HELP!!
I've got visionary+ installed on my dhd, i've got goldcard. I've temprooted....what now? Can i flash a rom or will that brick my phone??
And yes i know there are guides all over the place but i dont understand them.....can someone talk me through this in baby talk...thank you
I'm pretty sure you shouldn't flash before permanent root
It's all good now. Worked it out and now loving life. Perm rooted my dhd. Now running coredroid v7 and even flashed new radio......life is good. I'm a little hesitant to flash new themes though for some reason incase it all goes wrong. Also I'm sure coredroid v7 is meant to be running sense 3.0 and it still shows 2.1 on about phone? Any ideas?

Hi Guys,
Please excuse this possibly misplaced post (newb alert)
Sometime ago i read as much as i could before embarking on the root/unlock process after this i flashed the recommended radio for the rom at the time and all seemed to be well.
The rom i flashed is LD 2.2.3 & flashed kernel V2.2.9 to go with it. I have been using this since it was done.
I have recently booted to recovery/bootloader and i get an error saying that PD98img isnt/cannot be found etc.
Also whilst looking more carefully at the phones software information-under Settings, i see that my DHD's build number is 1.72.405.3.
This has lead me to believe that i have somewhere deviated from the correct method of this whole process and i am now worried that im not benefitting from this entire thing.
I am happy now to follow the masses up to Lee's GB ROM, but i want the foundations to be correct/ even if just in my head first.
I do NOT remember downgrading at all so this may be where i need to start.
What would help i think is a list of the steps i ought to have taken and perhaps the steps i need to accend to GB.
Please be gentle on me guys.....newb n all
Best Regards

I don't know that much but, if your radio s-off, and eng s-off and you've installed lee's froyo rom then you're fine.
That message you get in bootloader is normal.
Join the "masses" upto Lee's GB rom it's excellent. -Altho wait until tomorrow as he's making a few touch-ups to v3.1.3

Thanks for the prompt reply EmprtArea,
I did think i had done everything fairly correctly, its just that build No. 1.72.405.3 that completely threw me, from what i have read today in a rush, this number is rootable but shouldnt be able to run another ROM without a downgrade.....i may be getting my wires crossed though. Is there process in particular you recommend i follow for the transition to GB?
I think i have to use an up graded version of CWM dont i? 3.?????
Have you noticed much of an improvement with the GB ROM? I see most people are more than happy with it, forsaking the expected glitches/bugs in a cooked ROM like Lee's
Thanks for your help once again.

P.S Keep Up The Good Work LeeDrOiD!! A few beers coming from me when i get your GB ROM up n running here
ClockworkMod is able to flash anything when you have it in your phone + S-OFF, so it is not unusual that you do not need to downgrade. Bootloader does not get informed about what has been flashed in ClockworkMod, so the number remains the same.
Ahhhhhhh, that clarifies it totally, thankyou very much for that snippet. Everyday is like a learning curve on XDA, its cool.
Thankyou, both of you. For a moment there i thought id jumped the gun and messed it up.
Thanks
My friend has a shift on cricket which was working fine until she downloaded the 2.3.3 OTA update. Now, she is unable to play YouTube videos. It says something about an error and to try again.
Additionally, I am unable to root her phone using any possible method I can find. Nothing is working to root her phone.
As of right now, she is running 2.3.3 with the 1.08.00.0506 radio and 98.001 hboot.
We need help asap. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not sure about YouTube...
If your running the Gingerbread update your not going to be able to root until a new exploit is found.

dont fret man i have the same problem. i tried the ##data# fix and it wouldnt work for me.
i had 2.3.3 and now i am rooted after the hboot downgrade, perm root, and i flashed x99gb rom. It says its stock rooted and i tried eveyrthing and am stumped.
MMS doesnt work either but i would rather have youtube lol

I believe what you want is HERE.
Got Youtube working with the MikShifted G rom. Stock gingerbread wasnt liking anything i did for youtube.
Just like stock but with more options. MMS is my next target.
If you need to get root with s-off use the HBoot downgrade then perm root. it is a little tricky but its worth it. just be sure to READ everything before attempting. afterwards you can flash a nice replacement rom like Mikshifted g. i tried CM7, stock, and antoehr non-sense rom and they were not liking cricket.
Hboot downgrade

Well let us know how it goes.

So I just picked up the Sensation. I'd like to root and flash it. But since it's so new and shiny, I'm a little worried. I've done this all before on my Vibrant and Nook, but just want to know if there are any precautions specifically for the Sensation. Also, a a nice ROM recommendation would be nice. Although I'm considering the HD Revolution 1.8.8 I saw in the other section.
Thanks guys.
totally safe to do it. just follow the instructions on the dev section and you should be set to flash roms. the revolution rom is a good one to start with, im currently using leedroid v1.3. i was worried about this too because it was my first time doing something like this, but you dont have anything to worry about
Revolutionary is an awesome tool It's so so simple...even simpler than unlocking a Nexus One, if I remember that process correctly (fastboot oem unlock...?).
InsertCoin 2.3.4 is awesome, as is Android Revolution HD.
Rooting is cake, just read and follow directions and you'll be fine.
Are you a TMOUS user? You may want to flash a TMOUS rom to gain full data speeds. The roms mentioned are not built off TMOUS release.
This is my first android phone. And flashing really felt like piece of cake. Haven't heard of anyone bricking their phone yet so just go ahead.
Lol awesome, originally i just wanted to post sth in the revolution Rom thread. Since I don't have 10 posts and am a new user, I'll have to wait 5 minutes now, write another post and so on until I'm finally at 10 posts to comment on the newest version oh ARHD

The cake is a lie
But seriously. If you've done to it before to other devices you'll be fine, just use one of the guides in the development section.
I had a minor issue when i flashed my TMOUSA Sensation 4g, i have tried a few roms, including the stock rom. When i went S-Off and Rooted the phone never stays in Vibrate or Silent. It always reverts to some strange version of audible where some ui clicks are full volume but notifications are super quiet. Dont have 10 posts so i cant do a proper bug report
s-off get the device out from warranty in my home
so i need root my device with delaying getting out from warranty for 6 months then free to flash room
I was quite happy with Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.0 until recent but now its hanging an crashing all the time and sometimes the display will not switch on (even after battery was out).
Now I want to try HTCs ICS to see if this is better (at least until CM9 is out). I had a backup from my stock HTC Gingerbread and tried to recover it (and then wanted to do the update over the air) but it is going into a reboot loop after the HTC jingle. I assume because it is expecting a different firmware.
Can someone point me to a GUIDE maybe? I'm sure I just have to flash the old firmware but how and which?
Here bro http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 just dl 1.17 firmware and follow the guide and u should be good. If have any problems pm me otherwise get me on gtalk [email protected]
I have Super CID. Does this change the procedure?
Nevermind I just have to read FIRST then ask!
Super cid makes it easier and no worries man, I'm not one of those that chew u out or for asking questions, even stupid ones. I'm here to help anybody the best I can
Thanks for your help I really appreciate it. I tried my old backup with 1.17 and it booted. But the ota update from HTC was only 9 MB and I was unable to install it. After it rebooted to install it, it showed a package with an arrow and a droid for a very short moment then after that a warning sign with a droid. I left it there for about 20 min but it never changed.
I am trying this now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941
But mike writes "Note: You will need to flash the appropriate 3.32.405.x firmware located in this thread" but I can't find 3.32.405.x only3.32.401.x

That's simple man, just use the 3.32 firmware from the link I gave u. It's 3.32 for all the new ics roms bro
Your were right, it worked. It's installing all my apps now. That never worked for me automatically. Maybe a good sign. I hope its more stable under heavy load then Virtuous and doesn't run out of RAM like HTC gingerbread did (and killing the launcher in the process) AND Virtuous did this also but it "only" got terribly slow then.
Well some have liked rom and then there's some, including myself, that didn't. I like the elegantica, I think that's how u spell it, or energy rom, but if u need anything else man don't hesitate to pm me or find me on gtalk
I installed Sensation_3.32.401.5_odexed but now I wanted to recover The Sims free Play via titanium but it failed. Ceramic destroyer worked after recovery including saves. Sims recovery got aborted and now I even can not install it via market. Do I need to flash the deodexed ROM?
Possibly, not to sure
Hi guys,
This is my first post here on xda so be gentle
Okay, I currently have the ICS Virtuous Quattro RC3 ROM installed on my T-Mobile G2. However, it has been freezing a lot of me lately, the Trebuchet launcher constantly stops working so i am looking at flashing to the Virtuous Affinity or a sense 3.0 ROM however that requires a DZ Hboot, which i dont have. My question is, how did the ICS ROM managed to get installed on my stock G2 hboot without bricking? I have read that it required the new HBOOT however in my haste to install it i never bothered reading the fine print...
it says HBOOT 0.76.2000
could anyone enlighten me?
cheers
If ur phone boots, it's not bricked, and personally I don't have ur phone but u should flash ROMs for ur phone only. U may be lucky to flash a ROM not for ur phone, but it may cause future problems..
There is a difference between requires and requires.
Consequences of not having something required can range from brick, through bootloop down to the phone just freezing up.
How about you just put the Hboot in and reset current ROM?
The ROM was made for my phone I suppose i got lucky, I am hesitant however because when i was rooting it i got it stuck in a boot loop and had to pay someone to fix it unfortunately hadn't discovered this forum.
Anyways was just wondering how important installing the dz hboot is to getting sense 3.0 on my g2. As i was still able to install ICS without the dz hboot
