Yes, Mambo04, I know that you can use the one click root/unroot, but this method is very useful for those who already have root access.

In addition, the comments regarding that unroot process are a mixed bag.

For me, it's much more comfortable to do it this way as I don't need to download any files as opposed to the one click root/unroot process (besides Terminal Emulator that most people already have) and also don't need to connect it to a computer (as opposed to the second root/unroot method).

Eventually, I think writing several lines of dictated code is much easier and takes less time to do, so I personally think it's a very good method.

What do you guys think?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] itaykoren:
RyanZA ,

thanks for your response.

Actually I did try without the 'mount' lines and it didn't work.

At least for me on stock jf3.

Perhaps on other firmwares it's different...

SGS actually does not use yaffs2.... So Impretty sure this fix isnt "proper"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] itaykoren:
I guess you're right.

Then again, I no longer have root access, so "if it ain't broken, don't fix it..."
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TeamSancheZz:
Worked for me also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] itaykoren:
I'm glad to hear...

If anyone else uses this, please feel free to comment so that we know of any problems with it, as so far I have not found any, and I think it's the one of the easiest ways to safely unroot
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] binary110:
THANKS! you saved me a Butt-Ton of headache. I work for bell, and i kind of rooted/lagfixed a store unit prior to activating it, the customer who got it would have been ecstatic. but the warranty is an issue. Is it possible to do the lagfix and then remove superuser permission so the phone is totally fixed and still warrantyable?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] itaykoren:
I don't know for sure if it's possible so I don't want to make any statements...

I guess it also depends on what this provider defines as a violation of the warranty.

There's been rumors that Vodafone UK, for example, does not consider rooting a Galaxy S as a violation of the warranty terms. But again, this has not been confirmed, and I guess most providers do consider it as a violation.

Also, hopefully the lag issue will be fixed in future official updates, so if warranty is a big issue, it mind be better to wait, or apply the lagfix and remove it before taking it to be repaired (if the state of the device allows it...)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skink666:
Hi, thanks for posting this unroot method, just a couple of questions;

1. If I run this, then do a factory reset will the phone remain unrooted? or will it revert back to rooted as I applied root using update.zip.

2. Is it safe to delete the update.zip from my internal sd after applying this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] itaykoren:
hi skink666,

1. After you run this successfully, you are unrooted, so if you do a factory reset, you will remain unrooted (you can easily verify this by checking your apps and making sure the "Superuser Permissions" app is not there).

2. The update.zip file that you use in order to root your device can be deleted once you have successfully gained root access. So, you can even delete it before applying this unroot method, not to mention afterwards.

You might want to keep a copy of it on your computer in case you want to root again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skink666:
Thanks for the info, will give it a try :)

I have no market on my phone and have been trying to install some apk's through amon ra console in recovery. Everything I try, which is practically everything i've read from searching, comes back with errors.

Either file/directory not found or can't open "install"

I am also having problems installing the drivers to get adb working from dangerspl. When I try to update drivers it says "This file does not contain information about your device"

Any help is much appreciated. I've been up all night trying to figure it out and feel like I'm going in circles.
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
Have you try installing from a file manager instead? (astro, estrongs, linda, etc..)
[G1 Android Development] astrikrace:
No I don't currently have a file browser installed, and have no market to look up/install one. I have another android phone with astro, could I pull it off of that phone and install on this with recovery console?
[G1 Android Development] Abolfazl:
Why not just install it via adb or push it to /system/app
[G1 Android Development] astrikrace:
I can't connect via adb becuase I couldn't update the windows driver for dangerspl. I downloaded the drivers for dangerspl but when I tried to update, it said it didn't have information about my device. Something like that. So I can mount the sdcard in windows and put any files needed and boot into recovery and use that right? I tried making a zip with the qpks in it and use flash from zip, kinda like installing gapps, but that didnt work either. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] sleepyfu:
Zip files will need the update scripts and signed for it to be able to be "flashed" from recovery.
[G1 Android Development] oof75:
Just use droidexplorer or android commander.

mount -a

or type less and read more

You can use busybox if you have the latest CM ROM installed

just type this ~~~> (busybox install /sdcard/yourapp.apk /sd-ext/app)

make sure the app is in the root of your sdcard

su
cp /sdcard/yourapp.apk /sd-ext/app

is less typing

and

su
cp /sdcard/yourapp.apk /data/app

is a 'safer' bet as they didn't mention which rom

what about this one? update.zip creator

[G1 Android Development] HorNet505:
which is not a big problem to create.

There is a TUT for it
[G1 Android Development] HorNet505:
you need a filemanager with root-rights. Depending on the ROM you use it might be available.

Try the app "IRSSI - connect bot". It gives you a console on the device.

login "local" and type "su".

Than you have superuser rights .... anything on commands you find in linux/android TUTs

Hi Guys,

I don't know whether or not you can help me but I have a XDA IIs running WM 6.5.5 (Dated 06/12/09) PH20B Model.

When I try to assign my device a specific IP Address it will only let me type in 2 digits in between each dot.

So like if I wanted 192.168.0.1

I would only be able to type it like this: 19.16.0.1

I can't get the third digit in the "field" so to speak.

Can anyone assist please?

Cheers

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Phil_Johnno:
Im not too sure to be honest I think it's possibly d-two's but I can't confirm this as the phone had it already installed before I got given it.

Is there a way I can find out?

An is it possibly a good idea to start fresh a load a new WM 6.5 and if so which one do you recommend?

Thanks for all your help in advance.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] esocid:
This is posted in the N1 forum, before xda got the new sections, but I suppose it works for any phone. I personally have a Droid, and can only vouch that it works on Droid and N1.

I haven't updated my metamorph since stericson looks like he's abandoned it, and since people started commenting that it doesn't work anymore. I have two/three options here. xml version (the 1.1 zip), .thm version (first zip), and the .png for you to pack yourself. The notification .png is in the zip so you can go ahead and extract that, and re-pack it yourself too if you want that.

01-05-10 Update: Updated control file to .xml to be compatible with newest Metamorph. v1.1 is the new version, but the older ones including .thm control files are still there for people holding over.

20-04-10 Update: Added a notification icon. The first zip is still just the launcher icon, and the second includes both the launcher, and notification icons.

Got tired of the straight up blue text so I made it look more like the splash screen text, and sort of what the 1.5 looked like. I have two options, grab the .png and copy over the icon within the Talk.apk and push it back to your /system/app folder, or metamorph.

Let me know what you think. If this is a grey area because it's a Google trademark just delete the post, or let me know and I'll remove it.

Directions:

Download the zip and use MetaMorph like normal to apply a theme.

or

Make a backup of your original Talk.apk

Pull your Talk.apk from /system/app or just copy it to your sdcard.

Open the archive (don't need to extract it) and drag the .png into it, and overwrite the old one. Update the archive if it prompts you.

*If something stops working, just replace it with your backup, or reinstall the gapps. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.*

#As root, copy apk and modify it from your computer

#as root make /system read/write

#copy the updated Talk.apk or push it from adb

#remount as read only

#sync filesystem

#exit root, and terminal and the new icon will appear

#restarting launcher or rebooting will fix the icon text in launcher

su

cp /system/app/Talk.apk /sdcard

exit

exit

#follow directions to modify the archive and place it back on sdcard or push it directly

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system

cp /sdcard/Talk.apk /system/app (or from the folder Talk.apk is in) adb push Talk.apk /system/app

mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system

sync

exit

exit

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turague:
My phone can't get past the first boot screen, I can access fastboot and recovery.

Here is what I have done so far:

1.Installed Android SDK

2. Cleared the cellphone through in

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase boot

I got OKAY for each one of these.

3. Installed CyanogenMod 4.2.15.1-EBI1 Kernel off of

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_version#Current_Stable_Version_2

via fastboot by placing just the boot.img file in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

and following commands

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

i got OKAY.

5. Rebooted phone into recovery placed CyanogenMod 6.0.0-DS-RC2 and Gapps onto sd card via usb toggle. Installed both 1st cyogen 2nd gapps.

What is wrong? i thought by now it would be working fine :( a full week without my phone is hurting.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Wow, we got a real bright light here, eh?

You wrote the EBI1 kernel FIRST, then installed CM6RC2 EBI0 OVER it, obliterating the EBI1 kernel.

1) The EBI1 kernel needs to be written AFTER the EBI0 kernel -- NOT BEFORE!

2) You need to use a kernel that is COMPATIBLE with the ROM you are trying to run! A CM4 kernel is NOT GOING TO WORK with CM6!!!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
**Edit: I was completely wrong.. I figured out everything, i know what i'm doing now lol.. thanks guys.

My first time rooting was a couple days ago when i had learned about the "1 Click Root" method...

I succeeded, got that latest ROM (to my knowledge) CM6 RC2 from the trusty (lol) ROM Manager.. which i enjoy a lot since im rooted and what not. I also themed my ROM a couple times to (what i think) are pretty cool themes..

But anyways, to make a boring story short (lol).. I absolutely hate (with a passion) wiping my data to my phone when i see or hear about this awesome new theme i want.. people say it is a must to wipe ur phones data to apply the "best" effect..

This gets REALLY old.. i had to do this like three times yesterday because i kept seeing new themes i wanted lol.. Re-entering passwords and re downloading all of your apps everytime you want a new ROM or want to apply a theme is too much work for how "great" rooting is.. Dont get me wrong, i love the new style of my phone, it looks amazing, but man! do i really have to keep wiping data to apply the things i want??

I now, noticed that all my contacts are not my phone. Only the contacts phones numbers on facebook that i had sync'd.. "My" contacts that i have in my phone are not there.. I imported them from my sim card and re-booted, but still not there.. Could this be because of my theme?

To what really made me mad was my camera, it keeps force closing.. Is this also because of the theme? I have the normal radio ending in 4.06.00.12_7.. I do not know if it didnt work before i applied the theme or when i rooted, i just realized last night it didnt work.. i do not want to re flash cm6 to see if the camera is working just because i do not want to "start" all over again.. with wiping and all that... if i have to, sadly, i will.

I had stock froyo frf91 before i rooted my phone.. in all honesty, should i just un root my phone and go back to the way it was? because if i have to keep wiping data, and starting over, im going to blow a fuse lol..

*** Sorry for my aggressive tone everybody, i just would like everything to be a smooth ride wth no wiping and i can apply themes as easy as 123 without losing data.. is there any ROM or theme that you could recommend?

please, someone help me... thanks xda community
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I don't ever wipe when I upgrade to the next version of cyan, so I don't lose a single thing. People say to wipe if you have problems. But you shouldn't have problems which means you don't need to wipe. It runs perfectly fine for me this way with no issues at all, no force closes, etc.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
Really? hmm.. ok thanks man.. but in rom manager when you downlaod something, it brings up an option saying backup and wipe.. do i have to click that or can i just cancel and just go ahead and reboot..?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
The way I do it (maybe not the fastest) is to set up your rom exactly how you want it, nandroid, then install any mods that might eff up your installation. Once you've installed the mod and you're 100% sure mms/wifi/bt/gmail/etc are all working, you can nandroid again and use that as your base.

The only time you'd need to wipe is if you want to set up another rom so you could switch back and forth between different roms.

And by different roms I don't mean updates within roms, like CM6 nightlies or enom's updates, I mean completely different roms like CM6 as opposed to enom.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
Ok thank you.. what about for themes and what not...? it says i have to wipe as well....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Your problem looks to be trying to navigate complicated stuff with lack of skills.

There is a good reason to root "old-fashioned" way, without 1-click stuff: if you read all you need to read and understand (various guides that teach you how to work with recovery etc) to root, then you won't get lost when rooted. Now you're trying to do stuff without even knowing, how things work, and let me guess - you didn't read any guide, you don't know how to work with recovery w/o ROM manager and don't know how to load a ROM, etc.

My suggestion is - go to Development section, open the stickies with guides and start reading. Do the same in General section, and don't skip the Wiki either.

Root brings you full control of the system, and it's excellent - knowing your way you can do tons of stuff, theming being the least interesting/important. But to control, you need to know and understand more than "1-click stuff".

Or you can just go back to stock, if you see no added value in a rooted phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
What theme are you talking about, I don't recall seeing any themes requiring a wipe.

The only thing I can think of is a pre-themed rom. If you don't know the difference between a theme and a themed rom, you should follow Jack's advice and read up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Your mistake is thinking that because there is an option to wipe in Rom Manager, then it must be necessary. No it isn't. The option is there for the people who want to wipe, but upgrading from one CM to another won't need it, themes won't need it, etc.

It is your job to know when it is needed or not. And you get that by reading and understanding how your phone works.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangeandblue302:
just wipe the Cache and the Dalvik Cache, the only time you must fully wipe is if you get boot loop when flashing a new rom/mod/etc.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
You just uncheck the wipe one. Besides you can just use recovery and don't have to use ROM manager.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
You certainly do not wipe to install a theme. That makes no sense! You would lose all your data all the time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zok-star:
I'm still running stock unrooted. One off the main reason why i don't really want to root is because I know how customizable our phones are, and i love new things.. like you, if i was to see a new theme Or rom I'd jump on it straight away. I don't think I'd ever stop!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Honestly that's exactly why I didn't root for 3 months. But once I found my exact setup now I just know how to setup each new ROM quickly. After that point now its just fun to tinker the phone and try the cyan nightly. It's really better to just root it. I was in the same spot as you I know what you mean.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
Hey bud, i was absolutely wrong on my post, deleting everything is not what you have to do, it gives you an *option to do it.. The one click method is great man.. no harm is done, the bootloader is still locked.. you can unroot if you dont like it.. btw, if you root, ur gonna love it lol.. there is so many options into customizing ur phone!! I still haven't stopped haha its great bro I'm tellin ya
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raleran:
Hello, I'm a new owner (less than a week) of the Captivate and a newbie for android except for messing with the Backflip for a couple weeks. All of your guides have been great and I've been tweaking the heck of my captivate. I've even recovered from a near-bricking... scary but satisfying when I breathed life back into the phone. Currently I've got it rooted, OCed, new interface, etc.

However there's one aspect I'd really like to change that's bothering me. As you can guess from my subject it's the contact handling. I haven't seen any threads addressing it and hope someone can either help or point me towards a solution.

In a nutshell, contact handling is horrible. It makes me appreciate motoblur on the backflip... and I hate going backwards. I can't sync my google contact groups and the current implementation is acting strangely. I have it set up to only sync and ONLY display google contacts yet I'm getting an abbreviated list on the contacts tab. There's a lot of contacts that will only display if I click Groups->google. I have no idea why.

Are there any mods that will improve the display of contacts and handle the managing and syncing of google contact groups? Also, what folders will it sync if I enable contact sync with my exchange server? Will disabling sync remove the contacts if I don't like how they're being displayed?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bardroid:
I agree. The stock Contact app on this phone is garbage. The google groups are completely hosed on this app. No individual ringtones can be assigned unless you also create duplicates as phone contacts and then link them together. That is completely brain dead. Even if you do that, you still can't view the google group assigments. They are there, you just can't see them. Try to create a new group with the same name as one of your google groups that doesn't show. It will say it can't create it because it already exists. I'll say it again, the Contacts app on the Captivate is garbage. I haven't been able to find a replacement for it either. Anybody have some suggestions?
