flashed to warmtwopointthree. some issues that on flash that i was kinda meh about it. Unfortunately i didnt do a backup first. :face palm:
Any advice on link to rom and or which rom to use to achieve this would be appreciated.
thanks.
Stock rooted roms are in the dev section. The one by Treve is probably the one you're looking for.
We're comin from a pure power source.
hey mate,
you could go back to a stock rom or you could try recovering it with a custom rom... if you are willing to do that you could try this
1. go to recovery > wipe & factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, go to mounts and storage, wipe system, data, cache, sd card... everything u can find there... wipe all..
2. in recovery DO NOT REBOOT, turn off phone
3. go to android development of evo 3d gsm, find a rom, for example mikrunny 1.06, open the archive extract the boot.img from the kernel folder.
4. assuming u have android sdk installed on ur computer, make a new folder and from the android sdk tools copy adb.exe, fastboot.exe, adbwinapi.dll (exact same files u used to unlock bootloader). also in this folder put that boot.img you extracted from the rom
5. put that folder in C:\
6. get back to phone , still DO NOT BOOT UP YET, and power up phone in bootloader mode (vol down & power) and go to fastboot
7. connect phone to pc in fastboot usb mode
8. open command prompt, type cd c:\"folder" ("folder" = folder u created with the sdk tools)
9. type in cmd: fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. after it's completed, go to recovery, still do not boot up phone
11. in recovery go to mounts and storage, usb storage and now copy the whole rom and nothing but the rom on the sd card
12. install zip from sdcard, select rom and let it install, it should boot up automatically
hope u get it done

FINALY ITS WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you save my life after 2 days of trying! i was nearly to send it to HTC to fix it, i couldnt find a solution to this problem! so, do you want a beer? :silly:

Heu guys,
So after using cyanogenmod9, i felt like reverting tp stock.
Sp i got my kernel (xwkk2) and flashed it with odin. Now im in a bootloop. How the bejesus do i fix this?
Thanks
When I got in a boot loop two days ago all I did was wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and install a new ROM instead. If you don't have a removable microSD to put the ROM I suggest you look for the ADB Push tutorial. After your phone boots up try to install a stock Rom.
I don't if this helped but it worked for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
did you just flash a stock kernel? If so, you would get a bootloop as samsung kernels arent compatible with CM9.
Flash the entire rom instead of just the kernel.
ADB PUSH TUTORIAL (quoted from @brewtaz)
Requirements:
Unlocked Bootloader/Rooted Device
CWM Recovery flashed from fastboot.
Basic knowledge of adb/fastboot commands
Steps:
- Download your ROM of choice (referred to as ROM.zip) and place it wherever your ADB is on computer's harddrive (referred to as c:\AndroidSDK\tools)
- Boot your phone into Recovery and select the "Mounts & Storage" screen
- Plug your phone into your computer using USB Data Transfer Cable
- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount)
- Open Command Prompt on your computer by doing Start -> Run -> cmd
- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.
- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly. (I did not include that message in the picture below)
- Once this has completed, unplug your phone from your computer and close the Command Prompt window
- Back in Recovery, go to Recovery's main screen and Do a "Factory Reset", "Wipe Cache Partition", and "Wipe Dalvik Cache [which is in the Advanced menu of Recovery]"
- When these are all done, from Recovery's main screen, select "Install ZIP from SD Card" and then "Choose file from SD Card" and select the ROM.zip file you just pushed from your computer to the SD Card. If you do not see the file, go back to Mounts and Storage and toggle them to say "Mount /sdcard/" and "Mount /system/" and then go back and try to fine the ROM.zip file. If you still do not see it, it was not pushed correctly...go back and ensure you were letter for letter with the name and the file path.
- Once the screen in Recovery says "Install from SD Card Complete.", go back to Recovery's main screen yet again and select "Reboot system now" - If your device fails to Install the ROM.zip, I had this happen to me. You must push the CWM SuperSU ZIP (the .zip file is found at the end of this thread)file as outlined before and Install THAT .zip file in Recovery, then reboot Recovery and Install the ROM.zip from SD Card.
- Let your phone have some time to boot up...initial boot from installing a new ROM have histories of taking a couple minutes.
- You should now be on a working SGS2 running whatever ROM you decided to flash.
I hope this HELPED.

haaha it ws actually all coz didnt format /data... GAH
Thanx for tutorial...
So what I am trying to do is get my feet wet with doing some dev work and basically I'm trying to figure out how to (without flashing anything, i want to remove the stuff myself):
De-bloat the stock sense rom and/or just remove all of the HTC garbage and use a different launcher all together without if affecting the system (Im not too sure what is acceptable to remove and what needs to stay in the /system/app/ dir)
Remove the annoying WiFi in the status bar
any and all help is much appreciated and even just pointing me in the right direction
Well you are going to have to flash something.

Here's state of the art for today:
1. Hack DNA to make it look like non-Verizon to the htcdev.com site. Here's a new painless method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109862
2. Go to htcdev.com and follow link to unlock bootloader. Note that this will WIPE YOUR "SD CARD". It's the only thing that does that. No problem with ROMs, etc. Not even a "factory reset" wipes the "SD", but the bootloader unlock does. You can do a backup before rooting if you install ADB on your PC. See 3a.
3. Install ADB on your PC http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/ and test the connection with "adb devices" command.
a. Consider backup of DNA before unlocking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
4. Install a recovery.
a. Dowload a recovery to your PC, either Clockworkmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051547 or TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994662. Extract the recovery.img file to a folder on your desktop,
b. Connect your DNA to your PC. Open a command prompt in the folder with the recovery by shift-right clicking in that folder and selecting "open command prompt here".
c. Type "adb reboot bootloader" without quotes and enter. DNA will reboot into bootloader. enter "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and you're there. You're done with the PC.
5. Install superuser and busybox.
a. Download superuser http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip to your "SD card".
b. Reboot to recovery. You can start recovery during a boot by holding down the volume down button during power up of phone.
c. Use the install zip function to install the above zip. Find links to wipe cach partition and Dalvik cache. Reboot and you're rooted.
d. Install busybox from market.
6. Change to a kernel that can write to system. Most reliable is LK 0.9.5. This will also save you considerable battery life. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106178
a. Download the zip to your DNA and unzip it. There is a boot.img file and another zip file with "kernel modules".
b. Download flash image GUI from market. Use it to find the boot.img file and flash, ignoring the warning about modules. (hard way is use ADB and fastboot flash boot boot.img)
c. Use recovery to install the modules zip package with the install zip function. Wipe cache and Dalvik cache
and reboot.
7. Install Titanium Backup. With this, you can simply freeze or uninstall any app, system/bloat or otherwise, but it requires the system write kernel to change system files.
6. Stronly consider switching ROMs to Viper. All the good of stock but better in so many ways.

While all of this is very very helpful, I failed to mention that this isn't my first rodeo, While I have firm understanding of ADB and rooting and flashing, my approach was more of the "behind the scenes" kind of stuff like what goes on inside of the ROM (tweaking files and what not) I'm at the stage where im trying to learn how to cook a rom(i guess some would say). I've already done so with CM10.1 for my Nexus 7(compiled from sauce), im farily comfortable with linux and my way around the OS. I've got the kitchen setup as well as apktool and what Im trying to learn is how to use these tools to their full extent.
like to make the boot.img unsecure, create a "flashable signed zip", remove non essential apps, the starter stuff
A little bit of background about me: I love computers, im going to school for a Computer Science degree, this kind of work has always interested me and I cant seem to get enough of it, ever since ive discovered this site i cant keep away and i love this communty, I've always wanted to just do more than flash someone else's work, i want to give back and start being able to do things.
Like i said before thanks to everyone for any information its all much appreciated!
Hi guys look I have xperia u gingerbread rooted unlocked bootloader and cwm recovery installed is there a way to install a Rom by cwm recovery to make it ics? Plz help cuz that why I rooted!
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
Yes, just to go it's subforum ( forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1728 ), choose a ROM and follow it's instructions.
Cyanogenmod 9.1 is available for xperia u
Before Installing make sure to :
1. Download and install the android SDK and install adb (Click here for guide to install ADB on the android SDK)
2. Have atleast 70% battery life left
Download these files :
Fastboot
Google Apps (Gapps)
Cyanogenmod 9.1
(Xperia U Codename is KumQuat)
Now comes the flashing part
Extract the downloaded fastboot file to the desktop.
Get the downloaded ROM zip file which contains boot.img file and copy the boot.img it in the fastboot folder.
Copy ROM and Gapps zip file into the Xperia U SD card (Internal memory).
Power off the phone.
Now press and hold the volume down key and at the same time connect your Xperia U to the PC via USB cable.
Now your phone LED turn to blue color
Open the fastboot folder.
Press and hold the shift key on your keyboard and simultaneously right click inside the fastboot folder.
Now you can see the Windows context menu. Click its Open command window here option.
Then Windows Command Prompt(CMD) window will open.
Type or copy/paste following command line.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After the installation is completed, next type following command line.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Next we should boot into the recovery. To do that while the Xperia U rebooting you can see the Free Xperia Projectboot-logo. Now quickly press and release the Volume Up key few times.
After you enter into the CWM based recovery first make a backup of your current ROM. Go to backup and restoregtBackup. It will take a few minutes. When its completed go back to the main menu.
Navigate to Wipe data/factory resetgtYes Wipe user data. After it completed go back to the CWM main menu.
Go to Wipe cache partitiongtYes Wipe cache.
Navigate to Advanced>Wipe dalvik-cache >Yes Wipe.
Now we can start the CyanogenMod ROM installation. Go to Install zip from the sd card>Choose zip from sd card. Browse the ROM zip file and select Yes Install.
Installation takes a few seconds. After it completed again select Choose zip from sd card option and select the downloaded Gapps.zip file. To begin the installation select Yes Install.
After all the zip file installed, go back to the ClockworkMod based recovery main menu.
Select reboot system now option.
Now your phone will be rebooted. First boot takes a few minutes. Its longer than usual time.
Congratulations, you just installed CyanogenMod 9.1 on your Sony Xperia U ST25i.
Hit That Thanks Button if i helped!
Thank but there is mistake in volume buttoms you gave me the opposite of it lol

So when I am putting the ROM on the SD card I am putting the zip file as is on the SD card then or just part of what's inside the zip file because it does not seem to want to install when I put the zip file as is on the SD card it goes through some sort of attempt to install and says fail
and is there another command for
15. Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I typed in the code as it is written and it did not work just gave me command options to chose from not sure how to enter the other commands either

1) Install it via Recovery, should be an install option in TWRP.
2) from your PC connect to your phone via USB - fastboot flash boot c:\location\to\boot.img
Change the path to where ever you have the boot.img saved on your PC.
is the install suppose to say fail

I do install it from recovery TWRP install but after it does some processing it says fail. Does that matter did it do what it needed to do and it is just time to run the flash from the computer then, or is some thing wrong happening?

I think TWRP 2.5.0.0 requires that the installer have newer binaries, you may want to try CWM touch instead for a recovery.
how do I install a different recovery then

where do I get newer binaries? how do I install a different recovery if I have no Android OS on the phone? and is there a link to CWM touch
I am very new to the android world, seeing as I am a recent iOS convert. However, I am still struggling with all the terminology and technicalities of android and require assistance (perhaps a lot! :cyclops.
I have managed to root my G2 (VERIZON MODEL) but am stuck there. I do not know how to install CWM or TWRP, nor install any custom ROMs like CM or Gummy.
So will anyone be kind enough to guide me through the process? Thank you.
P.S.
I have searched through the threads in this forum regarding installing custom ROMs and am still confused.

first download twrp for your device, http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2vzw/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-g2vzw.zip
plug the phone to the computer, make sure u have usb debugging on in developer settings of phone
since you are already rooted, place that file recovery img to the IOROOT folder.
once done, rename the recovery file to recovery.img
one done, CONTROL + SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK, OPEN COMMAND PROMPT HERE
then type this
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
(IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt on your phone, type su in the command prompt to get it then allow it on phone. once thats done then contine onto next step blow.)
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
adb reboot recovery
once its complet just reboot the phone and you should have twrp installed!
once twrp is installed, you can dl the verizon version of paranoid android here

and

dl the file, drag the files to the phone, dont place into any folder though.
to install, go to the ioroot folder again, control shift right click open prompt again, type adb reboot recovery
phone should reboot to recovery, go to settings, then select USE RM-F instead of formatting, then go to wipe, advance, select dalvik cache, system, data, and cache. IMPORTANT DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL STORAGE!!!
then swipe to wipe
then go to install then install the paranoid android download first, once its installed, hit the back button on the botom right, then install the GAPPS, then reboot the device your done.
Or you could just download the recovery.img that u choose, and flash it using the app called "Flashify". Easiest way by far and works perfectly for me everytime, using both TWRP and CWM whenever I need.
Once you have that done, installing a ROM such as GUMMY is fairly simple since it usually has the instructions right there in the OP of the thread. Pretty straightforward.

So I take it that I put the "ioroot10" file into my phone over the USB, then extract the files of the TWRP file, then place the extracted TWRP file inside of the ioroot10 file? Also, I did the control+shift+right click, but there is not OPEN COMMAND PROMPT option. Sorry for all the questions..

no, you place the recovery.img to the ioroot10 folder, ioroot10 stays on your computer.
control + shift + right click = open command window here
Just use flashify its free n so much easier
