First of all I did search and found some info but it wasn't really helpful... I'm new to the Charge. I've had many android phones before and have never had problems rooting and flashing roms. I've searched and I've seen the instructions on how to root and they look like they're in another language. Does anyone have more clear instructions on how to root??? Any help, asap, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey Brandon, this thread gives a great description on how to root your charge. => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14692818

If you still have questions feel free to ask, and I'll try to answer them as best as i can.
[Verizon Droid Charge] brandon2x:
Ok, so i got it rooted and just installed a de-bloated stock Rom. Its ok, but now question is, if i decide to install a gingerbread Rom or any other Rom such as gummycharged, can i just install like i did on my bolt or x in cwm or do i have to use this odin program? if i have to use odin, how do i go about installing that way? thanks in advance...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
For most roms, like gummycharged fe 2.0 and gbe 2.0 you just need CWM. I'm sure the process is the same as your bolt but just to be clear: Place the rom's zip you want on the sd card, boot into CWM, wipe date, dalvik cache, and cache partition, and then install the rom from the sd card. =) There are also some roms that come as full-odins, where you flash the package through odin and it does the work for you. That being said, you shouldn't run into that many unless you are un-rooting your phone. Hope that made sense. let me know if it doesn't.
[Verizon Droid Charge] brandon2x:
Sweet. Thanks alot dude. That's awesome to know. I don't really wanna get into messing with odin. I like being able to do everything from my phone and not having to hook up to the laptop.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trevoryour:
LOL, I was just coming in here to ask that exact same question as the OP. The wording was almost verbatim what I was going to say. The majority of experience I have had with Android is with HTC phones. I have rooted a few tablets as well. The instructions for the charge root are super confusing compared to previous devices.

My big issue is with the terminology. Like what is EE4, EPF1? Are there certain kernels that only work with certain roms? How easy is it to completely pooch the phone if I click on the wrong button in Odin? Can I make a nandroid backup and swap roms on the fly using Rom Manager depending on my moods or is it more complex then other android phones?

I haven't checked out the posts yet in this thread but seeing as how at least one other person has been just as confused as me I'm wondering if someone out there that has experience with both Samsung and lets say HTC phones can make a simple guide that makes comparisons to other rooting processes. For people that arn't used to Samsung phones, these instructions can be very overwhelming and there doesn't seem to be a newbie thread out there that gives information on all the abbreviations used and what they mean.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
EE4, EP1W, ect are OS build numbers. EE4 is the current official release Froyo build. EP1W is the latest leaked Gingerbread build we have. Those are pretty much the only two version you want to worry about right now. There are Froyo kernels and Gingerbread kernels. Any Froyo kernel will work with any Froyo ROM, and any GB kernel will work with any GB ROM.

Only mess with the PDA button in Odin and you'll be fine. Forget the Phone button even exists, because that's the button that can get you into trouble. You can use the PIT button as well if you have the charge.pit file, but it's not normally necessary, so only do that if you have a reason.

ROM Manager is useless with this phone. There are reports that there is a version of CWM from it that will work with the Charge, but it doesn't work nearly as well as the latest imnuts CWM. The orange CWM dated 8/17 will let you do nandroid backups...you just need to boot directly into it and do them from CWM itself and forget about ROM Manager.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
nice summation (is that a word? lol)... this is all you need to know, its not hard as Sammy phones in my experience are the easiest to root/rom/recover

[Verizon Droid Charge] brandon2x:
This was all helpful. I installed gummycharged with no issues. One other thing. Is the install of a kernal for gingerbread roms done in cwm? And what is a standard kernal to use? Do I need to install a different radio?? Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
kernels for all roms on the Charge are installed in CWM, as for GB kernels you can't go wrong with any of Imoseyons voodoo ones... radios don't necessarily need to be updated but I've noticed a big improvement with the latest EP1W modems, however the results vary on different phones I've seen

Throw all your music, photos and anything else over to a MicroSDHC card and you should be good. It won't erase whats in your removable media, just internal SD gets erased.

[Focus General] deziguy420:
I have unlocked samsung focus...I want to update to Mango and reserve my unlock but have no idea how to do it...I am new to Windows phone so please point me to the right direction here is the phone information

OS version: 7.0.7004.0

Firmware revision number: 2103.10.10.1

Hardware revision number: 3.1.0.7

Radio software version: 2103.10.10.1

radio hardware version: 0.0.0.3

Bootloader version: 4.10.0.1

Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0

any help would be appreciated...
[Focus General] Arqa:
If your Focus is rev 1.3 and you have your device unlocked then:

1.Download and deploy Samsung root tools from here, open it on the phone, check Remove Sideload limit, Prevent Device Relocking, press apply then reboot.

2.Download WP7 Root Tools from here and New SMS Unlock.xap from here, deploy both.

3.Open WP7 Root Tools go to explorer section, then create a new folder and name it provxml, then go to Applications>Install>D19A80F2-1717-...........>Install then copy unlock.xml from there and past it in the provxml folder you created earlier.

4. Open Zune check for updates and update to 7008.

5. Start Zune

6. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone

7. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)

8. Start the update search in Zune

9. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).

10. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.

11. Connect to the internet again and install the update.

12 Do the same as 5-11 to update to build 7403

13. Zune will automatically find Mango update, update it to mango.

14. If you have diagnosis application installed then uninstall it, open phone and dial ##634#, diagnosis will open, then dial *#9908#, GPRS Manager will open, select unlock, then press save, wait 3 sec. then close it.

Now you have unlocked Mango on focus.
[Focus General] deziguy420:
How do i find that out and also how to install that tool on the phone?

and I really appreciate that step by step guide
[Focus General] Arqa:
The rev version is written under the battery of the phone.

If you have your device developer unlocked by Chevron Unlocker, to install .xap file you will need WP7 SDK, download and install it to your pc, after that there will be Application Deployment tool, you can use that to deploy(install) applications to your phone.

To the best of my knowledge, the only screen protector, so far, reported to block the Jot is Ghost Armor.

My dry apply generic one works fine.

How much did you have to pay for shipping?

Never mind just found out it is $15.43...wow that is one expensive shipping cost.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zakiay:
Yep its not the cheapest stylus but for $35 and $45 for the pro (shipping included) it well worth the investment if your really into taking hand written notes or drawing
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Seems like a really neat idea to make a transparent capacitive surface so you know where you're writing. Although looks like it might snap easily if you forget the cap.

It's both in the Adonit Jot thread and on their youtube site..

Any cheaper solution? I was thinkinh th amcase from amazon at 9.98 with the 2n1 pen and prime shipping. Reviews seems good.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] WUSOM:
trust me its worth the investment, before the adonit i had bought 3 styli each about $12 and none was good enough.

Are there any really good note taking apps to work with this in handwriting mode though, the bamboo stylus works well on the iPad because there is a proper app to go with it, I have wasted so many hours trying to find something that actually works with handwriting & converts to usable text. If this stylus is so good & accurate then what is the best way to capture handwritten notes that can be converted to text ?

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

The design is good. The cap screws on both ends, with a big enough thread not to strip easily, and not to lose. It works better on slightly larger letters, so writing large letters and auto-shrinking seems to work great. Otherwise, pinch zoom to write larger and shrink back to view would also be ideal, like ezpdf.

I like my Jot. Good luck.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] RojasTKD:
I have had an Acase gen 2 stylus and after about a month or a little less the rubber tip began to crack. It lost if rigidity and now is almost useless to write. You have to mush too hard for it to make good enough contact and work.

I picked up a DAGi P504 and it was good, but after a few days it simply stopped working. Very strange.

I recently received a Adonit Jot, and it is the best of the bunch. But I dropped it on day four and the disk on the end split in half. Turns out it is two thin disk glued together with some metallic material in between. I have read that this has happened to others as well. You have to buy a two pack of replacement disk for $8 plus almost $6 for shipping. I'm going to try ans glue it back together and see if I can get it working again with out having to replace it. At least the **** didn't break then I'd have to replace it. Just so you know what you may get into.

Still the Jot is the best option out there at the moment and worth every penny id I don't have to keep replacing the disks every week.

ok what old rom is the most stable and still continue to stay stable. every rom i go to with in 2 to 3 days tends to bug out on me. I just finally got use to CM7 nightlies, and i have used CM7, cyclonic, Mikshift-g, synenergy, evervolv, deck shift, and supreme sense v3-5... I even try to wipe cache and D-cache everytime i get a new issue.

every time i use these with in a couple of days i get one of the following:

Apps refuse to open

people cant hear me unless i put them on speaker or headset

txt messages refuse to recieve and calls as well (mostly supreme sense, and the call issue on MIUI)

few random crashes and or restarts (not on MIUI due to sleep policy which i keep on never)

and few other random events.

I do not know if this is due too kernal issues like i would use x99 on evervolv, v8 on cm7, cyclonic, and even tried it on MIUI which was amazingly fast. I rarely overclock i tend to stay away from maxing it out due to issues, also a few other kernals to test them out.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enraged21:
Well, to begin with, did you wipe at least 3 times prior to flashing?

Its recomended you do so.

It also could be a bad download problem, but if its happening with all those roms I don't think its that.

Are you flashing the wrong kernel for the rom? Like a sense kernel for an aosp rom? Or vise-versa? Make sure you don't mix that up.

Oh...

Uhm, a question, the stock odin files that you have, are they TOTAL stock? like no root? or is it one of the rooted ones?

Can you go back into the market, go into superuser, and try to uninstall it? or go into settings>applications> and then go into superuser and it should say like undo update or something? Maybe those can fix?

Has titanium backup been allowed superuser before? Has SetCPU been allowed superuser before? If it has been done before, that may be why some work and some don't.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Yes, they should be totally stock. I downloaded them from "s15274n". And also, I'm not sure if you're familiar with MIUI but it has its own version of superuser that comes with it that's different from the one downloaded from the market... So this is a very confusing problem... Also, Titanium did work before and I never had issues until I tried updating the SU bianary and busybox. It seems as if odin isn't cleaning up everything, but I'm not sure... I made a big mistake thinking that the market SU app could update MIUI's SU bianary and now I can't seem to truly start from scratch...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxirane:
This is a feature, I assume, as MIUI will soon be preinstalled on phones (MI-One). All you need to do is go into the Super User app after flashing MIUI, hit menu -> settings (I think) and check to enable root.

No ODIN, no reflash, just that. It's not just the Vibrant, and I think it's the new norm for MIUI.
