Inspire 4G and the cyanogenmod (questions)

Im new to the android community and phones. I bought an Inspire with gingerbread (2.3.3) and would like to add cyanogenmod to it but the tutorials look so "harmfull" they scare me away so i have some question.
Can i downgrade from 2.3 to android v1?
Have anyone here rooted and flashed the same phone I have?
What is "radio? Can I change it to another one? how can I tell if it will work with my carrier?

please, please, please. READ
these questions you are asking concern me
1. you dont downgrade to v1....because it doesnt exist
2. we all have the same phone as you, otherwise we wouldnt have an inspire section
3. there is an entire thread dedicated to this very subject....look in the dev section.
there are easy to follow guides, tutorials, and walkthroughs here, but you have to READ...there is ZERO excuse for not reading and comprehending this stuff. if it is too much for you, you should NOT be doing any of it, and leave your phone stock

This is why I said..im NEW with this... none of what you helped in some way.

then you have some READING to do. nobody here is going to hold your hand.
ALL the information you seek is already here, but you have to READ
Sorry if all you want is someone to hold your hand and spoonfeed information to you
NEW or not, it doesnt matter. I was NEW to this phone when i got it. I READ, the same way i have done with all my other phones. I READ to understand what i am doing and how to do it.
heres the first thing you should have read when you came to the inspire boards:

this question has come up several times in the last month. yes it works just fine

Hi, i just rotted the unit and everything was fine
So i decided to use, cyanogenmod, it installed
now i can make calls but it does not connect to the data network portion.
Any ideas?
I noticed the radio baseband is slighly different than the original. could it be?

Sorry. was quick. i entered the APN settings and it is now connecting.. just Edge....before (stock rom) i had "H" (guessing is 3G). Now it only connects to E (edge i assume).
The weird thing is that before whenever i was in an area with only edge It would not allow me to browse but now I can.
any idea jedi master?

you can try a different radio. look at the radio thread in the dev section

Sorry to bother you so much. I was able to solve the radio issue. Now, since the market app wasn't included i followed the guide on how to install gapps but after doing so i can't get pass the boot screen "touch the android to begin".
I try to wipe and reflash but still does not let me do it. Any ideas?

did you touch the android to begin?

Yes, sir. But it will still restart.
i try to wipe data and restart the process but same thing happens.
Tried taping the four corners and an still happening.
Someone said the the gapps file might be corrupted.
Right now cyanogenmod is a pain. is there a way to install another room or the stock one through recovery?
Thanks for all your help!

go to mounts and storage
mount usb storage
on your computer, copy the rom zip onto the phone
back,
install zip file from sdcard
browse to rom zip
confirm flash

Thank you. I am downloading RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe.... is this the correct stock?
Does it have to be on ZIP? if so, where can i find stock roms?

no. this will leave you an unrooted stock rom
why dont you browse the dev forum here and look at all the ROM offerings?

I think i will just go with the stock one and the do the same procedure (using the hack kit and just leave it stock rooted....
would that be ok?

Accidentally deleted data folder

Hello,
Couldn't find any solution in the forum.
My friend accidentally deleted data folder on sd card on his HTC Incredible. Now his phone is not going to boot at all. Are there easy ways to resolve this?
I have a little experience in rooting, flashing roms on my Desire Z. But feeling a bit scary to perform this with another phone.
Would appreciate any help.
UPDATE : I asked him again, now I'm not sure what exactly he has deleted. He is far from IT person, and unlikely that he has rooted phone or made something like that, that is why I guessed that he just deleted something from sd card. Let me try to explain behaviour of the phone:
When the phone is starting to boot, it at first shows htc screen, then screens on the pictures, then phone just freezes.
Holding Volume Down button with Power button allows to see menu, but then trying to boot recovery or just boot makes same thing as above, Trying to make Factory reset just freezes phone on the menu window.
ANY GUESS WHAT IT MIGHT BE? OR WHAT IS THE BEST THING I CAN DO?
UPD2: My friend deleted some apps (processes with names starting com...) from All applications menu in Settings in HTC Sense.

If he has a recent Nandroid backup then he can just flash that and let it rebuild what it needs to. Otherwise you can S-Off and root his phone, then install a custom or stock ROM as you like.
You will find more help in the HTC Incredible or HTC Incredible S forums, depending on exactly what model phone your friend has.

I think deleting any folder on sd card never cause this type of serious problem...
Unless and unless you screw in system files or boot files of your device this happens..
And as we all know that all these critical files stored in device memory so deleting anything on memory card never do this..
Just inquire him he must screwed up something in root directory of device..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

maybe your friend deletes data folder in which is in the internal storage.
maybo you can access you phone after a full wipe.

My suggestion is to restore with a NANDROID or flash a ROM.

Just full wipe! The data partition doesn't affect the rom, because rom is in system partition. The only problems are mismatches of data. Full wipe to assure the system "knows about your forced data wipe".

just updated the post
Thanks for reply to everyone!
I've updated the post. You can find more details now. I cannot perform anything because I cannot boot anything.
Hope you can help, will wait for your kind replies before making any radical steps.

In that case, I would recommend flashing your kernel anew.
If it doesn't help, you could try to flash a stock firmware. If this didn't help, I would probably visit a repair shop.
Hope it helped, best of luck

As I wrote I cannot boot into recovery.
Can I flash kernel or rom using my laptop if the phone is not going to boot into recovery mode?
Repair shop is asking too much. I want to know could I do it by myself, with your help, of course.

Now that clarified it all. Of course you can flash it anew... Even in the worst situation your phone could be in, you can always flash kernels and firmwares!!!

Assuming the rooting process is same or simillar to Desire HD u could use hack ace tool to downgrade to stock rom, root and install cwm recovery.
After that you can flash any custom rom.
You can find a third party site link in this thread (marvin02's post):

In what way? or what link?

I just gave you a link to the thread and which user posted the link in that thread "to this".
Just go there, follow ALL,the instructions and you'll be flashing a fresh custom rom in no time.

You need to clarify the model. Is it Incredible or Incredible S?
In case of Incredible S, look here:http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f475/medusa-box-flasher-v1-0-6-more-htc-via-usb-added-1469331/ Try in both cases, there's nothing you can lose!

Rooted and Unlocked

Basically I am happy with the stock ROM but would like to get rid of the "fluff" that's there. Also want to theme I think. Anyway, What should I be looking for if I do the ROM? I am a 3 year past user of iPhone and had it jailbroke, so now I am reading and learning about Android.
The things that really matter to me are:
GPS applications
Photo Applications
Organization without the bloat
Any advice?

Clean Rom
Thanks everyone. Sounds like that would be a good one for me but I will do some research on it first though. A few questions though, on the iPhone JB's it is pretty much a one click affair with the addition of tweaking and daemon removals for speed and such. How does one mount the ROM, do I navigate to a folder and drag it in (PC) or? BTW I am doing the research on this.
Also, how do I tell whether I have twrp recovery or CMW?

It takes a while to read through all the steps, and don't forget the backup steps at the top before section 1.

Well for beginners you picked the right Device, and welcome to the good side.
Recoveries are kinda user preference. TWRP is touch screen / CWM is button operated. Both work good.
You know what recovery your on but the one you flash.
Do alot of reading and Enjoy !

Reading through this guide I think I understand that you must update SuperUser before proceeding. If that's true where in the app is there an option to do so? I sure don't see it playing with the menus.

Also get familiar with how to put your phone in download mode and use Odin to restore to stock just in case something should go wrong and turn your phone into a paperweight.

I am reading about Odin as we type. Lots to remember on Android. Wish there was a one click for all this...lol, but I will learn I suppose/hope. I like that the Clean Rom keeps the stock ROM for now. I think that will help me understand what a ROM accomplishes.

Its preety easy once you use it a few times. To restore just have the factory image. And choose it on the PDA option in Odin and flash away!!! No more annoying iTunes errors when trying to mess with a jail broken iPhone or when trying to downgrade it. I do miss many of the games though

One clicks are great until something goes wrong. And when something inevitabley does go wrong you are up a Creek without a paddle since you have no idea quite exactly what the one click did.
Look at droidstyles guide. That will teach you how to do essentially everything with this phone. Just make sure you always verify that anything you flash is for the USA gs3 Verizon.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium

Do your reading and read everything twice! Make sure you unlock your bootloader, and verify that you only flash files for the Verizon version of the phone!
Rooting is similar in some ways to Jailbreaking, but gives you significant more control. Rooting is simple, but it is only the first step if you want to flash custom ROMs, kernels, themes, etc.
Once you flash a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) and start flashing things through Recovery, you are doing way more than you ever did with Jailbreak.

I already have ROM manager on my phone. Today I ready about and installed Titanium Backup Pro. I've been getting rid of bloatware with it and doing back ups. Don't Rom Manager and Titanium Backup do essentially the same thing?
What do you do with "kernels" anyway?

[Q] help plz...been trying for hours. :(

My phone
sg3 i535
Verizon
4.4.2
NE1
Kernel version 3.4.0
I've tried rooting it, installing the cwm recovery, and CM11....I booted into recover and did all the resetting and wiping etc but when I go to install cm11, it fails and I have to reset from the loader (vol down, home pwr) or it hangs and tells me to take the phone to a Verizon wireless store because of illegal software.
What am I doing wrong?
From the beginning, assuming I have nothing installed (root/cwm ect)
What do I do first?

It sounds like the aboot isn't loading properly. Start from scratch again and use Casual and make sure the aboot takes.

You can only root VRUDNE1 using Towelroot. You can only install SafeStrap which only let you run other VRUDNE1 based TouchWiz roms. No AOSP roms. No CWM or TWRP. No custom kernels. Just custom roms based off of the 4.4.2 VRUDNE1 OTA. Here's a guide for more specific info.

Way to help by telling him something that is 100% incorrect and may lead to him bricking his phone. Casual does not work on 4.4.2 NE1, only towelroot works. Hell, the title of the Casual thread even reads "Up to MF1." Let the people who know what they are talking about help this guy.

I tip my hat to you and @SlimSnoopOS for continuing to help everyone, and I do mean everyone. I am still more than willing to help the people who have done their homework but for whatever reason just seem to be struggling or don't quite grasp it all. Those who haven't done any reading or research are on their own. I know I should be nicer and help everyone, and I did it for years. But if people are not willing to put forth a little effort to read and research on their own why should I put forth any effort?

Right back at you. You may think you learned a lot from SlimSnoopOS, BadUsername, and me. But the truth is we all learn from each other. I have learned so much from reading posts by the three of you and from chatting back and forth with the three of you. I, like you, did nothing but read until my eyes hurt before I did anything to the first phone I rooted - a Samsung Fascinate. Pretty much anyone can root their phone if they are given detailed, step-by-step instructions. But if you don't understand what you did after you followed those instructions, did they really do you any good?

I have learned so much from reading posts by the three of you and from chatting back and forth with the three of you. I, like you, did nothing but read until my eyes hurt before I did anything to the first phone I rooted - a Samsung Fascinate. Pretty much anyone can root their phone if they are given detailed, step-by-step instructions. But if you don't understand what you did after you followed those instructions, did they really do you any good?

@coryj8915 it's merely because you don't have 10 or more Posts

So of i dont have anything else to post on? I mean I guess I understand why it maybe that way, but I've no need to make 7 more Posts and just would like to get a fix or a direction and have other people with the same problem potentially find a problem as well.

Hey I love this rom!, But i'm experiencing the camera being in an oval shape in 3rd party apps (kik,snapchat,etc) Could you patch this? Or is it un patchable?

Haptic level
Hi, I just upgraded to the 4.4 SCH i535 miui rom and can't find the option to decrease vibration strength for haptic. It used to be in the settings under advanced, but it's not there anymore, only the option to turn it on or off via sound menu. Is there another way to do this, or a WSM module? I've looked everywhere and can't find anything on this particular rom. Thanks!

Has anyone had issues with the alarm app force closing when trying to change alarm frequency in the latest update?

Wanted to try something else for a change on my S III and I am getting insufficient storage when installing certain root apps. Anyone know a fix for this?

Do you have any excess backups on your phone? I've used miui without any storage issues

Installed rom / Pico PA gapps / SuperSU and when I wanted to redownload apps from Google ( not restoring data ) just says insufficient space

And my internal still has 14 gigs open so super fresh install ( I did a full clean wipe. )

Seems like this is a known issue with the S3, did some digging and found a lot of information on xda as well as around the web. Unsure what the best bet is

Device Control in play store or KTweaker app either one will do the job

Not sure if this works in MIUI as I haven't ran this in a couple weeks. It was a nice rom though, I always did like MIUI especially the specialty MIUI built in apps..
Anyway, Device Control I'm 90 percent certain lets you adjust haptic feedback. I usually set mine to around 10 percent. The test button never works for me but when you hit okay, you can feel the difference.. There's a ton of other cool settings in there too. And it's free.
Also, if you use the KToonz Kernel, the KTweaker app also has the option somewhere in there to adjust the haptic feedback.
Hope this helps I know I may be late to the table, but maybe someone can make use of this information.

Corrupt KT747 Kernel
Greetings all. I was directed to this thread by the developer. So heres my issue:
I'm on SGS3 vzw. I installed MIUI 4.8.22 using TWRP (newest version). I cleared delvik, cache, factory reset thrice, flashed MIUI, then flashed gapps, then I flashed the cdma fix (I assumed that I needed it). I am unable to start a Xiomi cloud account and when I tried to flash the KT aosp 4.4.4 kernel, I got a "file corrupted" message. Is there an updated KT747 somewhere, or am I trying to install the wrong kernel or what? I would appreciate any help on the matter....BTW.....I really like the look of MIUI. I may keep it!

What Baseband to use?
I have a verizon SCH-I535 currently using VRUCML1 Baseband, running Android 4.4.4 and the phone is unlocked. Is there a newer baseband for this phone or should I continue using the currrent baseband? I haven't really found any topics that answer my question.
Thank You

Baseband/radio/modem are all the same thing pretty much. You can update the modem to NE1 without any issues. I also have a unlocked S3
