Just search in development section for a rom for your phone you like. There will be installation instructions and a kernel to flash.
Make sure battery status is more than 75%, best 100%
1. Download the zip to install the rom and copy it to your sd card. Download the kernel (make sure the right one for your device),too.
2. Download sony flashtool and install it.
3. Open flashtool and click on the flash, select "fastboot mode" and choose "select kernel to flash". Now put your phone in fastboot mode (hold volume up while connecting to pc, blue led will turn on)
4. Select the kernel you have downloaded from the thread of the rom. It should be named boot.img. Flashtool will automaticly flash it.
5. SEE THE LOG FOR ERRORS. IF THERE ARE NO ERRORS/BAD BLOCKS, CONTINUE!
6. Unplug device and restart. Press volume down again and again.
7. Look in the forum thread, what has to be wiped/formatted (for example /system or /data or just do a factory reset).
8. Select "install zip from sd card" -> "choose zip" -> choose the installation zip you put on your sd card. and click yes.
9. Just let it install, don't pull battery, because you think it stucks.
(9.1) If there is an aroma installer, you will have to choose your device (volume up or down to navigate) and home button to select. If required select unlocked bootloader.
(9.2) If there were any fixes on the thread, just flash them, too. For that you had to put on sd card before starting everything!
10. Reboot and enjoy
Hope it helps
I know you people all like these easy questions which get your thanks meter up boosting your ego, but these posts should not be endorsed!
someguyfromhell made THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792 post, which is called TUTORIAL, FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND FIRST AID, and so it wouldn't get lost made a sticky which is the first thing you read when you open this section of the forum.
Honestly, did you even bother stopping by and reading before opening a useless thread?
Please please please stop endorsing posts like "which rom should i flash on my xx", or "how do i root my phone", it's all been said and done and opening up all these threads just gets people lost when searching for an actual problem.
Kthxby.

I'm rooted, but I don't know how to install a ROM. Please help!
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
If you search the forums you will find many guides to this. Best thing is to find the ROM you want and look at their instructions.
Download the BSR (boot strap recovery) and then download which ROM you want. Then install the BSR and go into the app and press Install Recovery, then press Recovery Mode after you plugged your phone into the wall. It will shut down then boot back up into BSR and use the volume rocker on the side if the phone to go down the list until you get to Install zip from SD card and use power button on top to select and then select chose file from SD card and navigate to where you have the ROM you downloaded. Then select it. It will ask are you sure, select yes. Also before you install zip, in the BSR, select wipe data/factory reset and also select wipe cache. Then select reboot system now and there you go! It will boot up to the ROM you just installed!

In there, choose a ROM you would like. In each ROM's thread, they give instructions on how to install them. Check the droid X2 development forum for guides and multiple how-tos.
Hope that helps
Yes that's a quick, generalized guide to installing a ROM, but some roms may be different, such as CM7. bfmetcalf said it best though. Find the ROM you want and follow their instructions. Sometimes people post videos on Youtube also.
Hey, I'm looking for a good, blur based, Rom for my atrix (at&t 4.5.91).
I have had some bad experience with cm7 based ROMs and with Alien ROM.
I would like to flash a good, stable, fast and well looking Rom which fits for gaming.
Thank you and forgive me if I had any English mistakes
Sent from my atrix.
Well the only blur based ROM *I* have seen is Aura. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186990
Though for gaming you could check out Faux123's 023 CM7 kernel for a good overclock. I've been using it with the Neutrino ROM at 1.3Ghz and games run amazing!
I used Aura for 2 months and have to say it is very good.

Im using the lite version of wetdream, but he has a full blur version on his thread as well. Works great and haven't had any major issues yet.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I remember i wanted to install it but as i reall it requires a different type of recovery which i have no idea how to install...i will try Aura now.
thank you !
What recovery are you using now? Installing recoveries is one of the easiest things to do.
I'm going to assume you are using the Rom Manager recovery which you would have installed through the app. If you go to the thread for the "romracer" recovery you will see there are zip files which you can then use Rom Manager's recovery to flash and, voila, you are running a new recovery.
If this is not the case, let me know the details and maybe I can help.
As far as Blur based ROMs, there is Aura, Wet Dream, Darkside, Cherry Pi/Pi Crust, Homebase, and GingerMod.
They are all stable AFAIK, it just really depends on what added features/functionality each one brings to the table that best suits your needs/wants.

Romracers recovery...
Just put the Wet Dream ROM onto your external sd-card and do this:
1. Turn off phone and boot into recovery by:
a. Press and hold Volume Down and then press Power
b. Continue holding Volume Down until it says "fastboot" then release
c. Repeatedly press Volume Down until it says "Android Recovery" then press Volume Up
2. Once in recovery you navigate with the volume buttons and select with the power button, now go to:
a. Select "Advanced" and then select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
b. Once finished, select "Go back" and then select "Wipe cache"
c. After that select "Wipe data/Factory reset", it will ask if you want to "wipe sd-card-ext", make you sure you select "No"
3. Once that is completed, select "Install zip from sd-card" then select "Choose zip from sd-card". Select the appropriate file and the confirm.
4. When the install completes, select "Go back" and then select "Reboot system"
Let it boot all the way and if you want to install any themes or add-ons just go back to recovery using Steps #1 and #3, Skip Step#2 when applying themes and add-ons
This is for installing the ROM, but you might want to do a fastboot wipe so give me a minute to put together instructions for that.

To do a Fastboot wipe there is a batch script which makes it very easy
1. Go here and download the "MFB Full Wipe: 2.0" file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421261
2. Unzip the file and then go to the "Moto-fastboot" folder within the file, then double click the "Moto-FB Full Wipe.bat" file.
3. This will open a command prompt so now you have to put your phone into fastboot:
a. Turn off phone and then boot while holding Volume Down (just like if you were to go into recovery)
b. When it says "Fastboot", release Volume Down and just press Volume Up (It should say "Entering Fastboot protocol"
c. Plug the phone into the computer
4. Go back to the command prompt and press any key to make sure the device is connected correctly, the instructions will inform you that there should be you device ID listed. Once confirmed, press any key to begin the wipe
5. Once it is done it will say to press any key to reboot, at this point have the phone in hand and then press a key to start the reboot. Once the screen goes blank press and hold the Volume down and then continue the instructions for installing the ROM after you disconnect it from the computer. (If you miss it and it goes to the Boot logo, just pull the battery and restart the ROM install instructions)
NOTE: I would recommend putting the ROM zip onto your sd card before doing the wipes.
About GGB
AT&T = Wet Dream
EU and INT = The DarkSide
That's a Fact
Darkside and Wet Dream are both based off of AT&T(US) builds

Ok, but the Faux's Kernel only work well based of INT(BR) in Gingerbread 2.3.5 mod, the battery life is very poor if you to compare with the Wet Dream (GGB 2.3.6).... yet.

I am no longer supporting this version of CF-Root. I have personally moved away from permanent custom recoveries. I will still be providing roots by way of CF-Auto-Root (click). The downloads in this thread will remain available, I just won't be updating them.
.
.
.
.
.
If you just want to get your device rooted ASAP, see this thread instead: CF-Root. It includes this recovery in it's installation, and automatically installs root. This thread is for the recovery only.
Check your device model ! Settings -> About device -> Model number. This stuff is made for the GT-I9300 and GT-I9300T, if your model number has a suffix, it may not work, or if it is a totally different model, it will not work (may even brick) !
Not compatible with ROM Manager ! Use the CWM Manager provided instead.
Here's my port of CWM 5.5.0.4 to the SGS3. There's a second version number in the thread title, as I think there will be multiple versions.
As is the case with every SGS release (it happened with the SGS1 and the SGS2, and now again with the SGS3), CWM source isn't built to correctly deal with our setup (internal storage vs sdcard). I had to make a number of changes to the source to get it working correctly. From my tests, it all seems to work, but it's quite possible I missed something (report issues).
(I have tested backup/restore to both internal and external storage, wipes, installing zips from both internal and external, etc, all works as I expect it to)
Aside from the base fixes, there is currently nothing fancy about this build of CWM. I'm not sure if the SGS3 suffers from the brick bug (that SGS2 and Note have), but I patched out the relevant code to be sure (I think). Backups are rather big, system alone is about a GB.
I'll do more some other day!
Instructions - Short
Extract the attached CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y zip file, to get the tar file you can flash in Odin as PDA.
Instructions - Long
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached Odin3-vX.X.zip file
- Unzip the attached CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y.zip file
- If you end up with a recovery.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y.tar
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-down + home + power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it.
Navigation
In recovery, use the volume buttons to move up/down, power or home button to select, and back to go back.
Manually rooting
Note: if you're just flashing CWM to root, it is easiest to follow this thread instead: CF-Root. It includes this recovery in it's installation, and automatically installs root.
Applying root once you have this recovery installed is easy.
- Go to the SuperSU thread and download the CWM-SuperSU-...zip file attached to the first post
- Put the zip file on your sdcard (either internal storage or external sdcard will do)
- Put your phone in recovery mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-up + home + power to boot - release power after one second) - Alternatively, use the "adb reboot recovery" command
- Select "install zip from sdcard"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard" or "choose zip from internal sdcard" (depending on where you put the zip)
- Select the CWM-SuperSU-...zip file
- Done !
Root in ADB
If you root through recovery and are not running a custom kernel, chances are that ADB does not have root when Android is booted. You can enable root in ADB even on stock kernels by using the adbd Insecure app. This does require the device to be rooted!
When flashing a new firmware ...
... you probably want to keep recovery. Most stock firmwares include the stock recovery, so if you flash those with Odin this recovery will be overwritten. Alternatively, if you are using Mobile ODIN to flash, first open the firmware files you want to flash using the "Open file ..." entry (sometimes several times), then select the "Recovery" entry and press the "Clear" button in the popup. This way, recovery will not be overwritten.
CWM Manager
Also attached is CWM Manager, a tool I wrote to manage my CWM kernels and recoveries. Download the APK to your device and open it to install. You may need to go to Settings -> Security -> Device Administration first and enable Unknown sources.
Note that v1.1 or newer of my CWM build is required to use CWM Manager.
Flash counter
To reset the flash counter to 0, see the Triangle Away thread.
OTA's
Since v1.5, flashing OTA updates is supported directly using this recovery. You should however be aware that said OTA will most likely re-install stock recovery and remove this one. Furthermore, it may keep doing so every time you boot. CF-Root v6.3 (and newer) will try to disable this, it is advised you flash that. Just reflashing this CWM recovery will likely not help.

Recovery installed successfully.
But when I run ROM Manager, it says that I don't have any CWM installed. For example, if I choose the option "Copy current ROM", it issues the following message: "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing!. Install the recovery through ROM Manager first."
Follow original thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380325
First I’d like to thank everyone for all their work so far with the Verizon S4 rooting and modding. I wouldn’t be writing this if I didn’t have so much info online already. I’m standing on the shoulders of giants. Hehehe.
Here is what I ended up doing:
1) To start, download all these (ODIN, Recovery.pit File, VZWS4 root .zip, SafeStrap.apk, ME7 modules):
http://ge.tt/3ywGajs?c
2) And Stock S4 recovery .tar.MD5 here (if you need to reflash back to stock, or to unbrick)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8owp4iT4wQnUFdVaGp4czFmWUE&usp=sharing
3) Install Android Terminal Emulator on your phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
4) Format your SD card to exFAT using your computer.
5) Extract the RootForVZWS4.zip to your SDcard (DO NOT put it in any other folders, it must be extracted on the SD top level). Then put the SDcard back into the phone.
6) Enable Developer Mode on your phone.
7) Check USB debugging in Developer Options.
8) Allow Unknown Sources under Security.
9) Open terminal emulator and type exactly what is shown:
cd /mnt/extSdCard <-Note: there is a space after cd
./pwn
./script.sh
If you’re like me, even though you may see “Permission Denied” in a few lines, your phone is rooted. This is OK. You're rooted when you see the " $ " turn into a " # "
10) Install SafeStrap.apk from your SDcard to get the bootloader.
11) Run SafeStrap from your Apps Drawer, then choose Install Recovery (this will allow you to boot up and enter SafeStrap where you can back up your stock ROM, and install custom ROMs from your SDcard).
12) Restart and you should see a new Boot Screen – hit menu to enter Recovery
13) Backup your phone! Save to SD card!
14) Add custom ROMs to your SDcard and flash them with SafeStrap
15) Flash ME7 modules.zip
16) Wipe cache and dalvik
17) Fix permissions
18) Reboot and enjoy
*****If you brick your phone, or want to go back to stock*****
1) Enter/boot to ODIN mode (phone NOT connected to computer).
2) Plug your phone into your computer.
3) Open ODINv3.07.
4) Make sure ODIN finds your phone (Top left box will be blue with your phone ID).
5) Click the big PIT button, and find the “SCH-I545.pit” file you downloaded earlier to your computer.
6) Click the big PDA button, and find the .tar.md5 file you downloaded earlier to your computer.
7) When ODIN has finished checking the files, hit START. Wait a long time, then when your phone reboots, and the program says PASS in green, you’re back to stock.
Please let me know if any links don’t work. Hopefully you all can follow this long post.

To flash back to stock....
Click the big "PIT" button, and browse for the "SCH-I545.pit" file
Click the big "PDA" button, and browse for the "COMBINATION.....tar.md5" file
ODIN will think for a minute.... then when the message reads <OSM> Leave CS... hit start
I should probably add that this ODIN flash will remove ROOT and SafeStrap too. The phone will be back to complete 100% Samsung/Verizon stock.
In SafeStrap, I've also wiped the Stock Rom slot, and installed Scotts Clean Rom there.... and it worked (Clean Rom v.1.6.0, Clean Rom Patch v.1.6.5, ME7-modules, Fix Permissions, wipe cache/dalvik)
I want to go back to stock rom. So I downloaded a zip file of the firmware.
Please give me the detailed steps to flash the rom without bricking it. My externel sdcard is unable to mount in CWM.
Any kind of help will be much appreciated.
thank you.

2. Open Odin3 (Run As Administrator).
3.Shut down your phone than put your device in download mode. To do so, press Vol-Down And Home And Power Button all together and when it vibrates release Power (It might not work in first time,so try it three four time before posting again)
Button. You should have a triangle with an android janitor while it's saying downloading.
4. You should see a blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying Added. It means that your device is ready to be flashed!
5. Go into the PDA section and select your .tar file.
6. Dont check any option (F.reset time and Auto reboot are checked by default if not than check them).
7. Now click Start.
8. When it's finished, it should say that it's done with a green box and your device should reboot by itself
Good luck:good:
Thanks for your concern but i don't have the .tar file so i'm unable to flash it via ODIN. Can you give me the instruction to flash .zip file through CWM recovery. And what should i do if my external sd is unable to mount?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To flash through CWM you dont need external SD card. You can just copy the file in to Internal SD and flash it.
And for installing stock firmware, you cant just simply do it via CWM, you have to go for Odin only.
For this you need to download your original firmware from sammobile or in xda forums you can find it. Take a research, the above post will help.
