Hi,to everyone:
so,i'm newb,and i dont leave in the us,and i'm a proud owner of a Droid Dna.
As i dont be on the us,i cant have na OTA update,so i'm stock 1.15
And i have a few questions,help:
1) I'm going to do the Unlock using the Supercid,and do the htcdev process.
flash a new recovery,and install superuser.Correct?
the questions are:
1) Doing the unlock,i can place a ROM even the stock rom (deodexed or other)?
2) The process will be: remove the boot.img from the rom zip file
flash it manually,and them place the rom.zip file on the phone and flash it in recovery.
I think that the rom will not have the new kernel,so i think that i have to install it manually,will i be unrooted?
In this Post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080200) it says that is the new update Rom,but does it have the original kernel,or i have to install it via recovery or manually??
Thanks for all the help you guys can give me!

1, I believe the answer is yes
2. In most cases, the boot.img is provided along with the rom as a separate download so no need of extraction. It has to be flashed using adb from your pc -usually right before you install the rom.
3. If you allow the ota update before you root you can not root, If after you've rooted and bootloader is unlocked, it will download but won't install-at least it did not for me. If you relock the bootloader and flash a to stock, I heard you can get the ota but you will not be able to unlock it again. Not sure on that part. Rumor says that this will get fixed soon but as f right now no.
Thanks

I have a phone on 4.1.57 running GreyBlur. The Android Version is 2.2.1
I haven't accepted any OTA updates, but I recently found out that Gingerbread is out.
What is the best way to go on about rooting the phone after the gingerbread update? Flash back to stock, then update, then root? If someone could point me in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated.
thank you.

Is RSD and CWM the same thing? I don't understand what these two are.
If I'm on 2.2.2, stock w/ root and side-loading enabled, do I skip #1?
why isn't pudding used in any of this?
yes skip #1
RSD is a flashing tool...
CWM is used for flashing too but it's much safer then RSD...
in order to unlock your phone's bootloader u have to do one step using RSD here is a pretty good video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H02N4p9vEg0 on how to unlock ur bootloader...
on my previous post...2nd link is referring to pudding is it not?

3) I already have Tenfar's CWM.
4) Just choose a ROM that's updated with Gingerbread and Flash?

there are 2 versions of cwm. one for locked and one for unlocked. after you unlock you have to fastboot flash recovery to get the good CWM then you can flash roms properly.
RSD the 1.83 pudding
Fastboot oem unlock to unlock bootloader
fastboot flash recovery to get the unlocked CWM
CWM recovery to install roms
As long as you have not OTA to gingerbread then RSD is ok but not recommended. If youhave the OTA gingerbread then rsd will hard brick your device if you try to go back to an older build.

Hi all
I hope there's someone can help to better understand flashing HC ROM from rooted GB stock ROM.
And so I read globatron ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758) :
If you are already S-OFF on gingerbread, or ran *this* procedure previously skip to Part 2.
Click to expand...

SO I skip to PART 2:
I assume myself did the below since mine is rooted:
Rooted
Busybox
Secure flag turned off on the boot image
Stock recovery replaced by CWM

1. So I just connect to PC, double click ARUWizard.exe and it's done for stock Honeycomb?
Let's say I want to do install custom ROM.
I download:
3G-Wifi: f1a04839f7b187887c77b4ab552cc2fb HC-3G-light.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here's my question. Why do I need to download HC-3G-light.zip?
I go to one of the HC custom ROM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409296
I read the instruction:-
Instructions:
1. Make sure you are running the correct Radio & Hboot, Follow GLOBATRON Guide or Paul Obrien Guide
2. Boot into recovery
3. Nandroid/Backup Current ROM
4. Flash Cool_ROM.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Can I just download the custom ROM, boot into recovery, backup current ROM, and then flash the Cool_ROM without using PC?
Is it because I need to flash using HC-3G-light.zip RUU (I assume there's ARUWizard.exe inside the HC-3G-light.zip) first before flashing the using method 2 as below:-
Method 2: Using bootloader - NOTE I strongly recommend using method 1.
Rename the downloaded file PG41IMG.zip
Transfer the file to the root of your SD card
Reboot to hboot, which will detect and install the update.
Note it will require two passes to complete the upgrade due to hboot change
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At the end, it says:
If you used the light image now restore your nandroid backup or flash your custom ROM now - then you are finished.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is this part that I use the custom ROM that I want?
Thanks guys. I got confused here with flashing ROM using RUU and flashing ROM using CWM...
If you do the full s off aru wizard you can flash roms freely without the light package. Disregard flashing boot.img if you have s off

Please pardon my noobness.
The last time I did it is to s-off, install CWM and root only. I still using stock GB. So I didn't do any ARUWIZARD.exe thingy.
So.......
What is the first step I do? I did download the light package and I didn't see any ARUWIZARD in it. I guess I need to download the big file?
If on s off gingerbread, run the aru wizard. You will then be on honeycomb with s off. At that point in time you can freely flash honeycomb and ics roms

I just used casual to root and unlock my note 2.i have root and it booted up on twrp but I want to check if I am unlocked bootloader. Is there a way I can check? In my about phone my status says normal
If the bootloader was not unlocked it would overwrite any changes you make to recovery and system files. So as long as you can reboot without losing TWRP or any custom ROM you've installed you're golden.
Unlocked Bootloader?

It's been a while for me since I rooted my phone, and I don't know if I unlocked my bootloader either... I have never installed a custom ROM, I only rooted so I could tether. But now that the new OTA update keeps trying to install itself, I need to fix this because it's extremely annoying. I read a thread that said I need to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578458, but it said that I need my bootloader to be unloacked, and therein lies my question...
Am I thinking this through the correct way?

That is the correct thread. Easy way to check is to boot into recovery and see if there is a custom recovery installed. Power down your device, hold down the volume up + verizon button, then power up. Hold volume up + verizon button until you see the galaxy note 2 splash screen. If it boots into TWRP than you're still good. But you will probably want to update to the latest version of TWRP before you go installing any new roms.

Thanks Jiggabitties, I updated TWRP and downloaded official firmware.md5 file and the Mj9 DeOdex file to my pc. Should I transfer those files to the sd card in my phone and install from the TWRP menu? If so, I do the official firmware file first, right? Then the deodex...?

The firmware update is done in ODIN and the ROM is done in TWRP.

Yes start by transferring the files to your SD card.
The firmware package from that thread is meant to be flashed via ODIN. If you are not comfortable in flashing firmware via ODIN then use this in it's place... https://www.dropbox.com/s/lz29kvrvzfttfpu/MJ9ModemParams.zip This is a TWRP flashable version of the firmware.
Place the MJ9 Deodex and the modemparam.zip I linked to above on your SD card. Flash the ROM file first, then the modemparam.zip. Then clear cache/ dalvik and reboot. That should be all you need to do. If when you boot you don't get service, then you will need to go ahead and flash the firmware vid ODIN. Some users have no issues with the flashable version that I linked above, some users do.
Really didn't want to make a new thread about this but honestly people just jumped to conclusions without being helpful in my previous thread.
Long story short I'm trying to manually get 4.4.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664561

I installed CWM. It said to install a superuser tool so I installed SuperSU.
"You're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead." was the next line. <-- I saw that message. Installed a kernel that he recommended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900
After reboot I get SuperSU error: There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device etc.
Can anyone help me get the proper SU Binary installed? Not a beginner to rooting as I've had had several previous phones before. Never encountered something as annoying as this.
On 4.3, 3.17.502.3.
I had the same issue when I installed 4.4.2 on my international One.
What I done to root was;
- downloaded SuperSU v1.80 zip from here.
- download SuperSu from the Play Store
- in SuperSU, select the option to install binaries via TWRP/CWM. (If it doesn't reboot to recovery, manually enter recovery)
- flash the supersu v1.80 zip and reboot
- open SuperSu and install the binaries using the normal option.
That then enabled my root. I'd tried quite a few different variations and this was the only method that worked for me.

You seem very confused about the whole rooting process ... what was the point in flashing the stock recovery ? Are you trying to install the OTAPkg.zip ?
what Rom are you wanting to install and whats flashing stock recovery have to do with it ?
Well, if you looked at the thread I linked, you'll see that it says to flash a stock recovery file in order to install the OTAPkg.zip

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
and yes it is necessary to have stock recovery to take an OTA, but your post didn't mention taking OTA it said you had no SU installed.
to get into stock recovery
boot to bootloader
choose recovery
wait for black screen, hold vol up and then power
you will see something about sdcard fail .. ignore it till the menu comes up
then choose to flash OTAPkg.zip from sdcard

I have US model and I've unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, rooted.
I want to install rom update that was just released last week. It obviously doesn't flash in TWRP. I also can't unzip it without corruption errors. Redownloaded the ROM multiple times from ASUS.
I assume to update stock rom with an unlocked Bootloader we'll need stock recovery??

Hey guys,
I need some help. I installed the apk to unlock the bootloader and my phone was fine, but after flashing twrp and installing the zip for supersu via twrp, my phone has been stuck on the boot screen. Now it says "The dm verity is not started in enforcing mode and may not work properly" when booting up. I can get back into twrp, and I've tried wiping the dalvik/art cache, system, data, and cache, but my phone still won't boot up. It's stuck on the ASUS boot screen, and I have no idea what to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No. The last update WW_V11.41.87.2 is not available for my OTA. I can download the zip though and flash. I haven't actually attempted to do this yet. I plan to flash it today. Not sure if I'll be able to do it through twrp, or if I'll have to flash back the stock recovery first.
So does this change the bands available with it? I have the WW ROM but want the additional bands the US ROM has.
why I only have system.new.dat where can i get the system.img? thank you
How did you get on with flashing the update... did you have to revert to stock recovery and if so which did you use? Thanks for your help with this.
Can I ask where/how you got the stock ROM? I'd like to make sure that these are updated/available somewhere for people on this device to use as needed, and ASUS seems to only have the updates on their website.
