I have Htc Flyer.
I update it from Gingerbread 2.3.3 to Honycomb 3.2.
I want to downgrade it again >>>> How can I downgrade it ?????????????
If there is a 2.3 rom for your device then flash it, or if there is a stock rom flash that. Next time you do an update make a nandroid backup, so if you dont like the new rom then just restore back

Yes i have ClockWork Recoveries that i manually named so i know what rom is what rom at any point i can switch to and from any backup and access whichever version i choose at a moments notice in my opinion you MUST rename them because you know the default name is something like "2012 08.04-12:34:26" just fully remane it so you know what it is!
Its ok to rename in rom manager before you make a backup, but never rename the backup file on a PC and then flash the file, it wont work

[Q] My pc broke down lastnight and am not able to use adb. Is there a way to install kernels by just using the Thunderbolt?
If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it sooooo much. I'm just a basic user so I don't know much about installing kernels besides using adb.
Thanks in advance....

which kernel are you trying to install?
there is a new kernel, that you can flash through recovery, all the older kernels out there must be pushed through ADB.

I'm trying to install Adrynalyne's 2.6.32.21 [Latest Version 1.8] [Updated 3-29-2011]. I thought that all kernels had to be pushed by adb or installed threw amon_ra because of scripts. I'm glad these new kernels don't have to be pushed anymore. Thanks for help nosympathy!

Nope. Just install and go! As a heads up: It's usually preferable to make a backup using ClockworkMod Recovery/ROM Manager before installing anything.
Well I have a backup of my stock ROM already. Should I let it back up my custom ROM as well? Will that erase the stock backup?

yeah you should prob take a backup of your current setup. the whole idea is that anytime you install something, you should have a backup in case the install goes bad (rarely does though). having a backup of your stock ROM is fine in a last resort kinda way. but i'm sure you'd rather restore right back to your custom ROM should something happen.
hai friends,
how to intall stock rom in a custem rom phone?
Hence the rule : always take a nand backup between different roms. If you go back a few pages in the general section you will find a nand backup of the stock rom.

ok
but if i want to remove completely(means remove recovery and rom)
what is the method for that purpose?
Is it done by lg kdz updator tool
Use kdz update only as a last resort! It can be dangerous.
For your problem, first restore the nand backup. Then in the development section, there is a thread by ciaox that has flashable zips of all recoveries, including the original recovery. You can flash this zip and your recovery will be restored to the stock one.

KDZ transfers data in realtime from your PC to your phone SO if something goes wrong with your PC (it crashes, freezes, power surge etc) you get a bricked device which can be unbricked in very rare cases.
It's easy to use but very very dangerous.

If you flash the zip 'Original_recovery_thunderg.zip' (or something similar) then yes your custom recovery will be removed and it will get reverted to stock recovery.

openOptimus is a very stable and fast ROM; I'm very pleased with it. Works very fine with francisco v13.3 kernel and the battery life is pretty good.
@zalman: did you wipe everything before installing the new rom? By that I mean data, cache, dalvik, system.
I'm currently using simply honey 4.0 rc3 and I've always heard good things about miui but it sounds very difficult to install. I have gb boot loaders so I'm not sure how to install it since they're aosp. Another thing is I've heard miui had inferior battery life to touchwiz roms so can anyone share any advice?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If u flash with gb bootloaders the external sd wont mount no big deal but I quickly grew accustomed to MIUI because its so customizable and I hated touchwiz and as for battery I flashed the glitch kernel and undervolted and I got about 12 hrs with moderate use and my battery was at 61% but I guess battery varys from person to person
Sounds good which miui and how do I backup my efs

you can always just flash the froyo bootloader if you switch to miui and you won;t have the external sd problem

Yeah but the complex and tedious work to test a rom just seems a little out there so I wanted to know is miui really worth the big amount of risks I'm happy with my current rom but I've heard good things about miui

Not if you are boot looping, recovery must be launched from within the rom.
maybe we could get hashcode to bring us safestrap. i use ti on my D3 and it is wonderful to have. you can boot into it at start and also you can have a backed up ready to boot original stock OS and then a second rom or whatever you want and you can switch back and forth.
Safestrap should be something like 2ndinit. I can try to port it, but I won't until an rsd recovery solution will come out!

Can rom manager be used to flash them or is it via recovery only?
If there was cm7 out for this phone could it be flashed as of now?

Cm7 requires its own kernel so a Dev would need to do extra work porting it to work with a stock kernel.

Anyone have a successful restore from a backup made by this?
I installed the apk and the app FCs on me when I try to open. Any ideas? I'm on rooted VZW XT912.
Get into recovery?
I f'ed up. I installed RAZR bootstrap, successfully created a nandroid backup, but wasn't thinking and did a system restore, cleared advanced/system, cache, etc, and then proceeded to reboot. It wouldn't get past the Moto logo....
How do I get back to the recovery screen to restore from nandroid backup?
So I've been reading through the forums in search of this answer but I've been unable to find a definite one. I want to try epinters cm10 but if I don't like it, is it safe to flash back neutrinos cm7 using CWM recovery? Will I brick my phone by doing this?
Thanks!

The answer to your question is yes. But the best way to return is by restoring the nandroid backup you will create before trying CM10 (or any other ROM). No brick fears unless you try to flash an sbf (which you should never do).

Thank you so much for the quick response.
Before I flashed cm7, I made a back up of my stock. Same applies if I wanted to flash back to stock using the nandroid backup, correct? Sorry, I just want to clarify completely before doing anything.

You only have to backup your current rom if you think you might want to go back.
Always backup before installing new roms, or making any major changes, or even when you have your current rom set up perfectly. Using rom manager makes it easier because you can name them whatever you want. You can never have too many backups!

For all the lazy kids out there, always create a Nandroid before going to any new ROM.
It's only one extra step, and it beats flashing with a SBF and "hoping" for the best...
