hey guys i just rooted and flashed my first rom and mod theme and now that im trying to recover my info in cwm it runs thru a bunch of files and then says something about file does not exist or something i cant remember what and i dont want to do it again cuz everytime i do my phone locks on the samsung start up screen. was i supposed to partition the sd card or something? if so can someone give me a step by step please? PPCgeeks is down and i had a thread started over there that was helping but cant get to it.
if its not a partition problem then do u have ne ideas what it might be?

I really want to help her please she is still on 1.6 dough. i have already downloaded android market.apk but since doesnt have file manager i cant install it. what can i do?
I own a samsung galaxy s and i know how to fash my toy we have CWM where i can flash my zip file where can i get a tutorial in installing cwm?

i have used this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042639but when updating it says phone not found whta have i done wrong?please any one help me
go to settings, applications, development, and find and enable usb debugging. you'll need to find yourself the adb.exe executable from the android sdk. google it. once you have it, put the filemanager.apk, or whatever you have in its folder, connect the phone(it should say usb debugging connected), and run the adb executable w/ parameters as follows "adb install filemanagerml.apk", substituting the last bit for whatever program you have. that's it off the top of my mind, I'm going to bed. good luck.

Hallo,
i have a Milestone 2
Im goin to root it but i also want to make a systemupdate.
in sysinfo it says firmwareversion 2.2.1.......and on motorolahomepage i can download android 2.3 (gingerbread)
so my idea is to patch the newest firmware und patch gingerbread on my device, then after that i want to root it.
but im a little bit unsure, because im new to android-phones (last phone was htc-kaiser with cooked rom)
so i better ask here and dont risk, that i get the newest OS on my device but make rooting it harder by that.
what is the best way to get my phone in a rooted status with updated software ?
should i update ? ...i like the feeling of new software, but also know, that new is not = better
can anyone help me plz...i canceled updateing my phone so far, till i know the right order to do
thx 4 help
ok, after i found a way to root my milestone2 with gingerbread on it i now upgrade to gingerbread and try this way of rooting
Milestone 2 is listed in the devices confirmed working.....
hope i do not wrong :/
anyway i like to hear some tipps
greetz
sry 4 so much noobquestions, but i have another problem now....
i tried to upgrade to gingerbread. but the motorola update software did not find my phone.
on the homepage it says i need a "micro usb data cable"
i have a normal "micro usb cable"... i there a diffrence ?
i know that their where different cables for phones (data, flash,etc) but i thought in times there mini/micro-usb-cables are standard there are not differences in cabletypes.
am i wrong ??
greetz
Be aware that you will have very few options to choose from on custom roms when you are on gingerbread. There are a lot more to choose from if you stay on froyo.
I have used different sorts of cables micro usb cables and they all work. Try using a different usb port and make sure the cables are inserted fully. If not try a different cable, the one you have may be defective.
Actually, now there's a method to go back to Froyo from official GB, if needed, look in the Android Development section.
"what is the best way to get my phone in a rooted status with updated software ?"
If you mean rooting on Froyo, z4root works (at least for me). If you mean rooting GB, superoneclick is the one. Just be sure to stay away from the official 2.3 from Vivo (Brazil) and Personal (Argentina), because these too can't be rooted right now + you can't downgrade.
should i update ? ...i like the feeling of new software, but also know, that new is not = better
Well, that's up to you... fSince I've tried my first custom ROM in my old Motorola Quench, I haven't used an official ROM for more than 2 days. At least try it, if you don't like you can always go back.
About the USB cable, any cable that fits the phone should work... Have you installed the Motorola USB Drivers? If not, download them from Motorola's website and try again. Also, I think I read here in the forum some time ago that some guys were having problems with RSD Lite (sorry, don't remember if it was the same as the one you got), but changing the version helped.
About the tips, the best one I can give you is: Read the forums, there's much information out there, any doubts you may have probably have been answered around here before, any problems you may run into, I'm sure someone here had them before and there's a solution.
thank you for helping me out..
the tel is now detected from the updatesoftware.
i installed net.framework 4 made a windows-update, restartet, connected the phone "moto phone portal" in backround and it worked.
Im goin to flash the orginal gingerbread 2.3 upgrade from the Motorola Homepage
it is the German (Vodafone) Version.
I know that they are more options to choose a cooked ROM then i stay on Froyo, but i think Gingerbread has few cool new features also. And my "problem" is, that i want to have a German ROM, so i have a better workflow on my cellphone......and because of that i anyway dont have real good options to choose a cooked rom.
EDIT: I see that some ROMS are tagged as "multilanguage". I hope that this means a full german translation in any casy (dictionary, etc). But afaik there will be also cooked ROMs on gingerbread.
Can anybody say me, if i can have any improvement by a firmwareupdate ?
it says:
Firmware-version: 2.2.1
Firmware-config: GAS_EMEA_USAMS1FRYOVFDE_P009
ps: now im a little bit conzerned, so i first root my froyo, then make a nandroidbackup, then i upgrade to gingerbread. (so i perhaps have better chances to go back)
bah ((
i tried to update to gingerbread, managed that my phone is regonized, but softwareupdate tells me "there is no update". MotorolaHP tells gingerbread is avaivable.
so now im going to flash a costom image.
anyone has a good suggestion for a good costum gingerbread that supports german ??
ok sry 4 going on everybodys nervs with so much noobquestions....but....
.. i decided to choose this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169038
i already rooted my phone with z4root.
now im going to flash the ROM from above, but the howto is a little bit complicated for my noob-brain.
there says quote:
"1. Put the Nandroid backup folder MS2Ginger on the SDCard in this folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup"
i dont have such a folder on my sd. should i just create it or is any programm missing ??
EDIT: OK just realized that i need to install clockworkmod but i really would be happy if someone can help me a little with that tutorial.
for example it says at point 13: (only if you have froyo kernel) i have kernel 2.6.32.9....so i can skip this point ?
EDITEDIT: installed rom manager, but cant install "clockworkmod recovery from program (in the list there is no milestone 2, only milestone), dont work
ill try it with Droid2 bootstrapper now...
i installed latest droid 2 bootstrapper. I first press "bootstep recovery"......sucsess.
now i press "reboot revovery" to rebbot an male a backup......
the device reboots, but not in recovery....just normal reboot
what am i doing wrong ??
can someone help me plz ?
EDIT: i installed 2ndInit Recovery ....no chance ((( nothing really happens. can someone plz help me ut itz really frustrating :!
ok,...i have no idea.
my problem is that bootstrap droid2 dont start to recovery mode.....no matter what i do, it just makes a normal restart, after i press "reboot to recovery"
i think where is a somethink wrong with my bootloader, perhaps because i installed ClockworkMod ROM Manager before and pressed "milestone" in the install...... a later realized, that droid2 is ment with my european "milestone 2"
something is terribly wrong, and i have to give up, because even a hard-reset could not solve my problem
on boot and if your CWM is working there should be a blue led at the top right of the phone.. you should hit volume down to access CWM..

but i cant see a LED that confirms me it is working.....
thx 4 help...any other suggestions that brings me more towards having a cool cooked ROM ?
Hello,
I was wondering since i updated me u8800-51 to the official 2.3 and it wont let me sync and i think the problem is the update so if i delete all my date and cache and i try to sync it with my computer will i be able to get CWM and download another rom because i cant get CWM with the new 2.3 official update and it wont let me sync to my computer due to the bootloader with the 2.3 update ?i think im still new to this?
What is te sync? Do you mean that the device doesn' t recognized from pc when you connect it? Which rom(version) you've flash? Is the phone rooted? You must first root the phone, to be able to replace recovery with cwm one.
So a few days ago I flashed the android L developer preview on my tablet using a zip file because my tablet's charging port is broken. The thing is, I forgot to flash the zip file for getting root again and now I am stuck with this developer preview. I have no way to connect to the computer and I have no root now. I have no clue what to do. Does anyone have any ideas to help me?
So, you have Lollipop(5.0) on your N7, USB Port is screwed so you cannot connect to PC in order to use ADB/Fastboot/etc?
If this is the case you can still possibly get ADB over WiFi to work if I'm not mistaken.
You can PM me and we can sort it out or just explain it here and I'll do what I can.
