Root [BATCH] Froyo 2.2.1 Automator

[savoxis]

[BETA 5]​

I created a batch file to automate http://androidforums.com/ally-all-things-root/263285-guide-froyo-2-2-1-root-users.html by Trident. It just goes thru the steps almost identically. Run the batch as administrator (right click run as admin)
Works on either XP or Vista/7 32 and 64 Bit



BETA 5



I dont have an ally handy. This hasn't been tested. But in theory it will work, as soon as I have some confirmations I will make changes necessary.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU SHOULD STILL KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING ALTHOUGH I HAVE TESTED AND THIS
WILL NOT BRICK YOUR DEVICE. (Unless you do someting really weird)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To use:

1. Download the FROYO.zip package
2. EXTRACT the package (extracting to C:\ would probably be the best idea)
3. Run Froyo.bat as an Administrator
4. Follow the steps provided on screen

[BETA 5] Changelog:

• Fixed all known issues from Alpha2
• Tested good, cept for some driver issues (which was entirely my PC)

[ALPHA 2] Changelog:

• Added a check after each driver install, so users can try to install drivers again in the event they are getting the dreaded "device not found" errors
• Added instructions to install ADB and FASTBOOT drivers manually
• Added more instructions to the LG Utilities information
• Added COLORS
• Added cool ascii art
• Made it a little more newbie friendly by use of DESCRIPTIVE WORDS

So this gets the phone ready for froyo and roots it and saves a crap load of steps? Or?

 

[jayfer1]

Is the zip having an issue? I try to extract and I get the following...

! C:\Users\jayfer1\Desktop\froyo.zip: Unexpected end of archive

Looking forward to this. =)

 

[savoxis]

EDITEDIT:

[Biotic]

I'm curious to try froyo but I don't wanna brick another ally doen it o.0

 

[seen03]

That is a brilliant idea!!!! You do great work man!!!

*One non-tech/trblshooting question*
Are you planning or working on a, "Windows XP" version in the future? (I understand that its easier to stick with one PC OS) ....just curious on how excited to get....lol

Thanks again for bringing this to the community!

I have read about some people having problems when using windows 7 64bit and using Trident's manual install method. Does 32bit vs. 64bit matter for froyo.bat?

 

[Valkerie]

I used Win7 Pro for Trident's guide and had no issues.

The only problem I had was with the driver in step 4. The one posted in Ally IRC worked fine though.

 

[savoxis]

This batch should work fine on 64 bit, I included the 64x ADB drivers in \DRIVERS\ you will need to manually install the adb interface drivers after pluggin in the phone no matter 32 or 64


For XP I dont have a machine to test with and dont wanna install it. If someone has run thru tridents guide on xp please contact me with the differences you had to make I can adapt the batch to work with it.

You left out the key information he was asking about though. 32-bit or 64-bit?

 

[blay]

So if this does prove to be a viable method, will there be a bit of a guide written on usage?

 

[Valkerie]

That I did. I forgot to say it was x64.

Updated op

 

[socobandit]

If I didn't already have mine done, I would definitely try this! Awesome work!

 

[kninetimmy]

hey will this work on a vm of windows seven? i dont have access to windows

 

[savoxis]

hey will this work on a vm of windows seven? i dont have access to windows

I have no idea... If adb and fastboot work it may.

 

[bamaredwingsfan]

I shall try the old ladys phone tonight with this

I don't know why it wouldn't.

 

[Viper05]

I will give this a try in a little bit. I have an Ally that I am sending back to Verizon because its MEID got wiped, but aside from that it functions fine for wifi. It would at least be some kind of test.

The only problem I had was with the driver in step 4. The one posted in Ally IRC worked fine though.

I feel like a dummy having to ask this, but what/where is "ally IRC"? I've seen references to it but dont know what it is or where to find it!

 

[jwish]

Ally IRC is Internet Relay Chat where the developers and users chat online (usually about telling everone to read the guide but also about sex). You can get to it here wsIrc - WEB IRC

 

[savoxis]

IIRC freenode banned WSIRC, try this one
freenode Web IRC (qwebirc)
