I am not a complete noob, as I have changed boot animations on many droid devices, but for some reason I can not figure how to change the boot ani on my note 2 or s3. I have tried every single way on the internet multiple times. for some reason just cant get it. if someone could tell me if it is possible on the Verizon versions of these phones. both are rooted with boot loaders installed. stock rom though. maybe have to install custom rom, I am not sure though. any help is appreciated. thanks

First of all i'd like to thank anyone who takes time to answer this because this has been driving me nuts for the past 2 days.
Now that thats out of the way; I have a Droid 2 and i'd consider myself a noob with this phone. I rooted the phone yesterday and had problems with ROM manager flashing cwm 2.5.0.8, so what i did was downloaded cwm3 off the internet and moved it onto my SD, renamed cwm3 to 2.5.0.8 and all of a sudden my recovery system works. Once i got that all taken care of i began messing with ROMs. My brother put the beta version of tanzanite on and bricked my phone, i fixed that. Once i got rid of tanzanite i tried using gingerblur 1.3 and got stuck in a bootloop. Right now im in the process of trying to use gummyjar 2.5. More so to the point, what my main question is, is since i'm using clockworkmod 3 would that restrict my phone from being able to use any semi-older ROM versions such as the ones previously stated?
Again, thanks a bunch to anyone who can answer my retardedly long question
I have rooted an alltel motorola milestone x. From what ive read this is the same phone as droid x. ive tried several times to install roms from clockwork rom manager with no luck. phone just reboots and is back to normal. Should i be looking for milestone x specific roms or will droid x ones work. if i use one will it recognize alltel as my carrier or will it make my phone a big mp3 player
That your phone reboots to normal is an indication that no kind of installation took place.
At least your phone would NOT boot because you used an incorrect rom.
I'm note sure about droid x rom vs milestone rom, but did you check
this thread.
It has pretty clean guides.
There is also a subthread with steps for ROM installation that lists available custom ROMs.
Regarding your carrier i would make sure the rom you flash has a modem compatible with your carrier, i.e. right frequencies.
I want to be able to dual boot two roms on my ns4g. So it would allow me to run two separate roms on your device at one time.
I think I would need a Dual boot compatible kernel, is there on for the NS4g??
like the Epic 4g, check this post out to see what Im talkin about

as far as I know , only MI-one has 2 system.
and that's not possible to have boot menu for 2 system for the moment
Hey there,
I have an interesting problem, and it has completely stumped me for the past couple days. I recently S-Off'd my Sensation, put cwm recovery on it, and set my CID to 11111111.
I haven't had any problems with that (except that I had to change computers to do it, Revolution didn't want to run right on my laptop or set the CID, so I had to use my desktop).
Now the problem comes when I try to flash a custom ROM. The first one I tried flashing was CM7. When it booted, I got a bootloop problem of the CM7 mod logo over and over. I decided maybe it was a problem with CM7 still being in alpha. Then I tried flashing HyperSensation 1.8, and got the same error (bootloop) on the loading screen. After trying various other ROMS, I realized that it was a common problem with all custom ROMS. Luckily I had backed up the stock setup, and was able to get into that. So it's not a problem with the hardware. I have only tried flashing gingerbread ROMS. I know that ICS ROMS need a new firmware, but I dont want to mess with that unless I can actually get a gingerbread ROM working first...
Any ideas? There was a thread or two about this (on other phones) but didn't have any solutions listed..
Thanks for any ideas people can give me!

Hi,
Did you root your phone?
Did you flash the superwipe zip first?
Also are you getting full reboots with HTC splash screen then animation or just the animation looping? Sometimes I have to let mine loop for 5 minutes after first boot of new rom before it settles.

I guess I hadn't done everything.. I didn't factory reset before flashing the new ROM... As soon as I did that it boot right in. That's a bit odd to me, as I didn't have to do that with my last phone.
Anywho, solved.

I got my one SV k2_cl from boost a little over a month ago and got the bootloader unlocked and rooted, working fine until one morning it wouldn'tmake calls or texts. I tried to factory reset and when I tried to boot got stuck at the HTC logo. Took me 2 weeks to get it to even flash a Rom on here that will somewhat work. I've got WiFi and partial 3g 4g connectivity but no voice at all. When I try to use the phones its activation tool-error, tried manually programming phone- nothing. I'm stumped. Can someone please help me out here. Don't want to have to buy another phone if I can help it. The only guess I've got at the moment is that if I could get a stock original rom to flash I'd be good to go probably and just hold out on doing anything else to it until after the kitkat ota is launched. The few stock roms I've tried either wouldn't download for some reason or just won't flash right. Thanks in advance for any help guys. I've always been more of a hardware geek more so than software but I can usually muddle through following guides of course.
I'm not much into boost, but did you try to flash the available RUU?

As a matter of fact I have tried that and unfortunetly the installer locked up on a reboot of the phone because the phone wants to do the "Android is upgrading # of #" on every boot. That was why I was thinking since adb/fastboot and the HTC One Toolkit all sorta work that if I could get ahold of a working stock rom to flash on there and I have a stock CWM backup still on my laptop from when I first got the phone rooted and everything working. But of course thanks for the tip anyway. I wish that would work. It seems to be the easiest way to install back to stock.
