How to make it a flashable rom? - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Hi,
Anyone knows IF this is a rom and HOW to flash it?
It is a .tar.gz and not a .zip.
Greets Kees.

Well I can see pretty much nothing form this pic, but basicly crc's in htc dev are kernel source codes, so you can't flash this.
This also can be a ruu, really give a link and some explenation of what you want to do.

Does anyone have a backup of the stock rom?

I flashed a rom onto my epad and it was the first time i flashed anything and i did not make a backup of stock rom...my fault wasn't paying attention whats the best way to get a copy of stock rom?
Bump I would like this to. no stock rom in the dev section or anywhere online
Your not giving much information about exactly what your looking for... but here's a thread about stock 3.1 rom...(found by a simple search of the site)
If you can flash back to 3.1 you can always got to Asus site and get 3.2 rom to update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133014
Asus
http://usa.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Sorry its the us version 8.5.6.5 3.2hc
ftp://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/
on this ftp site you can find the stock roms. i didn't try it so far but in the "TF101" folder you can find "UpdateLauncher_WW_epaduserV8_6_5_7.zip" (it's HC 3.2) also the other ones like DE for German and US and other. Hope it helps.
There are some guides in this forum how to unroot and flash a stock rom. just saerch for it.
EDIT: I'Ve found this threads

or this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093403&highlight=unroot (just use the .zip u download at the asus ftp site instead of the one mentioned in this post to unroot and go back to stock HC 3.2)

[Q] Modify Meta-INF for boot on RZR Recovery

Hey guys!
I am trying to make a modified custom ROM for the Samsung Galaxy W but I've hit a roadblock:
Our device uses raidzero's RZR Recovery and for some reason it errors out without installing. After talking to Raidzero over twitter I found out that I need to update the binary in the META-INF folder.
So my question is: How do I do that? It would be awesome if anyone could help me with this.
Thanks in advance,
K.
I'm not sure of the details, but it sounds like you need to update the file META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
You can probably grab it from another rom.
There will also be an file called updater-script- you might have to adjust that with a text editor, but maybe not? Again, look at another rom to gain some insight.
That's all I got... I don't even know what the Galaxy W looks like?

Just posting a comment to get this thread on a first page again . Somebody please advise this man !

Having some trouble finding a ROM

I am still on the stock 5.0 ROM and was looking to change it up. I have not been on Android since the original EVO 4G so I am a bit lost. I already have root and TWRP recovery on. I am looking for an optimized ROM that is close to stock. I have looked at LiquidSmooth but it looks like that is only 4.4 and I saw xtrasmooth but could not find the download link. Could someone provide a link to good stable ROM that is easy to flash? Also should gapps be flashed immediately after flashing the rom? Thanks in advance.

Every ROM is easy to flash. Just look in the Development or Original Development section, there's plenty to choose from. Also, the first posts usually state whether you need to flash Gapps or not.

I know how to flash, but I am just not sure which ROM to use. So many of them have a bunch of different acronyms in the title that I have absolutely no idea what they mean. Also some of them require you to also flash a kernel or a radio which would complicate things a bit further. Just looking for something that contains everything I need. Also for gapps, my question was if I should be flashing it immediately after flashing the ROM while still in recovery or if I should reboot first then go back into recovery?

Kernel or radio shouldn't be needed anywhere, maybe just in case of F2FS. There are many great ROMs to choose from, just pick one and try it out. Just be sure to read the OP. Also, you won't be able to boot into the system properly if Gapps are missing. Some ROMs have them included, others don't.

Thanks for your help. I have been looking at this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...v3-0-hammerhead-t2616300/page713#post58172446
In the title it states 4.4.4/5.0.2. What is meant by that? Which one is it? Is it as simple as booting into recovery, wiping all, flashing the ROM, flash gapps, and rebooting?

It's best if you read descriptions of roms at their thread. Also is good to read some feedback and reports by people who allready flash it. But the best way to figure it out, which rom is best for you, is to flash it by yourself.

I do read the descriptions, but there are some things that I don't understand being new. A lot of those threads already assume that you should know what these things mean. I couldn't figure out the liquidsmooth rom since it looks like they stopped development in December and the only gapps I found is for a different version. So I got kind of confused as to what I needed.

Understand that. But if you ask something like you, you will get a lot a different answers which can just confused you a little more. Also, you will get the answers by people who do not have same taste/expectations like you. So, best way is to figure it out by yourself.

I would suggest Cyanogenmod. Its very easy to install and very customizable, its close to stock as you wanted, there are stable versions and nightlies(can be unstable/bring small updates/improvements), cyanogenmod version 11 is based on kitkat,however cyanogenmod 12 stable version is in the works and it is based on lollipop, but there are nightlies out now.

Somewhat Obscure request?

I've been trying to find the correct firmware to put on my HTC Incredible 2 to run ICS or later ROMs like Chillybean's CM10 Unofficial, etc. Seems that anyone who posted links to that firmware used the same host, which is now down. Does anyone have a legitimate link to one of these firmware versions? (I need the whole thing I think, not just radios) File name, for reference is PG32IMG.zip (or should be when flashing in HBOOT)
Anyway, thanks for the help!

i put the fille name you provided in google and got this.
use at your own risk. i dont know anything about your device to know if this is the correct file you need, or to provide further help.
Thanks for googling that for me.
I'm looking for firmware for the vivow (Incredible 2), not the vivo (Incredible S). This is of course assuming they're not the same thing.
The links I was referring to were in this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846304
among others that use the same references.
The first firmware link refers to a rather large file that has a completely different checksum (so probably fake) and the second mirror link is broken.
This is really just a shot in the dark for someone from the original thread to still have, perhaps as a backup somewhere, a copy of the ICS firmware files.
All that said, I got the thing working without new firmware, just new radios, so maybe unnecessary?
Thanks for the assist!

You're not wrong. It seems that both phones use that same filename, for whatever reason. Not sure if that means the two phones' firmwares are interchangeable or not. Might be good to find that out actually...
Anyway, sorry if I offended you with that comment, and thanks for the replies.

i wasnt offended, i was merely pointing out that i found the file you asked for.
maybe the 2 devices can use the same file, i really dont know anything about the 2 devices to say, but there are some rare situations where it happens.
i wouldnt try it to find out, unless your in a position to buy a new phone. if you try and are wrong, usually, but not always, the device will be unfixable.
