[Q] g2x root question - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?..........

I had the zipped file on root of my external SD card....went into recovery mode...factory reset.....format/system........Went I tried to installed from sdcard....it would start to say something like "opening package...etc....Then it would say like (bad). Aborted"
ANY ideas. Now I cant even return to stock (was on official 2.2.3 GB). When I try to reboot....the screen just flashes every few sec w/ nothing on screen.
I am able to go back to the clockworkmod (5.xxxx) tho.....

UPDATE: Ok I was able to get it back to a previous back up I had ( 2.2.2 ). But at least its now working.....want to get it to work w/ the mentioned ROM tho....
Download the rom again and check the MD5 sum before you flash...sounds like a bad download.
check the checksum against what or what do I look for? I see that all the ROMS have a series of #s and letters........What do I check for......?
cuz I have never been sucessfully flashed any rom....says the same thing.....can the zipped (rar'd) files be anywhere on the SD card?
anyone? I dont see any md5 checksum on the that ROM.....

[Q] How do I OTA update to the 2.3.5/413

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?

ICS Official On RAZR XT912

Install the ICS leak without Cheesecake and retain root
NOTE: Attempt this at YOUR own RISK.
That said, I have just easily installed the ICS leak (it is sweet), and retained root.
We have also confirmed thru multiple staffers you can fastboot back to .173
NOTE: We have no way of knowing if this will throw you off the official upgrade path.
Assume it will, so be prepared to fastboot back to stock if you upgrade now
All credit for the install goes to Vicious over at droidrazr.com
1) Download this torrent (LInk blocked till i get 8 post in this thread)
2) Make sure you have ROM Manager, ES File Explorer (Make sure root access and system writable are enabled in the ES file explorer settings), and have root access to your system but are on an otherwise stock COMPLETELY UNMODIFIED installation of 173. In ROM Manager, DO NOT INSTALL CLOCKWORKMOD. Just have the ROM Manager app itself installed.
2a) If you plan to have root after the update, make sure you have voodoo OTA Rootkeeper protecting your root before proceeding. (Install it, free in the market, open it and select protect root.)
3) Copy the 2 files from that torrent into your /cache folder on the root of your system (see the picss below, just press the indicated buttons in es file)
4) When the copy operation is complete, tap the zip file and select ROM Manager when it asks you what to use to open the file.
5) ROM Manager will automatically open and prompt you that a reboot is necessary to complete the operation. Hit OK/Accept.
6) The system will reboot and install the ICS leak.
REMEMBER Voodo OTA Root Keeper!!!
I would post link to the download but i need *8 post first so please help yourselves

Wrong CWM on Gtablet

I never noticed that CWM was different for 1.2 and 1.1. I currently have 1.2 and tired to install CWM which was the wrong one.
When I try to enter recovery, I get a message of " booting recovery kernel image"
I can turn it off and enter into the stock rom no problem.
Any help would be great to how I can undo this and install CWM.
Used the link for CWM from step 1 from this LINK
Thanks very much.
Tap UI Version : 1.2-5699
Kernal - 2.6.32.9-svn4979
Build - FRF91
Here is a link to a .zip I built for you. You will need to have root access for this.
fix-recovery.zip
Download this to your Gtablet and unzip it to /sdcard. Iif you can't make that work, download to your PC and unzip, then transfer the files over to /sdcard. Using a root file manager (I like ES File Explorer), move the file 'flash_image' into /system/bin, overwrite or rename the existing version if there is one, and change the permissions to make it executable (match the other executable files in the /system/bin folder). Then move the file 'cwm5502.img' into /system/etc/recovery (you might have to create the 'recovery' folder). Next, go back to /sdcard and change permissions on 'fixrecovery.sh' to make it executable as well.
Now open Terminal Emulator (install from the Play store or by other means if you don't already have it) and enter the following commands:
Code:
su
sh /mnt/sdcard/fixrecovery.sh
If the second command won't run, bypass the script by running this instead:
Code:
su
/system/bin/flash_image recovery /system/etc/recovery/cwm5502.img
That will install a version of CWM that is compatible with the 1.2 boot loader. Reboot and you should be able to enter the new recovery. Post back if you cannot get this to work for you, and we can try another way. This would be easier if you have ADB installed and working, but I assume most people do not.

Since you have the stock VS ROM, you'll have to use nvflash. See this thread.

Good try, but, there's no su on stock ROM; and the process to get one correctly installed is slightly involved.
The user will have to resort to nvflash.

Ok thanks, but I can not find the drivers for APX Mode, using Windows vista 32 bit?
Also just to make sure what Files would I need to use. Just want to make sure exactly what to do, and get it right.
Download the TeamDRH_350M_Prep.zip file from this post. It should have both the nVidia APX drivers and CWM-5.5.0.4 for a 1.2 bootloader (in part9.img).
Read the README file for the APX driver installation, but, don't run the NVFlash_gTablet.bat batch file. Instead, just write a new CWM using the commands in the link in my previous post.
EDIT: Note that you cannot install or upgrade the stock VS ROM using CWM. That can only be done using the stock recovery. For everything else, however, you can use CWM.
Feel like a total N00b :crying:
I have the drivers installed for AXB. I have downloads the zip folder with the img files and drivers etc. I renamed this folder to NVFlash for short.
Do I leave this folder on my laptop or put in on the tablet.
Could you please explain a bit more how to use the command window. I open it but cant seem to get it to work.
I have the folder I download unzipped and saved as C:\NVFlash
Not sure how to do step 2
2. Run this command to determine the partition no. of the recovery (SOS) partition--usually, it is 9: Open a CMD.exe window, then change into the directory containing both the nvflash.exe and the bootloader.bin files. Then run:
You have been very helpful thanks again.

It's meant to be used on an x86 system (desktop, laptop, ...) running Windows or Linux. You can't run .dll and .exe files--Intel binaries--on an ARM tablet, right?

Change to the directory containing the nvflash executable and bootloader.bin like this (only type in the stuff in bold):
Code:
[I]C:\SOME\PATH[/I]> [B]cd c:\NVFlash[/B] [I]Change to NVFlash directory[/I]
C:\NVFlash> [I] Note the changed prompt[/I] [I]now[/I]
After that, substitute C:\NVFlash\part9.img instead of C:\SOME\PATH\recovery.img in the given command line.
I understand I cant run the files on the tablet, just meant do I need to transfer any files to the tablet during the process or is it all done through the command window.
I have attached the command window. I typed cd c:\NVFlash and the directory changed to NVFlash.
Not sure how I substitute img 9 then?
EDIT* I got the p.txt file. How would I read this file?
Just looking to get CWM running so I can update to a new custom rom.

In that case, shut off the tablet; put it back into APX mode using Power and Vol [-]; then double-click the NVFlash_gTablet.bat batch file. It will do all the prep steps (including installing CWM) needed for a Jellybean ROM install. After the tablet boots into CWM, transfer the ROM install zip file onto the tablet and follow the instructions given in the ROM's first post to install the ROM.

Ah! You've got one of the screwey nvflash executables which produce a binary output. Ignore all this, then.

[Q] Hot to Root Lava A97

Hi,
I am Using LAVA A97 device recently launched. I need to root this mobile to apply some tweaks. I tried various methods like flashing the zip from the SD card and sideload. The error I got always is "Signature Verification Failed". I tried finding custom recoveries and even tried porting custom recoveries but all stopped at the boot image.
Please help me to root this device or port me a custom recovery. I will provide you the files you needed.

Please tell me the procedure to add su files in marshmallow system.img and flash it
Bro, I used to root androids way before, then I moved to windows phone and have just recently bought this lava a97. Although I can give you an easiest way to root a device, you can try it with this phone and let me know if it works.
Find a stock rom of any device you want to root, extract the boot.img (use cygwin if you are on windows), there will be a line "ro_secure=1" just change the one to zero, repack the boot.img and either reflash the entire modified rom or just the boot.img.
Then you can simply install super su and then any root checker app to see if the phone is rooted.
Although this method used to work flawlessly on indian branded phones running android 4 series but not sure it will work now, but it's worth a try.

Rooted phones use su binaries (small block of codes that perform a specialized function) which are granted to be used by any other app that requires them through superuser app. Just pushing in the superuser app won't give you root, you also need those binaries (which on various phones are transfered via adb or through zip flashing into the /bin directory)
---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------
You can do one thing, extract the stock rom, extract the system.img partition, and then copy the binaries directly to the /bin folder (you can lift those binaries from any rooting zip file from the corresponding bin folder), then copy the superuser app to /system/apk , repack everything, then edit the boot.img as I told earlier, then flash this modified rom onto the phone.

Try googling for cygwin, if you are running Windows 10 x64 bit, you can also enable bash for ubuntu... These tools will make packing, editing and repacking of the images easier, but am not sure how to flash the image again back onto the phone

I tried the above mentioned steps in my Ubuntu 16.04 with Android Kitchen and Superr's Kitchen. With Android kitchen, I unpacked the system.img and the kitchen made the boot image and made the ro.secure=0. Then I added the necessory files from @Chainfire SuperSU.zip as per the update-binary script mentioned and repacked system.img with Superr's Kitchen. When I flashed modified system.img and boot.img with flash tool.
The superSU app said that su binaries are not installed and it cant install them also it asked me to reroot the mobile phone.
I also tried with Dirtycow exploit also but not worked.
Mobile is running Marshmallow API 23
Can you make me a custom recovery. I followed the steps mentioned in this forum to port a custom recovery but it struck in the boot logo.
The Stock Firmware file Now I have in my mobile can be downloded from Google Drive.
Boot.img Recovery.img and build.prop file is uploaded as Zip to Google Drive
How are you flashing the files back to phone? What software you using? And maybe superuser cannot find the binaries bcoz maybe lava a97 picks it's binaries from someplace else (like maybe /system/bin)

Flashed with SPD upgrade tool.
The su binaries and apk files are placed as mentioned by chainfire in the update-binary provided by him for flashing the zip via custom recovery.
It told me to run su --install but the adb shell does not work after customising the rom
