I have a G2x with gingerbread 2.3.3
I got clockworkmod recovery using nvflash
I am trying to use these instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17398464
to root the phone.
On step 6 i'm not sure whether i should use the cd command or change the PATH
so i tried both
And on step 7, my cmd says adb is not a command.
I am sure that i got the directory correct, and the instructions says i don't need to install the android sdk.
And, the link here is broken:
"1. Download my G2X root package that includes necessary ADB files (Android SDK install not required) and unzip the contents. The package contains the latest versions of “su” and “Superuser.apk”.
http://www.mediafire.com/?6rdrdfxvdoq9nkv <download link for my root G2X package>"
Maybe that's why it's not working?
I just downloaded the zip file that was in the 9/11/11 update:
Root Zip for G2X: http://www.mediafire.com/?92qpr525ztblh8w
Please help,
Thanks a lot
g2x root
I tried that method last night, and all I did was flash the root zip using ClockworkMod Recovery, boot and voilà. I was running stock GB 2.3.3 prior to that.
Sorry if this may be a stupid question, but this is my first time rooting the phone...
How would i get the zip file onto the sd card without having a sd card adapter for my comp?..........

Hey so I am currently following this thread to upgrade my DX2 to the milestone X2's 2.3.6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542456
So I am following the steps and I am currently on the SBF leak for 2.3.4 and I am instructed to OTA update to 2.3.5/413.
My question is how do I OTA update to 2.3.5/413 from 2.3.4? Sorry this may be a dumb question
It's in my signature Q&A. Easy to read :
Start here
Use Root Explorer>properties to check that the md5s match. Rename the Blur.zip 1Blur.zip and paste it at the root of your SD removable card. Power off>Power on>as you see the Big M push the rocker down>keep pushing down 8 times>push up>you will see the green creature AND OF COURSE HE IS TELLING YOU TO PUSH THE ROCKER AGAIN but IN THE MIDDLE like BOTH AT THE SAME TIME! (rant off)>choose "apply update from sdcard" and it will let you pick.
Be prepared to zurgrush after which never works for me. Hence the VooDoo.
thanks for replying; that was very helpful! i know i sound like a noob, but my md5 sums do not match? i downloaded the md5 checker and checked the properties and they do not match from: BD244133906F6D0096BE4B6603A85332 <-- the md5 sum you had posted on your thread below the OTA download
But are you matching the ota 235.413.zip? Do Not match the blur.zip in side.

c418af644d7774a....26e1 for the blur.zip inside
hey I don't see that thread you are talking about? Also when I try to flash it I get an error 7. Do you know whats wrong?
---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------
and my md5sum doesn't match either... DO I have the wrong zip? and if so do you know where I can find the leak? I can't find another link that works.
In my signature link.
Thanks I couldn't find it at first because the post is kinda long

I just checked em all ok . Do not unzipp on pc use phone.
When I use android recovery it says E signature verification failed... whats wrong? and if i use bootstrap it doesn't do anything it seems stuck at installing. And am I supposed to unzip the update? I usually used just the zipped files to install?
You are on what version of GB and trying to flash what?
I'm on 2.3.4 going to 2.3.5
Yeah, im still having errors too. Like I did everything you said; but when i go to update it it fails in the verification. The zip "OTA 235.413" I check and md5 sum matches; then i extract all and then i move extract file to root of sd card. then i rename the zip inside of the OTA zip to 1blur.zip and then i turn off; boot phone to stock android recovery choose the 1blur.zip to update and then it fails in verification. im on 2.3.4
You keep extracting till you the blurMB870...ver#.bla bla..zip
I don't understand I have done this before and didn't have to extract anything and when I extract I can't extract anything else? and when I extract there is nothing to install.
Sorry
Ota 235.413 is a folder inside is :
Blur_Version.1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US.zip
Rename to 1blur...zip so it comes 1st when you are using stock recovery
should i be rooted or unrooted?
Too zurgrush or VooDoo. ZR NO rooting needed b4 ota. VooDoo need to save su backup so yes.
I'm still getting that error and I'm rooted on zergrush.
Must be on the 234 leak and 100% stock for the ota to take.
Ok but I still have the same problem. This is crazy could there be a problem with the zips?
Current state of phone:
bootloader = relocked tampered
S-ON
Hboot = 2.09.0000
radio = 1.12.11.1210
Phone has no OS/Rom all I have access to is bootloader and recovery TWRP
Unable to flash a rom in TWRP
Had freshly rooted replacement evo LTE (as of yesterday)
-unlocked HTCdev method
-installed superuser and gained root access
today, tried to install a custom sense based rom (located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712618 )
Aroma install was unable to set up permissions and install failed and dropped me into a boot loop
tried installing several other sense roms and CM10 with no success before realizing that TWRP was not able to mount several aspects such as Cache and other import parts.
unable to fix
have since:
-relocked bootloader
-attempted to run RUU.exe files with no success
-attempted to gain s-off to use viperRUU and got the error message "FAILED (remote: 43 mail version check fail)"
I am at a loss... could someone please help, if you need me to check anything please just let me know what you need and how to get it.
Since you are S-ON you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel and then the rom
Try MeanBean it is S-ON friendly it has a kernel installer
BTW you will have to unlock again

If it's not a huge deal I would just format both sdcards and start fresh.
To sideload
Go into twrp
1. Select Advance
2. Select ADB Sideload
3. Check the boxes to wipe chache/dalvik cache and swipe to begin
4. Re-name the rom zip something easy to type haha and put it in your android-sdk/platform-tools folder(or wherever you have your ADB and Fastboot located)
5. Open a cmd window from that folder and type adb sideload filename.zip
Once it's done sideloading it will flash the zip

Also what version of twrp are you using? I would suggest 2.4.1.0
get it here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
in bootloader, choose “FASTBOOT”, hit the Power button, then plug-in your microUSB cable from your phone to computer.
type "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.x.x.x-jewel.img" without the quotes and press enter (Replace the x's with the version you choose exp. 2.3.3.0)
Copy and paste is the easiest way to do this that way there are no typo's
Now type "fastboot erase cache" without the quotes and press enter

When i select choose form sdcard1 from main recovery menu, i get a wiping cache messages, and then it reverts back to the main screen, same when selecting internal storage.
When using TWRP from a different fasbooted kernel (AndroPlus Kernel for Stock FW / ROM), i get status 7.

I use Ad block so did not come with any issues, also never had a problem before today with go4up.

Hello XdaDevelopers :fingers-crossed:
I have a question..
One year ago I was trying to unlock my Samsung S3.. while doing it I plug-in my another phone Samsung S2 I9100 by mistake.. And installed something via Odin..
Now after 1 year of break I decided to try to recover my Samsung S2 cuz after this installation phone was unable to start.
So I started checking youtube etc, what to do.. ( I'm rookie so be polite )
I have found and downloaded Blazing Kernel v3. I was happy cuz installation completed positive ( I have no idea if I should install something else cuz it might be a problem right here)
Next step was to install TWRP
TWRP 2.8.4.0 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development/repo-kitkat-complement-recovery-t2776594
but its rar.. so I used website http://www.zamzar.com to covnert to tar.
Here you can see my TWRP tar and Odin program http://imgur.com/a/sDTku
as you can see its analyse all the time and nothing happens..
So I decided to create tar with only 1 img file.
Made tar from this https://eu.dl.twrp.me/i9100/twrp-3.1.0-0-i9100.img.html
But same, nothing happens just analyse..
I might not need TWRP or I need something else, I'm newbie so I have no idea what to do overall ;p
Can you guys give me some help? :good::good::good:
Preparing for a clean (with loss of data) installation LineageOS 14.1 + TWRP-3.1.0-0
1. In Odin3_v3.09 install as in the screenshot :
Pit file - I9100_1.5GB-System_6GB-Data_512MB-Preload_by-the.gangster.pit.zip
The kernel is - lp-kernel-14-03-CWM-for + ODIN.tar
2. Disconnect the phone from the PC, transfer it to the CWM recovery mode.
That there were no problems with the internal memory (SDcard0), we format it:
- mounts and storage -> format / storage / sdcard0 -> default
Do a full system cleaning:
- wipe data / factory reset
- mounts and storage -> format / system
3. In the recovery process, install the files:
- TWRP-3.1.0-0-recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-i9100.zip
+
- kernel-Lanchon-20160406-i9100.zip
4. Reboot and log in to TWRP.
5. Do not forget:
ROM - https://download.lineageos.org/i9100
+
OpenGApps - http://opengapps.org/
Good luck.

Don't worry, you are doing great work! I installed somehow. What next?
We have a problem with memory, do not mount it.
Let's start from the beginning.
Have you downloaded ROM from OpenGApps?

I was installing everything what you gave me. Nothing more.
Also I istalled wipe using custom install.
1. In Odin, install:

- lp-kernel-14-03-CWM-for + ODIN.tar

2. Disconnect the phone from the PC, transfer it to the CWM recovery mode.
That there were no problems with internal memory (SDcard0), we format it:

Do a full system cleaning:

TWRP-3.1.0-0-recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-i9100.zip

5. Reboot and go to TWRP.
