Hi,
Is there any chance of bricking my phone while flashing a custom ROM to it? I have successfully managed to install 4ext as recovery but I want to be 100% sure. Also, would it be possible to load on an I.C.S ROM (I am on 2.3.5 currently, stock ROM) and is possible, what one would you recommend? Or if that is not possible, what ROM would you recommend I put on? Thanks in advance

Yes messing with your device always carries a possibility of a brick. It is hard task to achieve this but it us possible.
As for the ROMs there are plenty of recent great editions of different Sense and Android versions, so best read some threads, comments, try some of them and pick the one you like the most.
There are a lot of tools to make this fast and easy, such as the Recovery, backup software and Google sync

I would recommend you reading through the posts in the dev section and make your own mind up. Everybody has their favourite ROM, and the debate can get over heated, which is why its best for you to make the decision based on your own findings.

As much of a n00b as he is, his Sensation is so much better than ours, since it has what is pretty much a Exynos chipset. I for one, respect that. The phones presence on this forum, not the OP.

Z710T is only for the Chinese market, if I remember correctly.
And the chipset inside is better than the Qualcomm in our Sensation from I read.
I think there is a special Chinese version of Sensation because China uses different mobile standard.
Hey i found a way to root the z710t....
1. there is no other way from HTCdev site, you have to unlock there.
2. there is special Clockworkmod for these model, you have to install this over fastboot, then ypu get the recovery, after you can flash any custom rom.

Hi! I will face the same problem: I am going to buy z710t because it's the best deal for my budget now.
Can you please provide the ling to CWM. And what kind of ROM you use personally on your z710t or can you recommend one?

Yes, I saw that! He he. ^ _^ But you have z710e while I have z710t that's why I thought I cannot do same things as you did to yours. Mine has different chipset than normal Sensation.
If I can do same things as you then I will buy that phone. (You know, Chinese stuff their phones with applications I never use and don't know how to use. More over I used to update stock ROMs - get the best out of the phone.)

I read a Chinese forum (http://bbs.angeeks.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2377547) and guys say no z710e or G14/G18 ROMs will fit z710t. People who did that ended up with bricked phones. There are custom ROMs specifically for z710t in their forum. Hope their ROMs have English menu too. Ha ha.
Hi there.
My Ds is unlocked with htcdev and has s-on...
I did a backup of my stockrom before I installed custom Roms... But: if I want get back to stock I need the original kernel for Ds... So I can flash it via fastboot, because of s-on...
Is there a way to get it anywhere?
Thanks

What you need is an RUU. It really would help if you would take the pains of searching the forum for similar requests before starting nearly identical threads. Helps reduce clutter as well as overhead on the servers.
But here's a link to set you in the right direction: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547924

i'm not really sure if you backed up your stock rom i supposed you backed up the stock kernel but how ever as i'm not to sure i would suggest flashing a stock RUU then restoring your rom
Hmm...sorry, I really used to search for it but there were thousands of crapresults... Or I am just too silly
So stock ruu flash?
Okay thanks
I see I better get s-off... Really annoying me to separate flash boot...

hmm... i ask myself: why i need an ruu, when i got a backup of my original system?
I tried to restore it and it works... but because of s-on, 4ext doesnt flash the original boot.img "i think"... becouse it doesnt do that with custom roms too....
am i wrong?
ahm... okay I think I've found something...

would it work if I flash it and run the recovery of my original system?
ain't it dangerous to just try it out?

THIS ONE is newer, faster and better on battery. Also includes rooting tools (to be flashed from recovery).
One malybru quoted is also good, but is GB, one i linked is ICS.

Hi,
All I know is that it is very close to stock.
I have never tried it myself.
It will not hurt to try it for yourself.
You can of course flash an RUU of your region and carrier.
This will return your entire phone(including recovery) back to stock.
It will leave you s-0ff.

No, if you still want s-off and root you are better off flashing one of the stock roms.
With ruu you will lose root, custom recovery and other goodies.
BTW, if you have a look under our avatars you will see why we cannot be on T-Mobile US.

Going back to stock - the best way is to use an RUU or a backup of your stock ROM (if you have one).
No, it won't remove it, as it's cause by low RAM, so android does what it does best - cleans RAM by closing apps. And sometimes it's the Launcher - Sense (Rosie).
However, there are mods to keep the launcher in RAM. I don't remember the name, but a quick google search might bring up some results.
Correct me if I'm wrong...but I don't think its possible to backup stock ROMs?

what do you mean by that?
to make a nandroid from recovery or are you saying something else?
I dont know what sense restarts are you talking about, and what rom are you using, or are you s-on or off? If your S-OFF, first thing you need to do is to lock your bootloader via fastboot 'fastboot oem lock' and then you can flash RUU.

Last time I tried to backup a stock rom through 4ext, I couldn't, it returned a error which I don't remember.
I google a bit by then and I've read in some forums that we cannot backup a stock rom due some different structure. By then I was dealing with a Samsung / Touchwiz, not sure sure if same applies to Sense Stock.

If you just want to be on a stock Sense ROM, just flash a stock rooted ROM from Development.
Or restore the nandroid backup you made before you flashed CM10.2. You did a nandroid, right?

Just pick a ROM from the "CUSTOM ROMs" section, and flash it (stock rooted ROMs are also included at the bottom of that section). No guide should be needed, if you already flashed a ROM before.
