Sorry for your woes. Hope u get things worked out. If you do get things worked out wait until one of the devs fixes this issue. I'm sure well see a deodexed version soon, I hope.

I love it, downloading right now. Lets see how our phone files

This is huge. Has anyone rooted this yet? That's the question. Superoneclick doesn't seem to do the trick.

You can odin a ROM that's gotten rooted so you can use quickreboot or adb to get into recovery mode, then you can use CWM from there if you had it installed already. I just had to flash an old rooted ROM to be able to get to recover my CWM backup.

Thanks will update original post

Ah man I just got my phone to my liking lol.
I think I'll wait a bit though as this is almost like a KC1 for froyo. Leaked build, so there will probably be a final build avail via OTA and Kies.

nothing better to do might as well flash and play lol worse comes to worse can always odin back and recover with clockwork

super!
flashing rite now. let you guys know how it goes later.

Just curious ....Anyone else not able to get into download mode or stock recovery via ANY METHOD ?

That would be no bueno. Definitely interested to hear if you can get into Download mode, recovery not as much. DL at least you have ODIN.

^^uh oh

I think on the galaxy s phones they couldn't get into recovery or dl mode unless they flashed the gingerbread boot loader
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

Just flashed with no problem. Everything seems to work fine. I dont see much changes just some of the menu settings. Phone seems to run smooth. Gonna use it for a bit and let you guys know.
Thanksssssssssssssssss!!!

To going to download mode first you must open ODIN. Assume your phone is off. Then press and hold the volume + and - then plug the USB to your PC. You should see a BIG yellow triangle on the phone said Download mode. Hope this helps.

Keymapping is changed in GB. Not familiar with your phone nut on the original Vibrant GB bootloaders now require one volume key instead of two.

[Q] Lost CWM and Root

I need some help either getting root restored or getting CWM back. I rooted my G2X using the SuperOneClick method, did a nandroid backup of the original ROM, and then installed a CM7.1 nightly. After doing so, I found out that I no longer have root (or that the su binaries are corrupt) and there are a ton of issues with the currently CM7.1 nightly ROMs. I really just want to get back to the stock ROM that I have a nandroid of. When I do actually get to the Android Recovery screen, it sits at "Formatting MISC:..." and I can't select any other options (not sure what that's all about). I have tried rooting again, but I get errors saying things like "chmod: no such tool".
Does anyone know another way to get into CWM, know how to restore root, or have an alternative to restore a nandroid backup?

I had the same problem when updating from virtuous vision (froyo) to virtuous visioin unity. 2hat solved the issue for me was uninstalling SU and reinstalling it from the market.
Not shure if this'll solve it for you though.

Yup, nvflash CWM is your best bet at this point. Disregard the titanium suggestion.

Same exact thing happened to me. ROM Manager says I have CWM 3.0.2.7 current, but I can't reboot into recovery, restore any backups, fix permissions, etc. I noticed it when I tried to re-flash CM7 nightly #37 because my wifi was stuck at "obtaining IP address" and I was getting 3 or 4 force close notifications at startup. Installed root check and it said "root access is not properly configured or was not granted. SU binary not found in the system declared PATH."
Going to try nvflash CWM and go from there. Hoping to get this beast running proper!

People just need to stop tinkering with their phone's software if they don't know what they're doing. They screw something up and come crying back here for help. Now, I know we were all 'noobs' at one point... But at least put the effort into reading up on details and be at least 90% certain you know what to do, before you eff anything up. Seriously guys. We can help, but you shouldn't be doing this sort of stuff if you aren't up for it yet!
I know all of us, the more seasoned geeks, have had multiple android devices so we know our way around. And we were in the same boat as you once too... Learning the basics and all that. But don't be flashing roms and/or kernels if you don't know what adb is. #justsaying.
Now, for your problem. I'm not even sure if you used NVFlash to flash a recovery. And if your getting weird errors while booting into recovery, flash it again. Once in recovery all you have to do is restore your back up, simple as that. There's no need to flash other roms. Now, if you used ROM Manager to flash your recovery... Then your nandroid is probably stored on your internal SD. And if you have an external SD recovery then you can't get at it. Maybe I missed something but I'm not sure if that's even the problem. But there is a stock/rooted nandroid here in the dev section, copy that to the proper location on your external SD and proceed to restore that.
Try that first before you flash anything, It seems most logical to me at least

I found these instructions on using nvflash to reflash CWM recovery (link below). It worked like a charm for me- but I had a backup from just after I rooted. After restoring it to original (rooted), I wiped and reflashed the latest CM7 nightly #61 with gapps. You can probably just flash the latest nightly instead of going back to original like I did.

[Q] Rooting KG4!?

I know about the original thread but it's too long and about random stuff.
So i flashed via Odin to the KG4, it's fast and smooth but i would like to root it so i can (a) get my apps back with titanium and (b) have some fun. However, when doing the z-image and z-image root files with odin, the phone would show a boot screen and then come back, it would do it every minute or so. But this only happened while rooted. I was wondering if there is another way to root KG4?
Also can i use a regular backup app to restore my apps and data even though its in a titanium backup file?

I take no credit for this...
Thanks to corradokng for this method and to dsexton for finding original root zimage!!
For Root Follow Below:
THIS IS FOR ODIN
1. Flash This zimage-root-tar
2. Let Boot Loop Twice, you should see a fish.
3. Boot Back into Download Mode
4. Flash this. zImage-KG4.tar.md5
5. You should now have Root
6. Hit Thanks

[Q] Tons of problems with my Charge, any help?

I recently bought a charge off of ebay and it came in and I noticed it had an Gmail account still synced with it.
Ok I thought, I'll just remove it. I go to remove the account and it says that "some apps require this account to remove this account you need to reset phone to factory defaults".
Alright so I go to do that and the phone reboots after I wiped data/cache and I go to add my account and realize that the other account is STILL THERE. So I do the wipe a few more times and still stays there.
By this time I figured I would root the phone and install CWM and try and wipe data that way. That still didn't work and I just started trying to get a stock rom back installed and finally I did. Except the ACCOUNT WAS STILL THERE, but now I'm getting a ton of FC's ranging from google apps to other processes. I've tried to install different rom's/CWM's/kernels in ODIN on my Window's laptop and I would alwasy just get the talking voice saying things like "converting data partition" and then it would just boot back into the stock but keep force closing.
I am now using my Macbook Pro on spring break and am trying to fix this using Heimdall but i've still had no luck. Is there anyone that can help me with this?

Okay so it seems like you're sorta familiar with this kind of stuff so this shouldn't be too much trouble for you. You're going to need to go back to stock EP4D ROM and re-partition your device. Here is the link to where you can solve this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
You're going to have to use Odin (You're going to need Windows to run Odin) fit this because Heimdall just doesn't cut it and personally I've never used it. Get Odin 1.82, it works really well with the Charge. Download stock EP4D and also the charge.pit file from the posted link. Place stock EP4D md5 file in PDA in Odin and charge.pit in PIT. Make sure you have Re-Partition checked and Auto-Reboot and F.Reset Time UNCHECKED and press start. It will reconfigure everything and basically give you a brand new phone on the inside. Hope this helps and if you have any more questions just go back to the link to Imnuts' thread I posted.

No problem man I'm glad to help. If you want you can try a full data wipe. Boot into CWM and mount everything i.e. \system, \data, the whole nine yards and then wipe data/factory reset, and also wipe cache partitions and Dalvik cache. Then install whatever ROM you have available and see if that works. Otherwise you're SOL until you get a Windows computer and can Odin back to stock and re-partition everything.
EDIT: Just to clear something up, to mount everything scroll down to 'mounts and storage' in CWM.

However, when I went to flash the ROM, I got the "E: Can't open /sdcard/zROM/*name of ROM*.zip (bad). Now the phone won't reboot which I'm assuming is from formatting the system.

I cannot remember for the life of me remember what that error means, but you can just re-download the rom you want and place it in the sdcard by mounting USB storage through mounts and system, and then flash.

Make sure the Rom.zip isn't named Rom.zip.zip. if so rename correctly, also can check md5 of the zip to ensure its a good download prior to flashing.

I'm guessing it boiled down to a bad download, but for some reason I could not connect via USB from recovery on my laptop, so I brought it to my friends house and was able to get it to connect so I redownloaded the ROM along with another incase I got the same error, but it worked flawlessly. Thanks again to all that offered help instead of sending me a useless link via LMGTFY!
