Noob rooting question

I'm fairly new to rooting and I have the basic idea down. My only quesiton is once I flash a kernal that has CWM and root and then install a rom with CWM (assuming I got that part right) if I decide I want to go back completely stock is all I have to do flash a stock version of this phone through odin? Thanks in advance

You got it. Wish it was harder but its' that easy. You can find the stock unrooted version in the dev forum. Happy rooting.

Thanks!

If you flashed EP1W, you're already rooted. I don't know of any EP1W builds that have been released unrooted. Check for the Superuser app. You should have it, and if you do, you're rooted.

Would it be with all my other apps

no problem yeah its kind of an information overload at first, I felt the same when I first got an android phone...
CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
just use Odin to flash CWM, then boot into it right after you Odin it and flash the attached .zip (put on your sd card first)... and presto you'll be rooted

what section to I put the files in odin lie pda phone etc.

the CWM file should be a .tar or .tar.md5 and you put it in PDA (never touch any of the other buttons except PIT), uncheck auto reboot box as well since you should have the battery in to flash with Odin... after it successfully flashes unplug the phone and pull the battery, then put the battery back in and hold volume up + home + power until 'Samsung' comes up then let go of power while holding the other buttons still until CWM comes up then flash superuser there

[Q] what recovery is use

for my phone i try the CWM from rom manager, but my recovery have the samsung recovery ? @[email protected]? and i has seen other talking bout cwd dont work and then im not sure but something call kG4 ??
i rooted my phone with the superone click but i cant get a recovery so i can flash ROMs on my phone ??

I recommend you to ODIN one of the customize ROM or KERNEL in the development session first to get the CWM ( most of the case it was integrated to the ROM or kernel) then you can flash any ROM you want.

Or use the cwm final thread in the dev section.

Yikes dude. Just follow the many guides on the Bible... It can't get any easier than those guides. Use Odin to get CWM via Dr. Honks kernel.

Did it work? If so, let the dev and others know. Now you can help some people. I knew nothing when I started but hung onto certain things and passed them on. Hope you do the same.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

On xda theirs no root method for 2.3.3. What you have to do is install a recovery, once you do that you can flash ROMs. And of course the ROMs give you root access.

There isn't only if you want to be technical. Unlockroot works, most likely your AV software is blocking it. Alternatively, you can do what the previous poster suggested, toss on CWM, and either load a custom ROM or a rooted stock one. Look in the dev section.

ERNK! WRONG!
But seriously, there is a method on here that works. Check out my signature. It has the link for a working root for the G2x. The instructions can get a little "huh?" because of how they put it all together, but if I can pull it off first try, anyone can, lol.
Just PM me if ya need any help.

I almost forgot, be sure to actually flash CWM with Nvflash. And only use CWM to flash a ROM. Stay far, far away from Rom Manager. It's not a true flash.

There are 3 ways to root g2x
1. Superoneclick stock 2.2.2 froyo rom
2. Flashable zip above stock 2.3.3 rom
3. Nvflash a rooted rom.

Silly rooting question.

So I'm wondering if there is an easy way to root from the phone? Or any way for that matter. I'm on a cappy with stock 2.3.5 and wow it sucks. Its my wife's phone as I soft bricked my phone trying to flash helly bean over firefly 3.0. I'm guessing I didn't have the gb bootloaders. Though with this phone I do have them and should be able to easily flash helly bean with no problems once its rooted and I flash the proper kernal.

I always go to 4-2ndtwin's helpful links in his signature and use either Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel that will allow you to flash roms. Then you can just boot into recovery and flash.
I think there is a mobile odin on the market.

Ill look for mobile Odin.

Odin requires root. Is there a way to root from the phone?

No, you dont need root to use odin. Make sure you read up and find instructions. Flash a kernel with root and apply via CWM and there you go.

Mobile Odin does require Root.
And nope, no way to Root just from phone.
But there is no need to get Root if u r just gonna flash a Rom anyway. U will however need to use Odin or Heimdall to flash a kernel with the CWM Recovery baked in. (i recommend KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A ). Once u have flashed that kernel, just use button combo to reboot into cwm and then install ur Rom of choice that u should have already copied on ur phone. Success :thumbup:
