Custom ROM
Hi, I know that this is probably a question on a lot of people's minds, but any idea about an ETA for a custom ROM?

Stickied
OK, I'll stick this one for now. It looks useful for basic needs. Keep up the effort, mate :fingers-crossed:
Ok, q #1:
-How do I get flashplayer?
I tried too, can't on chrome, people say It's available on firefox, but didn't work either... So I don't know, sorry.

it should work for the stock browser. You could always try puffin or dolphin!

hi, could someone please explain what AOSP invertion is?

It's the mod in Sense revolution. It'll make your ROM look like the standard Android experience, and it will theme some apps.

Debranding
Hi, I have a Desire X with T-mobile branding, originally from Germany. I have rooted a Sensation before which should make me 1% less noob I guess... but I still have some questions.
Is it correct that I can debrand the phone by installing the original rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941895?
Do I need to root the phone before I can do that?
Thanks.

You mean getting rid of T-Mobile bloatware or SIM-unlocking? If you want to get rid of bloatware then just flash the RUU... If you want to SIM-unlock you need S-Off to flash a new CID, and there still isn't a method to S-Off this phone.

It's not sim-locked for some reason, it worked out-of-the-box with another provider. I just want to get rid of the customizations (like the android browser which is re-branded as "web 'n' walk"), the bloatware and the T-mobile splash screen when booting or switching off the phone.
So if you say "just flash the RUU", does that simply mean downloading the latest .exe (1.18.401.1) from that other thread, running it on a Windows PC and following the instructions?
Yeah, that should work just fine.

Well, first you have to plug in tje phone using USB...
A quick update... I haven't managed to flash the rom (yet)
I have seen many different errors tonight, like [170] USB connection error (caused by HTC drivers that could not be installed correctly), [131] Customer ID error (I got around that by unlocking the BL), and finally the [155] Unknown error. I tried both RUU's, software number 1.14.401.1 and 1.18.401.1. I'm afraid that may have to do with an incorrect CID (mine is T-MOB101) or with the software number which doesn't match my phone (1.14.111.1).
Anyway, the phone isn't bricked, so nothing was lost (except some time) but I'd love to hear if you have any other suggestions.

Hi,
I recently upgraded to this device from the EVO3D. I have a question with regards to rooting.
With the EVO, every time there was a major OTA update, there were always firmware/radio updates to flash through the bootloader with fastboot in addition to the ROM base itself.
Does this exist with Samsung phones or is everything contained within the ROM package itself? I have a phone with 2.3.4 and was going to try a 2.3.6 ROM but didn't want to leave any important updates behind.
I have read through all the stickies and page through the general as well as the Q& A section and did not see it addressed.
Thanks for the help.
Obviously anyone who wants to chime in is more than welcome.

Basically, anything is independently flashable. Sometimes there will be interdependencies between components, but not usually.
1) Right now there is NO reason to ever flash bootloaders - avoid it. Any CWM-flashable firmware in these forums does not include BLs. (This may change with ICS.)
2) Don't flash anything with a .PIT in Odin - it'll hose your device.
3) You can mix and match any radio firmware with any system firmware. (At least for Gingerbread. ICS is an unknown.) It's not like many HTC devices, where the radio acted as a bootloader for the applications processor - on Samsungs, the AP bootloads the modem.
4) Older kernels can cause problems with newer firmwares. My latest releases should work with any Gingerbread firmware other than AOSP/CM7.
Thank you. I am a forever Noob.
With HTC the updates were always stripped of any bootloader updates to remain s-off. The remainder was always flashed through recovery or fastboot. I am trying to understand this wotld a little more. I have become very afraid of bootloaders from my time there.
I would assume the good people here will help guys like me if things change with ICS?

Yup. Any ICS update should contain clear instructions on if the bootloader situation changes. (Right now, there's no evidence of this.)
It is my opinion that anyone who provides a bootloader flash should always do it separately and make it clear under what circumstances the user should flash the BLs.
In general, be careful about flashing factory-originated firmware updates as these can include bootloaders. Almost anything here won't. (However, the first UCKK6 leaks did... Next time an I777 leak shows up we know how to remove the BLs though.)
One last question. You have been very helpful. If i use your kernel to get CWM onto the phone to avoid the flash counter, it will play nice with stock rooted 2.3.4?

This is by choice. Just by spending a little time reading the FAQ, looking through the stickies and perusing the forum in general would have probably prevented you from starting this thread. Always do a search before starting a new thread and whenever possible post to an already existing related thread rather than start a new one. No more newbie pass for you.

I mentioned above that I have / had searched. I did not find the same question asked. If I missed it, I apologize. It took me a few days to get the courage to post. I did not want to start a discussion and get 5 responses like yours (it seems that is the most common response people get when they ask questions).
Sometimes you have to ask a question in a way that makes sense to you to understand the answer. Otherwise what is the point of a Q& A section?

Yes, it should. You'll need to root your phone to install my kernel without the counter - either SuperOneClick (works for UCKH7) or my prerooted system image (flashing custom system images doesn't trigger the counter)

It certianly isn't to ask questions that can be answered with an investment in time and reading or that have been asked and asnwered already.
Here's a tip I and others give newbies looking for answers: During the initial period of looking/searching/reading, do NOT use your phone. Use a PC so you can see full pages and it will be easier to gather information. Tapatalk or the XDA app should be limited to making replies or casual reading of the forum, not as a way to research these often complex subjects.

Because you're posting in the wrong section. Post in the HTC Magic section and you'll likely get better responses. This section is only for discussing general Android stuff.
Also, you're phone is very old now and not many people use it anymore. So that's probably one other reason you aren't getting any replies.
Please dont be mad, im a noob. Link the easiest way to install custom rom on this device. I bought this phone in Norway so i guess its the international version. Are there supernexus 4.2.2 for this phone? Can I get EVERYTHING back to stock if something failes and I have to send it in to repair? What happened with my s2 was that powerbutton failed so I could not flash any other kernel or rom. I suck at rooting etc on android, because I think when I was jailbreaking my iphone back in the 3gs days, you could always get it to factory settings with plugging it to pc and do restore. Can I do this to this phone with a toolbox or something? Please post here I have to go now, will check this thread later.
Understanding everything and browsing this site is very hard to me, please understand. I have apex launcher so it looks like stock jellybean but its not so smooth as I want it to, so I think i have to install a custom rom. It must be stable and easy!
I'd love to help but you need to learn the forum rules before you start posting topics. Why don't you check out a few of the sticky threads first and you'll probably learn some new things about when and where to post these questions and heck you might even get many of your questions answered haha.
right first thing to do is read up on these forums on rooting then once you have completed that read again The golden rule to remember is NEVER wipe your DATA from recovery! other than that you should be safe :victory:
use this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995002 which as support for sideloading should you get into trouble.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand why you guys that are here and have full control can't link me a thread or something where this is discussed, and then I can post questions there. This place is so advanced so it's hard for us noobs to come in to the scene. I'm good to follow step by step guides and thats it Before I have followed guides on youtube because noone here could give me an answer, but I want to learn a little on how to probably do this because I'm scared to **** up my phone so I cant get it to stock again. I dont care if a rom fails or something, but i always want to come back to stock if you know!
There are guides in the development section of this forum. I suggest you look there as this is a self help forum.

Thanks, will check into it What roms are you all using?
edit: oh and please someone answer me this. If im gonna root-kernel-rom, what is the best way to backup so I can get back to the OS and kernel I have? I dont care about photos apps and sms, just want to go back to software if it fails.
is firmware the same as kernel?
Something is missing in your formula root-(Flash Recovery)-kernel-rom. And in the new Recovery you can do a backup and only there. You can go either for TWRP or CWM recovery.
And if future, if you say "Thanks", better hit a Thanks button under post than write it your reply
