i have a motorola atrix 4g from at&t and i want instal a rom for europe(with option for 2G,and option for data conection),
what rom can i use and instructions?
thanks
Did you search around the forum already?
i found something with csrom,but no instructions for instal
I think you need to do some more searching and reading. And by "some more" I mean "a LOT more".
"Something with csrom"? You could've at least read up about what it even is.
Word of advice: the phone is not your windows PC made for dummies, you don't install things here by simply starting an EXE file and clicking "Next" a few times. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, it's way too early for you to be looking at ROMs.
However, I want to applaud you for at least opening the thread in the right section. Too many people can't even get that right.
if you want to help me with some real answers is ok,if not please don't post with some like "However, I want to applaud you for at least opening the thread in the right section. Too many people can't even get that right".
thanks
Rom 2g selectable
If you are rooted and have custom recovery flash Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 there is a stable version available for download on there site.

That was the help... Shame you don't realize it. Sorry if you got offended by that, but that was for your own good.
If you get stuck at some point while flashing, I'll be more than glad to offer advice. However, I won't ever serve things for you on a silver plate because you couldn't be bothered to search and read. "Give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you'll keep him fed the rest of his life." In other words, you'll get far more benefits from searching and reading and learning on your own than from me serving you numbed down steps and procedures. Especially with this huge amount of threads already explaining everything you could possibly need.
i try to unlock bootloader with puding and rsd lite and now my phone is bricked,
when start the phone on the screen apear:
SVF:105:1:2
failed to boot 0x1000
no os detected,going to rsd mode in 5 seconds.
press any key to stop cont down
avalable modes are:
there is 14 mode
and the last line say: curent chioce is mode:rds
starting fastboot protocol support
i don't know what can do to solve that error
the phone have 2.3.6 version
See, this is exactly what I was trying to prevent by telling you to go and read more. But you wouldn't listen. So now you have a brick. Congratulations.
Luckily this should be fixable, but YOU NEED TO READ MORE. After you're done reading, you can try this (use options 3).
thanks,now phone work with same vesion 2.3.6, and is unlocked,now can i instal any custom firmware?
No.
Did you read up like I told you? Doesn't seem like you did.
At the very least, go through the posts in this thread again. I already mentioned what you need to flash.
i read but i don"t understand so good(maibe my english is bad) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 i understand can be flash with rsd but another member post in my tread to flash cyanogedMod in recovery,here i'm confused.

Ok you used that link, it provided you with an unlocked bootloader. Now with that and cwm installed. You can go to the development thread and download a rom. Persay, http://goo.im/devs/Th3Bill/MIUIus/Atrix/MIUI.us.Olympus_2.9.29_Aroma_Signed_Th3Bill.zip
now install that zip from cwm "recovery". And follow directions. That should give you an idea on how most these newer compiled Roms work. (Newer compiled roms all now have aroma or are like kitchen sink (project).
if you need more help just keep asking questions. Worst you can do is bootloop and flash something else.
Edit: fyi : root is nothing like the bootloader, or cwm. Root is inside the rom, you will find almost every rom HAS root in it.
Now if you flash a rom, before you do that... backup your things as you will loose text, call logs, application data, contacts, etc.
fthanks to all for help.

NO!!!!!
Uggh!
Does nobody here read what's been said before?!
CWM recovery that comes with the automatic unlocker is TOO OLD. You won't be able to flash any recent ROM using that.
You need to flash a newer recovery. I recommend RomRacer's CWM-based recovery.

I'm to HTC and rooting a phone. Wanted to know how hard it is to root and what is a good safe rom to go with for my first try. Thxs, any help would be useful
Since your new, might I suggest the search button? Your exact question has been asked a few times before.

It's not hard at all. I suggest you read a lot before you do anything though. There are several guides in the dev section and you would do yourself a favor to read all of them as well as the replies in the thread. And read the entire thread of any ROM you are thinking of flashing. List of guides, roms, kernels etc here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425091
First thing to do is check if you have the update or not. You'll want it before you unlock and root. Go into Settings > About phone > More and see if your baseband is 0.95.00.1118r, 0.95.00.1223r and your software should be 2.x. I don't have the exact number because I went with a ROM that is based on the build before the OTA. If your baseband matches the above you should have the update and are ready to unlock.
Follow the instructions here to unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20780879#post20780879
Once you are unlocked you will want to flash Amon Ra, a custom recovery, which will let you make backups and flash stuff easier and allow you to root.
Get that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679
Put that img file in the same folder you used for unlocking.
Boot your phone into bootloader by shutting down, pull the battery and put it back, hold volume down + power until the white bootloader screen comes up. Select fastboot, connect it to your pc and use the following command:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Once that is flashed, select bootloader, then recovery. Navigate to the developer menu in recovery and install su. Now you are rooted. I would make a nandroid in recovery at this point and label it as stock rooted so you always have this to go back to should you have any problems.
Then pick a ROM and the instructions for flashing that will be in the thread. I would stick to GB until you are more comfortable then you can try ICS. ICS ROMs are still a bit buggy and don't have everything functioning perfectly so read up before you flash any of them.
Ineffabilis is a good ROM that I've used. People like CleanRom and Nils Business Sense. You should just read the threads and see what they offer and pick one. You can always try another one afterwards.

^ This. I'm all for answering questions and everything, but it's annoying when people don't even try to search for the answer themselves. But there is always someone that will answer their question... So the cycle will go on.
I agree one should do there own research, but rooting can be a little overwhelming to someone that is new to it. Its ok to ask for a little guidance.

The point to be made is to ask in one of the threads that was already created(and found via search). I can honestly say that it doesn't matter either way to me. A little forum etiquette would be nice though.
I have the following:
Samsung-SGH-I777
2.3.6
I777UCKK6
2.6.35.7
GingerBread.UCKK6
I have spent a lot of time reading XDA and other Android Boards hoping I could find a pretty straightforward way to get control of my phone (su access?). I want to get rid of apps that T put on and I also want to be able to hotspot my phone. But I really want to understand what I am doing. Every thread seems to assume a level of knowledge I just don't think I have. I'm tempted to jump in but feel like I'll then just be a poster saying HELP BRICKED MY PHONE.
When I come across a youtube or pdf that looks promising - it invariably has comments associated with it like: Oh, if you upgraded to 2.3.6 watch out.....or, I did this and now my wifi doesn't work.
Here is my question - can anyone point me to a thread or website that really walks a novice through the basics like the difference between a Rom and a kernel, how the SD card works etc.
And certainly if someone can point me to a solid root procedure for my phone (see above) please feel free.
Thanks for listening

Sorry man, That level of knowledge you speak of, is what you need. If you cant find the info, dont root your phone.
We dont hold hands here, there is plenty of info around. Find it and put it to use.
If you searched for everything your looking for, you'd find your answers.
Its obvious that you HAVE NOT spent anytime looking for the answers you seek.
Good luck peter.
Like what was said above, getting the information for all these things is really simple.
Read the stickies.
All of the warnings and disclaimers are tacked onto the instructions because people don't want you to blame them if you don't follow directions or if something that works for someone else doesn't work for you.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am using the AT&T network.

It is really hard to brick your phone following the instructions here.
As long as you don't flash anything outside the AT&T Galaxy S2 Forums.
Id recommend Creepy's guide, Ive used this myself and can vouch for it. Avoid (no offense meant) using Zedomax's method to avoid the headache of breaking wifi and trying to get it back. and READ and RE READ before starting the process.
enjoy your soon to be freed phone
I very strongly agree with the advice to follow creepyncrawly's guide. Taking the time to read, understand and follow it will make the process easy and save you a lot of headaches. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification, but read, read and then read some more can't be stressed enough. Take it from a fellow novice.
I will continue to read and take the plunge soon. Definitely look into Creepy's guide.
Thanks to all that chimed in without lecturing.....

That's an OK summary of firmware, but the use of the word ROM as a generic term for firmware needs a little explanation.
A ROM, or read-only memory, is a computer memory chip that has machine executable code built into it when it is manufactured. The code can not be changed. Later models of the chip were programable, and were called PROM, or programable read-only memory which can be programed once, and ePROM, or erasable programable read-only memory, which can be reprogrammed. These type of chips were used in the earliest micro computers, up until current computers, to accomplish the first step in the boot-up process.
Smart phones do not have a ROM or similar memory chip. They use NOR, P-SRAM and/or One-NAND, forms of non-volatile flash memory. The Galaxy series uses NAND memory to store the firmware. The iPhone uses PSRAM.
The use of the term ROM to refer to the firmware which contains the operating system for the phone is merely a convention, but one which has a huge amount of traction, so much so that we all use the term. There are some who would like to see the term ROM disappear in favor of the term firmware, but that is unlikely.

Moving to Q&A
All i did to root my sgs2 was get the proper drivers on pc (kies installs them i believe?). Downloaded odin 1.85 and any kernel that has cwm (i used siyah). put the phone in download mode (lots of places tell you how to do this). Put the kernel in the pda spot in odin. And flash.
Now you have a rooted phone with cwm (if all went right).
then you just download your favorite rom (i used serendipity 9.4) and place on sd card. Boot to recovery. Wipe cache/dalvik cache and factory wipe. Then flash your rom.
That's how i did it any way
Must be something in the water...

The bolded statement is inaccurate. If you followed this sequence exactly as stated, you were not rooted until you installed serendipity.
Noob to noob
The information creepy posted is the way to go. I used his superoneclick with root to get out of a failed clockwork mod loop back to stock with root.
The post was I777UCKH7OCD Root no BL.7z. This will give you clockwork mod recovery from which you can do further modifications.
The program is a 7zip file. READ about 7Zip. Follow the instructions.
Practice getting your phone into download mode (dry runs).
Don't panic.
After reading if you still have questions, read some more. All the information is here.
When you sucessfully root, look in the dev section and read about the custom roms/firmware and see how they operate, problems, successes before choosing.
Personally I like the AOKP by Task, but it is all preferences.
Good luck, you can do it.
TeamWin Recovery Version: 2.5.0.0
I encrypted my device about two weeks ago. Today I tried flashing a new rom, which was Android 4.1.2. When it prompted me for my encryption password, I entered it correctly but it wouldn't accept it. I tried flashing another rom, which was 4.3, it accepted the encryption password but got bootlooped. My old device was on 4.3 to my belief. When I tried wiping /data in recovery it says it cannot mount /data. Help please?
Flash back to stock and decide if you want encryption or a device you want to flash.
That Won't Help.

So you used Odin and flashed your phone back to stock? No where in your post did you mention anything like that, or even allude to the fact that you flashed back to stock with Odin. If you want help, post better information, or figure it out yourself. Also, you can't have a device you want to be flash happy with on ROMs and an encrypted device. The two don't work, so you choose one or the other, not both.

This is why XDA annoys me. The "Recognized Developers" waste their time and other forum members time about how what they typed wasn't good enough for them. They could save a lot more time just asking questions that would help them understand the situation rather that be a nanny and tell the user how they didn't type up to their expectations, what they can do to make them satisfied, and then not respond for another 30 minutes.

You screwed yourself by saying I wasn't be helpful and to stop the sarcasm. You want help, don't bite the hand that feeds you. Flashing back to stock is a very simple process and well documented here and in other Samsung device forums. If you can't figure it out on your own, pay someone to do it for you, and then leave your phone stock. Rule 1 of modifying your phone should always be know how to recover, which you apparently do not. And posts like the two you've now made in this thread are not how you get help, and will most certainly turn everyone else that may have offered it away as well, since you're apparently too good to do any work on your own and criticize people when they aren't spoon feeding you.

:cyclops:hi guys, first of all thank you because you have saved me many times in the past just by reading through the forums. but this time
nothing seems to help me, i have a htc one m8 from sprint, and i tried to root it and install a custom room. And i did rooted now my device
shows tempered and bootloader is unlocked. I used twrp for the custom recovery later i tried to install android revolution one 4.0
and did not work but not only that i erase the partition of the phone so i soft bricked and my phone end up stuck on the boot loader not even
twrp will work :crying:and i try to repair the partition by using some comands that i found, but my phone was not getting recognized by adb just fastboot.
After a day i try a different custom recovery philz. and that one worked so i was able to enter to recovery, and i don't know why but when im inside the recovery my phone gets recognize by adb. I try to repair the partition, but since i have to grant access on the phone is not able to finish. so i tried to install
different rooms such as viper, badseed and it goes through the set up, but when it finish it just gets stuck on the boot loader again. I been trying
to install the stock room but i haven't been able to find it, i found a link in many different forums but the links are broken i been dealing with this
issue for over 5 days and don't know what to do. i will really apreciate if someone cuold help me please forgive me if you don't understand me but
english is not my native lenguage, so i don't speak it very well. also i'm a noob on rooting so i may not know a lot by the way my phone is s-on. help will be
really appreciate.
If you are S-On, when flashing a rom, it will not be able to automatically flash the kernel (boot.img) unless it specifically states in the OP it does by the developers. Most of the time, you'll just need to extract the boot.img and place it in the folder you have fastboot, then when connected in bootloader / fastboot mode run this : fastboot flash boot boot.img
after you flash the rom. Just boot into it right after, flash, and the just type : fastboot reboot
Should be good to go. FYI : adb isn't intended to work in bootloader and fastboot doesn't work in recovery. Nothing wrong there.

Well, I definitely see a couple issues with that list...
The Viper 6.0.0 should be this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334294 Which is for the International M7.
The Bad Boyz rom you posted should be the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635051 - This is for the M7 version.
The BadSeed rom should be the one posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694471 - Also for the M7 (hence the M8 *PORT* in the title thread.
Now, HTC was stupid for giving the new phone the same name, I'll give you that, and XDA doesn't have it set to really filter well between the 2 forums, BUT stuff like the date posted could have been a give-a-way as well. But honest mistakes for sure. So, how to fix from here since your partitions are probably thoroughly hosed...? Hmm. Since I don't think there is an official Sprint RUU, that will be tricky. You will most likely need to get a hold of a very experienced HTC dev like the one's whose roms you were trying to use. The Viper, Bad Boyz, and BadSeed dev teams are all very good at most everything HTC. Another option is the developer : Captain_Throwback. He is very knowledgeable about HTCs from top to bottom and seems to be pretty helpful. Your casual helper will most likely not be able to provide as detailed help as you would need in this situation.

1 of 2 ways : post on a thread they have up, or click on their name on the left pane of the forum thread and it should give you options to Private Message the member. Keep in mind, many developers are busy people and some of them just ignore their PMs because they get so many for simple questions. Yours is certainly not gonna be the easiest fix. I would suggest to maybe start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696652

No problem! Don't let this scare you away from trying to mod your phone later on. Just use this as a learning experience about the importance of reading. Lots.

thank you for everything and i will keep trying also i have another htc one but the first generations i will mod it as well as soon as im done with this one jejeje
and believe me that i been reading for day trying to find a solution to my problem but hopefully soon with some help can be able to do it and if you want i can post and update in here of how finally i was able to fix it... thanks
First off, this should be posted in the Sprint M8 Q&A forum.
Next, I assume you have a stock nandroid, as that's the first thing everyone should do after getting a custom recovery installed on the device. So start by restoring that. If for some reason you don't have that, I believe there's one floating around in the "Stock ROM or any" thread in Sprint M8 General or Q&A.
Once you can boot up the device, you should be good to proceed to S-OFF and flash only ROMs specified for the Sprint M8 variant.
My pleasure. It's how I like to give back to the community. I have a ridiculous amount of experience with everything root, recovery, rom, mods, themes, apps, etc related after modding 100s of phones and tablets, but these type of issues require the next tier of experience when you're getting into semi uncharted territory due to how new the device is and that HTC hasn't released the official update utility for it. But yea, you should post back, just in case another member runs into the same problem and you can help point them in the right direction.

I'm not sure I understand. What does deleting all data have to do with your backup? Are you saying your backup got deleted? In that case, do what I said and find the one I referred to and restore that.

He flashed 3 or 4 different roms that were for the M7 or not for his version of the M8. Pretty sure that the partitions are borked at this stage as properly flashing the correct M8 rom and fastboot flashing the boot.img has not gotten him out of trouble.

If restoring the above doesn't work, you can try this:
- Relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
- Download signed firmware zip from here. Flash via fastboot (fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip firmware.zip, fastboot reboot-bootloader)
- Unlock bootloader via HTCDev.
- Download TWRP Recovery from here and fastboot flash (fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8_whl.img)
- Download Stock Rooted ROM from here and flash via TWRP.
In the procees of rooting, I had flashed CWM using Odin using recommened settings and it passed and rebooted to ROM(stock) itself. Then I rebooted to recovery mode but what I could see is the stock system recovery instead of the flashed CWM, and I know it was overwriiten by stock recovery by the system itself. I again did this flashing via ODIN but this time with UNCHECKED AUTO-REBOOT, and maually tried to reboot to recovery with button combinations, but instead rebooted to ROM itself. What should I do now to root my device?
Looking forward for your humble reply.
Thanks in advance ;P

You can't have custom recovery with stock firmware, it will restore stock recovery on each boot.
Root doesn't require custom recovery, go read the sticky threads in general forum, search for cf auto root.
I'm don't want just root, I want to flash ROM also.

For your information what I want is not just root but want to flash ROMS through recovery. Since the method I used isn't successful, can I flash recovery after going through CF AutoRoot process? If Yes, how to do it bro?

Root your phone with CF Auto Root
Download and flash a recovery with Rashr (You can donwload it from the PS)
And after this find a rom you want and install it with the recovery BUT always read the section on "How To Install It"
Galaxy S3 International
efeXTREME Lite Rom v5.1
Arter97 Kernel v4.0 beta 3
Finally done,
Read that, read this and all. Especially you boomboomer you have been harsh, I almost spend a whole day on rooting this device that's actually some matter of minutes. First of all let me make you clear that I have gone through each stickies particular to this device and followed the linked tutorials also finally I figured a way out of this stuffs and finally with CWM and ROOT. A little advice from my part, for the sake of getting THANKS just don’t get your head into as many threads as possible. Since I was having deep knowledge about rooting and stuffs (not much about SAMSUNG stuffs), I was able to figure it out. What about if I was a complete noob? Your words should have left me in no hope.
As you leave notes always under your words about what is XDA becoz of noobs,
REMEMBER YOU WERE NOT BORN GEEK
No harsh feelings my friend what you felt by reading this is what I felt when I read yours. Chill bro.

"brief" unequals "harsh", that's all there is to it. This kind of talk is exactly what booboomers sig is intended towards. You discourage the people that wanna help. They tell you where you can find the info you need and you argue about semantics. Not everybody has the time to write a nice novel for everybody asking a question that has been aswered before again and again. I for one have a life that's not electronic. Sometimes less is more and in your case "less" was all boomboomer had time for. So please...
