[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxify:
Hey Peeps,

I'm quite new to "rooting" smartphones so please bear with me here.

I have an HTC Desire (model A8181). I'm using it as-is but the built-in memory for applications is so small, my old computer from 1995 still beats it. So, I have come across several forum posts about "rooting" the phone. Also, some applications I need to install requires root access.

For the sake of safety, I want to obtain the Original ROM as well as a custom rooted ROM. Should the root fail, I can at least failover to the original ROM.

I'm not sure how to look up and search for this so I'm going to post the System Information here and pray that someone might be able to assist me in this regard (instructions on how to root the phone would also be appreciated).

Android: 2.2.2

Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c (htc-kernel@and18-2#1)

Build: 2.29.405.14 CL345208 release-keys

Software: 2.29.405.14

This phone was obtained in South Africa, if that makes any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[HTC Amaze 4G] WellTrainedVC:
I am searching for some extremely intelligent reasons to Root my Amaze 4G. This is the 1st serious purchase I have made for a smart phone. However, I have rooted an MyTouch3G Slide (3 phones in all), Epic 4G Touch, EVO 3D and Galaxy Nexus. All of those were fun to root and play around with the ROM(s). I just can't bring myself to do the same with my Amaze! Pleae reply with some good arguments FOR rooting my baby.
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
There's is no good reason to root a phone. It voids the warranty. Now that that is out of the way, you said you have rooted other phones and had fun playing around and learning, right? To me that is the best reason. I rooted my first phone and really had no idea why. Now I understand Android and Linux better had have knowledge of them that many don't even know exist. I'm going to be graduating soon from college and going into the IT world and having this knowledge will certainly help. Sorry for the rant but if you enjoy something and want to continue doing so, then I say rooted and enjoy the ROMs we have.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin0025:
I rooted mine for the increase in battery life, and custom ROMs. After a month or stock sense and gingerbread back in December, I knew what had to be done.
[HTC Amaze 4G] b33j7030:
i've rooted my MT4G prior to owning an Amaze just for the lack of performance and memory. I still have the device as a back up and love it. Now, question is, would i root this device for that reason being (performance and memory) - absolutely not. I just don't see a need for it at a time being but that's just me. Amaze's performance is solid with an exception of subpar battery life lol but that's not really a big deal to me. Guess it's safe to say that i'm not as hardcore compare to some of you guys when it comes to flashing custom roms = )

[Motorola Atrix 2] br0adband:
my question thus becomes:

Once we get ICS officially from Motorola (and I'm guessing it'll be Android 4.0.4 and not 4.0.3 or whatever), and Jelly Bean is already floating around, will it be possible to then have some ROMs made or built for JB that will work automagically on the Atrix 2, or will the updated kernel in JB become a big hassle/issue that prevents us from using it at all, barring that nobody will most likely crack that bootloader anytime soon...?

tl;dr version: Once ICS is official for the Atrix 2, can JB ROMs be built and usable or, will the updated kernel and whatever just be yet another wall on this fortress?

I just picked up an Atrix 2 and I find it to be extremely fast and so far pretty much rock solid stable. I rooted it, installed CWM, did a Nandroid backup of the 2.3.6 stock installation for safe keeping and then installed Remus 2.0 and it's just insanely responsive and everything works as expected.

But I just watched the Google I/O keynote to see what all the fuss about JB is about and I can see it's pretty amazing considering it's an incremental upgrade for ICS more than anything else, but the performance improvements are crazy so, I'd hate to think that Motorola would work on JB for us and yet not get around to releasing it till well into 2013 which is just a bit insane.

For such a company, Motorola is so behind the curve it hurts. I do love this device, however, it's utterly fantastic for me and I plan to keep it for some time, but obviously it's more than capable of running ICS/JB from the gitgo - now it's just "ok, when?"

Thanks...
[Motorola Atrix 2] mrAdvo:
As per official information - update for ICS - Q3 of 2012 (which actually already started), more precision date - unknown :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] br0adband:
I don't think you read my post very comprehensively - I didn't nor was I asking if ICS is coming and when it'll be out as we already know that based on Motorola's schedule announcement. :)

I know ICS is coming, I know it's between July (like, right now) and September (which means between right now and the end of the year given Motorola's somewhat inefficient release schedules of past years.

What I'm asking again is:

When ICS is out, and when I've got it installed on this Atrix 2, is there a possibility that Jelly Bean will be ported over to this Atrix 2 considering they're very similar OSes that most likely will use the same bootloader, or ... ?

In other words, after ICS is available, are we looking at a 2013 release of Jelly Bean for the Atrix 2, if it even happens, or will it be up to talented folk in the developer community to make the best of ICS as given by Motorola?

Hope that's more clear... I don't know how else to ask the question, honestly.
[Motorola Atrix 2] apinkel:
I'm no dev... but I did sleep in a holley day inn last night...

The locked bootloader means that the bootloader can only load the official Moto released kernel. JB will have a new kernel so the only way to get JB is when/if Moto releases it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] br0adband:
That's all I wanted to hear, at least from one other person as a confirmation. Nothing surprising, but somewhat of a disappointment I suppose.

/me kicks Motorola in da shinz, hard... then does it again... :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
I wouldn't be so sure that it's never going to happen. People have accomplished CM9 and AOKP (both ICS ROMs) on the Razr, Droid 3, and Droid Bionic (all of which atm are still on GB) that uses the GB kernel (and just about all of those ROMs are flashable on the A2, just without a working radio). So there's a good chance that the same thing will happen with ICS to JB, and since it's an incremental upgrade then I think it would be easier to do.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes, this is true. What most seem to not realize or maybe even know, is that the jump from GB to ICS was huge in the kernel space because honeycomb was completely jumped over and skipped in the phone space. What this means is that all of the upgrades from HC were merged into the ICS kernel, so the jump from Gingerbread to ICS was a huge one. The jump from ICS to JB will be much smaller, and it will have a lot more performance tweaks and increases from ICS. So this should be more doable. The real issue is that we need the ICS kernel first to start looking into JB.
[Motorola Atrix 2] apinkel:
Yeah I intentionally qualified my reply since I'm not familiar with the enhancements that went into the GB, ICS and the JB kernels...

I would have expected that the project butter enhancements in JB would have required significant kernel level changes. I take it that the kernel level work to support project butter happened with the ICS release... and now the UI layer in JB is more or less just leveraging that foundation.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No You may have misunderstood, just a little.

The jump to JB from ICS will be smaller.... Than the jump from GB to ICS. Yes there are a going to be some hefty changes for project butter, but only in in the performance and virtual space areas of the kernel, since every thing in the android app space is handled by the jvm, so there are a lot of enhancements to how the virtual space is handled, that is really what project butter does, as well as the changes in kernel to do that. Now Project butter also changes the vsync timings in the OS as well, and I am pretty sure we can port or figure out some of the changes and make some of that up in ICS as well.

We will most likely be able to run JB "ROMS" without ALL the project butter enhancements once we are on ICS, but that will be more than likely not until closer to the end of the year that we will begin to see some ported ROMS for JB that are capable of running on this phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] apinkel:
It would be nice to see that... I like Moto hardware but the locked bootloader can be a bit of an annoyance.

I have spent hours searching and reading, but I can't find an up-to-date answer.

I have a B70 TF101 that is at 8.6.5.21. I rooted using nachoroot. I want to put on cyanogenmod 9 RC. It does work using ROM Manager. Seems that in spite of telling it to install clockworkmod, it doesn't. I can't get it into APX mode. So I guess I'm ready to try to downgrade it to 8.6.5.19. I find loads of references and links to multiupload for that file, but it no longer is available.

How can I downgrade to 8.6.5.19? I just want to put on Cyanogenmod.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorntree:
I could never get into APX mode. I followed all of the instructions to get there that I could find but none of them worked. The power and up volume keys did nothing on my TF101. I finally got power and volume down to get me into clockworkmod, but then it couldn't find the zip file. When I finally got the zip file visible, then chose reboot system now, it just kept looping into clockworkmod. Somehow, in the end, after all kinds of crazy attempts of key combinations, it's somehow worked.

I had to end up going back to factory reset, then all kinds of acrobatics to place a zip file in the right place, then do another factory reset and wipe, which somehow ended up in my having cyanogenmod working. I don't know if I could reproduce the process. Also, it's very frustrating that none of the tutorials did anything to work on my tablet. I'm just thankful that it's where I want it right now. I don't know if I need to install OTA root keeper or not, and I don't know what I'll do if I ever need to upgrade to a different ROM or an updated cyanogenmod.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll keep them in mind for the future.
