So I got the Froyo update and it killed my ability to tether and root.
Seriously, Im even having trouble with WIRED tethering. Its not working and wont root.
Please point me in the direction of some noob friendly step by step instructions for installing a custom rom that is tethering friendly, along with any info for simply getting wired or wireless tethering to work after the Froyo update?
You shouldn't have installed the update.

Yeah I know. Is there nothing I can do now?
They say they can bring you back to 2.1 if you take it to the shop. Does the update do anything that prevents installing ROMs? When they bring you back to 2.1, will that fix whatever they did or is it in that version now too?
Why can't you root?
Because I accepted the update and the update killed root and tethering for me? I guess there was a way to upgrade without accepting that update.
z4root wont work, and also it says that the OS no longer has the drivers to support the free wireless tethering apps.
......Did you read the OP?
So how am I supposed to root if I cant even use clockwork to install new roms without root access? Am I totally ****ed? Should I just return this phone and get one from Verizon?
Yes I read the OP but the 2.2.1 update doesn't prevent rooting again. If it did, I wouldn't be rooted right now.
I'm not sure what you did or didn't do, but the one click method works.
hes never been one clicked. he only used z4root.

z4root is hokey. you need to use the oneclick root. its really simple.

use this thred. it is for real root, not z4. also, the drivers are installed on your computer, not your phone.

Thank you for something helpful finally.
That makes sense. I tried installing it on my phone. Thank you for noticing that.
You know, if you wrote these instructions for noobs it would really help....For example, when we are dealing with not 1 but 2 devices, it might be helpful to describe which device is doing what. One minute I am doing something with the phone and the next its just "install this"....Dumb it down a bit, like you are talking to people who dont know anything about anything.
Anyway, thanks. Im going to try this now.

Don't feel too bad. I had to read that stuff several times before even deciding whether I should try it.
It keeps saying phone is not connected, even though it says USB-storage is enabled and I can access the files on my phone.
Don't click on mass storage.....and turn on usb debugging

The NON-One click solution seems doable but complicated, and I dont really know what I am doing.
Im thinking about paying somebody to root the phone properly. One person advertised in the SF Bay Area that I know of.

Cool.
Thanks for the support. Im going to try this at least for another day or so before giving up.
OK. Now it says rage against the cage is missing.
The file is clearly there, but VLC media player wants to open it instead of anything useful.
do you use any sort of anti virus? it will remove things from the ragagainstthecage exploit. disable you antivirus for a few minutes and redownload the the rootpackage. im not saying thats what the problem is, im just saying antivirus clashes with the root method.
A little effort goes a long way. Getting root is easy for the epic. Install the samsung drivers, turn on usb debuging on phone, extract the oneclick folder and run the "run.bat" file and let it do its thing.

I had that problem also and it turned out that I was trying to run it from a networked drive. I had to unzip the file to my computer desktop then run the program from there before it worked properly.
If you check out this thread there is a how to video i made to root and flash a rom. Check it out, I think it will help you out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009997
make sure correct samsung drivers are installed on your computer (32 or 64)
download and extract once click root to your computer
Enable usb debugging on your phone (settings - applications - development - usb debugging)
Plug phone into computer
Run run.bat, wait, and enjoy.
I'm want to use Android Commander to transfer some files back and forth to the PC for development. AC needs root access... I've used WugFresh's excellent toolkit to unlock and root the device. All worked fine; SuperSU is present, BusyBox installed. But AC still reports no root access, and the FAQ briefly mentions the difference that not all rooting gives root access to adb.
Can anyone explain in simple terms (I'm pretty new to android) how to get full root access to the device so that I can use Android Commander? Googling for instructions to root the device seems to pretty much always lead back to WugFresh's toolkit, which I've already done.

Try the link below .I remember having a similar problem on a Galaxy Note. I ain't certain but I think its to do with ADB insecure/secure. I could be completely wrong of course!!

Many thanks, yes, that seems to have worked. Strange that there isn't more info about this out there.
This says that it only persists until a reboot - I would still be interested in anyone knows a way of doing this permanently without installing a custom ROM

Ok people, this is not my first post, although it says it is. I used to be on here and a few other sites as ldawg214. I've done some things but alas I quit for awhile and can't remember my old password (so if any mods can help me there that would be cool.) But the reason for this post is that I'm trying to get a custom rom on my mytouch 4g with 2.3.4 Gingerbread. I know I need to downgrade to froyo using adb but the files fre3vo and misc_version_01 are just blank data files. I don't know if they are supposed to be like that but everything I've searched for on this is at least 3 years old. I've gone ahead and tried adb but it always just tells me the the file or directory doesn't exist. Does anyone know if this method still works?

Starting to feel like this is impossible and I know what I'm doing lol.

Haven't rooted a glacier in a while. But I'll try to help you. Here's a link to the rooting process. I've always used gfree. If you need any files let me know and I'll upload them.

Thank you so much but it turns out I was just missing a few steps (as usual) lol. So I am now perm rooted with s=off. I think that's all I have to do and now I can flash a custom rom. That's what I'm on my way to do now. Thank you again.

Okay, I think this can be deleted. I've got s off and installed sabsa_prime and so far it's working great. If anyone sees this though, after all that root checker basic says that the phone doesn't have root access.........WHAT??? How is that possible?
so i am happy to see they got root for the V20 VS995. but i got my V20 today, well i am looking around for root and found a BL method
so i want to know will this method work with VS99513A or is there a better method for this phone, i be so happy to root this phone hehehe

The only way to root the VS995 is to unlock the BL/root using the DirtySanta method. It works with 13A. It will not work if you update to anything past that.
Be sure to read the thread in detail and hope you are proficient with Android, ADB, and fastboot as the process is not for beginners.
It can be a bit nerve racking at times (especially when your phone starts vibrating like crazy....which is normal for the process) but the method does work. Sometimes things don't go 100% according to the description so that's where you need to know what you are doing.

You could try "pm disable <package name>". Don't know if it works on an unrooted device though.
There are two system update apks...one can be disabled through the app manager. The other cannot so you will need to use the command above. I believe the package name is: com.lge.lgdmsclient
There is also an option in the developer settings to prevent autoinstall of an update
I unlocked my bootloader and tried using my pc to root but something is wrong with drivers or adb or something and at this point im giving up on that. So my question is could i just use kingroot then install flashify then install twrp then install magisk? Or am i crazy and this is impossible?
Thanks for your time.
I, and everyone else on this forum, will not recommend using Kingroot.
You're better off trying to fix your current problem. As a matter of fact, somebody said OnePlus provided fastboot drivers with the phone. They should be somewhere on the driver partition which pop-up when your phone is plugged into the PC.

I second this
I don't think King Root works on this phone but even if it does I would stay away from it. King Root is as close to malware as any program I have ever seen people willingly install. There's a step by step guide for rooting and flashing on the OP5. The OP of that thread is really good about answering questions when people run into problems. If you post what is going wrong for you in that thread I'm sure he will be able to help you.
