If you do the OTA, you will lose root. Do it manually.
I mean seriously, you've managed to root your phone. The idea of puttiing the 2 files in your sd card (the 2.3.4 update zip file and the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip file) shouldn't sound too hard to do.
After flashing the update via clockwork recovery...
(Note: if you try and install it via Rom Manager it will reboot by itself after installing the update. Therefore, losing root. So I suggest doing it manually: powering down and going into recovery mode.)
Instead of pressing on reboot you would then go and flashing the other file (su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip) that's already in there.
Once that's done you can reboot.
(This maintain permanent root.)
Download and install Root Explorer app from Android Market
Open Root Explorer and navigate to etc directory
Tap on the gray box that says Mount R/W
Tap and hold on the file install-recovery.sh and rename this file to install-recovery.sh.old
Once renamed, download and install the app called ROM Manager from Android Market
Once installed, open ROM Manager app and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option.
Now you have 2.3.4 and permanent root. Don't make it harder than what it seems.

Ok lets say for retard purposes I wanted to loose root, updating would install correctly? I'm asking because I plan on getting the sensation when it comes out and I think it would be easier selling a stock phone.

Yes it will install fine and remove root for you.

I cannot update my phone with OTA, my phone is rooted.
And I do not really know what to do, I bought my phone rooted, second hand.

If your phone is Rooted, it will not take the OTA update, you have to be Stock!

Rooted you say, eh?!
What are you running? Does it have clockwork recovery, Install rom manager and it should say your latest recovery.

[Q] Lost CWM and Root

I need some help either getting root restored or getting CWM back. I rooted my G2X using the SuperOneClick method, did a nandroid backup of the original ROM, and then installed a CM7.1 nightly. After doing so, I found out that I no longer have root (or that the su binaries are corrupt) and there are a ton of issues with the currently CM7.1 nightly ROMs. I really just want to get back to the stock ROM that I have a nandroid of. When I do actually get to the Android Recovery screen, it sits at "Formatting MISC:..." and I can't select any other options (not sure what that's all about). I have tried rooting again, but I get errors saying things like "chmod: no such tool".
Does anyone know another way to get into CWM, know how to restore root, or have an alternative to restore a nandroid backup?

I had the same problem when updating from virtuous vision (froyo) to virtuous visioin unity. 2hat solved the issue for me was uninstalling SU and reinstalling it from the market.
Not shure if this'll solve it for you though.

Yup, nvflash CWM is your best bet at this point. Disregard the titanium suggestion.

Same exact thing happened to me. ROM Manager says I have CWM 3.0.2.7 current, but I can't reboot into recovery, restore any backups, fix permissions, etc. I noticed it when I tried to re-flash CM7 nightly #37 because my wifi was stuck at "obtaining IP address" and I was getting 3 or 4 force close notifications at startup. Installed root check and it said "root access is not properly configured or was not granted. SU binary not found in the system declared PATH."
Going to try nvflash CWM and go from there. Hoping to get this beast running proper!

People just need to stop tinkering with their phone's software if they don't know what they're doing. They screw something up and come crying back here for help. Now, I know we were all 'noobs' at one point... But at least put the effort into reading up on details and be at least 90% certain you know what to do, before you eff anything up. Seriously guys. We can help, but you shouldn't be doing this sort of stuff if you aren't up for it yet!
I know all of us, the more seasoned geeks, have had multiple android devices so we know our way around. And we were in the same boat as you once too... Learning the basics and all that. But don't be flashing roms and/or kernels if you don't know what adb is. #justsaying.
Now, for your problem. I'm not even sure if you used NVFlash to flash a recovery. And if your getting weird errors while booting into recovery, flash it again. Once in recovery all you have to do is restore your back up, simple as that. There's no need to flash other roms. Now, if you used ROM Manager to flash your recovery... Then your nandroid is probably stored on your internal SD. And if you have an external SD recovery then you can't get at it. Maybe I missed something but I'm not sure if that's even the problem. But there is a stock/rooted nandroid here in the dev section, copy that to the proper location on your external SD and proceed to restore that.
Try that first before you flash anything, It seems most logical to me at least

I found these instructions on using nvflash to reflash CWM recovery (link below). It worked like a charm for me- but I had a backup from just after I rooted. After restoring it to original (rooted), I wiped and reflashed the latest CM7 nightly #61 with gapps. You can probably just flash the latest nightly instead of going back to original like I did.

Custom ROM Issue?

Okay I'll summarise this as best as I can, I'm new to Android but not to computers and Linux. I got a china 7" Telechips 8901 Tablet 2.1 and I decided to install the custom Rom on Team Telechips website, I know I should have backed up The Stock ROM but I didn't, After installing the Rom it turned out to be Cyanogenmod and everything was fine except that the touch screen was opposite. So I thought what the hell I might as well try the second ROM on the team telechips website which was HSG-X5A one and now the Tablet doesn't start up anymore, It just shows the Logo and goes blank, I had Clockworkmod in there but I can't boot into the the recovery console, Nothing happens when hold those two buttons. So I tried using ADB from windows to boot into it but nothing happens. I can back up the Stock ROM from somebody else's Tablet but if since can't enter the recovery how can I install it. When I tried to adb push anything into nand, it says can not copy, read-only.
Help me please

I feel you may have bricked your device because you installed roms on top of roms. Did you wipe anything before installing these custom roms?

Welcome to forums
Moved to proper section, please read the forum rules before posting.

Yeah I kinda guessed that. No I did not wipe anything before the update. Is there anyway out of this? I can't seem to access the nand and sdcard through adb.

Okay I was able to use adb to wipe everything. What to do next?
Now if I do anything all I keep getting is exec 'system/bin/sh' failed no such file or directory (2)

Did you run a wipe through recovery and did not just delete files through adb?
Sounds like it is looking for a system file that got deleted. Was this after you tried reinstalling the rom?

No I don't have access to recovery. I ran the wipe all through adb wipe all. Now even after I wiped everything I still don't have access to recovery. How do I now install the system file? All I can use is adb and I have the zip file for the rom.

Also it seems that the /system folder is all I have access to via adb after remount. Is there anything or any file(s) I can push in there as to be able to then enter recovery and install the rom?

whats really going on?
hello, i'm new here and know im not suppose to be posting this here but but i need to post something 10x before i can post where i really want to. i really want to be able to post in the epic 4g asc ics thread.. really good rom no problems for me.the only thing missing is the theme from 3.5. im on 4.0 and having trouble pushing the apk's. i have a question,should i continue to figure out how to push or just wait for an update?

I'm so proud of myself right now, I was able to do this using the FWDN tool. It's the best, Once you know how to use it, there is really nothing it can't do. I learned how to use it with this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q1c88qu7JI.
Best of luck to whoever has this problem as well now or in the future.

update phone first before custom ROM

ok, so i've read what i think i need to root and install a custom ROM (i think i want to try eagles blood 2.8 first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124522)
just got my G2x on Monday and it has GB 2.3.3 but i have not checked if it has an update and not sure i want to update it first, but that is my question.
should i do an update first before i do anything else or does it even matter? i mean i will root, then do a backup, then install the ROM, right? so it shouldnt matter if the phone is the latest and greatest from LG or T-Mobile as i will be overwriting it anyway...at least that is how i think it works
also i have seen where people are saying to wipe everything (or at least a few folders), how is that done? just delete what is in the folders or is there a tool to wipe said data?

No OTA updates are available, but is unnecessary anyway. Also, no need to root if you want to flash these roms as they already have root access. Flash clockworkmod (search for the thread on that) then flash the rom you want. All the instructions are there.

No need to root before nvflashing cwm.
Yes, OTA is "over the air". And just so you know, make sure you follow those nvflash steps EXACTLY as written. What you are choosing to flash, however, is the completely stock (although rooted) version of android 2.3.3 that you already have on your phone. This is fine, but after you get cwm you can flash any custom rom you find within the development section as well. I recommend at least choosing cm7 because the stock rom sucks.

This one. It's actually linked as the first step in your thread. This is the important one. Read it over a couple times first, and maybe watch some videos too.
Everything after that step in your thread is basically how to flash a custom rom. They are just choosing a rooted version of stock as their example.

root first if you want to backup any of the apps on the phone.
i rooted , clockworked , backed up the phone then copied the int and ext sd roms to my pc. installed titanium and backed up all the apps in the stock rom i thought i might want to keep. ( mostly the nova demo and need for speed) . copy your rom contents over so if you mistakenly format your sd card you can still return the phone to stock. ( don't ask i did it ) tryed cm7 stable. liked it but had sleep of death issues. returned the phone to stock . messed with the stock apps and root explorer backed everything up again. and now im ruing weapon r and love it. no stutter and smooth as a hot knife going thru butter and no sleep of death! and USB works every time. even love the loader he used.

couple of things, dont know if this is a theme issue, but it no longer says 4G, it has a letter H instead
also i moved the notification bar to the bottom but cant remember where to change that back to the top

that looks good. don't for get to copy off the internal and external sd chips and keep that data safe. when you made your backup in clockwork it stored it on the internal chip. titanium by default i be leave uses the external. if any thing goes wrong, as long as you have access to those backups and can boot to clockwork you can get your phone working.

The h is the same as 4g. There are mods to change those icons that can be found on xda. As far as the status bar, I think that setting is located somewhere in the tablet tweaks menu.

Yeah that's it. How are you liking the rom? Bear in mind that now you have root access you can do all sorts of customizations. You can flash kernels that allow for overclocking or underclocking, use titanium backup (recommended) to preserve all apps and app data, modify boot animations and status bar icons, basically anything you want.

About rooting

Hi, I need your help.
I wanna know if I can come back to the stock rom (The official rom - htc sense 4) after rooting and flashing other roms ?
And I wanna know if there is a really improvement for the battery life in other rom and other kernal ?
Also, can I unroot my device ? (If it was root)

Yes u can go back to stock completely by running an ruu. There are many benefits of custom roms the amount of customisation and also the battery life can improve depending on what Rom you Use some are for performance others for battery savers

Once rooted download titanium backup and make a back up then also make a nandroid backup when u install a new Rom its advised to wipe the phone (sd card does nt get touched ) once your on the desired Rom restore files with titanium back up if anything goes wrong when rooting run nandroid back up ans ye super su will totally unroot u that's what it says or u can run and ruu specific to ur country and update version and that will also take u back to stock

Great comment I must say
And can I get the htc original updates in the stock rom?

Yea u can update on stock HTC but there is no point personally I don't recommend it if your rooting and going onto a custom Rom no point because developers base their roms around the latest update from HTC and HTC sometimes add stupid things in their updates to make it harder for us to get roms on making phone easier to brick like I'm still on HTC update 1.73 never updated just make sure before put on a custom Rom that you have
Titanium backup and made a backup
Made a nandroid backup this is built into clock work mod (recovery) and your good to go
I never keep my backups on my phone I transfer them to the computer because they can take upto 2gb on phone and that's just nandroid backups
Another reason why you shouldn't update via HTC updates is because you will have to keep changing your ruu for the newer ones and sometimes can be hard to get hold of by staying on the one you have right now just find and download it.and u will never have to change it if anything ever goes wrong like bootloop you can run ruu if less experienced or run adb push a Rom onto phone if you want to learn about that I can send u a link for xda thread
Hope this helps sorry for any spelling errors I did not check over it because wrote this via my one s and its quite late ;p

Yes please give me the link
And there is a possibility that my phone can stop working because the root/rom/htc ?

When I say stop working u can go into bootloop for example installing wrong boot.IMG or forgetting to install boot.IMG with a Rom erm you very rarely will completely brick your phone I think I've seen one person on xda who completely bricked their phone not 100% tho u will make mistakes one s was my first android I went into bootloop 4times I understand everything now and it is very worth it just don't install radios because if ur new to it and do something wrong I think its perminant brick everything else is bootloop and to get out of it u run ruu , adb push Rom or the easiest one run the nandroid back up u made
I would only use adb when I go into bootloop and If I don't want to go back to stock by running ruu.

When I say stop working u can go into bootloop for example installing wrong boot.IMG or forgetting to install boot.IMG with a Rom erm you very rarely will completely brick your phone I think I've seen one person on xda who completely bricked their phone not 100% tho u will make mistakes one s was my first android I went into bootloop 4times I understand everything now and it is very worth it just don't install radios because if ur new to it and do something wrong I think its perminant brick everything else is bootloop and to get out of it u run ruu , adb push Rom or the easiest one run the nandroid back up u made
I would only use adb when I go into bootloop and If I don't want to go back to stock by running ruu.

When putting a Rom onto the phone easiest way is to connect it to pc via USB put the .zip on there and flash it with cwm
Adb push tut here

Read post above I editted it... U hold down power for 5sec to do soft reset if u think ur phones still on then hold power and down button and u will enter hboot / bootloader then u navigate to recovery and phone will display some red text with HTC logo and then cwm will launch you click backup and restore then click restore
Ruu is a exe file u run on the computer and u connect ur phone to the computer via USB and to run ruu phne has to be in fastboot which is in.bootloader and I just told u how to access that
This link will help you with ruu and going back to stock
