Ok, last week i upgraded to AOSPX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460820) following the guide on the post.
The bugs a little more than I can handle so i'm wanting to go back.
I found this guide for a modified stock rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982963) that says it requires S-off and Radio S-off.
I followed the how tos on S-off and both of them sent me to tools that said "will not work on phones that shipped with android 2.3" which is the case I'm in.
How would I go through the process of going back to a stock-ish rom on a phone that shipped with GB?
Hm maybe find a new stock-ish ROM. When I had CM7 I downgraded to the stock ROM but I got stuck in a boot loop. I wouldn't try installing your ROM and risk bricking but I would recommend a new stockish ROM. What features are you looking for?

I have the rooted stock which comes with the bubby's GUI... a few weeks ago my phone tells me that there is an upgrade for my software and naively I download it and try to install it.. well it didn't work out of course. Now my question is: is there a stock rooted Rom up to date?
Thanks for the answers.

One of the things you lose when flashing a new ROM is the updates, but if you chose a good one that has great DEV support the updates are usually available pretty soon....you have to wait for the updates to be baked into the ROMs so just keep checking here for the updates
Stock rooted Rom with update.

I used att1n's stock rooted with side loading (flashed to rcmix 3d). He has the update installed and bloat ware removed and side loading enabled. Its a good stock rom if thats what your looking for. No bugs or issues that i could find. If your going to flash anyway check the dev section and look at some of the other roms. Plenty of sense roms if your staying stock to keep sense.
Ok so i cracked my HD2 screen last month.... .... anyway it was stock windows mobile and i hacked and slashed it myself to put android into nand. I'm quite familiar with how that works....
I bought a used inspire 4G off ebay and it already came loaded with cleardroid 1.3.1. It's my first android phone ever so i'm not really familiar with all the hacking and slashing stuff. I'm assuming a couple of things must have already been done to it since its running a custom rom but i'm not sure whats in it.
I looked at the Advanced Ace Hack Kit thread and it says not to run it if i have S-off or have a custom rom........ so... where do i stand, how do i check whats been done to it.
You have a custom recovery and are all set to install your own ROMs. If Clockworkmod is not installed download the app from Market. Flash the latest recovery and have fun installing ROMs. S-off is good to go. The old owner had to do it to install the ROM that is currently on it.
You're good, bro. Previous user made it easier on you. No need for Ace Hack Kit or anything. Go download ROM Manager and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. If you like ClearDroid, keep it. If not, go download "Absolution" or "CM7.1" for stock and put it on your SD card, go into Clockwork, select Install Zip from SDcard, find the .zip for Absolution or CM, let it do it's work, and ta-da, you've got AOSP Android.

Or you could just go with MIUI.

There's also a stock, rooted gingerbread rom (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192372) and if you're looking for a good sense rom that works well and isn't really modded, check out android revolution.
cheers and welcome to the community

Before you do Any flashing, I would do yourself a favor and read read and search the forums for any helpful tips. Check out 4ext recovery themes by cwhitney24 over in the absolution thread way better than rom manger. Always make a backup and remember to wipe front to back. Wipe data cache and dalvic cache when switching roms
Thanks for the tips i went ahead and flashed mike1986. ROM....
I was accustomed to using Sense 3.5 on my HD2 but 3.0 isn't too far off and the ROM is great.
A couple of things I noticed:
in hardware it says bluetooth 3.0 but i know the phone doesn't have that, I'm assuming it hasn't actually been upgraded to 3.0.
I only have about 1GB of ROM space after flash, searched around and appears this is normal...couldn't really get a solid answer as to where the other 3GB vanished to.
Hopefully this time around the gorilla glass + otterbox will take a better beating than my poor HD2....

You only have 3gb of space on your phone really. Its due to how the phone is formatted. There are tons of threads about this. And sense Roma ate big so no surprise that it takes up so much space. Enjoy

Uhh.. seems like I'm having problems flashing a new radio.
I flashed mike's new Android Revolution HD 6.2.0 ROM just fine but he recommends 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M radio.
I downloaded the zip on his thread and followed the directions but it failed ! I currently have 12.56.60.25P_26.10.04.03_M radio.

Did you try to flash it in recovery?
You can't flash a radio from recovery.
I wish ROM cookers would stop with this "recommended radio" crap. The radio you have is fine (with the exception of 12.39.60.19 shipped on a few early Inspires--it had bad battery drain).

You should read the inspire radio thread pretty well before working with flashing radios.

And I would highly suggest not trying to get radio s-off for flashing radios in recovery, and instead just use the PD98IMG.zip method in the bootloader.
OK I have a Sensation onto which I have installed various ROM's including some of the more recent ICS versions. So far the ICS versions have been far from perfect so I'd be very interested in the new official HTC ICS when it gets released by HTC.
Does the fact that I've already installed various after market ROMs limit my ability to access this new official release when it comes? Do I need to do anything to allow me to receive such an official upgrade from HTC? Do I need to go and dig up the backups I'm sure I made prior to removing the official stock ROM?
Any help gratefully received

To recieve official upgrades you will have to return your device to stock however, when the official upgrade get's pushed, within hours the devs will have produced original and modified stock roms which you will be able to flash just like roms that you have already flashed so i wouldn't worry.
In the dev forum, there is several roms based on the latest 3.32.401.5 ics release which could be the official release candidate or, at worst, is very close to it.
Perhaps you should try flashing one of these.
From my experience you need to go back to completely stock just like it was when you bought it. Which means stock rom s-on your cid back to whatever it was and stock recovery. Hope this helps
To receive official upgrades I believe you must un root your device and have the stock from installed on to it

I may be wrong, but i'm not sure that s-on is necessary.
If you choose to go back to s-on, be very careful, several people (including myself ) have bricked their devices doing this. Follow the instructions to the letter. You have been warned.

Yep. For this you need to run ruu (you will retain s-off), and this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

Alternatively you could install Android Revolution HD custom ROM, which uses the official HTC ICS ROM as the base, just with several tweaks and improvements. There'll be no looking back once you do!

Hey all, I've been rocking an android phone since the day the G1 came out, then got a Vibrant, and now a G2X. I'll have my phone shipped to me on the 5/1 and wanted to get ICS on this baby right away. So far I've gathered that I install the LG drivers, use nvflasher to flash clockworkmod and do a nandroid to external sd, once done that I can flash a rom of my choice correct? I'm interested in AOKP, what are people's suggestions and is there an Updated guide/wiki, because the sticky bible seems outdated.
So any quick tips/tricks would be awesome, totally new to LG, since ive used HTC and Samsung phones in the past.
Thanks,
defcon
Ummmm go to your settings and look at ur baseband. If its March 2012, then you can only load the stock rooted for now
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
right now kwes roms are the only functioning ones until the devs catch up and fix it. However, if you go the lg website, you should be able to flash a previous update and then flash any rom of your choice. recommendations for ICS, EaglesBlood, HellFireSandwich, CM9, and pretty much any other ICS rom. Just be warned CM9 might eat the battery.

New to the infuse forums (so hoping I don't get beat up too much) basically Im trying to Downgrade my brothers infuse from the att ota gb update uclb3 back to froyo or upgrade to a custom gb rom, he is super pissed at me because his phone is super laggy and im the one that updated his phone. Tried to read through stuff but got a lil confused as the title states (I think I got spoiled from the i777 forums) any how if someone can point me to a good guide to follow from rooting to installing a rom or just reverting to stock froyo and a nice stable rom suggestion that would be nice. odin method preferred as i have no experience with heimdall. again appreciate the help and sorry if this is a redundant post (puts on flame retardant suit :angel
Links to everything needed for the infuse from Root to Unbrick(restore to stock froyo, or GB), to Custom ROMs and MODs can be found Here in an orderly fashion.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610374
I myself suggest using Qksters Heimdall One Click to get the phone back to stock Gingerbread UCBL3, Using SuperOneClick to root the phone, then as far as custom ROMs, Might I suggest AEON v1.4?
AEON can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545239
Heimdall One Click can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
Also when going with Heimdall one click theres another package provided by qkster for CWM recovery, its the Kernel one click package which can be found in the same link above.

Thanks got a little overwhelmed sooo many guides lol. So since he is on the borked att gb already (came with froyo out of the box) guess I'll move on to rooting and installing a custom rom. Thinking of sticking with gb based roms. Taking the kiss approach since my brother is not that tech savvy and my goal is to find the most stable rom for him (his answer to bugs is bro fix this now!!!) Lol he did want ics cause he saw mine but idk how stable the ics roms for the infuse is yet so I got reading to do. Guess he'll just have to put up with att crap a day or two longer.

If you can use heimdall, the simplest way is to put the phone into download mode and flash my uclb3 stock package or adam outler's stock package.
The second post in each op contains the insecure kernel. These kernels are also flashed in download mode. Once these custom kernels are flashed, you can boot into CWM and then flash the custom firmware you want.
If you are familiar with Odin, check out some of jscott30's thread. He has several Odin premade rooted firmware package that are also very nice.
Once you have the firmware you want, Zen has cooked up a few kernels that can overclock at 1400 or 1600. These will provide quite a bit of speed over stock kernels.
