This is confirmed working as of March 29/20012. I just finished rooting/flashing my phone for the first time. To ease the burden for all of you noobs here is how to install Eaglesblood ICS on a Tmobile G2x that has never ben rooted/flashed/ROMed.
Assuming your Tmobile G2x has never been rooted/flashed/ROMed
Take out the SD card just in case before starting
Step 1: Install the Drivers (http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-root-the-t-mobile-g2x/)
Do not plug in your phone yet!
a) Download the drivers required for the G2X (hosted by JuneFabrics.com)
http://www.junefabrics.com/bin2/LGDriver.exe
b) Run as admin(if win7/vista) and install what you just downloaded from the link above.
Step 2: Root the phone (http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/11/how-to-root-your-android-phone-superoneclick-method/)
Do not plug in your phone yet!
a) Download this: http://yunfile.com/file/wodeaigsq/605d381a/
b)Extract it
c)Run SuperOneClick as admin(if win7/vista)
d)On your phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development > Make sure USB Debugging is checked ON.
e)Plug in your phone to the computer via usb
f) Click the Root button and wait for it to finish.
Once done it will ask if you want to run a test, you do not have to.(i did, if testing wait for it to finish)
g) once done under your apps list in your phone there should be a new app called Superuser ppermissions
h) yay your phone is now rooted. (you can leave you phone plugged in so it charges)
Step 3: Flash a Custom recovery (http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-flash-a-custom-recovery-image-on-the-t-mobile-g2x/)
a)dowload this: http://depositfiles.com/files/888hptv4c (you will need winRAR)
b)Extract it, you will get to folder, NVFlash and APX
c) Turn off your phone now (unplug it from the computer if it is plugged in via USB)
d)Take out the battery
e)Now while holding both volume buttons(volume up and down) plug it back in to the computer via USB
and wait until your computer tries installing a new APX device. The driver instalation will fail(little red x) that is good.
You can now stop holding the buttons, leave the phone plugged in.
f) now open Device manager
g) In Device Manager right click APX under Other devices and update driver software.
h)Select Browse my computer for driver software and browse fr the APX folder we earlier extracted.(make sure Include subfolders is checked)
Hit next, if a red box pops up click install anyway. Wait for it to install.
i)Now unplug you phone again and plug it back in.
j)Open the folder NVFlash we extracted earlier and Run OneClickRecoverFlasher as admin(ifwin7/vista) (you phone is still plugged in)
k)Now unplug your Tmobile G2x again.
l)(Again)Now while holding both volume buttons(volume up and down) plug it back in to the computer via USB.
Keep holding both volume buttons.
While holding both the buttons click the center box of OneClickRecoverFlasher (the one that says Flash CWM 5.0.2.0 internal and external SD ROM (External nanodroid Only))
Once it says S/W upgrade on your phone you can let go of the buttons.
Hit any key to continue on the green box full of text. It will dissapear after a shot while.
Wait another 60seconds before you unplug the G2x from the computer and put the battery back in.(unplug the phone while the screen says S/w upgrade)
m)Put the batter back in the phone. Unplug it from the computer and hold the volume down and power button at the same time until the LG logo changes to an LG Logo with a blue lighting in the backgroud.
(When you see the new LG logo you can let go)
We are now in recovery mode.(with a couple blue or orange text option on top)
Step 4: Back up your original ROM
We will format an SD card so everything will be lost on it, ack up first.
a)Put a micro SD card in your phone for backup, I suggest a formated clean one. 2gb should be enought.
b)In recovery mode using the volume up and down buttons scroll to mounts and storage and press the power button to select mounts and storage.
c)then scroll down and select mount /sdcard
d)now go back and select backup and restore, then select back up and wait for it to finish. Once done go back poweroff and copy the backup that is on the SD card to some safe place.
Step 5: Loading the EaglesBlood ROM (http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-t-mobile-g2x/)
a)Download this: http://developer.clockworkmod.com/downloads/718/2402/update-9.0.0-build_3-G2x-signed-.zip
and download this: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip
b)Format your SD card again just like we did earlier using your pohne
c)turn your phone on. Then plug it into your computer via usb. Next you may need to go to your notifications and select the urn USB storage ON.
Select it and turn USB storage on. once on your computer should detect 2 drives. Go to my computer and find the one that maches the SD card.
(the smaller one, phone inernal should be about 5.21gb the other dive if using a 2GB sd card shold be around 1.8GB)
Open the SD card and copy what you just downloaded(both the google apps and Eagles blood ICS) onto the SD card, do not place it into any folder just put it straight on to the root of the SD card.
d)Now turn your phone off while still plugged in to the computer. After it completly shuts off wait a few seconds and unplug it.
e)Boot back in to recovery mode (press power and volume down at the same time)
f)Now go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506574
Scroll down to
EAGLESBLOOD™ ROM INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
and follw the instructions from step 3.
once done turn your phone on fill in the information your phone asks you to and you are done!
I sugest you wait 10 min before using ICS to optimize performance.
Thanks, but you do know we already have a guide to rooting and installing roms?

Yes, you can remove it entirely. Use Titanium Backup, but make a back up of the app in case you need it in the future before uninstalling.

Hi there,
Thanks a lot. The zip file that I had downloaded from a link was around 7.76KB. I went to CM wiki to download the .zip file(around 56MB). Now it's working just well. Eaglesblood ICS is awesome. Thanks !

Let's begin
1st download all the necessary files:
Motorola 5.4.0 Driver with MotoHelper http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=bda09ec8009a0210VgnVCM1000008806b00aRCRD
stock UK XT720 sbf and RSD Lite 4.9 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953863
SuperOneClickv2.1.1 ftom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887416
OI File Manager or from Android Market
Open Recovery for XT720 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242259
CM6 RC3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197655
Then proceed to install the windows drivers for XT720,
once that is done flash your XT720 back to factory stock,
to go into ROM flashing mode Hold Power + Volume Down + Camera buttons all at once, be patient, it will take a while and a couple of reboot.
When the phone is finally done booting up, go into Settings > Applications, and check the boxes for USB debugging + Stay awake,
now you can run SuperOneClickv2.1.1 to root your XT720, for step by step rooting instructions follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887416
Next you will want to install a File Manager to your XT720, the stock XT720 doesn't include any file manager,
open a command line (in windows run CMD),
switch to the directory ..\SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse\ADB\
run the command line adb.exe install FileManager-1.1.6.apk
The next step is best done using a microSD card reader, then you can drag & drop all the files for your XT720 directly to the SD card from Windows Explorer
- OpenRecovery.apk,
- the unzipped files from OpenRecovery-XT720-01 folder,
- update-cm-6.3.0-RC3-MilestoneXT720-signed.zip,
- gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip
Using the OI File Manager install OpenRecovery.apk (it should be at the root of your SDcard),
run Open Recovery from XT720 stock launcher's app drawer,
select Install Recovery System (allow super user),
then follow the instructions to install OpenRecovery-XT720-01 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242259
Once you are done proceed to install update-cm-6.3.0-RC3-MilestoneXT720-signed.zip, and gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip using OpenRecovery-XT720 (for details follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197655),
select clear cache, dalvik, and factory reset
choose the reboot option from OpenRecovery-XT720 menu,
the first boot of CM6 will take a very long time,
when you see the launcher, let it finish loading, then reboot the phone again via power button > reboot,
after this last reboot, the phone is finally ready for normal usage.
Enjoy!
You can get the Dexter's OpenRecovery.apk here
you can use universal androot to root your phone alternatively. its super easy. just drag it onto your sd card (or download directly from your phone), install the apk, and click root. heres a link. http://www.4shared.com/file/HvHnis8C/Universal_Androot_v161.html
I actually did this to a friends xt720 yesterday and I needed to fix the APN settings, he wasn't getting data.
WARNING, about BusyBox newer than v1.17.1 and Link2SD
So i found out the hard way there's an odd bug with BusyBox 1.18.x or newer it conflicts with Link2SD, it wont mount and causes Link2SD to throw this message
Code:
Mount script error
Mount script cannot be created
mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2

reverting BusyBox back to 1.17.1 fixed the problem
Help on Boot Loop
Followed all instructions here to update to the the cm 6.3.0 RC3. Everything appeared to go as stated, but after reboot i seem to be stuck in a vicious boot loop. I get the cyanogen mod droid logo but it seems to pop up every 10 seconds or so without the phone ever starting up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's cute as a paperweight, but not much good as a phone.
Disregard....after rebooting for nearly nine hours....the phone finally started up and appears to be working....Thanxxxx
I too now am unable to access data....i am not skilled enough to work with the APN settings. Could you please help me out on what i need to do to get my data working again...no internet access sux....

Awesome Instructions bud, much needed for the first timers. Just thought I would add that stock 2.1 always came with quickoffice for me and that's what I normally use at first to install Open Recovery but always end up needing a better File Manager anyway. So either way, I hate to be a stickler just might be one less step lol. Good job AllGamer dude!
Ps.. I should have just said good job dude your way is better lol.

Install APN manager from the market and find your carrier there.
You could always just input them manually, doesn't require any skill bud, you just have to google the correct APN configuration details.
nice App

this is an Excellent recommendation.
I didn't even know such APP existed
it's so easy to enter APN data... pick and choose, done!
Don't think you should be flashing ROMS if you're hesistant about manually entering an APN, my 2 cents lol.
I would still rather recommend singapore rom, with the tv out and everything. Don't know of any cons with this atm.
Hi,
i installed cm6 rc 3 as described above. And it runs very smooth and stable.
Although i have one big problem: If i insert my sd-card (3gb fat + 1 gb ext4, with app folder on ext partition) in my phone, app2sd works as it should and the phone boots as usual. But when the phone shuts off the display and goes into sleep mode, i am no more able to wake it up again. When I push the power button only the leds switch on. I have to pull the battery and restart the phone.
If sdcard is not inserted, everthing works great. with no problems since three days now.
But i would like to have my sdcard back...
Perhaps some can help me.

I'm not certain but I think this means that Android thinks your battery has more charge than the hardware does. I would first try to redo battery calibration (there are threads in the XT720 general section about how to do this) if you can convince yourself that your battery is actually full. It can be a little tricky.

if you are already on stock, then yes you can flash CM6
but make sure you are rooted first
and use the Open Recovery XT720 listed in the OP topic

^THIS.
If you read instead of complaining and giving up, it's simple. Everyone here has been in your shoes at some point, but they searched, read, and figured it out. There's nothing hard to do here. Just read and follow simple instructions.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
1) You must be rooted.
2) If you have a /Voodoo folder on your internal SD card, delete it and reboot.
3) If you're already running a custom ROM with Voodoo lagfix FULLY enabled, you can skip to step 7.
4) Download*CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip
*if you're on Froyo and place it on your internal SD card.
5) Install SGS Kernel Flasher from the Market.
6) Open SGS Kernel Flasher, select choose kernel, select the file you downloaded, and select flash kernel. Your phone will reboot and begin to enable Voodoo lagfix. Let it do that and boot all the way up. It will take a while (5-10 minutes) because it's converting all partitions to ext4.
7) Download the rom of your choice and place it on your internal SD card.
8) Power off your phone.
9) With the phone powered off, hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release. This should boot you into*RED*CWM.
10) Select "install zip from sdcard" and select the ROM zip.
11) Once that finishes, select "wipe data/factory reset".
12) Select "reboot system now".
13) Do NOT restore system data with Titanium Backup. Do NOT restore ALL apps with data. If you absolutely must restore something with Titanium Backup, only restore MISSING apps with data.
I don't know if English is your second language but i do not understand why you don't want to read.
You are going to brick your phone if you don't read.
Up above are the directions I followed to get modified recovery. From there you need to go to cwm (red) and you can flash whatever roms you want.
I stole these directions from GTGs infused rom. So thanks gtg.
I'm not a fan of CWM either. Prefer to flash roms with Odin.
Just in case you give up, heres how to get into download mode (being that this is your thread and you don't need a lecture):
1. Power off
2. Pull out battery
3. Plug in USB cable
4. Press and HOLD both volume buttons together and replace battery
5. Keep holding both volume buttons together till yellow download screen appears (newer roms may have an "Are you sure?" screen. Press volume up and you're good to go.
I'm glad y'all explained this...thanks...I can't count how many times I've explained it in the last 3 days..please with all due respect...read...I learned how to port and now building my own rom from READING...ALOT...and studying...and some advice along the way...but they were thru pms ...I did not make a whole thread on it...thanks yall

Currently running 2.3.3
I've tried rooting this damn phone twice, followed the steps yet every time my phone just resets completely.
I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong ... Is there a guide that's VERY specific in the steps to root? I tried youtube, couldn't find anything, and the method of going into boot was different so I'm lost...
Here's the questions I have on the steps...
1. Install latest Clockworkmod Recovery using NVFlash, if you haven’t already done so. - What do I do with this file ?
2. Download the root zip package referenced above.
3. Put the zip package on your internal or external sd card on your G2X. Do not unzip the package.
4. Turn off phone and boot into Clockworkmod Recovery by pressing volume down and power and hold until the fancy LG (second one) appears. - Isn't this the phone reset method? The youtube video I watched said to press "volume up + volume down"
5. Select install zip from sd card. Select and flash the root zip package. Note: You navigate in Clockwordmod Recovery by using the volume keys up and down and commit the action by pressing the power button. - Install the zip or clockword mod?
6. Reboot your phone. You are now rooted.
- I just need something really in depth, step by step by step ... If anyone is willing it'd be nice >.<
-Thanks

the rom selection is your choice I dont know what you want to do, obviously since you just stated you want root (SU permissions)

Well that video is what completely confused me ... the process seemed different in its steps to root. I followed the steps in that video, and the steps in the original post but still couldn't get into the root..
Now I will say I have no idea on which ROM to pick. In fact, that's probably what messed me up in the first place.. Do you have any suggestions? The Hellfire ROM seems to be popular amongst users on the forum. Basically, I just want a stable ROM that's going to allow me to remove stock applications, free up bloatware, and make my phone just run overall smoother.. and of course ability to over clock, under clock. Extra goodies are a plus ..

-Rooting takes 15 minutes if you follow directions, after you get all the downloads.
-Get the apx drivers first install them regardless of everything it helps connect the phone and makes sure the process goes smoothly, if you do not know how to install drivers for a phone... Google it.
http://www.mediafire.com/?kgfk5234e4hhggc
I will suggest this since it easiest now a days. Read the directions over and over. then proceed to attempt.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566681
after power up with the recovery select wipe/ format data (this will wipe the phone so your apps and settings are kaput so, make sure you have your google contacts and what not backed up with regular sync through settings. Your texts will be gone also, there are apps to back those up, search them if you want. After booting up and wiping select to install rom from which ever area you put the zip files at (DO NOT PUT THEM IN A FOLDER JUST LAY THEM ON THE THE SD-CARD WITH DRAG AND DROP.) First rom then kernel, if you choose to use it. then power on.
The rom I suggest for you, it is easy one step to install, then boot... LET SET FOR 10 MINUTES AFTER YOU BOOT UP! This allows the phone to adjust itself and all it's new entities and what not.

Make sure the rom and kernel are on the external sd-card if that is what you are using or vice versa.
I think that covers everything I don't know if it does or not right now as I just winged this altogether. Any questions ask I'll answer in a timely matter as I'm just watching Californication right now, lol.

Turn off your phone, pull the battery.
Step 3.
Connect a microusb cable to your computer.
Step 4.
Extract the "One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-23.rar" to a folder. You'll see 2 folders, NVFlash and APX.
Step 5.
Right click My Computer, click on Manage. Go to Device Manager. Open up the APX folder you extracted, as well as the NVFlash folder (see Step 8).
Step 6.
Push and hold Vol Up+Vol Down. Plug in the USB Cable to your phone. Your computer will beep, indicating device plugged in, unless you have it on mute. This does NOT reset your phone in any way. You SHOULD get a dialog telling you to install drivers or something. If not, switch to Device Manager and you should see an uninstalled device.
Step 7.
Install those drivers (in the APX folder).
Step 8.
Open up the NVFlash folder and locate "OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe". Run it.
Step 9.
Take your pick if you want internal recovery or external recovery (w/ sdcard), then click it. You'll see a S/W download on your phone. Wait until the blue screen finishes. If no errors pop up, see Step 10. If an error does pop up, redo install (as instructed).
Step 10.
Let go of Vol Up+Vol Down. Pull out USB cable. Get into CWM recovery using Vol Up+Power when phone is off. Let go when you see the blue wavey LG logo.
the problem i am having is trying to get that flasher to download
Rooting is not for everyone. If you are having this much trouble, you should find a friend that has done it and let them go at it.

OK I apologize ahead of time for what is probably a ridiculously easy question for most.
The ATT 1X is my first android and this is the first phone that I've rooted.
I read for hours and followed the instruction to a T. I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM.
I can get into Recover/Boot mode or whatever you call it on phone startup, I have the Super user icon in my files, but I have no idea what to do now.
I found a ROM that I thought was worth a shot (CleanROM 2.5) but I don't know what to do. I've read and researched for hours now and everyone's problems seem to be complicated but no one talks about this.
I downloaded the ROM to my computer but I don't know what to do with the files, I can't find a .bat file or anything to initialize it and I am stuck.
I've wiped the data and done everything in the steps but I'm stuck at actually installing it. I know I'm obviously doing something wrong but I feel like I'm very close to what needs to be done.
Any help is welcome, thanks

I recommend you check QA thread found in a sub forum under your devices section and you review the stickied post for ROM install or Google "android install custom ROM " (remove quotes). Too much info on this already to type it all back out here. Did you watch you tube newb video you agreed to have watched when getting an xda account?
Essentially you now made it so your phone has the ability via CWM Recovery to now boot to that to install ROM zip or continue to use rooted stock ROM (how you flashed that zip for superuser is baasically same as how you flash a cwm compatible ROM zip (MOST but not all ROMs)) which with SuperUser can now run privelleged code if it is made to or requires it to run.

Thanks. I know this must seem so stupid, but I've been searching this forum, google, youtube and pretty much everything else for how to do this and I get it all and understand what's happening.
I just don't know where to put this ROM (which folder) to get it to install.

So after all that searching you never came across instructions informing you to put the zip on your phones storage?
You should probably just hold off a bit on flashing anything then. Not being mean but it sounds like you are confused by the process and end result. Step back and do some basic checklisting.

Download the rom you want and DO NOT UN ZIP IT. THEN PLACE THAT ZIP ON PHONE STORAGE AND BOOT INTO YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY . HIT INSTALL FROM SD CARD AND MAKE SURE THE ROM YOU DOWNLOADED IS LISTED BUT DONT FLASH YET. GO BACK THE THE MAIN SCREEN OF RECOVERY. NOW MAKE A BACKUP. WHEN THAT IS DONE GO BACK TO MAIN RECOVERY SCREEN AND HIT WIPE PHONE DATA AND THEN CONFIRM. THEN GO AND HIT CLEAR CACHE OPTION. THEN GO BACK AND GO TO ADVANCED AND CLEAR DALVICK CACHE. NOW YOUR READY TO FLASH. GO TO INSTALL ZIP FROM SD AND FLASH YOUR ROM. FIRST BOOT ALWAYS TAKES LONG AFTER FLASHING A NEW ROM :thumbup:

Been posting on the internet for decades, don't worry about being mean. I'm here to learn. I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM so that I could take advantage before the phone asked me to update the software to the 1.85 version.
My phone works fine now, and I did everything correctly which is what I was setting out to do. I'm in no rush to flash a ROM, but now that I'm ready I'm itching to try it out.

This is the process as I understand it and as stupid as it sounds, I'm hung up on where in phone storage to place the zip file of the rom. I don't see a storage folder, an SD folder, nothing that seems obvious and nothing that is in any of the things I've been reading or watching.

Plug phone into computer. When prompted, select Disk Drive. On computer, browse to your computer, open the 'disk drive', and copy the zip there. THAT is your sdcard as seen by your phone.

Yeah, some phones you may have to drag down notifications and tap USB mode or USB connected notification (it has standard USB icon and only appears when phone attached to computer). Then tap either USB storage mode or the button to enable USB drives. Then on computer just like a thumb drive it adds drive letter. Copy anything there that is /mnt/sdcard or /sdcard on phone. BE SURE TO EJECT DRIVES BEFORE AND TAP TO DISABLE USB ON PHONE IN THAT ORDER THEN UNPLUG FROM USB (failure to do so COULD result in data loss or corruption which you DO NOT want to happen to a ROM zip)!
Then boot in to recovery choose install zip from sdcard (not apply update from sdcard) as install from allows you to browse for any zip and install. Usually Vol up and down moves through menus and power or search button is enter. BE SURE THE ROM YOU DOWNLOAD IS SPECIFICALLY MEANT FOR YOUR DEVICE OR YOU COULD EASILY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PLEASE REVIEW HOW TO RUN NANDROID BACKUPS AND RUN ONE BEFORE INSTALLING A DIFFERENT ROM.
I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH IF UNSURE DON'T PROCEED, BE SURE YOU RUN NANDROID BACKUPS AND ENSURE YOU FOLLOW INSTALL DIRECTIONS INCLUDED WITH YOUR ROM. ALSO, NEVER FORMAT EMMC (AKA INTERNAL SDCARD) IT ALMOST GUARENTEES A BRICKED DEVICE.

Is all good, and now you see why we were kinda scratching our heads wondering what was up a little . Glad we could help get you going though welcome to the world of custom ROMs. Please just be careful and always do backups and take it slow and read things 2x before even attempting once. While it can be easy to do it is also easy to accidentally brick your device (make it not work and have to be sent out for repairs).

ALL:
It has been a long time since I posted to this thread. Back then, the Samsung Exhilarate had just come out, and there was no way to root it. Thanks to several other members, most notably j3r3goss and shabbypenguin, I was able to get root on this phone. As of now, this post is very old. The instructions here, are not needed for you to root your Samsung Exhilarate anymore. You are free to read through them, but you should pay attention to the last page (currently page 3). There, j3r3goss posted a link to the the TWRP or CWM recovery files, that you can now use to get root, without following the step-by-step instructions I posted below. I'm leaving the thread up, but for all intents and purposes, consider it closed.
Here's the link to the section you need in order to root your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=32520094
It has been fun, and I've been using my Exhilarate for nearly two years. Because I've been extremely busy, I haven't had time to keep up with the latest changes - but others have. I hope that you found these instructions useful.
In any case, take care and ROOT ON!
Everything past this point is old and no longer applicable
==========================================
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have UPDATED your phone to ICS, and want to root it, these instructions will work. You will not need to do the last part where you need to update the firmware keys!
Do you plan to update your phone from Gingerbread (Android 2.3) to Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0). Do that first! Otherwise, you'll just have to root again (not that that's a problem, but why???)
I) How to update to ICS:
1) Download Samsung Kies from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ if you haven't already, and install it, and then run it
2) Put your phone into ODIN (Download mode - see section II below).
3) When Kies detects you phone (your computer will need to install drivers, and then Kies will say it's connecting to your phone, and it will take about 3-4 minutes and finally connect to it), it should let you know that there is an update. Just follow the instructions on Kies and be patient. The phone will update, and once it reboots into normal mode, you'll know it's updated by going to "Settings" and if they are grouped into different sections, then you have ICS. Otherwise, you probably still have GB.
II) How to enter ODIN Mode:
For the Exhilarate I've found it's best to use this sequence:
1) Power phone down
2) Plug the USB cable into your computer (do not plug the phone into the USB cable yet).
3) While pushing and holding both the vol up and vol down buttons, plug the phone into the computer. As soon as you see "SAMSUNG" flash and then dissappear, release the buttons.
4) Phone should boot into ODIN mode.
III) How to Root
What you need:
1) Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate phone (unrooted)
2) microSD Card (any size of 1GB or larger will work)
3) USB cable to connect your phone to your computer
4) Files below
First, download all the files...
1) Download the latest version of ODIN here: ODIN.
2) Download the drivers here: Samsung Galaxy Drivers and run the setup program after unzipping.
3) Download the tar file here: www.Shabbypenguin.com/OUDstuff/Blaze4G/Clockworkmod-Blaze-4G.tar Don't mess with it, just download it somewhere where you can find it later
4) Download SuperUser here: SuperUser Save it somewhere where you can find it later.
Second, conduct the root:
1) Put your phone into Odin (Download mode - see Section II above).
2) With phone in ODIN mode, run Odin.1.85.exe (it's in the folder where you unzipped ODIN too).
3) Odin will launch on your computer. It should show, in the first box under ID:COM, a port in yellow. Mine was Port 5. This means you have successfully connected to your phone.
4) Click the button in ODIN labeled "PDA", and then browse to the .tar file you downloaded above and then select "Open". The file will show up next to the PDA button.
5) Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked!;
6) Click "Start" and wait till your phone reboots. It should reboot into normal mode. If it doesn't, just power down and reboot into normal mode.
7) Copy the SuperUser.zip file you downloaded above to your phones microSD card.
8) Reboot the phone into recovery mode: While pushing and holding both the vol up and vol down buttons, push the power button. As soon as you see "SAMSUNG" flash, release the buttons. You shouldn't need to have the phone connected to the computer this time. The phone will boot into CWM recovery.
9) using either: the "menu" button to move down and the "home" button to move your selection up; or alternately the volume down button to move down, and the volume up button to move up: highlight "install zip from sdcard". Use the "search" button or power button to select/enter.
10) highlight "choose zip from sdcard" and press the "seach" button to select it.
11) browse to the directory which you copied SuperUser to and select it.
12) scroll down to "Yes - Install Superuser" and select it.
13) Once done, reboot your phone into normal operating mode.
14) If rooting Gingerbread, see Section IV below.
15) If rooting either Gingerbread or ICS, see section V below.
16) If having issues with Root, see section VI below.
IV) Rooting Gingerbread?:
Last: Finish up (Steps 1-4 are ONLY needed if you are still using GingerBread and not Ice Cream Sandwich):
NOTE: Your buttons (the four at the bottom) WILL NOT work at this point. You need to do the following:
======
1) Push your phone dialer as if you were going to make a call.
2) Dial *#*#2663#*#*.
3) You will see the attached thumbnail below on your phone (stolen from j3r3goss).
4) press the bottom button that says "Touch key FW update". Wait. Once it's finished, your bottom row of buttons will work again!
Note: If you are on GB, and not ICS, every time you boot into recovery and then back into operational mode, you will need to do the four steps in this section above!
======
V) Using either GB or ICS:
You do need to do these last steps (I believe):
5) ADDENDUM/UPDATE: At this point, there is one last thing you need to do!: You must go to "Settings/Applications/Development" and Enable USB Debugging! If you don't do this, you will NOT be able to get root access! Also, if for any reason you turn off USB Debugging, make sure you turn it back on! If you lose root access, check this FIRST! If you still can't get root access, boot into recovery mode and wipe the Dalvik Cache, the regular Cache, and "Fix Permissions". Then double check to make sure USB Debugging is ENABLED!
6) You're done! Your phone is now rooted and you can do whatever you want! :highfive:
VI) TROUBLESHOOTING:
If you run into problems
1) Check to make sure that SuperUser is installed on your phone. Check the apps section first, and then, use RootExplorer and check the System/bin folder. If you see SuperUser is in the system/bin folder, then you are very close to being rooted.
If it is not installed:
a) make sure that you copied the superuser.zip file to the EXTERNAL sdcard.
i) Boot the phone up normally
ii) plug the phone into your computer, pull the notification bar down, select USB connection, and tap the "Connect USB storage" button.
iii) Using Winbloze explorer, copy the SuperUser.zip to the external sdCard (on my computer, it is drive F:, and the Internal is drive G.
iv) disconnect once the copy is finished and use any file explorer on your phone to check the contents of the external sdCard (look in the "sdcard/external_sd" folder)
v) if it's not there, then you are doing something wrong. If it is there, shut down the phone, and boot into CWM recovery.
vi) Use CWM recovery to install the superuser.zip file on your phone.
vii) reboot into normal mode
viii) check to make sure that you have enabled USB Debugging
viii) check again to see if SuperUser is now in your apps, and in the system/bin folder.
ix) Run SuperUser 1x, and then close it out.
x) Run ANY app that requires Root Permissions. You should get a request from SuperUser to "Allow" or "Deny" the app root access. Make sure you allow root access. If you make a mistake, you'll need to launch superuser again and completely remove the app from the denied list.
2) Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.
3) if you still can't get root, boot into CWM Recovery, and try clearing the cache and the Dalvik cache, and resetting permissions, then reboot and check everything again. You may need to do this last step several times.
Beyond that, I don't know what else might be causing you to not gain root access, so keep trying.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to PM me.

Thanks for the write-up Black-wolf.
I wasn't aware that the touch key fw needed to be updated each time after booting recovery,hopefully that is something that will be fixed when Shabbypenguin gets his hands on the stock recovery.
Personally I find the easiest, works every time method to get into Download mode is to have the usb cable plugged into the pc, then while holding the volume up/down buttons, plug the cable into the phone, continue holding vol up/down buttons until download mode boots.

Yeah, I figured that out when I went to boot recovery to check something, and then came out of it and the keys weren't working again... :/ At least there's a work around. I suspect, that this is something that an automated app could handle if Shabby or someone else doesn't come up with a permanent fix.

Any update on getting the stock recovery? I blew through rooting my Exhilarate before I noticed the request for help or I would have offered.
The root seems to be working OK for me. JuiceDefender is working great with it to throttle the CPU clock speeds and has really improved my battery life. Also worked OK in blocking all the bloatware apps with the Gemini App Manager. So I don't really have a reason to unroot and go back to stock firmware, but it would be nice to have the option available should I ever hit a problem.
Thanks for all you guys hard work!

To get into stock recovery you...
1. open a command terminal on your computer.
2. type cd (where ever you have your ADB located on your computer) for example my is located in desktop/platform-tools so the command would be "cd desktop/platform-tools"
3. type "adb"
4. type "adb reboot recovery"
Presto you are in stock recovery.

We know how to boot into the stock recovery. What we need is to pull the stock recovery image off of the phone so that we can restore the phone to stock.
Btw.. pressing both volume keys while turning on the phone will get you there also.
I rooted the exhilarate. Loaded the t mobile blaze cm7 rom. And all works like a charm. The only thing is you can't make a call. You can,you just can't hear. I called my other phone and it went through. The speaker doesn't work. Mms and all works. Just not the speaker...... why? This wud. Be a awsome rom for this phone.. think we can find a fix?

I'm not exactly sure but it might be just as simple as replacing the audio libs on the blaze rom with the ones from the exhilarate. I'm not sure which files though.
I'm curious if by coming together (blaze and exhilarate users) if there would be enough interest to get official cm support. if the only major diff is audio they could basically support 2 devices for the price of one.

If i knew/or had the kno how,shoot id do it. Is there a program u need to change the libs?. This is a pretty sweet device.
i think you just need root explorer, and copy the new ones over the old ones. I'll look to see if i can find out which files need swapped. Should be able to make a zip to flash through CWM recovery.

NFC for Exhilarate!
All: rodracruz found a thread for enabling NFC on AT&T phones. Apparently, the Samsung Exhilarate does have NFC - but why the hell AT&T has it disabled, I have not idea... In any case, check out this thread and follow the instructions to enable it on your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545751
There are even links as to some of the things you can do with NFC.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have anything to do with the audio lib files. More so most likely a kernel, modem, or APN problem.
Edit: not to mention the build.prop is completely written for the blaze. I'm working on some things. I'll let you guys know tonight. I wish there was source for this damn phone.
