2.2.1* across the board. Fixt.

no not really I have rooted 2.2.1 with z4root on a few phones

 

[EvolutionMr]

when ever i type in su in adb shell it says permission not granted.. any help?

 

[undacova]

is your phone rooted? if so open super user and see if you might have denied terminal emulator root the first time it asked...

ok here is something weird. i flashed the recovery using the terminal emulator method and everything worked great for awhile...then i discovered all the other roms available for the optimus and i wanted to try them out so just did a nand backup of the one i was using so i could just restore it and i wouldnt have to go through all the setup shit and that worked for a day or so...but today i tried to do a nand restore and the only thing that happens is this "Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!" i even tried to just reflash the recovery and it is stilling happening. what the hell does that mean and how do i fix it???!!!

Are you using Joneidys old recovery?

 

[p-bOt]

yeah

 

[undacova]

Backup isn't working right with this recovery. Try this one: http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/330813-all-one-recovery-thread.html

 

[undacova]

Your old backup still might not install, but new ones you make certainly will...

 

[p-bOt]

alright thanks ill try that and see how it goes

 

[p-bOt]

works like a charm

Ok I got adb shell to work an I got the # sign. Once I enter the first command and hit enter the output it gives me is the same as the input? Is this ok?
And the second command says No such file or directory?
