Ok seeing as I was on the sapphire forever and no body responded

I figure I would try here since I still have a G1 and now I also own a Mytouch
I got a Mytouch from a friend and it was already rooted running a hero rom now I want to run Cyans latest and I know that you have to download a recovery image then his roms in order for them to work . I was wondering since I am new to this phone how would I go about that process. I have downloaded the recovery image from the HTC site for my mytouch but it wont install....I was curious
Yes Yes I know wrong forum but I am true G1 user just now with a spare new Mytouch to mess with

follow this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_Older_CyanogenMod_Versions
then once u have 4.1.99 u can follow this after that http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page#How_do_I_upgrade_to_the_latest_CyanogenMod.3F
this is the development section so i am sure the mods will move this thread to Q&A where it belongs

Yeah I should have known better to post here but it was just so frustrating lol thank you

Well before I get this thread moved would anyone have a download to that HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83...the link to androidspin is not working

This is for a Mytouch:
http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html

OK well I have the recovery image on therew but would I need 1.5 or 1.6 cause I did the 1.6 and nothing but I have yet to try the 1.5...I know this is odd but the GF wants the mytouch so going to help her

Cyanogen's roms are all 1.6 so u would need the 1.6

You need the 1.6 if you are doing any cyno newer than 4.1.9999999
Basically, what cyno is doing to get around the google c&d is making an update that mods the original base google 1.6, hence why we have to flash first the google ADP 1.6 then the update from Cyno. Hope this helps, and slowly counting down til this gets moved in 3....2......1......

[Q] Updating ROM from Epic Experience 1.0.1

Hi, I've recently bought a Samsung Epic 4G with Schizopunk Epic Experience ROM verson 1.0.1
I've noticed that there has been many updates since this version but I'm completely dumbfounded as to updating this ROM. I didn't install the ROM myself so I can't really go into detail but I was hoping maybe someone here can help me update from version 1.0.1 to 2.0.08
There are plenty of sites explaining how to install ROMs, including this one, but I can find a thread on just updating the existing ROM to a more current version.
Step-By-Step would be great because I don't even know where to start.
Thanks in Advance.

Well my friend I'm glad you decided on an epic. If its got epic experience 1.01 yes you are behind on updates, but you honestly need to read up on all the details of flashing roms and using cwm recovery first. There is many great devs and lots of tweaks and as you learn you will find its not very easy to really "brick" these phones. As far as a step by step guide, your probably not going to get one, but there are a lot of guides on how to accomplish steps to get you there. Good luck and have fun.

I am not familiar with that particular rom but chances are the base rom has been changed so I would do a full wipe through clockwork mod recovery, you should definitely download titanium backup to backup anything you don't wanna lose. There are tons of threads about this. I would install the newest version of the rom just like if you were coming from stock. So find a guide for installing a rom and start from there.

[Q] Epic 4g: CWM 2.5 to 3.0 problems....

Hi, new to the forum and the Epic 4g. Didn't want to make a new thread but I'm not going to flood the forum with crap to get my post count up, just so I can ask in the developers section.
I'll keep this short...
From a stock EC05 phone I followed rooting directions (zedomax youtube). My end goal was CWM 3.0 and the syndicate ROM. No problems with the root, but it left me with 2.5.1 instead of 3.x .
I'm having a hell of a time upgrading it. I found Rodderick's post with the manual zip update from today. Downloaded, CWM accepted it and the install went through according the the prompt. I reboot in CWM and it still give me the green 2.5.1 screen. Did some searching but couldn't find much. Any thoughts?
-Drink

Dunno... have the same phone... plz keep me posted

i'm having the same issue. no matter what i do, i cant update to 3.0. Frustrating!!!

[Q] ROM Manager from Android Market on the G2X

Hi all.
I'm interesting in beginning to make some mods to my G2X.
I've seen some people posting that there is a very unique way to successfully get CWM (ROM MANAGER) on the phone.
I came from a Samsung Vibrant. On the Vibrant, I simply Downloaded ROM Manager from the market, and that worked like a charm.
I've downloaded ROM manager from the market on my G2x. There have been 2 or 3 updates to the app since I downloaded it.
With the version of ROM Manager that I have, am I okay to begin flashing zips, or will I mess my phone up?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Start by deleting this post. Then search. Then, if still confused, repost in the right section. This is just going to get flamed.

1st, welcome to the G2x.
2nd, this should have been posted in Q&A to keep the Dev Section clean.
3rd, though RM has a version of CWM for the G2x, it is best to flash recovery through NVFlash.
You can get all you need from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

Wrong forum buddy, there is a G2x Q&A where someone will answer your question, this forum is only for development of the G2x, not for questions.

Flame on.
Wrong forum. Should be in questions.
To answer your question... yea that works but you should nvflash Clockworkmod first.
Nvflash will stick and enables power+down to get into recovery while booting.
Simply using rom manager WILL work but doesn't enable power+volume down on boot up. So if you use rom manager and something screws up and you bootloop... it'll be harder to fix.
Lesson: nvflash once... then use rom manager as normal. Best of both worlds.
G2x CM7.1 style - Android 2.3.4

Thanks everyone for your help.
Sorry about posting in the wrong spot... I'll make my way to Q&A.

Id like to be the first to say sorry for some rude people. Nvflash is how we get down in the g2x forums.
Its not hard either
this will get you going if you havent figured out yet.

Software version

Hi I have just bought the LG and was wondering if there is a preferred rooting process and if my phone running software v10d would work? I have moved from a desire hd which used a one click root script on Linux which is what I prefer to use.
Also are there many good roms for this phone?
Thanks

Rom choice is personal preference depends on what you like i suggest you root your phone with SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse. And try all the roms..
Personally i have tried every rom here lol when i say every even down to the cm7 and at the moment Thaiz's is a clear winner plus he put up the system ui and stuff so you can make your very own personal theme from UOT kitchen....
But like i said rom depends on you good luck and welcome to Optimus 3D Forums where waiting is the game lol....
Oh and P.S i am not gonna say anything but next time please post questions in general normally you will be flamed but i will start it of with a positive post ...

Thanks a lot for the info. If I knew how to move this thread over to general, then I would! The main thing Is that I am able to root with the software version I'm running. Don't want to brick the phone

Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to General

hi, i've just finished rooting. still running 2.2.2 software v10d and have installed rom manager and also flashed CWM and want to try out Thaiz's rom next. can i just copy the zip over to my sdcard then install from CWM or do i need to install a few other things first, like a different radio?
cheers

Yes, you need a different radio. Update to V21a, root, install CWM and have fun.
