After flashing CWM tenfar's and going into android recovery I get the little green Android guy with an exclamation mark. Please help!
damn i just saw this the other day and thought i saw what the correct answer was. i think it means the flash didnt work and you need to do it again. wait for the proper answer.
Alright thanks for giving me hope that it can actually be fixed! What's the point of being unlocked if I can't get CWM anyway lol.

did u delete this file "install_recovery.sh" located in your /system/etc/before attempting to install Tenfar's CWM....if u didn't delete that file then that's ur error...delete that file and then reinstall CWM...and btw you would need rootexplorer to delete that file...make sure u turn on r/w button in rootexplorer.....
THAT WORKED!! THANK YOU! I deleted the wrong "install_recovery.sh" before. Using it to flash GB as we speak. Thanks again!

i dont know if this is in the correct section, but i REALLY need someones help. basically i rooted my friends phone, installed cwm recovery, and then i went to test cwm recovery to see if it was working ok,( i dont have the optimus v so im not too familiar with it) any ways, i couldnt figure which button was used to select an option in cwm. so i figured something went wrong when i installed cwm, i basically gave up and just did a factory resest from within the stock rom(not in cwm) forgetting you need stock recovery to do this. now it wont go to anything BUT the cwm recovery screen, i figured out the camera button is the select button, but i tried flashing a few roms via cwm, and when i reboot the phone it just goes straight to cwm recovery everytime..some one please help, i dont wanna buy him a new phone, im pretty sure this is fixable. if you can help, a big thanks from me

hello guys just had some questions about rooting. I have been trying to root my friends phone and i was able to get the s-off using rev but when i go to root checker its not rooted and i cant go back to stock need help asap
after you gained s-off did you flash the superuser file on revolutionary website

Correct. Revolutionary does NOT root your phone for you, however they do give you the flashable zip to root the phone.
You can find the zip here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
Look under the Common Problems & Questions section. A few lines down will be the link to download the zip.
thanks for the info if you can keep your ears on i may reply back with more question if it doesnt work

Not a problem. I'll check back soon. Should be straight forward and you shouldn't have any problems. Just put it on your sdcard and flash like any ROM
so i downloaded the file and tryed to load it but it says meta-inf and system and not else what should i do
Don't open the zip. Put the whole zip on the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash the zip.
ok ill try again but thats what i did if it doesnt work what else can i do to make it work
Hm... try redownloading it? Might be corrupt. Other than that I don't know, shouldn't have a problem with it. Thats the same zip I used to root my tbolt and I had no problems.
ok i just want to say thanks for all the info it worked

Hey guys, so I came home from work to find my girlfriend trying to root her vibrant as you can probably tell I own a Samsung Epic. I believe her phone is bricked and I can not get into download mode. I have watched numerous videos but all shows what to do when in download mode. I can't get past the screen with the exclamation point. Please help because I can't stop her crying. Thanks in advanced guys.

Also...while i have your attention lol...im going to try and root it this time! Do you guys believe that "eddie1west" on youtube is a good try to try and root the phone? He seems pretty legit. He has a video that shows me how to go back to eclair so i can root and a video that shows me how to root? Is this correct? Do you suggest someone else or another method? Thanks..

Also she is coming from froyo..
You can root it in froyo but the question is what do you want to do. If you are going to flash a custom ROM then you need to go back to stock (eclair). Either way, short fuse super one click is best way to get root. Google how to root vibrant with super one click, you should find files and directions. The update zip you referred to is directions to get CWM recovery.

You can download the Superuser.zip and/or the CWR zip from my signature.
If you are just going to root it and leave Eclair on there, then pull the Superuser zip from my signature.
If you are going to flash a custom ROM on there, then pull the CWR zip from my signature (but make sure you have already downloaded a ROM.zip to flash with this).
For Root. Put Supersuser.zip in your Internal_SD card and make sure it is named Update.zip and the only thing on there named that. Boot into recovery using the key combo (Volume +/- and Power, when you see Vibrant come up, release the Power button but keep ahold of the Vol+/-) It will boot into "stock" recovery. Scroll down to Reinstall Packages and hit it. Might have to hit it twice, then reboot. You should have Root.
For CWR/Custom ROM. Same as above only no need for the Root.zip. Find a ROM that you want to flash (make sure to read OPs) and download it and put it on a folder where you know it will be in the phone. Just put the CWR on your Internal_SD and again make sure it is named Update.zip. Boot into recovery, scroll down to Reinstall Packages, hit it. It will cycle through and the stock (blue) recovery will turn to CWR (green) and you can then scroll down to Install From SD card and find the ROM that you downloaded beforehand.
Some things. Booting into recovery isn't easy and can take you a few times to get it. Also you can root using Z4 app, but you'll have to find that on your own.

Good morning guys,
Im not even sure where to start because im just getting into programming. I just tried to root my HTC rezound last night, so I followed the tutorial to the letter. Everything went very well by all accounts, except after unlocking bootloader, pda net, installed superuser, but yet when I try to verify that I have root access the phone does not recognise the root. Does anyone have any ideas why this could be? Ill be more than happy to post whatever information you might need in helping me figure this little problem out.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure about a stock Rom, but I did a custom recovery and haven't touched s-on or s-off yet. I did unlock the bootloader and pda net using the walkthrough found at the htcdev.com /bootloader site. I don't know if I just need to find another walkthrough to finish the rooting process or if I'm way off here. The phone itself still works as good as ever so at least I didn't brick it. I feel like I'm close or at least on the right track.

pull your battery and re insert it.
hold vol down button and power until you get the white bootloader screen
The top should say unlocked in pink
if you have a custom recovery it will also say tampered in pink
since you are new and not sure, to continue we need to verify this
what does it say?

Doesnt matter what recovery. Just as long as it is a custom recovery.
@ajstipcak
Download/Flash this in recovery NOT FASTBOOT
http://download.chainfire.eu/333/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34.zip
Then install Busybox using this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
Inside the app choose /system/bin at the top checkmark replace all symlinks choose install then choose smart install.

Today i wanted to update twrp on my z2
When rebooting the twrp-light (green) went on, i tried to access it, but it skipped.
Then i tried to flash a CWM-recovery to reflash and restore the backup.
Now i cannot acces that recovery either. It skips, goes to boot-logo and bootloop.
Hope anyone has a clue what happends and can help me. @Envious_Data, do you have an idea?
