Please before making a thread and flooding this forum with help questions do a little of searching many of you guys problem is simple and easy to solve don't start thinking its the end of the world and make a big deal out of it. I know you guys are desperate but please don't keep posting that your device is bricked.
Fixing bricks
Go do some searching in the developer forum really easy how to's and roms there to help you.
Avoiding Bricks
DO not flash any rom other than the one for your device.
Don't go exploring new things and start messing with your device unless you are sure that it is 100% compatible.
One thing i did encounter myself was a bootloop with the YP-G1 because i went into custom recovery while i had steves rom so dont go into that.

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!
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?
I come from the HTC Desire and everything is new to me. I wonder a method effectively and without problems of brick, to root my Samsung.
I've read several times CWM, what you mean EX. "...CWM via stock recovery...".
What's the problem of making the brick making factory reset, I have to install anything, it is that I wanted to install CyanogemMod 10.
Thanks.

Well I cant speak for the Desire forum but in this one we expect users to use proper descriptive titles and not silly completely generic ones like "help please". We also expect users to look and read before creating topics, These questions have obviously already been asked and answered or covered in sticky topics or guides.
OP, Please search for your answers. All you are asking can be found by searching. If you are expecting people to spoon feed you then you must get a heavy flame suit on because around here people do not like users that do not take the initiative to do research and learn the answers to the most common questions on their own.. they expect people to spoon feed them. Do like the rest of us more knowledgeable guys did.. read, then read some more.. use google.. read... read.. read.. Asking questions to stuff where these is already tons of info on isn't going to make you liked around here..

We need to keep all the threads separate per Rom.
For a few reasons, it would be difficult for one person to keep up with every single Rom @sac23 has made on 1 OP post.
It isn't that difficult to sift throughout the development section and or the Q&A section.
If you have issues, questions then please find a member to ask and they'll usually be MORE than happy to assist you.
We all started somewhere, usually from the bottom and some are on the top now.
I hope this answer helped your question out, I tried to the best of my ability.
OK guys.
Got given an i9305 today (UK) that's pretty 'knackered' lol , some Liquid Rom boot screen on it, but it's pretty slow, with dodgy WiFi, so I wanna wipe and start it afresh. What are the steps you would recommend?, with it being an old device and such.
Not clued up on this device whatsoever?, so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanking you kindly, as always.
If u wanna stay on the same rom, then just do a factory reset. but if u wanna enjoy the world of endless roms, first root the device, and flash any rom u may like in the Android Devs section of this forum. Find the rooting guide at the General section of the forum too. Enjoy
