[ROM] 2011-08-04 - ROOTED "Official Update" - x99_GB_Sense_Stock_Rooted_2.76.651.4/5
This is *completely* based on NFX's release of 2.72.651.2
- modded kernel ramdisk for root
I flashed this ROM with *nothing* else loaded on my phone, and it booted up and is running just fine so far.
My usual routine:
- format system
- wipe data / factory reset
- install ROM
If you flash this over another ROM without wiping, you may encounter errors.
Examples:
- Opening the settings in the messaging app = force close. Fix this by wiping the data for the messaging app.
- Wallpaper picker not showing previews.
Download 2.76.651.4 ROM v1: http://bit.ly/iNX9qc md5sum: 793da0847bd2b452cc7887480abae029
Download patched OTA 2.76.651.5 patch: http://bit.ly/pQ1KpP DOES NOT REMOVE ROOT!
is this the one with the newest update? 2.76.651.4?
Yeah, I named it wrong... one second.
FIXED. lol ... that's what I get for rushing.
Thank you will test tonight

so basically the difference between this and nef is that theres a kernal we can adjust using something like cpu controller?

No custom kernel yet... at least not until HTC releases source code.
For this, I had to modify a file within the kernel so that we can have root.
Good stuff, I will try this out tonight? Is it basically the OTA with root?
sense 2.1?
In the leaked version it had sense 2.1? Is it the same for this version or does it only have 1.0
Does this kernel have bfs in it?

Hi folks!
Very new noob here and very curious about what else I can do now that I've rooted my Inspire 4g. I used attn1 hack kit and it took me roughly 30 minutes to complete the root process.
So, first question is - I've noticed, and already read about it, that my wifi is no longer working and that I need to do something.....yes I'm a noob and I'm not sure what exactly I need to do to get my wifi feature working again.
Second - What else can I do now with a rooted phone other than the tethering/wifi hotspot features? Any cool apps? Any updated core (not sure of term) program that will replace the default image loaded with attn1 hack kit?
I'm honestly completely content with what attn1 hack kit did minus the wifi.
So basically looking to fix my wifi issue, i can connect to networks but can't use them, and also looking to tweak/speed up phone even more and load some cool apps.
I apologize for being a noob.
if you want, you can try the rom in my signature....
in all honesty, try every rom out there for your phone. see which one works for you
You have a lot you can do still, read around these forums, use the search, and read the stickies, they'll help you out a lot. The first thing I'd recommend looking into is flashing a new ROM (the "core program"), which should take care of your wifi problem.
Just remember, most questions you'll have have been answered at some point, always search a few different ways before posting multiple threads asking questions.
But good luck! Welcome to being rooted, once you learn what you can do you'll realize why everyone recommends it. As for root apps, ROM Manager is must have IMO, makes flashing a lot easier, Titanium Backup is good, Root Tools is pretty useful (although on some custom ROMs like CM7 there are easier ways to do most of the stuff it can do), and SetCPU if you want to overclock your CPU.
My favorite thing about being rooted, other than flashing roms, is setcpu. With a Rom that supports it, you can overclock and underclock. I underclock when the screen is off and it helps battery life immensely. Just be careful with overclocking. Some phones do better with it. I never overclock past 1.2 ghz.

I stick to 1.3 max and I've never had a problem. My kernel can go up to 1.9 But that's just unnesseccessarry.

Did you flash the stock ROM (w/ or w/o SL) from his thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
I was previously running it and didn't have any issues with WiFi.
The very first thing you need to do is flash a rom. The hack kit leaves you with the downgraded rom, which is strictly for the exploit during the root process. It is not intended to be left on the phone. You can flash back to the latest stock rooted rom or find a custom modded rom to try out.

Honestly you have tons of options. I have had a rooted phone for a long time and just now joined the site. I have been reading all the posts for months now and have gotten pretty good at it all. You first need to flash a new rom and learn how to tweak the base roms. Then once you master that, you will start flashing new radios and RILs. Then you will learn to mix and match kernals and roms. Then you will start to overclock and undervolt your cpu for performance enhancements and battery saving. There is a ton to do but reading the post in the development section will get you where you need to be. It will take some time but you will learn it all. Rom Manager is probably the most needed app of them all to start with.
Thanks for the replies folks!
I've gone and flashed my second rom! LOL...I know....what a young'en
I went with the Android Revolution ROM and I gotta say...loving the battery life so far...much better than stock.
I'm looking at changing the main theme and would like to go with the Code Red one. The pre reqs are - DEODEXED ROM, Root, S-Off, DHD Sense ROM, Clockwork Mod and ROM Manager.
So question - I now know that I've got all of the above met except for the DEODEXED ROM. Not sure what this is....I have searched the forums and wasn't able to come up with a clear answer as to what this means.
Oh...lesson learned...back up my contacts before I flash my next ROM. I lost it all! lol
Just a bump for some help.

all custom roms are deodexed. you do have to be careful when applying themes though. most of them are specific for a specific build of a rom. you cant always apply any theme to any rom

First of all I did search and found some info but it wasn't really helpful... I'm new to the Charge. I've had many android phones before and have never had problems rooting and flashing roms. I've searched and I've seen the instructions on how to root and they look like they're in another language. Does anyone have more clear instructions on how to root??? Any help, asap, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
we are in the same page buddy....

Hey Brandon, this thread gives a great description on how to root your charge. => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14692818
If you still have questions feel free to ask, and I'll try to answer them as best as i can.
Ok, so i got it rooted and just installed a de-bloated stock Rom. Its ok, but now question is, if i decide to install a gingerbread Rom or any other Rom such as gummycharged, can i just install like i did on my bolt or x in cwm or do i have to use this odin program? if i have to use odin, how do i go about installing that way? thanks in advance...

For most roms, like gummycharged fe 2.0 and gbe 2.0 you just need CWM. I'm sure the process is the same as your bolt but just to be clear: Place the rom's zip you want on the sd card, boot into CWM, wipe date, dalvik cache, and cache partition, and then install the rom from the sd card. =) There are also some roms that come as full-odins, where you flash the package through odin and it does the work for you. That being said, you shouldn't run into that many unless you are un-rooting your phone. Hope that made sense. let me know if it doesn't.
Sweet. Thanks alot dude. That's awesome to know. I don't really wanna get into messing with odin. I like being able to do everything from my phone and not having to hook up to the laptop.

LOL, I was just coming in here to ask that exact same question as the OP. The wording was almost verbatim what I was going to say. The majority of experience I have had with Android is with HTC phones. I have rooted a few tablets as well. The instructions for the charge root are super confusing compared to previous devices.
My big issue is with the terminology. Like what is EE4, EPF1? Are there certain kernels that only work with certain roms? How easy is it to completely pooch the phone if I click on the wrong button in Odin? Can I make a nandroid backup and swap roms on the fly using Rom Manager depending on my moods or is it more complex then other android phones?
I haven't checked out the posts yet in this thread but seeing as how at least one other person has been just as confused as me I'm wondering if someone out there that has experience with both Samsung and lets say HTC phones can make a simple guide that makes comparisons to other rooting processes. For people that arn't used to Samsung phones, these instructions can be very overwhelming and there doesn't seem to be a newbie thread out there that gives information on all the abbreviations used and what they mean.

EE4, EP1W, ect are OS build numbers. EE4 is the current official release Froyo build. EP1W is the latest leaked Gingerbread build we have. Those are pretty much the only two version you want to worry about right now. There are Froyo kernels and Gingerbread kernels. Any Froyo kernel will work with any Froyo ROM, and any GB kernel will work with any GB ROM.
Only mess with the PDA button in Odin and you'll be fine. Forget the Phone button even exists, because that's the button that can get you into trouble. You can use the PIT button as well if you have the charge.pit file, but it's not normally necessary, so only do that if you have a reason.
ROM Manager is useless with this phone. There are reports that there is a version of CWM from it that will work with the Charge, but it doesn't work nearly as well as the latest imnuts CWM. The orange CWM dated 8/17 will let you do nandroid backups...you just need to boot directly into it and do them from CWM itself and forget about ROM Manager.

This was all helpful. I installed gummycharged with no issues. One other thing. Is the install of a kernal for gingerbread roms done in cwm? And what is a standard kernal to use? Do I need to install a different radio?? Thanks.

kernels for all roms on the Charge are installed in CWM, as for GB kernels you can't go wrong with any of Imoseyons voodoo ones... radios don't necessarily need to be updated but I've noticed a big improvement with the latest EP1W modems, however the results vary on different phones I've seen

I bought this g2x and it came with cryogen installed. I just want stock Gingerbread installed so I used what I thought was a stock OS. It says I'm using 2.2.2, and I have a horrible issue with my wifi. What's the current version available?

Current stock version is 2.3.3
CM never had a 2.2.2... sounds like the original stock Froyo rom.
Easy enough to fix. NVFlash using the easy nvflasher app available in the development section and download your favorite rom. CM has a stable CM7.1.0.1 available. I use MIUI w/ fauxs 4.3 Kernel.
Weapon makes a nice stock-like solid build.
G2x - Latest MIUI w Faux Kernel
Transformer - Latest Revolver w OC/UV Kernel

How did it come with Cyanogen? Did you buy it from friend or ebay?
If you are back on stock 2.2.2 and you have the baseband dated March, you can use the LG Updater to update to GB and get the new baseband. It is the new baseband that will fix your wifi issues. You can download the LG Updater from the link below. Make sure you read the posts on this forum regarding the updater. If you don't do it right you can mess up your phone; but if you follow the instructions exactly, turn off firewall and anti-virus, unplug other usb devices, etc. you should be fine. Install the USB drivers from the Updater program to make sure you have the latest USB drivers.

guys im thinking of finally updating to gingerbread because some apps are requiring that os .... my questions are :
if im rooted can i still just press the update button from the notification menu?
2. should i be doing that ? a lot of posts online complain about this update so is it worth it? could i be better off flashing a gingerbread based custom rom from this website?
3. is there a backup process to make sure i can go back to froyo if the need arises?
thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
If you are rooted you should not update the phone using the button. I don't think it will work anyways. If you want stock gingerbread there are plenty on here. In my sig, Juicy has a stable, fast, yet great on battery 2.52 Gingerbread with sense 2.5. It is version R2. There are more advanced sense 3.0 and 3.5 ROMs out there too. Both highly modified and looking like a stock ROM.
okay ... so i will just keep ignoring that button i guess...

The update worked well for me and found no bugs when I did it, but It all depends on what you do with your cell. Custom Roms are all beta versions, that means that they all have bugs but most are very smooth and stable and have many tweaks to play with that you won´t find out in the stock gb update.
If you run the update, you will loose the root access, so you will have to run the hack kit again. You can also flash the rooted version of that RUU that is in the general section under the thread Stock Roms...is the Gene Pole's one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385016
Make a nandroid backup with the Rom Manager or 4EXT recovery (the one you are using) and in case you don't like the update go can restore it...hope it helps.

Actually yes. All roms posted here are considered beta. This is due to the face that every custom rom changes some coding in the OS or kernel. Only non beta roms are stock roms.
Sorry, my understanding of a beta version is one that is still undergoing testing prior to the official release. Since these ROMs will never see an official release, I don't consider the ones made off of an official RUU as beta. Just my opinion.
