psfreedom on the new kernel [RESOLVED]

is this a thing? does anyone still care? =D
i found this thread discussing the topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842358
which eventually points to this
http://www.klutsh.com/2010/12/30/htc-legend-mytouch-3g-slide/
i mean, sounds like a good plan to me. i'd like to try the jailbreak but i'm absolutely not downgrading my phone, even if i could find an old rom
i'd try to do it myself, but i'd need pretty straight forward direction

hmm, maybe i'm out of my league xD
i'm using liberated froyo fr008 and the default kernel. can i flash an old kernel?
i mean, without effecting the current rom/system?
anyway, i like liberated but i'ma check out cyanogen now and see what its like =)

I believe the default kernel for liberated let's you overclock and keep your trackball wake and WiFi hotspot also. Previous kernels you would lose all that. Maybe I'm wrong?

No, it's a fully functional recovery, it just add psfreedom menu on the list.

ClockWorkMod 4+ for NS4G?

Does any one have a recovery.img of clockwork version 4 for the nexus s 4g?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686
NS4G version.

i have this one

ok hellcat i sent you an pm telling you how to use it

You do realize it's the same thing I posted right?
All he did was put the .img in a zip file.
The instructions to flash it is to... well, if you're using his .zip which I don't recommend because a MD5 hash is missing. You can try downloading his file and verify it corresponding to that thread. You need to make sure the MD5 hash matches otherwise something could go wrong because you have a bad download.
1. Go to the page I linked, download a NS4G recovery with a color that you'd like on it.
2. Once its downloaded, put the img in your /sdk/tools/ folder.
3. Put your phone into bootloader mode.
4. Open command prompt
5. cd C:\wherever your sdk folder is
6. fastboot flash recovery ns4g-4002-color.img (replace color with the color you got)
E.G. if you downloaded the cyan one, it would be, fastboot flash recovery ns4g-4002-cyan.img
green? --- fastboot flash recovery ns4g-4002-green.img
and so forth.
7. reboot recovery
done.

worked like a charm mike, wish i woulda thought of that but then i again im lazy as someone put it in another thread
i downloaded that from the same place you linked about 4 hours ago
ok zephk i was just giving him the actual file is all, either way it worked out in the end, and with your link someone can find the color of their choice

Yeah but its not the original link. It's also put in a .zip file. Just wanted to explain to him that both of them are the same. So regardless it should work. Just OP should check its MD5hash before actually fastboot flashing it.

Ok let me clear things up. Hellcat was wanting it on his phone so he contacted me asking me how to install so i advidsed him to use the one click method by shabby penquin just replace the recovery in his file with this one and rename it to recovery

yes and it worked perfectly, didnt change anything at all except the version of CWM. do you think we should contact shabby penguin to maybe update his file?

Duh. What did you expect to be changed within Clockwork? That's why the latest is 3.0.2.4 for the NS. Recoveries don't get updated all of the time.
Most of the changes aren't even for the NS tbh.

No? I'm just saying that when you update your recovery you shouldn't be expecting much changes to be coming from it. Clockwork Recovery only gets updated to 4.0.0.0+ to support new devices. That's why the official Clockwork Recovery that is supported by ROM Manager & Koush's current version for the Nexus S is at 3.0.2.4 and not 4.0.0.2.
And I never said it doesn't exist. Yeah I didn't mention "official support" but you should know what I meant. Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm speaking about.

i dont know what youre speaking about, im a self admitted android moron and lazy one click user remember? lol. in fact your directions a few posts back might as well be in Aramaic because i think i was doing that but it wasnt working.
remember im the free floating un braced barrel ceiling guy
all i know is i wanted the same version on my new ns4g that i had on my original and couldnt figure it out after a few hours. and if i knew it was as simple as what mike told me i wouldve done that when i rooted......but i didnt

Okay now I have no idea what you're talking about because you're talking irrelevance now. But anyway, the OP has what he looked for in this thread. Congrats. I only responded to give him his answer on that he was surprised that there wasn't much changes within the recovery.
Nothing is really ever changed in a recovery as it is 100% functional. The Clockwork Recovery version only really increases because of additional support of Clockwork recovery for other Android phones, tablets.

Rooting on 2.3 using GingerBreak?

Does anyone know if this is possible? It's supposed to be as simple as one click and it roots the phone (which is what I wanna do.. keep it easy). For some reason, it was taking a while and it didn't work. I'm just guessing, but is it possible it might not work since 2.3 is relatively new? If that's the case, do I gotta go back to 2.2 for this to work or something like that? Or is there another app I can use that'll work just as easy on 2.3?
Any response is appreciated.
Thanks.

be prepared

no you can not root 2.3.3 at all. you will need to put recovery on and flash a prerooted rom from the development section. all instructions are there.

[Q]Flashing roms help

I have a stock Infuse 4g from AT&T and I would like a step by step, like a tutorial of everything I have to do for flashing custom roms, what to backup, installing CWM, etc. Thanks.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514886
[REF] Super Infuse Noobie Question Thread. Lots of questions answered
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Yes, I know about that thread, but they don't answer all of my questions, like for example: I have stock GB, do I still root with super one click? What is the first step in flashing custom roms, rooting and then installing CWM? How do I install CWM? What to use to backup apps? What is Rom manager from the android market and what is it for, is it useful? How to backup contacts? Before flashing, should I remove the sim card? When flashing, is it always done in CWM? If so, what's the exact process?
What I want is more of a fool proof step by step, just to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. I had to use Heimdall's one click back to stock to go from froyo to GB UCKJ4 because of the boot loop even though the phone wasn't rooted or anything, it was stock. If I did that, what are my options? What should I do if I want to flash custom roms from scratch? Also, CWM is kept even after a factory reset or a wipe? it doesn't get deleted in any way when you want ti flash another Rom?

Wow, I'm sorry but you should do some research first before you ask these questions. Google has an excellent feature called search. I'm sure if you use it you can find your answers as they have all been asked before. Everything I have learned has been from reading and rereading everything I could before I attempted rooting. Android central has a great guide to everything root. Then come back with questions. Sorry to go off but it seems like people just come here to have their hand held. I'm sure you could find someone to donate to on here that would take you by the hand if that's the route you choose.

Let me just throw this out there: as a noob myself, I understand where op is coming from. On forums this large, it is easy to get lost. I also find that I spend so much time reading things that don't answer my questions. I know that's part of the process though, but can feel pretty overwhelming.
May I suggest that not just 1 person has to answer all the questions. Maybe u come across a post like this and answer just 1 or 2 questions, or paste in a link or 2 to where the specific question is answered.
Also, I know that I've asked a question in the most appropriate place & someone has come back saying it's not the right place, even though it's in the q&a - noob - device forum. It's just hard at first. So, pls, don't bust op's chops too bad, b/c somewhere on here it says that it helps everyone if anyone takes some of their time to educate.

Yes. Get rooted. I've used S-O-C twice. Had to play around with it first. I think I ended up being successful by doing it thru my phone, not on the PC.

1st step - root, then - backup more than just 1 way-use some from market and put things in more than 1 place; Titanium Backup seems to be standard around here too. Here is a great youtube link that helped me a lot to prepare: http://youtu.be/ozNVeGPUlU8

Can't think of another way of saying this...HELP!
So, I was able to get 3e and clockworkmod recovery installed on my Infuse. (A great accomplishment for me, trust me)
I went through the process of wiping data and caches to install my new ROM but I put the two zips (Cyan7 & Google Apps) on the external sdcard so when I went to install them I couldn't see them. I thought my only option then was to chose to restore from backup in CM recovery and now I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo.
I tried a battery pull and VOLup/VOLdwn/POWER to try to get into recovery but I'm still stuck on the boot logo. What can I do now?
I'd really appreciate your help. Cheers.

No need to recover. Simple enough. U've tried restarting normal, and it didn't work?

No unfortunately...
I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo. I think my battery pull after being frozen after the restore didn't help matters. I've tried vol+/vol-/power and vol-/power and still can't get into recovery. Plugged into my MAC it's not recognized.

Well, if it were me, I'd pull batt and let it sit while I search this site to see what other people have done when stuck in the loop. You're sure to find answers somewhere in/related to being bricked threads, though I'm sure you're not bricked, so relax and take a breath. I'd offer other suggestions, but I'm too new, so it'd just be speculation on my part.

[Q] Rooting and Unrooting Sensation (One X Method)

Hi, this is my first post and I have looked for the answer but not been able to find it.
I have two questions on the same topic. I have HTC Sensation EU Vodafone running stock ICS.
1) I am half way through rooting my phone with the Hasoon2000's All in one One X rooting kit. More info at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632553
I unlocked Bootloader sucesfully using HTC DEV and then installed clockwork mod like it says in the tutorial. However, the link to the SUperUser ZIP Package is broken so I don't know where to go from here. I have looked around for it but wasn't sure which one to install as I didn't want to take any risks of bricking my phone. Has anyone got the link to one for my phone?
2) Also, I am wondering how to UNflash clockwork mod incase something goes wrong and I want to change my mind about rooting. This is probably simple but I couldn't find the answer anywhere for the sensation. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks!

This is really helpful and a very fast reply! Thanks!
However, I have looked into it and this is great but it isn't actually the SuperUser Zip Package. I know that it is the equivalent but it isn't quite what I was looking for. Sorry. Great answer though.
Also, have you got a link to any ruu.exe for the Sensation because I don't want to use the wrong thing as it might possibly be a very expensive mistake... Thanks!

For more information about installing RUU's just have a look in HERE
edit: Actually you can use the link rzr86 gave you. It does contain the superuser and also busybox. You can flash that and you will be rooted! Good luck!

I looked into it though and it includes a ROM aswell. I know its pretty much the same as the stock one but I don't really want to change my ROM. Sorry for being awkward.

It doesn't include a rom! It is just going to root your device. Anyway! Have a look at THIS then. It's kgs1992 All in One tool kit.

Sorry!!!

I tryed that download but it wouldn't work when I used it and unless I can suddenly find the superuser zip, I think I will just do the ruu.exe thing. I really don't have a clue where to find one though so can you PLEASE give me a link to one. (Im a complete NOOB!)
Also, if I use the Android Revolution thing, can I get back to stock ROM because I made a backup from Clockwork mod (just clicked backup and restore)?

Always make a nandroid backup through your recovery. Yes if you want to go back just select Restore. For the right RUU, read the thread I posted before and there will be some links you can download the right one for your device in step "2.4 To find your RUU". But before you do anything READ it carefully!

YAY! My phone is now rooted! You are epic. Thanks. And to the other guy. The only reason that I kept thinking it was a Rom is because the folder was called Android Revolution. Sorry! I looked into the contents and found that there was only the rooting stuff. SOLVED!:good::good::good:
