I have a question :
how do i change my custom rom ?
i have had installed rainbow mod 1.3 on my lumia 710 about 5 months back
now rainbow mod 2.0.1 is available based on wp 7.8 , and i wanna install it .
so basically my question is whether i have to restore my phone to original firmware or whether i can install the new custom rom over my older custom rom using the nokia lumia downloader ???
please tell me :good:
u can instal new custom rom with lumia downloader but for safe backup first

You don't have to uninstall anything!
I had the Same on my lumia 800. I was on rainbowmod 1.4 and yesterday i flashed to rainbowmod 2.0.1
You just have to connect in osbl Mode and flash The New rom with lumia downloader. I had No Problems this way. But of course, all your data will bei lost after flashing.

I got galaxy I5503 with eclair 2.1 and i still got a stock rom. I just want to upgrade my g5 to froyo 2.2 via my g5 itself not using any kind of help from pc,Is it possible..???
if yes than plz answer the query cuz im very eager to try new custom roms.
Stock rom?
Hey dude.I think you cant do that without using a PC,as you need at least to flash clockwork mod.And one more thing,as you are saying that you are on stock rom please visit the below link and backup your rom.
You need to get ClockWorkMod on your phone first. To do that, you need a pc anyway.....
you will need your pc... for official updates or unofficial ones.
for official froyo you will need KIES and download thru it... if you want to run CM7 or any other rom you will also need Odin to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and then you can install any other G5 rom you want.

also select the rom and flash leve till you c pass
HOPE I HELPED
Imaginary ICS is based on 2.3.6 - He edited the build.prop file to make it say 4.0.4.
You cant flash a backup of a stock ROM via CWM 4/5 as the ROM uses the ext4 filesystem. You'll need to flash via ODIN (stock rom from sammobile.com) or convert filesystem back to rfs and use a backup.
ODIN

Have you unlocked your bootloader? I suspect not. This is what flashtools is referencing.
Custom roms and mods that work on stock kernels can be installed on rooted devices.
Some mods/roms make such significant changes to Sony's builds that a new kernel is required (MIUI, CM, AOKP). To install a custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader.
You may read the instructions provided by the author of the rom., to flash kernels, you need to unlock your bootloader. Seek and you'll see.
Is that right? lol

Now you’ve flashed one ROM on the Ray I can’t see you stopping
It doesn’t matter what WE recommend because your experience of which is the best ROM may be different to ours.
Try them all – I usually change mine once a month. But in my humble opinion, the most cutting edge, fully featured, experimental yet suitable for daily use ROM is PAC. My little Ray runs smoother than my wife’s Galaxy S2 and has so much more swagger – to borrow from AOKP.
so you recommend PAC rom ? actullay i want to stay with my stock based smooth (ASOP) ROM. if you know something then pls recommend me
Hi everyone!!
I bought a S2. Installed villain Rom 3.0 with provided kernel. Now I want to install a custom ICS/JB rom.I searched on youtube and other XDA threads and found that I need to upgrade the bootloaders and other stuff and need to install ics through ODIN. Is that correct? or I should just download a custom ICS/JB and install it thru CWM as normal?
Yes, just install like normal. Or you can upgrade boot loader, phone, pda, csc. So do what you want.
Send form Galaxy S2. But I don't have it :-\

I suggest you leave the bootloader as it is if you dont know what you are doing
Just pick a rom and follow the install instructions.
Hi all, I've a rooted XT910 with system version 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU. I've read several thread but I'm a little bit confused and I've some question :
1) There is a lot of Custom ROM, some of those requires different kernel version. When I flash a different kernel I flash the kernel of every rom ? Also the kernel of Stock ROM ( I've installed SafeStrap ) ? How do I install only the kernel that I need ?
2) Can I install any OTA from the recovery mode ? Can I install again 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU from the recovery ? Or Do I have to use RSD Lite ?
Sorry for the noob questions.
Cheers,
Campo

1. No you cant, you can only have one of the kernels
2. You need to install the OTA using the stock recovery, rsd lite is not need because you are already on the firmware

He means that you already have the correct firmware version the OTA will work with, just remember that if you want to apply the update and keep root you must follow the procedure as described in the update post. Don't know what/if it will affect/work with Safestrap installed though ...
