after a few hours finally began rooting my inspire. following attn1's guide and got to the s-off, superCID and more step. i let the cmd run its course and it stopped on:
"please wait - booting recovery to patch downgrade ROM.....
ECHO is off.
please wait"
and it hasnt moved for about 20 minutes now. my phone shows clockworkmod recovery v3.0.2.5 and a list of options under it. what is my next step?
Off the top of my head, are you sure you don't need to use the menus and select the downgrade zip to continue and it's just waiting on you instead?
I'm not too sure, the root process went flawlessly for me.
you need to install a custom rom
i got it figured out and i got a cm7 rom installed but there was no marketplace app. now everything i try to load through rom manager it says there was an error? i tried downgrading again and rom manager still gives me the error. any ideas?

What do you mean you tried downgrading again? You either have s-Off or you don't. Flash a stock,,rooted PD98IMG.zip, make sure stuff works, make sure clockwork recovery is flashed correctly, etc.
What ROM manager error?
Look, this isn't directed completely at you so don't get hurt, but...
people, noobs, whoever.... How can you expect help troubleshooting something when all anybody has to work with are error descriptions like...
"rom manager gave an error."
"I tried rooting and it failed."
"I rebooted and it did something weird and then froze."
See the absurdity of that?

sorry i wasnt clear enough. everything is working fine. the i flashed "cm7 nightly" with rom manager. now everything seems to be working but i couldnt find the market app anywhere. so then i repeated step 3 of the hack kit because i couldnt get rom manager to do anything.
when i boot up rom manager, it says "you must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use google search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
when i try to load any other rom through rom manager it says an error occured while attempting to run privelaged commands.
and i understand about noobs asking dumb questions, i see them in every section of the forum. its just hard not to when your phone quits working lol
i guess maybe i unrooted my phone by going back into the hack kit..im going to try flashing cm7 nightly again. any idea why the marketplace isnt there? thats the only problem i noticed.
i flashed cm7 nightly again the exact same way i did last time and the market is there now...no idea what happened.

Not to sounds snarky, but had you read the first post of the CM7 Nightly thread, you'd have seen that gapps has to be dl'ed and flashed through Clockwork Mod.
Here's the link for GAPPS. http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip

i got the market on there now but everytime i open it it says it will only be open one time unless i hit cancel. thanks for the info guys. im gonna do some googling and see if i cant figure out how to make market stay.
thanks again

Even though I read your more recent posts saying you got it at least functioning, and going off to do some searching about the market issue...
^^^^^ That's more like it.
That makes the problem much easier to figure out for people.
Glad you're on the road to getting things straightened out.
Hi,
I've tried everything but simply cannot seem to load Clockwork3 on my gtab, id like to load CM7 on it but simply cant get clockwork3 to load. Is there a way in NVFlash to just flash clockwork and nothing else?
The answer you seek lies within my website. Siggy.
yeah.. I tried downloading the appropriate file from your site but it says too much bandwidth used?
You mean the cwm files? I'll put mirrors up.

you said:
I think i need 1.1 Branch (3588) is that CWM 3?

Don't think. Just do. First, you need to know what branch of bootloader you're on. Follow the instruction in my website to figure this out.
No offense, but what you've said so far tells me you have read nothing on my website. All you did was go to it and tried to download the files.
Look, everything you've said so far tells me you're a new user. You don't know anything about what you're dealing with. On the clockworkmod page on my website, the first few lines explains clearly what you need and needn't. It will take you a mere 2 minutes to read it.

I'm glad you figured it out. If you know what the custom rom is, then you can go to my rom page, use the table there, and figure out what branch it's on.
thanks again for all your help man
I am way N00b at this but how do I remove this from my Atrix 2? It is eating up my battery and I can't open some of my apps, they force close. Is it possible to flash back to the point prior to this?
It was backed up before I started but know I cant find the back up. I just want to go back to the point when it was rooted. I used "MotoFail" to root and everything was going great and decided to try this, my bad, any ideas besides buying anoter phone?;-(

How did you back up?
If you used CWM (from the A2 Bootstrapper) just reboot into CWM, go to backup and restore, select restore, and select the backup that you made.
If you didn't use CWM or you can't find the backup then you will have to flash the fxz as said above. It will completely remove all of your apps and return you to stock 2.3.5. Make sure that you follow the directions about replacing files.
Thank you matt99017d I will check the link and cogeary I did the back up CWM I'll go that route first if that doesnt work, I'll go back to the beginning. Thank you again for the help
I could not find the backup in CWM so I flashed fxz following the instruction on the link you provided and the info. I'm back to 2.3.6 and it is rooted. Thats as far as I'm going for now, thanks for the help you all provided.
I see at /system/etc/init.d 2 files with sd-card optimization. 03sdtweak and 99override. Is there right or needed to delete one of them?
I highly suggest getting Titanium, for the cases where you don't have a back up, because I lost all my free apps and I don't even remember what all I had. I'm getting things back as I need them.

^ shows everything you've installed from the Android Market. You should have records somewhere if you got things from the Amazon Appstore.
I haven't tried it myself but if you've made a backup in CWM you have the option to only restore apps/data.
Well I decided to give SuperCharged V5 with update 1, and when I disconnected form the charger this morning it was stuck in the boot animation. It has been stuck in that position for the last 30 minutes.
I connected it to PC and it doesnt show as being connected. I've done a search and can't find anything on how to fix it.
I did a battery pull, took SD card out to see if I could maybe transfer something from it to desktop, but everything that was on it is gone.
Don't know what happened.
Can someone point me in the right direction?? In the mean time I'll keep looking.
Ozzie Im in a similar situation. I"m in a bootloop as well (Supercharged Logo just keeps rolling on the screen). I can't get into the Android OS, and I also can't even get into Fastboot to flash back to stock. At this time it appears its bricked. I have been trying to fix this the past 12 hours.
Are you in the same situation??!

I am sorry to say, but if you can't get into fastboot it's probably bricked
so i installed V5 and update 2 and i am getting the force closes and my phone won't show up when i plug the usb into my computer
and i can't delete or edit files in my files and i can't open any websites or connect to airdroid on wifi, or use data so i can't get any files onto my phone
help...
flashing the stock fxz worked
Man...and I was gonna do this...flash the supercharged ROM. Nevermind.
after i flashed the 2.3.5 fxz like the bootstrapping thread instructed, i installed the ota update and rooted my phone again and then i tried the custom rom again just for fun
but this time i did v5 and then update 1. then instead of doing update 2, i flashed the image of the rom that's linked right under update 2 in the supercharged thread
it works flawlessly for me now
so i would just recommend that
So, I'm trying to fix a phone for a friend of mine. I previously put CM10 on it (not sure which version at this point), and he recently started getting stuck in a bootloop. I tried wiping /data & /cache, didn't help. Tried re-installing the rom, didn't help. Tried installing the latest versions (both stable and nightly), didn't help. Tried installing arrgh's kernel, didn't help. Now I'm trying to get it back to stock, just to see if that'll work. I can get into fastboot just fine, and both cwm and skrilax's recovery work, but the only guide I found that has working DL links is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33391825&postcount=9, and while I can get TWRP installed and boot into it, I'm unable to select anything. I don't know if the program is acting up or if there's an issue with the touchscreen, but it's really frustrating. I've got the .win files ready to go, but not being able to navigate TWRP is holding me back. Is there any other way to install these files, or is there a way to get TWRP to work? I'm using the latest version (2.6.3.0). Would installing an earlier version work? Is there any known way to fix the bootloop issue? Is there a rom more stable than the official CM10? I realize that's a lot of questions, but as I'm at the end of my rope here, I figured I might as well get it all out there, and hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

CM10 was never really "stable" on the Q. 10.1 is pretty solid, and 10.2 runs fairly well as well.
If you want to go back to stock, why not just use RSD lite?

I think it was 10.2 that I put on originally.
I would love to use RSD, but like I said, all the guides I found had dead DL links.

Uhm, when you talk about working download links you link to some recovery hack.
I'm talking RSD Lite, and using fastboot to flash all of the stock stuff back.
Please read the link I sent - I can download those FXZ files no problem.

Huh. Must be late, totally didn't see that you had posted a link. I think I wound up on that page at one point, but the latest version of RSD Lite I could find from a site that didn't look sketchy was 5.7. When I search for 6.1.5, I get a lot of random download links (don't usually trust those, and a lot of non-English sites.
Yeah, may need to stop for the night and pick it back up tomorrow. Completely missed that there's a link to 6.0 on that thread. Will try that. Now, when you say to use RSD and then using fastboot to flash the stock stuff back, what do you mean? I thought RSD would take me back to stock.

I posted a direct link to 6.0 here, others posted their links in that thread as well.
Thanks for all your help. Will get RSD from that thread and try the files you linked. Hopefully that gets me further.
Yeah, RSD got me back to stock. The phone is borked anyway; the power button is iffy at best, and the touchscreen has stopped working, so he's gonna haveta try to get a replacement. Thanks for all the help.
Ok, I've done something stupid and I don't know what.
I've searched the forums for about 5 hours now, and can't find any help. If I've missed something, I apologize. I'm kind of frazzled.
I was trying to install an updated ROM from my internal SD via CWM recovery. There was an error, and now I'm stuck in recovery mode. I've tried clearing everything, but it won't boot to anything other than the CWM Recovery screen. I can't go into download mode to flash anything, or else I would just flashback to stock and start over. I even tried the whole taking your battery out and plugging the tab in to go to DL mode, but that does nothing.
We're dealing with a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113.
I'm about to cry.
Plz halp.
I might have it fixed now, but I don't want to get ahead of myself.
I finally managed to time my button mashing well enough that I'm in download mode. Will update soon.
If anyone cares.
I GOT IT
Ok, so I sill don't know what I did to end up in his mess, but through what I count as sheer luck I ended up in download mode, and was able to use ODIN to flash a stock rom.
I would delete this thread, but I want to leave it open in case anyone else runs into the same issues.

I did read that, but I was flashing a GB ROM, so I figured it didn't apply. I do appreciate the tip, though.
