Are you trying to root from stock ee4? The question was a little vague and I want to make sure before typing it all out.

Yes that's what im trying to do

I think there is a rooted stock ee4 in the development section. Let me see if I can find it. I think you would then just install using Odin with is in a sticky at the top.

Why do you want rooted stock ee4? To debloat?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121201
Found this but seems like alot to go through just for root. Easier to find a debloated version and just add back in what you want. Im still new at this myself.
If you are only worried about root and do not want to flash a custom ROM you only need to:
1. Download CWM from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804.
2. Flash it to your phone using odin, make sure you selct PDA and uncheck auto-reboot. When finished boot straight into recovery just to make sure everything worked.
3. Install superuser from the market or download the .apk and flash through cwm. =)
That's it, if you have any questions about how to use odin please refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580
Knew there was an easier way lol. Guess I learned another thing for today.

Not sure if you can achieve root on this phone without a custom kernel.
As far as I'm aware if you do go with a custom kernel when Verizon releases an update you will need to revert back to stock to be able to receive it.
If that's ok with you go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205428 and follow steps 1, 2a ,2b. you'll be sitting rooted and stock at that point. if you go with the pbj voodoo kernel (i'm using it) it will give you root and speed your phone up quite a bit. after that just download superuser from the market and go nuts.

I will just start by saying that this was first time rooting for me...
Please help.me in easy words. Other threads were too confusing
I have done the odin root to ee1 and my phone was rooted.. There was a ee4 update... I read some threads and thoight it was okay to just download from.the pop up thing to ee4...

It looks like you got the update just fine (you must not have had voodoo lag fix).
Do you still have root?
You're now at stock EE4. If you're happy with it, great! If you want root again, you'll need a new kernel. Check this post out:

Yes, those are all apps that require root.
Soooo. Im planning on getting this phone. Soon. Realllll soooooonnnnn.
And there are a few things i want to know.
Does this phone have a radio/spl like the htc g1? (just an example) where we have to flash a new radio/spl to flash a certain rom? or can we just flash any rom straight from cwm?
and im not sure whether im going to be getting a rooted or unrooted phone, so to be on the safe side, say i'm not rooted. Is there a way i can root it without a computer?
Once rooted, i know i can flash the "wannabe cwm" from rom manager to flash roms.
Im also from the sgs4g forums where we can go into download mode/recovery mode by the volume button + power button combinations. Is this pretty much the same?
All answers appreciated. (even though im sure not all of them will be quite related to this post and rather flaming me telling me to go search before posting, but maybe thats just the other forums)
Thanks for everything guys. Hope to be a great member and a flashaholic with the g2x
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
This phone will be much better than the SGS4G.
First off, do not flash CWM from ROM Manager. The G2x needs a slightly custom CWM.
Best way is to flash CWM via NVFlash. It's kind of sorta like going into download mode. There's couple threads on it in the Development section, so it's easy to find. And you need a computer for that. Once that's done that's pretty much it... Just wipe data, dalvik cache, and head into mounts and format /system. Once you did those 3 things then flash whatever ROM you want.
You don't have to worry about SPL, radio, modem, etc. Good luck.

You don't need root to flash a new ROM for the G2x. You just need CWM via NVFlash.

No, you flash CWM from NVFlash. You flash ROM's through CWM.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Alright so.. ima be flashing cwm via nvflash tomorrow. If it bricks my phone, can i get the solutions to fix it? Im asking now just in case something happens tomorrow. Thanks guys.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
i sincerly doubt you will brick your phone. Using NvFlash is pretty much easy enough for a monkey so you should be okay.
After that find a already rooted rom you want to load up through CWM. If your staying stock without loading up a new rom you need to get superoneclick to root it.
Tips: Don't unistall system apps unless your sure you don't need them. Once you unistall a system app and you hard reset it won't be there.
Recommended is stock foryo (rooted) rom or Ultimate Froyo Rom
invest a few bucks into gold standard apps (rootexplorer, setcpu, etc)
Hit me up if you have any general questions
Im not a noob. All i needed was to get cwm on my phone.
And i only asked about radios because phones with radios (like the g1 for example) had to flash a different radio to flash a rom. . that question was answered.
And i asked about the nvflash because i bricked my other phone a couple of times via odin. . And that question was also answered.
Currently running weapon g2x. deleted all bloatware/useless items. Just want to ask if i can download the samsung keyboard from my galaxy s 4g. (pushing the keyboard apk to the g2x.) and how would i add korean to it? As im pretty sure we'd have the language somewhere else.
Other than that, thanks all. .

Mmm, many questions...
Do you try full wipe/factory reset before installing new room?
Are you using a kustom kernel? If yes, try to reflash it. Customs kernels also includes CWM Recovery.
Sorry for my english!
Luck!
I did a full reset wipe and no I just installed the rom. Which at the moment I'm forgetting what its called
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Well. This is the first custom room you installed? If not, probably is a room bug, or the compatibility with your phone is not 100% funtionally.
If yes, perhaps the root is not correct. Why you dont try to re-root your phone?
Or try with another room and tested.
If still not working, dont worry, we will solve it!
Try BH's back to stock one click.
I'm curious what ROM you are using? Go to settings - about phone and it will tell you the name.
It was the ICBINB rom I believe.

i got this phone yesterday and i'm not new to android or custom roms. but i derped pretty hard and stopped at step 7b of this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
and it would mount the sd card, but i noticed i didn't finish so i did the other steps and i've been able to flash roms, this program can also return you to stock i believe (some one else should confirm, or you can read about it in the wiki)
so if nothing else works you should try it.

I'm a complete noob and I need help.
Like many other I had the bug to do stuff with my phone, I kept hearing about Odin, Flashing... Hey Root your phone. So what do I do? I head to YouTube, watch some videos and be a master of my phone by days end.
I ruined my phone!
I played with Odin, i probably installed the worn stuff. I rooted with superone click, and installed a bunch of junk and it didn't do crap for my phone. As a matter of fact its running the same Froyo and its giving me a bunch of error messages.
Please someone help me, I want to restore to stock, and start from scratch. Odin is not recognizing the phone, I have tried to wipe all data, unroot and it will not unroot.
I don't know what to do.
Thanks!

Sorry you're having issues. If you want to get back to stock Froyo, you can use FBis251's:
kd1-stock-sgh-t959v-one-click.jar
If you want to get on stock Gingerbread, you can use bhundven's:
T959VUVKJ6 Stock UVKJ6
Both are based on Heimdall. If you read through the Gingerbread one-click post it will give you directions on how to use either of these to get you where you want to be.
Let me know how it goes.

What? Is that what you would do if you are on Froyo? You need to flash back to Froyo with the KD1 One-Click Stephen linked in his post and follow your own advice. Good luck with that.
And why would you flash a "GB kernel" after Gremlim Remover? You need to read more and bring yourself up to speed.
Stephen actually knows what he is talking about and answered the guy.
Gb is stock now and getting him a gb rom was his original goal anyway. I gave the best answer to achieve his goals ether way. Otherwise in order to get to GB he will have to use kies ( or wait for the TMobile update,) then go from there by rooting.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Oh Gremlin remover loads not just the kernal but a complete gingerbread STOCK prerooted then if he chooses to load other ROMS he can load a new GB kernal and go from there.

I'll be nice this time. Gremlin Remover does not flash GB bootloaders for you. Gremlin Remover has a GB kernel and there is no need to flash a different GB kernel to flash a GB rom after using Gremlin Remover. Stephen knows what he is talking about pointing the OP to the One-Click which would allow him to flash GB bootloaders if he chose to change to GB.
Your original post and subsequent posts are nice in the idea of helping others but wrong in the fact the OP would have problems after following your inaccurate advice.
Learn more before helping others. How would you like somebody to give you crap instructions and cause you more problems, especially after a knowledgeable person - Stephen - already answered the guy.
Fare enough
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
I'll be nice to everyone this time...lol
Gremlink Remover INCLUDES the bootloaders. I also has a pre-rooted kernel. So all someone needs to do to come from foyo is flash gremlin remover 1 click. Then said someone can flash whatever custom ROM they want.
The only thing bot24 is wrong with is flashing another kernel...
My bad, I must have this thing about the Galaxy S kernel Flasher. Probably cause I love switching up the kernels. Probably because it's something I've never done with actual Linux.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Apologies to you bot. I have never read Thomas ever say his Gremlin Remover included bootloaders... nor does his OP.

Well my friend, we do have our own forum, and recently we got jellybean on our devices thanks to medorval. But here is what you should do, first, get the newest version of Odin on your computer. I use 1.85 i believe, then go download and flash entropy's kernel, which is overclocked for speed and, well, tech stuff. If you need more clear steps, contact me or go to our forum. Just type in galaxy player in the search your device and it should pop up for the 4.0 and 5.0. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you can't find them, I can help.
That is only the start of what you can do.
