I do hope you can help me out a bit. I recently updated my phone to 4.0.4, seeing someone built the 4.0.4 with the images files as you can see in yakju-imm76d. I am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction, so I can do the same for the jro03c. Seeing I do not want to wait for the OTA and plus I would like to learn.
Thank you again. Plus I do hope my question was clear.
Plus in the android-info.txt (the information inside of it is):
require board=tuna
require version-bootloader=PRIMELC03
require version-baseband=I9250XXFL1

Hey guys, so I just ordered an Eris which I intend to use on MetroPCS.
I just want to make sure that I'm doing all this in the correct order..
So, fist thing is that I need to make sure that the phone has 2.1 on it in order to use the 1 click root solution(love )
-Though if my phone isn't 2.1..how do I upgrade without rooting so that I can root?
Next, I need to choose a rom to use. I found the read first sticky listing all the most current roms and radios and other info on how to actually install them.
-Though, since the thread is closed are they really all the latest?
Lastly, I need to Flash (not sure if that is actually the correct terminology) the phone's settings over to Metro using the file found here.
I think that's the basic direction that I need to take. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.
I am in the dark about a couple things, though I'm not sure I need to understand them.
I know the kernel is a central part of the OS, but doesn't it come with the rom you choose? Why would you need to flash the Kernel, is it just to update your rom without actually changing your rom?
Also, what's with recovery images and what's an RUU?
Finally, how do I pick a rom that's right for me!? There seem to be so many and I'm not sure which are the most recent/functional/fast..
Anyway, you guys are awesome for all you do and I hope that this thread can be useful to someone besides just me.
Thanks again!!

Probably once you get the phone it will already have the 2.1 official OS or you can update it through the Settings and have it check for updates. I would suggest that you try xtrSense. I have no clue on the Metro settings though but I would imagine once you get a good ROM flashed that all you have to do is to just install the settings.
Thanks, yeah..I think that link that I posted takes care of the metro settings..at least it says it does.
I didn't think I would be able to do an over the air update because I was assuming that it was DL'd from a verizon server. Does the update to 2.1 come from a typical internet source that can be accessed from any network?
So, I have been reasonably experienced in the Android world with terms to Nexus devices and Samsung but HTC still confounds me. I have an S-Off Rezound, it is on GB Firmware and everytime I flash a ROM I have to flash a fix for old firmware or else is random reboots. I have searched and searched on different occasions for the answer to this but I have yet to find a straight answer. Feel free to flame me, be rude, etc., but can someone please point me in the right direction. My Fiancee loves her Rez, has been running sense 4.1 since we got it (it was s-off when we got it, a happy surprise from the seller we bought it from on eBay.) But she is weary of the extra steps she needs to take to update a ROM. Can anyone point us in the right direction?

RUU http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
1st flash RUU(it will give you new firmware permanently)
2nd flash any rom with new firmware
Or ....
Download this
http://old.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/[ICS][2.27][STOCK][8-12]PH98IMG.zip
but don't run it as a PH98IMG just yet, replace the hboot in it from this
http://old.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/[ICS][2.25][STOCK][5-7]PH98IMG.zip
You will be soft-bricked until you flash a new rom/re-flash your current one.
Thanks guys, appreciate the info. She is going to run the RUU today and probably just go back to newts one xxx for global. She was getting tired fo forgetting to flash the "fix" everytime she updated.
You don't need to RUU if you're s-off, you can flash just the firmware, keep in mind you'll need to reverse the old firmware patch, that's available in the link below too..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366
Global would be - [ICS][2.27][STOCK][8-12]PH98IMG.zip, follow the directions in the post to install it.
Back up your rom just to be safe but you should be ok just flashing the combo you want along with the "new" firmware patch.
EDIT - Just realized Snuzzo posted the same thing, it's linked from the XDA post above which has directions in it.
Hiya all
I'm new to these forums but ive lurked for a bit off and on.
However I felt it was time to join up as I am getting more and more involved with android development.
Here is the current scenario: I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989) Currently running the stock firmware (ICS).
I am also rooted and fully enjoy the device and it's flawless operation. But I want to move on to Jellybean as I have heard quite a bit of positive feedback from many users of the newest flavor of android. As such this brings me to my first question rooting after the update.
As I understand it when I update with the OTA JB (that's constantly prompting me) I will be back to a out of box device, No apps, no tweaks, and even worse no root? (if my understanding is faulty or not on point please correct me)
Secondly Has anybody rooted the stock JB with this model of the SSGS2? if so please be as so kind as to direct me to relevant documentation or guides.
That being said Thank you all for your time and I look forward to geeking out on android with all of you from here on out.

Cheers!
Hi there, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I thought I would ask about this instead of trying and possibly bricking my phone.
I'm a semi-experienced Android user. Sometimes the terminology confuses me but I'll get use to it.
Basically, I want to install the latest KK 4.4 Avatar ROM on my i9300. I'm confused to as what files I need? I see people talking about making sure you flash the proper gapps etc?
I'm currently using Googy-Max2 Kernel 2.1.4 on Android Revolution HD SGS3 40.0. Can anyone direct me to the right files needed? Many thanks. I'm sure I'll be sticking around on these forums.
Hi!
I've been an android user for a year now (and never looked back!). I've been playing with the idea of root, but never got around before. I used to have a Nexus 5, but now a Z2.
I've unlocked my bootloader, but then it's all a bit confusing to me. I've been reading for hours in here, but it seems to make me more confused I keep finding new threads linking to another new thread, and they all seem to introduce new words and phrases I'm not quite familiar with
I want my phone to be rooted (because of the opportunities), and I would love to have my Z2 closest possible to my Nexus5 on the software side.
1 - If I understand correctly, what I need is a ROM close to the AOSP software(?) If so, can you point me in the right direction?
2 - I've installed the Sony Mobile Flasher, and downloaded an FTF file from this thread Is the FTF my backup to revert to if I for some reason need to go back to stock? If so, will everything work like before?
3 - I also read about something called recovery? What is this in relation to all this?
I would really appreciate if someone could point me in some sort of direction, before I get more lost in here I need to get started somewhere, to get a better understanding of these terms and processes! Thanks for any help!

1. AOSP roms are base android which nexus runs google android which is literely aosp with google apps so yes aosp roms are what your looking for
with aosp roms you will need to flash a gapps package to have things such as playstore, and such
- you do need a unlocked bootloader
2.you can use flashtool from flashtool.net to flash FTFs incase you need to do a total reset
3. recovery menu is what you use to flash your rom or backup or other things
any questions.. just ask
