I haven't purchased the Charge yet, but I'm planning on pulling the trigger soon. Been reading the forums for a while now. I currently have a rooted OG Droid. Now after using this method, will it keep the root after doing the ED2 update?

No... ED2 will kill root. Do not update to ED2 until root is available.
There is an ODIN'd rom available that has root for ED2 but that is it.

Right on. Thanks for the speedy reply.

With this method will it make your phone go crazy advising you there is an update?

When you say your ROM is rooted, I'm assuming by installing your ROM (following the directions in your thread) it will root the phone and install your ROM all in one shot? Sorry for the noob question.

This method is to root ED1 only. This is not a ROM. If you want a rooted rom see the first 2 or 3 posts in developement.

All charges are shipping with ED1 and verizon has pushed an update which is ED2 so your phone will ask you to update every 5 minutes whether you root it or not. If you update to ED2 then this root method will not work. If you root your phone and then update to ED2 it will break your root.
To stop the update pop up from occuring go into your build.prop file and change all references of ED1 to ED2 and it will stop asking you to update

Right, I understand that. My question was actually in reference to DroidXcon's ROM. He stated that his ROM is rooted. I guess what I'm asking is, by using ODIN to install his (DroidXcon's) file, it will root the phone and install his ROM as well? I'm coming from a rooted D1.

It will install his ROM, which is rooted. It will not "root" the phone as such, but you will have a rooted phone with ability to run Titanium Backup, etc., when done.
Samsung Androids (at least the Fascinate and Charge) are different from most others in that you can flash almost anything with ODIN, regardless of the condition of the phone (rooted or not, currently running or not).

Thanks to DroidXcon and others for creating this one click method. This is by far the easiest method to root your charge on ED1. See attachment
Don't forget to thank me for making rooting easy for you to find and don't forget to thank and donate to DroidXcon for creating it.
The Root method is called GingerSnap and its a One click.
1. Make sure your phone is in debugging mode
2. Make sure you have the charge drivers installed on your PC
3. Download the gingersnap .zip file to your desktop
4. Double click on the gingersnap.exe file and press GO
That's it!!!! Your phone will reboot and you will be fully rooted. (permanent root)

[How To] Root the Rogers Infuse 4G - NOT for AT&T Infuse owners

Instructions:
1) Create a folder on your internal SD card called Voodoo. Then create another folder inside of it called disable-lagfix.
2) Make sure the Samsung USB drivers are installed. Installing Kies is a good way to accomplish this. It shouldn't matter which version of Kies you install as they all contain the same USB driver.
3) Download and unzip Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip.
4) Right click on Odin3_v1.81.exe and run it as administrator.
5) Place your phone into download mode. Do this by powering it completely off and then holding down both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable.
6) Make sure your phone shows up in Odin as COM##.
7) Click the PDA button and choose PDA_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.tar.md5.
8) Press Start.
9) If the phone doesn't automatically reboot after it completes the flash, just pull the battery and then replace it and turn on the phone.
10) You should now be rooted and see the Superuser app installed on your phone.
Optional post root procedures:
-You may want to install BusyBox from the Market after rooting. It's required by some root applications.
-If you would like to revert to the stock kernel after rooting, follow the same procedure but instead use Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip. You will not lose root by reverting to the stock kernel. If you enabled Voodoo lagfix at some point, you must disable it before reverting to the stock kernel.
-If you would like to enable Voodoo lagfix, just delete the Voodoo folder you created on your internal SD card and reboot.
-You may access CWM recovery while using the kernel you flashed to get root. To access it, power off your phone and with the phone powered off hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release.
-You may install my Infused v2 ROM if you wish. Just enable Voodoo lagfix and then follow the instructions titled "Installation from stock or from Infused v1" in my thread. You will not experience the known bugs listed for the ROM like us AT&T owners.
--Downloads--
Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip
Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip
Here are the mirrors for the rogers kernels: (By threi_)
Minus folder for both (and other Rogers stuff will be added)

Yep. ## just means some number, any number.

Com port number doesn't matter; hence the ## designation. Your computer will assign whatever I/O port is currently available. May not always be 05. just as long as you wait 'til one is assigned.

ahhh awesome thanks guys! I just wanted to double check =) I'll let you know how it goes !!

Flashing a kernel doesn't erase any data at all. The kernel is what makes the system boot and work, but it isn't tied to your apps at all.
An analogy I can think of is when you change an engine in a car(change a kernel in a phone), none of the CDs in your radio/songs on your mp3 player(apps/data on your phone) are effected at all.

kernel are backend, drivers and such. they are independent of the rom And data. roms can also be flashed without clearing data even in Odin but many devs write scripts that wipe because left over data can cause many issues, especially if there are roms for different carriers and different OS versions available.

You guys(and gals!) rooted?

Yupp i agree ! I was wondering where we all were lol. I am. Are you on stock chewy?
sent from my bad ass infuse

yeah am still on stock, waiting for GB to 'mature a bit'. Also looking forward to some OC action with the kernels.
Edit: I was rooted with GTG465x's rooting kernel for a few days , then had a couple days with lagfix on, it was much faster! Back on stock one now mostly because I REALLY missed the accelerometer sensor.
Is a fix for the sensor issue in this kernel possible? Any other known bugs?
Am I right In thinking that its best to stay out of clockwork kernels, and to flash back to e3 for daily driver duty on the phone.
Would it be feasible to get a Rogers Kernel with Voodoo and Lagfix on e3?
Thanks for any help!

I hope this isn't a silly question, but...
If I just wanted to root, and stick with the stock Roger's kernel from the get-go, can I just run Odin3_v1.81.exe and select the PDA_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.tar.md5 ? OR do I absolutely need to have Infused pushed first.

You need to flash the Infused kernel first and then flash back to the stock kernel. The Infused kernel is what does the rooting.

@gtg465x
So this kernel is based on stock Rogers but with root and voodoo lagfix...please correct me....thanks

No the ROOTER kernel is not stock(I believe GTG465x is source, and I flashed it before Rogers dumps were made), but its the way to root for Rogers Infuses. The phone worked fine here on that kernel, sensor issue was only one I encountered, Voodoo lagfix WAS quicker too. Be sure to follow Voodoo removal instructions before flashing back to stock kernel. The stock kernel retains root and restores perfect accelerator sensor function.
I am a USER, not a DEV ,so please correct me if I'm wrong, I have a thirst for knowledge.

I don't know what to do anymore...

Hi guys....a few days i have received a system update which i can't update (because i'm rooted) and i keep getting this message.
I have gummycharged 2.0 running and don't know what to do. I know there that gummycharged2.1 is out but i have trield almost every possible way to install it but whatever i do i keep getting the boot loop samsung logo. (i don't know if the 2.1 update would fix the system update i keep getting a message from verizon)
I just simply don't know what to do anymore and any help would be greatly appreciated.
In easy to understand steps as i am still a noob to this.
Thank You

....And the only reason i rooted was to get rid of all that darn bloatware that came with the phone in the first place.
So basically removing the update notification or unrooting back to stock and somehow removing all that boatware.
Any tips/tricks/step by step guide would be extremely appreciated.

Why not just odin the ee4 file with .tar and start fresh?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

I thought i did and still there was TONS of bloatware..
The EE4 takes my phone back to stock right? which is like out the box with bloatware.
If there is something that i can download and use odin to put in my phone, a link or something would be cool.
I thought EE4 brings my phone back to stock which doesn't solve the bloatware problem.

You can flash ee4, download the update, then root and manually remove bloatware.
About gummy 2.1, from what i read, you are trying to flash gbe 2.1 on top of fe 2.0. Instead, you should flash gummy gbe 2.0 (wipe everything) and then 2.1.

[ODIN][ROM][EP4D][FACTORY] Full factory restore 2.3.6 with radio - unrooted 12/7/11
Hot off the press.
sent by genetically altered carrier pigeon with premium xda app.

Try Infinity
If you really want Gummycharged and aren't entirely sure what you're doing, I would just flash the stock unrooted fully bloated ROM, and then flash Gummy 2.0, and then 2.1 (not sure if 2.1 has the newest radios or if it's based on the newest Android, don't really have any experience with it).
If you just want the new radio with root/debloat, you can search for ROMS on XDA that have simply taken the stock GB 2.3.6 with EP4D and rooted/debloated it.
I recommend InfinityROM, it is super smooth and super stable, is up to date with the latest of everything, and is more pleasant to use than the stock ROM. You'll want to install Clockwork Recovery first (use ODIN and read instructions, it isn't difficult!).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804&highlight=clockwork
Then just go to the InfinityROM thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377977&highlight=ep4d+stock
and follow the instructions, again, simple. Basically just download the ROM, put it on your SD card, boot phone into recovery mode and install the ROM from there.
Then, enjoy your rooted/deodexed/debloated 2.3.6 EP4D love!

This is real rough, but I trust that you can do it yourself if you've already rooted on EE4.
Go to the developer forum, odin an EP4D rooted rom, odin Clockwork recovery.
Then in clockwork recovery flash imnuts latest kernel. http://t.co/Lvu2dacG . It has voodoo sound improvements. FYI, it hasn't been posted yet in its full form. So if you wait a week or so there will be a better version I'm sure.

yea, i used odin before so that won't be an issue. i will try what you said and report back.

Infuse 4G 2.3.6 how to root?

try vagabond 3.5. It's almost completely stock but rooted.
If you follow directions, you can also flash the stock kernel and retain root.
There is no simple conventional method of root like SOC on the Infuse 2.3.6
---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------
If you wanted to retain the odex file system,
you will need to flash a gb insecure kernel.
install superuser and busybox
flash back the stock kernel and fix the vold file.
it will be fun to try

Anyone here ever heard of or used OTA Rootkeeper? I have no clue if it will work on a Kies install method (never actually flashed through Kies) but, with my Transformer Prime, we used said app to retain root privileges after an OTA update from Asus. Worked everytime for me, even when updating to ICS from Honeycomb, so maybe Froyo to GB will be similar.
I don't have my Infuse with me (left it at home) or I would attempt it myself. It would be great if someone with prior kernel flashing knowledge could try it; if it doesn't work you can just flash a kernel to get your root back.
Additionally when we first got GB last summer I remember seeing a how-to from a dev explaining how we would achieve root on GB once AT&T released the update (since SOC only works with Froyo for us)...

I have used the ota rootkeeper on my atrix 2 when it got updated. Its a pain in the ass to use. The infuse does not need it plus i don't think it will work. Rooting the infuse is easy if you use the appropriate kernels.

I actually thought it was pretty friggin simple. Open the app/Protect Root/Temp. Unroot/Install OTA Update/DL Rootkeeper/Open/Restore Root. Seems pretty painless to me
And the OP wants as close to stock as possible, sure to me and you flashing an unsecure kernel is easy to gain root, but most ppl would rather have a one click executable through a PC w/ the right drivers for phone.
Soo I was thinking, the Kies Update shouldn't erase everything (apps, sdcard, etc.), Rootkeeper stores su in a place that isn't wiped during an OTA. I could be wrong, the app might not even be compatible, but I don't have my Infuse to try..
The process, if it works, requires very little knowledge to do and gives you root w/o messing w/ kernels:
1. Start from the latest Froyo stock build/ use SuperOneClick w/ drivers to root.
2. DL Rootkeeper/open/protect root/temp. unroot.
3. Run Kies and install the update
4. On your fresh GB build DL Rootkeeper from market, open/restore root.
5. Open Rootchecker and see if it worked. Done.
If it doesn't work, flash a kernel. (hell, what have we lost anyways, 30 mins?)
This weekend I'm driving home for the weekend, I can try it then; till then, any takers?
Again, if you have to know-how to flash a kernel, do it, I'm just brain storming alternatives for those who don't or don't want to.

I gave my personal Opinion about the ota rootkeeper. I just don't like it. Its easy yes but I personally would rather do it manually with a computer. Plus it will not work with kies. Kies is different than a ota update. The leak lb3 is the exact same as official. He can use kies to update, flash a rooted gingerbread kernel then flash the stock lb3 kernel. He will then be rooted with stock kernel.

Your right, its your opinion, and Rootkeeper most likely will not play well w/ Kies. Trust me, I would much rather flash a kernel for su, it really is a lot easier than some noobs might think.
As for Kies, I clearly stated that I haven't use Kies for an update, that it might not work and that I could be wrong I'm fully aware Kies is different than OTA; I'm pretty sure it wipes where the su binaries are protected, I only offered a suggestion for the OP, again b/c jumping into flashing things just for root sounds scary. The whole point was to voice possible alternatives, etc, you know, cuz that's what we do here at xda...
@OP, if you want to gain root through a kernel, I would suggest first looking into THESE links as you might have to use some methods listed there.
Also Qk's Back to stock guide HERE can get you to stock B3 w/ custom recovery (rather easy), and his Vagabond Rom has great instructions concerning his rom and stock kernels if need be HERE. Make sure to thank qkster for these. (I guess he has spent a lot of time with the B3 leak. )
We are kind of late to the GB party, it seems things aren't as straight forward as they were in Froyo or GB <= 2.3.5. The links should get you pointed in the right direction to get your phone stock + root. Good luck and READ up!
