rooting or flashing them. i can't agree more with gunny, the instructions were clear enough i got it the first time.

TBH the instructions were very detailed, and had to be followed exactly or else one will not get the right results. Simply adding a space where it shouldn't be could make or break or rooting experience. It takes some patience and diligence to work one's way through to the end. Some just don't have that patience.

so, what you're saying is, it basically boils down to following directions? who knew?
i have already moved your OTHER off-topic thread to general where it belonged...yet you come right back to Development and start another thread? im closing this thread and let this be your last warning.
Just rooted my captivate which was recently upgraded to Froyo through the official Att release. I'm an exteme rookie when it comes to all this, so I'm looking for some help. I want to install a new rom/kernel. Done some research and I'm thinking of trying Cog4. As I said, I'm rooted, I have titanium backup and rom manager. I'm using one click lag fix, which from my research, everyone says is useless, and that voodoo is the way to go. So the question is, where can I get step by step instructions on the easiest way to load the new rom. Can anyone suggest a better rom? What ever your answer is, remember to dumb it down. I'm a chef not a computer guy. Much thanks for the help. I'm loving learning about all this.

Make sure you disable lagfix before you flash.

Disabling oclf also means installing ext2 tools (just got good measure).
Good luck!
I did my first rom flash last week and chose Firefly due to reliability and smoothness. I read all of the threads about each of the roms for several months and read how people liked them plus features each offered. It will really come down to what you want/need in a rom. Besides using xda, I googled flashing roms for captivate and found many videos, etc. that helped guide me along the way. I watched countless hours to make sure I understood not only one way but many to install a rom. Just remember, save your data before you do anything else. Use titanium backup. It is great. Don't assume everything will go okay.
If you are running 2.2 Froyo stock you probably will have to understand how 3E works. If you don't know what this is, search for it on these forums! You have to change this setting before flashing a rom. Good luck!

froyo has 3e recovery.... ugh... again with this today... good thing i bookmarked it...

you researched OCLF and other stuff correctly so ill help you.
from stock
root / ( & allow non-market apps via oneClickRoot 1.8 if you need to sideload tibu or rootexplorer.)
fix 3e recovery (root explorer method best)
no OCLF.
tibu backup user apps and green system files (green ones ok between different roms)
copy your new rom.zip to sdcard root renamed UPDATE.zip
boot into stock recovery > reinstall package!
tibu restore all
done!
your new rom will have a kernel with CWM built in. no need for rom manager or the CWM update.zip just to flash the rom. rom zips now do a wipe as well.
If the next thread I open ends up being about 3e recovery I'm going to boycott both q&a and general... TRusselo you with me?
I used a different method to fix 3E recovery, did not know about the root explorer method but can't find the link now. I placed the file in pda on odin and put my phone into download mode and placed it on my phone. That was the first time I used odin but it was very easy for me. Would be very interested to try it with root explorer if the need arose.

congrats you just flashed a kernel!
oh your not the op. but anyway this is how i do it.
i guess you can root then root explorer the 3e recovery then rom manager then flash but how do you root before you fix 3e, doesn't a meathod that doesnt use recovery require a computer anyway? seems like a lot of work and if you are at the computer anyway odin flashing a cwm kernel seems way better. oh well.
Here is the method I used to root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304
It didn't require a fix for 3E since I wasn't flashing a rom but it was painless. I did a lot of research and found the way I thought would be easiest for me to root and flash a rom. The great thing is there are many ways to do it so you really have to not be looking to get one that doesn't work.

Kinda the same idea here , but I use kernel flasher (i know some say it's a bad thing, but I've never had a problem that wasn't because of my own stupidity).
The only reason I don't use Root explorer or other ones like it is because I only have one phone and can't afford to really mess something up. I play around with Linux on some of my computers but I have more than one and the one I practice code on is a play computer. I think it is good to learn at least some of the coding but for an inexperienced flasher they should either wait until they learn code then flash or use an easier method if they are dead set on rooting and romming their phone.
Hi All,
Been doing reading of the various forums and about to delve into rooting and rom flashing from my transformer. Currently i am running stock 3.1
From what i have been able to tell there are two methods to root. CWM and NVFlash.
I haven't been able to determine what the major differences between them are.
my understanding is that CWM makes it easier to flash multiple roms with out losing data.
whereas if you use nvflash all the data on the device is wiped.
can anyone confirm/correct me?
CWM requires the use of a SD card, whereas NVflash does not
can anyone confirm/correct me?
I have seen that a ROM=OS+Kernel, so if you wanted a different kernel you have to do it after the ROM is installed.
Since I am on 3.1 my choices are:
A. use CWM. I would need to downgrade to 3.0 then i can install CWM and the normal root process
B. Flash with NVFlash directly?
can anyone confirm/correct me?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
CWM isn't a rooting method. It's a way to flash roms, kernels, make backups etc.
The root methods are the original cmd line method with the flashing blobs etc. and the nvflash rooting method.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Also since there is no cmd line way of rooting the original 3.1 rom you have two options.
1. Downgrade back to the original 3.0 rom and root using cmd line method. Not that hard.
2. Nvflash, which is straight up easy. DOWNLOAD a tar file with some images, get into nvflash mode and run a script to apply a rooted rom and it installs CWM for you.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
So it definitely appears that I had a mis-understanding of CWM.
CWM !=Rooting.
Its the CLI rooting that after that allowed me to install CWM.
So I would DL NVFlash from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123429
Download my rom of choice, for an example lets say Prime.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052380 (the NVFlash version)
Hookup my tablet via USB and run the program and follow the necessary steps (AXP mode and what not). No SD Card is required.
Then I have CWM installed and my rom of choice installed.
My next question would be then what? My understanding would be now that i am rooted and CWM is installed i can switch Rom's much easier now using that tool?

As for as then what....wait for the newest roms and flash that. try some kernels, roms and always make backups.
When you say make backups are you talking about making them with applications like titanium backup?

I got a newbie question on android rooting/custom roms, currently mine is stock unrooted. Going through the rooting process would all of the current apps and everything be wiped? next if installing a custom rom is there a method to keep all of your applications without having to reinstall/lose of data?

What are you taking about? It doesn't get any easier then this. Try making a gold card and come tell me how hard this really is. Psssh make it easy
nvflash make it easy, but I enjoy flashing via CWM. Not sure why?
While we wait for the poster's update on how it went, I would appreciate it if someone would help me with two very simple rooting questions:
1) Is it possible to root my Transformer without flashing a new ROM? IE, just override the security to allow the user to have root access and use root required apps.
2) Is it true that the Transformer is still running the android cell standby service, eating up most of the battery life while in standby mode? Can this be removed with root access?
Many thanks
Sorry for the delayed response.
Flashed it and it was real easy as I suspected.
It updated the rom and rooted it and everything.
There are a couple of issues (Browser has crashed 3 times, whenever i press the home button it is putting me on the first screen instead of the middle one and the SOD) but I believe it has more to do with my ROM (Prime 1.5) than the actual flashing process.
Another question I have has to do with CWM, do i need a SD card to use that method to flash a new rom?
Thanks!
This thread convinced me to flash. Didn't know I could like my tf that much more.
I've researched around and there seems to be quite a few methods of rooting my asus transformer. I'm no expert and can understand the methods but want to root my tab without, well, 'rooting' it!!!
What is the most simplest method for rooting my device? Is the build number important to what BLOB version I use? Do I really know what that means?
Dumb it down for me please.
Thanks in advance...
Agreed. I just bought my transformer today, and I've been on the transformers thread for quite some time now and I'm still a little confused about the root process. This is obviously not my first rodeo (hince my signature below). The transformer section needs to be updated and organized better, to the benefit of noobs and androidaholics alike. Can I get a mod to do this, and have the Reference Guide in the development section updated and possibly have better and thorough instructions? Speaking from experience, doing this will prevent alot of un-needed posts clogging up the forum.
So far, from what I gather is that if you just bought one as of this date, and your transformer has 3.1 or 3.2, you have to use the nvflash method to root. If this is true, then my question is, what if I have 3.1, and i want to root, but do not want to install a custom rom at this time? The instructions say that you have to install the prime rom, in which I don't want to do.
While i am no linux user, (having been a windows follower for decades), i find this linux-based root procedure to be extremely user-friendly and a no-brainer to deploy and use.
This is one of the best at hand: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16239991&postcount=1
I just wrote my own unrooting script and that script that you mentioned looks pretty good to me. A lot easier than the method I used to root.
If you have a B7O tablet, you may not be able to use nvflash anymore. There are reports that ASUS changed the secure boot key on the latest versions, so the one used in nvflash won't work.
I have the b6 model with the build no in my signature. Which method do I use? Please advise

I just rooted my transformer using this method. It works. Its the closest you are going to get to a one click method at this time. And my transformer had android 3.1 out of box and i updated to 3.2 before attempting this method.
Lol I have "bricked" my Transformer like 5 times today trying to get the god forsaken Clockwork Recovery Mod installed...
I've gotten really good at rooting the thing, but every time I try to push Clockwork Recovery with nvflash, either the recovery doesn't work (nothing happens after Power+Volume down followed by Volume Up... It just sits there), or the thing won't boot.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. I really want Netflix on this thing, and the only I seem to be able to change out the necessary library is through CWM...

After I used Clockwork Recovery to flash 3.2, Clockwork went away! I even ran the Live CD again to see if I could get it to go. Does Clockwork Recovery not support 3.2 yet?
That i'm not sure of . I chose not to install clockworkmod recovery.

I believe you can, but you can't use a one click root method. Everybody still says it's easy to do, but I don't quite get it. I'm not an idiot, but I just don't understand some of the stuff they say to do. Apparantly you have to "install nvflasher through clockworkmod". I see where I can download clockworkmod, but it's just a bunch of DLL files and an exe I think. Then I saw something about installing drivers and they lost me. My only guess was the drivers it installs when you plug your phone into your computer via the usb port? I don't know. Anyway, after installing the nvflasher, I guess you can just flash roms. I don't quite understand how to do that either though, lol.
Follow the first part of this video to get clockworkmod recovery on your phone. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy9on64jAZs)
From there you can flash roms. In the dev section there is a stock rooted ROM by xboarder.

Just a heads up...I don't think this will work. Unless SOC updated to a new version. Just search the forums use this "how to root after OTA " I recommend NVFLash CWM then if you want 2.3.3 rooted search "stock OTA rooted." Posted by xboarder. Or use a custom rom. This has been asked to many times. Yes it is possible to root some other way. That to is covered by xboarder also. Unless SOC has a new version out with in the last week it wont Work.....read post 4665. But I do have great news......the search options in the forums do work and even Google searches will direct you to xda. If you find a post about something read all of it. Then read the OP(opening post) 3 to 4 time looking at dates and change logs..
So to recap
1) SOC will not work. NVFlash clockwork.
2) use the search/Google.
3) if you read this and did not see xboarders name at least once befor this post, reread.
4) read and reread.....keep reading....the answers are posted.
5) read the OP. Look at dates and change logs.
If you don't like my response to this post go buy an iPhone. The rest of us are sick of seeing the same questions. That is all

Yeah, I might look at it again and give it a try later on. There's still a few things i'm confused about though.
I didn't know you could flash roms without rooting first. But I guess flashing a rooted rom technically does root your phone? It's just a different way of achieving root? Also, if you are gonna flash roms, I thought you had to do the nvflash routine.. which would root your phone anyway.. lol.
I believe some cases that could be true. Root could be needed to install a flash recovery. Our phone use nvidia. The nvflash utility makes it easy. Some one please correct me if I am wrong. When you nvflash you are replacing the factor/stock recovery with CWM. At that point you could put any Rom you like. I kind of see it like a boot disk. Root allows you to see system folders and such. Kind of like having admin rites on your computers operating system. Root also aloes programs to modify system information. To compare this to the common computer root is like an admin account in windows. Unroot is like a user account that companies give you on their computer. CWM is like having a boot disk. I hope I cleared that up for some one.

So with this whole NVflash thing, does that mean you really don't need to root first, because NVflashing is already rooting it for you?

Yes and no, in that order. You can use nvflash to replace the stock recovery with a custom recovery, such as clockworkmod recovery. Using custom recovery, you can flash any rom that's compatible with the phone. Most of the roms have superuser privileges (root) built into them.
Good news i found a root for and it works i am so happy and now i dont have to mess with the eaglesblood rom (now offence) but you do have to flash clockworkmod recovery in order to flash the su root package for my info go to facebook and search LG G2x (official)

Hey everyone, I just want to let you all know that I was able to do the NVFlash, backup everything, and install CM7.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HECK I WAS WORRIED ABOUT!!!! It was so incredibly easy.
CM7 is installed, however I'm having issues with my APN now working and losing its information, I've posted for help on that in another thread.
Thanks again, and to those out there who worry like I did...have no fear....CWM is a neat tool, ESPECIALLY for backup of your entire phone.
Thanks.
John
