First off, I am not new to forums..this is just the first time I have had enough difficulty and problems to actually post on a site, so I knew that xda would be the best site to post on.
My first question is this..I am currently running a rooted droid with cynoagenmods cm 7. Everything was running smoothly until I tried installing an update( update number 11 to be exact). I used rom manager to do it, the update downloaded just fine, but when I chose the option boot into recovery and install update nothing happened. I tried flashing a different rom amd no luck. Searched around awhile and couldn't find it, so any help would be appreciated.
While I'm here, one forum I read told me to delete all my super user data..pretty elementary but how do I grant su permission for rom manager? If possible id like to do it through terminal terminal emulator.
Id really appreciate any replies..I'm pretty new to rooting and downloading roms so thank you to anyone thatt helps out!

Hey guys, im sorry to start a thread. Ive looked everywhere for a solution but i cant find one. I rooted my phone yesterday and even managed to install some new roms. One of those rooms seems to have disabled my market completely. I was not happy with the recovery program i initially installed, so i unrooted back to 1.5 again. I did not think that my market would be disabled after the sapp.nbh, but it is. I want to re-root it, but i can not download a manager off the market. Is there anything I can do? or am i stuck with 1.5 forever. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
that definitely should not have happened
must have been a problem with the rom
I've been running rooted roms since last summer without any problems
What message is the market giving you when you try to open it up? Maybe there is something wrong with the sign in. One thing that you can try though is a different sappimg file to unroot it back to 1.5.
Hope this helps!
Hi yes i am a noob i just currently unlocked and rooted my nexus one. My question is i have terminal emulator installed and when i type su enter it goes to the superuser permission and says su request and my keyboard pops up but it never allows me to do anything. What am i doing wrong? I also would like to know how i can do a back up of the stock rom with root as a back up. I have heard of nandroid but cant find a place to download it or a how to. Finally how do I install themes? Sorry for the questions coming from iphone 3g where this could be done using winterboard.
Thanks ,
Jason
Anybody i know it is probably simple but i have searched but cant find it ?

The su popup reminds me of a bug from the days before cyanogen created a rom but when he gave us the "making bacon" update that added root and what not.
What is your ultimate goal, are you going to be flashing a rom (ie cyanogenmod 5.0.x)? That will fix your root issues, among many other enhancements and fixes.
Easiest way to nandroid is with an appropriate recovery image. Check out Amon_RA 1.7.0 link here. Read instructions three times, flsah it, then you just boot into recovery and create a nandroid backup.
And themes are rom specific, there are a lot for CyanogenMod and Enthomer (2 major nexus roms). But you flash them via recovery screen, same way you would flash a rom/update.
Also it is stuck on su request for metamorph.
Ok I would eventually like to flash a rom but how will i be able to update and is the cynangon one the best?

This thread probably belongs in the general forum....
It's all preference. Personally I think it's the best, and most widely used, but read around and check out the different options that different roms offer and decide what one sounds best to you.
How will you update what? Whenever cyanogen (if you go with CyanogenMod) releases an update, download it and flash it. You will get updates MUCH more frequently and faster then stock will ever get.
Hello,
I am new to the forums and android in general. Anyways, I am wondering if any one could advise me on the best steps to root and update my oldish android phone. It is currently on android 2.2.1 and has no support for 2.2.3 which is why I believe I need a custom rom.. I have looked thru numerous threads and sources but have yet to find a method i fully understand and trust, as i hear it.. you guys are very helpful and i am hoping that is true cause im about to pull my hair out at this point
Thanks in advance for any help, its appreciated very much.
Its great that you are showing interest in this. (Edited out, the device is stated in title xD).
Rooting shouldn't be as hard at installing a custom ROM. Older devices are rarely supported nowadays, unless it's really popular like the HTC Wildfire or something.
The best way to root your Optimus C is by using GingerBreak. Many users that have your device use that.

Thanks for taking the time to repond/help. Anyways, after some more research I think I found a easy root solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13086954
This method seems both easy and very sraight forward. Could any one please confirm? Id just like a lil insight before taking the plunge. lol
Note* I would link the posts stating this does work to gain root access but i cant post outside links untill i have 10 posts on XDA.
Don't worry, the root method should work just fine.

Ok, got it rooted
The next step would be to download rom manager and make a custom recovery using clockworkmod?
Btw~ incase someone is confused in the future. The root procedure was a few simple steps.
Before doing these steps make sure usb debugging is active. Also temp disable your anti-virus as it will flag the apk as a virus, This is a false positive.
1. Download the file from the first post in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049944. (the easy way for me "since i don't have a usb cord" was to click the QR code link on the first post and scan it with one of the many free qr scanner apps from the play store.
2. Navigate to the download and install the APK.
3. Open Gingerbreak.
4. Click "root" and wait for your device to reboot. Thats all :laugh: "if the process takes more then ten minutes reboot your device and run it again"
5. You can go ahead and uinstall/delete the apk once you have sucessfully rooted.
The next step would be to download and install the devices custom recovery.
Don't just install any, again go to that site I had provided you with earlier that have the stock and custom .imgs with steps on how to install it.

Ok so.. I have a problem, I was about to setup a custom recovery when all of a sudden Super User decided to update and now im a little lost. I have still have root acess and all of my root only apps are working perfectly fine. but every time i use a root app or reboot my phone since the SU update i get a message saying my binary files need to be updated. I try to update them and it fails every time, I have looked though a few threads and the only fix i could find was to use busybox installer. But.. busybox will not install on my device. How do i go forward with this? I don't want to mess anything up.. specially since i just thought i had it all figured out. :crying:
Nevermind, I guess i found a decent work around, I uninstalled the update and forced it to not auto update. I don't know if this is a bad practice but it seems to have solved the issue.
I like LG' phones. I am using LG P500 and very like...:good::angel:
Hi all,
For some reason xda wont accept my older account (10? Posts) so had to make a new one
You can find my previos predicament under (meta tags hopefully fpr everyone else that had my problem) "root saga s3" i beleive. I solved it the first time using kingo and a pc, the second time i used keymaster.apk to root without pc. Worked fantastically except for the foreign language both throughout the rooting process and using the su that came with. I tried to replace with supersu and super user but both ended up failing but a rerun of keymaster worked.
I have two requests;
How to install supersu preferably, as i know this well. Im no stranger to root, or developing my own patches, just not wirh this
And secondly, a flashable zip of a barebones stock rom. Its freely available on the mf website. Kernels and CWM an obvious bonus, but beggars cant be choosers.
Ill do as much as i can my end to help, and happy to flash as many times as needed.
Thanks all in advance
Mat
Yes indeed, I'm an Android n00b, but not a total n00b. Sincere apologies if this has already been addressed/solved. I've been lurking around these forums for a couple of weeks now (and read all the recommended threads and joined obviously) and haven't been able to find a solution. Kingoroot seemed to work (both pc and android), but only upgraded to 4.1 jellybean. The minimum required is 4.4 so essential apps can be installed. At this point, just knowing whether or not it's possible would be great.
My search actually started two months ago when I picked up this phone. Extensive searches have yielded results, but most have been non-functional like this site...
https://koselas.com/how-to-install-custom-rom-on-kyocera-torque-e6710/
and the ones found on the forums here just didn't work or the question was never answered. (here for example...https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/kyocera-torque-e6710-unlock-t3241129).
Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all of you who even bother to read this and have a great day.

Howdy, I found the method which worked for me toward the end of this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204320&page=60

I don't recall if FR 1.60 or 1.90 will work, but ONLY one of those two will work. You need to reboot immediately after trying and then install SuperSU from the Play store, as Framaroot will NOT install SuperSU as it says it will.
After you install & opened SuperSU to update binary, follow my instructions I posted in the link to get hotspot working. Make sure you choose grant all w/o notification in SuperSU because it will NOT pop up giving you the option to grant root access request.
It works for sure. If you are having trouble, try a hard reset prior to rooting.
It should also be noted there is no stock ROM to flash if you screw up, so make sure you backup the files you remove from /system should you choose to uninstall bloatware.
Beyond that, it must be user error. I have rooted 7 Torques on various firmwares, including 3.000sp with no difficulty other than trying to figure out which version of FR works.

I used Framaroot version 1.9.0 on my Kyocera Torque E6710 running Android 4.1.2 (stock), Software version 3.000SP.
Framaroot version 1.9.3 didn't work for me.
LMK if this method works for you
@VinGrif...
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer this question. At the moment, I've got a large backlog of work and other projects so, it may be another week or two before there's time to do this. Once completed, I will update on the success (and which worked). Just wanted you to know that your answer was appreciated, but I'm swamped for the holidays. Thanks again!
