Thanks For Testing, I Changed The OP To Reflect Your Findings.
just wanna make sure before i do anything
IS this bootstrap app the one i need for recovery install
It's Called System Recovery.
So just to be clear. Now if I screw (soft brick?) my phone I can just use the 2.3.3 sbf and root that correct. Yay no more going all the way back. I can just root GB and restore my nandroid I made with eclipse Rom running.

Correctimundo.
I have had troubles running the script provided even the v7 that is posted now i have re-written the instructions and will compile an app later that can be run on windows to make sure the paths are all ok. Creating the local.prop file and not getting into the shell first was acting up on my XP box. I have a party to head out to but once I get back I will get the app written and tested again. Also I cannot take screens with drocap on the X2, I think it's a Tegra issue can anyone confirm or know of a screen shot app that works on Tegras
Just used AndroSS but it works without root on the X2 but at least i can get some screens of the terminal and a few other places now.
I'm Not Sure I'm Following, There's A Script With The 1 Click Program?
Yes there is a .bat file but running that did not work so I compared the steps and was looking over the command set and it was not properly sending the shell commands on my workstation. It may have been an issue with custom paths I run at the office. Could have been a windows version issue as well. If its written in vb.net I can call a vbscript to use send keys which will prevent that.

Ok so here goes...
After spending two days of installing Ubuntu on my pc, and getting dsixda's HTC Rom kitchen working on it, I'm having some troubles.
Now, I've searched this problem, and the ONLY two answers I've found don't work for me. My problem is that when I try to flash the Rom, I get E:"nameofthefile".zip can't open (bad)
At first I thought it may be my recovery. I (stupidly) used clockwork on my Eris for quite a while, but heard to stop using it. So I used the guide in the Eris dev section to safely flash from clockwork to amon ra... worked like a charm... but still the same error message.
I tried the Rom on my bros freshly rooted Eris (thanks jCases for the one click root app!) That's never had clockwork, only amon... still no go.
Then, I saw that it might be the fact that my SD card was partitioned, but it can't be that, cause my bros phone never had apps2sd or partitions and it didn't work.
So now, I'm out of ideas.. I've tried flashing this custom Rom on two completely different Eris, with the same error message. It's Conaps Eris Lightning 3.02. I got the kitchen cause I wanted to deodex the Rom. I've been talking to dsixda, and he suggested that I post here on the Eris forum. I've ran out of solutions, could ANYONE out there help? Any Eris users that have had this problem and know a fix? This post is my last hope
Also- since amon didn't work, I decided to try clockwork to flash. Same error message BUT Rom manager gave me an error log. Could anyone look over this and spot the issue/issues?

I recconend you use cygwin on Windows. Works like a charm for me. On ubuntu the only thing I can tell you is to reinstall the kitchen and put the files back in the correct folder.

Did you sign the ROM after using the kitchen?
Because it sounds like it's unsigned.
There must be a linux version of this (I'm using windows and mac os x together)

Well upon export of the rom, it says that it signs it, and the final .Zip is named "signed xxxxx.Zip. I do have windows tho so I'll give that a shot too. Thank you for the help

Hey guys, I'm another newbie who F'ed up their phone here to ask for help lol. I tried to do a restore using the system recovery and it froze, I did a batter pull and soft bricked it I guess. I tried doing a sbf, and I couldn't figure it out but my phone just randomly restarted and it seemed like the sbf worked. So I just tried to restore the data only in advanced recovery and I think it is frozen again. Can anyone please explain how to do a proper restore from the bootstrap recovery? Thanks,

I have an X2 that I went through the whole bootstrap, gingerbreak, upgrade to pre-root GB.
Now I have all that, Rom manager, CMR, Bootstrap installed, all those fancy programs, but when I try to use Clockwork Mod it just brings me back through the regular bootloop back to GB without even doing any update/flash whatever you might call it.
What am I missing here? Where is this magical step I am obviously overlooking? Sorry, yes I am a newb and now I want to try either eclipse(which is on my SD Card) or the CM7 nightlies...

As easy as flashing the preroot. Do the same thing with eclipse and viola.

No, but on a serious note, I already had everything but had CMR because I used to have a DX. I thought I read somewhere people saying "clockword mod this..." and assumed it would be the same one!

there is no cm7 nightlies for this bad boy so dont flash any of them lol

What error are u getting?
I will have to post it later when I get a minute to run through the steps again. I believe it was "E: Can't open.... Install aborted" something along those lines. Eclipse on SD card(if that makes a difference), just want to put as much info out as you guys might need to find my issue.

The sticky in the android dev subforum has links to all the tutorials. Regarding the error, are you downloading eclipse with your phone or a computer. If using your phone try using your pc with Firefox or chrome browser. If that isn't feasible, I downloaded mine from phone but I had astro file manager installed so the stock browser would download it. You can try that. Most errors of that nature are related to a bad download. The links are all verified, next logical step is to try a different download method

I also recommend the app download all files from the market. Works just fine for me
This will Achieve TEMP. Root.
I made this because I found it hard to find instructions.
I DID NOT MAKE THIS ROOT!
Download this Zergrush Root (mirror'd on my server) and extract somewhere where you can find:
http://www.guitarvideos.org/zerg.zip
1. Connect your phone to your computer via USB. Turn USB debugging on.
2. Download/install HTC drivers if they aren't already installed:
http://goo.gl/Rzauz
3. select HTC Sync When you plug your phone in. Charge Only may work for others, but HTC Sync is the only one that worked for me. Let windows install the drivers if needed.
4. Navigate inside the folder you extracted and right click on ZergRushTempRoot (.bat), and click Run as administrator. Then follow directions.
So if it's temporary root then what's the point of step 6?
Good point sir. Edited, and slapped firmly
Have you tried removing any bloat from /system?
you can temp root it and remove the bloatware, but it force re-dl's as soon as you reboot.

I bet that can be blocked. There must be an app or service running that needs to be killed.

I tried it with the htc sync method and it doesnt work. Couldnt use any root apps anyway so I guess temp root is useless.
It worked for me, but only until it rebooted. Installed MyBackup Root and was able to restore. Once I rebooted, it was gone. Are there there any scripts to uninstall the bloat apps??

Hello,

Thanks in advance!

Using ES File explorer. Setup up your root explorer. and change permissions by using tools to System R/W.
Use ES File explorer to open the stock download and navigate to system/build.prop Copy it. Go back to your system and Rename the one there to build.bak. Then paste the new one there. This way you have the original saved if it turns out not to be the build.prop. My guess is. If you are on a rooted, stock rom like you said. The build.prop's are going to be identical. Thinking the culprit might be whatever you are trying to Odin is bad.

So I pulled the build.prop from a stock image, but it turned out it perfectly matched one of my backups. (I had three backups, factory, factory that I played with, and OTA Stock). So in the end that didn't solve my core issue. At this point should I make a new thread with a more appropriate title or just continue this one?

alright, detail time!
I'm currently on 4.1.1 (I've applied one update after I bought it on release day)
I have an ota update (to what I assume is 4.1.2)
stock everything, locked boot-loader, but rooted (used Exynos Abuse)
using SuperSU
my phone lists update_SCH-I605_LL4_to_MC3 which fails to install with error code 402
my device status IS "modified" but it appears to be related to the SD card as it is "normal" when I remove it (apparently a known issue)
normally when I get an update I do the following:
1. restore build.prop
2. remove busybox
3. remove/disable any other apps that may have played with files that I think could cause issues
4. double check my root backup (Voodoo)
5. temp unroot
6. update
7. restore root
8. enjoy
this method usually works without issues :/
and the reason I suspected build.prop in the first place is that restoring it allowed me to update on another device.
I'd really rather not have to flash it back to stock, but if it's my only option, I will. So any ideas that don't involve wiping everything would be wonderful!

Really the only thing I have seen to update is to go completely back to stock.
But why do you want to do this so badly? Why not just unlock and flash the new update rom Beans provided? Thats certainly the easiest way to do it in my opinion, since you're having all these issues, and it leaves you unlocked in case you don't like one of the future updates or if you want to test out AOSP.

I rely on my phone a lot and so even the short amount of time it would take me to fix a soft brick, or reconfigure a wiped device would be a problem. I'm not worried about bricking it, I'm worried about the time it takes to fix it. I soft bricked my old X2, and it was a real inconvenience (granted that was the first time I'd ever had to fix something like that) and I had to restore my Transformer Infinity back to stock to fix lag and glitching issues. (which lead to a whole partial root fiasco). So It's not that I can't fix the problems, it's that it takes time I don't have, and disrupts my life. If I had another 4g phone (because switching between 3g and 4g is a pain on Verizon) that I could switch to if I messed up and didn't have time to fix it, I'd totally start messing with custom roms, unlocking, and all that fun stuff, but I don't

I rely on my phone a lot and so even the short amount of time it would take me to fix a soft brick, or reconfigure a wiped device would be a problem.

Well unlocking would let you go ahead and update and until you wanted to flash roms you wouldnt have to except for that first flash of the new update, which is what a stock update does.
The reason I say this is some people have had this problem and when they finally do get the update to work it soft bricks them. This is rare but it has happened. In the end for me it is just easier to unlock so I can play around when I want to and when I dont I can stay on stock.
