Hey everyone. I can't post this in specific thread as i do not have enough posts. I am a noob to posting, but not coming here and rooting, installing roms. Been doing for the last 12 months.
Ok, my issue is this. I have rooted phone. I did full wipes and installed Miui Rom. Now i am stuck in bootloop. Re-installed stock rom, re-flashed kernal. re flashed Miui Rom, bootloop again. No matter what i do i get a bootloop. I can't stand the stock rom and really want Miui. Any ideas on what else i can do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ithehappy but i have done that also. Which is fine. I can get back to stock rom. However, i do not want stock rom.
Ok, so found a solution, with no thanks to the internet. If you have this issue then you can also try my fix. This will only work if you have a nandroid backup though.
So essentially i booted into recovery>full wipe>restored previous nandroid backup of Miui.> Reboot>once rebooted boot back into recovery>flash rom>Hey Presto!
Ok, so forgive me all for the next few posts. Apparently i cannot contribute to any Android development related posts until i have 10 posts under my belt. I am not a noob. I just never get around to posting and haven't been excited about helping with development until i got my GS2 and installed Miui. Have been coming to forums for 12 months. Anyway disclaimer out of the way.
Peace.

first of all hello to everyone, I am new to this site.
i came across this site since i have been searching for ROM developments to my phone.
i see this is a very comprehensive site with ALOT of information and i dont even know where to begin.
So i hope someone nice here will answer a few questions
First of all, is it worth upgrading to another ROM (one of these sticky threads ROM)
I've been looking at the Artemis but again im not sure what to choose.
Also no idea how to upgrade it and if anything goes wrong is it possible to backup the original ROM?
I like to upgrade since im not very fond of the original ROM, also a bit slow from time to time.
I am not a computer noob just very new to this. Hope someone will help or point me in the right direction.
hi there.
I whole heartedly recommend flashing a custom rom to your phone. I only flashed my first rom earlier this year. there are plenty of tutorials here on xda. this really is a great community.
search in the threads for MSkip's guide to flashing your first HD2 rom. Just always remember to read instructions thoroughly.
Roms are down to personal taste but I personally like the Energy series.
good luck.
I was afraid to, but now I'm glad I did (flashed like 5 times now, till found the ROM for me) Just remember to read all the ROM info and instructions carefully and for the love of God, have the proper Radio version for the ROM OR ELSE YOU WILL BRICK IT!
This is my first android phone. Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. I plan on rooting my phone tomorrow and I was wanting to put 2.2 firmware on the phone. I have been told that there are different roms and such and I was hoping someone here could tell me which is the best way to go about upgrading my phone. I tried reading some threads but I am not sure which is the best way to go. Any help would be appreciated.
If you've never rooted your phone and installed a custom ROM before... Read, read, read these forums and especially the thread for the ROM you are thinking of installing. Know how to get yourself out of a jam before you even get in it.

+1...This is what I followed when I flashed my wifes vibrant awhile back, and followed again just a few days ago when I picked mine up.
As for 2.2 ROMs...you will just have to play with them. I would recommend starting with flashable ROMs as they are a little easier to work with if you do not have a lot of experience with flashing
I might suggest this one if you want a no frills basic 2.2 stable, rooted ROM to work with

Thread cleaned. Stop the flaming.
Thanks for the replies! I will start off with that nice guide on how to root the phone. I get the phone tomorrow so hopefully I will not be in here crying about how I ruined my phone. The last phone I modded was the first gen iPhone a few years back. There are so many different things to read that this is a little confusing. I mostly created this thread to get pointed to what works best for those on this forum.
Hey guys, this is my first post, so correct me if im in the wrong place!
So i've had my Samsung galaxy SII (GT-I9100) for about 3 months now, and i only found out about root probably 1 week ago! haha
So i have rooted my Galaxy with CF-Root, off xwkk2 kernal (link below), on Gingerbread 2.3.6 and i was wondering what i should do with it? I have tried a few custom roms, none of which seem to want to stay working, so do you guys have any good ones i should check out?
Also, i was wondering if anyone can point me towards a list of all root apps, as i am interested in more than just Titanium Backup (AMAZING) and the like.
Oh, and if you guys could tell me both how to "Thank" someone on the forums, and even how to install anything you have suggested, i will love you forever
Thanks a lot guys,
Tangent5
Ps Thank you everyone on this site who has helped me with boot problems, and special thanks to Chainfire!

A google of "android root apps" gives numerous lists.
Without knowing which custom ROMs you've tried, why they didn't work for you and how you use your phone, it's very difficult to recommend you anything.
You rooted thanks to doing your research and reading here, the same method will help you with installation queries etc. Check the links in my sig.
This thread is a good one if you're wanting to freeze/remove 'bloat' from your phone (I recommend freezing rather than uninstalling outright) using Titanium.
thanks a lot guys! deleted loads of bloatware
Oh and i tried the resurrectionv1.0_remix, it was good, but it didnt come with CWM, so i have to unroot then re-root to get everything fixed, as all recovery i tried went mad
So is there any other roms? I've heard DARKYROM is good, but i cant seem to find the best place to dl, and i cant really be bothered if there are some you can recommend
thanks again, sorry but how do i thank you /give your post karma?
No. Many people don't do recommendations for roms/kernels (I don't anyways).
Because everyone's phone is setup differently, everyone uses their phone differently & phones come out of the factory slightly different component-wise. Chances are you wouldn't have the same experience of a rom or kernel than me for those reasons.
Given how easy it is to backup/restore with CWM, I recommend having a look at the threads devoted to different roms in the development forum, usually reading the first page & the last 10/20 will give you a fair guide to the features/pluses/minuses & other users experience with the rom/kernel.
Then try out as many roms as you need to until you find one you like.
Edit to add - Also, this thread is a great source of info for Aus SGS2 users.

best way to get to know your phone is break it few times lol
this is what i did in 1 - 2 months when i bought my SGS2
flash alot of things > play around with tweaks/mods > soft bricked it twice > settled down onto what i found to be best

In that case be aware that root custom roms or rom counter above zero void warranty .

hi i flashed my xperia ray with the ST18i_Official_4.0.4_Stock_ROM_RAY_jjdoctor i was on gingerbread 2.3.4 before and now i cant get past the cwm recovery screen it just keeps coming up and wont boot into the phone mode , any help wood be appreciated guys on what i have done wrong and hopefully i can rectify it
Can you please tell us in detail the steps you followed and what tools you used?
"I flashed it and it broke" is a bit hard to diagnose
1) I unlocked by bootloader by doing <thing you did>
2) I loaded flashtool and flashed <file X> I found <where'd you get file X>
3) Then I etc etc etc.
Then we can see if you missed a step, or did a step the wrong way around etc.
Cheers,
Tim
sorry lol was in a rush when typing this my bootloader was unlocked with the 2 probe method and wire and loaded the ST18i_Official_4.0.4_Stock_ROM_RAY_jjdoctor into the flashtool and just flashed , i got the file from the forums here i know i prob just done a stupid thing by flashing straight away but could really do with a step by step guide as im a noob at this kind of stuff or directed to a good guide , i also just restored the phone back to stock and its working again thanks to wotan client so i cant try again hopefully getting it right this time
right got it up and running with some messing about i managed to flash the xray kernel first then install the custom rom and works perfect only thing that didnt work was the phone data but will be sorting that out now or if anyone knows or had the same prob give me a hand lol

I got stuck a lot of times but i haven't asked about it... because I researched...
then when I get stuck, I repeat, get stuck again, revert then look for another process
It always pays to be prepared
Yeah yeah, everyone is new when we start modding their phones... but due to the age(relative) of the thread, there were already exchanges of questions and answers.
I bet you haven't heard or seen the help thread
Here's what I do EVERYTIME I do mods on my phone:
research (what files, how to do it, expected results)
research (fallback methods, including what others have done, read the threads/conversations/posts etc...)
yeah they do take a long time (2 weeks to 1 month)... then...
I executed the processes on my own, and boom! they WORKED
It pays to be prepared...
could you please ask you question at the Q&A thread and not open up a new thread every time you stumble upon a problem where your question may or may not be answered already?
Q&A for Lidenburg's Padfone 2 ROM [11.8.3.3-0]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for Lidenburg's Padfone 2 ROM [11.8.3.3-0].

Google services crashing on 11.8.3.3-0 ROM
Hello,
I tried flashing your 11.8.3.3-0 ROM from stock WW_11.8.4.23 and stock WW_11.8.3.3, but in both cases I end up with almost all Google services crashing the minute I got connected to the internet (Play Store, Hangouts, Calendar, etc.) . Of course, I tried about a hundred different ways to fix this, but finally went back to stock.
I think it has to do with all my data having been synced on newer versions of Google apps, so the most painless thing would be to make a new ROM using the newest (11.8.4.23) STOCK.
If you gave me a few starting tips, I would be willing to help.
Thanks.
Sorry for taking so long to respond, I didn't see until today that I had a PM from some bot telling me a Q&A thread had been created and I didn't see it under my subscribed threads either.
If more people are interested in a custom version of the newest firmware then I'll make it, but since it's been so dead regarding the padfone 2 i assumed most people stopped using the phone and/or my ROM.
If there's more than 1 person interested in a custom rom of the latest release then let me know and I'll get on it.

Oops. I thought there was not going to be a reply from you, so I created a new ROM myself and posted it. I really hope you don't mind - it was not my intention to steal the "fame and fortune" from you. At first, I thought I would use yours as a starting point, but then I decided to work my way from grounds up using the stock. I did several things differently, especially the rooting style has changed radically.
Haha no problem, feel free to use mine as a starting point, more roms is a good thing!
Hi. I have a serious problem.
I rooted my Padfone 2, then unlocked bootloader and fastboot flashed CWM.
Then I flashed Guerilla rom. It worked until I rebooted it...
Stuck on inital asus logo.
Then I tried a few of your zips via adb sideload. They stay on boot logo and nothing happens. One managed to get to the secondary boot animation and then rebooted and stuck at the inital...
Please help.
The phone is bought from Spain. I didn't check the SKU before flashing the first time.
Flashing Asus's zips from their site does not boot too.
