Files to get your Mesmerize back to stock 2.1 and 2.2.1

Updated to include 2.2.1
#####IF YOU HAVE VOODOO ENABLED, DISABLE LAGFIX BEFORE YOU USE ODIN#####
If you are unfamiliar with how to use Odin pay attention to what you are doing. Flashing the wrong file or flashing to the wrong place can potentially be a nightmare.
*********ONLY FLASH MESMERIZE FILES TO YOUR MESMERIZE*****
*********ONLY FLASH MESMERIZE FILES TO YOUR MESMERIZE*****
First download both files if you don't already have Odin. Unzip the Mesmerize DI14 zip file or EC10 zip file. You will notice that there is a .pit file and a .tar.md5 file. You will flash both at the same time if you want to go COMPLETELY back to stock. This process will wipe all data from your phone except your phone number and anything on your sdcard.
1. Pull your phone battery
2. Start Odin
3. Click PIT and select the .pit file from the download
4. Check the PDA box, Click PDA and select the .tar.md5 file from the download
5. Plug your phone into the USB port and hold volume down
-your phone should go into download mode
6.Verify that Odin sees your phone.
-if not, try another USB port
7. Click Start
It will look similar to this.

This is a stock kernel that is in a flashable zip. If you are just wanting or needing to go back to a stock kernel for some reason and do not want to flash everything back to stock, this is what you want. If you are using a voodoo kernel, make sure you disable lagfix before flashing the stock kernel.
Mesmerize EE19 kernel only: Stock EE19 kernel only
Mesmerize EC10 kernel only: Stock EC10 kernel only
Mesmerize DI14 kernel only: Stock DI14 kernel only

Will this unroot or take voodoo off your mesmerize? kind of want a fresh start.

Just add a file to the voodoo folder on your sdcard called disable_lagfix and reboot. It should talk through the disable just like the enable.

Just run a virtualbox. Six months ago I thought it was great that I got away from Windows at home when I got a MacBook Pro. I thought it was perfect. Then, like you found that I still needed Windows, plus Linux... lol Sometimes you can't win for losing. So now I have a work laptop that has Windows with a Linux virtuabox and a MBP at home running a Windows and Linux virtualbox. The sad thing is, the only work I do on the MBP now, is graphics.

Worked perfectly! thanks for the files and step by steps.

Remember im noob so be nice! Couple questions, I assume your phone number and MEID stay the same? Where are these stored? Does this replace the current kernel?

Very good question, and I try to be nice even when I think an answer is obvious. This one isn't so obvious and I wondered the same thing when I first flashed it.
Yes your phone number and MEID stay the same and they stay in on the phone. Where they are stored is a question that I haven't really looked in to. I think they may be stored in the radio portion of the phone, but again, I don't know for sure. What you are flashing is the PDA portion and the kernel, so yes it does replace the current kernel. Also, in case you have flashed a voodoo kernel, make sure you disable lagfix before you use Odin. If not, you may end up with a mess trying to fix the problems it will create.

any chance we can get the files to go back stock to cellular south on here?
don't really plan on it unless we have to in order to upgrade WHENEVER that will be.. but you never know

Make friends with the in store technicians if you have them. That's the only thing I can recommend for now.

Linux has a odin like program called hemdall it is a very powerful program and is not for the timid as you can really mess up you phone if you dont know what to do...it can be nonforgiving...hemdall is a good program and will do everything you need to do to flash...Installing Heimdall (Open Source Odin)....................Odin is a leaked Samsung program never meant for public consumption and runs only in Windows. It won't run in Linux under Wine, but will run through VirtualBox with some modifications to see the USB.... Odin on GNU/Linux If your not familiar with VirtualBox, it does not emulate Windows. It runs an actual copy of Windows inside Linux. You have to have a licensed copy of Windows available for this.
There is an open source alternative that works on Linux and Mac's as well. It's called Heimdall, and has been in testing at XDA for several months now. Read about it more and download the latest version herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265: Heimdall – Glass Echidna. I used this to flash the DJ05 modem, so can confirm it works on the Fascinate.
https://launchpad.net/~modycz/+archive/modycz-heimdall
Instructions to get this for Ubuntu are here: https://launchpad.net/~modycz/+archive/modycz-heimdall
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:modycz/modycz-heimdall
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install heimdall
heimdall help
[Note: The version at launchpad is out-of-date and the newer version is much easier to use. Until this is updated, check Heimdall – Glass Echidna for latest version to install.]
THIS IS A POWERFUL PROGRAM, PROCEED WITH CAUTION ....I hope this has been helpful....

I see you linked Odin 1.3.... does it matter if I'm using a newer version? I have 1.6 thanks.

Ok, thank you. That is good news. I wasn't sure if i could do something like this through virtualbox because i didn't know if the usb support was good enough. I didn't want to brick my phone. So If i set up my virtualbox guest to see my phone.....I should be able to just follow these instructions? Is there any additional configuration i need?

[FAQ] Flashing UPDATE.ZIP the old fashioned way (How and Did It Work?)

I put together a diagram image showing how the file structure for how to take the various update.zip files to flash your rom or add functionality not obtainable via apk files or market. It was suggested we have a faq using this image to describe this process. I have only done this 3 times so I hope this is correct!
The basic thing it needs to explain is:
1. how to load up the filesystem with the update zip file and command file
Here is a diagram that shows either of the 2 methods to make this work, you can download zip files from Viewsonic's TNT page and just rename them to update.zip (then you have to create the recovery folder and command file), or you can download files here, some are rar'd which means the actual zip has been zipped/rar'd again, just extract it out, and if there are no recovery/command, you have to create them. A trick I use is to have this structure already defined on my laptop as a staging area, then I can just copy over a zip and a folder over to my device or sdcard.
I personally don't know how all this works, I believe the device first looks to the microSD card first for the recovery command file, then over to the internal storage for the same, but I could be wrong.
NOTE 1: Just make sure that if you use the external sd card, you have the correct command file notation (SDCARD2 not SDCARD).
NOTE 2: There are TWO dashes at the start of the command file contents, the image doesn't show it well (--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip) or (--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip)
NOTE 3: This command file has NO file suffix, it is a text file, but make sure it is named command
NOTE 4: After a recovery is invoked, the process will have removed your command file (whether it was successful or not), and you will have to replace it when you are ready to flash again. A trick you might like is to copy the command file to command.bak, and each time you want to flash, just copy the bak file to command so you don't have to upload it each time. It is safest just to recopy the update.zip and command files back into their respective places each time you plan on reattempting recovery, just to make sure both files have the appropriate content.

}
2. how to boot into recovery
Power down the unit. Once it has gone blank, press and hold the Vol +, then press and hold the power button
3. how do you know recovery is booting up (Text at the top of the screen)
You should see tiny text in the upper left that says "Detect a Recovery Key Pressed", and then a 2nd line that reads "Recovery Image Detected", or something to that effect.
4. how do you know recovery did not see either the update.zip or command file or both (exclamation mark, plus no changes after reboot)
I have not personally hit this yet, but if you don't see a cardboard box logo in the middle of your screen with a progress bar at this point, chances are you have something incorrect. If you don't see any changes or see an exclamation point, then you don't have the filesystem exactly as described in the diagram in #1. Or your update.zip file isn't really the proper file, maybe you took a RAR file and just renamed it, etc. If you open the zip file, you should not see any zip files, but IMG files or BIN files or SYSTEM folders, etc.
Now, if you identify the issue and resolve it and are about to run another recovery cycle, take a look at #1 NOTE #4 above...
Hope this helps!

Thanks so much, this will be a time saver for us devs. A great reference for getting clockwork installed, or for people who don't want to use clockwork.

Stuck because it's worth it

Yeah, thanks.. Might keep me from answering the same question 52 bazillion times.....

you should add a note that the command file will be deleted after it has been run, regardless if the update occurred or not - always double check that the (correct) command file is there or you will get the exclamation point

Good point, I will add it. What folks could do (I have done this) is to make a file called command.bak, and you can just copy that to command every time you want to flash.

I understand and also know that some people like driving without tires too. Doing an update via OTA is way overrated. All I am saying is the benefits that can be gained by installing clockwork outweigh the negatives of not.
As soon as the OTA update comes out someone here will have the download location in seconds. That download can be installed from clockwork just like any other update file. Why Viewsonic doesn't just supply the file on there site is beyond me.
So... not running clockwork so you can wait for an update that comes every other month, or maybe never again versus having the security of easy to perform backups, the ability to easily install updates, fix the inevitable boot loop, mount storage, etc just doesn't make sense to me...

having a choice is better than not having a choice

I keep a complete library of files on a separate storage, and I only copy over what I want on the tablet. Just because you may like cwm,doesn't mean everybody does or will. This works just fine for me, and I am sticking with the stock OS until viewsonic stops supporting it, which means I wait for the ota updates.

And like the post above says.. Choice is good. If what you are doing works for you that's great.
It is not so much whether I like, or dislike clockwork. It is just a tool. For someone that buys a tablet, has no intention of doing anything but using it as it came, no clockwork is fine. But for those that want to keep the stock firmware but play around and add all the little updates, fixes, apps, or even play with all the other roms then I think you do yourself a disservice by not using clockwork. One of those things you do to your tablet will eventually end up in a bootloop. Or something you installed will not work and you will want to revert back to what you had before. You can't fix that with the stock recovery, but you can do it with clockwork.
Not trying to start an argument. I just see many advantages to using it versus not.
I think a lot of people don't want to use it because they are afraid of breaking there tablet. Installing a lot of different things available here, and other places is much more scary... And without a viable backup, or recovery method can be a real pain to fix.
Wanting to keep your tablet stock is fine. But if you bought a car that came stock with no brakes, I guess you could drive it. But if there was a really simple method to add brakes to augment your feet wouldn't you want them? Maybe not.. But I do...
I am glad you took the time to write this guide. Even though it is listed all over these forums how to do what you wrote it seems people don't read much anymore. So hopefully it will help some folks...

I've only used the latest version, but have noticed a behavior not covered here:
rather than deleting the /recovery/command file, it deletes the contents of the file. This seems to happen whether or not the update actually happens.

I can't remember on whether or not it happens when it doesn't actually run the update. However, it has always deleted the command file for me.

[Solved] Many questions about rooting my EEE Transformer

First post, and already I'm confused and lost. Off to a good start, yes?
Firstly, greetings all. Nice to meet you.
Secondly, I today managed to acquire a very special and so far beloved Asus EEE Transformer TF101, so, tell me, what can make this Transformer even better?
Why, gaining root access, of course!
I've had a HTC sensation for about seven-ish months now, installed many things on it, and avoided bricking it (somehow), so I'm not entirely new to this process. However, the entire process of rooting the Transformer is getting a bit confusing.
After using Google (yay!) to my advantage, I eventually came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366743
"EASY!" I thought.
...until I discovered my current build number is "8.6.5.21".
So, using the above thread, I got redirected to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417006
At this point, things started going downhill.
I read through the steps of the latter thread, which were:
" Get Razorclaw and install it, no root needed."
Done.
"- Get the recovery installer and do the same."
"The Recovery"? My first question comes here, what recovery do I want? Do I go for the straightforward CWM?
My second question is, how am I meant to install a recovery without first rooting my device?
"- Check your version info. You'll see a pair of letter which are like the "WW"[...]"
My version says "WW_epad-etc" so I assume that's sorted.
"- Follow the instructions regarding downloading the .13 update (WW version and/or whatever letter pair your tablet uses, in case the WW doesn't work)."
To this, I assume "pjfriend" refers to the first thread. So I go to it, and open this link. This link works fine, however...
image
How am I meant to downgrade(upgrade?) to Version 8.6.5.13 when it's only designed for a JP "SKU", and I have a WW "SKU"?
"Unzip, slap on external SD, power off, power on with down volume, volume up to go to recovery, bang. Done."
Again, if I have no recovery installed due to being unable to root due to being unable to update my build number, how am I supposed to boot into recovery?
"- Do the same thing with the megaupload file (.19)."
No root :<
"The second option did fix the problem I had, which was trying to update to a WW.19 firmware from a US.13 - DO THE DOUBLE FILE/RENAME TRICK. It works perfectly."
I'm unsure as to what the "second option" he refers to is, and what the "double file/rename trick" is. Any ideas?
"- Run razorclaw, run recovery installer, and gloat."
Wait... so... NOW I run the recovery installer? :/
Darn my build version, it could be as easy as installing an APK and finishing!
My final aim is to install AOKP, and use that, which of course I need root for.
So, for my last trick, do I need to install any firmware for AOKP?
For my really last trick, anything else I should know?
Thanks in advance, apologies for the wall of text.
All best,
Valky.

Thanks very much, however, from what I understand Vipermod is built for the Transformer Prime. Does it work on the non-prime variant?

It will work for rooting only and not installing cwm. Use Recovery Installer for that. Worked fantastic for me on 9.2.1.17.

ViperMod, use option 3 since you're still on HC firmware.

Thanks a lot, all of the above, looks a lot less difficult than I was making it.
Last question:
"Plug in your Transformer"
Check.
"and make sure to install the drivers located in the included .zip"
How would I do this? After plugging in the Tablet, Windows automatically installed the driver software successfully. Is that it already done, or do I need to do anything in particular before running Vipermod?

If your PC recognized you TF, you're good to go.
In case the ViperMod process doesn't work for some reason, update the driver to
the one in the folder.

Hopefully, I shall be able to help someone else in return. Thank you all once again!

Great. I highly recommend using Recovery Installer to install Rogue XM CWM Recovery. Its the only version that supports the external micro SD card. There are far to many posts about problems with others especially ROM Manager.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

I'm afraid that "one last thing" isn't coming around as quickly.
After sucessfully rooting my device (thanks all!), I've installed titanium backup, backed up the few apps I installed, enabled root access on ES File Explorer, given super user permissions, all that...
Unfortunately, it seems the recovery installer insists I'm not rooted. It just flashes for a second, and then I get a message saying "Sorry, you are not rooted!"
Have I done something wrong?
Also, I have no external SD card in the device currently, but I have the 8 gig one from the old Sensation. Is that required?
Tried various things, but it seems that Recovery Installer just doesn't want to listen. Is there any other way to install a recovery, either manually or automatically, and other than ROM manager? I used 4ext/TWR on my Sensation, so I'm unused to using other things.

And now I'm being asked to update my firmware, I have two more postpone chances. Should I accept?

[TOOL] Nexus 7 (2013) All-In-One Toolkit v1.0 [7-30-2013] [PERM ROOT][Noob-Proof]

Post 1 - Information
Post 2 - Downloads and Release / Change Information
Post 3 - Bugs, Future Additions to the GUI, FAQ
I would like to add for those that like my toolkit, PLEASE DO NOT POST IT ELSEWHERE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!
I have seen multiple sites who copy and paste my work to their site! If I do not approve of it, then do not do it! it will discourage me from adding updates since it is being used for their own benefits!
tl;dr.
If you post my work without permission, don't expect updates!​
I created an easy to use GUI program for the HTC Amaze and I decided to make one for the Nexus 7 2013 Model. I spent a good over 10+ hours to learn how to script, watch videos on how to do it, working on it during school when I should have been listening lol and all that fun stuff. I am going to fix it and up and add more updates to it. You CAN place requests and I will try to fulfill it!

FAQs
Q - Why Did you make this?
A - To make life easier
Q - You are limited on features. Why?
A- You can always make a request!
Q - Will this work on other devices?
A - Only the fastboot commands, HTC Dev unlock (device specific) and the HTC drivers. Toolkit is made for the specific device.
Q - Will you support more devices in the future?
A - If people REALLY want, I can make it happen. I just don't want to make anything that nobody would use.
Q - Awesome! Can I make a donation?
A - Of course! Do not feel obligated though. If you would like to make a donation, you can click the button on my toolkit or under my username.

This is my first time supporting a non-HTC device. This should work perfectly fine, but let me know. I never owned a Nexus and I will do my best to make this compatible!

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

I'll give this a shot since the other Guide isn't working for me.
Edit: Yeah I cannot, no matter what I try, get my Nexus 7 drivers installed correctly. Odd.

Go to control panel -> Device Manager. Find your Nexus 7. Right click it and press uninstall drivers and delete the drivers with it (it will give you the option to delete them). Then, on top of device manager, press scan for hardware changes and it will find it and install the correct drivers.

Nah, done that. I've uninstalled, restarted, installed the universal abd. It still doesn't see my Nexus 7 when I go to use your toolkit. At this point it installs fine, I have ABD interface in my device list, but it cannot be seen by the scripts.
No idea why. I'm gonna delete all the abd/toolkit stuff and start over.
What's really great about it is even when Windows fails to install any drivers and I point it to the correct ones it still fails and says it cant find the drivers, lol.
Something isn't right, especially since I've done this with about a dozen nexus devices on this computer.

Trying to help you out. I never had a Nexus so at least I can learn it as well. Uninstall the drivers. Download the Google Drivers from here.
https://dl-ssl.google.com//android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
Point the device from Device Manager to that. Hopefully it works. If it doesn't, just manually boot into bootloader and run the unlock bootloader command.

You probably have done this also. Try rebooting PC after removing drivers and then reinstall drivers.

Yep, already tried using those.
Hmm, idk. Maybe I'll just say fug it and install windows 8, lol.
\/\/\/\No dice on that even, DroidIt!.

Took me awhile to figure it out but what worked for me was plug in nexus in booted up state, open device manager, hit update drivers (not uninstall), hit browse for drivers, navigate to where you have your adb/fastboot folder at and point it to there. Sorry at work and can't remember the folder it's in off the top of my head, but in adb/fastboot folder the one you want to pick is i386. That worked for me.

While I find this tool to be overkill since the N7 is fairly easy to root, I can say from past experience that it was invaluable in getting my Droid DNA rooted; especially if you aren't too familiar with command prompt adb commands.

Alright! Got it all working. No idea what made it work. I basically kept installing/uninstalling with restarts in between, switched USB ports a few times, uninstalled some other stuff, restarted, and somehow it worked. Idk, I'll chalk it up to windows 7 driver management being absolute ****.
I wound up having to use the other tool to install TWRP. Apparently your ADB server is out of date? I replaced your /data/adb.exe with a newer one, worked fine after that.
Got my bootloader unlocked, recovery flashed, and it's rooted.
Thanks!

I did all the steps to root but I can't get pass the boot screen, can someone help?

It's always nice to have options and remember, this is all-in-one for a reason. Extra commands, features, everything.

If you didn't flash a custom ROM yet, go back into recovery and do a factory reset. Should boot up then.

Getting my N7 tomorrow. Will this work on Win8 64? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Lost functions after deleting bloatware from rooted Sensation 4G

Hi all, I have a rooted HTC Sensation 4G, which still has T-Mo provided ICS 4.0.3 and I assume Sense 3.6. I never put any other ROMs in, not sure how, just wanted root for stuff like tethering, call recording, etc. The phone has been getting more and more slow as time goes on, and has gotten to the point lately I have nothing left to lose. When making a call, the Contacts lists stays up a good 60 seconds or so before the screen comes up where t is actually dialing for you, or if I manually put a phone number in, it just hangs there just as long before the phone takes over to actually make the call. And do just about anything else, when getting out of what your were doing, I get the white HTC screen, then loading the screen with the time and temp which takes a good 30 seconds. Using the browser often just cuts me off and reverts to the home screen.
I thought finally getting rid of the bloatware may help, got rid of NOVA, Lookout, a lot of wallpapers and widgets I don't use, something called CS and a couple others I looked up online which says is OK to delete, as well as Facebook, Youtube, TV apps, etc.
After I was done, first thing I noticed, no time and temp. display. I used an app called NoBloat and checked "backup and delete" on all I wanted to get rid of. I started trying to install from NoBloat's back-up folder, and even though says installing, I could tell they weren't when I looked for the installations. I found the NoBloat folder on my SD card, and tried the .apk's from there, and the majority would say "Can't install" or something similar. I then wanted to take a screenshot of something, and that function is gone.
I would like to do a reset to start from scratch without losing root. I found out the Senastion is a tough one to root and I paid someone to do it and it took 2 days before I could pick it up. Is there a way to reset without losing root since I still have stock 4.0.3 in it? Thanks much.

do you have a custom recovery installed?

Hi, if you mean a custom ROM, no. But if any of these will help, I have BusyBox Free, NoBloat, ROM Manager, ROM Toolbox Lite, Root Browser Lite, Root Checker, Super SU, SuperUser, SuperUser Whitelist, Terminal Emulator, and Titanium Backup installed. I never backed anything up with Titanium BU. Was one of those things I was going to lean to use, but didn't yet. I assume I need to install a custom ROM to get total functionality back without losing root, would be nice to get Kit Kat on this (or is this phone too old to do much with?)
I did manage to install "Sense flip clock & weather" from Google Play which broght back time and temp., and also Screenshot Ultimate which seems to work, but not as easy to use as the native app. A bunch of other screenshot apps seemed not to work at all, so now I can basically get by the way it is now, but still need to get the 60 second dialing lag fixed which is still there, so I'm assuming a fresh ROM install. Thankfully my Wifi Tether app still works. Thanks.

not a custom rom
a custom recovery such as 4ext ,cwm ,TWRP
if you want to use a custom rom you must have a custom recovery installed
by the way all custom roms come pre-rooted
so don't worry about root(it is the easiest part)
can you post your bootloader details?

Hi rzr86, here is the screen I got, I didn't know if/how to proceed any further. I also noticed I have ClockWorkMod installed if that helps, I had the phone rooted around August of 2013 if that helps, so I think all the apps to do with rooting have not been updated, Thanks again.

i suggest to change your recovery to 4ext(since you are on S-ON 4ext has smartflash feature which flashes the boot.img for you while flashing a new rom)
take here the latest version of 4ext recovery
http://www.4shared.com/zip/WnSyLWMaba/4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1006_RC3_.html
extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command
the command is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
if you stay with cwm recovery you will have to flash the boot.img manually while flashing a new rom

Hi rzr86, thanks agin, I will do this later tonight when expecting no phone calls. So I would delete the clockwork app, and put the recovery.img from the zip file into my SD card, and tap that, or do I go into the bootloader menu again and tap FASTBOOT and put in the command? Any suggestions on what a good ROM for me would be? I assume the 4EXT Touch Recovery automatically backs up what I have now, or prompts me to? Thanks again.

no don't put the recovery.img in your sdcard
connect your device in your pc in fastboot usb mode
extract the recovery.img from the zip and place it in your adb/fastboot folder on your pc
on that folder open a command window and type the command
don't worry it will overwrite the cwm recovery
AFAIK 4ext restores backups made by cwm because 4ext is based on cwm
about rom you can try vipers 5.3.0 (jelly bean with sense)

Thanks once more rzr86, I think I have enough info to handle it from here, and I'll look up the vipers 5.3.0. I know a lot of people say Sense is worthless and a memory hog, but I'm used to it now, and I'm sure with the new ROM some of that memory will be freed up from bloatware. I'll try the new recovery app later tonight, and I assume I can wait another day to put in the viper ROM if needed. Guess I should back my SD card up, even though I assume none of this touches the SD card. Does the SIM card need to be in, as I have an old Dash I can put the SIM in for now till I'm done. Thanks much again.

Not getting too far, give up for tonight. Used "Minimal ADB and Flashboot" app, stays on "waiting for device". I tried modifying the name as recovery in the file name twice. I tried command from the folder I unzipped the recovery.img to, as well as trying to copy recovery.img to the Minimal program folder and try from there. I read I don't need the whole huge ADB download for what I'm doing on another site. I used this to get Minimal:

don't use any program
just open a command window in that folder where you have adb/fastboot files
edit: by the way did you select fastboot when you connected the device to pc?(from the bootloader screen)

I used the Fastboot under settings, I'll try the Fastboot by pressing Vol down and Power, wasn't sure which to use, thanks again, and will do without launching a program later in today. I should have known better to try the Fastboot screen if the other didn't work.

Hi rzr86, just tried again, powered up phone using vol down and power, have bootloader screen, selected Fastboot. Also gives other options like Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, and Power Down. If I hit power, says Hboot, then checks something real fast something about SD card and no image?. and the prompt is on Fastboot again, and it does say "Fastboot USB", and I can hear the sound on the PC that the USB is connected. I tried from the original adb-fastboot folder I made and also tried unzipping into a new folder as seen in the pic, still getting "fastboot not recognized, Thanks again.
...".

PS I noticed under Recovery Options says "install from SD card" or something to that effect, would this help? (I just rebooted my phone into normal mode), maybe I should try the other way?

actually the zip isn't a flashable one
so you can't use that option
try this way
download and install 4ext updater app(link in my signature)
open the app and select to install 4ext recovery touch
it will do the job for you

Success! Thank you! I downloaded and installed RC2, hope that's good, as I feel more comfortable with that vs. RC3 still in testing stage. I will take a night of rest since it's Saturday night here and feel like doing something other than phones the rest of the night, LOL. I assume I'm good to go with putting viper530 in, will try on my own tomorrow night, I assume done in a similar way. Funny last couple of days, haven't been getting as long as a delay making calls usually, sometimes go thru right away instead of lagging for often near a full minute, but regardless I think I should go ahead with a new ROM. I assume viper530 compatible with T-Mobile USA. Thanks much again, rzr86!

OK, I think I did the backup right. I just chose the 4EXT app, it booted into recovery screen, I found Backup from Recovery and backup, chose Backup, then went back to Advanced and chose all 4 from there, I think they were system, boot, data, and cache. Rebooted, saved my whole SD card to my PC via the USB "use as disk drive" option. On the backup screen, the word "nandroid" was nowhere to be found (as some other screenshots showed using CWM), just said 4EXT Recovery something, pic attached. I assume I did right. Does 4EXT store the backup in the ClockWorkMod folder on the SD card? Seems that way to me, as now folders showing a bunch of .tar files under the "backup" folder, and the system, boot, cache, and data folders under the "Advanced" folder, and I don't see much in the 4EXT folder. I also backed up what I could using Titanium backup the other day.
Next I went into your signature and clicked the viper 530 link, and all I see on the resulting page is viper 521. Is there a link you have to 530, or should I use 521? I assume I use 4EXT to flash the new ROM, but from the SD card, thanks again, guess almost there.

nandroid is the backup you made
and there is no need to make an advanced(advanced backups specific partitions of your rom)
just go backup/restore-> backup and you are done(it backups everything)
and yes the backup is located to the cwm folder of your sdcard
there are links for 5.3.0 in the rom thread but if you can't find them take it from here
