If I can figure out what is causing the SDCard to not mount in CWM, we can probably root ED2 fairly easily (as well as get a whole bunch of other stuff). Unfortunately, it's slow going trying to get it to work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ZeppelinJ0:
Any way to help out? I know some stuff, but probably not the stuff you know but maybe I can make the stuff I know the stuff you know then we can do stuff.

Is Samsung using the same kernel-level root lockout they used on SGS2?
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Purchased a Charge at lunch. Stopped the dude at Costco from installing the OTA update. First thing I did was root it following the instructions linked to Android Police.

Took less than 5 minutes. EASIEST root I've done on 7 different android devices.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
+1 got mine today and it was the easiest root ever. Quick question though now that it is rooted could I do the update and still keep the root since it says it's permanent? Also I want to restore some apps and data with tibu from my captivate but don't know if it is compatible. If anyone knows if it is safe please let me know, thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
NOOOOOOO!!!!! :D

Stay away from that update. It will break your root and there's not a working root for ED2 yet.

It's only permanent in that a reboot doesn't lose it for you. A temp root only lasts until you reboot, this one is persistent. Flashing the OTA will overwrite the root and there's something about the OTA that prevents the current method from working.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
Alright I figured what about the restoring of apps from my cappy
[Verizon Droid Charge] SirVilhelm:
Why stab at the TB? Mine gets 14hrs on charge, how is that bad?
[Verizon Droid Charge] belacs1:
I tried this hoping it would go as smoothly as it has for others but unfortunately it didnt work.

after i run gingerbreak it does not complete (attached screen shot). I left it over night as some said it takes a few minutes but it never completed the process. I rebooted the phone and tried again, stops at the same place.

any ideas?

Did you add the extra step after adb shell?

[Verizon Droid Charge] juttschallenger:
So I just got the charge and looking to root but I'm connected to any pc the driver will not load and will not pickup the SD card. Tried different SD cards and different computers. Even formatted to fat32 to be sure. Is anyone else having this problem?

Any help would be great. I would like to keep this phone but not if I can't get it to connect.

Thanks.

Gingersnap??

http://forum.androidcentral.com/cha...harge-5-19-11-windows-mac-now-gingersnap.html

So... I read this on androidcentral and it's telling me "NOW WITH GINERSNAP!" updated on 05/19/11. I'm afraid to get the OTA (ED2) and try this "gingersnap".

Is "gingersnap" a replacement for the "gingerbreak"? Is anyone willing to try this method on the ED2 and confirm? If this was a stupid question please feel free to yell at me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
Make sure USB Debugging is not enabled. When you plug the phone in with it disabled, a virtual CD drive will mount and there is a Samsung installer on it. After running the installer, activate debugging and connect the phone again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
Gingersnap is a 1-click root for the Charge, but it still will not work on ED2. I'm in the process of rolling everything back on my phone since I need to exchange it for a non-root reason.

Are Samsung updates ever safe?

I read Gingerbreak will not work on an ED2 phone, but will ED2 unroot a Gingerbroke phone? Once I'm rooted is it safe to take the Samsung updates or will they take root away?

My DC arrives this morning and I'm planning my strategy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Zeek215:
I'm pretty sure the current ED2 update will remove root.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
Generally speaking, you should never accept an OTA, regardless of manufacturer, until a developer has torn it apart and analyzed what it does. 99% of the time root level access is removed.

Are you sure that you're not reading "Baseband Version"?

Under "Baseband Version" mine says:

i510.06 V.ED1

SCH-I510.ED1

But under "Build number" it says:

SCH-I510.ED2

I only ask because the format of the serial you listed is not the same as is presented under "Build number"

I also can't root the phone, and assume that one lists what was on the phone to begin with while the other lists what is currently on the phone. Ne?

Brickd

I think i might have bricked the thing... :O

I did it wrong I think, I was using odin and tried to flash using T959UVJFD.tar and s1_odin_20100512.pit, placing update.zip in root. I checked the box "re-partition". Odin got done with that first bar but then said failed. I then unplugged it. I know, i F'ed up :(

Now it wont turn on, the screen does nothing, I tried a few different combos, nothin. If I plug it in the buttons on the bottom will light up and blink off periodically.

Dammit I just got this yesterday, I thought I knew what I was doing..

So is this thing perma-bricked? Should I go get another phone today?

Edit: Combos I tried: Hold both volumes and power, then plug usb w/ Odin running. Hold only down volume and plug in w/ Odin. Also seperatly tried inserting the battery after these combos.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chaoscentral:
Why in god's name did you try flashing a GSM Galaxy S firmware on an LTE device? It's most likely FUBAR at this point.
[Verizon Droid Charge] s44:
Are you on drugs? You tried to flash an Odin package for the Vibrant, with a partition file? How on earth did you think that made any sense whatsoever!?

If your disaster didn't blow away the secondary bootloader (and it probably did), a jig and a full Odin package (for the Charge!) might be able to save you. But we don't have a full Odin package yet, only homemade partials, and likely won't unless somebody at Samsung/Verizon leaks one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
You are bricked. Nothing we can do if you flash another phones firmware with the pit file and re-partition.
[Verizon Droid Charge] belacs1:
You are right, I noticed this after i was going back through to se what I might have missed. I was scrolling down the "about" screen and saw ed1 and didnt finish scrolling down, thought it was ok. I used the Odin process that was posted and it worked like a charm. need to change boot.prop still so the notification for the update will go away. Thnaks for all the help guys!

Hey, just to let yall know, after successfully bricking my phone (yay success :(), I went back to Verizon and basically told em that I woke up this morning and the thing wouldn't turn on. Gave me a free replacement. Hope they don't shut my phone off later :confused:

I'll make another attempt at it with the same files later, Dur-Hur.

[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
agreed....you brick the phone by doing stupid ****? eat the cost and be a man

its assholes who brick their phones and warranty them that lead to moto/htc others locking down their devices and hurting those in the root community who arent doing lame **** like that

my advice? leave your phone stock and dont show your face around here anymore...thanks

Quoted For True. I totally F'ed up my TB, and instead of returning it I bought a Charge (for full retail/off contract price).

I really hope all the other Android phone manufactures don't start to follow suit with Motorola and HTC because people keep doing stuff like this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
thats what i like to hear (well not that u bricked ur phone)...we all have to take responsiblity for our actions :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] skuzz:
Former handset engineer here. I don't like to hear that angle. The engineers that design the handsets shouldn't lock them, should put them in a recoverable state, and should make the hardware impossible to destroy by end-users. They should also provide tools to recover to a factory state. It's not hard to do if you know how to do your job right and actually give a crap about your customers.

It's the handset manufacturers fault for making phones that are locked down and easily brickable, not the end-users trying to retain some semblance of freedom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
most of us agree that the phones should be easily unlockable and the tools for restoring them available

that said, we know they arent...so going into that you know there is significant risk in rooting and modding your phones....this voids your warranty from verizon..its fact

so if you then warranty a bricked phone...guess what?...you just committed fraud...and justify what htc/moto and other oems are doing

like it or not, be a man and eat the cost
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Thank you for doing the right thing and not just playing dumb. :)

Honestly, most smartphones today are nearly un-brickable. They nearly all have modes you can boot into as a failsafe to reflash them. The only problem is that getting your hands on the recovery package/image is hard to do. I've had several situations where my phones have been in a completely un-usable state, and was able to restore them. The only way you can really brick devices anymore are to have a power failure during flashing (or loose connectivity between pc/device), or by flashing another phones firmware.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidmark:
Happily, HTC announced today they will not be locking bootloaders in the future.

thats the best guide, the other one with the same title is not very detailed
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellisz:
I had an issue last night trying to flash CWR. It kept failing in Odin. The phone would boot back up afterwards though. I then tried to Odin the Humble all in one directly and it started and failed in the middle. After trying to boot, I got an odd picture with an arrow pointing to another picture. I was scared then

I then did the EE4 restore and imuts pit install with the battery in the phone and got that to load. Did I almost brick for real? I want to root it but am a little scared. Never had that happen before.

I should be able to odin CWR and then flash the kernel correct?
[Verizon Droid Charge] DaleV:
Nitsuj, so glad you put it in about voiding your warranty with Verizon, after talking with Samsung tech support about the Charge and their other devices their rep told me, and his supervisor confirmed, rooting or Modding your device does not void your Samsung warranty. So after talking with Verizon about that they also confirmed it does not void your manufacturers warranty, only Verizon's willingness to facilitate the process. Anyone who truly bricks their Samsung device can contact Samsung support, contact info available at samsung.com, and send it in for repairs. There are honest ways to get help, just do your research first.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
Frankly I think its hillarious to see discussions of morals and ethics in an internet forum dedicated to completely modifying and getting the most out of the hardware you purchased. Yeah yeah yeah...contracts, EULA's, and all that feel good morality "I'm not committing fraud" BS.....I'm not buying it because this is not a relationship. I'm not getting into a personal life long relationship with my carrier or phone. Its a piece of hardware that I purchased and if the companies have a way to get it replaced you can bet your butt I would. If you think for one second that any of these companies are making any decisions based on morals or "being treated like they want to be treated" you got another thing coming.

I am not condoning fraud, but I'm also not going to put a business relationship with a friggin' cell phone carrier/manufacturer on the same.level as anything resembling my own moral compass. So before you go labeling me a crook, think again, far from it. I just have no problem taking an opportunistic approach to dealing with big business because I know first hand they will take advantage of you any time it makes their bottom line look better. So lets be real.
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
There's also that whole thing of doing the "right" thing because it's the "right" thing to do...idk I just don't see how two wrongs make a right? The problem is the majority won't do the "right" thing when no one is looking...which includes actually standing up together as consumers (part of a whole other argument)

I'm all about modifying my stuff, but I'm also cool with being all about taking responsibility for what I've done.

Just because I can take it back and screw them over, does NOT mean I should.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
Again, you talk about the decision to take it back as if its a moral challenge. That company is going to do whatever they need to do to make a buck. That's why its a company, looking out for stockholders, not their customers and they will never do anything just because its the "right thing to do" . Any move a company makes is about the bottom line. Even if it looks like they are "being so generous" bet your butt they have teams of people analyzing the data and advising on how to maximize profits, even if its by taking a hit but its really just a PR move. Its all calculated bro. This is something you learn in life as you get older. Never ever ever do whats perceived as the "right thing" when it comes to dealing with YOUR bottom line and a company.

Grab Ninja Morph from the market. You can use it to extract whatever file (framework-res.apk) to your sd card. I usually leave the file in the folder it creates (/sdcard/androidthemes/workspace) and use root explorer to swap out the images. Then re-open Ninja Morph and click finish project and it'll re-package the app and swap it for you. No PC needed.

FYI: It also creates a backup of any app it pulls in /sdcard/androidthemes/backup.

[HD7 General] tombrighteyes:
try downgrading back to old and unlocking it then applying the registry patch that keeps it unlocked for "NODO" that actually helped me out in the long run before i needed it and im still dev unlocked

good luck ;)
[HD7 General] ranya:
beginner could you understand a little explanatory:(:(:(:(
[HD7 General] tombrighteyes:
ok lets seee, i have had the phone for very little so ill try to use my little skills i know to help out :)

well connect it to the zune software, and there should be, on the update inside settings for the phone, a "restore" button for the previous that you had before. i have not done this but im sure it works to downgrade it to what it was before.

from there just unlock it again if it needs it (im not sure if the restore point saves that as well). and search around in the forum or try this one and follow steps carefully for the registry edit which will keep the phone unlocked.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009974

then after that and you have everything good to go, try again to update and it should work and still be unlocked :)

i did the step before the new update was here so im sure it works :)

Here by i request you my friends,im very new for Xda..

I just had updated my hd7 to 7.0.7392.0 yesterday..i need to unlock my phone. anyone please help me in a step by step way,how to downgrade,so that i can unlock my phone easily please..

thanks in advance for the helping hand..
[HD7 General] tombrighteyes:
just go here, this works and its perfectly well informed with instructions..

i tried explaining it a more faster way.. but oh well not everyone gets it in a short version.

here before you go and and follow instructions from the link... to downgrade just go and connect your device to your computer and run zune. when your phone finishes syncing go to your phones settings in zune (not settings on the phone). then look for where you check for updates for you phone, click on that. then a button should appear, where the info is shown of that; it says "restore" click it and restore it to a previous version which is 7004 or 7008 then when that is done.

go here and read some more! :D

follow those instructions to the dot and then after that enjoy your unlocked phone and update all the way back to 7392

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009974

you probably don't need to go past step 2 since they allready pushed out NODO and the 7392 update with the security patch.

that should do it. thats the way i did it, and should work for you if you follow all the instructions. :rolleyes:
[HD7 General] Arjun Haritsa:
not restoring

friend thnx for the reply.. but its getting back to 7.0.7390 not 7004 or 7008!!!

what to do?:confused:
[HD7 General] tombrighteyes:
weird... what version of the OS did you have before that? did it come with 7392 when you got your phone?

that would explain that problem... since it didn't have the restore point of previous version on your computer to back up.

the only other way from that is to flash it i guess...

i haven't flashed the HD7 yet but i used to do it alot back when i used my HTC touch diamond.

im pretty sure you can search on the forums for a stock ROM for your phone in that case and flash it with whatever ROM for the provider you have.

the search is your best bet to find it.

sorry i can't help with the flashing or anything but im sure the forums will help if you do a little searching :)

after that, just follow what i said and you should be good to go.

i know it seems like alot to do... but you won't regret it for what you get in the end. custom ringtones, tweaks and homebrew apps :)

good luck :)
[HD7 General] Arjun Haritsa:
thnks

thnks tom..

no it wsnt came with 7392.. it was with version 7004 or 7008. i dont know perfectly.. but im sure it was not 7390 or 7392..

i dint knw much more about xda at that time, accidently i enterd the xda wen i ws searching 'hw to port android to my cell'.. & i saw all the threads one by one..thus i came to knw we can unlock our phone & can be install apps to my phone.

bt wen i bought my phone it dint hv cut copy update,& i done it via zune..& then 7392 day before yesterday!!

ok ill try other way wt u said,will loose warranty in doing that?
[HD7 General] tombrighteyes:
for flashing a ROM no.. just make sure you get the one for your phone and the one for your company (carrier) to make sure everything is back to zero.. (the way you had it when it came brand new in the box)

and i can't stress it enough.. read... read... and then before doing anything to your phone.. read again.. and for the love of everything.. read while your doing it for safety precautions.. we all don't want you to go and brick your phone because of something you missed.. (and when i say read.. i mean instructions and all the info you need)

because nobody wants an expensive brick on their hands.

sorry if i act paranoid.. i just hate when that happens to someone that doesn't pay attention or tries to do it the "easy" "fast" way and thinks they can do it when they don't :)

Good Luck!
