Okay, now I know that there are other threads about this, but the issue is that none are specific to my problem. Either they are not for my phone, or my version is different or the thread is dead and with no replies. So I created a new thread.
Anyway, I was hoping that I could get a step by step procedure on how to root my phone and install a custom ROM.
The issue is, my KIES doesn't work (so help me with that also please) and moreover, I'm very new to all this so I don't quite get a few things.
Also, please tell me what are the best ROMs out there and if something does go wrong in the process, how do I un-brick my phone?
So I'm looking for active replies / repliers since I know I'll have a bunch of questions during the process.
Last, when I go to "about phone" on my phone it says "firmware version 2.2", but the little that I've looked up, people run 2.2.1. Does this mean my rooting process is different?
Thanks. And in case you want it, my kernel version is 2.6.32.9
Appreciate it.
rooting z4root
custom rom - pick a custom rom and follow instruction in that thread.
Your phone is already updated to 2.2 and that is the reason why kies doesn't show new updates. Our phone has 2.2 and not 2.2.1
If you use roms which doesnt have boot then it will not get hard bricked. soft brick can be fixed by reflashing.
What is the exact issue you are facing while using kies? Try a uninstall and reinstall. That should fix it
K, so I fixed KIES. I just had to update though, I was running on an older version. I didn't think a slightly outdated version would not detect my phone.. anyway never mind that.
So I don't really know what the best custom ROM is out there. could you suggest one? one that is fast (speed is really the priority), and not buggy, supports the apps that the stock ROM should. I'm willing to try three-four, so give me the names of the best ones out there.
Don't I need to root my phone before installing a custom ROM? If so, then I need to learn how to do that..
What do you mean it doesn't have a boot?
Well to figure out best ROm you will have to read up on each ROm. Each of them have separate thread where initial posts describe the properties of ROm. There are ROm comparison threads out there but that is just summary. I cant give you best choices. Everybody has different taste. Start with more popular ones, whose threads have more posts. More post -> more popular.
You can root using z4root.
Custom ROM are pre rooted normally so you need not root your phone before flashing custom rom

if speed is a prime consideration then i would suggest kyrillos rom..... fastest rom i ever used....... very less buggy.......
you can also flash lestatious rom..... it is damn fast and surprisingly stable!.....
and check dharam's rom collection too....... i'm using his ultra clean ultimate rom right now..... and it's good although since you are new i would recommend flashing a different rom from his collection.....
As for rooting.... you don't need to root before flashing a custom rom....
And in case you need any information about any of the features or anything.... just post it here ....... i'lll try to help you in whatever way i can.,.....

Hey i would suggest u to go for Indroid 4.3. I m using this and have seen many users jumping from lestatious and kyrollis to indroid.
As a begginer, u will also get many help in Indroid thread.
Z4root doesnt work in Froyo, if u wanna root, choose superone click.
U dont need kies to work, Use Odin to flash ur fone.
Make sure to learn processes better by reading through forums, if u dont wanna brick ur fone.
Hey!! I would suggest Indroid 4.3 or Kyrillos 5.6. They are fast as hey have lagfix.
And no you don t have to root your phone before installing a custom ROM. But if you want to root, use superoneclick to root.
And as for bricking, you can avoid hard brick by installing a ROM that does not have bootloader. Bootloader is a piece of code that runs before any operating system starts. So you should avoid flashing bootloader.
As for soft bricks, you can just reflash to come out of the soft brick.
okay so i was doing a bit of reading up and i realised the following :
1)First i need to download :
a) Odin (please post version number i have to get for my i5801 (or is it just one thing for all phones?) or a link please.)
b) some backup software. now i downloaded titanium backup, but it won't open because it says my phone is not rooted. so help me go about this.
c) a custom ROM. I think i'll start off with kyrillos rom since i've been told it's the fastest and very less buggy. i'll then move on to Dharam's ROM if i don't like kyrillos rom because Dharam seems to be a very active user, and quite friendly, and i feel he can solve the issues well. after that i'll try Indroid.
d) I also need superone click.
Question : Where do i download these? directly on my phone or on my computer?
2) I can increase my internal storage by partitioning a part of my SD card. Now I have a 4 GB SD card and i barely use it, so i don't mind giving upto 1GB of it. Please suggest the perfect amount. whether 1GB will be too much, or whether 500MB would be too less.
3) some apps do not work with custom ROMs. The app that i really want is 4shared. It's working currently on my phone with the stock ROM, so if someone can check if that will also work on the three ROMs that i mentioned.
4) soft bricking isn't much of an issue, but it's better i avoid it. so can someone give me a rather up-to-date guide (or link) on rooting, because the other ones are REALLY old. at least 4-5 months old and there have been some updates after that.
5) I can also overclock my phone. And from what I read up, SetCPU seems compatible with the above ROMs. And after flashing my phone with a custom ROM, my phone is automatically rooted. Correct me if I am wrong.
6) Flash player isn't available for our processor (V6). Since this is a hardware issue, there's no way i can make it work on some other ROM, can I? Because flash is a rather important software..
So that's it, I guess. Please add anything if i missed out anything.
PS : Does anyone know of any software using which I can download YouTube videos? Because the YouTube app kind of sucks, and buffering takes time since I don't have WiFi.
Wow!! Those are a lot of questions.
1) Link for ODIN.
ODIN>http://goo.gl/nCxCw
OPS FILE>http://goo.gl/ORin0
As for the backup software, Titanium backup is the best out there. As it can backup all the apps and all the settings. Yes you have to be rooted. So root and use.
And for rooting, use this tutorial,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011555
Don t worry about the oldness. This works. The link for superoneclicjk is available in that post as well.
Yes. Kyrillos is a good ROM. As it is prelagfixed and offer good internal memory as well after you partition your SD. Sizes, 512 MB ext4 and 128 MB linux swap. Rest of the memory you can use for storage.
As far as overclocking is concerned, in Kyrillos, you again have to flash a new kernel if you want OC.
And for the flash problem, only adobe can solve that problem.
And oh yes, most of the custom roms are prerooted. So after flashin you don t have to root again.

The rom is downloaded on your pc and flashed through it using odin.
I don't know any apps that work on stock rom and not on custom rom..... and 4shared works on kyrillos and indroid..... i've used it myself..
Most custom roms are already rooted and setcpu is the best app for setting CPU frequencies.
And as you said flash player isn't compatible with armv6 processors like ours.... so unless adobe makes it compatible no custom rom can do anything.
and for downloading youtube videos i'll suggest an app called you tube downloader or tube-X.......
Hope this helps...
Kernel
I flashed the indroid 4.0 Rom with Odin, and in short I will probably try to flash the indroid 4.3 Rom.
One question however, More and more I read about "kernel"(eg to get the 1% battery thing).
I know the kernel is the core of the operating system, but I don't understand how to use/apply it on my phone. Is the kernel something I have to flash separatly from the Rom, or is it included in the Rom?
If you need to install / flash it seperatly, where can I find the different kernels, and which one is recommended for my phone (Samsung Galaxy 3 Apollo)?
Hope someone can answer!
thnx

The kernel is included in the ROM itself. There are different kernels with different functionalities. For eg : - Most of the kernel that come with the ROMS are non-OC. So, if you want to overclock you phone, you have to flash the required kernel after flashing the ROM. The procedure is same using ODIN. Here s the link to the kernels.

Sorry for replying so late guys. Had a bit of an issue with the internet. Lightening struck somewhere near my house so it was down for a few days.
Anyway, thanks for all your help. I'll try to root+flash my phone day after as I have exams for two more days.
I'll post here if I have any other questions, but thanks a LOT for all your answers and help. But btw, what is the 1% battery mod?

if u have any other launcher like adw then go to settings > application > Adw launcher (for example) and press clear default.
Then press the home key, It should ask u to set detault launcher. Just click on the checkbox below and select touchwiz launcher.
Tell me if it works or not.
No I do not have any other launcher installed. At least it's not showing up there.. but i did try using the more latest version. 1.9.5. that seemed to work just fine. man, i was so scared before rooting this wondering what if something goes wrong. but that was easy
Titanium backup now and maybe flashing a new rom tomorrow (or in a couple of days, after my exam.) Thanks though! =)

1st step done successfully...congo...welcome to this amazing world.
I would suggest, go for indroid but follow all the steps properly and read the forums for all the problems.
and yeah we also get awesome themes and more memory /system!!
custom roms are faster with better battery backup.
currently on indroid 6!!
Last night I rooted my Note
Baseband Version N7000XXLB1 // ANDROID VERSION 2.3.6
So now what I want to do is install a new rom. Nothing fancy .. Nothing with bugs etc .. And apparently I have NO CLUE where to start. Don't know what to download .. I was all proud of myself when I rooted the phone, didin't realize how STUPID I was yet ... Suggestions? I just would like to have a link to "installing Ice Cream for dummies."
I read or heard to install mobile odin. I did and then couldn't find my way back to what I was supposed to do next .. I think I can't do it because I am just so frustrated .. but I think my head is gonna explode. I don't know why I am having so much trouble. I rooted my Streak, my Galaxy Tab, It is possible I am getting senile.

there are too many custom ICS in dev forum,since i been use RR7 for awhile so i think its good for you to start with.Right now ICS 4.0.4 out but install with Aroma and its kind of confusing.I guess you just start with ICS 4.0.3 first and when you use to live today and flash tomorrow and start play something else.Everybody start from beginning...:victory:.Wish you luck
PS: make sure follow OP step to flash.Here are the link of RR http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654838

I see that you are currently on 2.3.6, i.e., Gingerbread, hence you can safely flash any thing you want without worrying about the brickbug. Also as you are on GB you do not need Abyss 4.2.
Just decide which ROM you want to Flash (custom or stock). Also if you are planning to flash ICS Roms you have lot many choices. Just search through the forum.
Read Dr. Ketans Guide for root & flashing stock ROMs here, with additonal information in his signature: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Also if you are planning to install custom ROM, just visit the OP of the developer, for download link (a normal search in google will take you to the same, eg. searching Criskelo ROM for galaxy note in google). You then have to just follow the instruction to the line in the thread. Pls. read all instruction 2-3 time before you actually start flashing.
Further just take a look at this sticky threads if you flash to ICS & then you plan to flash another ICS ROM or go back to GB.

QUESTION: If it doesn't matter what rom I choose, why are they numbered like N7000XXLQ2. I am looking at this list of 4.03 and I don't see any with Baseband that ends XLB1 ..
I am viewing this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9-f02hJbdw&list=UUlVIlK8QHZ2PFkXF97bA0lg&index=5&feature=plcp and I 'think' I might be able to follow these instructions. Hoping I don't brick my phone before I go to work. That would make me nuts ...
YIKES .. I think it is actually upgrading ...it says it is ..
and YES ... It worked .. no problem at all Near the end he suggests installing "Speed mod..." Wondering what that is and do I need it?
buddy...if you dont know how to root and install custom ROMS...check the videos in my Signature...
and for the ROM...i would suggest Crash v7...VERY STABLE...and no bugs what so ever...

3- boot in Recovery
4- Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2!!!
5- boot back in recovery (you find this option under 'advanced' )
6- FullWipe(cach,davik,data)
7- Flash ROM
8- reboot system

at step 6 make sure BOOT BACK TO RECOVERY AND THIS ABYSS KERNEL 4.2 ARE TOUCH SCREEN not reboot system..
Dont make thing hard on yourself .Everything will be fine
Hey guys i`ve recently managed to get an SGS 4G Vibrant ( i believe that i am at right place to seek for help ) , i have the T-Mobile version of the phone. I need help switching to different/better ROM, at this moment the phone uses the stock one ( or i believe so ). I`ve been tru the threads and saw that there are a lot of stuff posted about what you need to do/have to flash a rom, but i just cant understand the right order of doing the things.
If its posible can someone really quick just post the steps for the guide for flashing a ROM to the phone. I have previous expiriance with android phone and i am aware how thing go, just as i said i cant get the right order of puting all the thing at one place.
For the phone i used to have was like, first i had to install an stocklike ROM which had recovery, but before that i had to get some kind of software for LG that alowes to flash the rom via download mode. So is the same here? It would be awesome if someone can link or atleast type all the software and other thing i need to have installed to make this work. For now what i have is the USB drivers for Samsung.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, that helped, not sure how i missed it. I am gonna write down what i did so far, so you could see if i messed up something.
I rooted the phone via SuperOneClick 2.2, then i installed the SGS Kernel Flasher, and then flashed the kernel, my current phone was running an 2.3.7 android, so i used the Basic with a Twist`s kernel ( i hope i did it right ), and now the phone rebooted and some different boot screen apiared with some Robotic Chick speeking some stuff, BUT for now the phone load to there, it doesnt wannt to load.
So did i messed up something, or ....
Can you go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Volume Down while pressing the power button and as soon as the SGS 4G splash appears leaving the power button ?
If so and you can see CWM Ver. 5.0... then kernel was successfully flashed.
You shouldn't be getting a bootloop.
What ROM do you want to flash ? If you want to flash GB then I suggest Barebone/Valhalla of some kind.
If you want ICS - Go to the CM 9.1 thread and follow the instructions. After that you may change to AOKP or MIUI or all the rest of the ICS ROMs you wanna try.

Well, it wasnt a bootloop, it just loaded to some point and stoped. Gladly still got the download mode and brought it back to normal to how it was. Thats why i came here to ask, `couse there are too much similiar sgs`s and stuff for them here, i just got confused whats what. Got to start from scratch anyway, at least i didnt bricked it

You are right to assume that i am a complete newbie when it comes to putting ROMs on Atrix2. It actually barely survived putting Romulus v2.0. (Romulus 2.0 has been a great "Restore" and i am tempted to be on it.)
Now, i want to directly go to the PA 2.99 ROM. Could you please guide me on how to do the upgrade.

Tried to follow the steps in n00b thread
Romulus is GB based (2.3.6). I have tried to follow the steps in n00b thread given.
The problem is the flashing via RSDlite fails by saying Preflash verification failed. Thankfully, the phone is not yet bricked but it still remains in Romulus 2.0. I tried using moto-fastboot as well but to no success.
Any tips on how to get past that?

Make sure you have the correct fxz. If it is the correct one, download it again, just in case it is a bad/corrupted download. Also try reinstalling the moto drivers on your PC. If everything is correct, it should fash no problem. Also, if you have attempted to flash several times it would be a good idea to recharge your battery.

Hey everyone,
I have a rooted Infuse that I've gotten stuck in recovery mode and I'm looking for some help! I have flashed several different ROMs over the last year but made a mistake last week by trying to take a short cut... Ya I know, noobie move. I had installed a rom and set up my phone but forgot to instal BLNTouchwake (it was compatible with the ROM) so I booted into recover any tried to install BLN without factory reseting and doing everything all over again. It messed up my phone a bit but I was able to flash a ROM onto it again and it worked until today. I tried to flash Carbon Rom 1.7 and it will no longer load a ROM. I am getting error status 0 and can't successfully flash a ROM anymore. I read a little bit about error 0 and that it's caused by a script error but that's starting to go beyond my technical knowledge and I have no idea how to correct that.
If someone could please give me some steps to try to get my phone up and running again that would be awesome!
Thanks,

Hey everyone,
I have a rooted Infuse that I've gotten stuck in recovery mode and I'm looking for some help! I have flashed several different ROMs over the last year but made a mistake last week by trying to take a short cut... Ya I know, noobie move. I had installed a rom and set up my phone but forgot to instal BLNTouchwake (it was compatible with the ROM) so I booted into recover any tried to install BLN without factory reseting and doing everything all over again. It messed up my phone a bit but I was able to flash a ROM onto it again and it worked until today. I tried to flash Carbon Rom 1.7 and it will no longer load a ROM. I am getting error status 0 and can't successfully flash a ROM anymore. I read a little bit about error 0 and that it's caused by a script error but that's starting to go beyond my technical knowledge and I have no idea how to correct that.
If someone could please give me some steps to try to get my phone up and running again that would be awesome!
Thanks,
Wardo

post #3 - just the kernel flash may be enough to get you back on cm10 track..if not start over from gb
need to know how to use heimdall..if you don't read the heimdall thread...just make sure to read all of it...some due diligence is needed
if you're not comfy with heimdall...use odin - i can't offer much help there
Thank you! I have been looking through threads all day trying to get this right. I have a Rogers infuse so I believe that I need the UXKG3 kernel but I have not found a single link that is still working to download them. Will the UCLB kernel work for my phone or will that create the rainbow effect on my screen?
