Root Questions Before Going to EB1

[bigshotproducer]

I see the extended instructions on XDA that have been linked here.

I also see an "All-In-One" post. I'm ready update my wife's phone, but is one way better than the other? I'm looking to put SC/Voodoo.

Any advice? thanks!

Nope I would just go with all in one. It is working great for many

 

[bigshotproducer]

Thanks!!

 

[davidnmegan6907]

Always glad to help

Um, my computer isn't seeming to recognize the phone via USB? Any thoughts? I haven't started anything yet except to try and put the new CWM onto SD card...but comp won't recognize it....eek!

 

[bigshotproducer]

Got it...never mind. Just rebooted phone with it connected to cpu...Lord today! lol

I just used the All in One package for mine and it works great! New CWM and root with EB01, took me all of 15 minutes with Odin!

I went all in one.. Worked great...but now I need the stock alarm clock back...anywhere I can get it?

We're running 2.4 Superclean. Thanks!

I would update to 2.6 and post in the XDA thread requesting the installer for the stock alarm clock. Adrenalyne can get that for you.

Thanks!

yup

yup

So I just want to make sure I understand. I'm on superclean 2.4, I still haven't installed clockwork so I need to ODIN clockwork, new version, then I can just flash the zip for 2.6?

Also, I was planning on resetting the battery stats once I get ODIN on there but it looks like that is unnecessary if I put 2.6 on there?

TIA!

you are on superclean and you dont have cwr installed?...................

Yeah, I've been ridiculously busy w other stuff so I just ODIN'd sc 2.4 and never got around to putting cwr on again. Just a part time noob here; found the time to get sc 2.4 on there but I ran out of time to do the cwr part.

Hoping to avoid a full data wipe again to update to 2.6, so I think if I'm right that I can ODIN the new cwr then flash 2.6 w cwr I can avoid having to re-download all my apps, etc.

Am I on the right track here?

Thanks for the quick response!

yeah you can just push recovery and then flash the newer superclean w/o a data wipe...i actually didnt know someone made an odin version of superclean...seems kinda bizarre that anyone would do that tbh

Thank you sir. I used this guide, [EB01 WALKTHROUGHS] Rooting, Clockwork, Voodoo, Stock and Custom ROM, Battery, etc - xda-developers.

I was wayyyy behind, was still on a superclean DL01 actually, so this seemed a lot easier than flashing to dl09 just to be able to flash to eb01. I dislike the complete data wiping that I get from ODIN, but A) this is similar to how I flashed ROMs for my Omnia so there's a certain comfort level and B) it seems to be less likely I make a mistake using this method.

Just trying to get this done quickly w/o bricking this thing, if you need help w a golf swing or a March Madness pool that's more my strong suit.

Thanks again for your help.

Yeah one of the good folks at Android Central made Odin packages for pretty much all the EB01 ROMs. I'm kind of torn - on the one hand he made it easy for everybody, on the other hand there's a watershed of threads asking for really basic tech support because you really don't have to know *anything* to get root/froyo/superclean anymore.

IMO Clockwork is safer than Odin, but there is more room for small mistakes in CWM that a lot of people don't know how to troubleshoot. Odin is all or nothing. I've never actually heard of an Odin brick directly, but rumors persist. And an Odin brick is a true brick.

All sounds about right to me. I do appreciate the help, more like a self confidence boost, as I'd much rather ask about something easy, ie the cwr thing above, than be crying on irc because my phone is a brick.

I also don't want to wait for Sammy to drop me froyo, let alone 2.3. I want my phone to be all it can be but I just can't dedicate the time to be self sufficient. If that means I stay stock so be it, but thanks to yall being helpful I am getting so much more out of my phone.
