[Droid 2 Global General] dang24bryant:
somebody help me how to root droid 2 global. Thanks so much.
[Droid 2 Global General] Angdroid:
search for z4root. One click app that runs on your phone. Can't get much easier than that :)
[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
Rooting the droid 2 global is just like rooting the droid 2 the droid X. So any methods for rooting those will work for the D2 G
[Droid 2 Global General] botnryan:
not true. i tried many many many of the d2 root methods and none of them worked on my d2g. only thing that worked for me was z4root.
[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
They all employ the same exploit afaik so they will all work. Please correct me if z4root does something else entirely.
[Droid 2 Global General] botnryan:
its not that, its the way the d2g's usb connection stays inactive when adb resets in the middle of the process. regular d2's dont do that. im not sure what causes it, but its what always messed up regular d2 root methods on the d2g.
[Droid 2 Global General] Aaron1017:
EXACTLY! Hopefully the on-phone method works still!
[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
It should as many have rooted and flashed ROM and one may have even soft bricked because you guys don't have the sbf yet.
[Droid 2 Global General] Aaron1017:
I was successful using a terminal emulator on the phone running the same steps! Seems with the D2G the ADB connection never resets and allows a computer to connect again.
[Droid 2 Global General] Vexorg:
I just got a droid 2 global as well, i used z4root also worked like a charm.

Confirmed: the process for rooting the d2 doesnt work for d2g.
[Droid 2 Global General] Aaron1017:
It DOES work, you just have to do it on the phone instead of adb through computer.
[Droid 2 Global General] GuessBoy:
Droid 2 Global

I just got one of these phone i bought it from Motorola directly and thought it would come unlock but in vain its not the case :(

Anyone know how to get it unlock? I've called verizon but they ask me for a phone number which is under their line but then i'm not in USA.

So anyone know any possible solution for me to get it unlock?
[Droid 2 Global General] firebrain:
Update ?

Does the newest OTA update break the root?
[Droid 2 Global General] Scott5877:
Yes, it did for me.

I used z4root to root.

After the update I tried su in the terminal emulator and got 'permission denied'. Wireless tether also did not work; no superuser request.

Running z4root again after the update fixed it and restored root access.
[Droid 2 Global General] haftrack:
Z4Root Temporary Root

Has anyone successfully used the Temporary Root option from Z4Root on the D2G?

I already got the OTA update from Verizon for the latest update. I would just like to do a temporary root to remove all that crap Verizon installed on the phone.
[Droid 2 Global General] tonyd0528:
My phone is not letting me download z4root.zip

How else can I get this phone rooted? I have the D2G.
[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
The stock browser (the one you're using right?) doesn't like to download things unless there is a program that uses that filetype/file extension (i.e. .zip) so if you download a file manager explorer that can manipulate .zip's like Astro or something then you should be able to download it. Or you could always download it from your PC (or mac if that's your fancy) and put it on your sdcard from there.
[Droid 2 Global General] Dark Cricket:
i use z4Root v1.3 and it`s work for me, and have the option for un-root, it`s easy ..
[Droid 2 Global General] The Robot Cow:
yup Z4root is what i used on my d2g and it was simple as 123

and it even has an -un-root option which is handy
[Droid 2 Global General] MojojoM:
So... let me show my ignorance. I have downloaded Z4Root 1.30 to my Droid 1. I have seen several tutorilas that mention a backup. several suggest Droid X Recovery or Droid 2 Recovery by Clockwordmod. When I go to teh market to check out Droid 2 Recovery it says I need to be rooted first. What happens if the root goes bad and I don't have a pre-root backup?
[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
It's ok there is no way to make a pre-root backup. There is almost no way to mess your phone up during rooting especially with z4root. Things get screwed up when people get too tweaky after they have root access. Root, make a backup and you'll be fine. If you do get crazy just flash the SBF and you are okay again. Definitely read up on sbf before you have to do it. It takes the stress off because you should have an idea of what to do before hand.
[Droid 2 Global General] Hoopdy:
not working

I recently got the d2 g and z4root isn't working do to the fact it wont let me side load it even though I enabled unknown apps so what are my options at this point?

z4root stuck in process

Hello all, I have been reading threads on this all over the site. I just bought a droid 2 global yesterday, and finally got z4root installed, however when I attempt to root, it gets stuck in the cycle process and just says "Running exploit in order to obtain root access". Multiple posts have said to remove my battery and re-boot and try it again. I have done this countless times since last night. I have even gone as far as to uninstall the program, reinstall, and attempt again. Still no luck. Anyone know what the problem might be?? Thanks!
[Droid 2 Global General] :
Use SuperOneClick. I'm attaching it to this post.
[Droid 2 Global General] Techjj:
How can I find the z4root thing
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Usually by searching on XDA site :)
[Droid 2 Global General] Lucyred:
trying to download z4root

found the app ~ thank you! but even though I have allowed download application from unknown sources on my droid 2g, it will not allow download of this. I get a msg that says "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone."

Obviously I am a newbie at this and would appreciate any help ~ thanks!!:eek:
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
z4root doesn't work for Gingerbread.

Use DROID3 One-Click Root, or Pete's Motorola Root Tools.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
I used the Do-All One Click by psouza4, on my Droid 2g

worked great
[Droid 2 Global General] cyrus1134:
D2G

so i am using the Z4Root and this does not seem to be working on the phone and I have a system of 2.3.4. any ideas?
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Repeating (this must be the 50th time), z4root was designed for Android 2.2 (Froyo).

2.3.4 is 4.5.629. There are no direct root methods available for 4.5.629.

Refer to:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23207-how-to-sbf-unbricking-root-d2g-629/

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/27387-ne...-cd-for-629-updateezsbf-method-d2g-a956-only/
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
most be more than that now
[Droid 2 Global General] Nooka Nooka:
is the update to .629 (or whatever the almost unrootable one) automatic? like will it update as soon as i go back to stock or do i choose? ive been thinking of switching from miui to cm7/9/whatever again but i dont want to go back to stock if it will automatically update and not allow me to root it leaving me stuck stock. any help would be great
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
you will get popups, about the update

eventually after a few, it will try to install

if rooted you can stop updates,

Rename /system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.apk to BlurUpdater_VZW.apk.bak. Rename /system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.odex to BlurUpdater_VZW.odex.bak.

then wipe cache in recovery
[Droid 2 Global General] Nooka Nooka:
but you think i'd have enough time to flash cm or some other rom after sbfing back to .608 without getting the auto update?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
yes, just don't leave it alone for too long

or don't think that shutting it off, will stop update,

as long as the battery is in it, the phone can turn back on
[Droid 2 Global General] Nooka Nooka:
you better be right or consider yourself sued! just kidding thanks a lot for the help haha
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterMonitor:
Hello, im recovering apps+data , but on few apps im getting an error :

Parse error

There is a problem parsing the package.

Whats wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Try restarting and restore again. This seems to happen when the connection has been interrupted.

What ROM are you running?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterMonitor:
ROM when i made backup was defrost, now when im restoring in oxygen ROM
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
I found some info that this happens to pre-Froyo ROMs and a parsing error is caused by a corrupt download or a backup.I think that a change in the name can also cause it (e.g. AndroidApp.apk and AndroidApp1.apk)

Have you tried the tip in the above post?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterMonitor:
Yes i did reboot, but there's still is an error
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Well sorry then. The only solution I can think of then is, to restore the nandroid, make a new TI backup and flash Oxygen again.

Edit: See this also from the TI page http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=TB+-+Troubleshooting error 4 is your case.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterMonitor:
you now , something is wrong with my backup , because i just restored Igo navigation, it doesnt work(i installed it from apfk file and it works)... , I had mixzing full version, now its not full. Bad backup or mabe something wrong with rom ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterMonitor:
i didnt have a busybox when i did the backup. Is busybox neccesary for backup ? Where i can get it ?

Thanks for answering. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Well as you saw according to their official page it causes the parse error.

And if you look at the 6th item in the link it's shown how to get it.

Oxygen ROM seems to have busybox. But you need it before doing the backup. As you said your backup went pretty wrong. So again maybe you should use your nandroid to backup and then install busybox, make a backup from Titanium, flash Oxygen and try to restore the TI backup.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterMonitor:
nandroid ? i just have a backup made with clockwork recovery .
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Yeah that's the one.

Just curious if anyone has tried one of these or how well/poorly it may work for games and such? Been fooling around with a hand full of games, but on screen controls are terrible..

Does anyone know if one of these (appears in my attempts to only be one, which claims to work only for nokia phones??) things works? Or of any game controllers I could get that would work?

Do games have to be compatible with whatever controller I would get? Are there any other bluetooth game controllers that might work? Does anyone know which if any emulators are compatible with any sort of controller?

Anyone with thoughts or ideas on the subject?

I'd appreciate anyone giving some reviews about it if they have it working on any android device.

If you used the sbf, you will need to re-root the phone. You erl still have the icons and applications, but they won't run because the sbf overwrites your root access.

[Hero CDMA General] geekvideo.org:
If I work the magic to get my hero on Boost which I won't discuss here, would I be able to use CM6 Roms or will I have to use a non sprint rom with boost?

Thanks for a great community.
[Hero CDMA General] TpyoKnig:
I don't believe any rom will make a difference, as long as your EPST settings (within ##3282# are correct, you shouldn't have a problem :)
[Hero CDMA General] BuddahWolf01:
while that may be true, to get to those ##3282# settings, you will have to use a stock based rom such as FRESH. CM6 does not support those codes, that is why when activating a phone you have to flash away from CM6 while changing things because you cannot access those areas. After you get it working though, as tpyoknig said, it shouldn't matter.
[Hero CDMA General] geekvideo.org:
Yes I am aware I will have to restore my original 1.5 nand to change the settings. I just wanted to make sure flashing back to CM6 or any other rom would not cause problems. I did not think that it would, just wanted to be on the safe side. This is my first bout with changing a phone to another carrier, I have read the Tutorials enough I could recite them in my sleep.

Thanks for the replies.

If anyone knows how to make a UNIVERSAL CARRIER ROM without any attachment to Sprint, definitely let me know! Thank you!

EDIT: I have a Hero CDMA working on Verizon service and I got rid of the "always roaming" with a modified PRL I found at the PPCGeeks forum. Message me for details

[Hero, G2 Touch General] petsasj:
Hey there fellas.

Last few weeks i had a problem with my HTC Hero screen not being very responsive. So i went ahead and tried to fix it myself, following the suggestions from the forum thread, especially as I didn't want to lose root. Anyway, long story short, in the process of clamping it and applying pressure to the spot that it was supposed to, my camera lens cover (the glass/plastic bit) broke. The camera is working, it's just the window that's broken.

After all i took it to be serviced at the manufacturer, trying to say that the camera was broken from the start (yea i know :P). Today they informed me that the cost to replace the camera is 140 GBP (125 euros). So what i'm trying to do is replace it myself.

I read the service manual and watched the videos in a thread found here, and being an electrical engineer myself, i feel pretty confident i can tackle that task.

Now comes the bit, though, that i need your help. I have found this replacement OEM camera module here. This is not an official HTC part, however and i'm really not that fond of it.

After struggling for sometime, i thought of buying a HTC hero sold for parts, but most of them are Sprint ones. Does anyone know if the GSM and CDMA versions of the camera module are different?

Also, one last favor, could someone please call their local HTC office and ask them how much the camera is going for there? Just the camera alone (excluding labor) costs 70 euros here. I currently reside in Greece and would very much like to compare, and if the price is ok, possibly buy from another country's HTC dealer.

Hello,

I upgraded to Froyo last week, and hadn't had any problems until now. Yesterday when I had my bluetooth hooked up to the phone, it all of a sudden disconnected, which has happened many times before when the phones battery goes dead. So, last night I plugged into the wall to charge it, and this morning I wake up to the screen constantly flashing on and off (showing the black startup screen that says "Galaxy S I9000 Samsung".

I've tried plugging it into my computer, plugging it back into the wall charger, and booting into recovery mode, but all it does is show the battery charging screen momentarily (batteries shows to have no charge it whatsoever), and then switches back to flashing the startup screen.

Can someone please help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,
