SOrry Guys Forgot 2 mention earlier. I moved To Xperia Mini Pro, So any1 else can take over and help PPL here taking hell outta there explorer
How to:
1. Download the files - "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" , "BCM4330.KO" "superuser" from Below link,
"Superuser.zip" - http://www.4shared.com/file/KalrHXNj/Superuser.html
"Bcm4330.ko" - http://www.4shared.com/file/GbW0ZtaT/bcm4330.html
"HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" - http://www.4shared.com/zip/920-kXYc/HTC_Pico_RecoveryBoot_with_ext.html
2. Extract "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" somewhere. say: desktop or some drive, copy "BCM4330.ko" onto ur adb "Tools" folder. Copy superuser.zip to ur Sdcard.
3. connect ur "Htc explorer(Pico) via USB" and open "recovery.bat from the folder u just extracted.
4. Wait relax, and watch ur device getting new underGarments. now as the time pass the "command Prompt" which just opened after opening "recovery.bat'' will show "adb reboot recovery" as the device boots to recovery, u will given new menu with blue fonts.
5. Now in recovery go to "Mount & Storage" and select "mount /system" with device connect via USB
6. I presume u have adb already setup on ur pc/laptop. Open "CMD" and type.
HTML:
adb shell mv -f /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.bak
adb push /full/path/to/bcm4330.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko
7. Now, select "unmount /system" from recovery menu (from where u earlier mounted /system)
8. select "goback" from below. now go to "install zip from SDcard. and and slect first open (which says choose zip from sdcard, or somthing like this). find the "superuser.zip" which u copied to ur sdcard and flash by selecting it.
9. Now if flashing goes smooth and it says "install zip from sd complete" then reboot ur device and enjoy.
For getting more space on ur device, download "link2sd"
For link2sd to work, i have attached tutorial for this (which i found by googleing) in Jpeg format (picture)
after getting link2sd to work , u can link the apps to sdcard and save more on device.
there is another option for getting more space on device.
Just download "terminal emulator" from market. pls note: u need to be rooted for this.
and give su permission to the app when prompted.
just enter
HTML:
su
pm setInstallLocation 2
now u will be taken to the next line and thats all
all ur apps will be installed to sdcard automatically. please note: when installing widgets, pls move them back to ur phone memory as they dont work on sdcard
Suggestion: You can pm me if you have some confusions or facing some problems rather than going some where else. I am always happy to help and there for the android community

Hey jitin02,
Thanks a lot for the post... But here are some changes I had to do to root my phone.
a. To install recovery:
The bat file kept waiting for the device infinitely. I just manually ran the two fastboot commands and the reboot command to setup recovery.
b. Copying superuser files:
Your method of extracting the zip file and then pushing them over to the /system directory will surely not work on windows systems, especially FAT32 file system computer, su file will not have executable rights when its copied into the dir.
right way is
copy superuser.zip to sdcard
boot into recovery
choose install from a zip option and point to that zip
Thanks for the post!
WIFI error and solution!!
rooted the phone manually with .cmd and then installed .zip from sd card.
when rebooting no wifi connection (error) and then formated using recovery but it didnt reboot (supose i have no rom installed now =$) how can i install another one, is there any for explorer?
any compatible rom would be fine for the time being.. =S
EDIT: found a ROM at last from a chineese site, (Eng and chinese languaje) the first one out there!!

sorry i dont know this , may be google can help.
this method is only to root
Unfortunately I bricked mine too. Oddly everything was fine for a while. Until it starting giving a wi-fi error and after that I tried to fix it with a reset and after doesn't go any further than the HTC logo. Any thoughts in how to bypass this other than flashing a new rom? I kinda liked my stock and didn't backup.

Mine is locked and I tried a different network SIM and it worked fine. Can't guarantee for sure because I didn't tried before rooting.

sent ROM in PM
install it through recovery after wiping all cache and memory (recovery option)
everything works perfect, you have to install android market separatelly and reboot for it to work (at least me). Full reboot (untick the fast reboot from settings)
I am preparing a custom rom with preinstalled apps and without the chinese ones, i will be posting it soon.
I have a good news for HTC Explorer users'. My friend, he rooted it successfully. I'll post a translator tutorials about it for u all soon.
Now, Register a account on http://www.htcdev.com first

Only one at the moment in all the entire internet, it has preinstalled the "superuser" and a file browser (some more but not used as thay are not in english), but has the chinese version of the market so we have to install it separatelly.

Here is Only ROM available YET!
www.megaupload.com/?d=3RC9EE9Z
The custom rom is ok so far... still I am kind of a noob. Or feel like one. Is there a way to install other languages to that rom, specially the systemlanguage? and how to customize the rom?
Sorry for asking dump questions
Just figred, after I installed Market, and try to install an app, crashes. telling me the process has endet unexpected. :-(
Should have stayed with my original... anyone has a backup of an original rom?

I didn't find any ROM but that one, managed to make android market work by rebooting the phone (full reboot, untick the fast reboot option)
dont know how to add new languaje (if possible)
to modify ROMs just eliminate the .apk you want from system/app inside the zip and add any you want, I just modified mine and added like 15 different apps (file explorer, Copilot, android market, music player, adobe flash...) and doesn't use any memory (just available ROM) you have around 50mb free . once you install it look for available memory left with programs like APPS2ROM (it doesn't work in our HTC but helps me see ROM memory left).
i am going to try now to add an app to ROM memory by just creating a .zip file with /system/app folders and the .APK in it, let see if it works
Yes I figured now, you have to reboot the phone. Works fine now. Already made a clean backup.
Ive seen a file which has many apps listed and SHA1 keys in it. hats why I am asking for howto cook your own rom. Let me know if it worked. Would be great if I could add and remove some stuff

I am afraid it doesn´t, ("Installation aborted" message in Recovery). I will look for a diferent way to do it, not as simple as making a .zip file with "system/app/**.apk"
You can still uninstall them from rom memory using apps like "rom uninstaller" in andoid market
EDIT: found a way around it , just add the .apk inside "/system/app" in the "superuser.zip" found in the first post
http://www.4shared.com/file/KalrHXNj/Superuser.html
you already have this app in your phone so there is no problem in reinstalling it everytime you like on top of it (it even is the "pro version" of superuser, not the one on the custom ROM)
everything perfect
just note that no ALL of the apps work perfectly in the ROM memory, some crashed when opening them and had to uninstall them using "rom uninstaller" and install them manually
(I found just 2 small ones)
Yes while experimenting I found rom uninstaller too. and I managed to get rid of Sense 3.5 and some other stuff.
I installed GO Launcher EX instead and it runs alo better and faster than Sense.
Even this is my first Droid, I love it. I will make some Screenshots of it as soon I am dne with work.
I thank XDA and all users for the great work. Now I need to figure out if there is a way to install more languages.
For all PMing me... Scroll up to find the ROM
Wifi Issue
Did anyone figure out why WiFi is not working?
We have not changed the kernel, so I don't understand the reason...

The funny thing is that it only affects the stock rom installed, I flashed the "superuser" after the custom rom and wifi works perfectly

I guess the problem is with recovery.img that we flashed, if there is someone who has not touched it yet, can you take a backup of it?

Hi!
I'm using Prestigio 5000 duo and this method does not seem to work for me. Mostly the script remains in the infinite loop, sometimes it said it completed however there was a mount - no permission error and no rotting was done.
I also tried MTK tools without any luck. Is there any other way?
My version is: PAP5000DUO.V20130419.V1.0.10
Please help! I'd like to create a backup (install CWM) and fix the jumping wifi mac address bug. (apply custom mac address). Rooting is needed.
Thanks!
It seems like I have JB 4.1.1. and this one works for 4.0 only. I'm looking at this solution ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245259 ) but I haven't been brave enough to start it as I first tried to read back the recovery from the phone before flashing the new, it does not work (0% does not move). Also when I cat the proc/mtd file in abd shell it returns an empty list.

Now I was able to read back but cannot download the recovery: SP Flash Tool Error 8038. I have Prestigio PAP5000Duo.
I have MTK6577 scatter file (MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt). Should I press upgrade instead of download? Will it work with only a single recovery file?
Thanks!
OK, I figured out it myself. The process did not work with the scatter file that was provided with the recovery image. Using MTKDroidTools it was two clicks to create one. (/prec/mtd was empty, that was a nogo).
Now it works. Unfortunately mac address changing does not work even with root. I get random every time. What a pity...

How can that happened?
Hey XDA ! =D
I'm still interested in installing Cyanogenmod 10 on my LG Optimus One P500h, but I want to make sure I follow the steps properly first - this is my first time installing a custom ROM, and when I heard it was possible to install Android 4.0 on the P500h, I performed a backup from ROM Manager, and I "bricked" my device a few days ago. XD
I wouldn't want this to happen again, but at least, I must say I have more experience now, and learned a lesson.
Did many searches on how to install CWM with Cyanogenmod 10, I found many different ways to do it, and I'm still unsure of which procedure follow.
Read the FAQ and that was really helpful.
I will list the procedure that I would normally try - please correct me if I forget anything:
0. Root the device
Done that already. I'm on Android 2.3. When I flashed the KDZ on my LG (and so to my surprise, got me updated from 2.2 to 2.3.3) , I've used V20A_00.KDZ, so I *assume* this is the second baseband.
1. Compact/Trim Cyanogenmod ROM
Downloaded CM10 here. This look correct: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811325
January 8: Build 7/Final
I chose C10 over C11 because more things are compatible I believe - was it Bluetooth that did not worked under C11, but does on C10 ?
Anyways, that solve a known problem: many users said they loose network after the ROM installation. Shinobisoft confirmed it was because of the lack of space on the System partition, right ? Compacting the ROM would also fix problems for installing Link2SD ?
I've downloaded the tool "OOne ROM Editor" and opened it - it doesn't look complicated at all. What apps are safe to delete ? Will converting them to "user app" save space for system apps (I'm not sure - Where are the apps stored when defined as "User"? SD card rather than /System ?) ? Can I delete fonts without problems (I don't see why I can't keep ONLY 3-4 fonts, not 10) ? Then how much space will be left on the device ?
Read I cannot delete LatinIME.apk. Is this the default keyboard? 20MB is huge, there's no way to compact this file, right ?
Assuming there's like 10MB free, network will work, but I will have no choice but to use Link2SD to install apps fully on SD card, is this correct ?
2. Baseband stuff
Ehm, what are we referring to as "baseband" in first place?
All ROMs starting with CM7 are new baseband. If your device had Android 2.2 prior to flashing, you are on old-baseband. There is a patch for that also in the LG Optimus One FAQ on the first page, not sure which post off the top of my head tho. If your device had Android 2.3 on it then you have a new baseband device which shouldn't require any patches.

Allright, this should make this a lot easier - as I said, I originally was on Android 2.2, when I bricked the phone, I flashed "V20A_00" throught KDZ Updated, then I rebooted as 2.3.3, so I shouldn't do anything, right ?
In "About Phone", it's listed "Software Version: LG-P500h-v20a".
3. Install ClockworkMod Recovery
This look like the tricky part.
A lot of people on other sites said to use ROM Manager...
shinobisoft said:
First, serious word of advice. Stay away from ROM Manager. It does not handle this device correctly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ROM Manager's way of flashing recovery is broken by design. Do NOT use it unless you are comfortable with rescuing your phone via ADB/fastboot like many people before.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, ROM Manager is completely broken in this regard. It needs to download a signed ZIP and discard it and report an error when verification fails. Heck, ZIP format has even its own CRC check. What ROM Manager is doing (download whatever .IMG and flash it no matter what) is a nice WTF! Broken by design, go rewrite from scratch!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't trust the use of ROM Manager anymore on my device, and I'm not comfortable with using it again. I actually wonder: When I press VolumeUp-Home-Power, the phone perform a factory reset (Many people asked already why. This apparently mean that CWM is not installed).
But is it really installed? ROM Manager actually says: "Actual Recovery: ClockworkMod Recover 5.0.2.0". What? Am I supposed to press VolumeUp-Home-Power to verify, only to do another factory reset?
So what would the non-ROM-Manager method be ? I found this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146566
I know about the Android Terminal Emulator already, and as a Linux user on PC, the commands "su", "cat", "chmod", "mount" are not unknow to me. I should be able to do this... That's not risky ?
So when CWM will be installed, I should be able to boot in it using "VolumeUp-Home-Power"; in theory, this is a bootloader, so if the ROM get screwed up, I *should* be able to access the bootloader to restore the ROM (I compare this to a PC BIOS - the OS is screwed, but BIOS remain accesible) ?
How could I explain that when I bricked my device with ROM Manager, I couldn't perform a factory reset, and only had access to Emergency Mode (I assume there is not such thing as a "Recovery Mode" on a P500h stock, new/untouched. The equivalent immediatly perform a factory reset) ?
All Android devices have a recovery partition. This is essentially a section of the device’s memory devoted to a very basic recovery system that is separate from the normal operating system. This is normally used by manufacturers for recovering a broken device (as even if the operating system crashes, the recovery image has a chance of still being access and used to reflash the operating system, etc.).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By default, the LG P500h recovery partition perform an immediate factory reset - CWM will be installed here, so I should be able to access it if the ROM freak out. But why couldn't I access the factory reset, when I bricked the device? That's what I wonder.
4. Access CWM and do a Nandroid Backup to SD Card
I will now have the files boot, cache, data, recovery and system, as well as"nandroid.md5" on SD card.
5. Wipe everything, clean SD Card
Perform "Wipe data/factory reset". This will format the /data, /cache, /sdext, and .android_secure
Select the "Advanced" option and on the next screen select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Confirm the wipe.
Not necessary but I do it anyway, in the "Advanced" screen select "Wipe battery stats" and the confirm that wipe
For a clean installation I recommend formatting the system partition too. From CWM home screen select "mounts and storage". On the next screen select "format /system" and then confirm the format.
Press the back button until you are back in the CWM home screen. Select "Install zip from sdcard" and then select "Choose zip from sdcard". Browse your sdcard for the ROM to install and select it. Confirm the installation. Now wait for the install to finish.
Go back to CWM's home screen. Select "reboot system now" option and let the device boot. The initial boot will take a couple of minutes. Don't panic.
Click to expand...

6. Partition SD card (?)
Is this at that point that I should do it, in CWM ? Or wait until I access Cyanogenmod and use a software on PC to partition ?
Assuming I don't partition, I guess I definitely will lack space for applications (Due to the space of Android 4.0) ?
I will do "Partition SD Card>EXT4 1024MB>Swap:64MB. Is this correct?
7. Install Cyanogenmod
Install ZIP from SD Card, choose the CM ZIP;
8. Install Google Apps
Once the install is done, I won't reboot and immediately install Google Apps, with "Install ZIP from SD card". I chose this package (Working on JellyBean):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917411
Then I should reboot in CyanogenMod and finally install Link2SD, I believe.
***
..Did I forgot anything ?
I *believe* that makes sense, but this is my first time installing a ROM - I doesn't look *that* hard, I did researches, but things can go wrong... :/
What should I do if I screw things up? Use KDZ Updater again ?
I'm still a little worried about that baseband thing, and the lost network connection.
Thanks for the input, cheers!
1) Use FlashImageGUI app to flash recovery/or use Recovery.IMG flasher by @shinobisoft
2) Forget the baseband stuff
3) Factory reset is the default action when you boot into stock recovery
4) If you partition SD card your data will be wiped anyway

1) I've checked FlashImage GUI, it look really simple to use. This is what I see now:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67605655/snap20140216_103936.png
For flashing a recovery image, should I select Clear Dalvik & Clear Cache ? Do I have to enable USB Debugging?
Where can I find the recovery image for CWM ? Here maybe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
I don't know, I would download CWM v5.0.2.7_Touch_p500-Build 4.zip.
Would the terminal emulator method would be easier (I still need to find recovery.img)?
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount rw /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/xbin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/xbin/flash_image
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
# mount -o remount ro /system
# reboot recovery
Since I have no Nandroid backup (I cannot do it until CWM is installed), what could I do if something goes wrong ?
2-3) Excellent, thank you.
4) I plan on partitionning, but at which point shoud I preferably do it?
Thank you, I appreciate the help - sorry for all the newbie questions.
1) Recovery image is in the zip fie itself. Extract it
The terminal method you're telling is just what FlashImage GUI does (notice the word 'GUI' )
2) Partition it whenever you want. Just backup your stuff before doing it.
3) As much I hate to say, the thanks button is there for a reason

Ok, so I've downloaded ClockworkMod_5.0.2.0_Recovery_ThunderG_Official here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
Extracted the ZIP and put the file recovery.img at the root of the SD Card (USB storage); so now all I have to do would be to start FlashImage GUI, select "Recovery Image", browse and choose the file recovery.img, then flash (I won't select Clear Dalvik & Clear Cache unless I have to (It's not selected by default, so I assume it's not require - although I've backed up my stuff already).
It's that simple?
I'm still in a learning stage, I bricked the device once with ROM Manager, so if that work, I should be more confident for the rest (I will take a Nandroid backup). Thanks for all the great explanations - Will press the thanks button soon
(How much thanks can I give per thread?)

Don't worry you won't brick it.

Allright, I got it!
I saw the success message, then used the keys to reboot in recovery, that worked!
At the boot, I can read "ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 E: Bad boot message "recovery ".
I believe the "E: Bad boot message "recovery " is a known issue, and but is not a problem - please let me know if I have to do anything about this.
So now I will compact the Cyanogenmod ROM (I don't know how much space I should free, but I'll try to free a decent ammount), and perform a Nandroid backup to SD card.
I believe the hardest/scariest is done. From now, if the ROM install fail, I could just restore the backup, I guess.
Are they any case when CWM is unaccessible (When I bricked my device, I had no access to stock recovery (which only perform factory reset) but just Emergency Mode. Why was that?) ?
Thank you, I will let you know about the rest.
(Will press the thanks button at the end I don't know if it's OK to thanks on multiple posts on one thread, on this forum)
EDIT:
That error message means you dont have SD-ext. Ignore it.

EDIT 2: Nandroid backup succesfully taken! I now have the files .android_secure.vfat.tar, boot.img, cache.yaffs2.img, data.yaffs2.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img and system.yaffs2.img. Will backup these on my PC.
It's OK to thanks on multiple post.You just have a limit of 8 thanks per day.
ROM manager made anything inaccessible except emergency mode or fast boot mode for some people.
(When I flashed my Oone with CWM, ROM manager worked like a charm)
You can flash the ROM now

I appreciate the information;
It's quite akwards that ROM Manager broke everything (And I asked for a BACKUP - that's so broken, it brick the device when you want to BACKUP <__<) - when it rebooted, it was in Fastboot mode, and I never saw that mode before. Tried a few recommended commands without problems, but when I rebooted, I only had access to Emergency Mode.
What would be informative for me to know, is that ROM Manager seems to not only have screwed the ROM, but the stock bootloader as well. Weird.
Shinobisoft said we need to compact the CM10 ROM with his utility first, because the System partition is too small (Otherwise, I will have no network). I will do that, I have the tool, that doesn't look complicated.
From now, I am backing up my SD Card content (DATA is backed up too) with Nandroid present on SD, so I could start formatting, immediately followed by SD partitioning.
I guess I should be fine at that point - if anything goes wrong, I should have the option to restore the Nandroid backup.
Will let you know when I'll have the ROM compacted (Probably today).
EDIT: YAY !
Everything worked as we expected! I saved my SD Card on my computer, wiped it, partition it from CWM (EXT: 1024MB, SWAP: 64MB. I have a 16 Micro SD, class 4 (Can't afford higher class much, for now), then installed the compacted ROM. Immediately after, I installed Gapps, then rebooted.
That worked !! This ROM is DOPE ! Totally worth upgrading ! Blazing fast !! (Will be slower with apps installed, but well)
I also have a working network!
There is one thing that "failed", I cannot get Link2SD to work. It always says "cannot create mount script". I checked with Windows (I know by experience that I should absolutely not edit Unix partitions in Windows, I just check), and the FAT32 partition is the first, then I have a EXT4 partition, then the Linux-Swap, I don't know why it doesn't work.
I used Gparted to format the EXT4 partition to EXT2, but same problem, "cannot create mount script". What am I supposed to do ?
Thanks youuu !! =D
I'm really happy to have done this on my own, with help - I now have more experience with Android, I have experience with Windows, Linux OS and OS X, but never did I tried flashing a ROM yet.

That's what I've thought, according to "Storage Analyzer", /sysem has as minimum free space of 84KB (!) and a maximum of 4.63 MB.
Did not experience any weird stuff, for now.
sd-ext folder doest exist at root, but it's empty.

Link2SD needs at least a MB to create mount scripts.
Delete some system apps like TerminalEmulator, CM File manager, Email, Exchange services.
Also use mini LatinIME.

Yes, that's right. You can check /system space by using Root Explorer. Or go to
Settings>About phone>Partition info.
I got 10+MB space left on /system partiton after trimmed the ROM and installed mini gapps.
You're right, Link2SD only works if there is 3MB, at least, left in system partition.

Once you have success with link2sd creating mount scripts, you can access at /data/sdext. Been a long time since I ran Jan 8 cm-10, but I seem to recall that partition info is not in settings/about phone. But link2sd will have it. Or there are other apps. When viewing storage info from settings menu, don't confuse internal memory with /system (190mb). Internal that is shown there is/data (200mb).

Install some file manager from play store. In phone settings (not file manager) choose security. Then choose to allow installation from unknown sources. Then open your file manager, scroll to sdcard/downloads/ ,and click on flashimage GUI.apk. Installation process will start.

Hi guys
It has been a long time since my phone has been this bad.
So last night I go to charge my phone because I had ZERO battery. So I turned it on and then plugged it in. The phone booted fine but then I noticed that the screen was not shutting off. I even tried hitting the "Go to sleep" button from the pull down menu and nothing happened. I also realized the phone was not loading my calendar. When I went into the file manager it didn't show SDCARD 1 or 2.
I decided to clear the memory (dalvik + cache) = SAME PROBLEM
I did a factory restore = same problem
Finally I cleared the system = now i have no OPERATING SYSTEM ON THE PHONE
I went to the external sd card and tried to install the latest version of OMNI....IT SAYS IT CANT READ FROM THE SD CARD.
I also tried to copy the file from external sd to internal sd card and it says FAILED
I don't' know what to do...
I am using Team Win Recovery Project 2.6.3.0
I have the latest omni rom on my external sd card. I can see it but install fails.
Please help :crying:

Calm down dear. Same happened with me. I formatted /system and find that I don't have any operating system in my mobile.
Just pluggin your mobile in recovery mode to your PC. transfer the file-> Flash the ROM-> Gapps -> BINGO..
BTW, wrong area for creating a thread.
Don't worry. Do what D™ said.
Alternatively you can use "adb sideload" method. I used it once with Philz recovery. In sideload method, you won't need to copy the file in Sdcard. File existing on pc can be directly flashed. This would help if you still face problems copying file to Sdcard. Search it on google. You will find steps for it.
A bit more clear please...

Just pluggin your mobile in recovery mode to your PC. transfer the file-> Flash the ROM-> Gapps -> BINGO..

Hey
Ok I am a bit calmer knowing I didn't brick my phone or anything...
But when I connect my phone to my computer I know it is connected (I see GTi9103 in device manager with an "!" ) but I cant transfer files.
Could someone provide a link to the adb method or maybe give a bit more advice on this problem..
Thank you guys!

It must installed drivers.. If u cant access the storage, just flash ics via odin and further known actions.

Thanks dude! I will give it a try and post a response! It was just so strange that I couldn't see any of the drives (sdcard 1 or 2) in filemanager. I guess something must have got corrupted? Right now I am trying to push from adb method mentioned from Nikhil.
I am following this procedure.

PS. the android SDK is massive!
ADB FAIL
ADB IS WAY TOO complicated for me right at this moment (actually exhausted).
********Can someone provide me with a ICS download link? *******************
I'm going to try out the ODIN method

Download Stock Indian ICS
Btw, adb sideload method is as follows.
0. Install adb for windows (assuming you have windows). (There shouldn't be any driver missing)
1. Enter into sideload mode in recovery
2. Open cmd in computer with the directory in which zip file is kept. (shift + right click -> open command prompt here would do)
3. Enter adb sideload xyz.zip
Thats it.
I've tried it with TWRP recovery in my friend's phone. It didnt work. But When I tried with Philz recovery, It worked well.
Anyway, if you are finding it complicated, flash stock ics.
Edit : Did you try "mount usb storage" in recovery? because it is required to do. else computer won't recognize your device.
success!
OK so I successfully flashed via ODIN....Can I directly flash omni now? I am assuming yes...Can I flash it through ODIN?
Also can you recommend any good versions of ICS? It is really quite a bit faster than omni...
AGAIN thank you all

Omni is best until now.
you can't flash omni via odin. Flash Philz or TWRP first and then flash omni.
Lv5 ZCLPD is best ICS Rom. But I would choose Omni over Lv5,
reinstall twrp?

Reinstall!
Not if you already installed it.
Read OP of discussion thread. Instructions are there. You will find everything you need.
ICS will faster for few days and then it slow down.. hang.. GB is best for our device..
