Root S-Off/sd partition

[swampymc8]

Hi all

been reading a lot and think am ready to do this. Just want to no do i partition first or s-off.. ( do i need to s-off ? ) .. only got a 4gb card is that big enough and how big a partition 1gb or that to much . sorry for the noob questions

thanks

You dont need s-off to partition card. Use gparted (see suroots guides here.) A 1gb partition will be plenty.

so can partition first ? then when ready if need be s-off ?

 

[shauny13]

Yes, you can do either it's up to you. Any order you like, but you dont need s=off to partition like i said.

Hi
Just partitioned card. Easier than I thought
Used gparted . Am still on a stock Rom. So will it only come into effect when put a custom Rom on ? Sorry for silly questions

Thanks

yes, see root memory faq

just been watching vid on s-off. (from xda) , question being 1 in it when it asks to flash clockwork he typed yes. if you already got it (used unrevoked) do you still type yes ? and 2 on web site it says use a rooted rom (am still on stock) does that matter ?

downloaded gingervillan 2.8 and oxygen 2.2.1 not installed any yet ? which best ? if any

sorry for noob questions
thanks guys

Stock rom fine - you are rooted already. Nandroid first though.

Keep recovery you have. No need to change, and 2.5.0.7 more stable than alpharev version.

Back to holiday now
