Does anyone know how to unroot and put the phone back to stock??? My girl is gonna sell her phone... Has the verizon OTA update came out to the phones yet?? Can i just let it update??
maybe you should, read the forums.....
I would give you a link to the post on page 2 of this forum but those abilities are blocked for me right now.
Pretty funny how a 14 and 5 poster is making fun of a 96 poster. It is a shame we can't restrict the internet from some people.
So in short. Answer is yes, you can de-root (assuming that is a word) the phone back to stock there is a thread that has a guide for you to do so. Also you should be able to find it yourself. Make it a learning experience.

How do you get that I was picking on him?
I tried to direct him to the right thread.
Better than telling him the same thing and calling it a learning experience!

Doesn't look like he is being made fun of, and what does the number of posts have to do with it. People need to A) use search, B) post incorrect threads/forums.

I gave him an answer that it was possible and that there is a thread with a guide. You gave him nothing but "go to page two" Looks to me that I gave more useful information.

Thank you for the link.. As for the ppl who had something smart to say you could have just answered the question with out being an smart ass!! What did making your dumb comment accomplish??? Nothing!! So next time if you cant help me then just shut up!! Nobody wants to here you *****!! I dont have this phone I was asking a question for a friend!! Im not familiar with this thread so thats y i just asked a question so that the decent ppl that are here to help and not ***** could help me out!!
hey can somebody please tell me which build of android is the latest for HTC HD2 ?
they all are if you look at the build dates in the titles...
this message is encrypted to decrypt the message you have to delete this thread first
wow what a lazy person. delete this thread........
LOL
Damn you lazy guys LOL. Just do a read on every build title and u see the what date are they. Is that so dificult???
This is a worthless thread, delete it now
Haha this is almost (not quite, but almost) as good as the "Can anyone share an android os with me?" question... love it

Sure, it's annoying. Comment once and correct them. Otherwise, at least try to be funny so the thread has some entertainment value. You're right, of course...
Since this is also, apparently, a children's forum and coarse language and subject matter is frowned upon by the powers that be, here's the cleanest street joke I know:
A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says "Say, we have a drink named after you!" The Grasshopper says "Really? You have a drink named Steve?"
you posted in the section... with every new android for the phone.... asking for the newest one?

Unfortunately by commenting, I am contributing to the thread bumping, but why post to say "close this thread"? To boost your post count? To make it seem as though you are less of a noobster than the OP? Maybe PMing a moderator would be a better alternative.. I am in no way a bad ass forum perusing mofo but Im over all those posts.. Cut it out, yo. Just refrain from posting in whichever thread and let it fade into non-existence..
BTW, I only quoted doot cause I like the steve joke, I aint mad at doot, at all....

Noob here. Not really understanding how to root my phone. I simply want to root it and then install the very best and stable FROYO software. I don't need a ROM as I like Touchwiz (I know, don't kill me).
Can someone, pls provide detailed chronological ordered instructions on how to ROOT, what I NEED after I root and then install FROYO.
Thank you

Did you read the General Sticky? I tried very hard to make that as clear as possible. Just download the file, rename it, put it not in a folder in sdcard/ and then go to stock recovery (with your phone off, press and hold both volume keys, press and hold power, release power at the Vibrant screen while still holding both volume keys) then click on apply update, reboot phone and you are rooted.

WOW! Such sarcasm. I don't really think that was necessary. And YES..... I did read the sticky.
sarcasm??? WTF, I was genuinely trying to help man.... if the sticky was not enough for you, you probably don't need to be rooting your phone because it doesn't get much simpler. Good luck, if you want help from others, try and not burn bridges. I tried.

@ OP: if your looking for stable as in, set it & forget it, do yourself a favor & wait... Seriously! One way I tell how a ROM is doing is read the first 2 post & last 2 pages. If you see the same issues being stated, dont flash, unless you are willing to deal with that problem.

He was just very patient and answered all my questions, and he's a very trustworthy guy. I bricked my phone about a month ago and have linux and couldn't use odin plus i was still a noob so seeing as my options were buy a new phone or say **** it and send it to him i sent my phone to him and he fixed it, added froyo and shipped it back. Plus he taught me a lot now i kno how to do a LOT now and no longer consider myself a "noob".
Thegreat520 should be a mod on here as he is by far the most helpful person i've ever come across online.

Yeah, to be clear I'm not trying to say anything negative. People helping people is ALWAYS a goo thing.

A start atleast.
God I wish rom manager was hidden in the market for our phones
No CWM right? Hmm, cant you just ODIN a different kernel and then have CWM? Are you rooted? Try the Mobile Odin app, put a differnt kernel on the root of your SD card and try flashing that way.
Or perhaps the worst case scenario is you have to ODIN back to stock to wipe the damages that Rom Manager did.
I hate Rom Manager so much...

You were pointed in the right direction. You were told to read the stickies, which you SHOULD have done before posting in the first place.
You clearly did NOT do this, because, without you even stating what you did, it was obvious to at least three people who read your post what you did wrong, despite the stickies having instructions to NOT DO WHAT YOU DID in the DAMNED THREAD TITLE.
Edit: Oh yeah, and one of the posts here gives you a damn good hint too...
I'm not new to XDA. I couldn't find exactly what I needed to find and was lost. Didn't know which stickies to look at and where. Whatever, its my fault, you're right, but it doesn't give anyone a reason to be harsh to me. This is a Q&A and i asked one. You didn't have to respond. I guess you guys find some joy in giving snide remarks to those who are lost.

Believe me, I dont find any joy in having to respond to 40+ reported posts on the same OP/thread and then having to close them or move them.
I do find joy in reading humorous, snide and condescending comments though. Those can be really clever sometimes.

Seriously - there's a total of only 13 stickies over 3 I777 subforums.
One of them is marked as a FAQ. You should always read FAQs.
One of them says in the thread title, in capital letters, NOT TO DO SOMETHING. Based on your description of the issue, it is clear to all of us THAT YOU DID IT ANYWAY.
And despite blatant multiple hints (no we're not going to hold your hand and spoonfeed you when you are going to be this lazy or dense), you still haven't figured it out.
Yes, Red, thanks for occasionally leaving a thread open so we can vent.
Actually... wait... I looked more closely at your picture... You didn't use ROM Manager (which often causes the problems you've described) - you're still on stock recovery!
The concept that someone could still be using stock recovery and not understand that stock recovery won't work for anything but wiping... well, seriously, that's so incomprehensible that we'd assumed that at the very least, you'd ****ed up by using ROM Manager to get to CWM recovery.
Edit: That said, the answer to your question IS in the FAQ. Of the only 13 stickies here, at the VERY LEAST you should have read the FAQ. Seriously, FAQ posts are there for a damn good reason.

However, it's an exercise in futility. Most people here don't want the logical/simple that requires a bit of work on their part. They want the complex/convoluted that requires effort on the part of everyone but them :-/

I'm not as experienced in android as you are mate. I was asking if theoretically its possible. If you don't have anything useful to say regarding my question, please move along. And keep your wit to yourself.
1) I did say something 'useful' which was proportionate to the question.
2) No.
Thanks for playing.
Edit to add - Again, think for a moment. Different phone. Will require different firmware/framework; I.E SGS2 roms will not run on the SGS3, of course the camera apk for the S3 won't work on the S2. Do you see anyone on here running the camera apk from the Nexus on their S2 ?
As we've said, a few moments of logical thinking could have negated the need for this pointless thread.

See, now was that too hard? Thanks for explaining. I've learnt a thing or two from you.
I read about porting ROMs and was under the impression that the same applies for .apk
This wasn't pointless. At least for me.
No, it wasn't hard. And that's exactly the point several people have tried to illustrate for you, but it has gone way over your head. You just don't get it.
Now then, that's it for me. You're beginning to drag me down to your level & I know I've got no chance Vs your experience (some people reading this will understand where I'm coming from).
