So basically my GF wants a faster phone..and ICBINB KJ6 sounds amazing! Here's the thing..her phone is rooted, Galaxy S 4G, and its running 2.3.6...I've looked at the official thread from Team Acid but the INSTRUCTIONS SEEM TO VAGUE for me..as i am somewhat of an amateur..IF YOU CAN PLZ REPLY WITH SIMPLE CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FLASH ICBINB from 2.3.6..That would be *LOVELY*
Download the rom to SD card. Boot into cwm recovery. Choose install update from SD card. Find icbinb zip file. Install.

But i already have Gingerbread? i took a cursory look over the GB starter and it didn't quite look like what i was looking for..
I would flash a gb kernel that would give you cwm recovery

By flash I hope you mean Odin. Cuz if the phone don't already have cwm then he can't flash anything.

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.

Click this link and follow the instructions on how to install nvflash recovery. Very simple. Theirs also videos on YouTube.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
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.

JL... you will learn a lot reading through each of the SR subforums... we all have. When you're done reading and ready to post a question... two suggestions for you:
1. Be clear and specific in your question.
2. Provide enough information so others can assist... for example, what steps did you take... what EXACTLY did you do or flash... file name... are you stock or do have custom rom/kernel/modem/recovery... etc.
BTW, "Update.zip" are installation packages primarily used in older 2e recovery partitions... if you have CWM, you can flash non-samsung zip packages by selecting "install zip from sdcard"... not the "install update.zip" option.

I still am having huge problems with this. I flashed the tar in Odin without the pit file. I then waited a little over 20 minutes with no boot. Now I cannot get CWM to load at all. I tried a stock restore and got the bootloop again. Then flashed CWM back on through Odin. Now CWM wont load and I am stuck on a bootloop.... I am not so sure this way is safe at the moment. Earlier I was able to load a DK8 back through CWM but now it wont load. I might be screwed here...

Did you do a stock restore through Odin or CWM?
If the Blaze is as hard to brick as the Exhilarate is I think you're ok, just need to figure what got mismatched. I pushed all kinds of stuff to the exhilarate before I found that the Blaze was the closest match.

lol it may take a couple days for us to get it fully working. im not sure how making a cwm flashable zip would work. I know with the sensation I had to update firmware then flash so idk how this one will work or not. lol but im sure we will get it figured out just may take awhile.
My Infuse is rooted, i recently reverted back to froyo to make my phone stock but still rooted. Phone was working fine but later that day i decided to
try and flash some mods (BIG MISTAKE). During reboot, phone started vibrating and would only vibrate with dark screen. I tried going into ODIN and flashing the stock Infuse file and seeing if it will fix it but no luck. I tried to go into recovery and ended up formatting the system file and now im stuck at Samsung screen. Need serious help
