I have galaxy player 5.0, YP-G70, firmware 2.3.5 gingerbread.uek18 and I just rooted it using SRSrooting.com and it is rooted. I added busybody,rom manager, set CPU,titanium backup. All this from play store now what do I need to do to upgrade from gingerbread, keep in mind I'm new this? I have no clue what to do!
you actually didnt need to root your device if you wanted to upgrade to a newer android version.
simply download all the files necessary, put your phone in download mode, and install rj kernel (INTL) or entropy kernel (US) with odin.
then, boot your phone up into recovery mode and flash cm9.
power off your phone, then boot up into recovery again.
Now you are ready to flash a jellybean build. Cm10.2 M1 or PAC rom is recommended. remember to flash the gapps package along with the rom.

Ok so the first thing we need to figure out is which device you have. If you have one with a physical home button, then you have the INTL player. If you have one with a capacitive button, you have the US version.
Once you have figured this out, we need to flash a custom kernel onto your device. Here are the direct download links for the kernels
US: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=856856&d=1326569537
INTL: http://www.mediafire.com/?zmosctgvifab9z1
After downloading, put your device in download mode by powering it off and then holding the power and volume down keys. Your player should get to a screen that says something like "Downloading Do not turn off Target!!" Now, plug your device onto your computer, preferably via the usb cable that came with the device. Launch odin (attached in the zip below), and click on the PDA button. Browse to wherever you have downloaded the kernel tar file and select the file. Make sure the repartition and Flash lock check boxes are NOT selected at this point. Then click on the start button. If all goes well the box on the top left should say Pass! and your device should reboot.

Cool. Now that you have a custom recovery, it is time to start flashing stuff. First download cm9, cm10.2M1, and gapps (and US kernel if necessary) onto your device. Then, power off your device. Hold down power and volume up until you see the samsung logo, then release the power button but keep holding onto the volume up button. You should be in CWM recovery right now. use the volume keys to navigate up/down and use the power key to select. Go to install zip, and select the cm9 zip. This should take a while to install. once it is done, go to advanced > power off. Now boot into recovery again. Do a wipe data/factory reset, and Advanced > wipe dalvik. Now you can install the cm10.2 zip and then install the gapps zip. If you have the USA device, install the US kernel also. After this, hit reboot and enjoy.

Hello there!
This question might have appeared alot but I'll try to be as short and accurate as possible on the following:
About two weeks ago, I decided to root my Sony Live With Walkman (4.0.4 Ice cream sandwich) and now I'm thinking of installing Cyanogenmod 9 stable release. But I'll leave this mod for the last part and let us focus on the rooting process I've done.
I've used the following tutorial: talk.sonymobileDOTcom/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0
At first, I was unsuccesful but in the second try I had managed to root my device (Unlocked bootloader).
Being a bit tired over the official Sony ICS, I thought of putting Cyanogen to my device. This is where the things get confusing for me:
I've spotted multiple tutorials and each one is different and unclear to me. These two are the ones I'm thinking of as the most reliable sources:
- wiki.cyanogenmodDOTorg/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Live_with_Walkman:_Full_Update_Guide
- technologic101.wordpressDOTcom/2012/03/12/tutorial-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-9-0-ics-on-your-se-xperia-2011-device/
So, I have Cyanogen9 coconut, drivers, fastboot, google apps and proper FTF file downloaded.
But what now? Which tutorial is better and accurate for my state of device? Am I risking a brick by doing this? What are the current downsides of Cyanogenmod9 for this device?
Please, write your opinions, explain or link me to the proper guides for my case. I am grateful for any kind of information you give me!
Thanks!

Is kernel the TFT file or the Cyanogenmod zip file (about 125MB)? And how do I flash this with Flashtool?
Boot.img inside the zip is the kernel. Extract and flash that file using fastboot. After flashing the kernel, start your phone and enter recovery. From recovery flash the zip files
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
Okay then you have done have of the work.
Now backup all your contacts, apps, sms's etc. Then power off your device and boot into fastboot mode. Then take the kernel from the CM9 zip and flash it. After that start your phone and just when the logo gets brighter press the volume down button with which you will boot into the CWM recovery. After that navigate to backup and restore and backup your rom. Then do a wipe data/factory reset ,then wipe chache and after that go to advanced and then wipe the Dalvik Cache. After that go to install zip from sd card and then choose from sd card. then navigate to your rom and flash it. After the flashing is done flash gapps and then reboot.
Note: To navigate in CWM use your volume keys and use the home button to select.
To enter Fastboot: Plug the usb cable side into the phone and while you are plugging it into the computer keep
your volume up key pressed.
To flash a kernel: Put the kernel you extracted from the zip into your fastboot folder.Then open a command
prompt in that particular directory ( in Windows 7 press shift in a blank place and right click).
Then enter this command fastboot flash boot boot.img(Your phone must be in fastboot
mode for this.)
In my signature, there's a guide how to install a custom rom/custom kernels, maybe this could help you!
I would use the cyanogenmod full update guide :good:
You don't need any ftf, you flash a custom rom with clockworkmod (cwm), but this should be explained in the guide

No, just the fastboot drivers to flash the kernel. Go to flashtool installation folder > drivers and install all of them for all devices, that should be all :good:
Ran into a problem with ROM Manager :/ It's supposed to offer me recovery mode by rocking the volume up or down while device is rebooting, but none of these work (device boots normally).

It depends. If you wanna flash any CM or AOKP roms you have to flash thier respective kernels. If you want to flash any stock based roms you can flash any ICS or GB kernel you want like Mesa, Panic kernel etc.
As for how to flash a kernel refer to my post on the page before.

No. For entering the CWMR you have to press the volune down button when the bootup logo gets brighter. For this either you must have CWMR install or else you must have a custom kernel

That didn't work. When the Sony logo gets brighter, a blue LED lights up for that moment.
In cwm, selecting 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery' opens up a box where my phone model is displayed. After that, it says it's unsupported and I can manually select either 2.x or 3.x+. I've selected the 3.x+ one and in the menu it says 'Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.X.X.X
Shall I try with 2.x? I have no clue here.

Hello all. I have had Shostock3 for a while now and read that if you use the Siyah Kernel with it then it is an awesome combo. Well I downloaded the kernel and went to install it through CWM and now I have a big problem. I chose to reboot and install the kernel and when I did I am now STUCK at the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100" with the yellow triangle. I have let it just sit and see what it does but it goes no where. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?! HELP! Thanks all!

Hold power button plus volume up and volume down, keep it held in until you boot into recovery. Recovery won't just disappear, normally people just aren't holding them in long enough or are using the wrong button combo. Let us know if you get back up and running. Also make sure when installing the siyah kernel you're following the OP directions to the letter.

I can't get into recovery. I simply cant. I hold the buttons, correctly might I add, and then the logo appears, then goes away and I am left with nothing but a blank, black screen. The bottom buttons aren't even lit.
Possible hardware failure on your power button or one of your volume buttons I supposed. Have you tried flashing a siyah.tar file in odin to get a.different usable recovery?

Dude do as Phalanx says. Vol up+Vol down+ Power and even after the logo goes away dont release the buttons. Recovery will show up.

Either that or if you get adb up an running on your computer, hook up your phone via usb and type (this is for mac, may be slightly different for other os's):
adb root
adb reboot recovery
and voila! your phone boots up in recovery!
can't get past boot screen on siyah 5.0.1
I spent all the time I could thinking I had this but apparently I don't!
Have AT&T Samsung i777 running the latest stock 4.1.2 that I got from Kies.
Wanted to try my hand at custom roms.
Was able to root phone using flamaroot which gave me SU ability
Bought Mobile Odin pro, downloaded Siyah .tar file and put it on SD.
Flashed it with mobile Odin.
Because I'm an idiot, I was hoping to make a rom backup after flashing.
Now, it boots "Samsung" then the Siyah screen, then goes blank.
I can get into CWM recovery but without a backup rom to restore to I'm not sure what to do.
Also, can get into Download mode which reads:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-I777
Custom Binary Download: NO
Current Binary: Samsung Official
However, it reads downloading, but I do not believe there's anything to download and it's been like this for 20 minutes
ANY ideas on what I could or should do would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Where did you get the Siyah 5.0.1 in tar format? It sounds like you tried to flash a kernel that is not compiled for your phone. You need a kernel that is compiled specifically for the SGH-I777.
If that is the case, then you should be able to recover by flashing a good kernel using Odin, if you can find a tar version, or just flash the 4.1.2 stock firmware with Odin, which you can get from the Download Repository or from sammobile.com/firmware or Samsung-updates.com.
But first, since you can get into recovery, try performing a wipe data/factory reset to see what happens.

Thank you so much for helping me! First of all, I used your post, "Odin3 One-click Downloaders for Stock and Stock + Root" and was able to follow those steps to get me back to 2.3 and then I connected back to Kies to get back to stock 4.1.2. SO, I am completely back where I started a week ago, but I have a phone that works thanks to you!!
To answer your question: because I was using Mobile Odin, it only recognized .tar files and I found one on Siyah's blog (gokhanmoral) which was categorized under "sgs2 kernel".
So I'm back to the start (actually did the unrooted one so I don't even have it rooted currently). However, with all the reading I've been doing on this forum, I can't shake the desire to use a custom rom. I know I'm very much a noob and probably should make myself happy with my phone, but I wanna give it another try. I understand with my following questions if I'm posting in the wrong area and cannot have my questions answered.
Here's where I'm stuck. I know I need to make a custom recovery (cwm or twrp I'm not totally sure) before flashing a custom kernel and then rom. But I just can't figure out how to do it. When I go into recovery (holding volume buttons and power), there is not option for "backup and restore". How can I get a backup of my current rom so I can start with the other stuff?
The order as I understand it:
1. root phone
2. install cwm or twrp in order to create a backup of current rom
3. flash a custom kernel
4. flash a custom rom (that is compatible with kernel)
Thanks so much again for all your help!!

Thank you so much for helping me! First of all, I used your post, "Odin3 One-click Downloaders for Stock and Stock + Root" and was able to follow those steps to get me back to 2.3 and then I connected back to Kies to get back to stock 4.1.2. SO, I am completely back where I started a week ago, but I have a phone that works thanks to you!!
To answer your question: because I was using Mobile Odin, it only recognized .tar files and I found one on Siyah's blog (gokhanmoral) which was categorized under "sgs2 kernel".
So I'm back to the start (actually did the unrooted one so I don't even have it rooted currently). However, with all the reading I've been doing on this forum, I can't shake the desire to use a custom rom. I know I'm very much a noob and probably should make myself happy with my phone, but I wanna give it another try. I understand with my following questions if I'm posting in the wrong area and cannot have my questions answered.

OK, glad your're back to working. The Siyah kernel you flashed is for the GT-I9100, the international version of the Galaxy s2. As I said, you will need a kernel that is compiled specifically for the SGH-I777, so get your kernel from the I777 Android Development Forum.
Next, you can also use a straight zImage file with Mobile Odin. You don't have to have a tar. You can even download a ClockworkMod flashable zip file and use an archiving tool such a Win Zip or 7Zip to open it and extract the zImage from it. Then use that to flash through Mobile Odin.
You currently have the stock 3e Recovery, which does not have a backup facility, nor the ability to flash custom firmware (unless it is signed by Samsung.) So you need to install a custom kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery (or TWRP Recovery will also work.) By the way, those are just different developers versions of almost exactly the same recovery functions, so it doesn't really matter which you use.
For a kernel, go to this post in the development section and download the third of four which is titled "AJK v2.0.5 NO-SWAP Samsung." As I said above, extract the zImage from the zip and use that to flash in Mobile Odin.
Also on this phone, recovery and the kernel are not separate, they are one unit, so you install the kernel to get the custom recovery. Your steps 2 and 3 are incorrect. Remove step 2 entirely. Step 3 will install both the kernel and the custom recovery. In step 4, you can flash any custom firmware you want. They all come with an included kernel, so it doesn't matter what kernel you start with because after you flash you will have a different kernel anyway.
And finally, don't worry about backing up the stock firmware. If you mess up the flash, or soft brick the phone, you can just reinstall stock as you did before. After you have a custom firmware installed, and have your phone configured exactly the way you want it, then is the time to make a backup, because you can flash to a different custom firmware to try it out, and if you don't like it, you can restore your backup and be back to exactly where you were.

Wow, excellent information and I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to help me out. My last question hopefully, and I don't mean to try your patience but what is the best way, would you recommend, to root my phone? I did it with flamaroot previously but it was temporary? Thanks!
Kurt
I have no experience with 4.1.2 and framaroot since I'm running Shostock3. No one who has used that method has said anything about it not being a permanent root. Why do you think it's not permanent?
I think it will be fine. Anyway after you root you're going to install a custom kernel followed immediately by a custom firmware which will be rooted. So even if it wasn't permanent it wouldn't matter.

First off, this forum is not for your phone, it is for the SGH-I777 AT&T Galaxy SII, so we don't know the specifics of your phone.
Following the above procedure will put your phone into download mode, where you can flash the firmware you linked.
Since you say you don't know how to use it, I am going to post a complete set of instructions for using Odin that I wrote some time ago. Bear in mind that this is for the I777, and you will have to adjust some things to make it work for your phone. Refer to the flashing instructions in the thread you linked.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) 3.) 4.) Put your phone into download mode.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
If after the successful flash your phone does not boot into the firmware, then perform a hard reset. I don't know your phone, but normally you would boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
Hi All!
I have an HTC One X+, International. I have decided to try and "play" with it and so I have Unlocked and Rooted and then tried Installing a Custom Rom, based on those instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213910
Unlock and Root went well, and so installing TWRP (its present).
Then I got here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067325
After trying to install the ROM (first image then zip - followed the instructions), the device is booting with the CM logo spinning, but then it gives out an "Unfortunately, NFC Service has stopped " error...
Please help!
I tried to go back to the original restore via TWRP - no luck. The HTC screen appears and then stuck in it.

Try and flash another ROM & Image. It appears the ROM might not have been downloaded properly.
BTW what happened after it gave the NFC error? Did you complete the rest of the process and simply restarted the device?
flash the CORRECT kernel! read the op!!!!!!! why do you people not read?! seriously!
full wipe the rom before flashing CM on top of whatever you had before!
the rom works correct! the problem is you
Cant flash another rom

I cant get a new rom to the device - the computer stopped recognizing it and I have no idea how to get a file on it (maybe somehow via the terminal/SDK.bat?).
After it gives the NFC error, there is an "OK' button. I hit it a few times and nothing happens. Then the screen goes off and I cant turn it back on, unless I use the power button/volume down...
I did though tried a different image... same result.

I am assuming you have latest ADB tools installed in your system.
You can use ADB sideload to copy ROM in the phone
When you are pressing the powerbutton + vol down - I hope you are getting to boot loader?

This was FAST answer!
I see my mistake (reading comprehension) :
CM10 - for 4.1 based roms e.g. CM10 and AOKP 4.1.2
CM10.1 - ONLY for CM10.1
42 - 4.2 based roms e.g. AOKP 4.2.1 and AOSP 4.2.1
I thought that your ROM is based on the 4.2 (?)

By the way, when and how do I add the gapps?

So, you can get to download mode? Then you shouldve flashed the kernel first. And then flash stock rom through recovery mode! You dont flash a rom with odin.

I flashed the kernel with odin, but after i got a screen saying samsung, with an error icon or something on the bottom.. and didn't go to recovery, it then booted into the rom I have.. is there a way to get into recovery on this device? I have tried a lot of common button combinations but no luck..

So your phone is unbricked now? Pressing Home + Volume up + Power button is the proper mode in booting to recovery mode. Or if you could access internet on the device, install some apps that let you boot to recovery mode (like the RebootManager). The error at the samsung boot logo is perfectly normal!

The touchscreen still doesnt work though.. I got to the recovery, but the home button doesn't work.. so I can't select wipe data, and I've also tried the power button which didn't work

I think theres something wrong with the device itself not the software. Hardware buttons difficulties I suppose.

It worked before I messed up the 4.2 kernel.. so I don't think it can't be the hardware.. Also the power button works to boot into download mode and recovery..

hahaha uhm, be careful though! I'm certain there's a way to fix it, but since we don't know it.. Would a restore of a back up fix the problem? (curiosity, since I can't even do that )

First, pull the battery. Now what version of KitKat was installed on you device before you tried to flash a rom on your device? Next what rom are you trying to flash on the device ? Did you try and install the recovery that comes with the rom manager ? It is way out of date !!! Here is my thread read through it first http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 now reinstall battery then boot into download mode and odin flash the rom you want. Which should be done after you have made a copy of your stock rooted OS. That way you have a backup in case something goes wrong !!!
i pulled battery out then back in pressed home,power,volume down, its asked volume down to cancel , volume up to install rom. i press volume down but does the same all over again..
i have kit kat, and yes i went into recovery mode with rom manager, did not know it was out of date.
ok ill follow your steps jimz and thank you for getting back to me.

OK your almost there, after you reinstall the battery. Press the power button, volume down, and menu button at the same time. A new screen will come up then press the volume up button only, now you are in download mode. ( some people call it odin mode it's the place where you flash/install roms in the device) Next bring up odin on your PC then then connect your device via the charging cable. Now click on PDA then open the OS you want flash. Then don't touch anything else and click start.
That was fast and dirty just go back to the thread for more info. Enjoy !!!

Here is the link for CM12 that is not a nightly build http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375 and here is the link to the zip file for your device https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/temasek/Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - HLTESPR/CM12 just click download place the zip on your sd card, wipe system, wipe cache and delvik cache and flash through your recovery. ( make sure you have a backup of your stock rooted rom first ) Remember it is CM 12 some features may not work. But if your a CM fan this is the best one out there.
Here is the link to add in the Google apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/par...apps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900 I would go with the MINI MODULAR PACKAGE just click on Basketbuild then click on download for the zip file. Place on sd card wipe cache and delvik cache then install the zip file this will give you the basic Google apps. But you can always go with the full Google package that gives you a lot of junk you won't use, which kinda defeats the purpose . Enjoy !!!

Ya, it does that sometimes. You can do a quick scan with your anti virus program. But most of the time that's normal, because your PC does not recognize the program as something you normally use. I use odin v 1.85 it is a little older but very stable here is a link https://mega.co.nz/#!oA5xzTAL!LXoVWB...ZlOMSWdRGVX6Uo this is my mega site no virus there.
