After rooting your phone...

What were the first 3 things you did to your phone? Did you install applications that require root and if so what were they? Did you get ClockworkMod Recovery installed and backed up your phone? Just curious to see what everyone did right after rooting your phones.
For me I did the following:
1) Installed ClockworkMod Recovery & backed up my phone
2) Installed Titanium Backup Pro (why does it only show 5 things and not all apps?)
3) Installed ShootMe

For titanium you have to update busybox, you click fix or something I forget but after the update you will see everything

THAT fixed it for me! Thank you very much, now it shows 208 applications in there. Much appreciated for the assistance!
Now, what all did you guys/gals do after rooting your phone?

Yep. Go into Titanium, hit the "Problem?" option on the bottom and you will get a pop-up box saying Auto-upgrade for BusyBox, then hit Yes, do it and it will update and show all your apps afterward
*edit* lmao wow sorry. I had this page open to comment right after you posted this but the phone rang so I had to answer and after I got done typing I now see it's already been addressed lol. Sorry about that. Glad it worked for you.

1. Installed ROM manager.
2. Back everything up
3. Installed root explorer to delete bloatware
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

the only thing i have done is used it to disable the apps that came on it .. not show in the app list and keeps it from running but gets the updates still if they get one .. figured it was better than removing them since there really wasnt a recovery or restore or other rom to flash again if something goes wrong from an uninstalled app or something .. it has enough memory anyhow.
Setting up adb was a pain in the ass due to the given drivers dont install ... there is some code that you have to copy/paste into the inf file(that wasnt in the guide) for the mytouch 4g.
other than that .. havent done anything .. im waiting till the something solid comes out ... not a big fan of rom manager .. havent tried titanium .. i really did like armon ra recovery .. hope he makes one for this thing.

This is what I did.

Hmmm I'm not all to familiar with ADB yet but I have had to use it to turn S back on after getting it OFF with the rooting process and the driver installed that was on the sd card without problem (I'm assuming seeing as I needed the driver in order to complete the process... again I'm new to it all).
Quick question how can I check it again to make sure I have adb set up right?
*edit* just to make sure I have it right, and correct me if I am wrong, I connected my phone to the computer started a command prompt, typed in "adb devices" and it showed "List of devices attached, HT0********* device" - so is it fair to say I have adb installed correctly?
I also went to my device manager and seen *Android USB Devices and then under it MY HTC - so I'm guessing that is the name the HTC driver took when I installed it.
Again, I am sharing this as a peace of mine to myself and maybe someone else that is new to the process like myself (but learning thanks to every one of you all here) that is just wanting to make sure its done right.

hmmm you cant open the command prompt and hit adb devices and there it is from what i know .. you have to cd into it first .. which would be the default of cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools (if you put the SDK folder into the root of your C: on your comp) .. then you can type adb devices and you should see yours there and then adb shell and I usually do a "su" as well ..
if ya really want to test it out type in reboot and the phone will restart ... but if you see the list of devices that should be confirmation enough really

Yep you're absolutely right... I kind of left out a few things (that you mentioned, thank you). And I did the type reboot test and the phone rebooted. I was just doing it for added assurance I was doing it right.

glad it worked for ya ..
another thing to try if you have not done so yet is to try something like this in the terminal or thru adb.
pm disable com.tmobile.apppack <hit enter>
you should get a message saying something like new status disabled .. and not just killed
then go into menu/settings/applications/manage applications/all/ and find the one that says "com.android.providers.applications" hit that and then force close .. this will restart the launcher to show the change and that damn app pack that comes preloaded that you cant uninstall will be gone from the applications.
However .. this DOES NOT uninstall them it just keeps the icon from showing up in your apps and prevents it from running but will still get the automatic updates if there is one for it .. how damn cool is that
if you are in adb hit pm list package and it will show you all of the com.names of all the apps on the phone and you can type whatever you want using the pm disable thing like about to remove it from the app list but without unstalling them.
if you want to enable them then its just pm enable whatever app name here.

Clockwork mod installed then I tried to over clock but I figured out that the current kernal is not supported! Or something like that. Then i came here to see if any roms were available yet! Unfortunately there's none for now! Hopefully we will see CyanogenMod on our MyTouch 4g! By the way its my first post

TIP/Trick 2 android 1 phone

Hello,
i thought it just had to share the following:
YOU CAN GET 2 ANDROID AT 1 PHONE
just do the following:
1. make an backup of you rom your running
2. take the backup and put it on your pc/other sd( i use sd so i can switch everywere)
3. reboot wich the same rom still and backup all stuff you have with the by you prefferd program i use titanium backup.
4. make sure all apps are compatible with the extra rom you want and with the rom your currently running.
5. if all done flash the new rom
6. make sure the old firmware is updated for the new rom if you need to switch between roms make sure you have both firmware
7. boot when all checked and finish into the new rom
8. get the backup program back i install a file manager install the apk of the backup program again
8. restore all backuped programs
9. go to recovery back it up
here it gets harder
10. if the other backup on sd plug it in and if you want restore the old rom or dont do this and keep the new fresh flashed on
or
10. if on pc get it onto your sd if enough space and restore if you want
this hole proces takes 20 min if both backuped and not having to many apps or like me 40 min because i have many apps and therefore need another sd for the backups and firmwares
just restore the rom u wanna run and there you go u have 2 android 1 sd 1 phone and can switch in 10 min by restoring otherone
WATCH OUT FOR FIRMWARE CHANGES IF YOU WANT TO RUN GB ASWELL AS ICS U NEED TO SWITCH THE FIRMWARE TO!
(firmware:

Two androids for 1 device would be better using Boot Manager. This method is just not reasonable... Maybe for those with all the time in the world, sure. But throwing away 20 minutes to an hour a day just to change a rom is absurd if you ask me, especially since you're just changing back and forth on android. Get me on WP7 or something and that'll be interesting! Sorry for attacking you but this is just common sense and like I said, the idea is quite absurd (reminds me of an einstein quote, however this one doesn't apply)
And to go from ICS to GB, playing with the firmware(radios and stuff) all the time... could potentially brick your phone. Have fun!

[Q] How to flash a rom after rooting

OK I apologize ahead of time for what is probably a ridiculously easy question for most.
The ATT 1X is my first android and this is the first phone that I've rooted.
I read for hours and followed the instruction to a T. I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM.
I can get into Recover/Boot mode or whatever you call it on phone startup, I have the Super user icon in my files, but I have no idea what to do now.
I found a ROM that I thought was worth a shot (CleanROM 2.5) but I don't know what to do. I've read and researched for hours now and everyone's problems seem to be complicated but no one talks about this.
I downloaded the ROM to my computer but I don't know what to do with the files, I can't find a .bat file or anything to initialize it and I am stuck.
I've wiped the data and done everything in the steps but I'm stuck at actually installing it. I know I'm obviously doing something wrong but I feel like I'm very close to what needs to be done.
Any help is welcome, thanks

I recommend you check QA thread found in a sub forum under your devices section and you review the stickied post for ROM install or Google "android install custom ROM " (remove quotes). Too much info on this already to type it all back out here. Did you watch you tube newb video you agreed to have watched when getting an xda account?
Essentially you now made it so your phone has the ability via CWM Recovery to now boot to that to install ROM zip or continue to use rooted stock ROM (how you flashed that zip for superuser is baasically same as how you flash a cwm compatible ROM zip (MOST but not all ROMs)) which with SuperUser can now run privelleged code if it is made to or requires it to run.

Thanks. I know this must seem so stupid, but I've been searching this forum, google, youtube and pretty much everything else for how to do this and I get it all and understand what's happening.
I just don't know where to put this ROM (which folder) to get it to install.

So after all that searching you never came across instructions informing you to put the zip on your phones storage?
You should probably just hold off a bit on flashing anything then. Not being mean but it sounds like you are confused by the process and end result. Step back and do some basic checklisting.

Download the rom you want and DO NOT UN ZIP IT. THEN PLACE THAT ZIP ON PHONE STORAGE AND BOOT INTO YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY . HIT INSTALL FROM SD CARD AND MAKE SURE THE ROM YOU DOWNLOADED IS LISTED BUT DONT FLASH YET. GO BACK THE THE MAIN SCREEN OF RECOVERY. NOW MAKE A BACKUP. WHEN THAT IS DONE GO BACK TO MAIN RECOVERY SCREEN AND HIT WIPE PHONE DATA AND THEN CONFIRM. THEN GO AND HIT CLEAR CACHE OPTION. THEN GO BACK AND GO TO ADVANCED AND CLEAR DALVICK CACHE. NOW YOUR READY TO FLASH. GO TO INSTALL ZIP FROM SD AND FLASH YOUR ROM. FIRST BOOT ALWAYS TAKES LONG AFTER FLASHING A NEW ROM :thumbup:

Been posting on the internet for decades, don't worry about being mean. I'm here to learn. I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM so that I could take advantage before the phone asked me to update the software to the 1.85 version.
My phone works fine now, and I did everything correctly which is what I was setting out to do. I'm in no rush to flash a ROM, but now that I'm ready I'm itching to try it out.

This is the process as I understand it and as stupid as it sounds, I'm hung up on where in phone storage to place the zip file of the rom. I don't see a storage folder, an SD folder, nothing that seems obvious and nothing that is in any of the things I've been reading or watching.

Plug phone into computer. When prompted, select Disk Drive. On computer, browse to your computer, open the 'disk drive', and copy the zip there. THAT is your sdcard as seen by your phone.

Yeah, some phones you may have to drag down notifications and tap USB mode or USB connected notification (it has standard USB icon and only appears when phone attached to computer). Then tap either USB storage mode or the button to enable USB drives. Then on computer just like a thumb drive it adds drive letter. Copy anything there that is /mnt/sdcard or /sdcard on phone. BE SURE TO EJECT DRIVES BEFORE AND TAP TO DISABLE USB ON PHONE IN THAT ORDER THEN UNPLUG FROM USB (failure to do so COULD result in data loss or corruption which you DO NOT want to happen to a ROM zip)!
Then boot in to recovery choose install zip from sdcard (not apply update from sdcard) as install from allows you to browse for any zip and install. Usually Vol up and down moves through menus and power or search button is enter. BE SURE THE ROM YOU DOWNLOAD IS SPECIFICALLY MEANT FOR YOUR DEVICE OR YOU COULD EASILY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PLEASE REVIEW HOW TO RUN NANDROID BACKUPS AND RUN ONE BEFORE INSTALLING A DIFFERENT ROM.
I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH IF UNSURE DON'T PROCEED, BE SURE YOU RUN NANDROID BACKUPS AND ENSURE YOU FOLLOW INSTALL DIRECTIONS INCLUDED WITH YOUR ROM. ALSO, NEVER FORMAT EMMC (AKA INTERNAL SDCARD) IT ALMOST GUARENTEES A BRICKED DEVICE.

Is all good, and now you see why we were kinda scratching our heads wondering what was up a little . Glad we could help get you going though welcome to the world of custom ROMs. Please just be careful and always do backups and take it slow and read things 2x before even attempting once. While it can be easy to do it is also easy to accidentally brick your device (make it not work and have to be sent out for repairs).

[Q] Having issues with my Nexus S please help :(

Hey Guys,
I have a Nexus S GT-i9023. I was running KangyU 2.2.1 and it was working just fine till last night. This morning when I woke up suddenly everything was in landscape mode. I checked the auto rotate was off I turned it on but it wasn't rotating back to portrait. So at the advice of a friend I switched(did a factory reset, wiped dalvik, cache etc) over to Cyanogenmod and that issue is fixed but now my PC won't detect my phone. It says charging but the "Turn on USB storage doesn't come up" Please help
Thanks in Advance
P.S. I also scanned my device with AVG free from the market and there is no virus either :'(
It was working brilliantly till last night!

Turn off fastcharge? Have a look around as I'm unsure where it is on cm9. Nstools may be useful.

There is no fastcharge in NSTools or in the Settings.
And one more thing my phone said charging from USB sometime back when I connected it to my charger
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA

Odd. Don't know what it could be but it's probably just a ROM issue of some sort.

No that can't be it. I used CM9 for around a month before switching to Kangy. Thanks anyhow
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA

Best way to find out is to do a full wipe (data/factory reset, format /system, format /boot) and flash a stock ROM. Might even be a corrupted flash.
Oh, and one more thing. Try going into settings -> storage --> menu --> USB Computer Connection. This might have your answer, though unsure if CM9 even has this.

To flash a stock rom I need to put it on my phone which doesn't seem possible at this time! Or should I try mounting via CWM?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA

Mount via CWM, of course. Or you can do what i do and setup file shares on your computer and access it through ES File Explorer or similar apps.

Sounds interesting. Can you explain it in detail ?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA

Depends on operating system. In windows i've made several user and admin accounts with varying permissions, one of which i use only to login via my phone. I've setup all folders i wish to share (or entire drives with the right user account) through windows sharing (not wizard sharing or whatever it's called).
After this is all setup how i like it, ES File Explorer has a window to access network shares. I put in the IP address of my desktop (which is internally static), username and password for the account i want permissions for (for safety saved passwords have minimal access) and then i can open, modify and transfer files both ways as i please, based on the permissions the user account has, all from my phone. Works incredibly well and saves me plugging it in 30 times a day, plus i have general access to the main PC remotely around my house.

Oh so something like TeamViewer? Or dropbox. I can flash the Stock ICS ROM available on xda right?

Stranger issue has come up now. Whenever I plug in my USB , my fone automatically starts Car-Home and goes into Car mode
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA

Here is what you want. Grab the Recovery Flashable ROM of your choice. Keep in mind that when you reboot into android it will flash stock recovery - delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on boot to stop this (you'll need root for this).
It's not like teamviewer or dropbox. It also does not use the internet - only the internal network. Search around for SMB or CIFS, as well as Windows File Sharing (for windows) and Samba (for linux). It's the same system that lets you share printers to multiple computers and setup a school/university/work network with all user data stored on a mostly remote server rather than on each workstation so it's accessable from any workstation connected to the local network.

I have a stock Gingerbread backup I had taken while rooting my phone. Will that work?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA

It will work, but there's nothing quite like pure, unadulterated stock android to troubleshoot with.

Okay I'll try it and let you know.
So what all do I have to wipe to ensure perfect installation?

no bro it's still not working. Flashed stock GB it's still not working the USB mount. So it looks like a hardware problem doesn't it? Sadly it was working this morning when I transferred Kangy's 3.1 Update.

[Q] SD Card help. Out of options

Okay, so, I have upgraded to lollipop and I'm suffering the SD Card issue. Problem is, is that I've tried both the terminal commands and the flash files. They both worked but at the same time they didn't. Going into /data/media/0 won't show my files from before this incident UNLESS I go into /data/media/0 0 0 0. Only then will it show all of my files. After I had flashed the fix zip, clicking on SD Card showed nothing inside. Before, It would show files in it but none of mine unless I hit the zeros 4 times like in media. I'm completely out of options at this point and do not know what to do. Can I flash a 4.4.4 ROM and restart to see if I get the same problem? Any and all help is appreciated.

Anyone?? I really need this figured out.

Copy all your data off and then factory reset.

you can do what i did.. i used the root explorer file explorer and just moved all the folders/files back to where they should be, manually. it took about 25 minutes. you know where your files are, you know where they go, just move them back, one by one if needed.

Lol. When was the last time you did a clean flash?
Someone joked about this when the 1st dev preview came out. Saying if I keep dirty flashing i can get a row of 0 folders

I clean flash every time I'm flashing a ROM. Even when It's just an update to a ROM I'm using.

That doesn't fix it as I factory reset from recovery every time I install a ROM.

That's what I did. Only I get copies of certain folders. I just left them. Some of my pictures still don't show though. Idk why. For now, I'm leaving this alone as a temporary fix. Hopefully those missing files aren't actually deleted.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Then wipe storage too. Take all your data off and wipe the sdcard completely. Factory reset in stock recovery wipes sdcard. On TWRP, you have to wipe storage too.
