Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
you also have to delete the 'install-recovery.sh' file at /system/etc, don't forget that step!
what version of cwm?
One second...... might of jumped the gun here
i'm using 5.0.2.0 installed from Rom Manager. I've never heard of deleteing that file, unless you use Rom Racer.

I am using rom manager and i dont even get the option of backing up roms...nor the ability to turn off protection on packages ect..
i just tried deleting the install-recovery.sh (rather i renamed it, so i could get it back. And still no cwm after restart? Any other ideas? Did i do something wrong there?
ok...so nothing that you guys suggested works...I have no idea how to get CWM to work fully....now i am stuck with the lame motoblur...yay..
Are you guys 1000% sure you're rooted?
1000%, i have super user app, and i run titanium backup. Everything gets granted root just fine that ask for it.

strange thing happened. I deleted Rom Manager application. I redownloaded it. It already detected that i was on latest clockwork recovery 5.0.2.0, but i went ahead and flashed it anyways. I then restarted with volume down. I picked "Android Recovery" and it worked just fine. Booted right into cwm!!!! every subsequent time - it doesn't boot into CWM (it boots into what must be motorola's recovery menu).
Wow! That's so odd! I'm glad you found a way to work it at least once though, even if you have to reinstall Rom Manager every time to work it, hopefully this thread is still on page 1 when the experts wake up!
But that is going to suck if i have to reinstall it everytime to use it. i feel like if I can't get into from startup it would be too risky to put any rom on my phone. If i got into a boot loop or something, it seems like i would be so screwed.
After that file has been removed, reflash CWM and it should work. At least that's what got me going.
That did it. Delete the file then reflashed. Awesome. Thanks Guys!
I'm just a noob, mobileweasel helped the most (too bad i'm limited to 5 thanks a day, it's 1:18am here and i've used them up already )
I haven't even got the phone yet but i'm still trying to learn about it and hopefully, help others along the way too See you around!
Well guys the most i can say on this one is, I had somewhat the same problem my first time around. Except mine said, failed to boot 2 starting rsd mode.
the problem that i was having was that i hadn't unlocked my bootloader, which i found that if you want the most recent rom builds, you need to have an unlocked bootloader. there is a sticky for it in the android development section. still should be first thread. says Pudding.
take a look at that. as i thought i had everything ready to go when i got my atrix. i was wrong but a couple of the atrix guru's got me set straight and working with recovery and roms within ten minutes.
any questions, go ahead and PM me and i will give you what help i can. the atrix was the first device to elude me especially since now instead of tefnars recovery we actually have a full working cwm.

So for that, I thanked you ! That's what we are all here for anyway. I just happened to be a couple days ahead of you.
Ok I decided to post this because out of all of the phones I have rooted and flashed this had to be the most confusing... to many different options, and scattered all over the place.
I know some people are against making things easy for people but thats just not me and doesn't make any sense at all.
So here was my working method.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
ROOT download I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL.7z from here credit goes to Entropy512
How to Use:
Download the 7 zip package. Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory on your hard disk drive.
Start the Odin3 One-Click Downloader program by double clicking on "I777UCKH7 OCD No BL.exe" or "I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL.exe".
Now Enter Download Mode:
With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button).
When the warning screen appears, press Volume up to continue into download mode.
In Odin, the small edit box in the upper left corner will turn yellow, and say something like [0:COM8]. The number could be different.
Click Start. Watch the progress bar advance in green while the message box in the lower area describes the steps. When the flash is finished, the top left larger edit box will turn green and say PASS! and your phone will automatically reboot.
Unplug the usb cable from you phone after it boots up. Success.
OPTIONAL Unlock If you would like to unlock your phone for other gsm carriers. I have tested this on T-Mobile and it works. Once you are rooted and verified you have super user. Make sure you have busybox if not download it from the market. Also make sure you have a micro sd card installed.
Go to market and search for "Galaxy S Unlock", the author is "Helroz".
Run the app from step 2. Go to "Unlock SGSII" tab on the top of the screen.
Tap on the first item:"Step 1 Backup files...."
Tap on the second item:"Step 2 Change lock-bytes", and wait until your phone restarts.
Bingo, your phone is sim unlocked after the reboot.
Flash Clockwork
NOTE THIS METHOD WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY BY INCREASING THE PHONES FLASH COUNTER HOWEVER YOU CAN RESET IT USING THE NEXT STEP
You will need to download yet a different odin you can get that here
Download the attached Siyah rom since it is the only tar file I could find and odin only accepts tar files. This will flash a new kernal and clockworkmod. I attached this because it seems the link is dead.
How to use:
Start Odin
Now Enter Download Mode:
With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button).
When the warning screen appears, press Volume up to continue into download mode.
In Odin, the small edit box in the upper left corner will turn yellow, and say something like [0:COM8]. The number could be different.
Click the PDA button and browse to the Siyah Rom
Click Start. Watch the progress bar advance in green while the message box in the lower area describes the steps. When the flash is finished, the top left larger edit box will turn green and say PASS! and your phone will automatically reboot.
Unplug the usb cable from you phone after it boots up. Success.
Reset Flash Counter and remove warning triangle
I read that you need to be on an ICS rom for this to work. After flashing CWM I flashed F1 rom.
Download this apk TriangleAway v1.70 you can get that here
I have tested this and it does work, when I tested this my flash counter was at 3 now it shows Custom Binary Download: NO... also no more gti9100 with yellow triangle.
You should now be able to boot into clockworkmod recovery and be able to flash zip roms from your phone like normal "or like any other phone you have had that has had cwm installed".
DO ANY OF THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
I DON'T TAKE CREDIT FOR ANY OF THIS... JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT THERE This is just for anyone else who may be confused with the amount of links and scattered content just to root and get cwm installed.
bowenac,
Thank for creating the guide and for your willingness to help newbies. I wanted to mention, however, that there are some very important things newbie readers of this thread need to be aware of. The most important warning is that, from my understanding, following this rooting procedure will increase the flash counter in our phones. I am still very much a noob here but from what I have read our phones have a counter that is increased whenever you flash non-custom binaries into our phones. When increased, the counter will result in a yellow "warning" triangle showing up on your screen every time you boot the phone. An increased flash counter might also result in warranty service being denied.
There are ways of rooting and flashing that will NOT increase the counter, and a guide for that procedure is available in the forum. In fact, a number of step-by-step guides for rooting the SGS2 already exist. creepyncrawly, an extremely knowledgeable user here (in fact, I believe the one-click downloaders you used in your post were prepared by him), write a guide to flash custom binaries on your phone without increasing the counter. He also includes several of these guides in his signature... you can see it in his profile:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2916435
More info is available in the stickies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511999
When i first arrived here these guides were extremely useful to help me learn everything I needed to learn to root my phone and understand what I was doing. I see the attractiveness of a "one click solution", but I, for one, would much rather understand exactly what I am doing to my phone before I do anything to it. I was an extreme noob when I got here when it comes to Android, but tehguides were a great reference, and also pointed me out those things where I needed to read more to understand what I was doing.
Really?
I had absolutely no trouble finding what I needed on here. The search button is there for a reason. The first day I had my s2 I used creepy guide and had no problems whatsoever. This phone is waaaayyy easy to flash, just like my old Samsung was. Don't expect to find everything in 5 minutes, it takes some time to get it right man.
Haha, you guys should lay off the OP, he's obviously done his research and accomplished the "simple" stuff. Some of this can be fine tuned to a particular case. I used this tutorial and it was easy, easier than sifting through the other stuff. Spoon fed or not, some people don't have the time to dig deep and learn every dam thing about it. MEAT AND POTATOES, GENTS.
If you all want to make hard tutorials, be my guest, if you have the time. As for most adults, this stuff is merely hobby/entertainment. If you make money doing this stuff then shut the F up and rake it in, otherwise can it and move on to the next tutorial.
ONWARD OP, ONWARD!

I guess my keep clean was a little VAGUE. Stop posting your opinions on easy development. The op has taken the time to make a nice and easy tutorial. And 90% of the posters here harass and give their opinions on what xda should do and etc etc... it just goes on and on.

Well you can still add your ROM to your internal storage and flash from there. Also it is supposed to go back to GB but you are going to flash a ROM so it doesn't matter

i dont know how to get to recovery without going thru the the cwm app. the only instructions i can find are for people with a dedicated home button
Don't worry about incrementing the flash counter if you are planning on upgrading to at least android 4.0.x. chain fire has created an appavailable from the play store that can reset your flash counter back to 0 if you are rooted and running at least ics. It works awesome and is well worth paying for.

Hey, thanks for the help as I am a little confused also. I have a few questions.
I am on stock gb 2.3.6 uckk6
1- will I lose all my data after flashing "I777UCKH7 OCD No BL.exe" or "I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL.exe".?
I can't use tbackup yet as I am not rooted. Do I just do the backup after I flash and before the unlock?

Uh, there is no CWM app? If you're using one, get rid of it and stop using it!
Hold all three buttons (vol up, down, and power) until you see CWM recovery (it'll show the Samsung Galaxy S2 boot screen twice then go into recovery, you can let go when you see it the second time).
Hello all,
I have been reading on here for days now and trying to figure out the easiest way to root my phone.All i want is root no custom roms or anything right now.I found a couple different methods but then they say it wont work with ics then some say there phones wont boot up and all these different things.
So i thought i would post this question here to get a perfect answer for my direct question.
I have a telus note that is updated to ICS and i would like the most simplest EASIEST root.
Could someone please post and let me know what way to go and a link or info detailed on how to do it so i dont mess things up.
I have always been use to rooting with one click lol so this is basically new to me.
Thanks in advance!

Well thank you very much sir. I had that page already booked marked from awhile ago and thought it sounded good but wanted to see if there was a better way or easier way.
I ended up trying to do it last night after i saw your post and it went actually pretty smooth.Didn't think it would be so easy lol.
I do have a couple more questions now.
if i ever want to return phone back to stock how would i do that?
I want to remove the junk stuff that came with the phone with titanium is there a list for a telus note that can be safetly removed?
I read to do a phone backup incase i remove something and phone crashes. What program would i use to make a complete back up?
Thanks again!
If you followed the steps in the link you should have CWM recovery. Boot into recovery - power plus volume held at same time then release power when you feel vibrate or download quickboot or download rom manager - then do backup. If you ever have a problem you can go back to the point if your last backup.

Ok i did the volume plus power and then selected backup.Is there a way to save the backup to the external sd card?
Also do i just download the rom manager from the market place?
Hey guys another question here. After rooting now when i use my note as a hot spot my laptop says im blocked by a firewall...For example a download program i use i have a red circle saying port blocked.
Also i was getting 10MB connection and now when i test its like 2-3
Rooting should not have affected youir wifi at all. What is the app? Try rebooting your router?

Hey people.
I rooted my ANDROID HTC ONE from T mobile, using a guide I found on here and the all in one toolkit.
I am using TWRP newest 2.5.0.0, I can access the bootloader and recovery, and have been sat here now looking for answers for about 5 hours.
It freezes on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
Also says that there is no OS installed.
I am looking for help via TEAMVIEWER, or someway to get my phone working.
If you need more information please let me now ASAP so I can give it you.
UPDATE: Okay people I successfully installed the XenonHD ROM and it is now stuck in bootloop i have tried clearing the cache and it doesn't do anything, this is the only ROM that is currently working.
I have searched the net searched the post and still nothing.
I am almost got my phone back guys and am willing to DONATE or repay the favour via modding something through XBOX or whatever I can.
Please contact me soon as possible.
I am still on TEAMVIEWER.
Changed my recovery to ClockWorkMod Touch.
Still need help?

There have been a lot of posts on similar issues. You can "sideload" a ROM via ADB commands from your computer. If you can get into recovery, your phone can be fixed. I haven't done this myself (still stock), but do a search on google or xda on sideloading a ROM from ADB.

Did you clear the cache? Also, I've seen some people have to format the partitions.
EDIT: But formatting does not seem to be needed if you sideloaded successfully.

Sorry, I've not even rooted my phone, and I would not want to use your device as a learning tool. Let me look around and see if I can find a nandroid backup.

You have to be careful with No o.s installed .
Normally if u reboot when u see that you'll brick.
Without a o.s you have no bootloader..
I bricked my s3 and had to jtag it when it said no o.s I rebooted and black blank screen nothing.
I've had this happen also when choosing format system and format data /media some reason it botches the boot up .
My only fix was to sideload a rom or wipe factory and restore a nandroid .

So going to check again inabit.
After all that did you try erasing cache one more time? Maybe through recovery or fastboot?

my recomendation is that you get s -off and supercid asap so next time you run into a similar problem you can just install any ruu(note only do this if your phone has no official ruu) and work it out from there.

What you need to do is this exactly .
Dload a rom on pc reboot recovery on phone first .IMORTANT FIRST FORMAT SYSTEM.
Then when that's done choose factory reset.
Rename the rom to Rom.zip or anything you want but make sure it says.zip
Sometimes sideload won't work if roms not renamed , that's mentioned in another thread about sideloading.
Then sideload the rom
Let it load and install .
When it reboots itl take a while .
I just did this to my HTC one the other day after I got stuck after formating data media .

What you need to do is this exactly .
Dload a rom on pc reboot recovery on phone first .IMORTANT FIRST FORMAT SYSTEM.
Then when that's done choose factory reset.
Rename the rom to Rom.zip or anything you want but make sure it says.zip
Sometimes sideload won't work if roms not renamed , that's mentioned in another thread about sideloading.
Then sideload the rom
Let it load and install .
When it reboots itl take a while .
I just did this to my HTC one the other day after I got stuck after formating data media .

Yeah my phone is currently working now, but I have no play store nor do I now if my phone is rooted.
I have a custom ROM on it XenonHD. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290785
That one.
Just currently trying to get to grips on how to work it and that.
I can't download the playstore because it says it is currently installed but it is nowhere to be seen.
long story short
htc desire 610, rooted, bootloader unlocked
needed to bypass safetynet
used magisk 12.4 worked fine, new update came
magisk no longer worked, forced me to update
update bricked my phone, bypassed this by reflashing rom in recovery
researched why new magisk update was being stubborn, one suggested updating my TWRP to latest build
updated TWRP, flashed the img while in recovery, ended up putting recovery into my boot (following a guide and wasnt paying attention)
phone now stuck in bootloop, can only go in recovery
wiped and formatted everything, decided to use adb sideload as its worked wonders for me before to try and put my rom back in
adb sideload wont detect phone, after many troublesome hours i decided to follow yet another guide i found about installing a RUU file into my phone to recover
followed guide step by step, turns out htc phones need bootloader locked, wasnt mentioned in guide

please help....
ive read many pages about similar issues, some saying boot into fastboot, some saying "just type in cmd prompt" with an attached line of code... others saying "its easy just unlock your bootloader" but what i dont understand is how i can do this??
update: can get back into TWRP not sure what i can do from here as i dont have an SD card reader to transfer files just a usb and a phone with no OS

Can't help with the issue but, the waiting on battery to die issue you can press and hold power button for 8 seconds to force it to turn off

this worked, i must of given up at exactly 7 seconds lol
dumb question but with all these programs ive downloaded tonight ive just about given up
if i factory reset my phone in android recovery mode (not TWRP, the one with the 4 androids) on a phone that doesnt have an OS installed there isnt some miracle chance it would revert to stock rom would it? the only thing on my phone is TWRP and i was using CM12 before everything spiraled out of control
update - phone can access TWRP so im back to square one, i tried RUU i tried adb sideload and i also tried the folliwing programs
sdkmanager
SP flash tool (cant be used with htc)
windroid toolkit
USDDeview
ODIN
i just want to start over and try again but i cant seem to fix this
No, factory reset just reinstalls the OS that was on the device. If you brick the device it doesn't have an OS to reinstall.
Unfortunately, I can't help you very much as I wasn't able to fix my Galaxy S4 that was bricked trying to unroot as my carrier data was slow and I couldnt find the series of files including Bootloader and OS that I used on my Galaxy Discover that fixed it (obviously galaxy s4 series of files) as Odin will flash stock os and with some work around flash custom os.

The power reset is 6-15 seconds on devices but stock Android has included this feature since Android 4.0 at the earliest that I know of

its all good i feel like theres hope now that i can get back into recovery, tense moments such as these means id prob never of held down that button for more than 7 seconds to begin with and id still be stuck from RUU mode atleast.
just wish i knew how to get adb sideload to work its worked in the past but i cant get it to detect and the guide im reading says i have to use SP flash tool but i cant use scatter files on an htc phone.

I don't really know adb very much as I haven't really had much experience with it.
Will probably be picking up a nexus 6 and rooting it since those are 100% stock Android and are easy to root and unbrick etc I will definitely be getting more experience with adb and root

Did you try to root your only phone, that's a very bad idea

ive rooted before, and since its rooted its easier to recover in circumstances such as these
the magisk update is what started it, old magisk stopped working and it forced me to update and that caused everything to spiral out of control

That's why I try to have multiple devices to use

back to square one, new magisk update came out today which claims to not brick phones... still bricks mine
i guess thread closed. nobody here and every 2 hours i come into a different problem so ill just keep toying with it
if anyone cares, my current issue is that i cannot flash the current TWRP it always results in a bootloop im currently using an older build and ive been told that i need the newest TWRP for the newest magisk build
