Is it 2.2 or 2.2.1 or 2.2.2? If it is 2.2, get an app called z4root, install it, go to settings and enable USB debugging, open the app and select 'Permanent Root'. If it is 2.2.1 or 2.2.2, get app called gingerbreak (it is gingerbreak, not gingerbread). Follow the same procedure to root.

The next step involves installing a custom recovery.

Step-by-step instructions for the entire exercise beginning from rooting with links can be found in the second post.

Android 4.0.3 china I9220 root

Hi mihir,

I write you because as expert Android user you may surely help to solve my problem.

Yesterday I have rooted my smartphone, a chinese I9220 with mtk6575 processor and 4.0.3 android release. I have done this to repair the damage made by my wife that push "fabric reset": this action had cancelled the IMEI and so the smartphone didn't connect more to 3G network mobile.

As I said before, I have rooted the smartphone and so I have succeded in to rewrite the IMEI. But now, the smartphne seems more slow and starting to this morning It is not possible phone because the audio and the microphone doesn't work.

How can I solve this problem? May you suggest an apps or a software that can restablish the normal working of the software? In the case, is it possible unroot the phone?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Best regards

Alberto

So I've tried like 4 times tonight to root my wife's LG and to no avail. Each time I get to the super user it just sits. I tried to unbug the debugging mode, then rebug, and nothing. She has the 2.3.3 on the LS670 model. I've tried once using the gingerbreak, and also using the puwhateveritis and still nothing. It just sits saying, running gingerbreak....... but nothing. Am I being impatient or is there something I'm missing?

I'm kinda not a noob. I have a rooted EVO shift so I've rooted before, just curious. I'm getting flack from the wife and I have to show progress or it's the dog house or a new phone.... Help please.

2. Gallery does not work. Another `sorry' message - The application Gallery

3. Video playing does not work. Displays the list of video files. But, does not play any video. Only a white blank screen is displayed.

4. Camera does not work. Another `sorry' message - The application Camera (process com.lge.camera) has stopped unexpectedly.

Kindly suggest solution for eliminating these errors.

Did you do a nandroid backup before changing you kernel? If yes, then restore that backup. If no, then you can

a. Flash the stock rom using the stock rom zip posted in the first post (In the question "How to get back to stock")

b. Flash any other rom from the repository.

c. Or flash back the stock rom using the KDZ process, also mentioned in the first post.

First of I would like to thank the Admins and fellow members for their informative posts.

Secondly, Coming to my problem, I am using CM7.2.0 Thunderg-KANG rom ( Kernel v2.6.32.9) for some time now. Today I tried flashing a new rom using Rom Manager. Tried GingerBlurB, GSnap v2, MIUI but none would flash. Rom manager shows a bad file error on the recovery screen.

In the process of trying to flash these roms I cleared my cache's. Since the flash failed I lost all the previous data. Now when I try to Install a new app downloaded from net it shows "There is a problem parsing the package".

I checked some of the suggestion given but none helped. The file names end with .apk, Installation from Unknown source is activated. I need some Help.

Hi!

Really just wanted to say thanks to this thread, but that is not the case. I messed up!

Have search and tried all day but couldn't find any answers.

I have a LG p500 rooted with z4root and had stock rom.

Went by this thread by mistake and saw that were ICS and JB available to my phone.

So I thought lets give it a try!

Here comes the story:

I read all the steps and started to download everything, but here comes the misunderstanding.

In the bottom it says "If later you want to flash another rom, no need to begin again at rooting, you can follow from step 3 and onwards"

And i found luposhirp's JB version in another thread so i took that one.

So i skipped to download a recovery Zip.

But I still tried to get it in Flash Image GUI, but the program just said that it wasn't a recovery.img.

So i just renamed it from Boot.img to recovery.img and tried it again, and it worked!

So after that, i rebooted to recovery mode and LG logo just comes up then the Android logo comes up, but after that nothing happens.

So know after reading some more i know what went wrong, i shouldn't renamed the boot.img to recovery.img, i should just take a CMW-recovery then followed the steps.

But now to the problem: Ive tried both Lg support manager - KDZ and LGMPD to recovery iphone, but it seems that it dont get any connection to my computer.

My emergency mode is still working.

Does anyone have a clue what I can do, or should i just throw my phone out the window and buy a new one?

Sorry for my English and my long reply.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
You flashed your boot.img to your recovery partition, rendering your phone un-bootable. Keep trying to connect your phone in emergency mode, using KDZ/LGMDP seems to be your only way out.

I'm a little confused guys. My friend has official gingerbread with V20H baseband. He wants to root it. I think the best way is to first flash CWM Recovery from stock recovery, then root the phone with one of the links on the first post (which in this case would be only flashing superuser or something). Is this the correct order?

NO.

1.Connect phone to pc via usb

Thank you all very much, just downloaded the rather large file.

A quick question, I presume I flash it using Odin, I have extracted the .exe file downloaded and it created a folder with the same name, but the folder doesnt seem to have a .tar file to use with odin..... .

How to flash these files with odin? do I just add the whole folder? if so where to bootloader/PDA/phone or CSC....

showing my total ignorance here but hey, thats how one would learn
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smartphoner:
when the downloaded file is extracted; it should be a .tar file and u could confirm that from right clicking on it and seeing its properties

the file is loaded from the pda section in odin, making sure that the repartition option is not chosen!!!

then start and good luck

the other file on the site is the stock kernel for it, if u find any problems with use after flashing this rom, u could flash the kernel the same way u did with the rom

just simple as that!!

give us the feedback :)

When powering the mobile on and off, the operator's logo disappeared which is an added bonus as I wanted to remove it anyway. powering on slightly slower (few seconds) but nothing major.

If you used the Mango4all tool then it should have created a backup during the install process. Check on your computer for c:\premangostate.

If you have this folder then theres a good chance you have a backup. Just check the folder size - it should be usually around 4GB but can be bigger.

If you have this then you should be able to restore it. The Mango4all tool has a restore.bat, just run that and away you go.

If you got Mango some other way then im not sure :/

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gamblor01:
I have been trying to help a friend install Android on his HD2. We actually had it working but didn't know anything about APN so we couldn't figure out how to get the 3g data working. Ultimately I wound up flashing it back to Windows, and then figured I would try flashing Android again after that. Unfortunately we are now stuck with Windows because it seems that we cannot flash MAGLDR. When we try, the progress bar sits there, stuck at 0%.

I had downloaded the image from T-mobile's website here:

http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/

But I found this post archived:

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-612580-p-78.html

It has some information stating that "If you cannot reflash and you stay at the 0 percent screen, then another solution is to flash first an original stock HTC ROM (1.66). Enter bootloader, connect to PC/Laptop and flash this ROM. When that has been succesfull, you can then reflash Artemis ROM."

Unfortunately the ROMs they are referring to (1.66, 1.72, etc.) appear to be non-US ROMs. I found the 1.72 website for the UK:

http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=936&news_id=638

But the site specifically says not to use that ROM to flash a T-Mobile(US) HTC HD2 as doing so can have unintended consequences. Is this true even when using HSPL? As part of the Android process we obviously had to install HSPL 2.08. I thought the point of HSPL was that you could always flash a ROM and even if the ROM didn't work, you will drop into the bootloader where another ROM can be flashed. So basically you can't brick the device any longer since you can always access the bootloader and flash a new ROM.

It seems people had success flashing one of those 1.66/1.72 ROMs and then installing some other ROM. I tried using the US ROM and it flashes just fine (doesn't get stuck at 0 percent) but when I try reflashing MAGLDR it just gets stuck. I don't intend on booting up and using the UK ROM...I'm just curious if I can flash that on this US based phone and then try to flash MAGLDR again to see if it works. Is this a good idea?

flash any non tmous compatible cooked rom to a tmous and it wont boot past the RGD screen.

flash any STOCK non tmous rom to a tmous and it is bricked, full stop, dead. The radio contained in non tmous roms is permanently fatal to tmous phones.

This is true regardless of HSPL or any thing.

Simply put, you should never flash any rom where the chef doesnt explicitly state tmous compatible.

I havent used artemis, though glancing through the first post i see it is is based on the Leo S 3.14 rom, which is for the regular hd2 (LEO S means regular). What it doesnt make is any mention of tmous compatibility, so unless someone knows for certain i'd stay away from it.

not at all.

If your aim is magldr, put phone into bootloader, connect usb, run hspl4, choose 2.08.hspl, your radio is already OK, because if it wasn't your phone would already be bricked (all tmous radios are ok for magldr by default), return to bootlaoder, flash magldr.

EDIT - Oh and once you are on android, you dont need to worry, all roms are tmous compatible.
