[G2 and Desire Z General] Tomb77:
I really appreciate the responses guys as I have been slammed lately and not able to keep up in the know. To clarify, the main reason for root is battery life and cache cleaner ng(auto cleaning). Also having a backup is great in case they hose it up. We use an older stable version of virtuous sense, which everyone likes the eye candy right.

I'm going to look into this more with all that has been said. I hope it's user error. Will post results.

Thanks again
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tomb77:
Ok so I got a phone back that was not rooted yet, probably received it about two months back. I rooted it with no issues 20 mins ago. I tried the other three phones again and no luck.

xsteven77x	"Just got a BRAND NEW g2 from tmobile yesterday and all the traditional methods worked so I'm thinking its something on your end..."

Hey xsteven77x, where did you get your phone from. I get all mine through business carel. I guess it could depend if it was from the store or what not and more so what stock since this is a very new thing for me and I have dwelt with quite a few of them. Let us know. thank you

I will be trying the rest that I have and report back.

Am I missing something? Ive not been to the site much lately but is there something wrong with the Gfree way of rooting? When i rooted mine and my wife's G2 I was told NOT to use the Visionary method back in Dec. & Jan.!

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong.. but just follow this guide, I've used it to root many phones around me for people :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] Tomb77:
I don't know, I always used this method many times as it says in the OP so I don't know if that's the issue here. I use this method on another G2 a couple hours ago and it worked as I said in a couple posts back. I don't know who told you you couldn't use the visionary method that unforgiven posted but they were wrong unless they know of a reason in the newer devices or something like that.

I will try Gfree and see if that works. Thank you for the idea.

Edit: Never mind. Got it. will try now
[G2 and Desire Z General] PanCubano:
Just one thing before you try the gfree method (warning: not bashing any method from here on out) I'd recommend following the first gfree method using the -f switch. I tried with the ADB less method and could not get it to work. (It would not "stick"/properly flash partition 7/have any effect) until I downloaded gfreev2 from the original method and ran ./gfree -7 which then worked for me.

Don't forget gfree_verify.zip when you're done!!

It seems the 'End of days' are coming for rooting Android phones.

This is a link for a post in the Android general section:

Android rooting days are coming to an end?

Which, the more I think about it.. Really the only reason why I would be rooted, is to switch roms, for customizability. but, if I find a rom that has no issues, all I do is download a launcher i like, and I tend to use it everyday without realizing.

I mean, (not to sound stupid) but the power apps im using now on a daily basis doesn't require root anyway. Matter of fact, It's going to come to a point that if you root your phone, you wont get services you'll get otherwise.

don't get me wrong though... i do believe in choice, and I feel we shouldn't get penalized for rooting anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skmpowdjy:
I received my phone in early January and was able to root it using gfree 0.5; the method on the Wiki. However, my friend got his phone a few weeks later and I was unable to root it using the same method. I was able to root successfully using the method on CyanogenMod's Wiki, however. I think certain phones may have some sort of slight hardware tweak that prevents certain rooting methods, but I'm not sure.

Started testing it today. Being a pc Firefox fan, this really has a lot of potential.

Add-on's are one of the best features of Firefox, and to have that functionality on the mobile version is really appealing.

I haven't tried many other alternate browsers, so I don't know what level of add-on type of functionality the other popular ones have, but...

Syncing to the pc is also a real plus.

I'm sure it will only get better, with any video-related shortcomings being addressed in the future.

I heard the beta was slow/battery hog, etc... This release seems pretty fast/stable, so far.

any light shed upon this will be greatly apreciated
[Atrix 4G General] rjohnstone:
Nope... you need a WiFi connection.

Here's the kicker.

You only need WiFi just long enough to get the download started. It will complete the download over the cell network if it loses the WiFi connection.
[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
I was driving somewhere today when I was notified of the update. The update downloaded and installed successfully over 3G while I was driving.

I think the WiFi requirement has more to do with data charges and connection stability than any technical restrictions.
[Atrix 4G General] jpinoy:
That is correct, you do not need to be on Wi-fi, as I just got the notification for the update and I'm only on 3G...

Update: My wife got the notification as well, while on 3G, but when she went to dl it, it wouldn't until she connected to Wi-Fi.. so... you might get lucky and not need wi-fi connection...

I'm trying to flash CWM recovery and only see Galaxy Tab for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.

For Canadian people (I'm on Rogers), do I assume that I use the AT&T one as it is the only GSM option?. Thanks!.

Also, does this mean that AT&T roms will work fine for Canadian people on Rogers?. thanks.

nothing? I also meant to clarify by saying the ATT one is the only compatible GSM option for Rogers Wireless users.

ATT is Rogers/Telus/Bell, Tmobile is Wind/Mobilicity and Verizon is CDMA.

ie. I had a Motorola Atrix and they said not to flash it if you were on Rogers....

Because of kernel differences.

I would go flash richardtrip's kernel. Its compatible with your tablet and it comes with CWM

[Galaxy S I9000 General] omnikai:
Hi all,

I apologize for what must be a noobish question, but I've installed the latest 2.3 stock rom with the bootloader (because I was coming from 2.2). Unfortunately I'm unable to revert to any 2.2 roms now (either stock or from the Rom Kitchen). I get a strange blue message that flashes on the screen (only shows partial "reboot" word). Then the phone reboots and takes me back into 2.3 as if I did a factory reset.

So how do I revert my bootloader so that I can install 2.2 roms again?

Thanks!

Edit: To clarify, I've use Clockwork Recovery to flash a 2.2 Rom Kitchen rom and also Odin to flash a stock 2.2 PDA image, both just rebooted the phone back into 2.3.

Edit 2: In the off-chance I'm wrong about the bootloader being the problem, can someone point me to a 2.2 stock rom (or near-stock custom rom) that includes an appropriate modem/csc? Thanks!

Edit 3: Just tried flashing a 2.3 rom kitchen rom in Clockwork - same problem. Guess it's not the bootloader, but I'm stumped now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shayp:
hey.. as i know.. u need to flash a stock firmware of 2.2.1 or 2.2.. with odin..not just pda, also pit and with re-partion.

Ok first off I have to say that this site is great I have found alot of helpfull and some confusing topics here lol. the other day I downloaded the cyanogen mod 7 and everything is working perfectly on my htc evo sprint

my only problem I noticed is that I dont know how to revert back to The HTC Sense ui. My other question is that I noticed alot of different roms on here and some I have tried installing but some wont work for me and some freeze when i attempt to reboot. Can anyone help me out please!!!
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
To revert back to Sense from Cyanogen, you'll have to reflash the ROM that came stock on your device. You should be able to find this in the forum for your device (EVO).

There are many different ROMs available here, some will work for you and some you may experience difficulty with. Most Devs usually post step-by-step instructions for installing their ROMs in the Opening Post (OP) of the thread. If you follow these you'll usually be fine, and you can always flash back to stock and start again if you get into trouble.

Good luck, and welcome to XDA :)
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Did you do a nandroid backup first? If not, you should always do one before flashing. If you did, just restore through your recovery & you'll be back where you were before.

If CM7 is functional but you just don't like it, I would go ahead and do a nandroid backup anyway, so if anything messes up you'll at least have something working you can restore.

If you want something like stock, I would suggest the Sprint Lover's Rom. Myn's Warm 2.2 would also be good, or you could try out Warm Z which is the new version of Sense. I'm assuming you like Sense as a UI & as a launcher?

I've heard great things about Mikfroyo as well. If you're new to rooting/flashing, I would suggest using a stable Rom instead of an experimental one - at least until you get the hang of it.

If you're having trouble flashing ROMs, try switching to Amon Ra recovery (I assume you're using clockwork) and try flashing again. You can do this through ROM Manager (it came with CM7). Just choose "flash alternate recovery".

Before rooting, modifying, and flashing ROMs, you're supposed to have a clear understanding of it all. I suggest reading the stickies in the Evo forums & any guides you can find. Read everything. Seriously.

I have an Evo as well, so if you need anything, I'm here. Just ask. If you need some guidance & handholding, send me a pm & I'll walk you through everything. Just be sure to educate yourself. There's no such thing as knowing too much when it comes to modifying your phone.

EDIT: If the phone gets stuck on the splash screen after flashing a Rom, it's most likely because you didn't wipe properly. Be sure to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik cache.

I have searched high and low, and have found many keyword similar issues, but none that address the issue I am having.

Sprint pushed out froyo to my Epic last week, and that is largely fine, however, there was apparently a change made to the stock Email app that I use for connection to my corporate email, which is Zimbra, for better or worse.

Since the update, the stock email client looks like it is using HTML for formatting, as messages sent from my phone are littered with line break tags (br).

Does anyone know a setting to simply have the stock email client send plaintext, rather than HTML?

I am well aware of alternate email clients, and may wind up switching back to touchdown, but I am trying really hard to make the stock client work successfully. It seems to me that disabling HTML for outgoing messages should be something fairly simple, and hopefully something I am just overlooking.
