Just like the title says. I can't figure out how to root my Samsung Mesmerize now that I upgraded to gingerbread.
I used to use superoneclickroot when it was on eclair and froyo and it worked fine. It not longer works now that I have gingerbread.
Anyone know how to get it rooted?
Thanks in advance !
I bought my phone with gingerbread and I'm looking for somthing too. Nothing out there.

Currently, there is no way for us to root our phones on stock GB. You have to flash a pre-rooted ROM.
Actually I did this and it worked. Flash cwm with Odin then flash this in recovery. Rooted it just fine for me.

I can't remember who discovered that. But it wasn't me. But it does work.

A friend of mine just got one of these. Why are there no instructions on how to root these phones?
Slo how does a person root this phone? It has Gingerbread, was purchased 3 days ago.
Thanks
I got my Mesmerize yesterday with GB on it. All I did was grabbed the latest MIUI from miui.us and placed it on the sd. Then I flashed cwm in odin, booted to recovery and flashed the miui zip.
Sent from my MIUI'd Mesmerize
Alright so I am seeing too many things without referenced links to anything. I have odin. I downloaded the flashable_root_package. I have no idea what cwm is.
Can someone please point me to a step by step tutorial? I have been lurking the web for a few days now, with no definitive guide or answers for the Samsung Mesmerize. Thanks in advance for the clarification and help!
There are tutorials on rootzwiki in the mesmerize forum. That's also where all the devs are now due to issues here at xda.

Is your version 2.2?

Download that. Put it on your SD Card. Choose Install Zip from SD Card. Install it. It'll give you superuser permissions.
I went to rootz wiki and grabbed the cwm odin file, odin'd that over stock with reboot unchecked and held volume up + volume down + power button. Got into cwm and flashed MIUI and all is working great.

So after 2 days of trying to go from froyo to gingerbread to get raverX3X's octane rom I initially lost my mobile connection somehow. I noticed it last night while I still had froyo. When I switched over to GB this morning I noticed still no network? Idk if it has something to do with the process of installing the roms, or T-mobile's problem? I'm not even sure if I have the rom in hahah, so it'd be nice if someone can at least confirm that for me.
Heres some info on the phone.
Mobile Network Type: Out of service
Mobile network state: disconnected
IMEI: Unknown
IMEI SV: Unknown
Firmware version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: Unknown
Kernel version: 2.6 35.7-T959VUVKJ6-CL694130
Build number: GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6
I need my connection going to make work easier lol. thanks!
These people are likely having the same problem.

I don't understand how all of your IMEIs got wiped.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Oh I'm not the only one thank god haha. Yeah hopefully there will be a solution soon!
mrchovee, do me a favor and take out your battery for 10 minutes and see if that fixes it and post back please. Thanks in advance.
I wonder if the IMEI actually got wiped, if it can't be read (permissions), or if it has something to do with the modem (baseband) not being recognized?
- If you have CWM installed have you tried booting into recovery & fixing the permissions?
- Have you tried flashing back to stock using Raver's ODIN KJ6 ROM (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353176) or one of the KC1 ROMs (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129933)?
Wow taking out the battery for 10min worked perfectly! thank you so much!! right before work too haah!
Nice find, Silvercar!
Glad it worked.
EXACT same problem here since last night :-(
Still searching for solutions.
I have one question, I made BU's thank god, what I want to know if ROM BU's actually back up all folders including the EFS, which holds the IMEX etc ??

OMG, it worked.....everything is back to normal...IMEX too...wohooooooooooo
So this is a problem related to No SERVICE......cause the minute i had service back, everything reappeared.
Now, I have to do all my New Rom's again.........small price to pay for a solution
I had the same problem and I ended up doing an exchange for 20 dollars since I was still in warranty. I wish I knew about the battery trick earlier...
Just so everyone knows I started a thread called "No carrier signal + IMEI Problems = take out your battery" a while back. Try and search it, it should come up.
damm thats crazy the battery thing worked
haha i thanked you bro
So I flashed CM7 on my D2G and after the reboot I tried to boot into my clockworkmod recovery to wipe the data so the bootloop would end, but when i hold power/x I get the little android guy with the exclamation point in a triangle above him but when i press the magnifier/search button nothing happens. I know that all I need to do to make the rom work is wipe my data. so how would I go about doing that without having to reflash with sbf and everything? is there a way to fix my clockwork mod? or another way to erase my data?
First, you cannot enter CWM like that.
Power + X takes you to the stock recovery; on 4.5.x, you need to press the volume buttons together to enter it, not the hardware keyboard's Search button.

I know that this is anancient thread, but i decided to take a crack at mt D2G today and successfully rooted it and was able to get to the bootstrap recovery, but after installing the cm7 and gapps, the darn thing is just stuck at the red m screen indefinitely. I let it sit there for about 5 min, and to avoid having my battery die, i pulled it and started reading. I really dont wanna sbf it (if i really dont have to) and i need to get to clockwork recovery. Any suggestions?
you need to sbf, see how to use rsd lite in my list
official cm7 is still froyo, use the versions in my list, they work

that was my fear :/ in my impatience, i SBF'd and got it to boot back up just fine, but now im curious as to what i did wrong in my flash... im no noob, i have 7 android phones and theyre all happily rooted with a bevy of rom nands and zips at my disposal to flash whenever i want. Its not rocket science, but the bootstrap thing is just weird to me... i factory reset, wiped caches (a couple times for good measure) and then flashed the rom zip followed by gapps and there i was... stuck at that go..amned red M... what the h-e-double hockey sticks am i doing wrong here??

official cm7 is still flashed on froyo kernel, if your phone is on android 2.3.4 you can not go back to froyo kernel

I suggest just using Pooka-CM4D2G-GB-20120519 it is newest cm7 that works on gingerbread kernel

worked like a charm!! (since we're both in south dakota) if your license plate starts with a 1, lemme know when i can buy you a beer!
only thing fishy is how verizon/motorola changed the unlock codes, so that some d2gs can not be unlocked, most still can be unlocked, there is atleast 3 different code generating algorithms, you may need to try all 3, but the 1st one works for most

no, if you want it unocked, and not using verizon, you need to buy a code

all 3 of these should work, if first code does not work, only retry it 1 more time, then request a different code or a refund.
you have a limited number of tries before you get locked out, so don't waste them on a code that doesn't work

Looks like you got it figured out. They call that a soft brick. It happened to me.
its called not unlocking your bootloader before flashing custom firmware on your device. my suggestion is to read the guides stickied around here before your soft brick turns into a hard brick!
Are you saying that the Rom runs ok but when you goto recovery you get the triangle? i was reading something about how the stock recovery can be re flashed by accident in some situation, try odin recovery again?

Nope. What he did is exactly what droidstyle said. He didn't unlock his bootloader which is the first step you should take after rooting your phone if you are going to be playing with any ROMs.

I think he had to have his bootloader unlocked to flash the Rom in the first place. My guess would be that he relocked it at some point.

If CM10 is anything like Synergy it does a check for the bootloader being unlocked and if it is locked still it skips installing the kernel. The rest of it goes along fine.

Okay I am a NUBE. I ran casual and then odin everything worked good. ThenI started getting errors when i was opening apps. So I was going to go back to stock. I ran oden again, this time using the bootloaderbaseline.tar 1,030K file. Now I am getting system software not authorized by verizon wireless found on your phone.
Now when I hook up to the usb cable it will not recognize to try and reload the bootloader.
any suggestions... Thanks again.

Hello to all,
I'm new to write, but I read you a long time because I have more terminals Android.
I installed the ROM Android Revolution HD by Mike 1986 (v3.5) a few days ago and I can say that everything worked smoothly on a TF101G. :good:
But, last night I installed ARHD 3.5.1-Power-Menu-signed and there, always in bootloop!
Do you have any suggestions? How can I go back without reflash all over again? I have the CWM v5.8.3.4.
As I am new, I can not write directly on his thread.
Thanks all!
