Check the development section. There are plenty of threads on this. You will need to download a NANDROID of the 2.3.3 OTA, and restore to stock recovery using nVflash.

what is a nanadroid and where do I get it? I know how to use NvFlash...can you please provide some steps?

How did you even root? Lol
A NANDROID is a restore image, and nVflash is a program to flash recovery.

Ok...so can I get a Nandroid from NvFlash? I've used NvFlash..... BTW im using a rooted stock ROM from Xboarder...so how do I unroot it so I'll be able to send it back to T-Mobile and keep my warranty.

Follow this. let me know if you have issues.

Thanks SO much.....the video really helps. I haven't done it yet though because that has the 2.2 firmware. Is there a 2.3 stock nandroid recovery?

This is pretty close. Thanks to Jboxer...

You got it. Be sure to give Jboxer a thanks. The guy lives in Thailand is up to his ass in water from the floods. Not sure how he finds the time to do all the stuff he does.

Ok. I did it, and I don't see superuser anymore. Thanks. So this is all? I can receive OTA updates and send it in to T-Mobile?

Rooting OTA Gingerbread

Hey everyone im kinda new to the forums.. Anyways i just downloaded GB 2.3.3 the other day. Well after that i realized my phone wasnt rooted anymore. So i updated simpleoneclick and it wouldnt work. Anyone had any success rooting their g2x after the update?
Another person with a broken search button. Need to get that fixed.
At the present time, there is no root for the GB update. There is a way to root GB but it required going back to 2.2.2 and then loading a custom GB rom.
Ya mine has been broken for awhile.. Ive been trying to fix it but no luck.. Anyways any idea if theyre working on a root for it, and if so how long do you think itll take?

There is a rooted OTA ROM in the development thread. Flash that with recovery and you will have root back and 2.3.3.

no, you dont need to flash back to 2.2
My device came with 2.3.3 you dont need to downgrade. Just nvflash cwm recovery and flash over top of the default firmware.

Apparently, you can flash with CMW Recovery without being rooted, and also make nandroids and restore them. You will not be able to use apps that require root like titanium backup.

I am a noob (first post) but I learned a lot by monitoring the forums the past few days. If you flash a rooted rom, then you can use use apps that require root access. At least that is how my G2x seems to be working.

Yes - flashing it has rooted your phone. I am somewhat surprised by this however. I would have thought rooting was done at a deeper level then anything in a ROM, but apparently that is not the case.
Good news is whatever the case, it works.
Recovery has nothing to do with the rooted status of your phone. Nvflash and cwm work no matter what.

Having an unlocked/unencrypted bootloader gives us G2X owners a LOT of flexibility with what can be done with our phones in terms of customization. Its one of the main reasons I couldn't wait for this phone to be released. Check out the first post in this thread over in the Atrix forum for a rundown of the differences between locked/unlocked/encrypted bootloaders:

im sorry for the noob questions but could you elaborate on the steps you took to do this? Im having no luck figuring out so far.
Or if anyone else could explain the process.
I downloaded cwm but it says my phone needs to be rooted just to use it. So im stuck because im with 2.3.3 which isnt rooted. I just wanna go back to 2.2 so i can have root agian or so i can download custom 2.3.3 roms which are rooted already.
thanks
is flashing the rooted rom would root my phone perma or it would be unroot after flashing anything over that rooted rom?
you need one click reovery to flash the cwm with nvflash

want to go back to plain stock rom

how do I do that? since I just rooted and got s off today i dont like the rom i put on and would rather go back to the ota update which had my phone running smooth.
I'm assuming since you had the capacity to s-off your device, that you also read that you should make a nandroid backup. If u didn't then you are not out of luck but hopefully you learned your lesson. You have to flash a stock ruu for your phone. I'm %100 sure that a simple search would yield your intended results. But there ya go anyways.
Orrr just use the RUU.
Thanks I'll search for that now

If you followed the instructions, you ran backup in recovery. So restore from the backup in recovery.

Can someone please post a working link for InlineFlashing?

yes, this is made for windows computers and will work. uzip it and run the returntostoxk.bat file it will confirm your phone is connected (you have to be in fastboot mode) and after that just press enter and let it run and complete and youll be back to stock. you have to reroot your phone too, so id just update to the ota 2.6 and then root that, then intall your atrix bootstrap and then the bionic recovery from rom manager. then your ready to flash some roms again.

That was my only guess. I bought it mint from ebay. I'm hoping that is the issue with a bloatwsre getting removed.
Well...so good news and bad news.
This was phone I had purchased from Ebay. I works great. The problem I started with it receiving an update for 2.3.6, but it failed when attempting to update. From what I have read, this could be related bloated getting deleted.
I first attempted to find InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.zip, but wasn't able to find a working link.
I was pointed to using a .bat file by Rob in this thread. Thanks a bunch Rob. All went well; however, when attempting to perfrom the update to 2.3.6 it now gives me an out of system memory error. It doesn't even start to download the update...odd. It then ask me to factory reset. however, the factory reset then takes me back into a fastboot mode.
Any ideas of next steps? Do I need to attempt finding the original InlineFlashing file? If so, any idea where to find it?
Thanks everyone! I appreciate the help.

Hi Matt -
Would this work if I'm already on 2.3.5 and need to restore back to default or MUST I be on 2.3.6 first? I can't get to 2.3.6 right now due to a failed update.
for that, im not sure. im under the impression that it's fine.
at this point its better that what you got. {i think}
let me search around a little bit and see if i can get a better answer

[Q] need help going back to gingerbread from the oneclick ics

I just flashed the one click ics leak. it worked okay, but it wasnt stable enough for me. So i want to go back to Gingerbread and wait for the official release. Im new to this rooting stuff. This was actually my first time doing it. So if someone could give me step by step directions ide greatly appreciate it. Im not stupid but i am new. I tried one way on getting back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 it worked but it wouldnt let me update to 3.6 for one and two it tripped my flash counter !!!! so now im screwed on my warranty. Look, all i want is to go back to stock. please help me guys. Step by step and links please. thanks.
Did you Odin the original recovery? Or do you still have CWM? If you still have CWM you can use the file from this link to reset your flash counter. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575712

But does anyone have just a stock file? Like completely stock like nothing ever happened? When i get back to stock or if i get back to stock cant i just recover my back-up? lol plz and thank you guys

This is what happens when you don't read and just start flashing away with the first thing you can find. I wanna help, but I almost feel like I shouldn't. I mean, if you just read the stickies you would know how to fix this.
If u look through the threads I believe Konane has a thread for returning to stock..but there is a way..not sure of the exact step order but using Odin flash stock tar file then the reset flash count...then the stock recovery..I'll look to see if I can find a link.

Yes you can, sammobile is complete. Just extract from the zip and flash in odin
I had to install cwm to my device after flashing back to stock and flash the uckk1 radio and use the reset flash counter zip. Then I flashed stock cwm in Odin rebooted and was able to receive the update to 2.3.6. Which breaks wallpaper scrolling. My only grip about it.
Just flash the stock radio that will solve your problem of not receiving ota updates.

do i need to remove cwm bootstrap before doing the ics ota?

So we know that the ics ota is is coming soon. In on stock rooted 2.3.6. I know you don't have to uproot to do it, but I did (for some reason) install bootstrap and bootstrapped my recovery. Is there anything I need to do with that before the ota or is that good to leave as well since it's not actually flashed? If so could you tell me or link me to a guide? (Sorry if this has been asked couldn't find anything on it)

Your best bet is to fxz to a full 100% stock load before any OTA. We already have root so losing root is only for during the update, I know it does not check for root, but it is safer to just be 100% stock off of the fxz.
If you are on the ICS leak, I have several people testing the fix I have made and I am hopeful to have it released to everyone in the next couple of days.

I'm not worried about root, but man last time I attempted an fxz I got extremely confused and ended up just exchanging my phone... Well shoot. I believe most phones can do OTA's with root, just not sure about that whole bootstrap and I still have all the stock (non-uninstallable) at&crap apps.

You HAVE to remove bootstrap, the log wrapper link in /system/bin and also remove the hijack file in /system/bin and move logwrapper.bin to logwrapper also in /system/bin. All of this can be done from root explorer. Then reboot. If not done correctly you will bootloop. The fxz is way easier and I have a scripted version that does not require rsdlite.

You have no ignorance, no worries... questions are what this place is for and so you can learn.
Yes I have script for both 2.3.6 and another for ICS.
Not sure if you will have the cg error or not. Usually you get that from flashing the incorrect fxz. If you tell me which version of the phone you have and your correct location, I might be able to put a "special" one together for.
Or if you bought an att phone but live in India then you might have to flash the att fxz and then give cogeary's international rom a try.
