Can I root and flash recovery (successfully) using below steps ?
* root using this method (LGPwn.apk file)
* install ROM Manager using play store and flashing CWM from within that application.
* and finally putting the cyanogen zip file in my sd card and applying that zip file from CWM recovery.
Please let me know if this method is okayof not.?
Anybody having any idea related to this or done similar kind of thing. Do share your feedback.
Thanks
Having an unlocked bootloader and root are two different things. You need to unlock bootloader before you can use cyanogen. Do some more reading. And if you get lost, do some more reading, lol, just playing. If you get stuck and you can't find the answer, post in this thread and I will help you.

I will unlock bootloader with the toolkit.
Here are the reconciled steps
* root using this method (LGPwn.apk file)
* unlock bootloader with the Toolkit mentioned here.
* install ROM Manager using play store and flashing CWM from within that application.
* and finally putting the cyanogen zip file in my sd card and applying that zip file from CWM recovery.
is it okay to use ROMManager as mentioned above.

If your device is a P769, do NOT use ROM manager app from the play store, and unlocking the boatload is not easy like the other L9's. Read all the forums regarding to unlocking boot loader for P769, under android development section.

Well, two days ago I decided to put ICS on my Amaze. Previous to ICS I was Rooted with S-ON, and Unlocked.
I followed the instructions on the Development section to install ICS on my unlocked, S-ON Amaze. However after I installed CWM, and flashed Superuser, Titanium Backup, or any other root app says I don't have root privileges.
From what I understood, once SU was flashed, the device would be rooted.
I used the All In One Kit to put the CWM Recovery, and flash the SU. I did HTC Steps to unlock the phone (which the AIO Kit helped also)
I tried looking for a solution or something before posting, but I couldn't find one in the 80+ pages of the ICS thread in the Development section.
Thanks in advance!
I initially had an issue flashing Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20992340&postcount=4) because I didn't toggle the signature setting in recovery. Perhaps it didn't flash correctly? Make sure it said it was successful at flashing the zip.
Flash it again.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
I realized that my tool didn't set the SU permissions. I have to fix that. Just flash the SU zip file and it'll be fine.

You sure can. Detailed instructions posted in development section. Basically you need to unlock bootloader through HTC, flash a custom recovery, load up the superuser zip, then flash it in your custom recovery. More details are given in other posts already.

Just going to throw this out there. I flashed superuser after installing ICS to get root. It works for most applications, but one app that it doesn't work with is LuckyPatcher (to get rid of those stupid ads in my other apps). For LuckyPatcher to work, I had to install superSU (can be found from the play store). It seems to be my default root app now.

Yep, LuckyPatcher didn't like it. Installing SuperSU took care of it, and it works fine with all of my other apps.
Im a new owner of the Note 2 and a new member to XDA. I have been doing a lot of reading over the last couple days regarding unlocking the bootloader, flashing CWM and rooting my phone. My question is, is there a certain order that this has to be done in. For example, the bootloader then the recovery or does it not matter

1.Flash revision3 via odin following the guide in its thread. (This will give you root)
2.Follow the bootloader unlock process in adam's guide from its thread (this will unlock your bootloader and unless hes changed it flash twrp a custom rocovery.)
Now you need to reboot into recovery and make a back up. To do this you need to go into recovery (twrp or clockwork mod). You can get to recovery by powering off the phone and holding volume-up+home+power. Now go to backup and back up. If you have an external sd I would recommend selecting the option to backup to it.
After that select a rom you want. If you want stock rooted you dont have to flash anything. Look in your app drawer if you see an app called supersu or super user you're rooted. If you want another rom follow these steps to flash it.
1. Read rom thread for known bugs so you know what youre getting into.
2. Download rom. DO NOT UNZIP.
3. Check md5 sum.
4. Move to external or internal sd where you can find it.
5. Boot into recovery.
6. Select install.
7 navigate to rom file.
8. Swipe to install. If it has aroma follow instructions if not wait for it to do its thing

It seems like CWM is the preferred recovery among most flashers and ROM developers. But I could be mistaken. Somewhere on xda or elsewhere I read a comparison of the 2.
Personal preference I used to use cwm but once I made the switch to twrp I did not look back. However some roms like cm10 say you must use cwm.
I used cwn on my nexus and twrp on my note 2. It seems if its touchwiz they recommend twrp if its aosp sourced they recommened cwm

Sorry if this was addressed elsewhere, but I did try to seek it out first. I am stock rooted (Exynos abuse method) and I have added in the all apps in multiscreen modification. Two questions:
1. From what I can tell, I do not need to flash revision3 first (since I am stock VRALJB rooted), just run the casual exploit and then flash suckitverizon, correct?
2. Does the add apps to multiview mod conflict in any way with unlocking the bootloader or flashing a new ROM?
I think I know the answer to both (yes and no respectively), but I like to measure twice and cut once. Thanks
Im not exactly sure. But in all honesty it would probably just be best to odin flash to stock and start over.

1. just did everything yesterday. i rooted with the exynos exploit but couldn't get odin to flash suck it verizon, so i rooted with casual, unlocked the bootloader with odin, which also installed twrp. i then hooked it up to my computer, copied clean rom to the sd card, and installed. no need to install revision if you don't want to. go straight to beans/cm10/PA/cleanrom or whatever else you want.
summary - root, unlock bootloader, install whatever rom you want. no need to install roms then overwrite those roms
2. if the rom is TW based, you can make any app multiview. beans and cleanrom come with the modification there already afaik. cm1-/aosp roms don't have it, as it's part of touchwiz
Followed the advice to flash back to bone stock, then unlocked the bootloader and flashed cleanrom. Piece of cake as advertised. Only hiccup was getting Odin to recognize my phone...had to start it a second time, but that was it. Thanks for the help.

Hi, i have a Motorola Photon i Already Root the cellphone Works good then i download RomManager and then download miui rom and using rommanager I flash the cellphone by the option the rommanager have and try to boot into Recovery to install another Rom(miui) and every time i reboot into recovery it gave me and error or reboot into the normal Recovery the System Recovery 3e
is there is anyway i could install the Rom without the SDK.
Thank you
Google "root Motorola photon without a computer". You'll need to find photon-torpedo in the travels, but it's not hard. The files needed for computer root and Shabby's AIO root did nothing for me. I can look up the info if you need. It's pretty easy, just takes a few minutes.

Actually the phone is already rooted problem is when I'm trying to reset into recovery the options are pretty small to choose... So I'm thinking I need to unlock the bootloader because I can't work with the option listed in the recovery mod o3 something that came with the mot–photon, I'll try to upload a pic so you could have an idea

SO? My bootloader is locked too and I still have custom recovery. Listen I'm working on my update.zip file that will transfer all system apps via cwm. If you have root then get the l9 recovery installer 1.5 from Artas182x from here.
EDIT: Ok here is my update.zip link. Just install the zip in cwm and you should be good to go.

This update bootlooped my device. I wiped and reset my device no avail.
Really, boot looped? Weird, didn't encounter that problem before. Had it to where it would not boot, but never boot loop. Look go here to get s rooted cwm ROM and flash it. But it will reset your phone.

The easiest way: download a cwm recovery from their webpage and put it on sd card and rename it from recovery-xxxx into update. Then download supersu zip from chainfire's webpage and put it on sd card. Reboot your device into recovery (vol up+home+power button) and navigate to apply update from sd card and select update.zip and it will flash you cwm recovery. When it boots navigate to instal a zip from sd card and find supersu zip and flash it and reboot your device and you will be rooted. Or you google how to root mugma5 i9100m

Look at PhilZ kernels then. He uses stock kernels with his custom CWM recovery (and will also automatically root your phone).
