Easy way please elaborate
Nice mj0528, way to help a guy. You may also want to check your spelling of Austin.
zombieguy85 , when you boot into your current ROM after the Bubby's one click do you have ROM manager and Superuser in your apps? Does ROM Manager have superuser access when you open it?
If so use it to reflash Clockwork Mod Recovery (the very first option when you open ROM Manager). I would also use ROM Manager to flash your new ROM.
If you have Superuser installed and ROM Manager can't get superuser access then you need to flash the SU fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886999 Then reflash Clockwork from ROM Manager.
If none of these matches what you have then you didn't complete the root process and you should start over.
just did what you said im fixing to try again ill let you know

hey dudes, i have another problem with root. i wanted to flash CM7 to it and i used rom manager to download it and flash, but it is stuck at loading screen with the cute little blue android dude on the skateboard. i cannot go into rocovery because i used the one click to root and it only wants to update the rom thingy. it updates, and i can use the phone, only without CM7. so basically what i want is for the bootloader to stop overwriting my rom and i want to install CM7
OK: edit. i just made it overwrite my system and i ran regular rom. but alas, another problem. i tried to install CM7, and i put this kernal on it and now i am stuck on endless rebooting AHHHHH. ok now i am just updating the pd98 thingy again to get my phone back but it probably will do endless reboot again if i try to flash the kernal again. any ideas?
EDIT AGAIN: ok flashed kernal and rom at same time and stuck at booter again with the cute dude but i dont want to re-flash the pd968 thingy. should I? or should i wait
EDIT: i can go into clockworkmod but not recovery mode
EDIT: fixed it. forgot to factory reset. i am now running CM7 on android 2.3.1

well give this a shot since you cant go into recovery. put the rom that you know works on the root of your sd card and rename it to pc36img and try to flash it that way. I hope it works.

PC36IMG is for the HTC EVO. The HTC Inspire is a PD98, so that is what the bootloader is going to look for on the SD card.
Lol sorry I was messing with my evo eariler I guess the number got stuck in my head.

So how will we be able to flash cm7 when its ready... I have rom manager installed now can I flash it thru there or use the Nvaflash recovery?
Thanks for you responses in advance
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Easiest way would be through recovery.
so is it safer to do a nvaflash it something goes wrong i can get it recovery that way with the button combo?
It'll be through recovery. No need to worry about getting the combo wrong with ROM Manager or Maxima's reboot app.
Hey guys, the only thing i've done to my G2X so far is rooted it, is there anything else I need to do to prepare for CM7?
Install ROM Manager, and use it to install ClockworkMod Recovery.

quick question about this.
I had the N1 and never rooted it. I got the G2X and right away I needed to get rid of the crapware. so it's rooted. So I'm a root noob
I just installed Rom Manage and see in the options where it says Flash Clockworkmod recovery. Do I need to download something and have on the SD to do this or is it a part of Rom Manager?
Thanks
It's part of ROM Manager. Tap it, select your handset and it will download and flash for you.

In the future, you will need the rom files on a micro SD card. So if you don't have one, you may want to order one.
Hi,
Just ran Alpharevx on Linux on my phone and all seemed successful. I have a question though, I don't seem to have root...
Even though Clockworkmod is installed if I go into recovery, SetCPU and ROM Manager both state I do not have root permissions, is there an extra step I'm missing?
Hi, why don't simply install a custom rom. Many custom roms out there come with root, backup, task manager, OC and etc. Once you get a hang of it, you might want to try your own build.

I myself think I'll go with this one. I like the stock experience so far, but with Sense 3.0 would be even better, especially since the "answer in my pocket" thing annoys the hell out of me (problem solved with Sense 3.0).

You need to use gingerbreak. Search for it in the development section, its an app you run on your phone that installs root for you.
It may tell you that its not sure if it worked but that's normal, just reboot the phone and you will have root!

To root your stock ROM then use Ginger Break you can download a free market app called root checker to see if you have root.
I'd recommend that you also take a backup of your existing stock rom using either CWM or through rom manager backup before you install a custom rom.
I'd also suggest that you install LBC MOD custom....but try them all and decide for yourself.
I'd also recommend that you install 4EXT recovery rather than CWM as its an improved easier to use version of CWM which is updated very often.

Your quite right....you can't, I clearly was thinking straight.
I'll edit post above so as not to mislead.
Alpharevx installs clockworkmod recovery if you want.
With CWM you can make a full backup, the you can try some other ROMs. I am using virtuous unity and looks really well.

Although, you won't be able to take a successful NANDROID backup even with CWM unless you have rooted your phone.
Ok guys so I have managed to root my i9023 and flash clockwork recovery which was all good, I set about flashing some new roms via rom manager, again, all good.
So now I settle on this cm7 based rom which I love, used anim mod to get some nice transitions, then I used font changer.
All was good, then I decided that the font I was using was a bit ott so I decided to change it again, upon reboot it starts boot looping, bollocks !!!
So I try to get into clockwork recovery, and it seems to have gone back to the stock bootloader, grrrrr
I re flash clockwork, wipe / clear etc... then flash the rom again, but it would not flash, so I went to my backup of stock n flashed that, all good.
I then install rom manager again and flash the rom I liked again, this time no problem, but when it loads up the home button and search button are not working
So i decide on a factory reset, I select wipe everything including sd just to be sure but it comes up "error null"???
So now I wipe the sd manually and then do the reset and it works, ok, I re load everything on from scratch and all is good, but when I installed rom manager it says that clockwork recovery IS NOT installed again
Can anyone here work out from my ramblings WTF is going on???
I dont get why the font changer all of a sudden caused a boot loop, as I had changed font about 15 times with it without issue, also why clockwork recovery will not stick anymore after a reboot, when before it did and I have not changed a thing!
Cheers!!!
Rename install-recovery.sh in system/etc to something else, flash cwm recovery again, this time it'll stick until you install a stock rom again.
Rom manager is causing more problems than it's saving time, hence I don't use it.

Thanks for the reply, can you go into detail on what exactly I need to do to get clockwork to stick? I still hold noob status!
Thanks!
Also rom manager seems fine, I flashed loads of roms with it with no issue, I also rebooted a few time at least between flashes so I dont get why clockwork suddenly decided to jump ship.
It was the font changer that f&%ked it all up for me, or anim mod (which I wont touch now even tho I miss the wicked transitions).
When using Font Changer, it's better to do a reboot manually instead of selecting Reboot from within the program. That sometimes cause me a boot loop too. But after turning the phone off / on a.k.a. "reboot manually", the phone boots fine.
To elaborate what rentaric said, use Root Explorer and go to /system/etc/, there should be a file named install-recovery.sh. This file is responsible for flashing the stock recovery every time the phone boots. If you rename it to something else e.g. install-recovery.sh.bak then CWM will stick on reboot.
Thanks, but when I get into the /system/etc/ there is not file called install-recovery.sh.
The only .sh in there is init.goldfish.sh
Any ideas???

Flash cwm rec and either stock or custom rom.

I've read on these forums that using Clockwork on the I9023 is a no-go. Serves up incompatible ROMs, etc.
BTW, I'm looking to root my I9023. Can the OP please point me to the method he used.

Yeah I have a custom rom installed, supercm7, but the install-recovery.sh. that I have been told is causing the problem of clockwork disappearing is not in the /system/etc/ folder, so I am asking if there is anything else that could be causing me to have to re flash clockwork via my pc every time I want to change rom?
I will tell you exactly what happens.
1. I go into rom manager
2. download a rom and choose flash rom from sd card
3. it asked if I want to wipe etc, i select yes
4. phone re boots and I get ! with an android
5. I pull the battery, hold volume up n power and boot / connect to my pc
6. re flash clockwork via SDK
7.the phone then load the new rom on its own
Before it would just flash the rom without me having to install clockwork again.
install-recovery.sh is only there if you're using a stock android rom.
"so I am asking if there is anything else that could be causing me to have to re flash clockwork via my pc every time I want to change rom?"
ROM Manager.
It's not a reliable working tool for ME as I'm changing ROMs/kernels on a regular basis and it might not work reliable the one time you need it.
Thanks for that, I may just sack rom manager then.
Its a shame as I flashed several roms with it without issue.
Oh well, loving this supercm7 so gonna stick with it untill an update comes out.
Many thanks to all who have replied, clicking the thanks buttons now!

Hi all!
I rooted my S4 with the all-in-one toolkit but I have the feeling that something didn't worked out. First thing, I don't get the boot screen with the red writing..I still have the normal one. It installed TWRP recovery alright and it works well. It installed SU, but i had troubles installing busybox..it gave errors about permission, even if I gave the installer root permission at launch..I had to install busybox through recovery. Other thing it didn't work is uninstalling system apps..I tried with Titanium, Anttek app manager and even with manually delete the apks, but after a reboot the apps and the apks reappeared..
All this things made me think that something went "not-fully-ok" in the unlocking process...
Is there something I can do to verify this?
Edit: forgot to say i'm on stock rom, last update.

Hi, are you using a custom ROM or the stock ROM? The apps reappearing issue is on the stock ROM and happens on the 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM because HTC in their infinite wisdom (lmao who did I copy) introduced a write-protect feature in the Jelly Bean kernel. So installing stuff will work, but only in recovery when the kernel isn't active. I assume this is how you installed Superuser - through recovery. To overcome this issue you can flash a custom ROM like ViperOneS or if you don't want a custom ROM you can flash a zip in recovery which I will provide the link to shortly
Edit: page 212 of the official jelly bean thread in the general forum

Thank you all for your replies! I'll try and flash this zip with twrp..the phone was used, but the previous owner did nothing like flashing stuff, or rooting..
Does flashing this package allows me to permanently delete system apps?
And are there real benefits with flashing a non-stock kernel?
Meanwhile, bought flash image gui, flashed the kernel with it, and again with recovery. Now I can uninstall system apps permanently!

What version is your toolkit? 3.4?
It looks more like you S-Offed, because HBOOT didn't give a da*m about the red message when S-Offed.
You're running stock. Kernal reboot would force it to reinstall.
