Sounds like you typed the command wrong, what exactly did you type?

just sudo after it asked if I was root

shoud I have done the sec option in your last post?



YEAH!!!!!! Re did the commands and it's in the process now!!!!

 

[maderschramm]

Yup, that's the prob, type "sudo [the first command you typed in]"

Exclude the brackets "[]"

sudo is the command telling the terminal to run the command following it (in windows lingo) as administrator.

Mader you are awesome!! I'm sorry I bugged you about this for the last 6 hours but I'm glad you were there to help me. It is running as we type now. YOU ARE THE BEST!!

LMAO!! just a few last questions. it's rebooting now. clockwork mod correct?

First thing I need to do is root after update correct to get all the apps back off the sd card?

 

[maderschramm]

? You're in clockworkmod? That's weird, but not bad. Yeah, reboot system.

No I was asking if I neded to be in clockwork. It rebooted back to staock like it should and all my aps and themes are already back on there. Just not rooted. Now I'm dl-ing the update then I'm going to root again again then BACKUP correct?

 

[maderschramm]

Yes!!!!!!!

And yeah, def make a backup lol. Use z4root to root then follow my backup tut to make a backup

 

[cubsfan187]

Oh a backup will be made for sure this time...lmao! Not going thru this again, until I have to do my wife's d2. Because I made the same mistake with hers too. but at least I can do it fairly quick now having done it to mine. Again you da man!


ps. Lets go Cubbies! haha

 

[maderschramm]

Unfortunately I don't know much about the d2, it more than likely requires a different .sbf file too

Id post in the d2 forums and ask what sbf you'll need. Luckily for them I took care of the hard part in teaching you how to do it

For the d2 you'll need a different way to get into the bootloader (might be hold power + x, not sure) and the d2 specific sbf.

Good luck! The flashing procedure (sbf_flash) will be exactly the same besides those two caveats

 

[cubsfan187]

Yeah I will look in the D2 forum for the correct way to enter bootloader and search for the sbf online. Phone is now on .340....rooted...and backing up as I type. Thank you again for everything you have done today. I'm so sorry that I interupted your study time as well. You are a life saver. dancedroid

 

[maderschramm]

No problem, I wrecked the test anyway (in a good way)

Dunno if you can tell from my tuts but im actually an english major. Im just technilogically inclined (man of many talents you see)

 

[cubsfan187]

I thought it was something like that. The tut was very straight forward and well written (i'm just now starting out to be cpu and droid smart...lol). Process done. re-rooted and backing up right now. Then I can go back and morph the things I did before without worry. At least I hope so. With my luck something else will happen (knock knock on wood).

Will this work for bootloader 29.01?
