Root Rooting from stock 2.2

[d.knight99]

Oh you've got an SLCD?

Right, yeah maybe not the best of ideas, sorry about that I assumed you had an AMOLED! Shouldn't be too much longer to wait though, I reckon they'll get it out soon.

Thanks for the message app tip Dan, that could have been a disaster!

not if you dont want to down grade your hboot
I dont want to work backwards and downgrade my hboot when i know someone will have a solution for the newer bootloaders

It's nothing to do with the bootloader. The rom will be *exactly* the same.

i know the rom will be the same,
I dont want to change my hboot when a root solution will be out for my current hboot.

Morning all

I am bored at work today so am going to be rooting my phone to Teppic's rooted stock ROM and I've got a couple of questions.

1. I already have a gold card but this is a separate 1gb card that I don't normally use in my phone. I am going to be formatting and creating partitions on my 4gb card that I use in my phone so would it be easier in the long run to make this into a GC too?

2. I am planning on using Unrevoked3 to install the new ROM...Is that right?

3. So to confirm I will be doing this, formatting SD card (maybe adding GC depending on 1) creating partition for APPS2SD, Downgrading from 2.2 to 2.1, using Unrevoked3 to install Teppic74's stock rooted ROM.

Have I missed anything?

Slightly nervous as first time but hacked all my old symbian phones and this seems easier so sure it will be fine. Just dont wanna brick my baby

If you plan to root your phone with Unrevoked3 you don't need a gold card.

Why to downgrade?

Sorry, my mistake, i've read wrong...

 

[teppic74]

That's about it, yes.

It won't harm to make all of your sdcards into goldcards, just remember you have to do the entire process for each one.

You should use unrevoked3 to root and install custom recovery, and then use custom recovery to install the ROM. I'd advise you do a full wipe (factory reset) in recovery first.

 

[teppic74]

One other thing: since you want A2SD+ you'll need to install the second ROM, which doesn't include a radio, so you'll need to flash one yourself. I'd recommend this one:

http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/radio/32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2.zip

Install it in custom recovery at the same time you install the ROM.

 

[jay_kay]

Right looks like I am getting there now. Managed to root it (I think) with Unrevoked3. Have installed ROM Manager from the market and am in the process of installing clockwork Mod Recovery.

I have put both the radio and new ROM (Teppic74) onto the SD card ready so I presume I can just flash it from there?

Also I have installed Titanium Backup but its saying something about not being rooted? Can't quite remember what it said and stuck in the Clockwork Mod install at the min. Can I use titanium backup with this ROM?

 

[teppic74]

You can install the rom and radio via custom recovery, you don't need rom manager.

If you're in custom recovery the root must have worked.

Ok will try that. Is ROM Manager a good app to use though? Seems to make things easier?

Figured out the Titanium backup problem. Needed to install BusyBox so just doing that now

Thanks for all your help on this Teppic, looking forward to trying your ROM shortly!

 

[jay_kay]

Its saying something about E: verification failed?

Do I need to format my SD and then retry?

 

[teppic74]

Did you install recovery with rom manager? It may have messed it up. You should be using the one that unrevoked3 installs, version 2.5.0.7.

Yep, Im in Clockwork Mod Recovery Now and it says v 2.5.0.7

Looks ok to me

E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid Argument)

Just had a thought, might be me being slightly dim! Should I rename the zip file to update?

 

[teppic74]

You don't need to rename the file, but you shouldn't be trying to apply update.zip. You need to select the option that says something like 'choose update file from sdcard'.

 

[jay_kay]

Just noticed something about signature and disabled it. Seems to be loading it now.

Will let you know once sorted.

 

[jay_kay]

Right installed the ROM & Radio and all looks ok. Had a worrying moment when it got stuck on a screen with a box with an arrow coming out of it to an android man but that went and then booted normally.

Think its working as now silent again but is there anyway to check?

In settings it says Baseband Version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

Edit: Ah so thats the Radio and the Software number matches the new version I installed too...Looks good to me!

 

[teppic74]

That was the radio flash taking place, it's normal.

Your software information should show 2.10.405.2. I haven't given my rom a stupid name or added any boot animations.

 

[jay_kay]

Mate if I could press Thanks 100 times I would...Seriously thanks for all your help.

Gonna head home now and partition my SD card to install apps2sd and then spend the evening putting all my crap back on

This ROM is just what I wanted to a massive thanks again!

 

[teppic74]

I'd recommend you install the powersaving modpack, it will make a noticeable difference to your battery life. And you're welcome.

 

[jay_kay]

Am going to install the add on packs as soon as I get home.
Fhfgftgf
I am still getting an error about signatures on E: whenever I do something within clockwork mod? Was doing it when I first installed tjjjhe Rom but I disabled verification and it worked ok. Now tried to partition SD within Rom manager and its done it again.

Is there something I need to do?

 

[teppic74]

Reinstall clockwordmod with unrevoked3.

 

[jay_kay]

I presume that means to just run unrevoked 3 again?

Would it be worth doing a data reset before doing this?

 

[teppic74]

Yes, run it again. A wipe isn't probably necessary but if you haven't put anything on there you may as well.

 

[jay_kay]

Just to update you it seems that it was ROM Manager that was causing the issues. When I boot into recovery normally it works perfectly. Uninstalled RM now.

Have installed your power mods, I presume I did it right, just added to SD card and installed via Clockwork recovery?

Will be a few beers coming your way Teppic, massive help!

 

[teppic74]

Yup - all the mods are installed the same way as the ROM itself. The powersaving mod does this:

When the screen is off, the CPU is fixed at 245MHz (lowest frequency)
When the screen is on, it'll go up to the maximum 1GHz, but drop to 245MHz when idle.
It'll generally use lower voltages, meaning it draws less power from the battery whatever it's doing.

Any beers always appreciated
