So I have Di11i's 5.6 ROM (I love it!) and v6 is out. I want to update to it but I am not sure how to, someone I know rooted my phone for me and installed the ROM. Is this the same process as say putting a theme on where I reboot to recovery and install it via a Zip? Also, Di11i has his new kernel in his ROM and I would like to install that, too. When I flash the update will it just install his kernel over the one I currently have? I have the speedmod one currently. Thanks!
The answer is, yes, and yes. Make sure you download the non oc version of v 6. That had the dill pickle kernel in it. Place in internal sd, long press power, select recovery, install zip from sd, choose zip, v6, confirm.
I believe it is a wipe update so backup everything you want so that you can restore, only restore user apps
Cool, just ran it and it's working. Thanks, man!
Everytime I try and restore a backup from cwm the phone reboots to the first mytouch boot screen and just stays there. Is there something I'm missing on how to restore a backup? I'm using cwm 3.0.0.5, I make a backup, then when I want to restore it, I wipe data and cache and hit restore backup. Once it's finished, I reboot the phone, then it just sits on the boot screen until I eventually decide to pull the battery.

Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 will work only with 2.3 (gingerbread ROMs).
Since the stock ROM is 2.2.1 you need to use recovery image 2.x.
you are in luck though. re-Flash CM7 download Clockwork ROM Manager scroll to the bottom "All clockwork recoveries" and flash the highest 2.x version they have. Then you can restore your back up without problems.
Thanks, I actually found that exact answer about 10 minutes after I posted this. I did just that, flashed cm7 then flashed cwm 2.x. I wanted to try cm7 anyway, but after an hour just trying to get the market to work, I decided to just go back to good old iced glacier.

I bet you didn't flash gapps or the newer version of it. That's why you couldn't get the market to work.

I have no idea what I did, but eventually I got it all worked out. I'm now a very happy cm7 rc1 user with a 1.84GHz smartass kernel.

Glad it worked out for you, but you (and others who may have this problem) could save yourselves a lot of this by downloading TrueBlue's zip (from development sub-forum) and flash it. It has cwm 3.0.0.6 plus stock TMO recovery.
With CM 3.0.0.6 recovery (thanks to Option94 for that), you can backup/restore both Android 2.2.x (CM6) and 2.3.x (CM7). TrueBlue's thread OP gives you instructions on how to use it.
It is a modified ROM Manager that "disguises" cwm's 3.0.0.6 and the stock Recovery as cwm 3.0.0.5 and 2.5.1.4 respectively.
PS - if you use it - don't forget to "thank" him (and Option94 also).
UPdate - if you subsequently update ROM Manager, it does not wipe out the above scheme with the disguised cwm's - it still works the same (at least through ROM Manager 3.0.1.0).

Ignore all those BS. Go in Market and download Rom Manager 3.0.1.0 and then flash the latest 3.0.0.5 (orange) recovery image. Then place the GAPP anywhere in your SDCard long as you know where it is. Reboot it in to recovery but selecting it from Rom Manager and then when its booted select Install zip from SDCard> Choose zip from SDCard.
Flash the GApp.zip and be done. Just remember when you flash NB via full wipe you have to flash GApp.zip everytime but if you just mount new NB on top of old one then DO NOT flash GApp.zip again as it will still be on your device as it ment to be installed once in that case.

No you didn't do what I said then. Go to Market> Rom Manager (3.0.1.0)> Download/Install. Then run Rom Manager and flash 3.0.0.5(latest not 2.5.1.2/2.5.1.4). If you use 3.0.0.5 you don't have to worry about 3.x(orange) or 2.x(green) as you can run 2.2/2.3 based without changing it.
3.0.0.5 < not Rom Manager its Recovery.
3.0.1.0 < ver of Rom Manager with 3.0.0.5 Recovery frame.
Problem is for people who don't know it get confusing as 3.0.0.5 could mean Recovery and Rom Manager. As normally other software specify and have different type of scheme for framework and software but in this case they both share same number so it gets little confusing.
ok i installed 3.0.1.0 rom manager from market so now i should have no issues when restoring 2.2.1 roms or 2.3 roms?thanks for the help man im coming from a Vibrant that was lost/stolen..that vibrant was so easy to root lol.thanks again

Well if you flashed 3.0.0.5 Recovery then no you won't have to worry about Green(2.x EXT3) or Orange(3.x EXT4) as you can flash both.
Hello All,
I need your help regarding upgrade my captivate which is running on 2.1. I had hard bricked it once before when I was trying to update it via odin. Just got fixed it back from mobiletechvideos.com. Now I want to upgrade it to gingerbread Can anyone tell me any stable rom which I can upgrade safely and have 0% chance to hard bricked it again. Or any rom which I can flash via any other tool not via odin as I thought last bricked was caused due to odin. Pls help me.
I like the MIUI rom but I saw that it use ODIN so I am a bit afread to try it
Thanks
My understanding of the process.
I'm fairly sure you need to use superoneclick to root, that's step one. Next go to market and dowload ROM manager and install it, that's step two.Step three, flash clockworkmod recovery with ROM manager. Choose captivateMTD and let it flash. Step four, now go to the download ROM and choose an MTD ROM. I reccomend cyanogenmod as its aosp, overclocked and generally awesome. They have a stable build that's a great dd. Step five is to flash it. When the download completes it will promt you to wipe data and cache, clear everything and hit go. Step six would be to dl and flash gapps with ROM manager. Wipe cache and install. After all this you should be on cm7 stable. Pm me if you need help. I have the drivers and all files you could possibly need in my dropbox account.
Good luck and enjoy cyanogenmod.

You do not need to root your phone to install a custom rom.
If you currently are on 2.1, boot into recovery and flash this zip file.
From here you can go about installing a gingerbread kernel and rom.
If you are unsure of the process, please do lots more research before you go flashing anything. If you brick again it's not my fault.

Step One: Root Done
Step Two: ROM manager installation Done
Step Three: flash clockworkmod recovery with ROM manager (When I clicked on it asked me that confirm phone model and when I clicked on samsung captivate MDT it said that clockworkmod not officially supported the captivate MDT and have you installed clockworkmod based recovery manually if I clicked on yes it proceed to the next screen and if I clicked no it said that without it rom manager will not work. If i clicked on yes it proceed to the next screen and asked me the clockworkmod version 2.x or 3.x. I select one of them and click on the install rom from SD card and then browse to my downloaded rom when I clicked on rom and it will ask me to backup exsisiting rom, wipe data and cache and wipe dalvik cache. I had selected last 2 options and clicked ok then it asked me to press ok to reboot into clockworkMod Recovery and continue the installation when I clicked ok and rebooted where it showing me 4 options: rebbot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data and delete cache data. After that I don't know what to do BTW I downloaded MIUI rom as I wana try it )
Any Help ?
Its sounds like you are in the stock recovery still. When you get to the screen with four options click reinstall packages and it should take you to clockwork recovery. The you will have many more options. You will want to go to install zip from SD card then choose zip from SD card and then navigate to your rom of choice and click it. Then it will go through the install process and when it is done hit reboot now and you should be running your custom rom.

Formay SYSTEM/CACHE/DATA/BOOT/DALVIK CACHE/SD CARD

Copy the official ICS ROM for I9020T to SD
Install zip from SD

Hi, I'm new to this forum (first post).
I had the same problem - e.g. I wanted to return to stock. I flashed ' PERI 1-click recovery' and the latest version of Revolver custom ROM for the TF101G but I couldn't get 3G to work (unknown Baseband), and PERI wouldn't let me flash the stock ROM - it gave an error 'assert failed' 'Status 7'.
Thought I'd b*****d it thoroughly and couldn't find a thread telling me how to get back to Stock, but trial and error prevailed.
This is what I did (assume you already have ROOT and a custom recovery installed):
1. Download the latest ASUS stock ROM zip from the ASUS site to the PC. Make sure you select the right one for your model (mine's the WW TF101G version)
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+TF101G&p=20&s=16
2. For some reason ASUS put the stock ROM zip image inside another zip file, so extract it from the downloaded zip file and copy the extracted stock ROM zip (e.g. WW_epad-user-9.2.2.6.zip) to TF101G Internal Storage (not an external SD)
3. The custom recovery you have installed my allow you to flash the stock ROM, in which case just do steps 7 and then 10 onwards. Mine (PERI) gave me an Assert Failed error, in which case ....
4. Download ClockWork Recovery for the Transformer. I used Clockwork_Recovery_5.8.1.8_by_JvS_Corp_V3 from this site and it worked just fine. I don't know which other versions work and which don't:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577929
5. Copy the downloaded Clockwork_Recovery_5.8.1.8_by_JvS_Corp_V3.zip to TF101G Internal Storage (not external SD)
6. Now boot the TF101G into recovery mode (Power + Volume Down until prompt appears, then Volume Up for recovery)
7. Wipe all caches (including the user data cache)
8. Flash Clockwork_Recovery_5.8.1.8_by_JvS_Corp_V3.zip - you'll see lots of scrolling @@@@@@@s, don't worry that's normal
9. Once the Install is complete, Boot into recovery mode again - you should now be in Clockwork Recovery V5.8.1.8
10. Flash the stock ROM (e.g. WW_epad-user-9.2.2.6.zip). Wait until the install is complete.
11. Reboot normally. You will see a blue status bar which will take a while to complete and then it will reboot itself, you may see a message 'Android is Updating' which will also take a while to complete.
After doing this, you should now have the stock ROM, stock recovery, no ROOT and you will be asked to set up the Tablet for the first time, i.e. back to stock.
P.S. If you don't wipe the User Data cache, you can flash to stock without using your apps / settings / data.
Hope this helps.
i dont understand. If youre going to sell the tf101 why not load it up with custom overclockable kernel, new JB rom, and a custom touch recovery? those are added features compared to a lame stock version of the transformer.

because it doesn't exist a JB ROM with 3G working, and usually, when i'll sell something, i prefer selling with the stock image, it's more guarantee that will work properly, like when leaving the store, so they can root and change roms themselves.

In my post, where I said "P.S. If you don't wipe the User Data cache, you can flash to stock without using your apps / settings / data", I meant "...without losing your apps / settings / data". That way you can carry on using it until you sell it, and then just do a factory reset once you have a buyer.
Good luck.
