When you power off your phone and start up in hboot (volume down + power) what is listed?

Select recovery and list what you see here.

Once we get some info we can get you going.

hey granite can you please give me a hand here please? I sucessfully rooted the phone and have s-off now but im not sure what tools to use or what to do next, I was gonna use rom manager for nandroid but I have read horror stories about it and I dont wanna take any chances. Can you help me out, kernel or rom next. I wanna just have something going, so far everything is running smooth but I dont know where to go next. Thanks!

another thing that I have just noticed is that my phone will NOT work (VOL. DOWN + POWER), if i try that it boots normally. wtf?

 

[350zx6r]

Im sorry I will take it back, now it works. I had to do a battery pull. This was so strange.

I am new at rooting and just successful rooted gingerbread. My question is do I just leave the .zip files that I put on my sd card for the purpose of rooting and recovery or do I need to remove them?

do not use rom manager it is way to buggy. do everything manually in recovery. please read the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/395962-guide-rooting-gingerbread-revolutionary.html sticky. it has all the tools to help you understand the rooting world.

again you can delete those. they are not neede. also once you flash a rom then you can toss the zip out as well. i only keep one just in case.

ok so are you at the step where you need to flash the su file? if not then what file are you trying to flash?

 

[badboy4u]

i am new to this so bear with me.i want to root my phone and have su.the problem is that i need the file that will do that for me and instruction on how to extract and install it and where to install it on my phone.

 

[Timeless117]

So I rooted my phone just fine. But then like 2 days later I restart my phone and it turns back on and says "system uid inconsistent"
I looked around online and somebody said that by fixing the permissions in the recovery mode worked for them. Not for me. So I had to restore my phone from before I rooted and redo everything.
What does that mean when it was flashing "system uid inconsistent"? And is there a way if it happens again that I can fix it without restoring it and doing it over?

do you have recovery? press and hold power+vol down this will get you to hboot. select recovery from there. do you have it ? if you do then go here:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/395962-guide-rooting-gingerbread-revolutionary.html and go to the "before rooting" section and download the su file. transfer the file via the usb cable to the card. then proceed to step 10 and go from there.

if you do not have recovery then go to the switching recovery section of the guide to get a recovery so that you can flash the su file.

also you do not need to extract the su file if you have already. just leave it zipped.

 

[badboy4u]

how do i put the su file on the root of my sdcard?

what recovery do you have?

 

[badboy4u]

i just want to thank everyone for their help....i now have root access...yeah!!!!

 

[ocnbrze]

i just want to thank everyone for their help....i now have root access...yeah!!!!

nice glad you figure it out. congrats on being rooted. now flash away.

I searched around and can't find the info I'm looking for. My question is, I did a nandroid backup when I did the root on my phone, should I do another one now that I have my phone setup the way I want it? Another question I have is am I able to have more than one nandroid backup on my phone and if so is it possible for this backup to save all my apps and settings?

 

[ocnbrze]

ok so a nandorid backup is a complete snapshot of your phone. it saves everything from your phone settings to your apps among other things. and it is a good idea to make a nandroid backup when you have your phone setup they way you want it. you can have as many nandroid backups as your card can hold. keep in mind they do take up some space. you can keep some of them on your pc. i only keep two nandroids on my card.

 

[TADitto]

So I followed all of the steps in the rooting process and recovery and then switching recoveries and have another question. My question is can I remove the folders on my sd card from the clockworkmod recovery since I switched to the amon ra recovery? And thank you all for all your help with us noobs.

 

[9to5cynic]

Yep, once you're done with clockwork, you're done with clockwork. Amon ra files are strictly for amon ra (though, you might want to make sure amon ra has your working wimax keys before deleting all your clockwork nandroids)

 

[TooSense]

just a question when i flash a rom do i just move it to my sd card and then go into recovery and select it from choose a zip file or something?
