[Odin]EE4 various packages Read Carfully - Verizon Droid Charge

Warning!!!! Do not flash these if
A. You dont know what you are doing
B. you have not already done a manual update to EE4
C. you do not understand what they are for
XDA, any developer, or myself are NOT responsible for anything you do to your phone.​
All packages are compressed in .rar form they need to be extracted and flashed with odin. If you are a developer and just want the deodex system...well you know what to do. Also Notice Using a custome kernel on EE4 is required for root but this also write protects your sdcard for some reason so just be aware.
First package:Fully stock kernel, recovery and system(this will come in handy)
www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4stock_DXC.tar.rar
Second package: Deodexed system, imnuts modded CWM , stock kernel (not rooted)
www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4deodx_DXC.tar.rar
Warning having a Custom kernel Write protects your sdcard when trying to mount to your PC otherwise everything works
Third package: Deodexed system, imnuts modded CWM, jt voodoo kernel (Rooted)
www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4dxvodo_DXC.tar.rar
Again if you need instructions on how to flash these just hold off till we can mess with this build some more.

Awesome, but, definitely holding off on this.

So we're supposed to update to EE4 before installing any of these packages?

Sweeeet. Thanks driodxcon!
Dammit, you never figured out the sdcard problem?

Sweet thanks as always.
Kinda curious tho if we are already running your AB build with a custom kernel with Voodoo and lagfix how will we go about updating to EE4 so we don't mess up and loose root access in the process. Thanks in advance for any input.

Kind of a tedious process, but here is what I did:
1) I disabled the lagfix (create a folder called 'disable-lagfix' in /sdcard/Voodoo)
2) rebooted the phone to disable the voodoo lagfix
3) ran the stock rooted ED1 ODIN file (which I created )
4) took the OTA ED2 update and lost root
5) downloaded the EE4 update file (http://goo.gl/XTDA9) and renamed it 'update.zip' and put it on my sdcard
6) booted into recovery and applied update.zip and then let it boot
7) flashed JTs rooted voodoo kernel and his CWM in ODIN (you should probably delete the disable-lagfix folder after step 6)
NOTE: I didn't wipe at all during this process.
I have EE4 and JTs voodoo kernel and I've confirmed that I have root access.
Now it's time to get rid of this orange and brown crap... again :/

so after the whole 9 yard process of getting it back to stock and then updating all the way up to EE4, when you flashed JT's voodoo kernel, you still maintained all the capabilities of the EE4 update? currently, i believe it seems that flashing a ROM like altered beast (after you've updated to EE4 from stock), makes the functions of the EE4 update disappear?

You may want to reconsider as I don't believe you will get the radio/baseband update if you do not take the OTA update.

[ROM][STOCK][CWM] Stock Deodexed ROMs

Not sure why anyone would really need these versus a debloated ROM, but here they are. These are the stock ROMs, just deodexed and zip aligned. They won't flash the kernel, only system.

No, these are meant to be flashed in CWM and you will want to have Voodoo disabled before flashing any of the packages here.

Deodexed factory, which isn't stock. These are primarily for anyone looking to create a ROM, or looking for a particular file, or files, that aren't in a ROM. That, or someone who is fine with Stock, but would like to use a theme.

Unfortunately, I have an issue with the EE4 deodexed ROM, and it is reproducible.
After installing it for the first time, I get an error in CWM stating "Can't mount /sdcard." Reflashing CWM with ODIN did not fix the issue. Note that on this install, I had installed the PBJ kernel prior to installing this deodexed ROM.
At this point, I had to restore the full stock ED2 and do the OTA to EE4. This time I installed this deodexed EE4 first, rather than installing the kernel first to see if that made a difference. After installing this deodexed EE4 once again, it went back to the default android recovery. After reinstalling CWM, I once again got the same error of "Can't mount /sdcard." This is a problem since I am no longer able to do any updates in CWM.
This EE4 deodexed ROM will boot, but I have problems accessing the SD card when hooked to the computer. It can't read many files, and won't write at all. I have no problems accessing the SD card outside of this ROM.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

if I'm not mistaken the deodexed roms were early packages that had an sd card write issue, the debloated one should include the fix, hence no issues

ED1 to EE4

I have rooted my charge on ED1. I dont have CWM or anything installed. I am wanting to update to EE4 and reroot it. I have been reading but finding different answers. My question is can I just take the OTA update and then reroot the charge?

What I did was use ODIN and flash the full ED2, accept the OTA and then root once on EE4.
ED2
Is ED2 the update before the EE4 update? Also thank you for your quick responce.

I cant find the ED2 update that you would use with oden. I found the ED2 update zip file that you would use with cwm. Could you please point me in the right direction for the download for the ED2 that you would use with oden.

Easiest way possible.
Go Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096657
Download the first rom (THE ONE WITH THE BURNING DOWNLOAD)
This is ED2 to be flashed using ODIN.
Use the second download of the rom. ( THE ONE WITH THE SPINNING FLOPPY DISK. NOT THE BURNING DOWNLOAD)
The second version is EE4 to be flashed with CWM.
Pull battery, plug OEM Cable into phone. Hold Vol Dn button and plug into PC. Replace battery. Open ODIN3. You will see a yellow box show up on your Odin showing you are connected and in Download mode.
Using the AlteredBeast download you just grabbed.
Click PDA. Browse to the .tar file. click ok (MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON PDA)
click start and let ODIN do it's thing.
Should get Passed 6:30 (or something around there) when done.
From here you have CWM+ROOT+VOODOO
Now you can flash any "FROYO" rom you want.
I would suggest staying away from the Gingerbread Roms from now as we are still testing them.
i am in a similar position. i have rooted ed1 and wanted ee4. i do not want a custom rom. why is it suggested to go ed1 to ed2 then ee4. can i just do ee4 ota and then root. my only problem is that i see no root for ee4 listed in the sticky thread. i currently don't want lagfix or voodoo just stock rooted ee4. the rooted ee4 thread listed in the sticky is old and has bad links
drewcam88
I am in the same boat you are in. I am still looking. If I find anything I will let you know. My thunderbolt was easier to root then this. lol
I honestly don't understand why you all are having such a hard time with this.
If you want a rooted stock rom. sorry the closest you will get is the EE4 Debloated 4.2.1 rom. If you follow the instructions i gave you, then you can flash the EE4 Debloated rom from within CWM.
Part of the rooting process is having CWM. If you don't want voodoo, then you have other options that you can find by searching from the main page "CWM UPDATE".
Hope this helps.
Sorry for the confusion. But I have been able to root the last stock roms of previous phones so I didn't understand why a custom is needed. I now understand that there seems to be no root for the stock ee4 rom. So you are saying just flash the custom ee4 rom and be done with it? Does doing the OTA for ee4 remove root?
Yes sir. The OTA pushes will return your phone to unrooted stock. Basically like using ODIN to flash the stock.
Just follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122657
As long as you follow it word for word(which is very easy as it's noob-proofed) you will have absolutely no trouble. Just get your phone to stock EE4 by accepting the OTA download and follow the guide, you'll be rooted and lagfixed(if you want to lagfix, but why wouldnt you?!)in about 30minutes.
so i don't seem to have root. i got cwr, kernel, and Rom installed but no apps have root. superuser was installed with Rom. now what???

Then you are rooted. I'm not exactly sure what you thought was going to happen. You can now dl apps that are reserved for rooted phones. Regular apps do no need superuser to run. The apps will tell you in the description if it needs the superuser rights or not.
If you want to test it out the simple way.
Download Android Terminal Emulator.
at the "$" prompts type in : su (lowercase letters as linux is case sensitive)
if your prompt changes to "#" Then you are rooted.
dude I was not rooted. all root apps would not run. I tried a new kernel and that fixed the issue

[Q] CWM and stock recovery

Hello -- I'm new to the Charge but have a little experience rooting/flashing ROMS with Motorola devices. At this point all I want is a rooted device and everything else stock (2.2.1 firmware / EE4). To achieve this I placed the Superuser app zipfile onto my sd card, flashed CWM with Odin, booted into recovery and applied the zip update. Everything went smoothly, my device is now rooted and works fine. However, when I boot back into recovery I find that CWM is still installed, I was under the impression that this procedure would overwrite CWM with stock recovery when I rebooted. I don't really mind having CWM, just wondering if the fact that it wasn't overwritten is indicative of some other problem that is likely to bite me in the a** down the road.
Also, if all I have done is rooted and kept the kernel untouched, will I be able to receive the gingerbread OTA when it is released (if ever)? Or will I have to flash back to a stock Froyo ROM?
Thank you thank you thank you in advance.

What zip did you apply IN CWM?
Sounds like you applied a kernel too. Having CWM is not normal if you just flashed the superuser zip.
You will likely need to flash back to stock prior to updating with the GB OTA whenever it comes out.

Thank you for the reply.
The only zip I applied was the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed file downloaded here.
For CWM I flashed 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5 found here.
Again I am now rooted but can still boot into CWM. After flashing the CWM file and disconnecting my phone, I initially fat-fingered it trying to boot into recovery and it rebooted. I then powered off and booted successfully into CWM to apply the zip file.
Any thoughts?
Ok, the main difference I see between my config and yours is that I may have used a different version of the superuser package.
The one at the link that you provided is superuser/su-3.0-d-signed.zip.
The one that I used is the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip from here
You did start out from stock correct?
What is the kernel version in Settings->About phone->Kernel version?
Actually when I downloaded the Superuser zip file from the site I referenced it was su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip. This was a few weeks ago -- before version 3.0 was added.
My phone was absolutely stock when I got it 2 weeks ago and I have done no other messing with it. The Kernel version as it reads right now is:
2.6.32.9

Looks like you did the same steps that I did other than your extra boot into CWM. Usually, the stock init will check for the proper recovery, file systems, etc and then "fix" that which isn't right.
I have never seen it not do that before (I have had to reflash CWM several times before due to botching the 3 button bit)

You cannot apply the OTA if you have CWM recovery. It will fail. Usually you need to have a fully bloated stock rom w/ stock recovery. Root is ok but you will lose it w/ the update

BEFORE YOU ODIN BACK TO EE4, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SU FLASHABLE ZIP, THE OTA UPDATE AND IMOSEYON'S KERNEL ON YOUR SDCARD!
Make sure the update file is renamed to "update" and that it's on the root of your sdcard. (not in any folders or anything)
Odin back to EE4. Reboot normally.
Turn the phone off, then reboot into Stock Recovery and run the update.
Once the update finishes and the phone boots regularly. Reboot into Download Mode and plug the phone into the computer.
Start Odin, Uncheck "Auto Reboot", select PDA, NOT PHONE!
Click on the PDA tab and find your recovery file then click "start."
Once it is done and you see the word "PASS" on Odin, unplug the usb cable and press down all three buttons to boot into recovery (volume up, home, power)
Once in recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, mount /system and flash the SU flashable zip.
Go back and wipe cache and dalvik again, mount /system again and flash the kernel.
After that, your recovery will stick and you're good to go. You are now rooted and running on EP4D.
Here is the flashable Super User zip. http://www.multiupload.com/V6R1RZJPXV
Someone needs to squeeze this into a Odin package or somethinggg! Too many newbs that need the easy way around! Lol
Technically just the su package will give permanent root. I'm going to wait for imoseyon to release a kernel from the ota source before replacing stock

Can you elaborate on how to do this? I don't need CWR, just want the camera mod and perhaps themes later, once I can odin a deodexed ROM. A step by step would be great.
Thanks!
You need CWR (Clockwork Recovery MOD) if you want to do any kind of MODing to the phone. This includes themes, kernels, camera mod hacks, etc. It makes doing those kinds of modifications easier since it can modify the system in an offline state which is required to do certain low-level system modifications such as kernels, themes, etc.

Root, EP OTA?

I just finished putting on Clockwork recovery after the OTA and then flashed Imosyen's 4.0 kernel. During the process I heard the Voodoo stuff take place, but upong rebooting my phone I don't have root. I read in these boards on the EE4 OTA that this should have worked, any ideas and has anyone got thier phone rooted on the new OTA?
Thanks.

Try getting back into CW recovery and let me know how that goes. If so then just download superuser and you got it.
No root
I can boot into CWR after using ODIN to put it on once and under voodoo controls app it shows my phone as being voodoo on all partitions, just don't have root. I knew the OTA would kill root, was just hoping thier was a quick fix out there like just flashing a kernel. The phone is pretty snappy though with imoysens kernel running voodoo and using ADW as the launcher. Like what I see so far.

Here is the flashable Super User zip. http://www.multiupload.com/V6R1RZJPXV

I just finished putting on Clockwork recovery after the OTA and then flashed Imosyen's 4.0 kernel. During the process I heard the Voodoo stuff take place, but upong rebooting my phone I don't have root. I read in these boards on the EE4 OTA that this should have worked, any ideas and has anyone got thier phone rooted on the new OTA?
Thanks.

Did you install superuser? I bet you are rooted, but you don't have the tools installed to use it.

Thanks!!! Rooted
spc_hicks09,
Thanks sir, I started from CWR and followed the instructions and it worked! The original instructions I got yesterday didn't have any information on rooting, just on how to install the update. I appreciate the help and if the "spc" in your username represents a military rank, thanks for serving!

You're very welcome for the instructions! Yes the Spc in my name is my rank and thank you for your support!
most if not all root issues can be fixed by simply flashing superuser in CWM (you can get the latest .zip from the dev ChainsDD's superuser site), then downloading/updating it in the market if it doesn't show up

If interested, the CWM version found here is already rooted.
