I just finished putting on Clockwork recovery after the OTA and then flashed Imosyen's 4.0 kernel. During the process I heard the Voodoo stuff take place, but upong rebooting my phone I don't have root. I read in these boards on the EE4 OTA that this should have worked, any ideas and has anyone got thier phone rooted on the new OTA?
Thanks.

Try getting back into CW recovery and let me know how that goes. If so then just download superuser and you got it.
No root
I can boot into CWR after using ODIN to put it on once and under voodoo controls app it shows my phone as being voodoo on all partitions, just don't have root. I knew the OTA would kill root, was just hoping thier was a quick fix out there like just flashing a kernel. The phone is pretty snappy though with imoysens kernel running voodoo and using ADW as the launcher. Like what I see so far.

Someone didn't read the instructions for properly installing the leaked OTA?
BEFORE YOU ODIN BACK TO EE4, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SU FLASHABLE ZIP, THE OTA UPDATE AND IMOSEYON'S KERNEL ON YOUR SDCARD!
Make sure the update file is renamed to "update" and that it's on the root of your sdcard. (not in any folders or anything)
Odin back to EE4. Reboot normally.
Turn the phone off, then reboot into Stock Recovery and run the update.
Once the update finishes and the phone boots regularly. Reboot into Download Mode and plug the phone into the computer.
Start Odin, Uncheck "Auto Reboot", select PDA, NOT PHONE!
Click on the PDA tab and find your recovery file then click "start."
Once it is done and you see the word "PASS" on Odin, unplug the usb cable and press down all three buttons to boot into recovery (volume up, home, power)
Once in recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, mount /system and flash the SU flashable zip.
Go back and wipe cache and dalvik again, mount /system again and flash the kernel.
After that, your recovery will stick and you're good to go. You are now rooted and running on EP4D.
Here is the flashable Super User zip. http://www.multiupload.com/V6R1RZJPXV

You're very welcome for the instructions! Yes the Spc in my name is my rank and thank you for your support!
most if not all root issues can be fixed by simply flashing superuser in CWM (you can get the latest .zip from the dev ChainsDD's superuser site), then downloading/updating it in the market if it doesn't show up

If interested, the CWM version found here is already rooted.

Warning!!!! Do not flash these if
A. You dont know what you are doing
B. you have not already done a manual update to EE4
C. you do not understand what they are for
XDA, any developer, or myself are NOT responsible for anything you do to your phone.
All packages are compressed in .rar form they need to be extracted and flashed with odin. If you are a developer and just want the deodex system...well you know what to do. Also Notice Using a custome kernel on EE4 is required for root but this also write protects your sdcard for some reason so just be aware.
First package:Fully stock kernel, recovery and system(this will come in handy)
www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4stock_DXC.tar.rar
Second package: Deodexed system, imnuts modded CWM , stock kernel (not rooted)
www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4deodx_DXC.tar.rar
Warning having a Custom kernel Write protects your sdcard when trying to mount to your PC otherwise everything works
Third package: Deodexed system, imnuts modded CWM, jt voodoo kernel (Rooted)
www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4dxvodo_DXC.tar.rar
Again if you need instructions on how to flash these just hold off till we can mess with this build some more.
Awesome, but, definitely holding off on this.
So we're supposed to update to EE4 before installing any of these packages?
Sweeeet. Thanks driodxcon!

Kinda curious tho if we are already running your AB build with a custom kernel with Voodoo and lagfix how will we go about updating to EE4 so we don't mess up and loose root access in the process. Thanks in advance for any input.

Kind of a tedious process, but here is what I did:
1) I disabled the lagfix (create a folder called 'disable-lagfix' in /sdcard/Voodoo)
2) rebooted the phone to disable the voodoo lagfix
3) ran the stock rooted ED1 ODIN file (which I created )
4) took the OTA ED2 update and lost root
5) downloaded the EE4 update file (http://goo.gl/XTDA9) and renamed it 'update.zip' and put it on my sdcard
6) booted into recovery and applied update.zip and then let it boot
7) flashed JTs rooted voodoo kernel and his CWM in ODIN (you should probably delete the disable-lagfix folder after step 6)
NOTE: I didn't wipe at all during this process.
I have EE4 and JTs voodoo kernel and I've confirmed that I have root access.
Now it's time to get rid of this orange and brown crap... again :/

so after the whole 9 yard process of getting it back to stock and then updating all the way up to EE4, when you flashed JT's voodoo kernel, you still maintained all the capabilities of the EE4 update? currently, i believe it seems that flashing a ROM like altered beast (after you've updated to EE4 from stock), makes the functions of the EE4 update disappear?

You may want to reconsider as I don't believe you will get the radio/baseband update if you do not take the OTA update.

Can anyone please help me with a step by step tutorial on how to root gingerbread 2.3.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216978

I finally bit the bullet and did it last night. You can't do it like Super One Click, you basically have to install ClockWorkMod
Go here and skip down to the picture of the screen with 3 large buttons.
Follow the instructions to:
1) Install the Nvidia NvFlash APX Driver
2) Install Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
3) Download a ROM (I just chose the stock Gingerbread with root access -- That is the only way to get Root Access)
4) Put the downloaded ROM on the root directory of your SD card
5) Backup all your stuff (I used MyBackup Pro)
6) Follow the instructions to boot into recovery mode.
7) There are instructions for installing each mod but it involves clearing data/cache, installing the mod.
It isn't as hard as it sounds but it can be intimidating. This is just a summary from the top of my head. There may be a few more steps.
Good luck.
Here is the link for the stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 mod.

No. As long as you flash recovery properly then you can flash any rom compatible with the phone. As long as the rom is rooted you'll have root.

flash recovery as in having the menu where you hold lower volume button and the power button to make it say android and have it show up a menu for reboot,wipe data/cache, etc?

That's the one. It should say clockworkmod recovery at the top.

Before you flash a rom make sure to wipe data/factory reset. Its one of the options in the recovery menu.

ok. What if i mess up? Mess up as in like it crashes during and when i load it up will it be bricked?

Do you mean when you flash a new rom? If so then no, as long as you used the nvflash method to put clockworkmod recovery on your G2X then you can always boot back into recovery to fix your issues. Just make sure you ONLY flash roms made for the G2X. Don't flash anything made for the O2X.
G2X CM7
General rule for flashing roms:
- If you're switching from one rom to a different one, you should do a full wipe/factory reset before flashing. For instance, flashing from stock to CM7, or flashing from CM7 to MIUI, etc.
- If you're updating to a newer version of the same rom, then just wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash the update.

Superuser update.zip?
After installing CWM recovery why can't you just run Chaindd's SuperUser update.zip installer. Since CWM is on the phone, it should be able to install this update.zip file. If not, why not?

I don't have my G2X yet so I haven't tried it. The file can be found in Chaindd's SuperUser thread. He is the author of the SuperUser permissions program. It just installs superuser.apk and su with proper permissions to the phone. Works on most devices with CWM installed.

Hello -- I'm new to the Charge but have a little experience rooting/flashing ROMS with Motorola devices. At this point all I want is a rooted device and everything else stock (2.2.1 firmware / EE4). To achieve this I placed the Superuser app zipfile onto my sd card, flashed CWM with Odin, booted into recovery and applied the zip update. Everything went smoothly, my device is now rooted and works fine. However, when I boot back into recovery I find that CWM is still installed, I was under the impression that this procedure would overwrite CWM with stock recovery when I rebooted. I don't really mind having CWM, just wondering if the fact that it wasn't overwritten is indicative of some other problem that is likely to bite me in the a** down the road.
Also, if all I have done is rooted and kept the kernel untouched, will I be able to receive the gingerbread OTA when it is released (if ever)? Or will I have to flash back to a stock Froyo ROM?
Thank you thank you thank you in advance.

What zip did you apply IN CWM?
Sounds like you applied a kernel too. Having CWM is not normal if you just flashed the superuser zip.
You will likely need to flash back to stock prior to updating with the GB OTA whenever it comes out.

Thank you for the reply.
The only zip I applied was the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed file downloaded here.
For CWM I flashed 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5 found here.
Again I am now rooted but can still boot into CWM. After flashing the CWM file and disconnecting my phone, I initially fat-fingered it trying to boot into recovery and it rebooted. I then powered off and booted successfully into CWM to apply the zip file.
Any thoughts?
Ok, the main difference I see between my config and yours is that I may have used a different version of the superuser package.
The one at the link that you provided is superuser/su-3.0-d-signed.zip.
The one that I used is the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip from here
You did start out from stock correct?
What is the kernel version in Settings->About phone->Kernel version?
Actually when I downloaded the Superuser zip file from the site I referenced it was su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip. This was a few weeks ago -- before version 3.0 was added.
My phone was absolutely stock when I got it 2 weeks ago and I have done no other messing with it. The Kernel version as it reads right now is:
2.6.32.9

Looks like you did the same steps that I did other than your extra boot into CWM. Usually, the stock init will check for the proper recovery, file systems, etc and then "fix" that which isn't right.
I have never seen it not do that before (I have had to reflash CWM several times before due to botching the 3 button bit)

You cannot apply the OTA if you have CWM recovery. It will fail. Usually you need to have a fully bloated stock rom w/ stock recovery. Root is ok but you will lose it w/ the update

Hey so i own a rezound and have that rooted and my friend was wondering if i could help him root his charge - so i know what im doing mostly but the charge process is ... a bit more difficult/diffrent than the rezound
The rezound was easy:
Use the htc dev unlock for bootloader access
Use fastboot to install recovery
download rom and flash in recovery
then flash kernel in fastboot
back to the charge
He has all the updates including the newest radio (fp1) and it has always been stock
What do i need to do to get clockwork on it and have it stick?
How does Odin work?
What's the process on it to flash a recovery?
and the process for a rom?
Can you write out a quick what you need to do not step by step but possibly link to a detailed guide for each main step?
like say first you need to get odin then do this and that and link to places showing me how to do this and that!
!!!I wish i could give out more thanks!!!

Yes, in Odin ONLY use pda, if not you going to brick your phone.
yes, in cwm, if you talking about odin, you just uncheck or check reboot option.
Since the new software just released by Verizon which is FP1 for the charge, there are 2. They are Eclipse, which already release version 2.0 and we still waiting for Tweakstock. Don't bother to use anything else otherwise you will travel back in time. Do me a favor, next time when you ask a question, please make it clear so we can provide a more accurate answer.

Make superuser is installed in your applist. If it isn't you can download it from play store.
As per your second question. If your running factory fp1, you can download eclipse fp1 build 3.
- Reboot into CWM Recovery
- Mount data, system, and sdcard
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik cache under advanced menu
- You may have to remount
- Install Eclipse from Sdcard.
Done. You don't extract the zip files. CWM flashes the zip files as is. Only reason to extract is if you plan on editing the files which isn't your case. Hope this helps and let me know if this works for you.

You just need to install busybox. Use the busybox installer by jrummy from the market and that will fix your problems with the apps. As for installing a rom, just place the rom on the sdcard, wipe data, cache, and dalvik, mount system, and flash the rom zip.

If it works without the data wipe then go for it. I've always considered the 2 minutes it takes to restore apps worth knowing I got a clean install. But a data wipe is generally a good idea.

Hey thanks guys i was just wondering if you needed odin to flash a rom.
I figured it out, no you don't haha.
Now that i have a non stock rom and kernel Clockwork will stick right?
I flashed the ROM right after i flashed Odin no reboots,etc.
Yeah i just flashed a new ROM in; I didn't get busy box.
The new ROM should have busy box in it correct?
I wiped before flashing. (I've been trained) haha XD
Thanks so much i hope i made android a better experience for my friend and thank you guys for helping me do that!

Are you putting the battery back in after going into download mode? If not, you should. It helps the phone maintain stability during the flashing process.
What is the point of taking the battery out in the first place? I never take it out and have no problem getting into dl mode.

getting the phone into DL can be tricky sometimes - so a muhc easier method is to take the battery out, connect the phone to the computer, then press the volume down button - and you're instantly in download mode. however, the ODIN process will not take unless you put the battery back in.
just an alternative method, no biggie.
I can't seem to update my rooted Charge to FP5.
Here's the background:
I installed ROM Manager and flashed on CWM Recovery for the Charge. I'm guessing it wiped out the recovery partition (I could be wrong, but isn't that how it works?), so when I hit "update now" to update my phone to FP5, it tries to reboot to the package installer for the update, but it errors out with a triangle exclamation mark thing.
I tried booting into CWM to install the update.zip which I downloaded manually but that seems to error out with this message (don't remember what it was, I can maybe find it again), but it basically amounted to "I cant update with this update.zip file"
What can I do to fix this?

Your phone must be factory stock (no root) to do the update.
Unless I'm mistaken ROM manager will not work with the Droid charge... I could be wrong, but from what I've been told, to never install that mess on my phone. Sorry, but you might want to uninstall that apk if possible. I know it will Bork the charge.

ROM Manager is very, very bad for this phone. You'll need to revert to a stock ROM before you can get FP5. Use my instructions (check the development section) after you're on FP5.

Interesting...I didn't know it was that bad for it, considering how nicely CWM installed onto it...would updating allow me to get the stock recovery partition back on it?
(Just to clarify, I know updating while rooted removes the root, I was gonna re-root after updating to FP5)
I'll check out that guide though.
Accepting the OTA while rooted or on a custom anything will turn your phone into a temporary paperweight.

Also, am I boned if i CWM'd the phone? Pretty sure I overwrote the recovery partition.

If you can get into download mode you can flash cwm in odin
You need to go to the development forum and check out the thread: [ODIN][ROM][EP4D][FACTORY]. Go back to EP4D stock then take the two OTA updates.

It won't do anything but possibly put you in a recovery boot loop, but I doubt that. If it fails any of the assert checks, it ends the update. It checks literally every file on /system and also will check anything else that gets patched except for possibly the radios. Odds are better that by "installing CWM" via ROM Manager, something else was screwed up that caused the check to fail. It could also be that the zip that is attempting to be flashed is incomplete, or the wrong one for the version the OP is on.
