[ALL] Sidekick 4G ROM/Stock/Root

JiN1337 · Apr 11, 2012

The complete Sidekick 4G rooting/flashing/ toolkit!

Did you brick your phone? Check out the One-click "Easy ODIN" (Java required)
Do you need to root, but don't know how? (Who am I to judge?)
Are you looking for the best ROM for the SK4G up to date? (GOV2)
Do you need the CWM files?
Do you need all the drivers? (needed for "Easy ODIN")
Do you need more speed? (Check out the V6 Supercharger!)
Do you need faster 4G, or more battery? (Check out the 4G Blaze modem!)

If any of these fit you, chances are this kit is perfect for you. If it fits all of your needs, I guess it's just a match made in heaven!

If you find mistakes, please report them so I can correct them and reupload the pack. (I will be making changes as time progresses, so be alert!)

I have given credit to everyone whom I have used their tools. (Check the READMES)

Finally, enjoy! And thanks from everyone at XDA, you're a judgeless community and you helped me get better with Android in general!

Good job man.
This looks great.
Finally all the files I need in one folder.
I mean I know how to do all of it, but now I know what I'm doing, with organization!

I assume you rooted it with Super One Click so I have to ask.. Is this the first time you get into recovery? Have you ever been able to flash roms on this device?

killa_tattz · Apr 24, 2012

Yea I used superclick, and I have never been able to get into cwm, only stock recovery, haven't flashed a rom....I read the whole cwm post and tried a few things but no luck.....from what I read the recovery isn't copying to the system/bin....but I am determined to get it, rooted every phone I have had since the g1....but any further help would be appreciated...thanks

yeah, it sounds like the recovery binary isn't getting into /system/bin. if you don't mind confirming.... you are extracting the recovery.zip, and putting the recovery file from in there into /system/bin? (then of course you have the update.zip, which is CWM, on the root of your sdcard)

and are you using a file program to paste the recovery file in there? and if/when you do, is it telling you that the file already exists and asking if you want to replace it?

killa_tattz · Apr 24, 2012

Yea I extract and I am using root explorer and when I paste it, says 1 exsist and do I want to overwrite, I do so and update is on my sd..so I really am at a loss at y it isn't working...read the forums and people are doing the same as I am and it works...so don't know what my options are to achieve a new rom, lol...thanks for the help

damn, ok, that's strange. the only last thing i can think of is, when in stock recovery, you are choosing 'reinstall packages'?

i hope you figure it out, the files definitely work, i just downloaded and used them a few days ago, so i don't know what's going wrong there.

killa_tattz · Apr 24, 2012

Yea when in stock I choose reinstall packages, but always get the signature verification failed.....and from what I read its because of the recovery.....but I will keep trying and maybe get lucky on one of them....might just odin and redo the whole proccess again...thanks for the help...

That is a bit strange...I can't think of anything in this case. If you do ODIN, I can walk you through it.

killa_tattz · Apr 26, 2012

I am going to try adb and see if that's the issuse with copy the recovery to the binary folder, thanks for your help

you could try this in Terminal Emulator:

-type su and hit enter
-then do: cp /sdcard/recovery /system/bin

this assumes that you have the recovery file on the root of your sdcard.
