I've been playing around with a Nexus S 4G that I have lying around and never used, and I've ran into a few problems, but you've all been helpful. I rooted all my old EVO 4G's without any problem, but the other day I rooted my NS4G using a one click/simple root and downloaded ClockWorkMod etc. But now for some reason It seems like I've almost lost my root? Is that possible? I still have the little unlocked symbol when booting up.
I've searched this forum and Google and haven't found anything, which could possibly be because I don't know what to look for. I've never had this happen :/
Currently running the stock 2.3.7
Nobody? I just need a little help.
Did you flash a superuser.zip after you installed clockworkmod?

Yes, it did. Thank you!
Now I just need to re figure out how to backup my stock rom on rom manager. I need to do that if I'm going to flash a custom rom onto my NS4G correct? I've never actually gone that far with my phones lol.

Okay lol hold on so just go make sure you
1. Unlocked the bootloader right?
2. Flashed a custom recovery (clockworkmod)?
3. Flashed superuser for root access?
4. Now you have a stock rooted ROM?
If you have/did all that then yeah you could backup your stock rooted ROM, you don't need to back it up but its helpful just incase you mess something you could always restore it to start all over
And you could backup any ROM you install incase you didn't know, just remember when you install different ROMS make sure to do a proper full wipe which includes data/factory reset/wiping DALVIK cache, and formatting system and boot in the "mount" option in CWM. And now I think your good lol

Unlocked Bootloader? If I boot in fastboot it says Unlocked. Is this what you mean?
I have ClockWorkMod, but I haven't done anything with it.
I have superuser from the root
and I was working with a stock ROM the whole time....
I think I'm ok lol
So I'll back up my ROM, and flash a Nightly CM9? And back that up as well? Just perform a factory data reset before doing so, right?

Yeah if it says unlocked your good to go. The super user.zip you first flashed won't be needed once you flash different ROMS, it was only needed for stock because you didn't install a ROM you just unlocked the boot loader and super user just gave you root access that didn't come with stock.
Yeah backup your stock ROM JUST in case you encounter a boot loop so you can just restore and start over, you don't need to back up CM9 that's completely your choice if you want . Its convenient though if you like CM9 but still like to flash other ROMS that way you can just go back if you miss CM9 without doing the whole setup process.
And a full wipe is
Data/factory reset
Then wipe dalvik under "advanced"
Then wipe system and boot under the "mount" option in CWM

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post links to videos or not. But I'm in love with some of the features this guy has on his NS4G
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKdyAm3CgHc
He said it was a nightly etc.
The hidden status bar and bottom menu hidden is amazing. I also like the inverted G-Mail and Facebook. Is this all separate from the Nightly ROM?
All - I recently rooted my phone. I was excited to start experimenting with ROMs and then got completely overwhelmed.
It was hard to figure out the differences among ROMs, and when I tried to learn how to flash them and try different ones I felt that the instructions for flashing ROMs in the individual threads seemed written for people with a lot more experience than I have.
When I started seeing terms I didnt understand, talk of flashing modems, etc. I totally got intimidated and gave up
Can anyone help direct me to the best guide on this site (I have searched around) for a beginner to experiment with ROMs? Easiest to follow instructions? I followed the ROOT instructions on this thread and found them pretty easy to follow step by step.
Also I know we arent supposed to have "best of" conversations, but are there any ROMs that are easier to install than others, where it might be a good starting point to experiment and learn?
I have Titanium backup but I know people talk about things like "nandroid" and while I have found threads that mention these things, I am really struggling to confidently put it all together.
Any advice or guidance? Is this too much of a total n00b question?

Once you have a custom recovery, you are golden.
All you need is an ICS radio for any jelly bean ROM except for the leaks. You need leaked radio for a ROM based on one of the jellybean leaks.
As for flashing instructions you can follow the op as there will always be instructions posted, but personally I wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik, format/data, format/system and format/cache all x3. Yes it's excessive, but I've never had a problem.
Normally you will wipe then flash rom-->gapps-->any other tweaks (ie. Audio, GPS patch, etc)
All ROMs are easy to install. Just follow the instructions in the OP and you should be good to go

Thanks for the responsiveness. I did install a customer recovery (TWRP) as part of my root process.
But here is where I am breaking down...when people say things like "wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik, format/data, format/system and format/cache all x3" and "flash rom-->gapps-->any other tweaks (ie. Audio, GPS patch, etc)" I get totally lost.
So I have TWRP am I supposed to run some type of backup or something with it before flashing? This is sort of the staged piece Im struggling to understand...

And when flashing make sure your wipe your data and cache under wipe! Otherwise the custom ROM you flashed won't work properly!

After I flash do I need to use this backup or is it just in case things go wrong and I want to go back to the pre-flash setting?

yes to the backup question
first read my stickies, the links are in my sig, sigs are at the bottom of the post
read and learn as much as you can as you dont want to brick your phone > your phone is as useful as a brick
Awesome. So I create a backup (from what Ive read sounds like only Systems and Data). Its ok to have it on internal storage and compressed?
Then I use TWRP to wipe data, factory reset and clear cache? Is that correct?
And then I will move on to " dalvik, format/data, format/system and format/cache all x3"...not sure what this means yet but reading up on it. Are these all things I do through TWRP?
Thanks so much for holding my hand through this - I really am trying not to use you guys as too much of a crutch!

This may be a dumb question, but once I flash a new ROM will I need to redo my desktop, shortcuts,icons, etc? Will I need to restore all my apps and settings using TitaniumBackup or do they remain?

Man, you better be careful! I don't know how you end up in a completely different forum.
Download Rom
Place on external sd
Boot into twrp
Make backup
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Factory reset
Wipe system
Flash a radio if needed
Flash Rom
If cm based Rom, flash gapps
Reboot

Backup with Titanium and restore w/ data for necessary apps. I do w/ data for things such as Apex launcher and other apps that have data I want to keep. If you do this then your icons for your launcher that was backed up will come back after the restore. Any widgets will need to be manually placed back on homescreens

Yeah not too smooth. I got caught up googling around for helpful links and reading on XDA that I ended up following a thread on how to flash, rather than realizing it was for a different device.
Thanks for the patience.
Just to double check...on Titanium Backup I want to choose Back Up all Apps + System Data....then post flash, I restore with the System Data...correct?
I searched quite a bit but was left unsatisfied with the answers provided.
1. How to fresh install roms (cleanrom in my case)? Just factory reset in recovery before flashing (TWRP 2.4)? Wipe Cache, dalvik before or after?
2. What's the proper order for wipe cache\dalvik\data? Is it before rom installation, after or both ?
Lets say im using stock rom and want to do a clean install. I just want what comes with clean rom. No leftovers from the old installation. What steps should i take?
Thanks guys

I consider what I want and what is suggested as the proper install for the particular rom (see the op as roms vary).
You don't want anything left so I'd do spring cleaning. In twrp ( update your twrp to 2.4.1.0 ) if I wanted clean as you say I'd wipe cache, dalvik, data, and system (no formatting just wipe). Before you do this make sure you have one known good backup on your internal sdcard and on your external sdcard. You should also have a flashable zip on each. Insure you can see these files on both cards (with twrp) before you wipe. If you practice this method you will always have an out if there is a problem. If you don't then with what has been wiped you are assured a brick at sometime in the future. I do this before to clear my unit; when you are told to do some wipes afterwards this is to clear something in the rom you are flashing.
Sorry but I was required to say that as you never know who might see this in the future and not know to protect themselves.
Make sure you are unlocked. Install TWRP 2.4.1.0 over fast boot from a PC or too manager if you are already rooted.
You can install CROMI straight over stock with a dalvik cache and cache wipe but if you want a clean system just wipe data via the factory reset option inside TWRP (not the boot loader) and then flash the CROMI file. Recommend odex if you are just starting out.

thanks. thats pretty much what i did the second time. after failing to do a clean install i went back and almost used format which i guess is bad for those who dont know what the hell it does.. but the red letters in twrp swayed me away from that option
@sbdags
yep i chose odex
not sure if/how i can mark this thread as resolved
anyway.. thanks

That sucks. There's software out there that can probably help you recover what was on your card.
As for a clean install, you'll probably want to throw a ROM image/zip onto another SD (if you plan on recovering from your current one) and then get into recovery to flash it.
It's a pretty general set of instructions, but as sbdags said though, you may find better advice in the right forum.
Xperia P lt22i
Rooted
Locked bootloader
I'm a noob and yes, I am retarded (You'll know why).
So, I've changed some stuff in my phone:
Status bar, boot and shutdown animation, themes, CWM recovery, xperia Z lockscreen, a custom feature for the camera, and so on.
I didn't do a backup for all those things (I didn't know how, and I still don't), I tought I could wipe data or factory reset my phone and all these thing would be gone and my phone would be totally "factory reseted".
The question is simple, how can I reset COMPLETELY my phone? Is there any method to do it?

it might me a hassle to find your stock rom, so i would reccommend installing a custom rom. There much better.
Check out your phones dev forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1729
Download a rom that you like (read some comments and see if its good), and place it on your sd card
To install a rom you must do a full wipe. To do this boot into recovery and choose: wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache partition, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
Then choose install zip from sd card, and find the rom you downloaded and install it.

Which is this one:

I still got some questions about it since it will be the first time flashing a ROM, because the thread isn't really clear to me so I hope someone can help me out with a little bit more detailed guide than mentioned in the ROM thread.
1. Do I have to wipe all my data?
2. Is a dalvik wipe really needed?
I contacted the developer of the ROM he said I didn't have to but when I asked more things about it he didn't reply.
3. How to flash a boot.img?
I can't find a really good tutorial on that.
4. What's the really right order to perform this flash mentioned in above linked thread?
I hope anyone of you can help me out since most of the threads I've seen around people are *****ing about: you shouldn't do it if you don't know what you are doing blablabla.
Since I really want to learn something about it too.

FULL WIPE is clearly recommended when you want to flash another rom. That means (/boot) /system /data /cache /dalvik. You can try it without a FULL WIPE but that will causes errors in most cases.
You need a working HTC USB cable
You need working adb/fastboot, download it from here
You need latest HTC drivers, download it from here
You need a GOOD custom recovery, download it from here
Additionally you need a flashable rom + boot.img
When you got all these we can proceed with flashing a rom

Hello LS.xD,
Thanks for your reply.
I am not at home at the moment.
I will be in about 4.5 or 5 hours, so I will download everything then.
I got the recovery flashed already, so I can probably skip that.
My HTC drivers are probably outdated.
Since my HTC desktop programm had to update the last time I opened it.
And I downloaded the files of the ROM too.
Sent from my HOX+
By the way LS.xD,
I got 'CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.2'. (That's what it says in the top when I am in recovery mode)
I got three wipe options:
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
These are all the wipes I got to perform AFTER installing the zip right? Because if you do it before you will wipe the zip file, is that right?

Its for a reason i recommended the recovery in my post. Pls install and THEN we can go on
and NO you first perform the wipe and then install a rom.
and pls uninstall HTC sync before using fastboot to flash boot.img as it will cause errors if you have htc sync installed.

Thats totally safe as long as you dont WIPE or FORMAT /sdcard LOL
Probably a dumb question, but if you do a factory reset your music and pictures will be deleted, why doesn't the zip file be deleted? I will test it at home though. Factory reset, put the zip file on it, then factory reset again in recovery and look if the zip file still exists on my phone.

Probably a dumb question, but if you do a factory reset your music and pictures will be deleted, why doesn't the zip file be deleted? I will test it at home though. Factory reset, put the zip file on it, then factory reset again in recovery and look if the zip file still exists on my phone.
