Database Info

Is there a guide/readme that explains the ROM flashing process and risks?

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying an AT&T Tilt, and am considering replacing the AT&T ROM with an alternative, published here.
Could someone please point me to some reading material that would explain the process?
1. How to do it.
2. How to backup the original ROM.
3. Troubleshooting.
4. Dictionary - to understand all of these new terms!
5. How to evaluate the various alternatives (ie - how to choose between the various available ROMs).
Thanks.

Man, you really need to search/browse. Checkout the sticky topics at the top and also read the wiki. You will find everything you need.

OK, doing that right now.
I posted above because I was looking for some structured how-to.
But you're right, of course. I'll spend a while reading the many interesting threads here.

you ask for structure? there are over 1000 posts on the Kaiser and a whole Wiki full of info So suggest please start reading before you brick you new baby and then come crying how do i fix it. There is a reason for stickys and In my sticky there is a HOW TO FLASH SAFLY

Clean this forum up

I'm sorry if I'm telling people what to do but this forum is ATM to messy.
The moderator should clean it up by pinning the guides to the top and making a "Rom bible" thread where we could locate all the different ROM's.
FAQ thread should be made as well.
I was hopping that we could help the admin with this and not just complain about the situation. So here I start (Please fell free to correct and add things):

It would have been neater if you put them in alphabetical order

It is now somewhat in alphabetical order...

ha ha i think that was funny. Functionally this is very useful. What aplhabet priority will you give to arrange it. Just continue with what you have started I hope the Mods take note of this.

Yeah i agree with the op, i hope mods will take care of it!

All you had to do was ask
I'll get this done today or tomorrow. Appreciate the help in getting the links together. I don't have a Defy, so I'm not familiar with all the procedures etc...
I'll definitely do an "FAQ" type thread for all the main guides.
I'm not 100% sure about a ROM list as that is something that will always be changing and require update all the time. I think it may be easier just to let users find their own ROMs?
Opinions?

That would be cool!
Maybe you could include a link to the wiki page. It would than be easier to keep the ROM list up-to-date.
PS: You can find the Defy wiki-page at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy

I added the links to the wiki page.

OK, seems good, so the ROM part is done aswell.

It would be workable but it would need two things - ideally a Mod dedicated to the Defy section or at least actively monitoring it and secondly when someone starts a new thread about a ROM, to PM said Mod so that they weren't having to constantly trawl through the section to check for them.
I also think it would be useful is all thread titles were formatted similarly - if it's a ROM, start with [ROM]; if it's a guide, start with [guide] etc etc.
That and trying to keep question threads out of here, have them all moved to the general section.
In fact, now that I think about it, isn't it possible to have it so that any new threads hidden until authorised by a Moderator? That way any threads purely asking questions could be weeded out immediately and, indirectly, the/a Mod would end up aware of any new threads that needed to be added to a FAQ/sticky thread and also fix any badly-formatted title.
I know it would potentially add a slight delay to new threads appearing if there were an Mod actively monitoring the Defy section it shouldn't be too bad.
Sorry for just suggesting ways to increase your workload but I'm just thinking out loud...

I'm happy to keep a list of ROMs up to date if I get help in being informed of any new ones etc....I visit all my allocated forums MANY times per day (probably more than I should, even at work ), so that's not a problem. I'm always just a PM away, any time of day or night, unless I'm asleep
Because I visit all my forums so often, there's rarely a time when there are any question threads in the dev section...I like to move them as soon as I see them, so thats another issue I am managing no problem.
I was considering implemeting the same method as you suggested, using the [ROM], [Guide] etc tags in each thread title as they work well in other forums. I'll create a sticky with more information tonight after work.
The Defy forum has become a lot more populated over the last month or so, which is why things are getting a little more cluttered, so hopefully we can all work together and keep it clean and structured
Please feel free to suggest anything else you think will improve the forums

Sorry, didn't mean to suggest otherwise.
I just wasn't consciously aware of you having been around here and also since you're managing 9 sections eek, I thought maybe it would be unfair to ask so much.
I mean, I've done the moderating thing (elsewhere) but I doubt I could've dealt with that sort of load.
About moving questions away from the Dev section, I had also wondered if it might be worth having a sub-section for questions rather than throwing them into the General section, that way it's easier for people to see if a similar question had already been asked.
But I guess most of the questions will be about particular ROMs/Guides etc and will therefore be asked in that thread, so maybe that'd be unnecessary...

Nah nah, it's ok, I know you didn't imply anything
Yea, it's a difficult one with question threads...most of them are related to ROMs or a particular ROM...and if not they are usually general enough to be put into the General forum, which is intended for general chit-chat on a device, or questions.
Some mods like to have a Q&A dedicated sticky thread in the dev section, but im not a big fan of these.
I think the FAQ/Guide sticky should help somewhat in reducing the number of question posted in the dev section.

I was thinking, some sort of Glossary/FAQ thread/post would also be quite useful.
Terms like 'ClockworkMod' and so on get thrown around and whilst there is a thread on how to install it, there isn't really anything that explains clearly to people starting out what it is.

Congratulations, this solution really works. By the way, "[WARNING] Do not flash a new official RUU/ROM/OTA if you have root and/or S-OFF" is now old news, so it can be removed. It does not do harm to install the OTA, people just lose root. It is possible to downgrade
Actually the thread should say something like: You can safely install RUU/ROM/(OTA*) if you have Radio S-OFF (other users too, but it takes more steps to downgrade then), but in any case you will lose root.
* OTA has been pulled by HTC

the guide to how to flash a rom on DHD is dead....

Can mods be abit more strict at moderating pls? thanks

Report the posts and we will see them, they remain hidden otherwise.

Added --> [GUIDE] Downgrade from 3.13 (Sense 3.0) roms

Sorting things out
Recently with all the new ICS roms and with the "old" Gingerbread roms it is becoming harder and harder to find the ROM that you are looking for. Maybe it is an idea to split the ROM development into gingerbread and ICS roms?
Just wondering if it is possible?

Good suggestion, I'll take a look at this. Thanks

The "all-in-one-location" XDA Skyrocket General Info/Root Method/Kernel/ROM Thread!

The "all-in-one-location" XDA Skyrocket General Info/Root Method/Kernel/ROM Thread!
Welcome all SGSII-Skyrocket owners (and anyone else)!
My purpose is to help organize some general info, root methods, kernels, and (constantly updated) ROMs into one thread with links. I do not take credit for ANY work posted in this thread as they should be given to their respective creators (and porters). Also, I am not responsible for any action(s)/damages you take that are from flashing or changing your device from the way you received it when it was purchased. So basically what you do with the information you find here is on YOU!
I hope that ALL questions and requests related to linked content will be posted in the appropriately linked thread(s). Hopefully, we can keep this organized and easy to read and update. Any dates are in a "MM.DD" format and are derived from the most recent date the OP of each thread was updated (in a subtle attempt to continue having devs update their OP any time they update their creations...though our devs seem to be cooler and smarter than the rest IMO ).

[ROMs]
(With our Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket gaining more attention and ownership, I expect our current developers...THANK YOU!!!!...to gain some new developers that will add to the growing list of available ROMs. There are other ROMs out there (not many) but I didn't want to post links to other forum sites. So instead, I will say this is not a complete list of available ROMs but it is all of them available on the XDA Developers SGSII Skyrocket Forums. NO links will go directly to the downloads, instead they will link to the threads. This will hopefully force people to see any instructions and warnings that are related to those ROMs directly from their creators.)

Thanks for your input. Where do you think it should be? All the linked threads (besides one) are located within the Development section so imo a compilation (or index if you will) should be in the dev section too and at the top. Also, this isn't the first thread of it's kind. I'm sure you've seen a thread like this in each of the dev forums just to bring some kind of organization to the many roms and dev related convos/discussions.
If there is a better place for it to be then run it by the Moderators and see what they think.

Thank you for starting this. I think this does belong in the Development forum and should be stickied once it gets where it needs to be.
Anywho, my suggestion is to add a section for CWM-flashable modems. There are only a couple of baseband versions out now but I'm sure that as time goes on and more updates/leaks come out that people will want the ability to use the one they want with whatever rom.

Ok I'll take a look for the threads when I get off work and add them ...or you could be a pal and PM me the links so I can add them easily. Thanks for your help and opinion!

I will keep this in the development section. Looks like some useful information pertaining to development. Guides are allowed if they are kept up to date
Sent from the MIUI powered E3D

Should we organize the roms by date updated (most recent placed at top of that section) or should we organize it by ciq/no ciq? I'm currently leaning towards by date but it's a valid question.

just saying...
Seen these threads made before (i.e. GSII i-9100) and the usual rules of [Dev] section is "If you didn't build it yourself, it doesn't belong in the Dev section." Since this is more a [Ref]erence... then....
but its always up to the moderator.
Either way, this is a useful thread

Lets keep this one here, it will hopefully stop some usual questions and give some answers

Yeah I got u cue, I really wanted to plan ahead for this forum and help out the Mods to keep it structured.
Again, if you see anything I can add to this please post or pm me. Also, maybe a message to some of the devs that haven't posted their roms here might be good idea to encourage them to create a thread here on XDA and show that we're being pretty pro-active on making the most out of our awesome device. Thoughts on that?

Please put in chronological order from most recently updated to oldest updated.

I thought the dates after each one would be enough considering the way us programmers are. A dev could revise a rom multiple times in one day, and I go off the date the OP is updated. But, if y'all really want that then um...ok. Anyone else agree with Dan?

Good thing. Maybe you can add links for stock kernel and rom for both Roger and AT&T.
thanks

I love my Inspire but I want to get rid of bloatware and block ads. Easy right? Just root it. Well, every thread I've found has out of date links or says they are not for 2.3 or higher.
All the links to Bubby's one click either say 'nothing to see here' or that they only work for something prior to 2.3.
Other than one link for the Revolution rom with over 750 pages I have read every page and every link referring to rooting and installing a new rom.
Could someone please post a guide with current links? Or just updated links for the old guides if they still work with the new tools?
Thanks for any help guys!

The only working tool for your device is the Advanced Ace Hack Kit, wich is no longer supported here. Follow my signature and you will find the way...

I may sound like a layman, but there used to be a thread in android development subforum under HTC Inspire that offered ACE hack kit, a program that would root your phone and install an advanced "recovery" system in your phone. Among others, this one is by far the easiest and effortless way of rooting the phone. Once the hack kit is installed, you can effortlessly install any ROM that has been tested by many on HTC Inspire, such as these from the link http://theunlockr.com/category/roms-2/android-roms-2/htc-inspire-4g-roms/
However, like another poster pointed out, the dev that offered us the Advanced ACE hack kit (AAHK) is no longer with XDA. May be he has his own website where he offers it for free. This used to be where it was offered.
Ah, the post above, somewhere masked in the sig is a way to get AAHK.

Your signature led to another and then....

I finally found it! There were a few more new websites that still contained bad links. But a few more searches and a read through another 'I can't find it' thread finally got me to a good link.
Thank you again for the good-naturedness of your reply It seems things have gotten very testy in the last 6 months or so. There are obviously a lot of people who are, um, genuinely challenged when it comes to, um, thinking. Based on spelling it seems that the issue (being stupid) is genuine and yelling at them isn't going to help.
So again - THANK YOU! It really did take a specific search to find the link and it took three searches to find the right specific search. You started me on the path to the right search.
Link found on attn1's twitter.
I for sure will donate to him. Hopefully I won't have to bother him with any kickban questions lol.

Well, I just rooted my inspire 4g yesterday and used the method from here:http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Ace:_Rooting_&_CyanogenMod it went smoothly and completed successfully and I flashed the custom rom already.
I tried to follow other hack tools but all them wanted to uninstall htc sync and relative drivers from the computer which is a pain
