I need help with roms

I cannot flash roms or kernel. It won't boot recovery!!! I have stock rooted shift. How do I make a custom recovery? And install roms and kernel

Probably the easiest way is to download ROM manager from the market. The first option in the app is flash clockworkmod. Very fast and automagic. Have fun! Happy flashing.

I have that and kernel manager. Flashed it twice after it didn't work the first time. It hangs up on the HTC boot logo after I try to boot recovery

turn off your phone
power it on while holding vol down.
does the first line say S-OFF or S-ON?

S on I didn't do nand

I've tried a few more things. I used visionary to root my phone. Was that the wrong thing? It all works. But I can't flash. Lol

That's just a temp root. Go into the development section and use the GUI Root and recovery tool...worked for me.

Yeah if you want you can use terminal emulator on your phone just open it up hit su get your super user permissions then start the commands the first time I rooted I did it using adb the second time I rooted I lost my adb and just chrome to phoned all the codes from my pc to root it from my phone

Alright!! Thank you all who have been helping. I have only a few more questions because I'm a little slow ^_^ ok, first. From the emulator I typed Su and gave permission.... now what? I looked for the commands in development and couldn't find. I'm trying to turn s off. I don't care so much about perm or temp root right now as long as I get that annoying s on to be s off. Lmao. I need commands please!!! Assume I have no access to a computer!

Check out the development subforum. It's a sticky thread by bcnice20.
i dont need a signature

Alright I have that, now its not explained there but in order to do that via the terminal do I need to dl the framework and sdk to my phone? I do not have a running computer right now. I had a crap amd system which is officially dead. It's now all spare parts. So doing the shell on a computer isn't going to work for me :/ yes, I'm difficult. Lol

the commands given in that thread is the exact ones you would need, but since you're using a terminal emulator in your phone, you don't need adb.
do step 1
skip step 2
do step 3,4,5 via your terminal
do step 6
extra points:
once you're perma-rooted, you can go straight to installing Rom Manager, and flash clockworkrom that way.
then reboot your phone to recovery, and do a nandroid backup.
once that's done, you're all set.

Thank you dude!!!!!!! That rocks!!! I'm at work and I'm doing it right now. This is way more important than work ^_^ anyone else addicted to Android?

When the perm root method was finally developed I was at work with no access to a PC. I ended up rooting via phone terminal just because I couldn't bear to wait a couple hours until I got home.
^ Shift Faced

Could someone explain step 1 and 3 for me if I'm using android terminal emulator. I tried it but nothing happened. My device is temprooted. I download the file into the download folder. I use root explorer to extract it... where?? I tried a couple places even the root folder (Its not in SD card) then once its good how do I check the md5 from the terminal. I type Su to get permission then what? The string in the post doesn't seem to do anything no matter how I type it. Or maybe I just don't know the command. I'm fairly new to this kinda thing. :/

That's awesome. I'm feeling the same way. I don't want to wait for a computer it might be a few weeks I'm impatient now lol

Wait, I got part of it. I just need to know how to save the file to the root of the SD card and then how to check the md5sum. Once I know that I'm good to go

Download root explorer and long press the file in your download folder, then back out to your sd card directory and select move. You should be able to check mdsum5 in the term app using the commands given

Yes i will do it for you. I have all the info i need from Scaryghoul. Given everything goes well. I have a feeling you missed a step.
Heres what i will do
1.DL the attached file here :

2.put in the Directory "C:\New Folder\"
3.Open powershell and type "set-executionpolicy remotesigned" w/o quotes of course (as for rest of my description)
4.type "cd C:\New Folder\TempRootEvoShift.ps1
5. Let it do its thing
6. Copy the two necessary files "misc.img" and the 2.2 install "PG06IMG.zip" to the sd card root found here:
Second mics.img mirror: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15373824/misc.img and:Mirror for PG06IMG: http://dev-host.org/xmlaaco0s2ph/PG06IMG.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7.Run android terminal emulator. and type "dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17"
8. Reboot into bootloader where it will flash the "PG06IMG.zip" and reboot.
9. Get visionary like we did at work and hopefully you can live with temproot till i get the permroot down.
to everyone else this would be the correct way right? Of course double checking before i touch my friends phone.

Ok then im missing the ruu and 2.2. That would be the misc correct? So i think i need frevo again. I mightve gotten a bad one.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

I don't know how to help with temp root as it's basically just copy and paste once you have temp root just download the RUU and the misc posted in the thread (if you don't know the thread ill get a, link) and put them on the root of your sd card. then my personal reccomendation is just do the rest from terminal emulator on your phone.
Type:
su (then allow superuser permissions
Then type the command posted in the thread (there's only one)
Then flash the RUU in hboot by turning the phone completley off (no fastboot) and holding down volume down and power at the same time a screen should come up and it will load the zip.
During the process the phone might reboot once just don't touch it. It automatically boots back up into bootloader

[q] [xoom 2] i think it's bricked

Uhm, I have a XYBOARD 10.1 inch (WIFI ONLY) And I edited something in Build.PROP. I then restarted at to my surprise it goes completely black after it shows the Motorola DUAL CORE screen. I can get into the recovery. I even Factory Resetted thinking that might help but, Nothing. Is there anything I can do to restore it? Because I'd rather not have an expensive XYBOARD paper weight.

BUMP? I really need help.

if you can get to recovery, you should be able to push stock OS via ADB.. there is a guide in the Xoom development section.

Also, How do you push it on using ADB?

I think there is no way to solve the problem. Send it to Motorola and will fix it for you.

As the XOOM2/Xyboard has a locked bootloader and no bootstrap for a recovery so your stuck right now until Motorola decides to care about the Android community. Also adb is not possible from what I heard when it can't boot. If you want some help then contact the not many Xyboard devs here "Bricks" as they are always happy to help bricked people.

I'm in the same situation as you as of today (But I have the Verizon Droid Xyboard 10.1). Messed around with the Build.prop and now its not working. I have a copy of the original Build.prop but don't know how I can push it to my tablet.
Adb is not working but fastboot is.
I don't think my original build.prop would be any help to you since I have the 4G version but if you want it let me know and I will send it to you!
Looks like I may have to send it to Motorola :-(

OK guys, no worries... I think I know the solution.
1 - enter in recovery
2 - open cmd on your PC
3 - go to adb and fastboot folder via cmd
4 - type:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su
cd /system
rm build.prop
exit
5 - copy original build.prop to this folder (adb one)
6 - type:
Code:
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb reboot
exit
Hope that helps you guys it already helped me (I have the Origina Xoom)

Just one more little thing, I presume you guys have su, as you changed build.prop and recovery (because to install super user recovery is needed!) If you guys don't have them, I'm sorry but don't know a solution...

Just download zip and place in system/media using a file manager like Root Explorer is the way to go...simply press and hold on file to extract all...then copy and paste the animation in the system/media folder. Make sure permissions are set to rw-r--r--

Try and not use root explorer... It is 100% safer to use adb and the command line to do things like this.... If you want the commands to run to do the job then PM me, and I will give you a rundown.
Too many people with this phone and other phones have had a TON of trouble with root explorer and other file manger apps making more than just permissions changes to files, things like corrupting the files, and even changing their file type bit.

LOL, it's not that bad, just make sure you have a windows recovery disk with you incase you screw up the MBR. I have done that, then nothing boots at all. Scary as hell. it's super easy to fix, but you need a windows restore disk. Ignore this and don't be scared unless something bad happens, then run to google and be calm. There is very little you can do that is not easy to fix. Just don't format your whole hard drive or something if you want it working with windows.

Ok it gets a little techy here, make sure to follow all directions carefully. It says you can access adb via recovery, don't go that way since "recovery" on the LG mytouch is simply a factory reset. This will actually replace that stock recovery with more extensive options and the ability to flash custom ROMs (cm9). I suggest using adb while fully booted up.
