I have not received the OTA update from Verizon on my phone yet. I continue to check for it but the popup screen that says its checking for a new update just disappears and nothing happens. I do not even get the error message that the servers are unavailable. I do not know if something is wrong on my phone with the check new option but im not having a lot of confidence in receiving the update OTA. So I would like to install the update manually through HBOOT and recovery. can somebody please help me through the process? I have downloaded the OTA file onto my computer. Do I need to rename is update.zip or PG05IMG.zip? i have already tired update.zip and i get a operation error and my phone just reboots. I would like to do this without having to wipe my device in the process. My phone is not rooted and is running stock. Thanks in advance for the help.
Unless you want to have random reboots, don't install it. The update doesn't do **** and just causes more problems than it solves.
Where did you download the update from?

The random reboots were not related to the update. it was related to the cell towers and network. Myself and others that have installed it are running fine.
You cannot put the update in without losing all phone internal data, such as apps, screen setups, email settings and so fourth..
If you want to install it, download the file and rename it to PG05IMG.zip and put it on the phones memory card(not in any folders).
Power off the phone & then hold volume down and power together at the same time and it will boot into Hboot and see the file and then ask if you want to update. Just follow prompts and you will be fine. Once it gets to the thunderbolt animation screen, it will sit there for a couple of minutes (up to 5) dont panic, just wait and it will boot up.
This will delete all phone internal data and make it like its straight out of the box when it was purchased except it will now have the updated firware and radio. Your sd card will be fine, it shouldnt delete anything off the sd card but always back up the card in case.

So there is no way to do this without having my phone wiped clean? There must be something wrong with my phone with the whole software update process. Everytime I hit the Check new under Software update, the pop up box comes up saying Checking for new Software available now. but after a few seconds, it just disappears and nothing happens. I do not even get a message saying that your phone is up to date or no update is available. Is this normal? This has been doing this since day 1. Has anybody experienced this and is there s fix for it? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Since when does updating the radio wipe data/cache?
I've flashed multiple radios and it doesn't delete anything.
He is not just wiping the radio, he wants to install the new update maually. If it was just radio, he would be fine.. The update will flash the new radio and new firmware... The firmware part will wipe it
I'm in the exact same situation as the OP, but my phone is running perfectly without the update. I have read a lot of complaints here relating to reboots as well as the gps getting worse. So I plan to avoid the ota like Steve Jobs avoids calories. But I am wondering if not having the update will be an issue when Gingerbread rolls out for the TBolt? I don't want to be left out for that one!

Updating should fix the issue with you getting the manual update to work properly or you can just do a factory reset. Either way you will wipe the data...
There is no way right now to update the phone without wiping, sorry...
If you have your contacts as google contacts, once you sign back into gmail. The phone will verify your account and resync your contacts and redownload any apps (paid & free) that you got from the market... its not that bad really

How does the OTA update not wipe your phone when updating using Check now on your phone?
Curious about this as well. Updating via the menu didn't wipe my phone. My firmware was updated along w/ the radio.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Wondering the same thing here.....
One possible reason for some not receiving update Ota is that verizon may be rolling it out to certin groups of thunderbolts at a time. I know they did this with my original droid. But I could be wrong and have no info to back it up.
Mine popped up asking me to update but i didnt accept cause im rooted

All I can say is if you update throught he verizon notification you will be ok. From what I know, there is something in the package from verizon that puts it as an update and keeps most data and settings. When you flash it any other way, the update part is not seen by the phone, rooted or not rooted.
If you are that worried, wait for the update to show on your phone. Updates usually roll out over 2 weeks in no particular order. Also some others said they had the same issue when they checked for an update but they kept trying it that way and it eventually connected to it.
There really is not more I can say, your options are wait for the over the air update or just flash it now and take a few minutes to setup your phone..

When your rooted and accept an update, it shouldn't install anyway. most roms have it blocked from installing because the signature doesnt match

Ok, so I purchased my Thunderbolt yesterday, and of course, first thing's first. Root.
I am familiar with the OG Droid, and rooted it using the RSDLite method. I am also familiar with using ADB to push/pull files, as well as using apkmanager to modify apks, primarily for themeing purposes, but I do a little bit of XML editing, as well.
I am also familiar with my wife's HTC Incredible, and I have rooted it (Using the UnRevoked method) and flashed a few custom ROMs to it, as well.
I took on the manual rooting instructions for the Thunderbolt, and all went easy peasy, other than being a bit time consuming. I thought I had it all worked out, and was running Plain Jane (flashed using CWM Recovery) and with the recommended baseband/radio (flashed from hBoot).
But I noticed when I left my house (where I was using wi-fi the whole time) that I wasn't getting any 4g/3g/1x service whatsoever. I had cell signal, full bars in fact, but no data transfer.
So, I tried flashing a few different radios, and I just ended up flahing BAMF Sense 3.0 with the mr2 baseband update for gingerbread ROMs.
I still have the same problem. I get cell reception, but no data transfer. I can get momentary data if I tell the software to check for a software update. 3g pops up, it checks for an update, and when it is done, 3g goes away and I once again have absolutely no data transfer. Can't surf the web, or use any apk that requires data.
Anybody have any pointers? I have made sure that the mobile network option is checked in the settings. Aside from that, I have no clue where to begin.
Any help is greatly appreciated! TIA!
Only thing I can think of is the radio. I'm using the .627 radio from the inj3cttheory rom post in dev section.

Hi, and welcome to the tbot community!
a few quick questions,
prior to flashing did you check MD5 sums on both the radio and rom?
and did you delete the PG05IMG.zip file you flashed during the rooting process from your sdcard?
also this may sound like overkill but did you wipe everything (data/cache/dalvik/bat-stats) 3 times?
i would recommend re-downloading both the rom and the radio and check MD5 sums. then put them on your sdcard and make sure their is only one PG05IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard. this next stuff is important; connect phone to your computer and verify that adb recognizes your device. then reboot into recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/bat-stats 3 times each. and after that re-flash the rom first, let it do its thing as normal. after the rom is installed do not reboot just stay in recovery. at this time you need to use adb to reboot into the bootloader to flash the radio. after that just reboot like normal

Thanks for taking the time to write up your response.
To answer a few of your questions, I did check the MD5 for both the radio and the ROM, and found them both to match.
I did wipe thoroughly, at least 3 times, in fact I went so far as to go into the "Mounts" section of CWM Recovery, and I wiped everything (Data, Cache, System...) from there as well (save it be for the SDCard).
What I did NOT do, however, is ensure that the phone rebooted directly to the bootloader. Instead, I selected "reboot system now" from recovery, and just tried to catch the boot cycle to put it into the bootloader, but that failed.
I will re-wipe everything, and re-install the ROM, and this time I will make sure to reboot using adb directly into the bootloader and see how things go from there.
Thanks for the pointers. I will report back once I finish.
If that doesn't do it, I suppose I'll have to try some different radios...
EDIT: I also did delete the radio/baseband update from the SDCard after booting back up.
If that doesn't work it may be your SIM card. There have been reports where SIM cards randomly fail and data is unavailable. I don't think it has anything to with the rooting or flashing process that causes SIM failure. You may have to unroot to get SIM replacement though.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
OK, I went through the entire process over again, this time ensuring that I rebooted to the bootloader immediately after installing the ROM and letting it install the mr2 radio/baseband.
Results = no love.
Still no 4g/3g/1x.
I am now contemplating going completely back to stock to see if things work in stock form, and if they don't, then I suppose the sim card may be the issue.
OK, quick update. After little contemplation, I decided that reverting back to stock-unrooted was the most logical next step to take. I followed the steps outlined in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423
I only flashed the 1st file (PG05IMG_MR1_no_hboot.zip), and left the bootloader alone. So, as far as I understand, I still have an unlocked, s-off bootloader.
I now have data back.
My next question is, am I able to gain root on the software that is currently on the phone (1.13.605.7) without having to do any downgrades? Or are the exploits only functional on an older/downgraded build?
And my other question is, are there any ROMs in an RUU format that I can simply flash from my bootloader since it's still unlocked with s-off?
Success!
After reverting back to stock, I decided to attempt the rooting process again. Took the exact same steps as the first time, only this time I made sure I allowed the data connection to connect between each downgrade/upgrade/reboot before continuing on with the next step. I'm not sure if that's what made the difference, but it really is the only thing I changed. I didn't redownload any of the files. Simply used the same ones I used previously.
Anyway, I hope this thread serves as an aid to anyone else that might run into this issue.
Thanks for all the suggestions and help.
Congrats! Now get to flashing some awesome ROMs!

Hey guys,
Just want to say again how awesome this forums is. I have a Sprint Shift that I flashed 2 weeks ago with CM7 and it has been nice and stable, love it.
However, I have an issue now. It seems that my signal has gotten very poor and often switches to roaming and then back and is still worse in the same areas where I was pre-flashing and rooting.
Does rooting and flashing affect the PRL at all (I had to downgrade etc...)?
And how can I easily upgrade to the latest PRL? I am not interested in the Verizon PRL since I don't want to get kicked off for excessive roaming.
I searched some posts and the process seemed confusing and one talked of a different program that makes it easier but never went into details.
Would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

Make a nandroid backup of your CM7 rom. Flash a stock sense rom like Synergy and update your prl and profile. Sometimes I do it twice just to make sure Make sure you are updated to the latest radio's both wimax and cellular radio's before you update your prl though.
When you downgrade with root it's flashing older radio's onto your device including wimax radio.
Next restore cm7 nandroid backup, hope that helps.

Thanks guys. I did read that thread but I'm not sure what a Nandroid backup is.
Is that form the boot screen from the clockwork app? It just backs everything up to the SD card?
Now when I flash to the Synergy ROM do I have to follow the same steps I did for CM7? Like clear the caches and all those steps that I followed when I installed CM7?
Lastly, how can I make sure to update to the latest radio??
Thank you so much for your help guys, I was beginning to think that Sprint started to suck and that I Would have to switch carriers.
Also, I am having trouble figuring out which radio to flash. CDMA or Wimax? Is this something that I do when I reload synergy or flash after I load CM7 again?
But mostly I don't know which version to download. Thanks so much for your help in advance.
I was using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357157

You make a nandroid backup in recovery, it's the backup option in the backup/restore menu. It will make a complete backup of your current ROM and can be restored on the same menu.
Whenever you flash a fresh ROM you need to fully wipe. Wiping cache, dalvik and data.. Optionally formatting system and data.
For the radios check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082192
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Yeah basicly what crump said. Just make sure before flashing the radio's in hboot/bootloader that you wipe cache/dalvik-cache in recovery or just do a data factory wipe. When I installed the radio's it was before a lot of knew that not wiping cache and dalvik-cache could make it so your phone won't boot, so I just ended up having to pull my sdcard out in order to boot into recovery to wipe. As soon as I wiped I powered off my phone, put my sdcard back in and it booted justed just fine.
Thanks so much guys!
So I just checked the PRL on my phone and it is already the latest PRL... So it must be the older radios that are causing the issue?
So can I just flash the new radios right now with the current CM7 rom that I have?
Would I still need to clear the cache etc.. if it's possible to do it to my existing rom?
Also, do I select from Froyo-Based RUUs or Gingerbread RUUs?
Thanks again everyone
And just a heads up, you can't update prl using synergy rom, as the feature doesn't work properly...

You should be able to update with your current Rom. The most recent Radios are for CDMA: 1.08.00.0506 , and for WiMax: 27240. Just make sure you follow the instructions on the thread.
And if your still stuck while reading the instructions there is a video in the development section. Can't link you to it cause I'm on my phone

Oh man, thank you guys so much BUT,
I followed the video exactly.
I first wiped the dalvik and cache, rebboted my phone, then shut down. and booted into hboot.
Followed the video everything went smooth, pressed power to reboot after everything got updated.
Now my phone is stuck at the HTC Screen! Help, I don't know what happened or what to do, I followed all the instructions exactly! I cant use my phone!
Nevermind guys, I panicked but kept reading. Saw someone post this
"Remove ur battery then ur sdcard. Power up into recovery (hold volume down + power) wipe dalvik cache and cache partition, then reboot. After reboot, power down again insert ur sdcard and power ur phone like normal and u should be all good. Just happened to me this morning and its all good now!"
Did exactly that and it worked! Thanks soo much everyone, you guys are the best!

That's why I said both here and in the radio thread that I did a data factory reset before flashing the radios. It doesn't seem like wiping cache's always helps to avoid getting stuck on the splash screen, having to pull battery and sdcard ect.

Flashing radios will screw up your boot. Definitely need to wipe /system, and more importantly format /cache partition via advanced -> mounts and storage in CWM, as well as dalvik and reflash your rom after flashing either the Wimax or cellular radios. I've gotten stuck at the white HTC screen a billion times. Might even want to try booting up with a blank SD card or a different SD card. It seems that my SD card has some corruption because when I plug my phone in via usb or via sd card reader windows asks to scan the sd card. So I plan on formatting my SD card soon. But either way I was stuck at the white HTC screen after flashing my radio and tried everything and it didn't start booting my rom until I put in a blank SD card.
Also regarding PRLs: I'm back on PRL 60683 and off of 11115. I think I'll be staying here.

They'd only affect mobile data performance. 11115 didn't seem to be roaming on to Verizon anymore and I had issues with connectivity stability so I went back to the latest Sprint PRL (60683)
Hey,
Starting this thread up as a place to figure out the "Preparing Sim Card" problem.
Essentially, if you flash CleanROM 4.1 with CWM, you'll probably get this error. There were plethora of fixes out there, such as:
1. Clearing all cache (fastboot/recovery)
2. Clearing all data/force stopping problem apps (people/dialer/messaging)
3. RUUing back to stock
4. Flashing a new radio
5. Removing/Changing SIM cards
6. Trying dialer trick:
.....a. Go to Dialer (if you can't access it, clear the data in it first)
.....b. dial *#*#4636#*#*
.....c. Turn off the radio
.....d. Turn on the radio, and right as the toast appears, choose something from the drop down menu.
.....e. Run a ping test to make sure everything's alright.
7. Used TWRP to clear system/flash new ROM
8. Tried another ROM with GSM Patch
CURRENT STATUS: WORKING!!!! =D
The answer to all your problems issss........
Well, it's multi-step
1. Make sure to flash back via RUU (preferably 1.82 since 1.85 was a b**** for me to re-root T_T)
2. Make sure to unlock your bootloader again
3. Install back CWM (I know...wtf?!) <<THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT (believe it or not)
4. Go back and flash CleanMOD 3.1 or something (just anything below 4.1 should do the trick) [if just installing CleanMOD doesn't work, install the GSM Patch too!]
5. NOW install TWRP
6. Install CleanMOD 4.1
7. SUCCESS!!!
Also, thanks to tehdef, who also tried this method:
Here is what I did to break my phone.
I had the following MODS.
-AOKP 6.1
-CWM
Decided I wanted to test something on CleanROM 4.1
- Flashed CR4.1 in CWM
Got stuck in Boot Cycle and CWM would not load
1. Locked Bootloader
2. Installed 1.85 Evita RUU
3. Unlocked Bootloader
4. Installed TWRP
5. Flashed AOKP 6.1
At this point, I still had an issue. Instead of receiving the "Preparing SIM" Message, I had absolutely zero signal, and I could not "SAVE" an APN.
6. Rebooted to Bootloader
7. Reset to Factory while in AOKP
8. TWRP Loads
9. Reboot to System
My phone now has signal and full contacts and I can make calls and send Texts and MMS with no additional modifications. Please note that with AOKP Superuser comes installed and works just fine, so for whatever reason I did not have to root my device.
NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE CLEANROM 3.1 IN ORDER TO GET BACK TO A WORKING STATE!!! Just any rom supporting the unofficial CWM should do. =] (at least I think so, but I'll confirm when someone get's back to me =D)
Thanks goes out to...
Scott for his awesome ROMs and his life lessons

We are well past that point, redpoint. We've already flashed, and now things aren't working correctly.
In my specific case, XDA Mobile didn't Bold/Red the text to use TWRP instead of CWM, so when I flashed and attempted to boot, I got stuck in a boot cycle. I went back to try to get into recovery, and it wouldn't even go there. So I re-locked, and flashed the 1.85 RUU.
Now I'm getting the same 'Preparing' issue only when I attempt to open up Phone, Contacts, Messaging, all on the stock RUU while being Locked.
I can't even attempt to re-flash the Stock RUU because I'm getting Error 170 on the RUU installer.
This majorly sucks.
Error 170 is a usb communication error and is fixable. Turn off HTC sync. Check for it in running processes. If you still get the error reboot to the bootloader make sure the phone says fastboot usb in red then start the ruu.

thats a driver error do u have htc drivers installed? good usb cable? tried a diff slot?
if not install htc sync let the first portion install. when it comes time for htc sync inself to install cancel. and just the drivers will be installed

The OP never stated any of that, and it doesn't seem that he is stuck in the same way you are. So I was asking if he tried to flash TWRP, and then reflash the ROM. Which is not listed as one of his "possible fixes".
I had the same error. I believe I was able to reproduce it by adding my Google Play Account then adding my gmail account (with the same email address) using Activesync. Right after adding my gmail account I would get an application crash (cant recall which one) the phone would reboot and go into a reboot cycle when "Preparing Sim Card". To avoid the issue I did the following:
1. Wipe System, Wipe Data
2. Flash CleanROM 4.1 DE
3. Wipe Cache
4. Install Mods
5. Boot up, add Google Account from the setup wizard
6. Turn on Auto-Sync from Wizard
7. Go into Settings > Accounts > Uncheck sync Email,Contacts, Calendar
8. Clear Data for Email, Contacts, Calendar apps.
9. Add gmail via Activesync w/ Email/Contact/Calendar sync

Well, I tried emailing and stuff, and it seems anything regarding data seems to be alright. It just seems to be the issue with phone/sms data now. I believe it's something software related as it still reads my sim just fine, and it recognizes when it gets a call. Just when I get a call, it repeatedly FCs. I might give it a try though, so thanks!

Sorry, I had to go out for lunch, so I didn't really go into much detail. I have tried using TWRP and is still using that atm, and also tried flashing a rom with GSM Patch, which I'll edit the OP to match. Both of these did not work and I'm going to try and pull a logcat or something. Will update when I get it
Just got mine to flash. I noticed though that for whatever reason my current 1.85 had an _r2 at the end, and the one I'm flashing does not. Curious if ATT network is rejecting due to the RUU version.
Guess we will find out when it's done.
Edit: Nope, nada... Same issue.
Curious though why none of my contacts sync. seems like this is a contacts issue for me.

i feel like the dialer and the contacts are linked together. if we can solve one, we can probably solve both. I looked in my catlog and they stated that they couldnt find a particular file/db in the /data/data folder. ill look into this and see what happens
Did either of you try flashing a different rom like xi40, or sick sense, and do a system, cache, dalvik, factory reset, wipe from twrp before you flash a rom, and see how that goes

Unfortunately the Android.acore process has stopped when I tried to sync my Gmail contacts after clearing everything.
I'm having the exact same issues. I've usually been able to figure out all my own screw ups but just not this time. I too flashed cleanrom 4.1 using cwm because i failed at reading the directions. Got stuck at recovery and was able to install a 1.85 ruu and them proceeded to put twrp on it and flash cleanrom 4.1. Everything seemed fine but then i noticed that my xfinity email would open and and then quickly close. Didn't think much of it, but then i realized that also the phone and contacts do the same thing. I've tried everything but holy water to get this fixed including trying other roms, fixing permissions in recovery, clearing phone and contacts data, deleting db.journal file, and shaking the phone really hard....
Any ideas?
Something is corrupt.
I want to put AOKP back on the phone, because I honestly think it's Sense related.

lol at the shaking your phone really hard XD
Anyways, I have a theory:
there are two ways we COULD possibly fix this:
1. obtain a rom that has root. Get root explorer or somehow get into /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/ and delete .db-journal if its in there. Do this in conjunction with clearing out the data of all the affected apps and their sister apps (i.e. Contacts, Contacts Storage, Contacts Sync) and force stopping all of them. Can't test this cause bootloader refuses to unlock atm)
2.lock the bootloader, RUU to 1.82 (NOTE: NOT 1.85!) and try to unlock using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734558. REMEMBER take out your SIM card! but maybe this might help not 100% sure if this is what caused it for me, so it's best to consider it too. Can't test this right now because I am stuck without a BL unlock and i can't get root on this firmware
*EDIT* ahahhahahah i lied. no sim card needed, so why would it rely on mobile data? ahh im such a silly person alright here goes!
i'll let you know when i get out of my pickle, but it might be a while. That, or i might just get pissed off enough to just go to the store and look like an idiot cause i really do feel like one right now and I need to get the phone working T_T

You soft bricked your phone because you are using 4.0.4 as the device now ships with ICS- k0nane's root kernel won't work for ICS. That root method only works for GB. You need to put CWM on your phone to root ICS (flash superuser or supersu zip through CWM). Also once you have CWM on your phone you can flash any ROM -stock or otherwise- to your phone through CWM. The link with the other person having the same issue was resolved...

unfortunately, i am one of those people who literally need step my step instructions and im not too sure you would like to help me through this long process. i have no idea where to start and do i just ignore the google framework error and try to "ROOT" again?
I am very sorry for being such an inconvenience

Run Odin 1.85.exe, and prepare Odin:
Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.
Click PDA and select the TAR for clockworkdmod you downloaded. Click PIT and select the Blaze PIT your downloaded.
DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU HAVE REPARTITION UNCHECKED
Step 2:
Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.
Remove the battery.
Reinsert the battery.
Hold down Volume Up + Volume Down
Then while holding the voume keys plug in USB cable
You should now be in Download Mode
Step 3:
Make Sure repartition is still unchecked and click START in Odin.))))))))))))))
note* for the superuser.zip, i just downloaded the file and dragged it into my microsd, is that right???
-WHEN i am done with these steps, i get back to the "Welcome to SGH-T769, TOUCH THE ANDROID TO BEGIN" but whenever i touch the android, it gives me the same error "GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK HAS STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY" again, IS THIS SUPPOSE to happen?

Try to boot cwm and factory reset to clear up framework issue. Edit: wipe davlik also (located in advanced) .Yes putting SU zip on your sd card is right. You will need to 'install from SD card' and then choose zip to install to flash su for root. If framework continues to be an issue after factory reset then I would suggest flashing a custom ROM (same flashing process as root normally - read ROM op first!). There are quite a few stock based ROMs that are great. Or you could go straight to JB/cm10. Up to you.. there's so many great ROMs for this device!

Check for superuser or supersu in your app drawer. If either is there (I don't know which one you decided to use) then you are rooted.:good:

Actually, depending upon what time frame you rooted the idont device, rooting this phone with CWM is SIGNIFICANTLY easier than jailbreaking. Your problems of course, started because you didn't come here in the first place. Had you done that, it would have been a breeze.
As for your question about changing roms and will you have to re-root?
Don't look at it that way...If you want to switch to another rom that is applied through CWM, you're pretty much doing the same process you did when you came here, you're just only selecting the other rom through CWM. Don't forget to reset/wipe through CWM first though!

if your rooted on ICS u can flash anything in cwm. For a daily driver I use cm 10, bug free. There's also slim bean, aokp, pacman, paranoid android.
Whatever you choose create a backup first in cwm, than flash ROM, than gapps, than factory reset/wipe cache/ in advanced wipe delvik. Reboot and give it time to boot. I would also recommend a launched such as nova or holo. They will allow u to backup your home screen and drawer preferances , and hide apps. Google can automatically redownload all your apps minus any save data. Tb can be a pain when switching roms, not all apps will work coming from ICS to jelly bean. Make sure and be safe, go ahead and write down all your contacts before flashing. I've flashed jb on three different phones and lost the contacts each time. After the initial flash of jb , flashing updates and such you won't lose any contacts as long as they are synced with Google. Happy flashing

if your rooted you grab the zip from here http://get.cm/?device=t769 , now you need the gapps or known as your Google app pack you can find those in the blaze bible. Once both are downloaded, reboot into cwm. Now flash the cm 10 zip ( go for the newest one the stable is quite old and missing some features) once it completes flash the gapps zip. Now do a factory reset, now wipe cache, last wipe delvik. Once you've done these steps reboot your phone. Now be patient and wait. It can take in some cases 10 mins to completely boot. If everything was done correctly you will be greeted with a setup prompt. Enjoy
Apps from Google play are listed in my apps. Check your apps play page to see what version of android they are compatible with
Oh yeah your ROM has your kernel included. The kernels listed in the dev section are for over clocking and under voltage and are for people who've done this before. Besides I don't use them, not necessary.
