So how would I install cwm without unlocking the overloaded?
[Xperia Play General] Michealtbh:
Use CWM Installer. Of course you'll need to be rooted first
[Xperia Play General] skaroger867:
That'd the app I used before to install a Rom and got stuck on the SE logo. So how would I know what Rom I can use with this and a locked bootloader?

Thanks for all the help so far
[Xperia Play General] BuckM:
Basically any one that says its for locked bootloaders, because they will say that, you just have to read it over very carefully. He's a couple examples of what you'll see:

This is for UNLOCKED ONLY:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1431608

If you scroll down to how to install you'll see he mentions the kernel and flashing the kernel through fastboot. You can't do this on a locked bootloader, you can potentially brick your phone if you try anyway.

This is for unlocked or LOCKED:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1485931

As you can see they specifically say its for locked and unlocked bootloaders, note how there is no provided kernel or mention of fastboot. Its simply a mod of a stock firmware, not built from the ground up like unlocked bootloader ROMs.

*EDIT*

Here's an incomplete list of ROMs to use on a locked bootloader, look under stock based ROMs

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1294129

That being said still make sure you read the fine print to see if it requires flashing a kernel.
[Xperia Play General] skaroger867:
Thanks ill give it a try
[Xperia Play General] icmcomm:
becaful on dead boot.

just a advice, if you try to unlock bootloader with third party software. be sure you know what you are doing it. else, it will brick your phone easily.

1. you need to root you phone using x10 flashing tool version 0.6.6 by Bin4ry & Androxde. just one click to root your device.

2. try on sony developer site to unlock your bootloader. web add=unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions

3. follow the instruction there you will get thing done. but... please read the instruction cafully. be sure you know what you are doing it.:D

I am trying to root my Vibrant running froyo. I tried the update.zip and also superoneclick methods, none of them seem to work. I was wondering if there is any other way to root my phone without using ODIN.Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Pull the Clockwork zip from my signature and then also the Superuser zip too. Put the SU zip in a folder and the CWR zip on the root of your internal. Boot into recovery and hit Reinstall Packages. It will cycle through and boot back into stock-blue recovery. Hit Reinstall Packages again and the recovery will turn from blue to Green. Scroll down to Install from SD card and find the Superuser zip from earlier and flash it. Once done, reboot and you should have SU. Might have to update the binaries. If you do, go to market and download Update Fixer. Install and run it. It will fail. Force Close it and restart and run it. It will cycle through and you should be good to go.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
You don't need to have CWR at all. It is just a good teaching tool for future. If all you want to do is Root, the just put the SU.zip on your internal card, boot into recovery and hit reinstall packages twice and you are rooted.

More or less the same as I wrote up there only w/o Superoneclick. I have never been able to get that to run correctly on any phone. Some have, but I haven't.

You may have done something wrong if superoneclick didn't work. Did you put your phone in USB debugging? Also, if you install update.zip from recovery, that will work too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh_:
Hey Guys,

I am new here and having the same problems not being able to root.

I'm also running a Vibrant 959 on Froyo 2.2.

So far I've tried the following:

-one click for t-mobile vibrant on mac

-superoneclick running an XP Machine w/framework 2.0, 3 & 4

-V4 app

Nothing has come to fruition for me. I've tried the soc method several different times and checked the threads about making sure usb ports are functioning and usb debugging is on. I've ran it with the SD card installed and w/out external SD installed.

With SOC it keeps telling me that my phone has been rooted but superuser doesn't show up. I even tried using an app called root check basic which tells me root access is not available.

I'm coming up dry as to why SOC works in the videos people post but I am not successful in running the same thing on my phone.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh_:
Please disregard above post. I finally found the problem was i was running recovery 3e which was rejecting the signatures.

I installed the modified 3e in the link mentioned above and finally got the system recovery to re-install the update.zip folder.

Haven't tried superoneclick since the modified 3e was installed

I have an HTC ChaCha that is on 2.3.3 (for some reason ATT hasn't given us the 2.3.5) and I've finally got it rooted successfully (it came S-Off).

Also, after reading the CNET review, it looks like we may not be getting S-Planner initially so I'm hoping they have it in the Samsung app store for an optional download (or someone can make the APK work from the international version work with the AT&T version).

So, a few custom ROMs have included the Torch app that I really like. It allows for a widget with different settings, such as strobe. However, I don't believe it is in the market. There is one though that is very similar and does work. If you just search "torch" in the market currently, the first result will probably be "Nexus Torch". It does work on my atrix, and has the same functionalities as the other torch app. Just thought I'd put it out there for you all if you wanted a simple torch app without having to push an apk.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fjhuerta:
Hi all,

I just bought a Nook Tablet, and I'm already in love with the price and speed (I've loaded games like Shine Runner, and they run perfectly - I honestly didn't expect it!). I've spent quite a bit of time researching my issues and have not been able to fix some of them.

Anyway, my tablet came with 1.4.1 installed. I used this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466583&page=11) to root my Nook. I had no problems. I then installed Market, have the Google apps running, added Go Launcher EX, and everything runs fine.

Except for third party apps and other things. Here are my issues.

1) Can't run NTHiddenSettings.apk or similar apps - when I use the Package Installer I get an error message about not being able to run the application (For security reasons, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market), then I'm dumped to the hidden settings. I try to change the 3rd party app setting, but nothing happens. I've read a bit about it and it seems it has to do with 1.4.1.

2) Can't set Go Launcher EX as the default launcher. Actually, I can, but nothing happens. The Nook launcher is always the default. I've tried to clear the settings on the application manager, and I do get the prompt regarding which launcher I want to use - but it always uses the Nook one. I read the Newbie FAQ and it seems the usual way to get to the launcher is by using "Search" and running the app manually - that works. I only want to know if I can use the "N" button to run Go Launcher automatically.

I'm about to downgrade my NT to 1.4.0, since I can't find any other way to fix my issues. Or is there a way to keep 1.4.1 and run 3rd party apps and change my launcher?

Thanks for any help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Birdsbeaks:
As far as I know, 1.4.1 didn't bring any additional functionality to the device, just an attempt by B&N to close some doors they left open. In other words, you won't be losing anything by downgrading to 1.4.0. I'm sure if I'm wrong, someone will chime in to correct me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Oh well I've seen 1.4.1 gives just troubles, you will be better in 1.4.0

Thanks for all your answers!

Here's what I did. My Nook is running almost perfectly well now. I can't see the SDCard on my PC, but hopefully I'll fix that pretty quickly.

1) Rooted using the SDCard procedure.

2) Installed the Gapps Zip file.

3) Used this procedure: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1473973 in order to be able to load 3rd party apps. Success!

4) Ran NTHiddenSettings and enabled USB debugging, etc.

5) Installed HomeCatcher.

6) Installed the one click install for CWM.

Now my Nook is rooted, has GoLauncher EX as its default, and is ready with CWM. I can't be happier. Almost everything I could ever want out of a Galaxy Tab for far less money! Thank you all :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
Many people skip formatting dalvik, system and boot, which is a big mistake. Not wiping them leaves a chance for old files to stay causing all sorts of random behavior.

Only problems I have seen with this build is Astro File Manager refuses to save SMB server settings. SMB Client works fine so it could be an Astro or restoration issue. I also couldn't connect to the ftp program (sftp?), VNC on the other hand worked in both directions so it could just be a compatibility issue.

If your backup has several thousand messages (I had around 5000), and you restore, after the restore your messaging app "appears" to be crashed and only shows a black screen. You just have to let it sit open in that state for the messaging app to index all the messages.

The first way is to make a nand of cm9. Nand back to what you want to restore from. Use one of the many SMS/MMS backup and restore apps. Then nand back to CM9 and restore using the app. That is the hard way.

Easy way involves TB if you use it.
