I have the same problem.
I had a rooted CM7.2. I upgraded to CM9 RC2 and then immediately to TAJB 6.
My SGS is no longer rooted, I cannot boot in recovery and I cannot backup my flash.
Is there a quick fix for that?
(I'd like to avoid the lenghty process of installing stock rom and going up the chain again)
Thanks.

Ok. I fixed it.
1st - Boot into CWM recovery (It turned out I could, I just tried it to wrong way!)
2nd - Install a superuser zip from CMW recovery
3rd - reboot your device
I found a superuser zip in this thread (this is for the HTC one X but it worked for me anyways):

[Q] GSM Nexus S JB Rom with Google now?!?

Is there a rom for a GSM Nexus S JB that has Google Now? I am currently on a Stock JB Rom with Google Now but the rom is sluggish. Its slower then my htc wildfire s, literally.
I cant find any updates to this stock rom, so i was hoping to switch roms to any other good, fast rom that has google now.
I tried to find roms with google now but to my luck, i couldnt find anything. Please Help!!
Thanks!
EDIT: i tried to go into recovery mode but i got the logo with the green android guy upside down with a red triangle and exclamation point. And i tried to reflash clockwork recovery again but i got these errors. Error 1- "You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use google search on your computer to find instructions on how to root your phone." My phone is rooted, i have superuser. IDK why its saying this.
Error 2- "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
HELP!!!!!

Ohh alright Thanks! And, i had my brother install the rom on my phone and he showed me how to do it but i forgot, so to flash the rom, i download the rom and gapps, place them on my phone, then go in to recovery mode and install both zips? Do i have to clear cache or wipe data or anything like that?

thats good to know.
just got the OTA stock JB update for my NS4G (from the dev forum here).... and honestly cannot see Google Now anywhere.

First rom zip then gapps, and finally kernel (if u wish, matrix rocks) then wipe cache and dalvik cache. Finally reboot

[Guide][FAQ][UPDATED] Don't know about something? check this out first

To make Pico general section free of multiple reptitive questions i decided to make a FAQ thread
1). Can i root my phone?
Yes you can if you unlocked your bootloader
refer to this tutorial for reference
2a). What can i benefit from rooting my device?
For basic users, Root gives us a privilege to use apps that require root like titanium backup, rootexplorer and the likes. Root can also give you the ability to use CWM recovery and install custom roms
2b). Is there a downside to rooting?
yes, for one you may loose your warranty for unlocking your bootloader. you may also have a very slim chance (like 1%) in bricking your phone if you dont know what you are doing
3). What is ROM?
It's like Windows in android.without a rom your phone is good as brick.
4.). What is CWM and Custom ROM?
A custom rom is a modified form of the rom that was given to us by htc. a few examples of this are CM roms, AOKP roms,PA roms,PAC-roms, Sense-Based CWM is short for clockworkmod recovery it's a tool use to install custom roms, patches.
5). What is this CM/AOKP/PA/PAC/SENSE your talking about?
CM is short for CyanogenMod, CM gives its user vanilla android experience (which is only present in nexus devices) at the same time more options and customization available there are 4 versions so far CM6(not available for explorer)(froyo 2.2.x),CM7(Gingerbread 2.3.x),CM9(Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.x)and CM10(Jellybean 4.1- 4.2)
AOKP is short for Android Open Kang Project, AOKP brings user MORE goodies than CM gives and it also gives the user Vanilla android experience.
PA is Short for Paranoid Android, Also like CM but it gives you unique Tablet UI (phone will look like a tablet) for your device even though it's just a phone.
PAC is combined PA, AOKP, CM. It gives the combined features of the 3
Lastly, Sense based rom are roms that are based from stock rom (with htc ui) or some are ported from other device
6). How to install one of this rom
Look for the rom that you think you like in android development section and follow the instruction given by the developer
7). So which of them is the best?
Try them all and don't compare roms people have their own preferences. when you compare roms some devs may feel bad and leave this device for good.

part 2:
1). My Device has very little amount of memory space available,how to increase memory?
there are various scripts in the forum to increase internal memory i'll give you some
this one or this one
2). Is overclocking the device possible?
for CM7/9 there is a kernel that support overclocking but i dont think its possible yet for CM10
3). Is Offline Charging for custom roms possible? (charging on plug while phone is off)
for now i haven't seen a rom or kernel that supports it (not sure about stock rom)
4). What is S-off
S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. In other words more options will be available once s-off is attained
5). So is S-Off Possible for HTC explorer?
As of now not yet but some people are trying to work on it
6). so what is a kernel anyway?
it's the medium through which the hardware part of the phone "talks" to the software side of the phone basically,like a translator of some sort. without the kernel a rom would never run
7). where can i get those kernels?
it's built in inside the rom you downloaded but you can try other kernels which other devs made by flashing them through the recovery
8). are all kernels compatible to my rom??
the answer is no, because some kernel were made for ics and not for gb, same goes for Jb kernel to Gb or Jb kernel to ICS so basically they are not interchangeable but there maybe kernels that can be compatible to both ICS/Jb because both versions were a little similar
9). so what's the best kernel??
again, the answer is dont compare them, but it's better not to touch the kernel because the developer of the rom has made the kernel in harmony with the rom. changing kernel may cause the rom to give unusual errors or problems

PS: If i made a mistake in the thread please feel free to tell me
I'll update the the thread whenever there's a new questions

Please suggest a way to install play store again... i installed and tried some custom roms... and made a backup of the stock rom using cwm recovery... but when i restored the stock rom...the playstore is missing.. please help..

Next can somebody PLEASE write out a thread outlining the benefits of an appropriate topic, or maybe a "A dummy's guide to composing a topic" maybe or "Do's and Dont's of topic composing".
Searching the forum can only prove to be beneficial IF the freaking threads have a TOPIC which gives an idea of the content!
Oh btw, this had nothing to do with either the OP or any post here just a general observation and the main reason of my cussing constantly while browsing these forums.

Thanks ive just bought a 2nd hand HTC Sensation running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 on a Viper S 5.1.0 rom.. its my 1st Android, and my 1st smartph, i know a little about techy stuff but definately no expert, so im not quite sure of the difference between Firmware and Rom (or are they the same?) i saw a link for Pacman something something, was a firmware packer for Kitkat, but is that a ROM? (i quite like the tweaks with Team Venom) so im pretty sure thats not the way to go.. id like to keep all the venom but have the chocolatey goodness of Kitkat.. if anyone could give me some feedback and tips or yes/no that would be awesome..

what rom topic!? , when he can't post on Android Development because he is under 10 post, and first read what he ask.... he is asking about rom changing...

Hoooo i always forget this, ... Sorry
@rzr86 : thanks a lot

Download and flash a couple of kit Kat roms. They all nearly the same in my opinion. I prefer sense 4+ to be honest. Don't ask which Rom is best because your thread will be closed ( just advise)

If you've got sense 5 you won't need to change the firmware. Do you know how to get into recovery mode if so after you download a kk Rom go to recovery and press backup. This will back up your sense 5 Rom incase you want to go back to it. When it's complete go back and press wipe all except sd card. Then go back and press choose zip and then find your download file. The kk zip file you downloaded should be there. Press install and wait. Once installed you have to go back and do the same with gapps file which you should have downloaded with your Rom. Once complete go back and reboot your phone then wait few minutes and your kk Rom will be ready to set up and use.

I believe he is asking whether there is a KitKat ROM with Sense. I don't know of any, but if someone knows a few, then they can make a suggestion.

Best rom
I'd recommend SultanXDA CM11, I think it is most stable and best battery life, almost no bugs.

First of all you need kernel who can support 4.2.2 version and SebastianFM work on it, as i know

Slow tablet, need advice- 4.2 stock

Hi all, this is my first thread so please excuse any noobishness.. I've got a tf300t and it is quite slow. I've done a factory data reset and that fixed some of the ills and I've disabled a good amount of stuff but it's still not as fast as my One X. My main question is this- will a custom Rom make it quicker? I have Been thinking about CM10 but if it's not going to be faster, then there is no point.
Thanks!

The answer is : Yes it will remakably be
You have the choice between many roms and kernels. And some combinations give incredible results.

What are some top ones that have stable releases? CM 10.2 is the only one I can think of
Sent from my HTC One X

I suggest you start with CROMI-X v5.4
It's stock based, stable with many performance tweaks.
And if you want to jump directly to kitkat, follow links in my signature.

Thanks! Do you know of a good guide for this?

There are several in this forum. I recommend you read what you find and judge for yourself which is more clear.
The more you learn, the more you avoid unpleasant surprises

Lol that's true. I have found some guides for both and one for CM is really simple IMO. What's the difference between CROMI-X 5.4 and CM 10.2?
Sent from my HTC One X

am thinking of installing the kitkat rom however got stuck at booting into recovery mode. I have unlocked the bootloader downloaded from the austek webpage, and my tablet is working fine right now but if I fastboot and then select recovery mode i get taken to the screen your describing- the open droid with the red exclamation mark triangle with the error message? cannot by pass this to flash with TWRP 2.7.1.0? any idea why?

The screen with 3 icons is fastboot mode, you don't have to choose any icon before flashing TWRP

We can say that CROMI-X is your actual stock ROM on steroids. There are many additions like performance tweaks, optimized kernels, useful apps and even ads blocking. Also the installer gives you the choice to install only what you need.
CyanogenMod, currently in version 11 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod

Are the custom roms specifically tweaked for each device?

Yes, provided to take them from the corresponding forum.

Okay cool, I'm going to try it this weekend I think. Curious- how do the Kit Kat Roms work? As I understand it, they are more or less jury-rigged for these devises that don't have a stock Rom
Edit:
Also, do chromecasts still work with custom roms?
