[Q] Few question about flashing rom - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694142(the URL address for the rom I want to flash in)
Here I want to flash this rom which call insertcoin m7 rom maybe, I have never flash any rom before,but I know how to fix the brick phone.(because of the system update make my phone brick, also I know how to flash rom.)
Ok here is the questions
1.is there any possibility to brick the phone when flashing this rom, and is there any problem that happen and cannot fix by ourself and must sent to repair?
2what kind of important function does not work(such as vibrate, notification,signal etc)(in that articles just said the htc blablabla special function won't work... and the something i don't know)
3. Is this rom stability as good as original rom or CyanogenMod or other rom.
is there any rom interface like sence 6?

You're trying to flash this rom on the nexus 5? If so there is a good chance you'll brick the device. Only flash roms for your specific device

thats a HTC One rom. it is not for the nexus 5 and will brick your device if you flash it.
please stick to nexus 5 roms only. (assuming you have a nexus 5 and not a HTC one)

Forget sticking to any roms right now. Get reading stickies

With the official update you would lose root. As soon as source is available one of the fine developers will more than likely have it ported and rooted for us to enjoy. Just give the sdk a try. You can always flash back to your previous rom

no developer is needed to root ics simple flash the latest superuser from androidsu.com and enjoy
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
If you flash the latest Nexus S ICS SDK port from Drew Garen, you will not lose root or relock your bootloader. ICS beta 3 and forward comes rooted (with superuser).
Go for it, ICS is a blast, and the port is surprisingly usable. Beta 5 should be out tonight so you could wait and flash that.
already flashed that enjoyed it but i unrooted my phone and lcoked my bootloader going to wait for ics to come out then i will root
How do you unroot and really lock the bootloader? Does it flash the stock rom to? .

just flash a stock rom
Problem with Whatsapp
Hi,
I tried ICS beta 4 which is very nice. But i faced a problem with Whatsapp.
No contacts appeared.
Any idea to resolve it ??
But in general I found it very nice.

Saydo0o
another problem
Hi,
Another Problem that I faced in that ROM is on the Exchange emails.
I could not configure my exchange email.
It seems that this is the same problem that I faced on my Galaxy tab 10.1
Even the problem of Watsapp is the same.
Regards,
Saydo0o
Are there any floating around, I made the mistake of not backing up my stock rom.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
@saydo0o just wait for beta 5 to be released or wipe dalvik cache
@BigD18t go to the nexus sub forum and go to nexus s developement and find a stock 2.3.6 and flash though recovery

[Q] New to HTC family, Help me please..

Hello,
i just bought up this -
HTC One S this week.. its nice phone..
well, have some issues like: battery and admin access..
so can anyone first clear me if i root or change ROM of this phone will i be able to restore them all so i can avail its warranty in need ?
2nd) How to root this phone , perfectly without any issue.? what will be access + profit i will have if i root this device ?
3rd) How to increase its battery life ?
4) how are ROMs helpful to this phone ? and how to use custom ROM on this phone ???
Waiting for some help..
this is the guide i recommend for rooting your one s http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
a custom rom (i recommend either trickdroid or AOKP Jelly Bean) will increase your battery life (most of the time, depends on the rom and the ones i recommended will do just that) and give you more customization options and give you more control of your device.
and if a warranty use is required, you can always flash back to the stock rom and re lock your bootloader
it's as simple as that

hmmm thanks
i will go through it
also, can you just tell me what all other roms are for ? like the one you gave me is for battery life what else options are there ?
and how i can take backup of original rom and bootloader in case i face issue ?
well, i was installing SuperSU but it says-
"There is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem !"
what next ? i am jammed at step 1.
which supersu file are you trying to install? cause you need to grab the proper one. and as for what each rom does. you'll just have to browse the development section of the forums and see what's out there. or you could just flash carelessly and see which one fits you best. that's kind of what i did

hey man !
u said that it can be fixed as original.. ?
but here on HTC page it says after unlocking bootlocker-
"
Step 14
To re-lock your bootloader, in the command prompt, type: fastboot oem lock.
Note: This will not restore the factory default lock, but will simply re-lock the bootloader so no further changes can be made. Furthermore, if you want to unlock your bootloader again, simply repeat step 12 with your original unlock key file to unlock your phone again.
"
That means it will not be available for warranty ???
as i broked its seal ? am i right ?
please explain.. that how i can make my phone back to available for warranty ?
help me please ! stucked at bad point !!!
i am stuck badly now !!!
i tried recovery of various roms available on all threads but nothing worked for me !!!
Then i tried to restore back to stock ROM so i don't see HTC warning while using recovery mode but no help ! no ROM is now fitting in it..

Your area seems to have received the s3 version ....you will need to remember this when flashing roms ...

Just browse the Android development section, there are both ROMs and kernels. Pick a ROM you like, and flash it. Most come with their own kernel, but some (Sense ICS ROMs) have a couple of different alternatives.

Are you wiping data when you flash the rom?
If you don't have any important stuff on your phone, I would just flash the factory images and start over with the rom process.

It never hurts to ask though. Maybe he did something different and bypassed something. You never know. You got to have the whole story. :sly:

When you flash the ROM it also flashes the kernel that comes with it.
So if you are using Mahdi ROM then everything is ok but if you try a different ROM you get the error constantly?
using the ClockworkMod recovery.
If you receive issues on flashing, double check your download. If nothing, I suggest using the ClockworkMod recovery.

The type of recovery you use will have no bearing on it, hundreds of people on here use twrp and cwm.
All I can suggest and it was suggested before is to wipe your phone completely and start over again. Something went wrong, clearly.

Well if you want to troubleshoot it I would start by flashing my ruu that's posted. See if you get 4g on your phone with that.

I just now am getting familiar with what an RUU is and from my understanding so far there's 2 types? 1. radio upgrade unit & 2. rom upgrade utility. Which is yours? I'm not really looking forward to flashing roms atm, just looking for something quick like flashing some firmware that doesn't overwrite my entire system partition 'IF' possible. If not then am I stuck with flashing what appears to be a new rom? Or do I have another option? Thanks for reply!
Edit: Also I forgot to include that I'm S-OFF with bootloader unlocked & permanent root w TWRP recovery, would this act like one of Samsungs crappy OTA's and re-lock my phone IF it was the ROM thing I mentioned above rather than just Radio Firmware?

And ruu is an ruu. It is both the stock rom and firmware included. There are reset parameters that a factory reset on stock recovery can do that twrp etc are not.
This will not affect your lock or s off status and it's pre rooted. Also, there's not really "permanent root" on any phone. More so with s off you have the ability to flash su and root.
