Hopefully someone can help me out on this one because I'm not quite sure what to do at this point. I have a G2x that was having multiple issues so I decided to root and install clockworkmod recovery so that I could flash CM7RC1. I flash CM7RC1 successfully but failed to realize that I did not properly install CWM as I accessed it via ROM manager (lack of proper reading on my part). Since going to CM7RC1 I've lost root and am unable to use Super One Click 1.9.1.0 to get it back. I seem to have lost all Linux commands (ls won't even work through the terminal emulator) so when Super One Click runs it says FAIL as it cannot chmod or mount. If you have any idea on how I can restore root or CWM let me know. Thanks!

HA! Well be that as it may, is there anything I can do...or am I stuck?
Fixed the issue by NVFlashing Clockworkmod recovery with TGA_Gunnman's excellent one-click utility. After that it was easy to restore the backup I had made.
hi.
I've tried search and not managed to resolve this, though I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
Just been given a htc desire, to replace my spica, and want to remove simlock and root (for apps2sd, adblock etc)
i removed simlock using the bootable iso downloaded from here
trying to follow the rooting guide for the One click Radio S-OFF, SimUnlock tool, and I'm hitting "unknown error, probably connection
using search I found a suggestion to use adb shell, followed by su, which gives permission denied.
I then downloaded terminal emulator and typed su, permission denied.
So I guess I don't have root, even though I installed visionary+ and clicked temproot now followed by attempt permroot now, and the reboot.
What should I do to complete rooting the phone?
Thanks

I don´t know if this will help you but I just used this guide to root my desire, it was my first time and all went fine.

ha ha, I was a bit too late. Glad to hear you got it sorted.
If your interested in a good rom, I recommend RCMixS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988570
and this script to speed up the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111145
works great
thanks for the rom suggestion, having had no end of problems (mainly lockups) after flashing my spica I'm gonna steer clear for a little while...
..though I am very, very tempted
If I had the time I would be flashing all day!

Does anyone know how to get around this? I need to change the Location to Read-Write.. no clue how to though.
I joined these forums to learn how to root my admire, and so it seems its not possible yet?
Samsung admire root?
Does anyone have any idea how to root this or when a root will be made for this I can see it becoming a popular phone for the price and features. I can't wait for a root for this anyone have any idea how long it will take before one is released? For the price of the phone it is incredibly nice much nicer and faster than the optimus or huawei M835
Samsung Admire ROOT
Ugh been looking everywhere 2... I guess its just to soon
I am also in search of Root for the Admire.
There might be one way but I don't know how to boot into our recovery menu.

To get into Recovery Mode:
1) Turn phone off.
2) Press and hold Back, Volume Down, and Power keys.
3) Continue holding all three keys until device powers on and recovery menu appears.
Navigate using volume up/down keys, and Home key for enter.
Took me a few minutes to figure out how to do it myself last night.
UPDATE: Tested the method you linked to, does NOT work.

First off the noob video was/is funny as H+!*. I'm stuck in the same boat with rooting my Samsung Admire. Metro PCS is my carrier. I'd like any updates on rooting ASAP, thanks.
Something caught my eye but I don't understand. Can someone help.

I don't think there are kernals compatible with the samsung admire's kernal. There might be, but I'd rather not risk bricking my phone.
I have a feeling that we won't get root for a while, unless someone can find a developer somehow, seeing that all of these new 2.3.4 devices just getting root access.
Hi,
I did S-off with revolutionary. After that it asked for downloading latest recovery and i pressed y. but then that program hanged. Now if i go to boot to recovery
i get a dark screen with picture of mobile phone and an exclamation mark !!! (same icon as this thread has with red color )
I then tried gingerbreak to root...no success.
Tried superoneclick no success

One-click Root and Gingerbreak don't work.... at all!
So, to help you out here's what you need to do: Re-run Revolutionary!
The reason you THOUGHT the program had hung is because it was downloading the Clockwork Mod Recovery files in the background (you need to be patient).
Once that's done...
Download this ZIP file, and place it on the root of your SD card.
With your phone connected to your PC via USB cable (and command prompt open in the Platform-tools folder of the Android SDK) type "adb reboot recovery"
From recovery, you want to install the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file onto your phone (Install update from Zip, Choose Zip from sdcard).
Bingo.... rooted phone! Enjoy!
I waited for almost 10 minutes on this screen
This program has stopped working
And without doing all this can I install custom ROM sense 3.0 ?
Issue solved. Downloaded img zipped and flashed from hboot
thanks anyways
Please help me out. I have followed the rooting guide 'Method one' instructions exactly as given. Only I get stuck at the SuperOneClick part. I get failed at Getting mount path...
After getting error I see two new apps installed
CWM and SuperSU
I don't see busybox anywhere as mentioned in the guide

That said on checking with Root Checker app by joeykrim it shows I have root access.

Someone please tell me soon what to do next cause I'm just stuck here scared to go ahead and use my phone. I've still put it on flight mode for past almost 2 hours
