I have a Mt3g currently running cyanogen 4.2.15.1 and wanted to upgrade to the latest cyanogen version. I tried putting on the zip files for the rom and the google apps but they didn't show up in my sd card when i tried to install them. Not sure what my spl/radio are so if you need that please tell me how to find it.
-thanks
mt3g
firmware-1.6

Okay the subject is clear. I upgraded from nexus one to a used nexus s today with miui installed on it. And as i saw billions of threads all around the web about bricked phones after update to ics i thought it would be good to ask.
I have miui and i just want to upgrade to stock ICS and want to keep the root. Please tell me if there is some special instructions i should follow.
Thanks!
Since you are coming from Nexus One, I guess there is nothing special.
* Get the full OTA ROM for your phone model from the link in my signature
* Flash it via CWM recovery
* Get the updated su and Superuser from here (download the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip one)
* Flash it as usual
* Done!
Note: If you booted into ICS before flashing Superuser package, you will have to re-flash CWM recovery again because the recovery will be reverted back to the stock one.
So there is nothing special that i have miui thing installed. I will just install IC via CWM like i have ginger bread on my phone.
Is there an easy step by step guide for all of this, i didn't make an update for a long while so i kind of forgot things?
thanks!
just flash a rooted stock rom, if you install stock then you will lose root and recovery!
okay i updated just using the stock 4.0.3 rom. it was stuck with the dead android screen. then i used recovery to flash the same rom. it is working flawlessly. i had to install just the cwm recovery. other than that i didnt loose my root.
So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
Hi guys anyone can help me get the latest version Clockwordmod recovery for the rooting process? Please help, thanks ..
well if i understand your ? your looking to root your phone ? correct? if so you will need to root your phone first once your phone is rooted you can download rommanager from android market and it will download the latest avalible clockworkmod recovery to your device
any ? just inbox me
just look for a guide on how to root like the guy above said. what phone do you have? you may also want to look at TWRP as your recovery manager. i was having some issues with clockwork with my evo3d, so i decided to gove TWRP a try. when it comes to clockwork, be careful about the newest version. for some reason my 3d refused to work with anything later than CW 4.0.4 or something like that... odd anyway just makesure you can reflash the old version if you update
If you are trying to port CWM to your device, you can just get CyanogenMod source code from github. It contains the latest CWM source.
Hi
Newcomer at all this.
HD2., Trying to install a custom ROM (W7)
Installed HPSL 2 OK but I cannot install the W7 ROM (it says flashing fails)
So no I want to get back to the original SPL 1.42 and Win6.5
I have tried to flash the WIn6.5 ROM but that flash also fails.
How can I get flash the standard ROM and/or get rid of HPSL
Thanks in anticipation
Update: It seems to fail in the installation of Radio_V2
is there anyway I can take the radio installtion out of the nbh file and just install the rest (as a means of getting rid of HPSl) or even just install SPL1.4 by itself?
TFAI
Easy when you know how
Use HSPL4 to get back to SPL2.08
then use HSPL2 to go from SPL2.08 to SPL1.42
Other combinatoins possible
