[q] need help

okay i did the 4 step root. the easy root, i have the ota update. still on android 2.1, i have completed it, it showed me the new "quietly brilliant" screen and i have new apps now, no super user app though. so i tryed downloading apps that take a root, and it says "your app will be downloaded" it doesnt show it in the notification bar, i have to go back to the app. and then it just says downloading but never finishes, after i did the root i never flashed a custom rom or any of that, i didnt think i had to? any help? if i need to flash a rom can someone give a link to any, maby cm6? idk, but it wont let me download any aps. i also tried going to 4shared and it wouldnt download those either. you can email me if you like.

okay nvm, after i installed the rom "finisher" it fixed all my problems, IE wifi hotspot not working and no icon showing i had total root. all fixed now, one more quick question, i want to install the new 2.2 froyo leaked, not the ota one, will i lose my "free" wifi"" and also how do i need to go about doing that? steps? system reset, flash new RA_recovery. clear all cache and then flash the rom?

That's a rooted version of the official 2.2 update, so you will still be able to get wifi tether. Just follow the steps (ASSUMING YOU HAVE AN EVO, you never did specify but it's the only phone that had a 2.2 update recently that runs CM6 AFAIK). This assumes you already have a rooted phone with NAND unlocked already.

lol read my user name over there <---<---... lol yeah like i said i have the rom finisher, its on youtube, pretty BA... and i obvously have nand unlocked sense i have a different rom on my phone, right? lol

hey i dont have the new base band, and i know i need to download the wimax and the new radio after i put the rom on my phone, but which zip file do i use for my rom the V3? thats under the MIRROR folder? or the zipped one that is before the wimax and radio zips? (its the first zipped file under his instructions)

Whcih Custom Rom To Choose ?

Hello , I am running ( Baseband vers I997UCKE3 Kernal 2.6.32.9 ) . I believe It's the infused ROM . now i don't know if there were any updates from the ROM or not and if so i am asking how to upgrade it ? Also asking which ROM you feel is the best one and most stable to choice from . I have been having a issue when i get a phone call after the light dims I can't get it to come back so i can end the call or do anything . so i would like to upgrade or put a new ROM on my infuse if there is any out . Or if you have a Suggested fix for this dim problem any help is appreciated ! thanks in advanced !

Check out the Rom Manager (available in the market place) for a list of a bunch of rom. It also makes it really easy to try them out. Make sure you do a backup of your current rom (supported through the Rom Manager) so you can always go back if you don't like it.

thanks for the reply
I wasn't aware that it was that easy . I have rom manager installed . Is it really as easy as just clicking download and install ? is that safe ? I do install custom roms but i usually read instructions on all roms i install . I will look into that thanks

With the disclaimer that I have not used it on a table, I have used the Rom Manager on both my Moto Droid and HTC DINC. The one thing that I wish that I had done was moved my original NAND backups off of my phone for a backup. I had to jump through some hoops when I wanted to go back to stock.
If you do a NAND backup you should always be able to go back if something goes wrong. I would do some reading on each ROM just to make sure people haven't had any major issues with it, but I've never had any problem with switching ROMS. I'll usually change one a month just to try something new, and then usually go back to CM.

[Q] uninstall cm7

hello guys i just installed cm7on xperia x10i but does not work so good,can u tell me ho can i get back gingerbread 2.3.3?

You dont just uninstall cm7, that way youll be left with nothing.
You need to find and install another rom, if its 2.3.3 you want then search for that. im pretty certain that cm7 is based off of 2.3 so i dont see why it wouldnt work well.
Id say just search for what roms are good for your phone, choose one, and use that

if you did a nandroid backup before installing cm7, you can boot into clockwork mod and go to backup/restore then restore from the backup you created of your previous rom. If you didn't backup, you'll have to install a new rom over your current one.

No I did not back up, but I searched for 2.3.3 firmware but did not find if u know anyother solution so please help,or another firmware or rom, now I have cyanogen7 zmod n it does not work very good

Rooting STAR N9589

It's coming from China so I imagine there will be a few annoying icons but nothing major.
I want to root the phone.
Then install a CFWM & Backup Original Stock Rom
I don't plan on using anything other than the orginal stock rom however one day if I fancy a play and mess it up I can roll back.
The main thing I carer about is the root feature.
Anyone suggest any tutorials I cant find any specific for this phone just copys of roms from need rom, I need to know how to root and instal CFWM first!
Also can I chose what rom to boot when powering on, almost like running it dualm boot, one for work and one for play?
Thanks

[Q] Custom ROM always bricking

Hi there, I have been trying for countless hours to make a custom ROM work on my P920 with no results, always some issues. I've managed to brick my phone in different ways a billion times now, then spent billion hours unbricking it and in the end I'm always back to where I started. I would really love some help please.
My phone is P920.
The android version I'm running is: 2.3.5
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7+
Software version: V21E
Rooting method: megatron
Now I would like a ROM that uses Android 4 and that can still use the 3D features such as 3D camera, the ROM calledthe Darkroom International would be an example I imagine.
While that's one of the ROMs that I would want, I've tried many, and always encountering issues, let me clarify.
First of all my device has to be rooted and since SuperOneClick doesn't work for me as it gets stuck on step 7, I use megatron which works well. I even double check if my phone is rooted with the Root Checker from the Android store. Now according to the guides I've read I need a custom recovery system, so I install Clockworkmod. I then place the ROM on the SD card, in the recovery menu I delete cache, that other cache, format it, format system, data, everything those guides tell me to. Afterwards, I install the ROM by selecting the zip and then I reboot. I've tried like 3 different ROMs, jellybem, cyanogenmod and some other. Yes I know none of them support 3D features - I didn't know at the time. Anyway, the issue was always the same, right after the LG logo there would be a screen with some weird colors showing the display of what happened before the phone crashed. Before it crashed? Yes, the phone would actually boot into the ROM but only for a few minutes, crashing afterwards. The next time I would boot, it would show that weird screen with those fancy colors with what happened just before it crashed. So I followed some steps and I got back to the original 2.3.5 ROM, everything back to normal.
I tried doing some more research and I came across the Darkroom Intentional ROM which had a bit different instructions. It asked me to install TWRP recovery with a bootloader, so I did, successfully, then did all the clean cache etc, installed ROM, bam, wouldn't boot at all. Oh boy have I had issues here, I couldn't even get it back to the default 2.3.5 stock ROM because my phone wasn't even recognized in the device manager. So I did some more research, found a solution, managed to flash back to 2.3.5 stock and I'm back to square one.
Now, could someone please help and explain to me what exactly have I done wrong and how I can make it right? I've spent countless hours now trying to install a custom ROM with no success. Sorry about the long read. If you need me to supply some more information please let me know. Thank you.

First of all if u want to use an ICS ROM then u need to update to ICS FIRST u can't flash it directly from 2.3.5 u can use xbsalls thread to update......
Next if cm based Roms are crashing then u need to flash bootloaders which means u should use os_hacking tool to flash ICS bootladers if u wanna update
Or flash GB bootloaders
So first update if u want
Root
Flash bootloaders
Flash recovery
Flash Roms
