Hey everyone im kinda new to the forums.. Anyways i just downloaded GB 2.3.3 the other day. Well after that i realized my phone wasnt rooted anymore. So i updated simpleoneclick and it wouldnt work. Anyone had any success rooting their g2x after the update?
Another person with a broken search button. Need to get that fixed.
At the present time, there is no root for the GB update. There is a way to root GB but it required going back to 2.2.2 and then loading a custom GB rom.
Ya mine has been broken for awhile.. Ive been trying to fix it but no luck.. Anyways any idea if theyre working on a root for it, and if so how long do you think itll take?

There is a rooted OTA ROM in the development thread. Flash that with recovery and you will have root back and 2.3.3.

no, you dont need to flash back to 2.2
My device came with 2.3.3 you dont need to downgrade. Just nvflash cwm recovery and flash over top of the default firmware.

Apparently, you can flash with CMW Recovery without being rooted, and also make nandroids and restore them. You will not be able to use apps that require root like titanium backup.

I am a noob (first post) but I learned a lot by monitoring the forums the past few days. If you flash a rooted rom, then you can use use apps that require root access. At least that is how my G2x seems to be working.

Yes - flashing it has rooted your phone. I am somewhat surprised by this however. I would have thought rooting was done at a deeper level then anything in a ROM, but apparently that is not the case.
Good news is whatever the case, it works.
Recovery has nothing to do with the rooted status of your phone. Nvflash and cwm work no matter what.

Having an unlocked/unencrypted bootloader gives us G2X owners a LOT of flexibility with what can be done with our phones in terms of customization. Its one of the main reasons I couldn't wait for this phone to be released. Check out the first post in this thread over in the Atrix forum for a rundown of the differences between locked/unlocked/encrypted bootloaders:

im sorry for the noob questions but could you elaborate on the steps you took to do this? Im having no luck figuring out so far.
Or if anyone else could explain the process.
I downloaded cwm but it says my phone needs to be rooted just to use it. So im stuck because im with 2.3.3 which isnt rooted. I just wanna go back to 2.2 so i can have root agian or so i can download custom 2.3.3 roms which are rooted already.
thanks
is flashing the rooted rom would root my phone perma or it would be unroot after flashing anything over that rooted rom?
you need one click reovery to flash the cwm with nvflash
There's so much out there I have to ask it directly. I know it's got to be in the forum somewhere but I've read probably half dozen ways to do this and it's confusing.
I have a TMob Galaxy S 4g T959VUVKJ6 running T959VUVKJ6-CL694130 kernel (hope that means something to someone!) with 2.3.6 firmware that came with the phone.
How can I get rid of bloatware?
If I have to root first is there an ez way to do that, like SOC that works on my phone?
I rooted a previous phone but with an older firmware and used SOC. Looking for the same process if I can. Thanks in advance.
SOC V2.3.3 will work on GB. If you just want to root and keep the stock ROM that's your best bet.

Check my signature for FB's debloater. You do need to be rooted & have CWM installed to use it.

SOC is one way, but given that you need to have CWM installed I would suggest using the third link in bhndven's [Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011].
After that, install [KERNEL]Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix [02/24] to get on the latest beta kernel. It has the latest CWM which resolves an issue with CWM 3 not being able to mount /system on Gingerbread.

SOC will work, just make sure you have the latest version. However, to debloat you need CWM so I would forgo SOC & install the stuff above.
Nope. I downloaded SOC 2.3.3, checked USB debugging, plugged in my phone, it didn't ask my anything about my card, turned on SOC, clicked Root, it went through Killing ADB Server, daemon not running, daemon started successfully, and sat there at Starting ADB Server. Tried several times but no joy. Is it me?
It said Not Responding.
I haven't used it to root in a really long time personally. I know others have gotten it to work recently. Maybe try a different usb port. Here's a guide with some info on it. Read down a little bit and you'll see it. Sounds like your doing it right. Do you want to stay on stock and just have root? Or will you be playing with custom ROMs?

Same result. It stops responding. I'm probably going to keep it stock. I may do a custom ROM later but right now I can't get it to root. Can't figure it out.
You need to try a USB that you haven't used on your phone before. Follow the first link in my signature and go to the part about rooting. If fresh USB port doesn't work after following the guide it will probably be your USB cable.

Still no joy. I think this is just too hard to do, which brings me back to my original question. I'm sure some wizard will come up with a way to do this soon - just not now I guess. Thanks for the help though! I appreciate it. I guess I'll stay stock for awhile yet.
How could you have done what I said in that short of time? I think you aren't reading thoroughly and are waiting for a specific answer you want to hear.
Just follow the second link in my signature. You will be on rooted stock with CWM and the guide is DUMMY proof.
I think your right lumin....outside of the vibrant....this is the easiest phone to root.
Sent from my SGH-T959V,SGH-T959 using xda premium.
Another simple way to get rid of bloatware is to use titanium backup or root explorer.
Because I am sitting at my computer working on this so it wasn't that hard to do. I had SOC open, had already downloaded file manager, etc. I never got a USB port to work but I'm going to try it again. Once I get a moment to take a deep breath. I really do appreciate the help but I don't want to do alot to do that. I got spoiled with SOC.

OK, I think it worked this time. The trick was to use IE and not Chrome apparently. It didn't go like the directions said but I ended up with a rebooted phone, lost all my apps and stuff, but with superuser on it so I assume I'm rooted and this won't start launching nuclear missiles or something. Thanks, Lumin! I appreciate your patience with me.
Hi. I have posted in another thread regarding problems with my Wind Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959W), which seems to be similar to rogerperk's issues, although the phone is a different model. lumin30 responded to the post saying that my phone is not supported by XDA. Being a noob, I don't understand why my phone is not supported. It is still a Galaxy S 4G, is it not; albeit with different baseband.

Billy even tho your phone is a SGS4G it is different from the T-Mobile phone. So our methods wont work. We dont know anything about your phone or even how to root it. You are probably stuck with a locked up phone.
Super One Click is not specific to our model phone. I will post a link to the website for you to read up on and determine if you want to try using it to root. I haven't read anybody messing their phone up with SOC - however, keep in mind you will not have a way to fix your phone if you do mess it up.

I am having the same problem with Contacts and with process com.motorola.contacts force closing that many others are having. I had rooted as well as uninstalled bloatware (instead of freezing, yes, I know!). Tried unrooting, reinstalling Yahoo and AT&T apps as suggested, factory resets, everything. Contacts still acts the same; that is, I can get to it but can't edit individual contacts nor get to Contacts Storage. I think it must have something to do with AT&T Address Book, which won't reinstall (says not supported but was there before).
At this point I just want to return Atrix 2 to its stock, 2.3.6 configuration and start all over. Can anyone help me, or is that not "out" yet?
Follow the instructions on flashing the 2.3.5 FXZ listed here (the beginner's guide) and then use the OTA update to get to 2.3.6. Next time make a CWM backup before you try any ROMs! It is inevitable that you'll eventually get stuck in some sort of boot loop.

It's not hard at all! Just follow the instructions listed EXACTLY and make sure that your battery is well charged before you do this -- if it dies during the middle of something like this, you could run into a tricky problem.

It's alot easier than it sounds....and im no pro. I was able to successfully flash 2.3.5 to mine that way the first time around following the instructions in the noob thread.
Atrix 2//RebelROM//Tapatalk 2
so let me get this straight....
I had 2.3.5 rooted. I accepted the OTA update to 2.3.6, so naturally, it un-rooted me, although the superuser is still there. I tried the one click method for 2.3.6 after it came out, as I am a total NOOB and was afraid to try it and screw things up. That doesn't work. I tried to unroot it using the same method. Also didn't work. The superuser is still there and denying permissions.
Soooooooo, I have decided to do the FXZ method in the in the noob/general forum. I'm still unclear and afraid about how to do it. Am I supposed to go through the first 11 steps, then do the "replace" step that is added as a note? Speaking of the added note. It says to "move all the the items in it to the stock fxz". The "stock FXZ" is what i downloaded and did in step 1-11, right? I have searched the forums and this was the best place I could see to ask. Sorry for my extreme NOOBness.
Thanks in advance for helping, or just taking the timpe to read my post!

Unzip the stock fxz and copy the extra files into it. Accept any error it may give you. The open rsd and click the "..." Button and find the fxc that you modified and then hook your phone up in Detroit and hit the start button. Should be golden after

As the title states, it worked. I downloaded the fxz, replaced the files, ran it, the re-rooted after everything came back up. Then I did the OTA rootkeeper procedure and now I am about to takt the ota. Will let you know if anything goes wrong after that. Thanks again for all the help and encouragement.

It depends if you're on Version 1.85. If so, yes, if you're on anything above 1.85, then no

You're in luck. Your phone is totally rootable and the bootloader can be unlocked. Sorry about my assumption earlier.
So assuming from the previous posts, I'm on 1.73
So I would use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167 to root?
I'm coming from an iPhone, this is my first android. If I want to install CM10, I would have to be on 1.85? I don't know anything.

You can root and unlock your bootloader. Make sure to not update your phone to 2.20 or you will not be able to root and unlock your bootloader.
I would try CleanROM out. Dev edition has a little bit of AOSP styling and that is what I am currently using.

So, being rooted, BL unlocked on 1.85, does CleanRom bring root back to my HOX or not really the case? Or I'm guessing 2.2x roms none have root?

All custom roms have root. It's the official stock roms that don't have root. Once you unlock the bootloader you can root a stock rom by pushing the root package to the phone via custom recovery.

You don't understand. If you install a custom rom it is already rooted. The root methods you see in the development section are for stock firmware.

I rooted today and it worked like a charm, but I do have one more nooby question.
What does a recovery do for me exactly? Does it help me prevent soft bricks? Or what. I know you can't prevent a hard brick, but I also know that generally speaking to get a hard brick you'd have to have done something really stupid (usually).
I just figured this would be the place to post this since a few of you told me to install TWRP, which is a recovery program, and I know there's also clockwork recovery out there, but yeah.
I just wonder what I need the recovery for.

First, check to see what's the current build version on your tab, if it's .26, then you need to do nvflash backup your bootloader (very important), will get back to this later. If you have version .30 you just go ahead and update to Jelly Bean. Just for your information, once you're on Jelly bean and if you want to root, you need to downgrade back to .30, root it then upgrade back to Jelly bean. OR you could UNLOCK your device (this will void your warantty) while on Jelly Bean, then root it. Read this carefully and make your decision.

just run the update and be happy.

Well, my experience in other forums (desire z), most of the times people suggested to root, so i just wanted to make it clear. Not that i think anyone cares or should care.

Ok, that i didnt know... previous to this tablet, all i've had is my htc phone, which is a pain in the arse to root, unlock, and well, basically, cant update if u have root, since it would brick, so i thought same applied here.
I will root at some point, cause i really like the freedom it gives you (root + unlock bootloader actully)
i knew that if i updated, id later have to downgrade it back in order to root, but just feel like trying official jb before getting into trying roms.
and btw, even though im .30, whats the problem with updating if in .26??
I thought if you do have .26 then you are a very lucky man. You could able to backup your bootloader and make your device brick safe.

well, thats a bummer, lol.
So, in any case, with the .30 version, is it safe to upgrade, or do i have the risk of getting into the same problem i stated in the link at post 1?
