I installed Gingerstreak 2.4.4 a couple days ago and so far so good. Only problem is I can't reinstall my corp email app (Good for Enterprise) because my device shows up as "rooted". Is there a way to "unroot" the device without downgrading?
Run gingerbreak, it can unroot if you're already rooted
Cool thanks. I'm having trouble running Gingerbreak but I think I know the fix. Just have to wait until I get home so I can plug it in and work on it.

Well I heard that android 2.2 was available with froydvillian ect, so i decided to update to that, i followed the steps of installing villainrom first which was successful.
I then went onto installing froydvillain 1.5 the same way but was unsuccessful on many times (just got stuck on the hero screen).
I then decided that I'd just stick with the orange firmware so used the update on the PC get android 1.5 on.
I then was going to update the 2.1 but could get the usb to work, and it wouldn't mount to the pc. I then downloaded the update through mobile web and it installed.
Now my problems are that i cant download from android market.. "Download unsuccessful", aswell as not bieng able to sign into facebook ect.. I am signed into google. I have factory rest the phone to no luck, and cannot reinstall the firmware from the pc as im getting the usb error.
Help please?
New error, my phone says its got 50% bettery, the update on the pc says its got less than 30%.
I believe it has nothing to do with the ROMs. Me, as well as 3 or 4 of my other friends have the same problems today with the Market, some of them use the stock and others, including me, custom ROMs. I guess Google's doing some maintenance or something... I don't know why Facebook doesn't work, though.
its google issue
i have the same problem, but its good to know that its a google problem...i was a little panik rightnow cos i just flashed a new rom =)
Hi
so today i updated my vibrant to 2.2
my phone was rooted before and had oclf
and i read somewhere that i need to unlag fix and uninstall EXT2 Tools
however i did uninstall EXT2 but i could not do that for lag fix saying that i don't have lag fix and i can't even install it when i already did but anyway
i think that was because i rooted my phone before and did the lag fix and factory reseted it without removing lag fix
anyway this is where the question comes out
so i have got 2.2 froyo and when i open up it says that
my phone is unrooted but it is rooted my tethering works and stuff that i need rooted phone.
plus.. this is even more serious my flash player doesn;t work...
i thought it will work..
i tried to download app for flash 10.1 still doesn't work...
what should i do?
btw i did my update through kies mini
didn;t flash rom
oh and one more problem...
i just noticed that
i have battery reminder
and i just found out that when i turn my wifi it says 4h 43 86%
and when i don;t turn on wifi it says 18h 55 86%
isn't that way too much?
my phone has problem?
i am not sure if i had this problem when i had 2.1
just noticed it
and one last thing what is good voice search and voice text
i saw someone with super good one that they say it really fast and picks up everything
when mine .... doesn't really pick up when i even talk slowly

1. If you successfully updated through mini kies, then it does not matter if you were rooted etc before - the update should have taken you back to a TMO/Samsung approved config.
2. Tethering (and some other stuff) is enabled in 2.2 without being rooted - download titanium backup from the market and try running that - it will fail if you're not rooted.
3. Flash 10.1 is installed with 2.2 - what exactly are you trying to do that makes you think it isn't working.
4. Wifi does suck juice in the new implementation (on my phone anyway), I only tried it once to verify it's working so can't help with any extra config options.
5. Can't help. sorry.
Hi I have an unrooted. Xperia play and despite several attempts to root I've had no luck I tried doing thd "unlock bootloader and flash software but lost signal and constant force close, then I tried a OTA update and bricked but Got it back on all working and tried Gingerbreak but just get constant swirling circle then I tried z4 and it just kicks me out of the App after running it for a few minutes. Is there any easy way to root, along the lines of z4 idea. any advice would be great thanks in advance.
My nook was rooted through indirects first method then one day it was gone. I was still on 1.4.0 but i lost all my G apps, keyboard, etc. So i tried to restore it using the nookunrooter.apk and that didnt work. so i tried the acclaim_update and that didnt really work. it went through the processes but it was exactly the same when it was done. i tried the power button and n button 8 times thing then reinstalled supperuser and nookunrooter.apk but i get the same issue... any ideas
So help me understand where you are right now with this. You are still rooted correct? Can you verify this via superuser?
As for your software version, are you are still on version 1.4.0 or did you update to 1.4.1/1.4.2? Please report the version you are currently on.
You said you tried to reboot with the power and N button, do you or did you have clockworkmod installed at some point? The Power and N button will only work if you are trying to boot into a modified bootloader.
i used this and it fixed it.
I have had my Droid Incredible 2 rooted for several months now and have not had any issue. I do not have a custom ROM, just rooted to mainly use the wifi tether app, among other things.
Today, the phone shut itself down and attempted to install a software update. The update stopped after about 2 seconds and switched to the droid with the exclamation point (guessing error) and stayed there until I popped the battery out and rebooted it. Each time I boot the phone, however; it goes through this same process, so my phone is essentially useless at the moment.
I assume the upgrade is not working because of the root. If that is so, how do I go about correcting this problem.
Any input will help. Thanks!
