rooting official 2.2

to use certain apps. for me it was to use a screenshot app and also to uninstall sim tool kit which constantly brings up an annoying notification as i use vodafone new zealand. without root it wasnt possible.
 
malez doesnt work installs fine but wont boot recovery just a android dude with a yellow triangle exclamation mark
 
yes i have rogers ... tryed flashing the update signed boot.img but still no luck when i boot in to recovery it checks 4 things 3rd one fails and then goes really fast to the android dude with the yellow triangle so i cant tell you what its failing on (checksum something...isall that i can read befor crash) i should probably just give up before i brick my phone tho
 
when i just press the power button it starts normally....
when i go into recovery it shows the black screen with white text . its checking 4 things the third one fails (checksum something... crashes to fast to make out) and then the android dude with the yellow triangle comes up at this point the phone is unresponsive and i have to pull the battery to start up normally
 
Yeah the yellow triangle with the Android robot and an ! is the stock recovery image.

The partison checksum error is one I get whenever I try to go into recovery while the phone is plugged in.

I think you should be fine if you were to try again. Up to you.
 
ill give it another try tonight.... ill also reverse my force installs to sd to see if that affects it.... let you know how it goes
 
So got malaz too stick rooted using method 1.1 said it was susesful but I still can't uninstall rogers bloatwarw
 
got titanium working i just needed a combatible version of busybox ... but i still cant uninstall calculator , alarm clock , nemo player any ideas
 
Try through ADB:

Use a file explorer, navigate to /system/app and list the names of the apks for the apps which you want to remove.

Then through ADB:
adb remount
adb rm /system/app/xxxxx.apk


Orr it might be:

- adb remount

either type 'adb shell' and then 'cd /system/app' and 'rm xxx.apk'

or insert 'shell' between adb and the rm command:

- adb shell rm /system/app/xxx.apk


I don't remember exactly. Try all 3 until you find something that works.
 
If that doesn't work, try downloading "BusyBox Installer" from the market and it'll get you the latest version of BusyBox, then try Titanium or ADB again.
