I am pretty new to Android so bear with me if I ask stupid things in the course of this.
Today I rooted my Inspire 4G using the ace kit v11b and that went fine other than the fact that I cannot connect to the internet from the phone any more. It seems to connect to my wifi just fine, but I can't log into my google account, internet browsing doesn't work etc. I saw one thread where people were having the same issue, and the solution suggested was to flash this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042 which I tried doing through he rom manager via the sd card, but as soon as the install starts it tells me "Install Aborted" with no detail as to why. I've never flashed roms before so I'm sort of lost at this point. Can anyone help?

I'm not sure what you mean by using rom manager to flash that one.....that one needs to be flashed using hboot.....
Download the zip....and then rename it PD98IMG.zip (it has to be named exactly that)...then stick it on the root of your SD card (meaning not in any folders)....then turn off your phone, but make sure fast boot is turned off first......Then turn your phone on by holding power and the volume minus button at the same time, until the hboot screen loads....release and then just wait...it will automatically find the zip and ask if you want to update....
Thats about it...
Thank you so much, that did it!
I didn't know there were different ways of flashing roms and also managed to completely miss the point of renaming the file. I did what you said and it worked like a charm, cheers!
Think I'll read a bit more about android before flashing any more roms.
Hello, please let me know what I'm doing wrong, I've looked exhaustively for a solution to my problem on my own but I can't seem to find one:
1.) Rooted my G2x
2.) Installed Clockwork ROM Manager
3.) Copied two separate Gingerbread ROMs, Cyanogen 7, and Modaco into Root Folder (no sd card, just phone storage)
4.) Tried flashing both Roms multiple times with Rom Manager by both rebooting into recovery and installing from .zip (this option won't display either of the ROMs, just the log file folder.) I have tried installing .zip from SD in ROM Manager, and the phone just reboots as if nothing has happened.
*I believe ROM Manager does have difficulty mounting the phone storage, as it takes a full twenty count before attempting to flash the ROM.
**I don't know if this helps, but I have not received the OTA Gingerbread update from T-Mobile (even when my phone was unrooted), and when I prompt for the OTA update, I receive a "connection error" message. The LG Updater Tool indicates that my phone is "up to date" when it clearly, is Froyo 2.2.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated with this issue guys, I usually scour forums for answers to my questions or fumble my way through it myself, but this has really sucked out lots of hours from my life.
No external sd card
You have to have a external to flash roms if im not mistaken
when you install recovery there are 2 choices external storage and internal storage if you dont have an sdcard reinstall clockwork using the internal option. that should do the trick for you.

I am going to try with an external SD card. Also, I am unsure of how to flash it to use internal storage, I checked the settings through ROM manager and couldn't find out how to do it. Is this something I access during Recovery mode? Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, I'll definitely post with results.

I can't quite tell if you used rom manager to flash CWM, but if you did then make sure to use nvflash. I don't know if it could cause things not to work, but it's the only way to guarantee you can always get into recovery. As people have said above, try to use external, although I hadn't read anything about problems with using internal to flash roms, at least if nvflash has been used.
I'll assume you've already heard of wiping/factory reset and all that since you joined a few years back, but make sure to do it when going to a new rom. As for the update issues, I would say just restore stock froyo, maybe from the nandroid tgagunman created if something is wrong with yours, factory reset it just to be careful, unroot using superoneclick, flash stock recovery using tgagunman's one click recovery flasher, and make sure usb drivers are up to date.
If you really can't get the new baseband and roms working after all that... tell t-mobile you can't get the update and ask for a new one haha.
Thanks Guys...
Danish, Eagle, Water, thanks a lot to all of you guys. I was able to flash a new ROM using an External SD card, I'm still having problems finding a ROM that is stable and is compatible with all of the apps I want to use (I'm currently having difficulty installing Tooyoou on the Bionix ROM I downloaded, which is otherwise AWESOME). I mean, it's not that big of a deal, but I'd like to get my extra $2.50 a month from the program.
Oh and NV Flash...
NV Flash helped me when I messed up my G2x's ability to boot into recovery with a Cyanogenmod 7 ROM build. Here's a link to a guide that helped immensely for anyone who finds themselves in this thread with a similar issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Sprint. It is rooted, has recovery, and I flashed and am using CM10 with it.
I've hard a lot of good things about the Synergy ROM, and really want to try it. The problem is that I have downloaded it from the forum link as well as other links several times, and it will never flash.
I have downloaded it to my computer and then copied it over to the phone. I have downloaded it with my phone directly as well. Every time, when I boot into recovery and select the zip file, it fails with an error that it was unable to open the zip file.
This occurs regardless of trying from the internal memory or external SD card. I originally had CW recovery on the phone and thought maybe that was the problem, so I installed the Team Win Recovery Project recovery version 2.4.4.0, but it still dies just the same.
I'm very frustrated right now, as you can imagine!!!
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
Bought this for my daughter.
Rooted it, did a nandroid, then forgot to copy my nandroid to PC before I wiped the sd card for ext..
So, after looking all over the net, I have found Modded stock roms, but none with the update profile feature.
I rooted and flashed a rom before activating, so now I seem to be hosed....
Nothin for cricket seems to work as far as "back to stock". I tried these just in hopes that they might work.. Even if they didnt, Im no worse off. Seems ST is the oddball of the carriers, since you cant get into adb with it, only recovery.
If you have a copy of this rom, or know where to get one, please post. Again, I need Straight Talk Ascend II (M865c) STOCK rom with UPDATE PROFILE option.
Or, if you know a workaround on how to activate while running a modded or custom rom.
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,
I'm having some problems getting my this Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE working on ting. The phone was on stock rom, and I put Cyanogen mod on it after using Clockwork mod to make a nandroid...however, the external sd card crapped out, so I wasn't able to revert using the nandroid.
After using another external SD card, I installed TWRP as a recovery instead, and loaded a stock rom from the stock rom dump here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295643 .... I used the JB stock rom, and it worked, but the Hands Free activation to get it on Ting's network is failing with some error authentication.
I guess I could go try going further back to "stock " by loading the ICS dump, but does anybody have the RSDlite files require to put it back to factory the "motorola" way?
Any help would be much appreciated!

On the evil devhost, be careful to hit the 'actual' download link... When I upped them they weren't so evil. Apologies, I don't really have any permanent hosting.
