I'm having a bit of a trouble with my Desire X and this because for the past month I have been flashing/messing/bricking it.
First of all, I want to return to completely stock. Rom,kernel,boot,recovery etc.And that because I want to update to Jelly Bean and then install a Jellybean ROM
Secondly, after flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113587 I was stuck on bootloop for reasons I don't really know (If you are so kind to explain).
Thirdly can I update to Jelly Bean directly from my Custom Rom? Rather than having to go stock and then update.
I can provide any piece of info about ROM/Kernel etc as long as you need them.
Some are here:
Android Version 4.0.4
ROM ShadowDX v2.0
Kernel 3.0.21-g279c1c [email protected] #2 SMP PREEMPT
Current Recovery TWRP v2.6.3.0 (I have also installed neXusPrime for a try,v1.1 I believe)
CID HTC_304
Unlocked Bootloader (HBOOT 1.24.000, what is this)
I don't have a nandroid backup because I didn't know about it when I started messing with my phone (sorry)
Before I forget can someone teach me how to install boot.img, recovery.img and ROMs THE RIGHT WAY
P.S. I'm 16 y/o and kind of a noob but have read alot about everything for my phone.
P.S.2 Anything for 720p playback? (Optional,have read it doesn't support right now,? some say need kernel?)
P.S.3 Not sure about category of thread

First I need to know your cid, secondly you are using a recovery that is not for your hboot so thats why that gets a bootloop.
You need to go back to full stock to update to JB and hboot 1.25 there is no other way
HD playback is and will not possible because our phone doesn't support it
Give me your cid and I or someone else will help you further

@ OP
i think you can use RUU, if not, there was a NANDROID Collection thread with backups of people having different CID.
Note the steps carefully.
Install a TWRP or CWM recovery (ICS version because 1.24.000 is ICS hboot)
Then download a nandroid backup made with TWRP or CWM as u chose, from the collection thread.
Put the nandroid backup in appropriate folder.
Boot to recovery and restore.
Now use a tool, of fastboot, to flash stock recovery and stock boot. (you can find that in a thread made by ckpv5). Remember you are on the oldest hboot table, so you need two or three updates to go to JB.
When you have flashed above recovery and boot, restart the phone normally. Set it up. You will receive OTA update notification for JB. Let it happen smoothly.
In the end, when you have JB update completed. Then come back here and see a thread to install a custom JB ROM.

Hi, my friend is running a rooted 2.1 from this site (I believe)
http://www.softsailor.com/how-to/20831-how-to-root-the-htc-droid-eris-and-install-android-2-1.html
he said that the ROM has gotten slow and he wants to flash the official (non-rooted) 2.1.
How should he go about doing this?
(he doesn't have a custom recovery)
hiddengopher is he rooted or does he have the leak? If he has any of the leaked versions on his phone there is no way to upgrade to the OTA at this time.

If he never installed a recovery partition, and he really is rooted, that also implies that he has a horrible, horrible bug-filled (early 2.1 test release) ROM on his phone, and it is no wonder he wants to abandon it. That's because he never really finished the rooting process and put a decent ROM on his phone - even a "near-stock" rooted ROM.
But, if he wants to hang himself and give up root, here's the rope to work with. This one command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img
gets him the recovery installed, assuming he has the 1.49.xxxx S-OFF bootloader (which he should have if he is really rooted).
He will need
- To install device drivers on his PC so that it can speak "fastboot" to the phone across the USB cable
- fastboot (about midway down that page).
- Amon_RAs recovery image (see down the page near "Download")
(md5sum e3932991f097993602af3c7a4b61a4f8)
- After that, he can follow the process documented in this XDA thread.
Note that jcase pulled the link for the "unzipme.zip" file from his thread, but the same instructions are replicated over here in this AndroidForums thread. I think the file (unzipme.zip) is still available at the download link in that copied post.
There are other ways to do this, but this one is the most straightforward. After you are back on 1.5, the phone will automatically notify "your friend" of the OTA-2.1 availability.

awesome. thanks. I'm not sure if he got ADB all set up or not because I haven't heard from him.
Thanks a ton!
I guess I need to brush up on my phone modding skills because I haven't had to root/unlock/modify a phone for a while now as you can see I'm on a D2 and had an INC1 before that, I've messed with a NC and a Touchpad on the tablet side, all of these procedures seem simple and straight forward with few steps or lots of simple steps.
With my Rezound coming on Friday, I realize I'm a bit out of touch on things, when I hear about renaming files to x or y, using fastboot, boot.img, or flashing recoveries separately (including using Amon Ra, which I've never used) I'm quite confused.
I would appreciate if someone could lay it out for me a little more simplier for me or am I just overthinking?
-Sent from my Droid 2-
Yeah, I can see how reading posts in here at this time could be confusing. A lot of issues lately are due to people having flashed an ICS leak that caused their mainver to update, making it so that they could not simply flash back to GB. But now there are ICS ROMs out that you don't have to worry about that happening with, but if you are going to go for one of those I would confirm that in the thread of the ROM you pick.
Also, it's possible you may have to flash an ICS kernel before flashing an ICS ROM. I haven't gone to ICS yet but have read that when you go back to GB from ICS you have to flash a GB kernel first, so I would just check on that and make sure first if you're going with ICS.
And due to not having s-off I guess things are a bit different than if you do have it but it's not as bad as it seems.
So basically you are going to:
- unlock the phone by obtaining an unlock code from HTCDev [adb]
- flash Amon Ra, a recovery being used instead of CWM since that one's been buggy on the Rezound [adb - put recovry img file in same folder you used for unlocking]
- root [you will download a self contained toolset in its own folder and use that]
- flash ROM [put the zip file on your external sd card and flash in recovery]
- flash kernel [put the zip file on your external sd card and flash in recovery]
Here is a thread that will take you through the steps,
BUT When you get to the recovery part, at this time the latest version of recovery is not in the first post, get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21730681&postcount=235
AND this guide skips flashing a ROM and also says it's for ziggy's kernel, so once you get past flashing Recovery go to the thread of the ROM you've selected and follow their instructions, then same thing with whatever kernel you've chosen.
[GUIDE] Super-noob guide to unlocking, rooting, and flashing Ziggys kernel
Hope this helps. Good luck and happy flashing!

If you do a little searching, there are a few great adb tutorials on this website. Try the DInc 2 threads.

Couple of tips:
- Don't worry about rooting if you're going to flash a ROM or at least not before you flash a new ROM. If for some reason your new ROM isn't rooted, you can root it later.
- "adb reboot bootloader" is your friend. Saves you from having to pull the case off for the battery a million times.
I came from an OG droid so all this fastboot stuff was new for me too, but I got the hang of it pretty quick. It really just adds one more layer between the recovery.

That's the first I've heard of that here in the Rezound forums. Not saying it's not true, just never read that here.
In any case, I would root first so you can make nandroid of your stock rooted phone in case the ROM flashing doesn't go smoothly. Then you can always go back to rooted stock easily and start over. I have mine saved for any future needs as well.
As to using adb. MrSmith317 (I think I got his numbers right) put up a nice little mini sdk which has the files you need for using adb for the purposes you will need to use it. I've attached it below since I can't find his original post that had it attached. Unzip that, rename the folder to something easy and put it in the root of your C: directory for easy navigation from the command prompt. You will use that to unlock and flash recovery.
Oh, another thing... there is an updated version of Amon Ra buried in the thread that never got put in the first post, so don't use versions listed in that first post. The latest version is now 3.13 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21730681&postcount=235 . I'll update my other post to mention this.
And one last thing, it's possible you may have to flash an ICS kernel before flashing an ICS ROM. I haven't gone to ICS yet but have read that when you go back to GB from ICS you have to flash a GB kernel first, so I would just check on that and make sure first if you're going with ICS. I'll mention this too when I edit previous post.
I always do my backups from recovery where you don't need root (at least I didn't with the Rezound, been too long since my droid was unrooted). 99% is completely made up, but are there actually custom ROMs out there without root...? Not leaks or backups, but actual custom ROMs people have built.
hey every1 call me hatcher, soo many pages of info didnt know where to start also, most of you will think im an idiot probably asking simple questions! here goes:
bought my sgs2 and love it to death only had it a week and its on orange , i went ahead and rooted my phone using odin 3 and s2 root. i decided to install an original secure kernel again. all seems good, but i didnt know what kernal was is the best? and is it the whole firmware thing? my current android version is 2.3.4 is this the newest and best because i saw something on the web about ics 4 or something. went onto kies and no update was found so maybe that is the latest official, but then i was confused about it saying u have to root again after ics. so yea if anyone could give me a heads up it will be great.
basically i want my phone rooted but running the latest OFFICIAL version with updates available thanks.
did download the newest kernel on this site but phone didnt boot so reverted and thinking there is more to this, dont want to break my phone!! thanks
also another really random question if any1 can answer does powervr plugin meant to take soo long for loading on shadow guardian for example thanks very much, soory for bad punctuation and grammer my english is not perfect yet
just realised that kernel 4.03 i downloaded is 8 mb and another ics 4.03 was 300 mb! really getting confused about os, firmware kernel etc and dont want to miss anything!

Your latest firmware should be ICS 4.0.3, (you can flash ICS 4.0.4 official/custom rom!) not gingerbread 2.3.4! You can download (after registering!) your "OFFICIAL" firmware/rom from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=1#regiona Just choose your region/network/firmware, & then flash with odin 3 again! This will unroot you because you'll be flashing original stock firmware, so you will have to root again with your rooting method of choice! I personally prefer to root using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 to just keep the latest OFFICIAL stock rom on my device but still have root! Also, using this method wont give you the yellow triangle on each reboot because you're not flashing a kernel to root your device! If you ever need to put your phone in for repair under warranty & your flash counter in download mode doesn't say "No" (0), then they'll possibly charge you for it, as you've flashed your device ! Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22463153#post22463153 to reset it (ONLY FOR USE ON ICS ROMS!!), but make "SURE" the app gives the "EXACT" same count that it says in download mode, or you could potentially HARD BRICK your expensive toy! The warnings are there to be read, good luck!
thamkyou for your swift and informative reply.
so did kies not update when u have rooted your device?
if so i take it you have to manually flash to the newest firmware everytime a new release comes out?
is this the only thing i need to worry about with updating the firmware no other donloads or auto updates im missing, because like i said i saw a firmware update that was 300mb and i cldnt find anywhere online official kernely/firmware builds, and it seems that a simple flash of 8mb or so updates everything? i saw people talking about connecting via kies to update firmware and it was a big 300 meg file!
thanks for your links also mate.

Whenever you root, kies gives you the "wrong firmware to update" error! No worries though, because YES, you can always flash the latest firmware or custom roms manually! This is usually done through Odin 3 or CWM (clockworkmod recovery!) If done through Odin 3, your flash counter in download mode escalates/goes up, & the only way you can reset it for warranty purposes is using Triangle Away (link in my previous post!) which can be DANGEROUS!! Or if you flash roms through CWM then your counter's not affected also! The majority of people however, prefer to use Mobile Odin on the Galaxy Sll, as flashing with this app also does not give you the boot up triangle warning, or affect your download mode counter! Here's the link to Chainfires lates free version here on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 Or if you appreciate the work the devs (for this particular app, Chainfire!) do for us in this forum, you can obtain the "PRO" (paid/donate!) version here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en
thanks for the reply again crock daddy! mobile odin sounds awesome,
i see i was getting confused because whenever i have ran kies, it has never asked/said anything about updating firmware, guess ive installed an older firmware version than what my phone came with oops lol. i guess im all good to go, cant believe what this handset can do! and yes i will be donating to the clever gits, chainfire is insane, thanks to that i have shadowguardian dead space and backstab working
thanks for your time again peace out.
right flashed to ics, love it, u sir are a legend....
BUT i tried rooting and it said my kernel was secure thus no temp root access. so closed s2 root down. (would this of done any damage or corrupted data btw?)
tried the cwm zip in sd card method, but cldnt find su zip, also read that it doesnt give full root access or sumin. (again would going into clockwork recovery have done any damage because i didnt complete the rooting process-cldnt find su file so just shut it down)
and im guessing there are no insecure kernels for ics yet?
sorry to be so pedantic and worrying about silly things lol.
also have had a couple of jitters and games completley freezing since ics is this common and or should i reinstall games?
this is the kernel version im using for an orange sgs2 19100p
I9100PBVLP6
just doule checking this is the most up to date and stable build.. cheers

When you root using the cwm & superuser.zip you won't see the su.zip in recovery mode! You have to put an sd-card in your device (external sd-card!) & put su.zip on that rather than your internal sd-card! that way recovery sees it! & YES you do gain full root! (read the whole thread! : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719)
If Superuser shows up in your app's, then that's the indication you need to tell you that you have root!
Either this method, CF root method or any other method will allow you to install custom ROMS, but there is an advantage and a disadvantage for both.
:;This method: Doesn't affect custom rom counter or triangle, but CWM recovery is not permanent. (but once you flash a custom ROM that has a different kernel with CWM recovery included then your rom counter will still be unaffected and whatever CWM recovery is included in the custom ROM will become your new permanent recovery)
You can still use CWM recovery to flash stuff with this method, by using clockworkmod (Rom manager!) & booting straight into CWM recovery & doing everything you need to do from there!
This method keeps the stock recovery, so that if you have to send your phone in for a repair, the repairer doesen't see that you have a custom recovery (CWM recovery!) which tells them you have rooted your device & void your warrenty!
:-CF-Root Method: Flashing the CF-root kernel (or ANY insecure kernel!) with Odin will increase your custom ROM counter, which can be cleared with TriangleAway.apk (only on ICS). But Chainfire has warned that it is dangerous and can permanently brick the device (i've used it on XWLP7 ICS 4.0.3 and it works perfect.)
I've used both methods, but I found this method easier and generally safer.
As for some of your games freezing on ICS, try going to settings/developer options & try checking "Force GPU rendering" to see if that makes a difference!
The latest official Samsung firmware for Orange here in the UK is: I9100PBVLP6 (ICS 4.0.3!) so you do have the correct one, but I don't think there's an insecure ICS kernel available for that version as of yet!
So I've been having issues with battery drain and want to upgrade to a new firmware/version of android. My phone has been rooted/unlocked since I got it so I haven't been able to install any OTA updates. I just did s-off and super cid and now want to figure out which firmware I need to upgrade to. From what I understand I have to flash firmwares in order? I'm currently on Android 4.4.2, Software number 1.12.502.18, bootloader 3.16.0000, baseband 1.14.21331931. What firmware do I need to flash first if I want to get up to the latest firmware and Android 4.4.4? If I'm supercid/s-off do I still have to flash the stock recovery? I just want to make sure I have all the right information before flashing anything. I'd like to get ready for lollipop and might upgrade to a custom rom on a newer version of android.
Boot into bootloader, and write down what it says...
Please state what you have tried. I would suggest running the 2.23 att ruu,backup your stuff on internal memory because itll wipe it.

Under firmware there isn't a version listed. I think it has something to do with TWRP - I've seen it mentioned around the forums.

Make sure you backup pics music etc to computer,download the 2.23.502.3 ruu,rebootphone in fastboot usb mode,run the exe... Will flash to latest 4.4.3 build and test that first is my suggestion,4.4.4 wont be available till mid [email protected] att build
Hello everyone!
I've been very happy with my rooted M9 for the last few months but now a system update message on my screen and I'm trying to figure out what to do about. I seem to recall when I rooted my phone that there could be complications if I install a system update on a rooted phone (like making a Nandroid Backup) but I'm finding scarce information on the topic. Does anyone here have some advice about this?

Follow the second link above.
You will need to restore the factory system.img using TWRP (exFAT or NTFS for external USB as file is > 4GB).
This puts the modified system (root) back to stock so the update will run successfully.
Flash the original recovery for you system version too.
Then you can accept the OTA and then root the phone again.
Thanks for the responses! I'm still uncertain about a few things so tell me if I have this right.
First I need to restore the factory image. Is that a guy named OJM is talking about on this thread? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/general/rooting-guide-t3073004)
To restore your clean system backup to accept OTAs, you must use fastboot. If you are S-ON, you must be in download mode.
-copy your clean system.emmc.win to your adb/fastboot folder on your pc
-boot into download mode
-use cmd fastboot flash system system.emmc.win

In that case, what is a system.emmc.win?
Then I flash the original recovery...what are you refering to when you say "original recovery"?
After that my phone should be locked again and I can go to that second link, download the latest firmware and flash it. And then I can unlock and root my phone again.
Edit: So it looks like someone has made a guide on how to get the OTA updates (if you use the right words in your search). It looks no one done anything with it since May so maybe it still works? http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/best-unlocking-bootloader-rooting-guide-t3087354
I would just run the official RUU, it's a one shot process will take care of everything including the radios. Much easier than messing around, just make sure you are S-OFF before you do it. When it's done just flash the latest TWRP and install your rom you will be done.

That was what I ended up doing. Had few bumps on the way but I managed to get everything working. Thanks for the help everyone!

hi sim I have a question the only thing I got to make sure is that the phone is S-OFF and nothing will happen because I read that also the bootlooder had to be lock again so I'm not sure
