Hey everyone, I know there are not many roms available atm but can anyone recommend a stable rom? im finally rooted and cant wait to get rid of this bloat! maybe i should have posted this in q&a lol anyways i have rage one Rom downloaded I might try that, no screenshots so yea. I'm going to wait for some feedback first (If I even get any lol)
ps this phone is sweeeeeeeeeet
Yes you should have posted this to the Q&A section. I would recommend the TrickDroid by Torxx. It's a great rom, great battery life and performance; everything works wonderfully. It is on the International HTC one forums but it's safe to flash on your AT&T variant without issues. Check it out

You can rid the stock ROM of bloatware very easily:
1) Use Titanium Backup to freeze all the garbage you don't want. This requires root which you are so you are good!
2) Go to Settings --> Apps and "Disable" all the crap you don't want. This works for people like me who have no interest in rooting.
There are some apps that can only be disabled / removed with root however.
Lol. Cool heading there now thanks!

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!
TWRP
1. Wipe cache
2. Wipe Dev. Cache
3. Factory restore
4. Wipe system
5. flash rom
CWM
1. Wipe cache partition
2. Wipe system partition
3. flash rom
Wouldnt hurt to wipe the cache again. Also you can export the boot.img file and flash that in fastboot if you have any issues booting after doing the above steps. To do that just unzip the rom and grab the boot.img and follow the guide on flashing boot in fastboot. It should not require this step

No in TWRP under the WIPE tab there is a factory defaults or factory restore I forget the term it uses.
I guess it would be easier to know which recovery you flashed?
You should do a backup, then wipe data and cache and dalvik. Then flash and setup.

I have successfully flashed the Omega ROM to my S3 using a combo of Odin and then CWM. It is running fine but I have been advised to upgrade to a BLFB or CM9 based ROM as I am currently using one based on ALEx and it's more of a battery drainer.
However, I am anxious to do this without first knowing if I need to flash it some other state first before upgrading. Or can I just download, backup, factory reset/cache reset and go ahead and flash the new ROM/Baseband etc?
If there is a step to step guide for this I'd appreciate the link.

Either way thank you guys. Both thanks coming your way.
I have an AT&T Note that I rooted using the Odin method. I was running stock ICS and I know the root worked because I was able to install Google Now and it worked fine.
So I decided I wanted to try a different ROM. I just wanted to install bigfau's cleaned up stock rom found here. I put the zip file on my phone, booted into CWM, did a wipe, found the zip, said it installed fine and then I rebooted. At boot it just sits at the Samsung screen. I let it sit for 30 minutes, still nodda.
So I grab odin and flash back to stock ICS. Use the same method to root and I try a different ROM. This time the Pure Stock ICS from bigfau, same problem.
Odin back to stock, root, and I try parandoidandroid found here - same problem.
Do it all again and try a ROM from another site called HYFR Only One, which is a SGS3 based rom. Same deal.
The only thing I can get it to do is ODIN to stock. Am I missing something?
(I have another rooted galaxy note that I do not have any issues with flashing roms but it was already rooted when I got it.)

Rooted has nothing to do with flashing a ROM, having CWM or TWRP will give you the cap to flash a ROM.
I have used these Recovery types for flashing:
Touch CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
After you have CWM of some type ensure you are doing a clean wipe, this is how I perform my wipes:
1. Download to sdcard
2. Reboot to CWM-based Recovery
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe Cache partition
5 Go into advanced> Wipe Dalvik Cache
6. Go into> Mounts & Storage
a. Format /data
b. Format /system
c. Format /cache
Install rom & Reboot
After the first boot up let it sit for a few min to build...then do your set ups.
btw there is a Q&A section.

I apologize if I did not make this clear but I have Rom Manager installed and CWM was updated to the latest version. I would reboot into CWM, do a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik caceh, install rom and reboot. It would just sit at the samsung screen. I did not go into mounts and storage and do that but I will now. The process I use on my AT&T note is the same process I used on my Rogers note and I am able to install any ROM i want on my rogers note.
I have flashed roms probably over 100 times since my samsung captivate. I just didn't know if the note had another step involved. Like S-Off on HTC phones for example.
I have been using the standard version of cwm but I am trying the touch version now. Will update.
Same problem. I am uploading a video to youtube now. I will post in a minute or so.
did you check if bootloader is unlocked?

Animatechnica - It is my understanding that the bootloader is not locked on the Galaxy Note. I have not seen anything about unlocking the bootloader in any thread on the i717.
elry567 - do not have busy box installed - never saw anything requiring it to be installed. I will try that as well.
Well this time I got a status 7 error in CWM which can be a lot of different things. I am up to date on CWM, the rom I know works for the galaxy note (I am running it on my other one AND I have seen video of it working on an AT&T branded Note) so I don't know. I did a google search on the error and everything I found does not seem to apply. It is really starting to piss me off. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the video, sorry about my cam skills but you get the gist. I took this video with a i717r that is running the rom I want to install on the phone in the video.
Are you entering recovery with the phone off then using the buttons, or flashing from rom manager?
You should be doing it by the button method.

Done both, doesn't seem to make a difference. I will definitely use the button method from here on out though.
Try using TWRP? It seems CWM doesn't want to work for you, so try using TWRP instead.

HOLY F&(%*&G $&!t twrp may have worked. I had to go full back to 100% stock with 3e recovery and 0 flash counter. Use a new root method, flash twrp via goo app and so far so good.
Seriously I do not know who you are but I could kiss you. I wonder why CWM wouldn't work? I have used it to load custom roms on just about every other android phone I have had.
OH well, consider this solved.

Im currently running Viper4g on my evolte but ive been checking out CM10 and i want to try it out. What would be the usual steps to take when flashing a new rom?
I would do a full NAND backup with whatever recovery you have in case you want to revert back. Then do a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) and flash the new ROM.
Read the guide in my sig lol, explains just about anything you could think of and has a list of basic trouble shooting scenarios that some users are likely to encounter
Come on guys you tell me what a great write up I have and never recommend it?
Edit: I feel like I'm trying to sell myself and I am not a wh***
*runs away in tears*
Of course it's great
However, you said yourself: it's a great reference guide, but not a step-by-step for anything.
The OP asked for steps to take when changing ROMs
Yes but the title of his thread says tips for someone new....ahaaaa.. *cue classic black and white cinema fiend music*
I so wrote it to avoid all these brick and corrupt card threads

How to flash a boot image if S-ON Dev Unlocked 1.15 HBOOT:
I was trying to install CM10 btw. I did a backup using twrp tried restoring but that didnt work. What can i do now to fix it?
Maybe the cmx was a bad download or bad flash. If you fasboot flashed the aosp boot IMG you might have problems trying to restore a sense backup. I would download cmx again redo all the steps.
I'm not sure if you have to flash a sense boot IMG when restoring a backup , I would try it tho to be safe.
Hey man. The instructions work, so start over and make sure you follow every step including wiping.

To restore your existing backup, you will need to reflash your old viper4g kernel (boot.IMG) first with fastboot.

ok im trying to restore again, hopefully it works. i have work in 45 minutes and being without my phone would suck.
It worked! Thanks for the help guys. Im gonna leave CM10 alone until the weekend when im off.
First of all, thank you in advance for any help you can give.
So I made an attempt today of flashing a CyanogenMod Nightlie build using ClockworkMod and now I cannot get passed the spinning Cyanogen logo (I have waited 45 minutes over several different reboot attempts).
The bootloader has been unlocked
I have wiped the data
I have wiped the cache
I have wiped Dalvik Cache
then
I have loaded the nightlie
and then the gapps
then I rebooted and I get nothing but the startup screen.
Can anyone help? Did I miss something? I have been all over the forum looking for insight and havent had any luck.
Again, thank you and I thank everyone for their hard work on these builds.

okay, some things have been done wrong.. to flash a rom like cm10 if the rom isn't booting and your S-ON not using 4ext you need to flash the kernel separate, and 4ext is the recommended recovery for any and all S-ON htc phones.. id still recommended for S-OFF also..

I recently attempted to root my HTC thunderbolt, and to do so I used the htc dev unlocker and then this "HTC Thunderbolt Tool'
rootzwiki.com/topic/27310-all-in-one-the-htc-thunderbolt-tool
After that I downloaded a rom and installed it through the 4ext recovery, it all install fine and I did do a factory/data reset but whenever I reboot after the rom install, I get the HTC white bootloader and then the screen become black with a back light to it.
I have tried a number of times to re-install the rom and have tried to use other roms but all of them seem to end the same way.
I have used:
BAMF FOREVER 1.1
BAMF MECHA ICS
AIRBORNE GOUI
Killsense 3.7.19
Lightning501
few more
My phone is a HTC Thunderbolt and when I attempted to root the phone it had a hboot version of 1.0.8 and had a stock version of ICS installed.
Sadly I have a phone without a working rom and I had forgot to make a backup so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Preferably I would like to keep the phone rooted but its not necessary.
Thank You
I'm a total xda-developor noob, so I hope I didn't mis a thread with a the solution all ready on it.
Make sure you do the factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache. Flash the ROM and reboot. Sounds like your missing a step somewhere 8)

I have tried clearing everything but still doesn't seem to work.
One thing I forgot to mention is sometimes if I wait long enough on the blank screen It boots me back into the 4ext recovery, don't know if that makes much of a difference.
The way I have been installing the rom
Load ROM onto the SD
Do a "wipe data/factory reset"
Go into install sd and choose the Rom which is in a .zip file
I think this is how its supposed to be done, but not sure.

Problem is you were coming from the ICS OTA.
The All In One Tool alone will not get you rooted after taking the OTA.
In order to fully root and s-off after having the OTA loaded, you would need to follow the steps outlined HERE

You can use whatever Recovery you want, Clockwork Mod is old and not really suggested to use, especially with newer roms.
I miss the RA recovery I had on my first bolt. I use the ext4 recovery now. Glad Santod was able to help you out!!
