[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
I had same problem with restarts and FC. For now on I think when i flash between EE4 and EP1Q I will do a stock flash with IMNUT's PIT file and the stock firmware then flash the desired rom.

GummyCharged 2.0...I suggest you Download the stock EE4 and download the PIT file, both can be found in the "LOOK HERE FIRST" thread. Take out your battery hold vol down and plug in your phone to the computer you flash with. Put your batter back in. Flash EE4 and PIT at the same time. You will be stock unrooted now. Now download the cwm and flash that. Then download Gummy 2.0 on your sd and flash through cwm... I haven't gotten a single FC or restart since. Also I took out the sim card when I flashed and I seem to be getting better luck with not having errors.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
That build of GB is old. You can use EP1Q it is more stable and the radios are better
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
1. This version yes. I believe it is fixed on EP1Q which you can use in place of the build i posted

2. Touchwiz is still on there i believe (it's been a while since I ran GB stock) . If is is not you can flash eclipse (EP1F) and you will then have it back. Apparently, There nitro is close to releasing eclipse for ep1q. (according to another thread)
[Verizon Droid Charge] DJAvion:
Dude thanks alot for the help but I am not following it at all haha. How do I flash them at the same time and when you say put the gummy 2.0 on my SD card and flash through CWM, what do you mean by that?> are there any more detailed directions somewhere? Thanks a bunch man
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
not a problem.

1.Download the EE4 stock and pit file. (both of these can be found in the "LOOK HERE FIRST " thread in General forum) In that thread you will see "Full restore odins" froyo and GB. Froyo is ee4 and ED1 and Ed2. EE4 id the latest froyo build. Open that thread and download it.

Pit can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111486

basically this is odin

2.after extracting (important) the ee4 file you downloaded, either with 7 zip or winrar programs (google them), open odin.

3. put your phone in DL mode (remove battery, hold vol -, plug it in to usb of computer)

4. yellow triangle should be on screen

5. odin should see your phone (it will say added and assign it to a com)

IMPORTANT

6 make sure you put your battery back in

7 remove sim card (precautions)

8 click PIT and assign it to the PIT file you downloaded

9. check and Click "PDA" (ONLY PDA others will mess your phone up)

10. point the browser to the file you extracted.

11. click start

12. WAIT until you see a green pass on ODIN (even if it looks stuck do not remove)

13. let phone boot into the normal os (phone should be like it was when you got it from the store)

14. shut down your phone

15. close and open odin again (fresh start)

16.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112804 download CWM

17. Put phone into DL mode again

18. Click\check PDA and select the CWM

19. click start wait for green pass on odin

20. let phone restart

21. connect to pc

22. download Gummycharged

23. move that file to your phones SD card (anywhere as long as you know where it is lol) do not extract keep as zip

24. turn off your phone disconnect from usb

25. put phone in recovery (vol +, Home and power all held until samsung shows)

26. using the vol keys navigate to wipe data\factory reset and pres power to select then select yes.. use the back button to get back to main screen

27. do the same for cache partition

28. then go to advance and do Dalvik

29. then go back to main screen and click "install zip from sdcard"

30. the "choose zip from sdcard"

31. find your gummycharged 2.0 zip selected it

32. click yes

33. wait

34 then go back and click reboot system

35. you should be good to go.

It is good practice to take your Sim card out when flashing, as well as putting your battery back in. I see less FC and random restarts

sorry if this is incomplete or not legible as i am writing it just before bed. feel free to ask questions. always glad to help

Be sure to Thank KeJar31 for the gummy 2.0, IMNUTS for the Cwm, and pentafive for the full factory ee4 tar

great stuff

good stuff here. Ive rooted and rommed a few charges now. Easy stuff. I own a samsung galaxy s for over a year now. (same phone almost) This phone needs a TRUE Odin Once Click restore like the Captivate. So when **** happens you put phone in download mode and get com port and hit start. Then it flashes it back to TRUE stock, and wipes EVERYTHING from device as it was the day you pulled it out of the box. Painless, never brick. I dont own a charge but im always romming everyones phones, ive flashed thousands of times on many makes and models. I will contact design gears devs about making us a odin 1 click. I will donate to them for the cause. Plus its always great to have the best android devs on your side :) aka Project Design Gears on the Charge!
[Verizon Droid Charge] The Rabbi:
Great post thanks for making this so easy for a noob
[Verizon Droid Charge] gregro611:
I'd like a reality check before I go ahead with rooting my Charge. After going thru tons and tons of posts about rooting this phone I tried to gather up the latest info/files my plan is to use the directions at the beginning of this thread- but with Odin 1.85 and this:

CI510_VZW_EP1W_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV3_user_CL485836_ship_rooted.tar.md5

I've got the Samsung drivers installed, along with Odin and I'm ready to pull the trigger but since I can't find posts from anyone who's tried this method I'm a little nervous. I've only rooted one other phone before (DX) so not much experience. Think it'll work ok?

Edit: 1.85 no workee. Going with 1.82
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yes that Odin version and rom should work fine, you will probably want to put the battery back in when flashing a rom in Odin so you can uncheck that auto reboot box... if that rom doesn't work for whatever reason you can always Odin the stock bloated (theres some issues with the debloated version) EP1W and flash superuser in CWM to gain root then remove the bloat yourself with root explorer or titanium backup
[Verizon Droid Charge] gregro611:
Thanks! I've got it rooted now using the files I mentioned.

I'd like to debloat this thing myself but now that I have root and am looking at all the apps (system/app) in Root Explorer I am unable to rename

the apps (from ".apk" to ".bak") like I did on the old DX. Root checker says I do have root so I must be missing something obvious here. Any suggestions? Gotta rid of all that garbage!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
you've gotta change the option at the top from R/O (Read Only) to R/W (Read and Write)
[Verizon Droid Charge] gregro611:
Much appreciated.

Gave the phone a good workout today and no weirdness so far.
[Verizon Droid Charge] schmojax:
nice thanks a lot man.
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
where do you find the .md5 files though?

Every rom I've come across is a .zip for ClockWork Recovery mod installation and that doen't work. The only thing that has worked is this guide...

but i just can't find md5's anywhere
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
look for the "Odin package" of whatever rom you're looking for, although yes most are CWM .zips as that is easiest flash option for most people... I know Danalo likes to zip up his Humble Odin .tar.md5 files so you may need to unpack it first if you choose that, also most if not all kernels are flashed in CWM so it should CWM should work right

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] gs05:
Hey! You guys are great, but a few questions. I have done all this rom and odin stuff with my galaxy tab, but the charge has all the CWM stuff.

What I want to do is install the EP3H Humble Rom or at least the raw debloated EP3H stock. Right now, I have the non rooted, stock EE4 version (latest retail OTA build) from verizon. I dont really plan to do lots of rom'ing, I just want something that is fast and works that I can keep for a while

- Can I just use the instructions on this thread and replace the 2.3.4 file with the debloated EP3H stock?

- Will the phone be rooted using that stock release? or do I need to install some rooted EE4 version first, then flash over that?

- The Humble rom says I need to clear cwm caches for ODIN? Is this needed, or can I just substitute that rom file in the instructions on this thread

- Should I flash back to ee4 and install all this cwm stuff?

Thanks everyone! Really appreciate the assistance!
[Verizon Droid Charge] edwardk12687:
so i downloaded odin and the android 2.3 unbloated tar file but i cant get odin to recognize my phone. Am i doing something wrong? I've tried a couple of usb cables and i have gotten the phone to connect to the computer normally but i still cant get odin to recognize it when its in download mode. any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Hmm all programs and files for the phone are installed? Try a different usb port.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sjanderson:
Hi All - I just completed the above with one slight variation and am wondering if that may have any impact. I could not get an EE4 file to successfully flash through Odin so I went back and substituted an ED1 which I found on another thread. My Charge then told me an update was available but I did not proceed with the update. Rather, I followed all the steps above using ED1 instead of EE4. Everything seems to be working fine but I wouldn't know if there would be any issues. BTW - love the performance - great job! Only question has to do with what seems to be the inability to add a POP email account alongside my corporate Exchange email account. Setup keeps returning errors. Thanks for your time.

After ODIN Flash phone goes into Android System Recovery 3e

Hi,

After completing the ODIN flash to 2.3.4 on my droid charge, during reboot, the phone goes into Android system recovery mode.

the console output says checksum confirmation -> check(0)

Not need checksum confirmation

already executed!!...

#MANUAL MODE#

Sort of stops there - the menu in recovery gives me the option to reboot but the enter key (power button) does not work here. I tried with and without the PIT file. Any suggestions?

I am following directions from the two sites(first one for files, second one for instructions)

Can someone help me with the manual movi issue? I am stuck with that screen, and when I reboot from recovery, the phone boots up, but the OS is pretty unstable, multiple applications crash, and the previous data (apps, user info) is still right there, instead of being a clean install.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
question instead of install the stock gingerbread to root can i install the newest gummy charged 4.0 or 5.0 or should i go to stock first back up and then flash as needed never rooted this phone my previous phone came pre rooted...
[Verizon Droid Charge] bkhorn:
I believe that as long as you use Odin to flash, then use Odin to flash a CWM you should be golden. Unless CWM is included in the ROM. Then you don't need that step.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ac1675:
Greetings,

Question for everyone out there. I rooted my GF's Charge, per the directions in the post. At the time I was having problems with the link to the CWM recovery. So deciding to wait to install it later, I figured what were the chances of it being useful.

Having a rooted HTC Thunderbolt, and waking up the other morning to an unhappy droid and big orange and red triangle, CWM proved to be unbelievably valuable. So after that experience I figured I need to get CWM on her phone asap in case VZW decides to update her phone and she is stuck with no way to reboot to a backup and her phone gets bricked.

Question is, since she has been using her phone a few weeks now, will she lose all her data if i put CWM on now?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
I. Believe it wipes all data however use titanium back up or similar to back everything up:-)

Hi everyone. I just acquired a new Droid Charge on ebay (haven't received it yet). Anyway, I am not new to rooting and flashing ROMs, but I am new to Samsung devices. I am coming from an HTC Droid Incredible, and so I'll probably need some help figuring out Samsung terminology and associated acronyms. Hmm... I don't even know where to begin. I am thinking I should install CWM recovery and root this thing for starters. Any suggestions? Eventually I'd like to play around trying different ROMs. Also, if there is anything I should know about this phone before I begin. Like, can I brick it? :p Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
I've screwed up many many times and have always been able to recover. I say make sure you know how to get back to stock, pick a Rom and jump in.

This is an easy one to start off with as it's flashed with Odin and includes everything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MidnightNinja:
This phone is pretty hard to brick, like the above post said. One of the main ways to bootloop your phone, or stop it from booting is flashing an rfs kernel over an ext4/voodoo one. But you can always go back to cwm and flash the correct kernel. But odining(is that the correct verb?) the build that you want is usually a cure for all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
Try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365376 it is the newest GB. It is a one flash shot. You wont need to worry about the kernel or CWM. Good luck!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
First off make sure you get the drivers and odin. Honestly try this first. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365376 It is a great place to start and you don't have to worry about flashing for the individual components of the system. This includes the kernel, Recovery, Rooted Rom. The drivers are the latest and greatest. It's pretty easy just follow the steps in the OP. if you mess up no biggy you can just try again. Make sure you hit "PDA" in odin, that is your biggest worry. If you need help we are here for you

nothing has been done to my charge root wise, so it is on 2.3.6 my question is will this root still work on a charge running stock gingerbread?
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
Sorry for not getting back. flashing the one in the original post will root your phone. However you will lose everything.i believe there is another method you can use for just obtaining root that wont cause your settings and apps to reset. Search rhe forum and if you dont find it try rootzwiki. When you do find it be sure to also flash cwm.

[Verizon Droid Charge] mjt1111:
Ofc follow this at your own risk

If all you want to do is root the phone just flash CWM in Oden follow the instructions by the OP. I recommend unchecking the auto reboot. This will give you time to make sure pressing the right config of buttons on reboot. If you don't follow the procedure for reboot the cwm will not stick and the phone will load into the stock recovery. The you basically have to repeat the odin flash and reboot procedure. Once in CWM flash file from zip ->superuser.apk

Personally I have had the best results with the latest ota + imnuts kernel+overclock.

If you just want to go with a rom you can find one that will add root + cwm +kernal etc. This is the easiest way ofc.

[ODIN][ALL IN ONE][EP4D] Gingerbread 2.3.6 W/Root/CWR/IMO Kernel 4.0 by danalo1979 is one example. For this all you have to do is flash just this file in odin. Just make sure follow the OP step by step. Keep in mind this wipe all your data! I've done allot of things wrong with my phone and have always been able to recover it.

Issue

Hello everyone,

I have encountered a problem - Odin is stuck in "<ID:0/006> SetupConnection.." and won't move on... I have tried several USB ports and nothing.

Phone is in downloading mode ofcourse. Any clues?

The problem is that i have no recovery installed atm ( don't know how i've done it - i'm a kind of a noob in this case) and the phone only works in bootloader mode but Odin will not set up the connection between itself and the phone.

Need help badly...

question for you guys:rooting a company phone

this thread looks pretty dead , so i dont know how much response ill get. Looks like a few good stable ROMS are available but nothing that has been worked on as of the recent. The root method described here is very nice and detailed love the pics. Thinking about doing this. I have a droid razr maxx that is rooted and running an AOKP rom.

well here's my question. The droid RAZR is a personal phone and I pay a small bill for little data and talk/text services. My new job I started working for just gave me the Droid Charge. Having had a rooted phone immediately I want to DEBLOAT this thing and get my Titanium Backup set up and what not's. Now there will be certain things I don't want to include on this new phone but do you guys recommend Rooting it? I'm pretty comfortable with the process, and I would only need to reverse the steps if the company and I ever parted ways. Just wondering if there would be any one who advised against rooting a company phone. Look forward to an answer thanks.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Ieeeeat2:
Some links dont work.

Incredibly detailed and a lot of thought has been put into making sure newbies like me understand everything and can follow what is going on and know exactly what to do next. So a big thankyou to you sir for taking the time to do this.

The reason that I'm replying to your post is to ask for some help with the links as most of them are not working.I understand that this is quite an old post and the SCH-i510 is quite an old phone as well. So I was wondering if there was one place where I could search for what I need.

My understanding is that this seems unlikely so I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to how I should proceed in locating the ROMs which you have listed. ....Out of everything you listed I guess if there was one file that I really wanted to try was that recovery file which has been tweaked to install CWR as well as the basic ROM thereby sparing me the trouble of having to flash using CWR...which I thought was neat.

Also I have to flash CWR everytime because it reverts back to the stock recovery and thank you for providing a solution for that as well which I am currently looking into...using the SDK thing.

Well even if some of the links didnt work it was well worth going through your post in detail because I did learn a lot of new things and although I have been going around in circles for the past 5 or 6 days I feel the solution is closer.

And I do feel a little more confidence now with what Ive picked up and maybe I could then proceed to unlock my newer phones and maybe even my current phone ....So nothing is ever wasted by visiting XDA which is truly an incredible site (and perhaps hated by all phone manufacturers because it helps us see and figure out all the cheap tricks they employ to insure a sucker will buy anything they release every 4 months which are supposedly packed with the state of the art features...(and tons of bull----!!) :D
