[Completed] [Q] lost root - XDA Assist

Sorry to post this again somebody did reply but for some reason i cannot find their response! Im at my wits end so i'll post again and hopefully somebody will be able to help. I rooted my lg g3 and installed chupa chups 5.0 rom. I then tried to change the bootloader animation and consequently all root apps stopped working. Then went into super su and it wouldnt let me update the binary and says there is no root access. I now have no twrp recovery either. Phone software settings still saying im running chupa chups 5.0 and phone is working fine albeit without rooted apps. I really dont know what my options are so im hoping somebody on xda will be able to point me in the right direction as i dont want to end up bricking my new phone!

Hi,
Your device section is here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681793
You can ask for help in the Q&A section. Also, if you read through the stickied threads at the top of the general and Q&A sections, most "how to's", guides and info threads will be there.
If you have an issue specific to a rom you flash, Asking in the rom thread is the best option.
Good luck!

Oh, depending on what carrier or model number you have, there could be a specific section for that too. But you didn't say.

Android Noob needs help with rooting

hello all, I have a relatively new Samsung Captivate that is now running Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM. I bought it from someone who had put Gingerbread on it for me.
I want to get it rooted but I have no idea what I'm doing so I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKH3-CL461307
baseband version: I897UCKH3
I hope I have not made a redundant post, I've seen other posts but none of them seem to pertain to a Captivate with 2.3.4 Gingerbread.

Hey kbolt,

Thank you for the quick reply, Bushido. I realised that the latest post in the link is from last year, and after skimming through it (i'll do a proper read through when i have time) I don't know if it's speaking directly to my problem. Or have I missed something?

Would this process work for my situation?
I'm not yet allowed to post links so could you just look at the following website please:

Of course, I'm asking for all this help because I am so very afraid of bricking this phone.

Hey kbolt,
you are right - the Samsung Captivate officially got Gingerbread 2.3.4 in the end of august 2011. All the root-versions I found are only approved with froyo. Have a look at this page and the links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I897
One thing you could do is flash a custom rom, which is already rooted i.e.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238551
When something should go wrong, you can flash back the stock rom:

Go to the "all in one" thread and it has all the info to root properly... They have very detailed instructions.
Just dont do anything thats NOT in the skyrocket section and a trusted source..
Just make sure you do a backup with clockwork recovery mod before you start flashing things and if you brick your phone it takes 4 easy steps to get back..
ICS is pretty stable for not even being officially released yet but still not as stable as some gingerbread roms.

BTW you have the skyrocket not the normal GS2 right?? dont want to confuse the 2 because flashing a GS2 rom will brick your phone

Yes, that is the correct device for these subforums. Just read the all-in-one thread and the threads that it links to -- no matter how experienced you are it's always a good idea to read the stickies, wikis, and how-to's for a new device.

Noob question about flashing custom rom

Hello guys, so i am new to the atrix 2 and new to the motorola phones in general. My question is what do i need to install a custom rom? So far i rooted my phone and that's it. Whats the next step? And also do i need to unlock bootloaders in order to flesh custom roms? Thank you in advance.
Don't rush into flashing roms, without understanding a few things. Everything is available in this forum, so search and read. Flashing without reading may brick ur device
Not trying to sound like an ass but if i knew what to do when it comes flashing a rom on atrix 2 i wouldn't post this topic. I searched the forums and on youtube but there is no step by step explanation. On the forums seems like different people have different methods for flashing and some say they method works and some say it dont. So if somebody have simple step by step explanation please post. I really did search but i am confused and dont want to brick my phone. Thank you

Also not to sound like an ass, but if you've truly searched and read this forum and you're STILL confused then you probably shouldn't do it right now anyway. I only say this because there is only one way to flash the vast majority of the ROMs here (the exceptions being stock ROMs & in some cases, MIUI). If you haven't read enough to know that much then you just haven't read enough. Keep reading/searching. It's to your benefit to do so and you'll find everything you need to know in the process. :thumbup:

Here's a little hint for you. Do you see that thread in the stickies named "[HELP THREAD] Any Question Answered Here (NØØB Friendly)"? Wanna bet this question has been asked, and answered ad nauseum in there? :sly:

[Completed] textnow,textfree...force close,cant make calls etc.

hello guys new to this thread but trust me i've been looking and reading and cant find anything to do with my problem so...
anyway some background im running the latest twrp and cromi-x 5.4 deodex on the tf700 and im also on the latest firmware.
so heres my problem,I use textnow and textfree alot,so much so that I buy minutes on a monthly basis,well once I unlocked and installed this rom it seems I cant make calls anymore on textnow-which I have about 4000 minutes left on...but heres the thing,when I open rom toolbox pro and tick the app manager tab and click textnow icon,I notice that in permissions the "able to make outgoing and recieve incoming calls" permission isnt allowed...Im not really that technical but I tried what i could as far as Running a "fix permissions" script for the app itself and i also ran one system wide....I wish i could get a reply from someone who knows how to fix this situation because its really bugging me and i dont want to revert back to stock cause that sucks and Crombi-KK doesnt have the Xloud or Noozoxide mods which I actually do appreciate so much.
also am i supposed to know that browser2ram is running like in supersu or does it run in the background default? because i definitely do not get any notification from supersu that its even running( no grant notifications or anything)

Hi there! And welcome to XDA. ?
I'm afraid you're asking very ROM specific questions. And you also know what I would suggest off the bat.....flash stock and see if it works.
This is the ROM thread I believe you are using. The guys in that thread know the device better than anyone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492&page=594
Now I see you don't have the 10 post minimum to ask your questions in a dev section forum, so my advice is to browse through the tf700 section and post some meaningful and constructive posts and/or comments on threads that interest you in the General and Q&A sections. Once you have 10 posts....you're good to go to post in the ROM thread. Just don't post anything to get your 10 post count though, or you will probably have them deleted by moderator.
Here's the tf700 section...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf700
Good luck!
---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------
Perhaps post a question about browser to ram in Q&A....if you don't see any other threads on it first. If so, ask there.
A good way to get a couple posts in.
---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------
Also searched and found an older thread, but has some browser to ram info directly related to your device.

im sorry how do i do that...flash stock,can i still keep the sound mods like xloud,noozoxide?
I found a complete guide for your device. Scroll down through the opening post and there's a return to stock section. This guide has a LOT of great how to's!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
As far as the mods go, you'd need to root again after returning to stock and see if the mods work with stock. If not, the guide covers flashing ROMs....you'd have to flash whatever is necessary to run the mods.

[Completed] want to learn how to flash galaxy 3 kernel

hi, could someone please point me towards a thread where it is explained how to use odin to flash the kernel on the galaxy 3?
i'm trying to follow the instructions for flashing CyanogenMod 7.2 (Alpha9 - MTD) as found on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309390
i already have CyanogenMod 7.2 Alpha9 on my phone. i just can't figure out how to use odin to flash the kernel so i can then update to the MTD version. everything i've tried either does nothing or ends up with a bricked phone and i have to start over again. what version of odin should i be using? should i be using PDA or one package mode? should i be using the OPS file?
please direct me to a thread and not just an area of the site. i know what bits to look in, and i can't find the information i need. i can't ask in the CyanogenMod 7.2 (Alpha9 - MTD) thread because my post count isn't high enough to post in that bit of the forum.
Hi!
Normally we only link members to threads here....but before I worry about that, I should simply tell you that kernels from the development sections generally get flashed from your custom recovery. Not with Odin.
If I understand what you are saying, that's your problem.
---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------
In other words....please carefully read the opening posts of anything you want to flash. Instructions for flashing are almost always listed there.
---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------
OK, I see it does have a Odin flashable kernel. My mistake.
I also see you already asked about it in the Q&A section....which is exactly what I was about to advise you to do.
You will have to patient and wait for an answer there.
Also, you can look around and comment or ask questions ....making constructive posts. After 10 posts, you can post in the ROM thread also.
Good luck!
thanks, didn't mean to be impatient, but i thought maybe my original post was asking people to recover old ground, and that a request to be directed to the relevant thread would be more appropriate.
if there's a version of this kernel that is flashable from recovery, a link to that would be better yet, as i'm getting along fine with CWM recovery, whereas i'm finding odin to be confusing and temperamental.
I'm afraid I can't help further. You've found where to look and post , and that is what we do here on Assist. Nothing more I'm afraid. ?
cool, thanks for your help!
i've realised that the problem i had all along was that the zip archive containing the cyanogenmod 7 MTD version update was corrupt. i've re-downloaded that and now have the MTD version running.
