Hello everyone,
im am new here and i need some help. I just rooted my samsung captivate and i honestly have no idea what to do from here. I wanted to make it all cool and stuff but i have no idea what i am doing. Help would be appreciated.
thanks ryan
Install Rom Manager and flash CWM Recovery and then pick a custom rom of your choice.
I suggest that you do plenty of reading in the forums, especially the stickies, before you do anything. It's best to have a good working knowledge before you get yourself into trouble.
+1 for reading
I would not flash anything till you know:
The build number of your phone
What odin is
What clockwork recovery is
What three button combo is
What download mode is

Other than installing ROM Manager, using Bay_wolf's AIO software will greatly reduce the human error involved with flashing. Check it out as well. Personally I haven't found ROM Manager to be particularly useful, but that's probably because I'm on Serendipity.

I must agree with Wonner. I'm somewhat new to this (although I have some amateur developing background) and reading before doing anything would've saved me alot of trouble. I managed to fix just about everything with stickies!
My advice: Be patient and take time to really learn about what you're doing before anything! Oh and also, BACKUP
If you just want "to make it all cool and stuff" I would play around with different launchers until you reading enough about flashing and how to unbrick your phone. You could end up in a world of hurt if you don't know what your doing.
Then when you feel like you know what you are doing and are ready to flash your first rom, read some more. Also learn how to back up your phone. Learn about build numbers and how your phone enters recovery mode.
"Knowledge is power" - Lawrence Fishburne (Higher Learning)
Theres apps for different types of launchers...
But if your looking into roms. As stated above know and make sure your phone has the 3 button recovery and download mode. If not then its smart to invest in a pre-made jig from ebay or make your own just in case. It's really hard to hardbrick these phones so dont be to scared.
Hi guys, I'm new here.
I have a problem... And I have tried very hard to find a fix over the past few days, but no result. So here I am.
I have a HTC Hero, which was running Android v2.1-update
I rooted it, and used a corrupted rom.
Now I cannot use it. When I start the phone, it takes ages to load, then I am presented with a strange unlock screen. I unlock it, and I am presented with a white HTC-Logo screen. If I wait long enough, a menu appears asking me which update to apply. I select the first, and I am given a choice of 3 languages. I select English, and hit Next. This is where I am stuck. I have an o2 simcard (which works fine) and it doesn't detect it. It keeps asking me to insert the simcard with an animation on how to do this.
I'm not sure if this could be called "Bricked" as I don't really know the meaning of the term, but either way, a Brick is the only thing it's good for right now.
I am desperate for some help. I have just bought it and am feeling kinda sick now. I learned my lesson. Don't Root!
Thanks in advance!
Well..."don't root" is not really a lesson, just when you do something next time, you have to make sure that you are doing everything correct, and following 100% the guides that you find here in XDA..
My Hero is rooted since I bought it...
Anyway, Do you have recovery installed? Amon RA or clockworks?
To find it out, just turn off you phone and press Home+Off button for a few second, then it will go into recovery.
From there you can copy another rom and flash it.
I am currently using Elelinux 3.6, but you can find many others.
By the way, which rom did u flash?
Hi, thanks for the fast reply
I cannot get onto the homescreen to install any apps at all, so all I got to work with is the recovery menu. Fast Boot and SimLock.
I installed what I now know to be a new lockscreen, which was about 2.5mb. So obviously not right now, but I rushed into it without looking things over properly.
I might be able to fix it, if the simcard was detected. It stops me at that point during recovery.
I rooted the device using a terminal app, but as the data has now been wiped, the app doesnt exist. And I cant reinstall it again because I cannot get to the homescreen.
You don't need to install any app, I don't understand if you have recovery installed or not.
Just press home+off button for a few seconds when your phone is OFF.
What do u see?
That gives me the red ! sign, and I can get a menu up by pressing volUp+off
This menu has Fast Boot and SimLock.
Yes, that is the normal bootloader, that means you don't have recovery installed.
You could try to unroot your phone by install the HTC sync software on your PC first, then use it to reinstall the stock RUU 2.1, that you can find on the HTC website:
http://www.htc.com/nl/help/htc-hero/#download (change the language)
Once you have done that, you should be able to root it again if you want, but make sure you will install recovery this time.
Look for the guides in the Hero forum, or you can use this:
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/threads/how-to-root-the-2-1-ruu-or-ota-update-for-the-hero.1930/
Hi. I found this a while ago, and tried it. But I cannot enable USB Debug, as I cannot do ANYTHING on the device...
I just ends up giving me a 170 error, always.
Are u talking about the HTC sync driver?
Yes. I think so.
RUU_Herrange_UK_2.73.61.66_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
It starts a utility up which tells me to make sure the device is connected via usb to my pc, check battery is 30% or higher and something else.
Then it tells me to wait, and returns a 170 error.
Then you should check the HTC Hero forum or Google for any suggestions, I am sure people had the same problem in the past.
I am afraid I can't help you more than this, I am no developer..
Okay, thanks anyways
I have already raked Google and help forums, coming here is my last resourt.
Keep searching, I am sure there is a way to fix it, I have read so many things about the Hero in this two years, unfortunately I forgot most of it...

I will do. I have no choice, the warrantly is now void xD
So basically I am new to this android stuff, and I just rooted my One X. Used Root Check to verify and it says it's rooted. Now I understand that there are tons of ROMS to flash, and I tried to use the InsertCoin one, but whenever I enter recovery, and press "recovery" it would bring me to a screen with a green circle and arrow and a hard disk and then it would bring me to a red warning triangle. I read on the insertcoin site to press the up arrow + power key to keep going but nothing worked.
I am new to all the "terms" and "functions" of the ROMS, just wondering if anyone has some pointers and what not? Again, sorry if I sound like someone who isn't trying to research, but sometimes when you're new to something, you really don't know where to start.
go to HTCDEV.com and sign up, make an account, get your bootloader unlocked...
From the phones list pick "other supported" and follow the instructions.
Once you have bootloader unlocked you can look in the forum for instructions on installing CMW. You need that recovery system to flash ROMS and crap.
After you got CMW, you can go ahead and explore.
Remember, you're a noob, so take it slow, careful, and always, BACK UP.
Do a nandroid backup, via CMW. Backup will be your saviour if things go WTF.
Congrats on taking the plunge and rooting! You'll find it's the best decision you made, next to buying your awesome One X. The best pointer I can give you is READ, READ, READ. Do your research before attempting any mods. It is very hard to brick your device, and 99 times out of 100 it's recoverable, but usually people brick when they do something they didn't quite understand. The last thing we want to see is another thread from you titled "Help! I bricked my HOX, what do I do??!?!?". So think about what you want to do and read the threads in the development section. Actually read the thread, not just the OP, that way you can see what types of issues people are encountering and how they are fixing them.
So to answer your questions, the reason why you get the green circle with the arrow when you click recovery is because you don't have a custom recovery installed, ie. one that will let you flash ROMs and mods. You need to unlock your bootloader first, then flash clockworkmod or TWRP (both custom recoveries) and then you can start flashing ROMs. How do you do these things? By reading the threads for them in the development section and following the instructions, of course Best of luck to you, and if you have any more questions, we are here to help. Godspeed!
I've read a lot within the HTC inspire section, and from there I've rooted the phone (I see I have super user in my drawer) but from here I'm looking for a sense 4.0 ROM that I can install. The instructions are very overwhelming. Is there someone who could please give me easy instructions on how to install a ROM? Thank you.

No one is gonna spoon feed this to you. this is about development and learning. if you are too lazy to spend time and learn than this is probably too much for you and you should stay stock. people stop thinking rom flashing is the 'in thing' to do because you have an android phone and you googled 'cool hacks for android'

Flashing your first ROM:
-Download the ROM of your choice from the dev section
-Do not unpack/unzip the ROM
-Copy the ROM to the root of your sd card (Root= not in a folder)
-(optional) Backup your apps using Titanium Backup.(this only applies once you have root)
-Create a backup of your current ROM using rom manager.(this only applies once you have root)
-Boot your phone into recovery using either rom manager, or by booting into h-boot (to do this you are going to need to turn fastboot off by going to settings>applications>uncheck fast boot, then turn your phone off and turn it back on pressing both power+volume down, until the h-boot menu appears. Use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery then press power to select.)
-Using the volume buttons scroll down to to down to wipe data/factory reset. (unless you are upgrading, THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL!)
-Press the power button to select.
-Use the volume buttons to scroll down to YES-- delete all user data, use the power button to select.
-Scroll down to Advanced press power to select.
-Scroll to Wipe Dalvik Cache press power to select.
-Go down to Yes-- Wipe Dalvik Cache use the power button to select.
-Select go back
-Go to Install zip from sdcard and select it using the power button.
-Select choose zip from sdcard.
-Scroll down and find the ROM you wish to flash press the power button to select it.
-Select Yes - Install (roms name))
-You are now flashing a rom!
-Once the rom has finished flashing select reboot system now.
Things to note:
-Your first boot might take a few minutes do to deodexing and zip align.
-If your phone keeps cycling the HTC (white screen) you are going to need to go back to recovery, do a full wipe, and reflash the rom.
-Be sure to read the devs full instructions and faq before flashing!

Why are you people so mean? I started by saying I read a lot! I DID READ and after reading it became overwhelming. I am sorry that the first few of you were bothered by my post. It probably would have been better served if you simply had not said anything. Try helping next time and not being so rude.
Reinaldo33897Thank you. This has focused me in on one area, this is all I needed. My gus=ess is you use this phone. I have had this since ne from AT&T expecting Android 4.0 to be available for the phone (or so the salesrep then said it would) In your opnion, what is the best,or the one, that you are using?

There are some really great roms out there. We can also use the desire HD roms as well so we are not limited to just the inspire devs. If you want to try an awesome ICS rom give IceColdSandwich 8.1.1 a shot ver at DesireHD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450962
Just one thing ICS is not officially released so the customs have a few bugs one being video cam not working but until the official release is out for the devs to gt the source codes we have to deal with it if we want ICS now. Gingerbread roms are solid.
There is also aospx here by exists as wll as roms Redemption and Melchizedek but these are No Sense ICS roms.
If you want to stick with sense try Android Revolution 9.04 as well as Coredroid they are very solid Gingerbread roms.
Once you learn to flash roms and feel comfortable with it try a few on for size and see what works best for you. What may be great with one person may be totally hated by another. Flashing is simple and cant really hurt once you feel comfortable.
Just one WARNING flashing radios are dangerous waters with the psibility of bricking the phone I would truly learn and learn more before you attempt that game. I dont bother cause radios are based on your region and where your located. Even if a dev says his rom works best with so-so radio I dont bother cause the dev may be in another country and Im in USA and the radio may not work. Tried it and got crap for service so now I stick with the stock radio that came with phone. Well sorry to write a book but enjoy we are here to help each other and the worse thing I hate is seeing someone turn their $400 into a paperweight.
Allow me to provide some input here ...
Given the nature of some replies posted in here, may I remind you about:
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.

The better lot I saw replying here are senior members, and as such I actually expect you guys to behave and act as such. If a question from someone who's entirely new to the matter - even if the answer can be found by searching - doesn't sit too well with you then either don't reply at all OR try to be helpful by pointing her/him into the right direction.
Consider this a "wiggly finger" with no further consequences.
Thank you for your attention.
I know it's confusing even for people like me who has been here to find a proper guide to install a (custom) ROM! I am assuming you do want to install a custom ROM! Basic steps are below:
First and foremost is to Root and S-off your device
You also will need a recovery. I use 4ext, and it works wonderful
Then go to the custom ROM you like, download and look for installation instructions
Put the zip file in the root of the SD card
Once you install recovery, then reboot to recovery and pick install from zip, and pick the custom ROM zip file you put at the root of your SD card
Also read through WIKI http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_HD, although some information is old, it do have lot of resources.
BTW, there is no such thing as best custom ROM, it all depends on what apps you use with and where you live. Best bet is to flash a ROM a day, and see what you like! Good luck.

I say you needed to use the g2x android development forums on this site to find a suitable jb rom, not this other site. The one click method isn't very stable, so nvflash is most definitely what you need to try to get working. There are very thorough tutorials on how to get that to work. Do you know which clockwork recovery version you have installed? Should be 5.0.2.0. Once you get home, I suggest you read read read. Do as much research you can to make sure you can follow nvflash instructions to the letter. I know I personally spent about a week researching to make sure I had a solid understanding of the procedure.
I recommend getting nvflash going to get clockwork properly installed, then download a rom from xda, nowhere else. I would even say use a gb rom before trying a jb ...the jb roms are hackfest versions, so they have (from my experience) much poorer battery life, and lack hardware acceleration. Netflix and many 3d games won't work. You can use adampk or mazout's roms but they don't have working radio, i.e. no phone/SMS functionality.

Boot into recovery, there should be an option to format or wipe system. Do that then flash the ROM. It won't boot if you flash it over stock.
Also, use the paranoid android rom found in the development section, same cyanogenmod base but works better.

Ok, wait I think I understand what you're saying now. If you can, pm the op of that thread you used to unbrick. Ask that person if you need some kind of different file in that .zip file to work on your carrier.
I remember having to use that guide to get back to stock. Glad to see you're making progress. I know it can be frustrating when devices get wacky. Good luck!

hehehe sorry, I am not fully used to the right terms so I rather stay in the gray zone by using words like ''thing''
but I can now oficially say I was talking about ROMs
finally, I managed to bring back my phone to the stock mode everything seem to work!
now I can brick it again!
thx for the help!
I began to wonder if it was just a matter of changing APN settings?
