Nice list. One thing that sometimes trips people up when installing Open Recovery using Dexter's apk: you must have the SD card mounted on the phone when you install Open Recovery (i.e. USB Charge Only mode). The easy way to make sure this is true is to unplug USB. Otherwise "install recovery" will report "success", but Open Recovery won't actually be installed.
TL;DR: unplug the phone before you press the "install recovery" button in step 3.

hows the rom everyone?

Instead of using the PersonaRedV4 archive, can I follow your guide and use the GalaxyXT one that khalpowers put up? http://www.multiupload.com/VAIZTZJWMM <-- this one here

Hello All,
I'm knew to Android but since I got my XT720 I have been looking for ways to make it better since it doesn't have a lot of internal memory. I would also like to share how I installed it GalaxyXTv4.
I basically followed this Video
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943368
I download it the Galaxy from using this link
http://www.multiupload.com/VAIZTZJWMM
Finally I downloaded the whole root and openrecovery using this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946973
I also replace the content of the openrecovery folder with the extract of the GalxyXT, and the followed the Video.
The only difference is that I did reset everything cache, davlik, and factory defaults. When the phone rebooted, I was doing the initial setup and the phone rebooted itself twice, so I decided to remove the microSD card let the phone boot and then add the SD card back, I formated the card using the phone option and it has been working great (only a few hours since I installed the Galaxy).
The phone is performing better than when I was on 2.1 with apps2sd and definitely better than using 2.2.1 v4 BLUR make

My quick office is gone and when I wanna watch youtube videos the phone will reboot by itself. Help, please.

I followed this guide and it worked, but when I powered off and powered on my phone just now.. it just stays at the white Motorola circle logo and then powers off. It's not bricked... is it?
Edit: Managed to get back into Openrecovery to wipe all 3 cache things. Now it's working okay.

After I format the SD card, I put to the phone, and it is not able to be read anymore. Please help

Re format it or buy a new card

[Q] Overclocking on a Sensation Virtuous Inquisition 3.0.0

Running a Sensation Z710e, Android 4.0.3 Virtuous Inquisition 3.0.0.
I want to overclock and install the custom kernel by SebastianFM to overclock to 1.5ghz but have no idea how to do so. I understand that I have to flash from clockworkmod's recovery menu but don't know what that means. Is anybody able to give a step by step walk through flashing this? PLEASE HELP!
Thanks.

1.) Download the kernel
2.) Copy and paste it onto your SD Card
3.) Boot into recovery (you can do this with the Quick Boot app from the Market)
4.) Select the kernel and flash it
5.) Download No-Frills CPU or SetCpu
6.) Select your speed using the app.
7.) If you get reboots or freezing etc then it means your CPU can't handle the speed
8.) If it can then enjoy.

Im running mine stock and its fast

I attempted to flash the sensation and sensation xe kernel as an update install from zip where I select the long file name from within the root of the SD card. As a result the error message is that the kernel can't be opened and installation gets aborted. Is it possible I picked the wrong kernel or do I have to rename it?

You need to select the zip to install (can't remember the exact works in CWM), not the update.
BEFORE you do anything make sure you do a Nandroid backup of the phone first, just in case **** happens.

Picked wrong install. Got correct one. Installed via zip in recovery of clockwork mod. Works like a charm!

Installing,Rom,apps and kernel.

When installing a Rom with apps and a kernel does it matter how you do it?for instance when I go into recovery and choose file from sd card.can I just go ahead and download the Rom,apps and.kernel then reboot.are do I reboot after installing each one?

You install the Rom first.
By apps, you probably mean Gapps (Google apps).
What you install first of Gapps or Kernel doesnt matter. But Rom comes first offcourse.

No reboots are required in between...

Difficulty Installing Custom ROM

I'm having a lot of difficulty installing a new ROM on to my Sidekick 4G. I root my phone using SuperOneClick. After that, I downloaded Quick Boot, Root Browser, and ROM Manager. I use ROM Manager to get a custom recovery image through CWM. With Root Browser, I copy the Recovery file and paste it to /system/bin and overwrite the recovery file that's already in there. I use Quick Boot to reboot into Recovery. This is what I did when I went into Recovery.
1) Reinstall Packages (Stock Recovery)
2) Install zip from SD Card
3) Choose zip from SD Card
4) I picked whatever zip file had the custom ROM on it
After the installation, everything is fine. Its says its successful or completed. But when I reboot it, the screen is stuck on the screen where it says "T-Mobile Sidekick 4G". I've tried different ROMs and they've came out with the same outcome. And after I do install a ROM and fails, I have to go into Download Mode and unroot the phone again. Its getting a bit tedious and annoying.

You did it wrong
Reinstall packages (stock)
Factory reset/ wipe dalvik an cache
Mounts! Make sure system is unmounted
Then install zip
Reboot system

Yes! It worked! Thanks for the help!

No problem
To install a different rom you have to install update (red) to (yellow) cwm must use yellow/orange to install new roms an just make sure you wipe everything an mounts
Ps back up your mobile (app)
An recovery an backup (just incase of malfuctions later on)

[ROM][CM7] Defy Pro XT560

This is a mostly functional CM7 build for the Motorola Defy Pro XT560. There is a little lag when recording high quality videos, but, everything else should be functional. Use the instructions below for installing. If you run into any issues you can always use one of the SBF files from this thread to recover. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520124
Use at your own risk. Please back up any important data before installing.
1. Root phone
2. Extract the attached zip and run the Bootmenu installer (BootInstall.bat) with the phone connected..
3. Reboot into stock recovery and clear cache/data (backup anything wanted first).
4. Reboot normally from recovery, this will take you into CWM.
5. In CWM select recovery/custom recovery.
6. Select install zip from sd card then choose zip from sd card and select and install the xt560_cm7.zip
7. Select choose zip and install gapps.
8. Select back and reboot system.
The rom can be downloaded from http://www.sendspace.com/file/gakl1i

The button of the volume (+) is had to me broken. It fixes so soon it, will install this ROM.
exists some way to enter boot recovery without pressing the three buttons at the same time?

Awesome to see this phone get some love. Any reason I should try this rom over a de-bloated, rooted stock rom? Id personally rather get a newer android version unless cm7 offers a lot of benefit over stock.
Thanks for all the hard work!
