Hello need help
LG p500 i want to install this ROM cm-10-20130108-UNOFFICIAL-p500
But need help hou to install the rom?
1st you need to root your phone if you have not done it yet. Then install a custom recovery before you can flash a rom. There are detailed instructions in this forum to help do this. I suggest you read before you try anything which could leave you with a potential brick. If you do decide to go ahead, you'll get all the help here. :thumbup: some reading and full instructions in shinobisoft's thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149636

Back + vol down + power.
Yes. you can copy the rom zip to the sd card and flash through your custom recovery.
Do take a nand backup before you flash the new rom, just in case....no harm if you have a backup right?
Also since you'll need to wipe all/cache/dalvik/data before you flash the new rom, it's better to sync all your contaccts to google / have a contacts backup before you do flash the rom.

The simplest instruction.
1. root
2. instal custom recovery
3. (optional) backup rom
4. read instructions before flasing the rom (requirements etc etc)
5. flash rom
I think you have a froyo rom and you have old baseband. search this section on how to change baseband and how to root froyo.
You will have to read even if its too long if you want to learn.

Thank you.
Please can someone help me answer this.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Can you rephrase your statement or question or whatever it is?
DOS.... wtf?
Suing people.... wtf?
If you're trying to apply a custom ROM, then go ahead and install "ROM Manager" from the Market. Then download a ROM to your internal SD. Then install ClockWorkManager. Then boot to CWM and apply the ROM from SD card.

How you rooted does not matter..IF you gain root. and your phone shows you have root.
if the question is can you flash a rom ontop of the root process, then Yes you can.
dont know what roms your looking to flash.

on my old phone i used odin to flash ROMS. I tried doing the volume up/down and power on this DOS Root I did and it did not show any back up/restore or new flash options. thats why I was confused.
Downloaded ROM Manager but The Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket isn't listed in order to install Clockwork Manager. Only the Tmobile Galaxy S II is listed.
Read this thread and follow the instructions carefully. Itll give you cwm recover and tell u how to boot into it so then download a rom place on you sd card boot into cwm. Wipe data factory reset 3 times then clear chache 3 times the go to advanced clear davlik cache 3 times then install zip from sd card
Hi guys
I have a rooted optimus one updated to gingerbread with cwm 5.0.2.0 recovery installed and I want to flash a custom rom So what is the risk behind that??
No risk, but don't forget to make a nandroid backup first!

Nothing, but make sure you create a nandroid backup and then wipe all the user data to avoid things going haywire.

Seems like u have crossed the most dangerous part so no risk.now u can flash any custom rom. Try gingersnap/LEWA or MIUI(by fundooz). these are the best roms available now

> actually there is a risk.. like loosing your precious data,contacts etc.. or even loosing connectivity on gsm,3g bla bla bla... so always do a NAND backup of your current rom.. backup your data and contacts.. review before flashing, some roms are for old baseband some are for new.. some are for both.. so you must have a knowledge what baseband your into.. and you must know which fix is for what.
Backup + Read instructions properly = No Risk!
Nandroid backup is in recovery, just reboot into recovery and select backup/restore to get into the setting. I only have one backup from when I went from gingerbread to pics. I just nice to have when your testing a new from.
After the backup just try the roms to see which one you like. There all slightly different. No worries.
as long as you back up all your apps, and do a nandroid you should be fine. But if you have optimus T, only search for roms with old bb. If you have optimus one (2.3), search for roms with new baseband. Or if you want newer nicer roms, upgrade the optimus t bseband.
There is a risk always.
Flashing the baseband is the biggest risk.
The good news, all this procedures and methods has been well tested,
so the risk is minimum.
Just remember to read all the documentation, procedures, etc
and you will be fine.

You cant flash cm11 with that recovery, here, try this, you have everything you need here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8z3yft2zzd338jt/cm-11.0.0-p500-noe.rar
Flash recovery, flash rom, then gapps, install gmscore.apk, (kernel, if you want...) and your're good to go. Say thanks to Noe!
ps: cm11 will not work verry good on p500 and if you want to change it this is the best: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5x74gj3z9ru3jax/cm-9.2.0-ICS-PLUS-p500.zip
hello everyone.
m new to this world of rooting & all
i already successfully rooted my lg p690 & want to install recovery image to make a nandroid backup,
plz guide me how to proceed...
thanks
The easiest way, though somewhat dangerous, is to install ROM Manager from the Play store. Do not attempt a backup! Though it works fine for many devices, some devices are bricked by attempting a backup through ROM Manager.
Use it to install custom recovery, then exit the app.
Alternatively, if you have the .img or .zip file of the specific recovery you want to install, use Android Flash Recovery through your computer. It's safer, but you have to download the custom recovery image yourself.

hello guys,
Do u guys know how to upgrade andriod version from 2.3.3 to 4.03 - 4.04 for Inspire 4g smartphones ?
Would appreciate for helps
:good:
Are you rooted? If not, you need to root first with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit by attn1 (it's not here; you will need to Google for it). More detailed instructions are in post #7 of the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature. If you are rooted with a custom recovery, just backup, full wipe, and flash it from recovery.

Do you have a recovery like CWM or 4ext? Make sure it's updated, then just download an ICS ROM, backup your current one, full wipe, and flash.
I did backup everything but question . what does flashing has to do with upgrading andriod version ?
I am quite lost ,sorry about that

"Flash" in the whole custom Android world means to install something from recovery.
Okay wait , so in order to upgrade to 4.0.4 i need to flash a rom and not like doing some stuff for it ?

What do you mean by doing some stuff for it? Sorry, I think I didn't originally grasp how in-depth of an explanation you wanted. In the terminology I understand, yes, you just need to flash a ROM.
1. Download the ROM of your choice; for non-Sense I like aospX from the Inspire 4G Dev forums. Save it in the sdcard in a place you remember.
2. Boot into recovery. You can do this by rebooting and holding power and volume-down, then navigating to recovery with the volume buttons and selecting it with the power button. Or, if you have it as an option when you long-press on the power button, just select recovery.
3. In your recovery, back up your current setup. Different recoveries differ in the exact settings, but find backup and do it.
4. In your recovery, find the wipe options. Wipe /system, /data, and /cache. Note that factory reset means to wipe data and cache only.
5. In your recovery, find the install/flash options. Navigate to the ROM you downloaded and select it. Wait for it to install.
6. Reboot.
Im really sorry about this .
i don't want to flash a new ROM , i want to upgrade my andriod version from 2.3.3 to .4.0.4

But to upgrade, you need to flash a new ROM. The ROM is the upgrade. Since HTC does not have an official ICS for our phone, the only way to get it is by flashing a custom ROM.
alright thanks alot ,and sorry if i did frustrate you in any way

Hello,
I'm new to rooting/modding/roms, and I wanna install the awesome Ultimate HD rom on my locked, unrooted Xperia Arc LT15i:
Gingerbread
Android Version: 2.3.4
Build: 4.0.2
I don't know where to start.
The page of the Ultimate HD rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207) says:
- For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash the Recomnend Kernels; Adv. Stock Kernel
- For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957
I don't think I gotta start with this page ^
I wanna unlock the bootloader, that's step 1 I think (via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087)
But what's the best way to root and make my Arc ready to install the Ultimate HD rom?
I saw some pages like this about rooting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874801
But I don't know which one is good and which Kernel I gotta use to go from:
Xperia Arc unrooted 2.3.4, 4.0.2
to
rooted, unlocked with the Adv. Stock kernel Ultimate HD rom.
Do I have to install the official ICS update first on my Arc?
first off all you got to unlock the boot loader
follow instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794800
generally when you unlock the boot loader and install a custom rom, it comes with root so rooting is not required.
when your done reply back to me
Thanks for the info. I was going to unlock the bootloader via the link, but I was wondering:
If I unlock the bootloader, will it delete all my SD data/format SD? I really don't want to lose my SD data

sorry but when you unlock the bootloader, the sd card must be wiped not matter how you do it.
You can take out the sd card when you unlock the bootloader, that might work.

I just unlocked my Arc bootloader without the sd card and it worked!
Now I'm wondering what the next step is before I can install the Ultimate rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207)
Is it possible to go straight from unlocked Gingerbread to an ICS based rom? Can I now just put the rom zip on my sd and install via CWM?
Or do I need to do something with a Kernel or something first?

nope you need a ics based kernel, usually the rom includes the kernel, but not always, I don't have an arc so I can't recommend what kernel you should use. Anyway, it seems that there is kernel included. You will need this flash tool if you don't have it already
http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1359317663000
here are the instructions
click the lightning icon,
plug in you device into fastboot mode
click fastboot mode and okay
click select kernel to flash
choose you img file
and reboot
some points to remember.
flashing will wipe your all your app data but won't touch any pictures or movie files; always make a nandriod backup
remember to wipe data/ factory reset before flashing
wiping cache and davik cache won't hurt either
click thanks if helped

yes you can flash any kernel even if your rom is not compatible with it, you just won't be able to boot up if you have a ics kernel and a gingerbread rom, however you will just need to flash the ics rom to get it working.
oh and remember that many kernels require you to flash modules in order to get things like wifi

you can boot the phone normally but you will be able to boot to recovery, press volume down and the power button.
for wifi modlues, just flash it like a rom, but remember to flash it after flashing the rom.

Oh okay. Does the (Arcknight) kernel already incluid CWM? Or do I have to install CWM before flashing? Because when I flash the kernel, it's a factory reset so CWM will be deleted, right?
Also, can I take out the sd card before flashing the kernel to make 100% sure my data wont be lost?

nope the cwm (or twrp) is part of the kernel so doing a factory reset will not delete it.
In fact do you the wiping with cwm.
And yes the kernel already has the cwm.
