I rooted my phone using Z4 root then tried to install cyanogen mod 6.1. Everything seemed to work fine but it has been over an hour and my phone is still on the cyanogen mod screen. Help please! Sorry I previosly forgot to mention my phone is the HTC Hero CDMA running 2.1 update 1. Never mind I was able to do a recovery. Sorry to bother you, I'm an extreme noob. Jailbreaking the iPhone was extremely easy compared to this. Maybe I'll try again some other time. If you have any advice I'd love to have it. Once again thanks for your time.
No you did not

Okay, so I have the LG Optimus T and I have it soft rooted with z4root. The problem is this: There are no custom ROM's for the LG Optimus T. I can't overclock my CPU (which is a major draw to rooting) with the kernel I have installed. Can someone please help me? I am very new to this, and I'm open to criticism, but I'd appreciate it if you'd answer with helpful criticism. Talk to me as if I'm a beginner, not an idiot. Thanks in advance, guys.
I also rooted my optimus t recently woohooo!
Anyone? Is there a mod for it?:d
Well here is a useful link to JoeMomRom which he striped down.
h t t p://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-t/52395-rom-joemomrom-v1-only-optimus-t-5.h t m l
The rom is called bareoptimus. I was having trouble with link so if its broke let me know and I will try to find another.
Once you root you are going to want to flash custom recovery too, just incase anything at anytime go's wrong. Hope this helps!!!!
here is a link to a custom ROM i love it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920787
I wouldnt of used Z4root, from what I read it wasnt really meant for 2.2, I used Gingerbreak 1.20 and everything is fine...Im currently using devoid froyo final with superblue v5 theme and it's running smoothly, I tried using the darktheme but it didnt work for me, I started years ago with rooting and my very first android phone was the tmobile g1, that's back when there werent programs for rooting you had to learn how to root using TE or ADB, im still in the process of learning everything I can myself and would love to learn how to cook my own roms
Help need with rooting Optimus T

Hi there, im a bit of a noob when it comes to the HTC, ive had an n900 for a while and loved the customizability of it, OC'ed, running android etc. Ive Just now got the HTC Desire HD, after 2 days of owning it i decided to mess with it. Ive successfully rooted it and installed the cyanogen 6 ROM... trouble is i never backed up the original Desire HD rom (noob) lol, cyanogen works perfectly but i havent quite figued out how to install Gapps. Has/does anyone know where i can get the original HTC Desire HD ROM from? Maybe im missing something somewhere but i cant seem to find it.
Sorry for pleading help on my first post, but i will be modding loads later once i get my head round it all... hopefully i'll be some help to someone.
Thanks in advance

I'm sorry if i'm reposting the same thing and i do know that a lot of ppl are getting yelled at for this but I'm really ignorant about this android operating system... i don't know what it is... i don't know what rooting is... or whats the difference between froyo and eclair... Like I've mentioned earlier i don't know anything about this except for the fact that i just bought a new Samsung galaxy S captivate... If anyone can help plz do cause i am lost to no end... Thank you very much...
Rooting gives you administrative control over your phone and allows you to flash custom versions of Android. It basically allows you to have much more control over what you can do on your phone. Froyo, Eclair, etc are the names given to different versions of Android. Eclair is 2.1, Froyo 2.2, and Gingerbread 2.3.
Ohhh... well i think i i root my phone and is currently running eclair but i am trying to run froyo on it... how can i get there.... i'v dont some research on this forum and YouTube lol but the links they give me all came back as dead links... and installing froyo with cognitive is very confusing because the package that i have to install is a lot more than the elair... am i stating this correctly or am i just lost period... LOl thank you for your reply..
stay at version 2.1 eclair and get darkys v9.0.2 the best by far, its a custom rom and is amazingly fast. its easier todo if your on 2.1. so uprgrade to darkys rom. type in darkys rom. and itt has full instructions for noobs
i think the main reason for me to update is because i want to run skype... other then that i love eclair... i don't mind it at all... but for some reason skype only works on 2.2 firmware...
Im new to android too ... I just got my htc legend. The problem is i believe its under "vodafone" branding because everytime i switch my phone on the vodafone logo shows up. So the first i want to do is to remove this ... Can you please help me put here ?
hahha ive just sent my back to the guy i bought it off as mine was unlocked but vodafone branded. i hate it wen they do this. sometimes they even put vodafone stickers on the fone, its so annoying. am not entirerly sure to be fair. maybe reflash the phone . not sure mate
^ Oh man.... i completely new to this ! How can i tell if my phone is in unlocked condition or not ?
And how do i reflash it?
'you're in the right place, give it a couple of weeks and in no time you will be rooting ROMing and modifying like a pro. take it from me who knew nothing about the Android OS and now I'm up there.

I read somewhere in the rules for xda, you should search before posting question
Anyhow, this is a starting point. I don't have the Captivate but I am sure there are many more topics about your phone.

Hi all,
Before starting I wish to declare I am a stupid person with stupid questions.
So here I go. I have rooted, unlocked the boot loader, installed custom ROM, custom kernels, dual bootes ROMs, flashed Ubuntu Touch, flashed Firefox OS (hated it though). Tried all ROMs and everything out there on my Nexus.
Now, is there something I'm missing out to do on it?
I just mean to know what else could we do on a smart phone so it really becomes a next gen device.
I thank profusely all those hard working developers out there who have helped me do all those things and now that they have, they motivate me to do more.
That, and that I constantly need to see something new.
Please help I'm out of ideas.
