No, I have not. I will do that first later today then the upgrade.

No problem
Use the 2.2.2/345 Recovery and it works

moving from 340 to 351
I didn't try for 345 but I was trying to upgrade 351 today got the following error.
"assert failed: !less_than_int(xxxxxxxxx,getprop("ro.build.date.utc")"
I think I used correct recovery from MRF..

Dont let the device reboot after flashing the necessary recovery .
Reboot will overwrite the recovery unless you do the following
You can also prevent the overwrite of the recovery by renaming the file install-recovery.sh to something else. It's in /system/etc. I just added.bak to the file name.
Hence the easy option is to pull battery .
THen go to recovery and flash 351

I have renamed install-recovery.sh and reinstalled the recovey but flashing still not working with the same error.

DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS PART: After the install of RomRacers recovery boot up your phone. Open up your favourite file browser (I used Astro file manager to do this ) and navigate to /system/etc/ and delete the file called 'install-recovery.sh'
Have you deleted the "install-recovery.sh"?
Try fastboot reboot bootloader after flashing recovery. If that doesn't work, then after flashing recovery, reboot and hold volume down while it reboots. Then navigate to recovery.

[SOLVED] How to flash Kernels

How would one go about flashing a kernel?
I tried looking at Xboarder's kernel guide, but it looks like the thread got deleted and I couldn't find a Kernel Flashing guide.
I tried flashing Faux's new kernel via 4ext and got the following:
E:error in /internal_sdcard/ruby-faux123-kernel-v002.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Tried doing it via Hasoon's toolkit. I downloaded the zip file, placed it in data/kernel and renamed it Boot.IMG
flashed and got the following:
C:\Users\Evan\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$EXa0.438\data>fastboot flash boot Ker
nels/boot.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'boot' (12353 KB)... OKAY [ 2.643s]

What am I doing wrong?
I'm S-off, with an unlocked bootloader and rooted running Speedrom 6.0.

The lines highlighted in red is probably what's wrong. You're running the batch file INSIDE the archive. Unzip/decompress it and then run it (in the uncompressed folder)

Oh, I see. How would I go about doing that?
I tried running it through the Easy Kernel Flasher. Extracted the Easy Kernel flasher to a folder in my desktop. Extracted the Faux's kernel files, put them in a folder, placed the folder in "Kernel here", renamed it boot.IMG. Clicked the flash.bat and got this.

Is there a file named just "boot" in the faux kernel zip file?
Put your phone in bootloader first then run the command again.
you should have no problem installing the zip through 4ext, could be a bad download? have you tried downloading again? and same error? I don't think any of the ICS kernels have a boot.img attached in the zip
Be careful flashing the kernel.

Now it all makes sense.
Sounds like a bad download.. 4ext should flash it fine. Try looking up status 7.. or update 4ext to latest version. But definitely download it again, using a different browser, or connection, something.. but everything I've seen says it is a bad download.
Another thing you can check is to be sure you downloaded the ICS kernel and not the GB one.
Turns out that the 4.ext version I had wasn't the latest. Made the update and flash was successful!
Thank you guys!
will flashing the kernel delete my data? should i backup first??

No and yes. Always have a good backup as it will backup kernel and everything. Make sure you're using 4ext, anything else probably wont work properly. Make sure you know what you're doing and you will be fine, check the bible in my signature if you aren't sure of anything.

Flashing different kernels
Is there some step I need to take before flashing different kernels? I ask because I was using stock and couldn't connect to Ford sync via Bluetooth, so I thought I'd try Faux123. Unfortunately using Faux123 my Plantronics BT headset wouldn't automatically connect any longer so I thought I'd go back to stock. Now, my WiFi won't connect at all. Searching brought up all kinds of threads on how to flash a kernel, but I didn't see anything that said that I needed to do something else before flashing a kernel. I flashed the stock kernel from the one posted in the 5th post of NRG's ROM thread. Any suggestions?

Stuck at HTC logo entering recovery

Hello guys,
I just rooted my HTC explorer for the first time. I was following this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415223
Everything was working fine until after installing the recovery.
After copying the superuser.zip to the SD and rebooting to bootloader menu, I click recovery and just get stuck on a HTC green logo.
If i take the battery out, I power back the phone and it works fine.
If i try to enter bootloader menu, and enter recovery, i get stuck again at that screen.
In the menu my phone appears as "unlock" so i supposes all steps before were fine..
If you guys could help it would be immensely appreciated!
apparently this is something that happened to many users but i couldn't find a straight answer on how to solve it!

goto fastboot and connect ur phone to USB
and flash it using command
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname
or alternatively if ur phone is running fine:
then install ROM Manager and from there u can flash recovery to ur mobile

Infocus IF9001 : Recovery

Hello there,
So I tried to flash my phone to install custom ROM now the phone is dead. Currently, it bootloops in Orange State and I'm just able to access fastboot.
I tried downloading stock ROM and installing but it seems that those are corrupted and aren't working. Lastly, I tried downloading TWRP and installing but it seems that there is no official release. I tried downloading one from a website and installing but it was of no help.

I'm out of ideas. Let me know if I'm wrong somewhere and if you guys have a twrp version that can run on this phone. Plus how to install it. It will be of great help if you guys can recommend a custom rom for this phone.
