So I may be totally out of the loop or just getting old. I am running a rooted froyo and want to bump it to Gingerbread. The new release seems exciting... but I can't find any guides to go from froyo to GB... Can anyone help me out or is it a lot simpler than I think... I know I have to flash the radio maybe and then the Rom?

Since you didn't say which froyo you were coming from and some radios work on both froyo and gb download a gb radio and flash that in hboot first. Now download newest "rooted" version in general section, flash in recovery after a full wipe of data, cache, davlik since so much is updated.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button

very simple process, read the sections on flashing ROMs and radios, then it should take all of 20 minutes to actually do
note: if flashing the stock S-on, that's called and RUU, read the appropriate section of the guide and CHECK MD5 SUMS!!!
Yup will do thanks! I'm running 1.8.6 das bamf right now... I think its about time to upgrade this weekend

Firstly.. I'll admit that I didn't read as throughly as I probably should have.. I have rooted several phones with the first being the original Motorola Droid and then a couple others.. All fairly tricky but for the most part no big deal... Anyway, I had no idea what S-ON or S-OFF meant nor was it very easy to find information such as this explained in detail..
Anyway, here is where I'm at..
1. Running S-ON, ICS w/ Slim 1.6
2. Phone has a tendency to reboot when it feels like it.. hasn't been too bad but seems to happen more when it's on 4G
3. Phone will NOT allow me to mount the internal storage nor the sd card when I plug into a computer.. like I mean it's not even an option, all I get are charge and internet tethering options..
4. the BIGGEST issue.. I can not tether whatsoever.. I've tried several apps such as Barnacle & PDAnet but none of which work.. I'm sorry I'm just used to the days of my incredible where it was very easy to tether and install ROM's all day long so I guess I was spoiled..
Any help would be appreciated.. the more I read though the more that S-OFF will offer and am I correct to have read that if I do the S-OFF I can turn my phone back to a "locked" status in the boot loader and in turn can also put back to completely stock??
Thanks!
You need to flash the old firmware patch. Should be able to find it in one of the rom threads

So after checking into some things I tried going a different route..
I downloaded Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 (ICS Latest) (Aroma Installer).. followed the instructions.. installed with S-ON etc.. everything seemed fine.. NOW it won't stop rebooting after I configured Gmail & my work E-mail.. I can't boot into the bootloader menu unless I remove the SD card because it tries to flash the PH98IMG.zip as soon as it loads..
SO what to do next?? HBOOT I have the following information
UNLOCKED
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON SL
HBOOT-2.11.0000
Radio-0.95.00.1118r/0.95.0.1223r

HELP please!!
.make sure you install the kernel and the gb firmware patch...these 2 things missing will cause bootloops .
If you have issues ask in Nils thread and I am sure he will help you out. I have been s off and on ics firmware for awhile prior to the aroma install method. Otherwise I could help you out more
Edit: you will want to select the first 3 boxes on the aroma install screen...Rom...kernel...gb firmware patch
Not sure how the installer works after that...but that's a start.
Edit2: you are currently on gb firmware, in the future if you run a gb Rom you will need to flash the gb kernel for the Rom. Any ics based rims will require the ics kernel AND the firmware patch. Without the firmware patch your sd card won't show up properly. The wrong kernel will end up in boot loops. Hope this helps explain things a bit.

Thank you very much for the help... I really thought I was on ICS firmware.. I know this sounds stupid but isn't Android version 4.0.3 ICS??
OH WAIT it just hit me.. So my ROM is 4.0.3 but the kernel is still GB.. I gotcha.. so of course my next question is.. can I upgrade to ICS firmware without S-OFF or is that a requirement???
I think what I'll end up doing is just flashing GB ROM but curious what would be needed to get to ICS firmware and can I get back again?
You can upgrade to ics firmware (via ics ruu). However with s on, you can only run the ruu you are currently on and/or newer versions/leaks. With s off you can run any ruu you like.
Basically you never ran an ics ruu, so your firmware is gingerbread. You can run either gb or ics. With a gingerbread Rom, you would flash Rom and kernel. With ics Roms, you'll need to flash Rom, kernel, and firmware patch.
If you decide to upgrade and run a ics ruu it will upgrade your hboot, radios, and change the mount point for the sd card. The mount point change is the reason for the firmware patch. After running an ics ruu you will have ics firmware. Running a ics Rom, you'll flash Rom and kernel. If you change mind and want to go to a gb Rom, you'll need Rom, kernel, and firmware patch.
So depending on which version or way you go depends on the method of flashing a Rom. Firmware is independent of roms, and the only easy way to change firmware is via a RUU.
Supposedly the ota is coming soon, supposedly the latest leak is the ota, supposedly the s off exploit will not be able to be patched.
I decided to s off...there's many threads with lots of info...so if you decide to go that route take time, read, and read some more. It's not too hard just take your time and don't get frustrated.
Once s off, most roms flash the kernels automatically, saving you a step. You can also run any ruu you want. Ruu is like a factory image that wipes the phone and upgrades radio, etc....basically it will be like you first got the phone and turned it on.
Everyone has different experiences with radios, some are betterfor some, others worse. Overall the new ics firmware seems to be better on battery and network speed for me at least.
There's many ways to proceed....however most roms that are being worked are ics based...and will be more so when the official ics ota hits.

Sure enough!! I went with a GB ROM CleanROM GBE 1.7.5 and it is working perfectly.. I'll decide if I want to move forward with anything else.. I really liked the way the ICS ROMs ran so I man end up moving to that firmware in the future but thank you very much with the explanations that REALLY helped a lot!!

ICS is the way to go, and for it to run properly you should run the latest RUU leak. This will give you the correct firmware. Once you flash the recovery of your choice back onto your phone and re-root, you really should S-off. Amon-Ra is the best initial Recovery choice, because it'll root anything, right there in recovery. S-off simplifies EVERYTHING. From there, you can flash the ICS Rom of your choice, and not have any of the issues you've been reporting.
With S-off, you can flash whatever radio you want, put a different boot-up splash screen on, and the kernel installs automatically when you flash a Rom.
It's a little time consuming, but it isn't difficult. There are threads from some very helpful guys here that explain how to do everything. So when you have some time, I suggest you just go for it. You'll be glad you did.
Best of luck,
BBEgo

I'm still a little leary on doing the S-OFF so I have a question on this.. What do you mean by this?? What has to match to be able to run ICS ROM's.. Are you saying the ICS Firmware version needs to match the ICS ROM?
So I have been upgrading my ROM without realising I should probably upgrade my Kernel too. Just loaded up Devil Toast 0.7 and it works great, but since installing it I haven't been able to use my wifi. Started getting curious, and I noticed a lot of people have a different kernel than myself, and the last time I probably upgraded mine was when I installed CM7.
So my question is, where/how can I get a more up to date kernel? I did a few searches but I wasn't able to find solid answers. I really just want a nice stable kernel that works with Devil Toast.
are you CDMA or GSM? HTC just released the kernel source code the other day. So now the kernel devs can actually start making good kernels. AFAIK for CDMA the only kernel besides stock is the MAC kernel(see here). There might be a few floating around the Infected forums, but I'm not sure. Best bet right now is to probably run the kernel that comes with the rom, until the devs pump out some better kernels with more features(and more stable). Maybe post your WiFi problems in the DevilToast thread to see if someone has an answer?

I'm CDMA with a kernel version is [email protected], and I've noticed a few of the people in the devil toast thread are running 3.0 versions of a kernel. So I'm guessing those people installed a different kernel than what the ROM carries? I might just do a complete wipe and see what happens, I just hate re-configuring everything. I was going to post on the DT thread but I can't since I haven't made enough posts on the boards. Tricky business.
The kernel in question is right here: https://github.com/htc-mirror/shooteru-ics-crc-3.0.16-e733189 but I have no idea how to go about grabbing it for my phone. I was never big on compiling my own code.
It seems like you are running toascfh's WiMAX build, correct? agrabren has had a 3.0 kernel for a bit now on DevilToast. What version are you running? Try installing the newest one(.7). I would recommend a full wipe though... the latest version has almost everything working sans 3D.

Yeah, that's what I was running before. I just tried a full wipe and reinstalled 0.7 devil toast, but it didn't change my kernel. I'm guessing i'm missing a step or doing something wrong for my particular phone. I've got hboot 1.50 and I have successful root, but I've heard of hboot 1.50 causing fussiness, so maybe it's related.
I've been dropping into TWRP and flashing the ROM from there. Since I've got hboot 1.50, do you think I'll need use adp to push the ROM through? That's how I originally flashed toastcfh's mod, but when I tried to use adp to push CM9, it wasn't cooperating, so I just used TWRP.
Are you S-ON? I know alot of people have been having problems booting DT, one thing that seems to help is using 4ext recovery. You should try changing your recovery, you can always go back if it doesn't help or you don't like it. Just fyi, nandroids are not compatible between the two. Using 4ext, wipe all but SD card, then flash the rom, then wipe data again and you should be good to go.

I was S-ON. I finallyyyyy got it working, but it was a hell of a pain. I ended up downgrading to hboot 1.40, which was a majority of the hassle. Then I got it to S-OFF. Once I got that going, I was able to get both the ROM and the Kernel to flash. I get to deal with a new issue, but the original problem of the Kernel not updating is fixed. It's now running 3.0.x very nicely.
Thanks for the help, I finally have my wifi back!
So I have been browsing around and have decided to flash the newest version of Sebastian's overclocked kernel. I am S-Off on the newest HBOOT currently running zhp's Vigor 1.1 on the latest ICS RUU.
I am assuming I just flash the zip provided (kernel) via recovery correct? Also, what programs do you guys use in order to tune the speed of the cpu's? Is it built into the kernel?
I have also been hearing that people get problems flashing the kernel straight up, and that they need to flash the stock kernel before hand then flash Sebastian's over that. Is this true?
Thanks in advance.

Flash in recovery ( make sure not cwm, our phones dont seem to like that one too much, I would use Amonra for something as serious as a kernel, then switch back TWRP for fun), simple as that, i wipe cache and dalvik but heard that it was unnecessary. You wont lose anything if you do
I use incredicontrol by chad, but sebastians doesn't have fast charge built in. SO that option wont be available.
People get problems because they are s-on flashing it, you dont have to worry, make sure you dont have a ph98img stored on your sd card in case of trouble you can just go to recovery from hboot and flash a different kernel. and make sure u match the kernel with your rom of course, sense 4 , sense 3.6 , aosp , or whatever, i see your rom but i am making sure you understand you cant just slap a kernel that was intended for a different platform.
Changing voltage ABILITY is built in the kernel, but to harness it , you need an app , once again i like incredit kernel, i am hearing issues with setcpu, choose your flavor.

Thank you for your great response. I think this is for Sense 3.6. I will also try out incredicontrol and get back to you on that.
*EDIT
Where can I find out that this is for 3.6?
Edit:
To add to this it look like it will work on any ROM that has a unsecured boot.img. Now I haven't tested that..
Here you go
Edit : I would listen to zone ... lol he is awesome ...
Ah alright. Are you on this kernel zone?

Yes I am. It will run on 3.14 or 4.03 as long as you are flashing over a kernel that it unsecured.

Hi,
I got a second hand T-mobile Amaze 4G and since it's second hand, I don't have very accurate info regarding what the previous guy had done with it. I've been reading extensively the forums for past weeks since all this stuff was new to me and I'm better now but still have a few questions though.
What I want to achieve is to have a stable ICS ROM on my phone. If I understood correctly, as of now nightly build of Cyanogenmod and
Info regarding my phone:
A) Carrier is T-mobile.
B) Probably is S-on, I can be wrong.
C) Have no idea about it's SuperCID status.
D) It's recovery was "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7" but I installed 4EXT Recovery Touch V.1.0.0.5 RC7 on it since I read most ROMs require this.
(That's all I can think off from what I read is required to know about one's phone, but if not, ask me and I'll do my best to reply)
My questions:
1- Since my phone's carrier is T-mobile, do I still have to s-off my phone if I want to install ICS on it?
2- If the previous question's answer is positive, do I have to run Juopunutbear under Ubuntu? I read unlimited.io's website and they suggested Ubuntu and removed Windows versions of Juopunutbear due to compatibility (and user trolls) but I see youtube tutorials on to do it under Windows. Is it advised to do it under Ubuntu? It's hard to download 700Mb and also work under Ubuntu for me.
3- Which ROM is better for me? I'm a game developer and just need a stable phone so I can test my game on it. I need SD card access when I mount the phone to my computer so I can easily deploy my games. I do like the stock ICS look of Cyanogenmod but apparently Revolution is more stable, right? I'm open to other alternatives, I just want a stable ROM and hopefully look of stock ICS.
4- I tried installing both of the Cyanogenmod and Revolution but after the installing them and restarting the phone, it gets stuck at htc logo. I've read that this can be due to s-on but I also read that T-mobile phones do not require those steps. So this is my main problem now.
Thank guys so much in advance.
Update
I put the the 4EXT recovery into SmartFlash mode and then flashed the Cyanogenmod again and after the install, it did not stuck at htc logo but when I unlock the phone, it freezes after 1-2 seconds and the auto restarts! :'(
This is a good thread to read through before you start flashing ROMs, since your phone is S-ON.
Make sure you enable smartflash in 4EXT

Thanks for the reply. What's I believe is missing from that topic is that you need to upgrade the firmware. I think that's why my phone gets frozen after 1-2 seconds, amsearching for the firmware I have to upgrade.
Another question to my initial ones:
5- If I upgrade my firmware, will I be able to install GB ROMs again on it? Or do I have to downgrade my firmware in order to do so?
did you wipe completely before flashing the ROM? Wipe cache, dalvik cache and wipe data?

Yes, I run the Super Wipe script, "Super_Wipe_Amaze_4G.zip", so it does all that. I strongly believe my problem is that I didn't install the stock ICS ROM before installing Cyanogenmod and am downloading the latest one.
So I have two questions:
1) When I upgrade my firmware to ICS, how am I will be able to install GB ROMs again? Do I have to install older firmwares first?
2) Which ICS ROM has stock lookingness of ICS but with most features and stability?
Thanks.
Cm10 is a jellybean rom and wont work until your phone is already running ics. If youre on gb, install a stock tmobile ics ruu and then flash cm10. For stock look and performance id recommend the energy rom.
Also someone correct me if im wrong but youll have to soff to go back to gb
Success!
Yes the problem WAS that I had to flash stock ICS RUU first then flash any ICS custom ROM over it. I now have a nice CryogenMod 10 on my device. It's not complete but I really love how it looks! Thanks to it's great devs.
It's not that stable and I see
And it lacks SD card drive mount which I used a lot, maybe I try to use AirDroid instead. Have to try it for a few days.

Thanks Hassan, what I meant by stock is not the sense look, I don't like it. What I meant is original ICS look that Nexus 7 has for example. The look that CryogenMod has. What I was asking is that is there any other ROM which looks like CryogenMod but is more stable and has more features?
And is there any comparison chart between current state of ICS ROMs? Which ones are good for daily usage?
And I still have my questions:
1) What should I do if I want to get back to GingerBreak ROMs? Should I have to install/flash GB RUU and then a custom GB ROM over it?
2) My WiFi signal is worse, like half of what is used to be, since I'm sitting next to my router, so do I have to run/flash anything to fix this?
And let me thank EXT4 Recovery's SmartFlash, I didn't need to s-off my device, which is tricky, needs Ubuntu to work fine, etc.

I dont think were allowed to compare roms here. But for the look you like with features, there are several options. One is fourth bar infusion by craigtut. Another is the one im using which is jellybam. A personal favourite rom is the dark glass 0.3 pacman by josegaire. These are tge roms with a nexus look.. the wifi signal must have something to do with the rom. Try a different one and see if it improves.

well it's your choice and for the downgrade part thats the procedure just flash a GB ROM but never seen a post who downgrade their firmware version you can try if you want it wont hurt you..but if you want to go to stock flash the ics ruu it'll do the same thing and the wifi issue i'd say try flashing the [25.MAR.13] T-Mobile OTA 2.14.531.30 [STOCK] and then flash cyanogenMod if the problem still exist ask from the Cyanogen users whether is it a problem with the rom itself

Since you are looking for a "Nexus look" the fourth bar ROM by craigtut aims for that.

I actually did the very same thing, flashed the latest RUU which is 2.14.531.30 [STOCK] and then CM10 on it.

Thanks. I think the only ROMs that have the Nexus look are CM and FourthBar, right? Is FourthBar more stable for daily use than CM10? I love CM but sudden lags and occasional bugs is irritating.
The fourth bar has no issues at all. There used to be an older version of it called fourth bar nexus that was even more stable with better battery life but i think it has been taken down. Fourth bar infusion is a great daily driver though.

I'd suggest s-off then super cid then tmobile ics.. Telus is a Canadian carrier known for being major a##holes..
Running tmobile on my Canadian (wind mobile) amaze required Soff

Can you compare it to CM10? What are advantages and disadvantages between the two.

I don't know what you meant by "stable ICS rom" but the latest ICS that T-mobile released has Sense UI but I want Nexus UI.
Your phone carrier is tmobile.. But.. The phone was not made for tmobile.. It was made for telus..
Telus would luck up a cockroach if they could derive a profit from even 1 customer.
You need super cid.. So you need to Soff first.
Then you can flash anything in the future
I've seen a big difference in problems between those who do Soff and those who don't.. I watch closely since I did my Soff.. It's worth it.

I flashed this "RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L. 17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed.zip" (and then CM10 over it) so I think it's a T-mobile ROM, right?
