Before trying to do anything, read read read and read some more. The problem you are having is easily fixed but you should definitely have read up on some of the dozens of guides out there as to what to do after you have rooted your phone
I'm not trying to patronize, but its always best to know what you're getting yourself into before you actually attempt to do it

Are you S-Off rooted? Turn your phone off (unplug it too), after it is fully shut down hold power+volume down until the bootloader comes up. At the top it will say S-On or S-Off, report back.

This Guy didn't add a recovery. My tips for him would be to unroot and not root till he is aware of the process. Im gonna back nexus on this one because if you have to hold the hand now, imagine what kinda water this person is going to go into not knowing anything

Very true, I just try to help everybody out regardless cuz that is the way I am. I do wish people would read more when trying to do stuff tho. I wouldn't try to root without knowing what I was doing.

Download cwm from the playstore. And then from the app it can flash the recovery for you. Prboy has a good link in his Sig on how to properly wipe the phone. But you should read up on adb commands and fastboot commands along with guides on how to flash a Rom. It will really help you out man

Dude you forgot your recovery....I'm not sure how though as it should be in all instuctions posted. Recovery is the second most important thing you should understand, of course after knowing and understanding root.
Don't do it because your friend Bob has a rooted phone and says you will get tons of free apps ( this is not CRApple OS ) do it because you understand the benefits of having a rooted device.
*edit*
Listen to youngcorruption and download ROM manager to at least get recovery then start reading

Hard Bricked Samsung Galaxy S 4G...Please help..

Hi, everyone, I've recently HARD BRICKED my Samsung Galaxy MODEL: T959V with T-mobile.
First off, I got pattern locked on my phone, yea I know I'm an idiot, LOL. Next I totally forgot my gmail password so I could not log back into my phone.
So then I next decided to flash back to stock with odin 1.7 and T959UVJFD. tar file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1047087.
As a result, my phone would boot to the loading screen with the dashed circle and a battery display in the background and thus would not finish booting all the way.
So I figured I would do more research and found that people would try flashing with the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...833024&page=49 and after flash back to stock.
After I flashed with the Eugene rom this was when the phone completely died and would not turn on. I tried the take out the battery, holding down and up volume button and plugging into computer method but the computer would not detect it anymore.
Now I don't know what to do. I realized I was flashing with the Galaxy Vibrant kernels with Odin and now, it won't turn on anymore and can't boot into download mode. It is also not being detected my computer when I plug it in. I'ts a blank screen.
Please help.. Thanks, and appreciate it.

Hello!! I bricked my gs4g, couldn't put it in download mode with the regular bottoms combo, so what I did was:with the phone off push volume bottoms, both in the same time nothing else, then connect your phone with the computer(usb), that gave me download mode

I hope not. I don't really charge my phone that much, like every 1.5 days i charge it. Don't use it that heavy, I dont even have it over clocked, it running at 1GHz.
I have insurance, I want to call them to get a replacement but I have S-OFF, and I cant get into the phone to turn it back on.

Have you tried the stock pd15.img. That will make it purely stock, you flash it in the bootloader.

This is a weird problem. The phone is def not bricked and it is not your emmc chip or processor. Go into my thread stickyed in the dev section and flash my file with the Eng bootloader and CWM 5. At that point go into recovery and try to restore an old backup.

ok so you gotta provide more information about this rooting solution you have going on. You cant just post in the dev section and expect everyone to be on your level and understand what your doing here... more info would be helpful to be clear and not have to answer the same question a billion times.
edit:
Ok I see this is for rooting your g2x using the zergrush process.. a little explanation goes a long way.. Although this should probably be in the general section since its not dev'in... just my opinion.

What is this? Root? Is that short for root beer? Wow its been almost a year now since I saw that topic brought up. Well thinking back the release of v21e. Hmmm what was that stuff we used to get back in the day? It is simple enough to do I guess. It is always good to have more than 1 solution. I really forgot about it being that all but 3 Rome have root.
And come on, why does it have to be a baby seal?
Does any one know if this will work on total 2.3.4? I would try but after I post I am flashing kwes's 2.3.4

My rom is already rooted. If youre on stock v21y you can easily root using super oneclick if you dont want to flash my rom, however my rom adds more then just root. Well its not my rom, I just kanged LG and made some improvisations.
On topic: OP you should really add more info to your posts if you intend on posting in the dev section. The majority of us know there are alot of easy ways to gain root, hell you can root a g2x with a scientific calculator if you put your mind to it...
Back off topic: i loled at the baby seal punching thanks.

Weird occurrence

This is my first post so bear with me lol. I had previously thought about rooting my Skyrocket and had flashed Cwm recovery. I then decided against it in light of waiting for ICS ota and flashed to stock using k0nane tar file so I could receive OTA's. This did the trick to get rid of Cwm and I was able to update to 2.3.6 without issue when it became available via ota. Yesterday (month + on stock 2.3.6) I used a friends T-Mobile charger and turned my phone off for faster charging. The next thing I know I'm in download mode and even weirder I have a 1 on the flash counter and it says I'm running a custom rom.... why does it say I'm on a custom rom when I flashed stock and why would plugging my phone into a T-Mobile charger into the wall I might add not the computer put me in download mode. It reminds me of a jig, but its the standard USB cable ...
Sent from my soon to be rooted I727
it probably went into download mode because when you plugged in the charger you had the volume buttons pressed also there is a flash counter reset zip for our skyrocket so if you flash it in your recovery the counter should go away

I thought the same thing with the volume buttons and replugged the phone in while on and proceeded to shut down and same thing. Its not a big deal and when I went home I tried my old Atrix charger as well as my current Skyrocket charger and the phone simply went to the battery charging image as it is supposed to. As for resetting the count I saw that earlier today in a post by I believe cdshepard or some variation of that name. That will reset the counter but why does the stock tar show up as a custom rom? No problems to note...just curious. I need cwm and flash the zip from SD correct. (No wipes / formatting necessary?)

yeah all you need is cwm and just flash it no need to wipe and i heard that the stock tar in k0nane's thread was modified in some way when i tried it out it never worked so i just used the one from samfirmware.com
The fact that I took the 2.3.6 OTA without issue and it still said custom rom just made me start thinking. Thanks

[Q] Is there someone working on a root method?

Hey guys, as the title states, is there anyone working on root method for the latest OTA (9/4/12)? I foolishly updated, as always hoping they'd fix the reloading issue, and now I'm stuck on it because I can't seem to find a working root method for this update. If anyone needs a test phone, then I'm up for it, I gotta get this thing working properly already!!
Thanks,
John

I've been looking for one for the past 3 weeks and it doesn't seem like there is one...As to whether anyone is working on one, its hard to tell :\
But yeah, like Chad the Pathfinder said, you should keep checking that thread.

Yeah, I sent him a PM, actually two, but no response. Was offering him to test whatever he needed tested, perhaps he's still working on something to test.

I know what you mean, I've also gone through a bunch of different websites, and nothing there, perhaps another phone with a similar OS has a solution that could be worked off of. Heck, I've fiddled around with a few different methods, but the primary issue is not being rooted. I managed to get a part of the clockwork recovery, but even though I had a ROM in the sdcard root, my phone just rebooted, and no change was made, may try a different ROM for the heck of it.
Takes time if it's going to happen. He's a fairly busy person .
Haha yeah, someone spoken of so highly must be extremely busy as a result

I'll PM him and see if I can help in anyway .
Hmm could you tell him that I would be willing to help too? I mean I'm a noob and I'm definitely not a developer but if theres anything to be tested, I would be willing to do it

He doesn't ignore the " newbs " . Remember we are all newbs at some point or another. He just has a busy schedule. Plus keep in mind he does not own a Shift.

By that I mean we're not on the priority list to contact, when he sees our messages he just doesn't respond to start unnecessary conversations that may take up his time. O well, for now, we wait!
Hey guys, after mixing the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558532 method and the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871129 method, I achieved temp root, and managed to flash PG06IMG.zip and downgrade. Very happy at the moment and on Android 2.2!!!

Were you on the latest ota?
You should write up a guide for those who need it

I think I will, even though I just used an external application to do the reboots for me, where tacroot couldn't get the permissions.
It came as a surprise, as most of the stuff I tried failed me.
Hmm maybe this will inspire future devs to just mix and match rooting methods to get root
Nice job even thinking of combining those though
