Root Rooting the new OTA 1.6 Update?

Just go be sure, The OPS has nothing to do with the firmware, right?

It tells Odin which flash partitions should receive which image files. It does not write anything to the phone per say. However if the file is wrong for the device, Odin will end up writing the files wrong and your phone will not boot and probably can never be fixed.

I've only heard of a few hard core devs getting this, so don't worry. Just make sure the .ops file is for the BH2 and you'll be fine.

Whenever I rename the dump script, it still specifies itself as a text document, is that normal?

Only if Windows is set to "Hide Extensions for Known File Types". I always recommend turning this off for a lot of reasons.

From a Windows Explorer window menu > Tools > Folder Options > View

Look for the setting there. Once it is turned off you can change the file extension to .bat.
 
Okay, ha. I have a big problem. It just toally reset my phone. Like, back to when the update was first released for 1.6
 
It's alright. I had most my apps on my SD card anyways, luckily. But yeah, how do I actually get in the recovery like you could in Take5?

And I have a questions conercerning ADB, everytime I try to adb push something, it never works, it says all this. My device shows to be connnected and everything. It shows all this http://i49.tinypic.com/aucz9w.png

You are missing spaces between push, the source, and destination.

Restarting into recovery (and not pressing menu or other buttons) will give you ADB access since you've flashed BH_MAN's recovery.

Have you done the dump yet? Because pushing files to /system/ will change what I need for the dump.

i think you need to take the quotation marks out
 
Another question. To do these ADB processes, I have to be in recovery mode, right? But hypothetically, after I maybe push something, how do I reboot, if I have to use recovery to access ADB? Because it seemed different on Take5, I didn't have to go into recovery.

Plus, when I go to recovery mode, It shows the "BH_MAN" sign with the explamation mark, and it stayed there for a while.

You need to be in recovery until we can root the 1.6 kernel.

You can reboot the device with "adb shell reboot".

The logo is normal. BH_MAN changed the normal recovery logo that is displayed during which part of the time you can press "menu" to factory restore the phone. I think you found that out, though :rolleyes:
 
Alright, I thank you so much! I have the dump file, all I need to do is upload the file. And what did paul89 mean by specifying my ROM/Root history?

That was actually a repeat of my post.

I want to know if you have done any ROM installs before, rooted the phone yourself, or done other edits to /system/. Just in case there are any lingering changes to the ROM I want to be able to identify them.

Upload the file to http://www.2shared.com since this site is pretty simple and does not require a login. Just don't loose the download URL ;)
 
I tried pushing the stock messaging in there, but it force closes all the time. I don't understand the problem.
