ok So I just got my gx2 and i flashed it with NVFlash and got the clockwork boot installed. I did a back up of the original OS 2.3.3
My Question is this. Do i need to root it inorder to be able to install CM7 on it. Or can I get a prerooted 2.3.3 from somewhere?
Thank you for your help.
CM7 is already rooted, flash it via clockworkmod and Voila you have a rooted device. No root needed to flash things, just clockworkmod.
Okay the subject is clear. I upgraded from nexus one to a used nexus s today with miui installed on it. And as i saw billions of threads all around the web about bricked phones after update to ics i thought it would be good to ask.
I have miui and i just want to upgrade to stock ICS and want to keep the root. Please tell me if there is some special instructions i should follow.
Thanks!
Since you are coming from Nexus One, I guess there is nothing special.
* Get the full OTA ROM for your phone model from the link in my signature
* Flash it via CWM recovery
* Get the updated su and Superuser from here (download the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip one)
* Flash it as usual
* Done!
Note: If you booted into ICS before flashing Superuser package, you will have to re-flash CWM recovery again because the recovery will be reverted back to the stock one.
So there is nothing special that i have miui thing installed. I will just install IC via CWM like i have ginger bread on my phone.
Is there an easy step by step guide for all of this, i didn't make an update for a long while so i kind of forgot things?
thanks!
just flash a rooted stock rom, if you install stock then you will lose root and recovery!
okay i updated just using the stock 4.0.3 rom. it was stuck with the dead android screen. then i used recovery to flash the same rom. it is working flawlessly. i had to install just the cwm recovery. other than that i didnt loose my root.
The toolkit states that a full bootloader unlock, root, and cwm recovery installation is possible either separately or with “1 –click”. Elsewhere in the forum it is stated that android will revert to stock recovery if cwm is flashed to a stock ROM. Does the toolkit method solve the problem of reverting to stock recovery if not immediately flashing a custom ROM and staying with stock ROM? Or does this mean it will always revert to stock recovery when booting back into stock ROM unless the specific file listed is removed from /system?
hi i would like to install carbon rom on the samsung i9000. my home button is broken and can not use recovery. i have flashed froyo on the phone first as i had eclair before. now i want to install a custom rom but odin does not allow for zip files to be flashed any ideas?
Hello!
I have currently instaled rom cm-10.1-20131117-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip, with cwm recovery, rooted.
What is the procedure for installing to factory rom android 2.3.6, I have the right archive "Samsung-Updates.com-I9070-MSR-I9070XXLK2-1352977295"?
If possible without Odin and windows... Anyhow possible to update from cwm?
Thx.
