Hello Everyone.
New to android. Had this phone 5 days, Droid inc 2.2 rooted with unrevoked all was good. Flashed chingys re-engineered from rom manager. It didnt work. Now recovery screen options other than reboot take me to hat screen and freeze. Also titanium force closes upon install, as does rom manager. I checked wipe and backup from rom manager before flash but cant find backup. Phone works as normal, phone text internet etc. Just cant do anything in root. SU is in my app drawer. Please help! Im getting nervous.

So here is my issue. I have a Droid X. Used EasyRoot to root before 2.2, once 2.2 came out i ditched easyroot, DLed 2.2 and then did the Droid2 Method of installing root. Since I finally got froyo (and figured Ginger woudlnt be out for awhile) i figured i would try my hands at adding some themes. I installed ROM Manager and Bootstrapper (both paid) and flashed clokworkmod and played around with them for a day or so, and kinda figured it wasnt really what i wanted to get into, and decided to go back to just plain root.
So i UNinstalled both root manager and Bootstrapper, and did a batt pull... Now everytime i do a batt pull the "clockwork recovery" screen comes up asking if i want to recover my device. Why is this still on the phone if i uninstalled ROM Manager? There is a folder in my files labeled "Clockwork" but im almost afraid now that if i delete it ill get a Bloop.
How do i go about getting clockwork off my phone? Also, with the Droid2 root method, if i just remove the root, will clockwork and everything else go with it? then i can just re-root?
Clockwork Recovery is seperate from ROM Manager.
ROM Manager can be used to control Clockwork Recovery, but it is NOT CR.
I don't own a DroidX, so I don't know if it's possible to get back to the stock recovery, but no matter what, you shouldn't have to worry about anything.
Clockwork should stay on your phone pretty much regardless of anything else. Even if you factory restore your phone, it'll still be there because it's your recovery partition.
Basically, think of it as that message on an HP/Dell/Others that says "Press F11 to enter recovery mode" and from there you can reinstall a factory refresh of windows.
Same thing here, except you'd restore a backup you've made previously.
You could also flash a ROM you've found online.
You could also initiate a factory reset, but if you've messed with anything in the /system directory, it might not work.
That makes sense. So I guess my next question is Ifi have to take the phone back to vzw will that flag it as voided? Even if I remove root? And will I have problems with any future OTAs?

I've rooted my desire using r6-desire-root-alt and flashed cyanogenmod6; then after 2 days the phone encountered a problem and returned back to htc rom!!
The superuser widget is not longer available! So I do not know if my phone is still rooted or not! can the phone be rooted without a superuser widget?? The clockworkmod recovery still available!
How the phone returned back to HTC rom on his own?? Can the phone un-root itself automatically?
Thanks
I have not heard of a Desire doing this. You said it had a problem and then it was gone. Maybe you restored the wrong image from Nandroid? Anyway, if your recovery boot is still available restore a back up of your rooted phone. You did take a backup after you got it how you liked it, right?
Unc.
try rooting it again, i unrooted my phone but when i root it again it says "still rooted" but no SU app
Did you try reinstalling SuperUser or SuperSu?
Use this app to check your root:

Hey everyone I just did a big boo boo and cant seem to fix the problem im facing. I rooted my phone using Visionary which worked flawlessly and I had Titanium backup working like a charm. I managed to do a factory reset by accident and erased everything. So I downloaded visionary again and tried to root the HTC Desire HD once more but it says my device is already rooted. Thats fine. But When I download Titanium backup it says that it cant find the root and also there is no (superuser icon) anymore, what does this mean? So I have a rooted phone but nothing works. I dont think i did any backups proper ones atleast. I factory reseted it in the boot menu trying to get the S-off and thats when i did the reset. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Step by step instructions would be great thanks!
Hey guys I finally figured it out! After some extensive research with my friend google. I got it working again. Basically all I did was uninstall visionary, titanium backup and then reinstalled visionary+R14 and reinstalled titanium backup it recognized the root and the superuser icon popped back up. everything is going smoothly for now at least. I think that Visionary+R14 doesn't need to know if the phone is already rooted or not it just reroots it anyway.
Hey guys!
Yesterday I rooted my Charge Using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122657
Used the CWR and Peanut Butter Jelly Time Kernal (non over clocking one)
I then used Titanium Back Up Pro to freeze the following apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082588 - First Post
I also have setcpu installed, root explore, battery calibration and system monitor.
Today ... the phone restarted out of no where and now the messaging app wont launch. It just gives me the following error:
"process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas of what I should do?
Cheers!
Ok now Gmail stopped as well
Ok guys ...
Tried some stuff...
Removed all programs I installed, also un froze all the bloatware. Restarted and still no luck.
I then re flashed the kernal and no luck and then flashed the over clock one and still no luck. At this point Im ready to do a full restore back to non-rooted
Anyone have any input before I do this?
USING Whatever rom you used to ROOT.
Reboot into recovery after unfreezing all apps. There's a batch for that.
Fix Permissions.
Clear Cache.
Reflash the rom you used to ROOT with.
Will replace the corrupted file assuming there is one since you did not say specifically what you froze.
Just a note: Most of that stuff that you guys are freezing, you don't have to. It does not run unless you call on it to run. Some of the stuff (I.E. My Files which is your file explorer) you don't want to freeze.
Thanks for the reply.
I pretty much did that last night but when I tried to do the Fix Permissions it asked me what size .... it was really weird.
I ended up doing a factory reset / data wipe as well as the rest and its working great now, only dumb thing on my part was I forgot to do a back up with Ti-Pro first so I had to reinstall everything (app wise).
I just purchased a p509 as a backup phone and figured I could easily root it and flash a better ROM on it. I am not new to the whole flashing process. I've had no problems doing all this on three other phones (LG G2x, Galaxy Centura, and a Galaxy S 4G).
I rooted it using Gingerbreak. Seemed to go ok. My first problem was having error messages using Astro File Manager. I then got a little carried away with Titanium Backup and deleted the LG Home launcher and probably something else I shouldn't have. I of course then had no home screen. I used Gmail to send the APK to myself and install it. I then had my home screen, but I still got error messages every time I hit the home button.
I then installed ROM manager to try and get a recovery on the phone and wipe out all my issues with a new ROM. It gets to 100% installing CWM and then I get a Superuser error message. If I try and fix permissions I get the same thing.
Any advice? The only factory restore help i can find is the basic hard reset stuff.
Every time something needs Superuser, SU gives me a FC. I can't even install Busybox. Is there no way to return this phone to the way it came from the factory?
Ok so I seem to have SU working now. But Busybox still won't install...
Well even though no one cares to help (not surprised on XDA) I want to add some info. I have tried flashing a recovery two different ways through terminal emulator with no luck. My current status is using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003080
I'm trying to type in "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" and getting a not enough memory message. This is becoming the most pain in the ass thing i have ever tried to do. I would love to just have it back to the way I received it with all the stock apps and games and not having to email myself the LG Home launcher every time I reset it. Any insight would be appreciated.
the problem is that rom manager is not compatible anymore with O1(if you managed to install recovery do not boot into it from rommanager, use combo keys), so read this post to install recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827723 (to go in fastboot try to use quickboot from playstore), search forum for flashable recovery thread for O1,
or, to make it stock just flash an oldbb GB rom 2.2 and use LG support tool from LG site and update to latest version available, worked for me
Thank you very much. I actually just solved the problem with this guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318750 and running GingerDX.
Good to know how to get it back to stock though. I swear I searched and got nothing but "Hard reset" results.
