Hi guys i was changing my phone from the octane 2x to a stock 2.3.3 , everything went good on the change except that now my phone doesnt let me rooted via superclick or go to download mode and i cant do nothing now with it, just use it, with the stock 2.3.3 that i flash via Odin. Is there a possible way to root it again and install other roms??? any help would be very appreciated!! and another thing that i see is every time i plug the phone to the computer the Usb connected appears but the usb debbugin doesnt =S strange!!!!!!
I'm commuting home and can't give active help (I'll loose coverage here and there) and don't know what stock 2.3.3 ROM you are on. But,
All you need to do to root is Odin one of Drhonks Kernels. KI3 is what Devs are using in their Gingerbread ROMS. His Kernels are in the Development Section.

Yeah, the KF series were funny about stuff. Try shutting down the phone, take out the battery, plug in the USB cable, hold down VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time while you put the battery back in.
If that doesn't work, download the Android SDK from www.android.com & install it. Then open a command prompt, cd to the 'platform-tools' directory where the SDK installed, and issue the command: adb reboot download

Once it's installed, open a command prompt (Start --> Run --> cmd & press Enter)
Typically it installs in Program Files on 32-bit OS's and in Program Files (x86) on 64-bit OS's, so the the 'cd' command you use depends on your OS:
32-bit: type this, followed by Enter: cd \Program Files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
64-bit: type this, followed by Enter: cd \Program Files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
type this, followed by Enter: adb reboot download

Awesome, glad you got it. All you should have to do is put one of drhonk's kernels on it. Make sure it's the same version. If you're going stock GB I'd suggest installing KJ6 then drhonk's KJ1 kernel.

I vote for getting of the KF series because, as stephen_w said, it was strange about things and getting into download mode was one of them. Annoyed the hell out me.

What Exodian said. At worst case, you may eant to grab stock KG4 so that you have the pit, pda, csc, & phone file. More than likely you may have used a bad download.

Question to those who have updating their Dream from Rogers, was it at all slow or where their noticeable improvements?
I have one at my disposal but running stock OS (1.5/1.6 i assume). Anyone have a nice and easy to follow tutorial to update this phone without hassles? Also does updating android OS require rooting the device?
Thanks in advance.

try this:

Follow instructions. This seems to me to be the easiest guide. Be careful of the Rogers/T-Mobile thing. Seems there are different radio's and such. I don't know anything about Rogers. As far as Roms, I use HTCclay's Superfly TCBY. Lot of memory left on phone. Just try a few to see which you like. Good Luck.
By the way, you do have to be rooted. The guide will walk you through it.

I would say to try the ROM in my sig (the stock ROM)
works for g1 and 32B Magic
he is going to need the EBI1 kernel to go with the rom.
Ok I am reviving this thread because I want to make sure I am following the right steps in doing so. Don't want to mess this up.
Successfully rooted the phone following video I found in the second post of this thread. Can't link you to it because I am still a new member =S! I checked the radio version of the phone and it is 3.22.20.17. Which ROM is recommended?As I said, I just want to get rid of this terrible stock rom from rogers and put froyo (which in turn also allows me to get touch screen keyboard activated) on here.
Thanks in advance.
With that radio you will need to flash ebi1 kernels after you flash the roms.
I completely forgot that Rogers blocked the virtual keyboard with their firmware. That's such bull****.

Now you have more information in the link in your sig. Question: Can you re up the RS link you have there? Also, rooting the phone just means that you have the app called Superuser?
Now I get quite lost the moment you start explaining the options HTC Dream users have. Is there a recommended ROM to download for this phone considering its specs?

Yes it is sad that rogers has done this. Do whatever they can to screw the consumers over. Just found out it is 1.5.
Any help on this?
Ok still lost on trying to do this and want to follow the set up from cyanogen but its really complicated. I don't want to make a backup of contacts and stuff because it wasn't originally my phone.
Do I still need the amon_ra's recovery?

Think of what you need to do:
1) Obtain root access so that you can flash a new recovery
2) Replace recovery so that you can flash new SPL
3) Flash new SPL so that you can be more compatible with roms / kernels
4) Flash a new rom (IE/ Cyanogenmod 6), and a compatible EBI1 kernel (for instance, Brian Crook's ones on the Cyanogenmod website)
Without getting into huge detail, you do it in this order to prevent your device from being unable to boot / recover.
You can flash the new RADIO and SPL from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=831139
Along with that, you use the appropriate supported +14MB EBI0 kernel.
More RAM is good
Well that makes sense.
Now I am following the Cyanogen wiki link (can't post there) and it says to launch flash rec but I can't understand from where I have to do this. Anyone care to help? And how does the Andriod SDK help?

Andriod sdk has the adb component needed to initiate commands to your device from your computer. then you need the android windows usb drivers.after installing sdk to see if you have connection with your device, open console on your computer start>run>type cmd and hit enter at the prompt type adb you should get several lines back kind of an options menu. at next prompt type adb devices. if your device is recognized you will get back:
device XXXXXXXX (this will be an actual number).
if you dont get any devices back with your phone attached to usb then you probably need the driver. just google it.
as for flashrec I dont believe I used this. I used exploid to gain root and install 1.33.2005 spl
Where do I get the android driver for windows (7 64bit specifically)? Adb command aint working in my cmd.
So what do I do about flashrec? Man updating this thing is driving me nuts. So many unexpected curves.
I also have Windows 7 64bit and I didn't need a driver it just works for me. Please tell us exactly what you are typing in and what output you are getting. You could also try the instruction to install the usb driver here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
What is your build number in settings? If it is 1.89.631.1 you are following the wrong guide. (see the top of that guide)

When I type in ADB command it just states that the command is not recognized (even when SDK is open).
Build number 1.85.631.5.
Now when I turn on phone it accepts it after I plug it into computer. I can mount sd card to copy files without issue.
Do I need another tutorial (preferably video since its easier for me but text is just fine)?

Does the zip file for the android SDK make a difference if I can't install it through the .exe? It keeps saying that it doesnt detect the Java SDK when I try to install.
Yes, you can use the .zip. Extract it, run setup.exe, install Platform-tools, cd to the platform-tools directory then you can use adb. Fastboot is in the tools directory. That was just changed in the 2.3 sdk update so I don't know if the guide has been updated yet.

The only .exe file in the zip is the SDK Manager which isnt exactly an install.

The one-click is super simple. It only requires that you have Java installed. There are three different ones here:[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]. Whatever you're getting from samfirmware.com is old, as I recall. I don't think they had anything past KI1 or KI3...something like that. The one-clicks are all based on KJ6.

It's OS-agnostic because it uses Java. You can execute that command on Windows, Linux, or MAC OS. I also want to say that you can double-click it from Windows and/or MAC and it will execute. I have not tried that method.
If you want to see if Java is installed (I don't know MACs) open a terminal and issue the command: java -version
It should return the version of Java you have installed, if it's there.
The one-click kernels are not available on the market; you'll have to grab 'em from here

hmm ok.. i think i'm going a bit over my head on this...
Basically all I want to do is to install a custom ROM on my phone. I dont really know all the terms bootloaders and kernals and the like (the one click on the VIbrant was super easy.. just plug and play..)..
But I don t want to download the wrong thing and brick my phone either..
So a couple of questions:
1. So on the link, which one am i supposed to download?
2. As per instructions on the link, do I type the commands in the terminal window? And if so does it download automatically into my phone?
thanks man

Hey I think this was one of the problems I was having with Heimdall.. some files are missing or I can't find them:
On 4B (on your instructions page) it says "Open the unziped heimdall folder then open the the "drivers" folder and run (double click) the "zadig" application"
But there is no "drivers" folder (I downloaded Heimdall Suite 1.3.1 (Binaries) from the glassenchida site)

My guide is for windows installation. if you did it right you got the Mac version. It sounds like you already un zipped it so Try putting your device in download mode and opening the one click you downloaded or heimdall front end. It should auto install drivers or prompt you with on screen instructions to do so (if not drivers whatever Mac calls them).

I followed the OP, under the "Load Package" tab I click browse like the instructions say, and then select the [ROM] [2.3.6] Heimdall One-click Back-To-Stock UCLB3 and thats when I get the error
this is how i read it, did i give you the wrong link?
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: Green"]CONNECTED[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.

5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.

Is there a step between 1 and 2 though? As far as loading the .jar file before you flash?

Ok, lets readdress all this...you can get download mode...right? see picture of download mod...
The USB + Volume Down + Volume Up Method: Download mode (Noticeable by an Android robot digging with a shovel) is reached by taking everything out (Battery, SIM, MicroSD). plug in the USB cable to your computer and phone then putting in battery at the same time Holding the volume buttons both up and down, (Don't press the power button at all in this method).
How to INSTALL:
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
download this file for your one click to stock...and using above directions...
once that is done and you want to put CWM mod on for flashing a custom ROM, same directions to get in to download mod...

laz, you tried to load the 1 click into heimdall frontend.
You should have just click...run the jar file. Wait a few minutes and it should be ready. The jar is self executable
@qkster bro i really didnt get what u said...'click on oneclick file,wait for a while...jar file is self executable'
do you want me to extract the oneclick file? if yes,what i am supposed to do with its extracted files?
if not then what?
i am getting following list for extraction...

I believe this is supposed to be executed as administrator per qkster's instructions.
The normal way to do that is to right-click and select run-as-administrator
And if that doesn't work, there is a more detailed method to run java jar files as administrator (using elevated command prompt) discussed here:

Once again this sounds like someone in the frontend of Heimdall.
Just save the .jar file to the desktop.
Make sure your phone is in download mode.
Double click the .jar file from the desktop (not from Heimdall suite), wait for the file to load.
Another screen will open with a long flashbar on the bottom, click it.
Phone will now be flashing and will disconnect when done.

Always wish these were made for each phone, the devs put so much work into making roms and root methods, but usually skimp on the instructions for those of us who aren't as experienced. Thanks for this

Great video, but in your description, to install the SDK using the Java links, I installed the JDK but the SDK install still thinks it's missing, and won't go any further, making me Cancel out. No idea what to do now...no SDK = no ADB commands :-(

Alos agree great video and helped me do root in no time at all! However, like you I am unable to get the adb part of the video working. I followed your other video and written instructions to the "t", and I only got as far as..
"adb is not recognized as an internal or external command"
I got the Java JDK to install fine as well as the SDK with all the required installs you said were needed for it to work. I left out all others as I'm not really too familiar with adb is it is. I changed the path, and named folders and files exactly as you did in your video. However I could never get the cmd to show adb devices.
I know the original post stated that we should know how to use it before we try this, but after trying to do research on this for the past 4 hours last night.. I concluded I have no idea what I am doing wrong/nor how to do it properly apparently.
If anyone would be able to possibly give me some assistance that would be great .

That would be my guess. Put it in USB Debug mode, and plug the phone in, I think it auto-installs the ADB drivers.

Yes, usb debugging was on when I tried to do this. I usually always just leave it on honestly.
I guess I should have been more clear about where I was at, but yes i did the
cd platform-tools .. enter.. then adb.exe.. and thats when I got the 'adb' is not an internal or external command. I dont know where I messed up along the way... . I feel pretty confident I did everything correctly.
However there was one difference i did notice. On the path stated in the guide it says system32 something then you list the path to platform tools and whatnot.... but mine had something /windowspowershell/ or something like that.
I went back to the start and deleted my drivers and reinstalled them but deleted the jdk and sdk for the time being.. Maybe ill try again soon if I can figure it out better.
I believe this will help a lot of you. Thanks goes to Adrynalyne....

It sounds like you're not moving to the right directory. Check to see where your adb file is, on the new SDK it's in platform-tools but if you downloaded ADB from a long time ago, it's in another folder (I think tools, but it's been a while).
What I would do is navigate to your adb file from "my computer". At the top, under address, it will show you the path you need to type. For instance, for me, I open my computer, C: drive, Android folder, then platform-tools. So my path would be:
Code:
cd C:\Android\platform-tools
Everyone's path is different depending on where you put your files.
Hi people. Ive just bricked my Relay by installing Chainfire3D(dont laugh at me I know im stupid)))). So can anyone do a backup the system by Recovery mode and send me to my email [email protected] or attach it here, I will put it in my SD and do a restore from recovery mode(i didnt brick it fully, I guess its called softbrick).
I would really appreciate anybodies help. Please people I really need help...Thanks in advance)))
Just flash a new ROM in recovery, or if you plan to just do a restore of a system partition you would need to give out more information as to flash the correct one as each ROM will have a different system partition

To install I need to know a couple of things, are you using a computer with Windows? Also do you have a custom recovery on your phone? Hold onto the Volume up key+Home+Power, when it vibrates and shows "Recovery Mode" in little blue letters on the screen let go of the buttons and it will boot into recovery mode. If it looks like the picture here [cdn.droidviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/android-recovery-on-galaxy-s3.jpg], this is stock recovery. If it has "ClockworkMod Recovery" you are off to a good start. Let me what you have.

So to get back to stock, on your recovery there should be an option to sideload a file using ADB. Your going to have to use these instructions to get ADB onto your Windows install.
1. Make sure Java is installed on your system go to.....www.java.com/ and install their version, and restart computer if necessary.
2. Then go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html to download the SDK for android allowing use of ADB. You will need to extract this folder to your C: drive. 1-Create a folder on the root of your C: called Android, then unpack the SDK you downloaded into this folder, and open up sdkmanager.exe and install updates and packages. The main one you want is called "platform-tools" which holds the ADB.exe file you will need.
2.A) Make sure you clear/format your cache/dalvik cache/ and data before you flash the zip in the instructions below.
3. Now connect your phone to your computer via usb, and boot into recovery, you will need to choose install zip/sideload with adb (these are generic instructions since I have a different recovery than you.
4. Now it will be waiting for the program you just installed to "push" the zip to your phone. So go to the Start menu, and type in the search box cmd and hit enter.
5. Now type in "CD C:\Android\(**whatever SDK file you have**)\platform-tools\" and hit enter. When typing you can hit the TAB key to autocomplete the folder name. Now your directory should of changed, and you should be able to type "adb sideload (you will need to type in the full path of the file where you stored the Stock JB image at (the one I emailed you). and hit enter. Once it sideloads you should be able to reboot and it will bootup regularly, after this I would suggest flashing philz touch recovery which has a few more features.

Since you have ClockworkMod you won't be needing the "stock-recovery.zip" I sent you. You will only need the "JB-stock-system.zip". Now when the drivers install make a checklist and make sure you have Java installed...and then the Android SDK. It really is a 3 step process, but since you soft-bricked your phone you can't simply copy the stock-system.zip to your sdcard and flash that in recovery. You will need adb to communicate with your phone while in recovery.

Oh crap I didnt see you had a link there, let me check that one out
This isn't probably the best thread to suggest this, but I recommend you look into a linux distro to install on your laptop. Before I had my current one, I was on a 7 year old HP compaq, and I put Lubuntu on it, and made it pretty much brand new. The only thing is getting used to the Linux filesystem,and commandline. Might take a few weeks of using it, but it really helped me out when XP was terribly slow. It also installs ADB and can interface with android phone. Maybe try a liveUSB so you don't have to install it.

With the stock I gave you, you will not be rooted, it will appear as if you just turned it on for the first time, if you want to be root and use Cyanogenmod, I suggest instead of sideloading the image I gave you, go here and download this and sideload this rom (this is stable 10.2)
