Hi everyone.I have HTC Sensation 2.3.4 with Android Revolution HD and i want to upgrade on 4.0.What should i do ?Because on the menu i dont have anywhere an update option like when it was stock.
if you want to upgrade to the stock ICS, you have to flash back a stock rom and update it through that. But If you're already rooted and already flashed a custom rom on it, why dont you find a 4.0 ICS rom and flash that?
Actually i have no idea.I hardly rooted alone through the steps from here(xda).Now about ICS,i have no idea.To be honnest i dont know what ICS means,so i dont know what to search.
ICS is 4.0. So did you root the phone or someone else? Do you know if they made a backup of your rom before you installed infected? Do you know if you have recovery installed?
I did it,with the help of this forum.Its about 3 months i did.If i remember well,no,i didnt backup the rom,but i remember something recovery instal.
Well if you have recovery, install your new rom from there. Follow the link below if you need instructions.

Why not just flash a updated stock rooted rom?
Did you make a nandroid backup of your stock rom?
no i didn't back up my stock ROM plz help guys
Hi,
what ROM you are using at the moment ICS-Stock, GB-Stock or a Custom ROM.
fond the slution thanks guys
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
if you have a nandroid backup, how do you set it back?
i'm a noob and read a lot of wiping everything so the backup is gone also,not?
I got a problem with my phone, i downloaded rommanager in case i wanted to use another rom, but i never did so i'm still just on stock android. Now there is an update from android but when i say he has to restart en install i keep getting the clockworkmod interface. What do i do?? I could delete clockworkmod, but i dont know how...Other option is to update it with clockworkmod, but i dunno where the file is stored, and if i would use that file, whether it would work or not.
Phone= LG Optimus 2x aka P-990
Can you pls specify the details of ur phone???
1)Is ur LG Optimus 2x Rooted(I guess ur phone is rooted cause ur using rom manger which requires Root!)
2)Which version of android is it running on
3)What do you wanna install???????Stock Rom or Custom Rom
4)Have you flashed CWM yet?????????
5)if you r using rom manager that would mean that u wanna install custom Rom but then y r u bring Stock rom(Now there is an update from android and all updates from android will be Stock roms) in the picture.
One thing that i don't understand is Why do you want to install the update using Clockworkmod Recovery???????You could simply use the Stock Recovery!!!!
And even i dont no how to remove CWM once you have flashed it but i guess if you go to the root of ur SD Card and delete the ClockworkMod folder then ull get ur stock Rom back(Mabye. ive never tried it) or you could do a factory data reset of ur phone by going to Menu>Settings>Privacy>Factory data Reset(Never tried this too!!).
Im not stocking you. Its just that i get a bit irritated if proper details are not provided!!!
Cheers and pls press thanks for a 14yr old!!
thought would be clear but ok, got 2.3.4 running, yes my phone is rooted. I have stock rom, but i want to update it. And yes i've flashed clockworkmod. The reason i installed Rommanager is because i wanted to use a custom rom, but i wanted to wait and see whether 4.0 would bring improvement. I dont want to install the update using CWM, but i just have it installed and i cant install it the original way. When he updates and restarts, he just restart opening CWM and i have to select a file, but i dunno if i can boot from the update and where it is stored
By 4.0 you mean android ice cream sandwich? If you do, you may as well flash one of the newer custom roms using cwm.they have all the improvements of stock ice cream sandwhich and man many more .
If you do manage to update to stock ice cream sand which you will only want to flash a custom from afterwards anyway, save yourself the hassle of trying to put a stock rom on your phone!
yes, with 4.0 i mean ICS, but since this isnt brought by LG for the optimus 2x, i wanted to wait, cause i'll lose warenty etc if i flash another ROM on the device. All i want to know is if i can remove clockworkmod or if i can install the android update through, if i cant update this way i'll try a custom rom.
You got it all wrong!!!1
1) let me bring it to ur notice that if u root ur phone you lose ur warranty(Yes u just screwed up ur warranty) and if u want ur warranty back u should unroot it by using an unroot update package.
2)I dont think so that there is a stock ICS rom update for ur phone(Im not sure)
3)Did u try my folder removing method(See my previous post) to remove CWM.
4)Best ICS Custom ROm that i know is link
PLEASE PRESS THANKS BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!11
yes, i know i lose warrenty then, so i got unroot tool if i want. Unroot is easy, but if u **** up flashing a rom ur realy screwed. And as i said before, no, there isnt a 4.0 version yet, i know that. At last i dont think deleting the folder is the best idea, dunno how it works on android but if u delete a folder on, for example windows, the program is still installed but just fails to start, and will cause problems
UM It would be better if u dont abuse cause this post will get deleted due to flaming.
If u have rom manager install you can make a nandroid backup of your current rom so that u can revert back if anything wrong happens with ur custom rom.
Try to flash CWM again using Rom manager and then reboot to recovery through rom manager(Just try!)
Hi all,
I'm sorry about my stupid question but I really don't know nothing about that . I had rooted and flashed my NS and installed the matr1x kernel (very good btw), and now I knew that JB will be available to NS. My question is, need I back to stock kernel to receive the update?
Thanks

You have to understand that installing an OTA (official update) on a rooted device regardless of what kernel can cause problems, as it did with my Nexus S before. I suggest you make a NANDroid backup at all times before you install any ROMs, official or Custom. You can also use Titanium backup and others.
There's still a slight while until the new JB 4.1 comes out. It's suggested that you install a Custom JB 4.1 ROM for your Nexus S as though you don't cause any problems. I think it's OK if you do it with the kernel pre-installed. But people always install the Custom ROM THEN they install the Kernel, I think installing a new ROM always overwrites the kernel, if it comes with it.
EDIT:
In short, wait for the JB Custom ROM and you don't have to revert back to stock kernel, when you do the update it will automatically overwrite. Most Custom ROMs come with Stock/ordinary kernels. So then the user can flash whatever kernel they like in your case, matr1x.
Wish you the best of luck, and I am waiting for the Nexus S JB to come out as soon as possible
Ota binary patches the boot image iirc. So it can get all messed up.

I didn't any backup before flashing a new kernel :crying:, so what can I do now if I want my stock kernel back?? What's a NANDroid (I know that is a tool but how can I do it?) ? Is Titanium bkp easily?

A NANDroid backup is a internal memory backup. You can create one by booting into Recovery (Power off your phone and Hold Power and Down on your volume buttons.) If you rooted your phone and unlocked your bootloader (that's what you had to do to flash a new kernel), you should be able to load ClockworkMod or TeamWin Recovery and do a backup of your phone.

There's one rom but it's a port from the SDK and the amount of major bugs is high so it's not recommended but you could try another custom rom meanwhile, I can't go back to stock after trying custom roms, like AOKP and Cyanogenmod 9. Make sure you backup your apps and some settings (not everything will be compatible between stock and custom so pay close attention to which system setting you'll backup) with Titanium Backup.
To sum it all up for you
There's a Jelly Bean release which is unstable and has no sound, and will not be fixed until the REAL version comes out.
NANDroid backs up the whole internal memory on the phone including the system, it can be done from clockworkmod recovery.
Titanium backup, backs up specific settings and information that you choose, available from the playstore.
You don't need to unroot or go back to a STOCK kernel in order to flash a CUSTOM ROM. DO not however flash a STOCK rom after rooting, as at times that can cause problems.
If you want to go back to a STOCK ROM after rooting a device, there's a way, check this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
and choose your Nexus S model: To acquire model, go to Settings - About - Baseband version. if it says I9023 at the start that's your Nexus S's model
Choose one of the Fastboot Stock ROMs and use the Fastboot method to flash the ROM. That is a good way to go back to STOCK ROM if anything bad happens
By the way you should expect the new OTA official 4.1 update for the Nexus S to be on your model's page.
NOTE: Using Fastboot to flash a ROM is very clean. However this will delete all your data and if you do everything correctly will lock your bootloader and unroot your phone. So use Fastboot only when you really feel the need to.
Cheers
and stay tuned for Jelly Bean :victory:

That means, when I receive the official 4.1 update notification, I should unroot my phone first and just install it after?

OK first off, do not install the update using the system update method from about, as that is a 100% stuff up if you're still rooted or on a Custom ROM.
However to update I think flashing a stock ROM but USING Clockworkmod works fine!
Someone please confirm, as I am not 100% sure
However what I am sure about is that if you run into any troubles installing your STOCK ROM using Fastboot is very very good and clean, however there are 2 things:
1. You will wipe everything COMPLETELY
2. You need the ROM to be in a fastboot format kind of way for you to flash it
There's a guide and everything for fastboot.

Personally I will wait for a custom ROM for 4.1 if it doesn't take too long as that's guaranteed and will obviously be faster and safer to install on a ROOTED device.
Someone still confirm if installing Stock ROM while over Custom ROM while ROOTED through CWM is OK or not!?
Hummm, ok...
I'm already using the Stock ROM, I just flashed a new kernel, and I prefer install the stock kernel and unroot my phone. Just to let it clean.
After I install the JB official update, maybe I flash and root again, depends of Google :laugh:
Do you know where can I download a trust official 4.0.4 kernel from the forums? My phone is a Nexus S I9020AUCKJ1, Version Number: IMM76D
Thanks!!!

not sure what you mean with your last sentence... but:
in my case the ota deleted my root. but I also recommend to do a factory reset after updating to 4.1 sense 4+, just to be sure that you have a clean jb rom (do titanium backups of your apps you wanna keep).
but you have to be on stock recovery if you want to apply the ota.
after your update you can root your phone again.
applying the ota wont have any effect on flashing a higher / newer custom rom.
you only have to be unlocked and on custom recovery. but you alawys have to flash the boot.img of the custom rom after flashing the custom rom zip.

the rom you want to flash doesnt care about your previous rom, because you wiped your previous rom.
so it really doesnt matter which rom you have before if you want to flash a new rom.
its like.. you have installed windows xp, then format your hdd and install windows 7, windows 7 doesnt take a --- about the old os
recovery and rom are two different parts.
you can stock recovery and custom rom, you can have custom recovery and custom rom, you can have stock recovery and stock rom.. blaaa

Hey guys, dont know if this is a silly question. I have an HTC one s (S3 model) and I was thinking about to root my phone and install a custom rom. If i am unhappy with the results and wish to go back to my stock rom can i do that?
Also if yes, is there a way to kind of save my current rom and reinstall it again if needed?
Thanks guys !
Once you are rooted and flash a custom recovery you can backup your current rom using the recovery. With that you could go back to using the stock rom if you did not like the new one you flashed. There are many roms out there though so don't get discouraged if the first one you try isn't what you were hoping for. There are always more out there to try including many based on the stock rom.
