Samsung Moment :: How To Get Started On A Rooted Phone In A Nut Shell?
Sep 22, 2010
I'm a noob to like all of this so bare with me, I love jailbreaking and rooting stuff, just because I love being in complete control of my device....so thats the main reason why I rooted my samsung moment. I usually gain experience from all of this by looking on youtube tutorials or going to threads, I've never asked or seeked helped personally until now. So my question is what can I do with my phone now? I have an idea of how I would put new roms on my moment but I want to be sure of what I'm doing before I brick my phone from a careless mistake. How to get started on a Rooted phone in a nut shell?

I've had my Moment for 2 weeks now and love it. However, this morning I noticed something new. When I press down on the bottom left corner of the screen (home button vicinity) I get a creaking sound. I get the sound pretty much every time I press down on any part of the bottem left 1/4 of the screen. I do not get this sound when the keyboard is pulled out, so it's coming from some play between the phone and the keyboard. My wife has the same phone and does not have this problem. I'm curious to know if anyone else has developed this creaking noise. Anyone getting this sound?

I have rooted my hero and it has been great since loading the Madaco Rom, but I have just noticed the phone has started scrolling right on its own. I noticed this before loading the ROM, but thought it had stopped since, anyone have the same problems and is there anything that I can do? Would loading the new official ROM make it any better than the Madaco ROM?

My phone is rooted. I was able to get rid of a few stock apps I did not use. However, now my phone is overheating, battery life is about the same as before, (short) and I cannot tell there are any tangible improvements with the rooting procedure!... Applications take time to load up, and touching screen to open them freezes now and then constantly. Is it the phone or is it the rooting that is causing the problem??

Rooted my phone two days ago worked very nicely was easy to do and made my phone easier to use. Today it was acting a little buggy from a theme I installed so I decided to do a restore on it. Now it turns on an as soon as it gets to the sprint screen it goes back. I think it's still on but nothing responds I tried restoring it again but no results. Can anyone help?

I'm using adb to try to get a file off my moment (not rooted), but it keeps telling me no devices found, & yes the phones settings are on usb debugging mode.

I have a samsung moment that I seem to have inadverntantly disabled diagnostic usb access - if I have USB plugged in and then enable dial up networking in settings , USB disconnects - as soon as I disable DUN usb comes back up - I modified the setting in NV for scm from 3a to 2a and caused this, but I can't find a way to access non volatile memory any other way than through usb diagnostic mode

I know nothing about rooting phones, so i thought Id ask here. Im in the process of choosing between the moment and the hero, and I cant decide. The biggest concern I have is how fast will the Moment be rooted. Its sounding like they are close with the Hero, and once that is done will that make it easier for someone to figure out how to root the moment? Or is it like starting from scratch from phone to phone? Im also a bit concerned that no one at XDA will be helping with the process since the moment is not an HTC phone. I had a Treo800 when it first cameout, and it seemed like it took FOREVER for roms to make it way to that device. Any thoughts?

They cdma hero just got rooted (http://theunlockr.com/2009/11/07/how-to-root-your-cdma-htc-hero-sprint-verizon/). At the bottom it says "ANYONE WANT TO TEST THIS METHOD ON THE DROID ERIS AND THE CLIQ? Don't see why it wouldn't work identically" I decided to give this a shot on the moment to no avail.I get all the way to "/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh"then I receive "[1] Killed /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh" not sure if I should get that or not But I tried to then remount /system as rw (mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system) and got "operation not permitted"Anyone give this a shot and get different results?
Anyone got ideas to make this work on the moment?

I am wondering if you are able to run a APK from a rooted hero on the moment?? I have a hero that is rooted running fresh 2.1.1 The wife has a moment that we are going to root shortly. She likes the yahoo messenger from my phone better then anything from the market and her stock one. So my question would be, since I have access to the apk's is it possible to add it to her phone and have it work?? She would also like me to be able to add the teeter program that only came on the hero. If this is possible please let me know so I can make her happy with her Yahoo again. this is how we chat when she is working so I would really like to be able to do it for her.

It is not as easy as it was in the past since we haven't gotten the source code to modify this into the kernel... but you can root the DD03 release. SDX Rooted Leaked Android 2.1 DD03

I have a non-rooted Moment that I am trying to install eStrongs File Explorer & aDosBox on using adb install. Not working. Am I just fubar? The phone currently isn't on a plan so at best I can use WiFi at home (none that I can find at work that aren't secured). If I can just get eStrongs File Explorer installed then I can use that to install aDosBox.

my phone has started running hot. I'm not talking about when I'm charging it, I expect it to get warm while charging, I'm talking about just normal use. It gets very warm, almost hot, back of the phone, above the battery, near the camera lens/sd card/sim card area. Again the battery is cool to the touch if I remove the cover, but the area above the battery is getting really hot, and I noticed when my phone gets hot, the battery life starts to drain like crazy.

I successfully rooted my phone with Speedrabbit 1.7 (in like 5 minutes) then I did Recovery (which took hours cause I couldn't get it to load) and now I have removed a few of the unwanted apps Sweet right? Well, not so sweet, everything is moving extremely slow and there is an even bigger lag than before! Now this was happening before I removed apps so I know I didn't mess anything up there. I thought maybe removing them would perhaps speed things up but it didn't. Am I missing something? I AM running GDE, should I delete that? Just wandering what to do next to see my Moment have that WOW factor that everyone seems to say comes with root...

I installed the Superuser.apk or whatever, it rebooted and I disconnected the usb before typing the adbshell su and getting the # sound so now it says error device not found if I try that. Do I have to re-do everything or is it rooted? And my phone is acting normal by the way.

Sorry if this has been answered, but I haven't found any many solutions through Google or this forum. The OTA update for the Samsung Captivate (that was supposed to fix the GPS and a couple other bugs) isn't working on my [rooted] phone. I am able to download it, but it says that the process failed after my phone restarts. Luckily, it doesn't brick my phone like it has done to some other people's phones. From what I can gather, it doesn't fail because the phone is rooted but because some of the stock AT&T apps have been removed. Is this the problem? If so, is there any place I can download those stock apps (AT&T Navigator, Where, Mobile Banking, etc.) and reload them onto my phone?

I just rooted my phone and got carried away deleting apps. I am not the quickest when it comes to computers so I started deleting everything in red. Yes I really did do that. Now I cannot download. I cannot use my dialer. I think I deleted up to about C before I said uhoh I may be in trouble here. I rooted because I hate the phone. I liked my iphone better as it was quicker and had better email. Those are my main two things. Figured if I rooted I could get rid of the lag and set up a better email. Well here I am. I need help or this thing will be taking a jump out my truck window soon. Help me like this phone please.

I'm a newbie to the android phones. I got the samsung vibrant for tmobile last month. I downloaded an app from the market which is one click lag fix(RyanZA's) and accidentally tapped a button which says: root your phone it took few seconds and said that my phone is rooted. Is there anything that I can do to know if my phone is really booted or not?
I downloaded the titanium back as what was said in there and upon opening it an Error message comes up: "sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will not work! please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes busybox and try again". Does that mean my phone is not rooted?

I have rooted my phone using 1 click lag fix. everything is working fine.
I went to install the droid x Eye wallpaper - I transferred to my SD, then tried to install using Astro File Manager.. I get the popup stating that "For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in the Android Market".
Is this because Astro is not using super user privileges?
