If that's even available.. haha
I'm a bit of a noob I suppose. I have no pc and want to get root access by flashing cmw in stock recovery. But I get signature verification error. Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks

You need a computer the first time you root your device. There's no way around it.
I did it on the s2 first time.
Ah well. Guess il have to wait...

Can't you use a friend's PC ?
It's somehow hard to imagine that you got a 600$ smartphone but have no access to a device running Windows, Linux or MacOs and which got a USB-Host.
Note that PC doesn't have to equal Windows, even tough it makes life easier.
The screen on my laptop is smashed.

So a buddy of mine at sprint had a customer put a lock screen on the phone. Is there anyway to bipass this?

Go into settings and go to security. Does he know the password or code?
It's locked outta the phone. Can't get into it to do anything

Then your going to need to do the RSd update on it erase the the lock on it.
I figured.

its not that hard at all. just use a 32bit os atleast. 64bit os sucks trying to get it to work. then just aio root and your good lol
Boot into recovery and wipe date. Works with stock recovery too. Idk about the phonton but it has worked on my last 6 androids that were different makes and models.

Hmmm.....done it numerous times off my 64bit laptop without any issues. First time every time. Think as long as peeps are using the correct drivers it should be a non-issue.
I'm on a 64 bit OS too and never have any issues.

I was trying to install something in BSR and ended up seeing what all the settings did. Now I realize this was a VERY bad idea. My phone only turns on when connected to the charger or pc. I cannot get into RSD to SBF...that is like all I know how to do in case of emergencies. Anyways I can press up for fastboot or down for nvflash...both of which I have no idea how to work and stuff. Plus all I have found on nvflash is with tablets! Is there a way to get out of this or do I need to play dumb and hope I can get a new phone at VZW? Thanks for trying to help in advance...I dont even have the 10 posts to ask in the development forum.
This forum is fine. Fastboot is used to flash. I'm sure since you van get into fastboot there is something you can do. I don't know enough about it to help too much though. Can you get into adb?

Most likely not. Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge than I drops in. What exactly did you do in the recovery? Were you formatting partitions?

Hey every one. My laptop and desktop decided to crap out at the same time. So I was wondering if there is a way for me to unlock the photon via the hd dock or via the phone without needing a pc. I'm already rooted but it seems pointless to have root if I can't even flash roms. On my Evo 4g I was a flashaholic. So please any insight would be greatly apreciated.

You can root it from just the phone, but to my knowledge you cant unlock. I could be mistaken though.

no, cause you need to sbf the derpunklock.sbf and then you still need to issue the unlock commands thru commands prompt(moto-fastboot unlock)

So i got a note today and so far its awesome except for the fact that its at stock gingerbread. This wouldnt be a problem but my laptop is down. Is there any way i can rot and install Cwm without a computer? Any help would be appreciated.

You get get odin mobile but it's pricy I think
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
That requires root to use.

you need a pc to be able to root this phone unfortunately
maybe go to a friends and do it quickly, doesnt take to long
I figured. Always good to ask though. The last phone i had was pre-rooted and rom'd so that made things easy. (it was a skyrocket i got from someone from craigslist)

I rooted using exynose abuse app which gave me superuser and root and then installed too manager flashed recovery with that been flashing ever since don't own a laptop anymore unless my wife decides to come back home lol
I was using Odin to root my i777 on my laptop and about half way through the flash process my laptop died on me I had forgot to plug it in. I know stupid move but know I can't even turn my phone on it won't even go into download mode. Please I need help if possible I have read some about using a jig but not for sure it would work on my phone at this point.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I'm pretty sure that thing is HARD BRICKED, mainly cause it powered off during Odin (big no-no). Hopefully I'm wrong and someone else can chime in.
You can always try a jig before giving up
