I just nvflashed cwm and flashed a already rooted rom. Just remember to backup your stock rom. Its not a must, but its good to have if u ever want to go back to stock with ease.

Thanks, i flashed CWM but ended up using MIUI ROM instead of the OTA GB 2.3.3, it's awesome

Is there a list of rooted ROMs? Specifically, is CM7 a rooted ROM? Don't kill me, this is my first attempt at rooting and flashing ROMs.

Yes, check the sticky at the top of the G2x Android Development thread. I currently use:
-CM7 (of course) - Flash RC1 if you are looking for stability
You may want to try:
-Gingerbread OTA 2.3.3 Rooted flashable zip v1.0.0 icon fixes
It's what you already have, but just rooted.

A super-one click style root would be great. I hate the built in apps and don't want to downgrade to 2.2 and root and install the rooted version of 2.3.3.

You don't really downgrade. In fact, you should do it this way to ensure you get the radio update.

T959VUKJ6 Official update

Starting November 15...
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1810
Is this the same KJ6 as leak used in Development section? So WiFi stays not on par as on KD1?

I hope not. At least they are releasing something official. Maybe in 89 days we can get source.

My upgrade went smoothly, and all the apps are still there but root is gone.

I guess before running official update with kies you have to disable/uninstall lagfix at minimum... This will convert file system back to rfs.

I went ahead and let mini kies do its thing.... yes, I odined the kj1 kernel right on top for the voodoo and it works.

sorry for the dumb question, but after upgrading to gb will super one click work to root, and can we just use odin to flash one of the existing custom gb roms without needing to root. im assuming this had the correct gb bootloaders we need. thanks for the help.

Official kies will take care about bootloader... regarding super one click - newest version has claims to be able to root Samsung gb.
or you can apply pre-rooted kernel as champ1919 did.

there wont be a 2.3.7 update. Only 1 device received 2.3.7 officially and that was the NS4G and that was to fix a WiMax issue.

After following suggestion in GPS thread it works pretty good. I did not tested that much yet, but so far I can tell that it locks on 7+ satellites quicker than is KD1.

[Q] Need to Unroot 2.3.5 GSII Skyrocket

I'm here with a rooted Skyrocket (AT&T) on G-Bread 2.3.5 and need to unroot.
I originally rooted while I was on 2.3.4, but about a month and half ago the firmware automatically updated to 2.3.5.
I used DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su method.
My end-game is to get back to complete stock Skyrocket.
Grazie

1) why would u want to...?
2) flash stock rom via odin.
3) learn to use the search button.
4) have a good day.

I would suggest reading about the leak before you flash it. Flashing stock will trip your flash counter, flashing ICS will not.

Need 4.1.1 stock.

Hi guys. I need the 4.1.1 stock that I can flash on my phone so I can see if my UI lag is just a problem with 4.1.2. And also I need to know how I can do this. I have a nandroid but I don't know if my custom recovery or bootloader works with it.

Per your nandroid question, you aren't making sense. You can't do a nandroid if you don't have a custom recovery. The status of your bootloader is moot, it works fine either way since its stock, rooted firmware. Your bootloader status matters when you want to flash custom kernels or roms.
Were you looking for the bloated stock tar for Odin which removes root? Both VRBLK3 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 tars can be found in the guide by Open1your1eyes0 thread which is in the dev section. Search and you'll see it.
If you want the VRBLK3 4.1.1 rooted flashable zip for CWM/TWRP then do a search for this in the dev section cuz its fairly old. Flash it in recovery like you would any rom.

Yeah I didn't really word that to well. I needed the 4.1.1 update because I wanted to update to 4.1.2 through Keis because it is supposed to fix lag problems with S3's that came with 4.1.2 stock. I was worried that if I were to do this, it might not be compatible with my recovery. Sorry for the confusion.

Ahh ok, well I answered you in the General sticky as well. Odin flash VRBLK3 4.1.1 or VRBMB1 4.1.2 then you can take OTAs. Any time you flash a stock tar, this removes every trace of custom software except your flash counter in different download mode.

Atrix 2 ROM questions

I'm wondering what is the benefit to using a custom ROM on the Atrix 2? I've been eyeballing the dirty unicorn ROM, but honestly the stock ROM seems to work well enough. With my kindle fire it was an obvious choice as I hated the stock ROM, but other than a few missing features the Atrix 2 seems just fine. What's you guys thoughts?

more options, less bloatware, runs faster, and more stable, actual suupport that you dont get from motorola.
along with a cleaner look, but thats all opinion.
Basically the same reason for all devices. Stock just sucks.

If you like stock ICS, but are considering a custom ROM then you should try NUMA.
It's still ICS, but it's a huge upgrade from the Motorola ICS, and because it is stock based it's the only custom ROM that has all the hardware features working. That said, since the breakthrough with Kexec, I have flashed every JB ROM here and they're all great in their own respects. My advice to you would be to try them all. You're sure to find one that suits your needs. :thumbup:

Couple of more questions, first up: what's Kexec? Next: if I flash a custom is it possible to go back stock? Last up: does flashing a ROM effect your unlock status? I would hate to lose that.

My knowledge of Kexec is limited but my understanding is that it is a way to load a custom kernel on top of the stock kernel. This is needed because the locked bootloader prevents us from simply overwriting the stock kernel.
Yes you can flash the FXZ via RSD lite to return to stock. You'll need to find the FXZ that is specific to you're phone ESPECIALLY if it is an AT&T branded phone. Just make sure you know your phone's model number and firmware version so you can find the correct FXZ.
No, flashing a ROM will not have any effect on your carrier unlock, and neither will flashing an FXZ.

Just did some looking at numa. Looks good on paper, I like Ics so I don't think I'll upgrade to jellybean anytime soon. So numa it is when I decide to flash. But it looks like I need to do my homework on flashing the Atrix 2. that locked bootloader seems to be a pain. I don't need a bricked device.

Honestly if you follow flashing instructions in the op of rom threads, chances are very slim that you will brick. Soft brick, maybe, but those are easy to recover from. My rule of thumb, titanium backup everything before flashing a rom,

Just flashed numa and I'm very happy with it so far. It seems to be really stable so far, and allot of the extras are nice. Like the toggles in the notification bar. Thank you everyone for taking the time to answer my questions, it really helped.

If you can not answer these types of questions on your own then you have no business flashing anything as you will most likely get yourself in trouble. What you need to do is read, read, read, read, and read and learn the answers to these questions for yourself. All the information you need is readily available and easy to find you just have to look for it. Step by step instructions are listed in the op of every ROM so there is no need to repost them all here. The only short cuts with this phone almost always lead directly to bricked phones. Also, "best ROM" inquiries not allowed because the answers are subject to user experience and therefore varies from user to user. What is good for me may not be good for you.

You probably flashed the ROM which had to be flashed only via BMM. Do an fxz and flash ROM using BMM.
Btw which ROM did you flash?

You can only flash GB ROMs if your stock firmware is GB. If your stock firmware is ICS, you can flash any ICS or jb ROM. That's probably what your issue is. Just reflash your FXZ, root, install Boot Menu Manager and try one of the ICS or JB ROMs. Make sure you read the instructions thoroughly this time to avoid any more problems.

Is boot menu manager compatible with GB stock ROM..... I saw a video tutorial they said its only for ICS or JB

I doubt it. If you're on GB then you probably need this instead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606257
And if you are on GB, then you can only flash the ROMs that are meant for GB. They are kind of old, though, and no longer supported.
