Has anyone figured out why the stock build of gingerbread can not be rooted without flashing a rom? Even though I have not flash a rom before, I just don't have a food grasp of tthe concept.
I preferred the superoneclick method, bit that still seems to be a bust on the G2X gingerbread stock build.
Any real answers?

Same here. I just got my droid charge and did the ED4 update out of the box. I tried GingerBreak but was unsucessful.
There is no rooting process for ED2 or EE4. If you are on stock EE4 you need to go here to get a EE4 build with root already done to it. The only build you could root so far is the original ED1 build.
Here is a link to what you will need tho http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116867
Actually, you can do this by simply loading a rooted kernel. Here's the quick and dirty instructions, I'll make a better post later.
Download the PBJ kernel from here on to your SD Card:

Use Odin to install CWM from here:

Boot in to CWM and install the PBJ kernel.
After that, you should be rooted.
Is there going to be a root process at somepoint that gives people root who dont want to flash kernals or roms? Similar to the ED1 root with gingersnap?

I'd be surprised, since Odin is so easy. I'm not sure what the one-click method did to get root, though, so maybe it wouldn't be too hard for someone to do.
Can you root stock EE4 with odin? I thought you had to load a rooted kernel or something like that.

No, you do need to load a kernel. Here's the detailed How-To I wrote up:

So I am on the original KF1 Rom right now(I know, I am falling behind). I want to flash the new DevilBread rom. Here is my question: I will need to Odin back to Froyo in order to use CWM to install DevilBread. Will this install the Froyo bootloaders again, or am I OK to just flash DevilBread right after without doing anything?
Thanks!
I think you would be good to go straight away unless you use a completely stock froyo rom but with something like deodexed kd1 I think you would be good

Cool. Exactly the Rom that I flashed to in order to get CWM. It appears to be working perfectly fine so far.
if you are going to use kd1, use dr honks, not whitehawks. it has a faulty system partition
Anybody have wifi problems after root. On stock rom just rooted. Im also unable to root. Says software version is below 2.0
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Well it depends on the ROM and on the Modem...Since you are rooted and feel that your wifi is all of a sudden glitching...try a different modem or a different ROM.
For ROMs i recommend you jump straight to Gingerbread because froyo is very very old and almost nobody uses it anymore.
For Modems, i believe you should be on UCKE5 you can check in your settings/about phone/baseband version
I recommend you try UCKE3 or some Gingerbread modems.
As for installing ROMs/Modems, you need to have modded 3e recovery and ClockWorkMod installed. Im assuming you know how to do that and/or already have done that. If not PM me or ask here.
Find all ROMs and Modems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293751
you can find almost every ROM and Modem or kernel or whatever that you desire.
EDIT: So you arent rooted yet and are asking IF there are problems? No. rooting does not effect any of that stuff. Only ROMs and Modems do.
Well I just did the root and didnt do any roms. Still stock but root. Just unrooted and seems better

I am one of the few that have been able to upgrade to the Official GINGERBREAD.UCKL2, 2.3.6, Kernal 2.6.35.7-I997UCKL2-CL806505. But now i need a Root. Are there any options out there. I dont use it for roms i just like to be able to remove apps and other stuff that being rooted lets you do.
No, there isn't... you have to flash a rooted kernel, then you will lose video, or you could flash one of the custom uckl2 Tom's with everything working. The official update is crap anyway

Yes i also want to know about the same.
So i recently got an galaxy s2 skyrocket and performed my first android root using the skyrocket easy root zergrush app.
I am running stock 2.3.5 and am on ATT . The only things i have done is install the COM, froze the tether, and un installed a few bloatware items
My question is...
How would i restore this to stock? Un root and all?
Also how would i install 2.3.6?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
2.3.6 got pulled, so you'd have to install a custom rom.

That answers alot!
When 2.3.6 or the next release is published will i be able to get it via a normal "check for updates"

If you rooted using DoomLord's method, then use this.

For 2.3.6 I would flash Silver's zip for the rom. You will need CWM.

Fellow noob
So I'm fairly new to android as well, I would highly suggest taking a look this thread goes over rooting, kernals roms and going back to unroot...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268
Then a couple of the apps that have really helped me out are Titanium Back up and Rom Manager. Makes flashing roms very easy, between easily flashing CWM and rebooting into CWM with just a click. Then TB with it's auto backup's and being able to quickly restore when you've flashed that new rom. (I paid for both of these apps, so I'm not sure what features the free versions have)
I flashed to Silvers rom to get to 2.3.6 and it's working great, was very easy to do!
Anyways, hope this helps!
