I call BS.

yes had root it was and app update thorough rom manager

You give few details... How did you root, what rom are you on, and what app was it? Are you sure you ever were rooted, or that you still aren't?

ITT there is no information at all...
Have you tried kicking it? That usually works...

This is why requiring 10 posts to post in development areas is a bad idea. I have a legit question, but can’t post it until I meet my post quota.

You can always hop on IRC to ask your question too. Not to mention you probably haven't made a good search yet, most questions have already been answered.
Also, this entire thread is mind numbingly stupid. People like this who can't provide even a shred of information should be banned from the first post.

Was it a Google app that said 2.3 etc...? If ur not on cm7, that's prob why...

Droid Charge Unroot!

I have a droid charge and I rooted it. I want to unroot it and re root it so is there a way to do this? I've found a few threads that have links to guides but none of them have worked so far. Can anyone give me a working link to a guide to unroot my droid charge?
Thanks
Why would you want to unroot and then reroot?

This has always worked for me, the bad thing is that you fall back to factory defaults,
Go to this thread from I nuts

Now download the PIT file and choose what version you want ep4 obviously being the latest, now flash using Odin, i usually take out the SIM and the SD card.
You now have a completely stock non rooted phone
Now to root it it depends what version you got;
if ep4 then simply flash the latest CWM(clockwork mod) found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
and then install a repacked kernel like imoseyon 4.0 and also a superuser.zip found here on post#2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20723064
and then you will be rooted again

He's not posting just to get his post count up. If you read through these forums, you will see kvswim provides a lot of help with his posts. Asking why you would want to unroot, then reroot is a logical question since it doesn't make sense to unroot then reroot. And I wouldn't call asking that question flaming. If he called you a moron for wanting to unroot then reroot, that would be flaming. I could list the step by step process of unrooting and rerooting for you, but the attitude you displayed in your response makes you undeserving of the help IMO. When you start a thread asking for help with as little information as you provided in your first post, you are going to get follow up questions. Are you stock or are you running a custom ROM? What process did you use to root in the first place? What is your end goal for this process? The more info you provide without attitude, the better people can help you and answer your question and the more likely you are to get help and get your question answered.

It doesn't matter, I got help from someone who didn't ask stupid questions. Why I want to do it is irrelevant! I asked so I could get information not so I could explain why I want the information. If you won't help me unless I explain why I want to do it, then frankly I don't want your help! So you don't have to help me. I want to do what I want to do whether it makes sense or not! So yes I consider it flaming because the question is irrelevant to the original question. I didn't explain why I wanted to because I don't feel the need to explain myself to everyone who wants to know! Yes I did post very vaguely and I apologize for that, and if those had been his questions "Are you stock or are you running a custom ROM? What process did you use to root in the first place? What is your end goal for this process?" then I wouldn't have had the attitude, but my reasons behind wanting to do this is none of your business, and again if you need to know my business before wanting to help, then don't bother posting! So there is your reason behind my "attitude". Yes my response was out of line, so I apologize, but I did feel the need to explain why I answered why I did! So again I apologize to KVSwim for answering the way I did!

Out of curiosity, can you explain your setup and method of rooting and un-rooting? It is kindof funny that I haven't put with thought to un-rooting other than flashing to to bone stock. I figure you could delete Superuser but I think you'd also have to flash the stock kernel (I haven't noticed a seperate file for that though.)

Firstly, the 10 post rule exists for very good, well practiced and proven reasons. You come in here claiming that it is "shyt" - you are not special and you deserve no preferential treatment.
Secondly, most people here won't care if you "need help now". We aren't paid tech-support. We all have lives to live outside of XDA which actually pay our bills - but if you wish to pay standard tech-support call rates then I will gladly assist you immediately.
Thirdly, don't 'bump' your own posts - it's against the rules of XDA
Fourthly, you would find yourself more likely to get support in the correct Q&A forum for your device
Fifthly - reported
OP, well it seems you got your answer and the links to your specific device was provided also, if I was you I would just slap a thx and address your issues in your device forums, it may take some time but a user will assist you...or just continue to search and find it yourself.
As far as you thoughts for the 10 post rule:

Its not a massive restriction and to provide 10 useful/helpful posts is not hard.

[Q] Easiest way to get JB on HOX

Sorry that I am a noob, but I have been reading threads for a couple hours and haven't found a source that will answer my question.
What is the easiest way to get JB on my HOX?
I have ran into some that seem easy but only to find that I need a CID of HTC_xxx where mine is CWS_001. After a post directing me to this forum I have continued to try to find something to help me get JB and no luck. If there is a post that describes this please reply with it, or if anyone would be kind enough to post directions on how to do this that would be greatly appreciated.
Again, sorry that I am a noob at this, first Android phone, switched from iOS after Apple's disappointing "new phone", aka iPhone 4s with an extra row of icons.
Thanks!

First, you can use this tool to easily root your phone, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426), then flash any JB ROM you like and just follow the instructions.

You have to change your CID from the AT&T default before you can unlock anyway. Once you do that, it doesn't matter anymore.

The CID will be changed to 1111111 before you can unlock your phone and then root, so don't worry about that. Happy flashing!

Ok...all these noobs getting the phone for free are now pissing me off completely. If you want to overcome being a noob, you have to put in time to read and search. DO NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMATION AT HAND
Being a noob means you should have at least watched the noob video when signing up. If you did not you broke the first rule of XDA and you need to watch it. If you did watch it(which I suspect you did not) you would know to search and read before posting. The community is here to answer questions we all have, but not questions that have been answered over and over again. Nor to spoon feed you.
oh ****...i know whats going to happen after he gets it rooted.......Don't you?? i see a brick coming up from attempting to flash the EVO OTA.
zac507, there is no official jb sense for our phone. someone should of stated that in the first reply shame on ALL of you. if you read his OP you would see he already tried flashing the endeavoru jb rom which is why he got the CID error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044729
Here are GREAT guides for noobs basically from start to finish here. When I was first starting I made a Q&A thread ONLY after reading enough to where I was confused and not confident in going forward without consulting others.....The key here is that you need to read and understand what you are doing first before you ask for help otherwise what good is the help?
Anyways, good luck reading and hopefully everything goes well

Thank you to everyone (except Chef). I will continue to read and do research before rooting or flashing my phone.
Chef, I have read through the forums quite a lot, asked others who have flashed other Android devices and watched many video tutorials on the subject. But before doing anything I wanted to ask a specific question that I did not see in the forums to get a clear and concise answer. Since I PAID for my phone, I do not want to brick it, hence my thread. I suggest you pull your over-inflated tech ego out of your swollen rear and learn to read. I said I was a noob at this. Noobs have questions. People on forums answer questions to help them. You, on the other hand, just act like a prick and contribute nothing to the thread. Thanks for absolutely no helpful information, please stop posting on any forum if this is how you do it.
Again, thank you to everyone else who replied. You were very helpful!

Where do I begin to correct this post?
First, let's start with the fact that you asked "what is the easiest way to get JB on HOX?" Well assuming you read, and searched and etc. you wouldn't need to ask that question considering you would have had the answer already because you in fact read and you would know that you can flash countless JB roms if bootloader unlocked and rooted.
My over inflated tech ego must have got in the way though. Even though you asked a question which is so similar to all the other JB related questions asked on this forum.
Obviously you need to continue to read(skimming and reading are different) considering the fact that you try to run an international RUU on your phone...
I was looking out for your best interest, if you want to take it to a personal level and call me a prick so be it, but I sure hope I help ingrained the fact that you need to read more before tinkering.
I think my rear is swollen I should go lay down
Zac, if you have any trouble or need help I for one would be willing to help, sent you a pm so we don't offend anyone else in here.

Where the heck is "over there"? I assume some other device.
If somebody with 400+ posts on here doesn't get the purpose of custom ROMs, what the heck have you been doing here all this time?

rom!?!

hello I needed to post this in this forum because I am new. I need a couple of files if this is okay with you guys.
first my model number for my tablet is gt3113
I need a root file I unroot my tablet but still have clock work mod install.
and I may need a stock rom for the tablet
and now I want the best rom with jellybeans because I tried nightly changed 10.1 and it was really buggy like the boot screen was screwed up and it would do crazy stuff just to put it in development words I want the best rom with jelly bean 4.2.2 and it is in beta or is finished with other support thank you!

Sure, and I will tell you more - I still consider myself a newbie. I admit it, and it doesnt offend me. I will never know, or be able to do a fraction of what some people here are capable of, and I am grateful for all this knowledge being shared with everyone. I still try my best to contribute to the community in some ways I can (being just a user, not a dev in any capacity). I dare you: search my posts on XDA, and if you find something as ridiculous as this request, I will publically apologize for being a hypocritic jerk. You already responded to the OP, and his reaction was, basically: "blah, blah, I don't get any of that **** you are talking about, and I don't care, anyway, just give me files, dude". In my books, this is ignorance AND arrogance.
Oh well, enough ranting, anyway...

[Q] How do I root without wiping?

I want to root and make a titanium backup before getting to the stage of unlocking and ROMing. All guides/tools (I'm on a mac but have access to a windows machine too) seem to be an all in one solution that wipes, unlocks and roots.
Also is it only system stuff that's deleted? /sdcard/ will be left, right? Sorry for simple question. I've never had an internal memory only phone before.

You can't unlock your bootloader without wiping. And there's no rooting method, yet, that doesn't require unlocking the bootloader.

You guys may spend a lot of time on this forum, and that's fine. But just because a question has been asked before doesn't mean every person who visits here will have seen it. It's often faster to ask and receive answers that to spend time searching a forum.
