been looking around but how do i root the droid charge and what rom is recommended?
I want full root and to flash roms. I heard gummy is a good rom? Ill for sure want gingerbread.shrike1978 said:First of all, SuperOneClick or similar methods do not work for this phone.
First, go to this thread and read it at least twice, then come back and read the rest of this: http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...de.-Everything-How-To.-Rom-Kernels-Radios-CWM
The basic method for rooting this phone is to flash CWM via Odin, boot into CWM, and flash a ROM and/or kernel to achieve root. You can just flash superuser if you want to only root and nothing else, but most people want more. The choice of ROM and kernel depend on what you're looking for. Read about each ROM, ask questions, and don't be afraid to try a few different combos to find out what you want.
The biggest choice to make is whether to stay with Froyo or switch to the Gingerbread leak.
thanks for the response.anoninja118 said:all you have to do is use Odin to flash CWM, then flash your rom of choice in CWM or if there's an Odin package for the rom simply just flash in Odin... it will root you and give you a sweet custom rom

This guide is outdated, the process is simple. Flash the EP1W leak from TBH via Odin, then flash CWM via Odin, then flash Gummy, Infinite, or (shudders) Humble after you boot into leak via CWM. It's pretty simple if you follow those steps. If you need to learn how to use Odin or CWM, I suggest reading my How-To thread on the subjects. You can find the downloads for Odin and CWM in there. You can find links to all the available roms in my list thread. Good luck! I recommend only using one of the three roms I listed as they are the only updated roms available."fixxxer2012 said:http://www.toms-world.org/android/
is that a good guide on how to flash the charge?
also i assume if i want to run GB i have to flash a new radio via oden correct? is the radio the same as the modem firmware?
sorry for all the questions but my charge will be here tomorrow and id like to make sure i do everything correctly. right now im torn between gummy and eclipse roms.
thanks for the guide, you did forget to add links to the samsung x86 & x64 drivers though. i found some on xda updated in july 2011.Rythmyc said:This guide is outdated, the process is simple.

im going to flash gummy and IMO'S new kernel. but first i want to make sure i have the latest gb radio which i already downloaded.Rythmyc said:Just flash Gummy, it has a baked in Kernel. If you do flash a kernel, I recommend Imoseyon's, as it is built for Gummy. Thanks for the info about the drivers. I'll add a link to Samsung's driver page.
go here, it has pictures for you to use if needed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580goater1220 said:OK my head is spinning I am a noob at this I got my charge today but have to wait for the battery and back plate to get here lol. I am not understanding this Odin stuff and flashing. I guess I should just keep reading it over and over till I get it huh
The one I posted is newer and supports nandriod backups. Anything older has been known to cause boot loop issues. As far as the sound mod, that's better answered by someone else. I don't know much about them."fixxxer2012 said:im going to flash gummy and IMO'S new kernel. but first i want to make sure i have the latest gb radio which i already downloaded.
i have two questions:
1.) whats the difference between the latest cmw in your thread and the cmw/voodoo/4.0.0.8 one that's linked in the gummy thread?
2.) is the voodoo sound mod pretty much the same as using volume+ in the market? because i already had purchased that previously.
Thanks ... So everytime I want to flash a different rom I use Odin?"fixxxer2012 said:go here, it has pictures for you to use if needed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580

Thanks for the response ... Dam this sucks I have my new Droid charge (new to me at least) sitting on my table and I can't use it since I have to wait for the battery and back plate to come in the mail. Lol smh! !!!"Rythmyc said:Either Odin or CWM
