Ive read the similar threads, but i cant find anything that helps.
the thing is I have a desire and wanted to root it. Im a noob, apparently, i tried the one click root tutorial but the driver didnt work and ive done everything step by step... i came across something from revolutionary while reading a thread... long story short ive installed it... accessed the boot menu.. installed my rom from the revolutionary menu... installation was successful.. boot animations are all there but it either goes into a black screen or the animation keeps looping regardless of the ROM... what on earth have I done? how do i recover... Ive tried everything i can think of...
please excuse my noobiness and the fact that i made a new thread... but i have no idea what else i can do...
Ok so I'm totally new to this and I have no idea what I'm doing, but I hope you guys can help. I got a mytouch 4g already installed with this ROM manager clockworld or something...it wasnt reading my sd card so I took it to the store and basically found out its basically a software etc...well my phone is just stuck on this start up screen. I tried to erase stuff the cache, etc...still doesn't work. it just shows that hat with the arrow under it. other than that it goes to the htc android screen. I'm so lost somebody help me please!!!!
Plug in the SD card elsewhere, throw a different rom/zip file on it, flash the new rom.
take it easy.flash a stock rom,it will be ok.

Having the same problem...got the T-Mobile mytouch 4g LG e739 a week ago, and after I rooted it, I forgot to backup my files and uninstalled a program that I wasn't supposed to. Lesson learned. Now I'm in the process of finding out how to flash a rom onto my phone so I can fix the error of my ways. I'll update this as soon as I find out how!
Hi,
Yesterday, my aunt a HTC One S from T-Mobile. Seems to be a very good phone.
I'm not sure if it was me but both my aunt an I find the interface sort of difficult to use. Is it something to do with because this is a branded phone so the bloatware and menus have changed? This is considering I have Galaxy Nexus and it's pretty clean.
That being said, from reading on the forums a bit, it seems like the Europe one is unbranded and maybe the key in solving this + getting rid of the unwanted apps which were were just literally throwing icons off the screen.
My question is, for changing the roms. What is exactly the steps I need to do? When I tried reading the FAQ for here, it seems more difficult than I thought and a bit confused. Since I did flash my own Galaxy Nexus, reading the FAQ over there was more straight forward (ie. dirver, get factory image, unlock boot loader, fastboot flash...).
Your help is appreciated.
i agree with the OP. we have 3 threads in the Development section to perform the root procedure and further manipulations and they all seem to be all over the place. we need one, up to date guide.
Welcome to the forum--
First off you are in wrong section--need to post in Q&A. A mod will probably move it for you
Start by reading FAQ/Rules etc
Hard to find one and only one guide anywhere. Need to read all you can. I have gone thru some threads 3 times to understand it all
I used the Unlock/Root thread and did all manually, and had to ask one or two questions in the noob thread after I got rooted, but all pretty straight forward if you have rooted before
The 1s is a great phone--enjoy
The basics are unlock with htcdev
flash a custom rom, with with stock one as some you have to flash boot.img separately and is more difficult
flash superuser, you can also get SU from market
The unlock/root thread by torxx is fairly easy
You don't need the interim cwr anymore, get regular one from koush 5.8.3.1 I believe

Or give yourself a week or two with the phone. In the two weeks that I have had my One S, I have disabled apps that I know I will not use, I have personalized it to a point that I find it to be a very productive device.
Of course eventually I will root/unlock, etc. As of now I'm in no hurry.

Hey, everyone. So I've been trying to figure out how to put ROM's on my Rogers Samsung Infuse 4G. I apologize if this frustrates anyone, I am usually pretty adept at figuring tech things out, however I've been browsing the web and these forums for about three days now and I am so utterly confused that it's beyond frustrating. Every time I manage to find a closely related thread or question I end up with dead links or down some tangent to alternate threads which in the end leaves me with more questions and confusion about how to actually do this. There is never a definitive "do this" thread. So, I've reached the point where I had to come on here and create my own thread.
Here's what I've done to this point;
I tried to root my phone using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248 that thread. I don't know what happened but it somehow failed and bricked my phone. I was able to get it back up and running using the Odin Stock w/root in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193927 and that's where I sit now.
I've gathered that I need to get CWM and a modded recovery file to be able to flash with a ROM and that's where the problems begin.
I downloaded ROM manager and ES File Explorer to find and rename my recovery file, only to find there is no recovery file in my Bin folder.
From there I've read just about every thread possible and this has lead me to just be more confused, mostly because I can't find many threads pertaining to the specific model I have and I'm paranoid as hell to brick my phone by doing/installing something incompatible.
My phone is a Rogers Samsung 4G Infuse. Model SGH-I997R. Using GB 2.3.3 and I gather my baseband version is relevant as well, it's I997R UXKG3.
If someone could walk me through how on earth to sort this out, or point me in the direction of some active and actually useful threads, that would be amazing!

it makes no difference if you are on att or rogers if you are trying to flash a custom rom.
after you flash, the only difference is the APN - needs to be set to rogers.
use any of the stock rooted packages in the dev section
use odin or heimdall
jscott30 has odin packages avail to get you the cwm you need
i had a uclb3 stock with recovery also
alternatively, you can just use one of the custom gb kernels via odin or heimdall..flash the kernel to get cwm and flash what ever you want
advice:
search and read

Hi there!
Here's a thread about returning to stock. Of may be a little dated, but you can always ask in the thread if its the latest firmware or not. Read the whole thread to see if any issues you have are mentioned in it.
Post #4 has clear instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799881
You can ask in that thread for further help I'm sure as well!
Good luck! ?
