Moved to QnA

What you need to do is load the zip file onto the root of your memory card. Then, power off the phone, and hold the volume down button and then hold the power button. Then go to backup/restore then nand backup. Then when the backup is complete, go to wipe and then wipe the handset by selecting the first option. Then go to flash from SD and select the rom. And if you flash the gapps, do that after flashing the rom. Then, after flashing is complete, go to reboot phone. It will then boot into your new rom. Its a great Rom. I'm running it now. And typing this tutorial for you on the xda app.

THIS is assuming you are rooted already.

[ROM]Bring Out Your Dead.... We're Not Dead Yet - Obsidian 2.0.1 Release!

What a crazy 3 months it has been, with life in general getting in the way of development, but it's over and here is a release for everyone!
For the full list of changes please see the changelog at http://bit.ly/aH0ioL.
*Please note*
All Google apps that are available for download from the market will no longer be included in the CCRoms Google apps package, to facilitate updating the apps the way Google intends.
Also this release is FROYO, Gingerbread will most likely be our next release with this gem version's features ported to AOSP Gingerbread.
The Main Highlights:
Obsidian for the Droid X is now a fully stable build, some minor bugs might still exist, but otherwise it is rock solid.
Tanzanite for the Droid 2 is also stable build, since it is so close to the Droid X.
Emerald for the HTC Evo is also stable for all pre-2.10 and 2.02 hboot updates.
Sapphire is just as stable as ever.
Ruby has been updated to the Miui ril for better connectivity and is more stable than ever.
That's right we are now on 5 phones, Thanks for all of your support everyone!
Now for the important part, Obsidian 2.0, Ruby 2.0, Sapphire 2.0, Tanzanite 2.0 are released!
All Downloads are available under the downloads section on our wiki: http://wiki.ccroms.net
Be sure to read the wiki pages fully for known issues and install instructions for certain roms.
NOTE: Emerald has been having some kernel issues and 2.0 will be delayed slightly.

Just flashed, running very fast!!!! Thank you sniffle and CVPCS. And the post above is the official post from sniffle himself

Really awesome work. Is running very stable for me. Reboot ->Recovery works perfectly as well so there is nothing to fear for people uncomfortable without needing Koush's bootstrap app.
Love that the Nexus wallpapers are all included. Also digging all of the customization options.
Again, Thank you for your work.
EDIT: Also I should not that you should download the apps .zip file before you flash the ROM because the stock browser can't download from the site for some reason. I had to do it on my computer and transfer over. Not very difficult but it will save a couple minutes to just download it before you flash.

if you notice any bugs please post them to the bug tracker (bugs.ccroms.net)!
(be sure to check if the bug exists before posting a new one)
hope everyone likes the release!

quick question
So the Obsidian note in the op says stable, is the bug list on the wiki current? No pin point Gps, camera or cam corder correct?

yes. the wiki list is the current bug list. by "stable" we mean it doesn't reboot uncontrollably anymore. it's still in beta and has kinks to be worked out.

Could anyone be helpful and point me towards the install instructions?

Great job guys. I'm waiting until GPS and Camera are working though. Can't wait to see a Gingerbread release!
Also, you guys should get a Google Code page.

I'd like a install guide as well, I don't wanna have to SBF my phone.

I third that. Quick question besides how to install this rom...i notice that the wiki said it provides bad battery life. I have an extended battery, but if it is so bad at this time, can i sbf back to Stock? Thanks for the hard work

http://wiki.ccroms.net/obsidian/releases/2.0.0

Sorry, that doesn't actually say how to install the rom originally. Just says don't use clockwork mod after its installed. Is this originally installed through cw mod then using ccroms own clockwork app? Also can you sbf back to stock if it isn't for you?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

for those wondering about installation:
basic installation procedure:
Download main (and possibly gapps) zips and push to your sdcard
Use koush's bootstrap recovery to get into CW recovery
NANDROID NANDROID NANDROID!
Wipe data/cache (Factory reset)
Install core zip from sdcard (no need to manually mount /system first)
(Optionally) install gapps zip from sdcard
Reboot
once in the system, do NOT use koush's bootstrap to get into recovery. instead, simply long-press the power button to bring up the global options menu, then select "Reboot" and "Reboot Recovery"
after that, you should reboot into CW again. from here you can nandroid all you like. nandroids from koush's bootstrap will work with the provided copy of CW recovery. note however that nandroids of obsidian will NOT work with koush's bootstrap recovery, as koush's bootstrap recovery does not backup/restore the /preinstall partition.
also, this installation only edits the /system and /preinstall partitions, so SBFs still work just fine if something goes wrong.

So if we wanted to go from another rom back to an Obsidian nandroid, how would we accomplish this?

On obsidian.. in the reboot menu... when u hit reboot, it give u the option to flash into recovery. Dont install the bootstrapper cuz its already included in the reboot menu on obsidian.

So you'd have to flash the rom first, then restore the nandroid? Is there an advantage to this recovery compared to bootstrapper?

Bootstrap is not a recovery, it is merely the "vehicle" that gets you into Clockwork Recovery. Basically this ROM comes equipped with its own "vehicle" to boot to Clockwork Recovery.

I think you are confused.
Reboot Recovery using whatever ROM you are on
Create Nandroid backup
Install Obsidian from .zip
Play with Obsidian
Hold down power button, press reboot, then reboot recovery
Now you are in Recovery again
Click "Restore"

If I'm running Fission (or any other rom) and want to flash a nandroid backup I created using the Obsidian recovery, I would need to first install the Obsidian .zip and then reboot into Obsidians recovery to flash back to the Obsidian nandroid. Correct?

[Q] Fastboot?? Finally need to ask

I thought I knew enough not to ever post a question that might be answered already but here goes... I am an HTC Evo owner and know how to flash a rom in recovery with no problem. I boot into recovery (Amon Ra, I have cwm on my wifes phone) do a nandroid backup, wipe phone, cache, dalvik then flash zip from sd. i choose a rom and flash then reboot, everything is all good. With my Vivid, I am fearful of flashing a rom this way because of this fastboot step and what is a kernel(<------- i know it sounds newb but a for real question)? If I absolutely have to perform the fast boot step, I am 99% certain I will be able to figure it out, in fact I believe I have performed a similar task when rooting the Vivid. I may have the capability to do it but it doesn't make sense to me. I would like to understand why. Any helpful answers or tips for me?

"In computing, the kernel is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level." (This was from Wikipedia)
I would post a URL but since I'm 'new'.
Anyways, that's the gist of it.
(To my knowledge)

With most roms for example Rumraider, you need to flash the kernel (boot image) first before you flash the rom in. Cwm in order for the Rom to boot properly. It is the nearly the exact same steps as you HTC EVO. I'm coming from an HTC Aria so I'm like you and never had to this kernel flashing before. Trust yourself it is not hard. Just read the superguide. I repeat READ THE SUPERGUIDE. It explains exactly how to do it. There are a few ways to do it. I find using the command prompt the easiest but you need a pc. You can now even use a kernel flasher or a program called flash image GUI from the market. Honest its not so bad just read read read. I believe we need to flash this way until we get S-off. Hope this helps.

Thanks to all of you!!! I use the comand window with the EVO 3d screen to boot in recovery. (1.5) I use the rootevo3dnew folder and hold down shift right click and it opens that comand window. (Just so you know what I know) But with the vivid I cant get the comand window to find the phone. I have used flash image GUI from the market (life saver) But I have found that some ROMS do not have a Kernal file in it for it to find. So it says I am missing img. So the question is how do I flash a kernal or add it to a Rom I would like to try? O and yes a noob all the way

When you use the command prompt window are you in fastboot on your phone? Make sure you install the correct drivers as well. If that doesn't work try using a program called easy kernel flasher. I think a dev on her created it.

Thanks I will try that tonight The one thing I noticed is I use FlashImageGUI and it works great on HoliRaider V1 - Sense 3.5. I have tried to use it on VJRaider 0.0.3 Sense 3.5 and it will not load the kernal. why would that be?

I stole this from the superguide.
First, download FlashImageGUI from the bottom of the post. But, if you are going to use this more than once, SUPPORT THE DEV and buy the app from the market. You will also get auto updates if you buy it straight from the market
- If you downloaded the FlashImageGUI from the bottom of this post, put it on your external sd card and use a file explorer from your phone to install it
- Then download the ROM you want (this app can find the kernel image in a ROM zip) or just download the kernel by itself or the recovery img you want
- Put your desired kernel or ROM zip or recovery img on the ROOT of your SD card (not in any folders)
- Turn off wifi
- Launch the FlashImageGUI app on your phone
- Click browse and select the ROM zip or kernel or recovery img you put on the sd
- If you selected a ROM zip, the app will automatically find the kernel image
- Select "kernel image" or "recovery image"
- Select "clear dalvik" and "clear cache"
- Click "Flash Image" and let it complete
- IF THIS GAVE AN ERROR OR DIDN'T WORK CORRECTLY, ASK THE DEV OF THE ROM/KERNEL/RECOVERY TO MAKE IT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS APP
- If you were flashing a recovery, turn off the phone and try going into recovery mode (power button + vol down) and you should have the new custom CWM
- (If you were flashing a kernel, YOU NEED TO IMMEDIATELY FLASH YOUR DESIRED ROM
- Turn off your device, then boot into h-boot (hold down the power button and vol down)
- Now flash your ROM zip by following the guide below to flash the ROM, START WITH STEP 6 OF THAT GUIDE

N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
When I hold the power button, I don't see any 'Recovery' option (The only options are 'Silent mode', 'Data network mode', 'Flight mode', 'Power off' and 'Restart'). What am I missing/doing wrong..?
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
PS. Apologies for posting this in the Q&A section. I'm relatively new so can't yet make a post in the relevant development thread.

only custom ROM users get the APM (advanced power menu)
you will have to do it manually, Power off the phone and hold volume UP + Home + Power all at once
let go when you see the GT-N7000 screen

Thankyou VERY much. I did it, but haven't tried the rooting procedure yet. In the recovery menu, I saw a message about CSC being successfully applied. What does this mean...?

not sure what CSC stands for but it happens to us all, Dont worry about it, Its a good thing that it was applied successfully

Csc is country sales code. And yes as azzledazzle said, its normal to see that message.

All went well (or so I thought) but I have 2 problems:-
I don't think I'm properly or fully rooted. After following the above steps, I installed Mobile Odin Pro (v2.45) and attempted to flash CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip. I extracted the tar file, placed it on the external SD card and ran it using Mobile Odin Pro. However, upon rebooting, I see that my baseband, kernel version, build no. etc. are still showing exactly the same info in the 'About phone' section under Settings, ie.
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
Is this normal or have I missed an important step? I saw on another thread that perhaps I should have extracted both the tar and zimage files from the CFRoot zip, and then flashed? If so, could someone kindly tell me exactly what to do. For info, SU seems to have installed ok and has granted the necessary permissions to CWM and Mobile Odin Pro as root apps but I can't get into or use either app. What am I missing or doing wrong?
After rebooting, I can no longer use Mobile Odin Pro so cannot attempt a proper flash of whatever kernel I should be using. I can mostly now not get past the 'Loading...Checking SuperUser support...' splash screen. During this period, I see a pop-up which confirms the app has been 'granted SuperUser permissions for an interactive shell'; this pop-up usually appears several times during this loading period. Very occassionally, it gets past the Loading screen but then stays for an equally lengthy time at the next 'Loading...Detecting device model...' screen. If it gets past that, it then fails to detect any device model so I cannot use the app. What am I doing wrong? I've tried rebooting several times - no joy. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app - again, no joy.
If anyone can help me out of my rooting misery, I'd be really grateful.
One more thing - I'm not completely clear how I revert to/reinstall a stock ICS ROM once I am properly rooted or from where the phone is now? Can someone please just clarify this for me.
Apologies for the long post - just wanted to give as much information as possible.
Many thanks to all who can help

im not so sure but when you installed cwm and buzybox you did so to flash a custom rom
if you flash a custom rom you will keep the phone root and so on (supersu ecc...)
else you loose partially the root and you need to reflash the apps you lost on rebbot
so choose good cutom ics and go for it
you might try cssie xlite....180 mega
or Rocket Rom 7 700 mg
both work well
p.s. never full wipe or factory reset on ics cfroot kernell....
just do t with abyss kernel 4.2 if you need it and read about eemmmc bug crack
p.s.2 look for drkeatan posts and chasmodo....they made good walkthrough pro

Thanks for the reply. I only rooted in order to use certain root apps (Root Explorer, Titanium Backup etc) and was under the impression that the CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip was basically a slightly modified stock ICS ROM with CWM included..?

The way I've always rooted is to run the adb script on a gb from, can be found in dr K's post. You need to be rooted before you can flash cwm kernel, 2 separate processes (although combined in some scripts.
There is also a thread somewhere with pre-rooted stock roms, so you could flash one of those as normal with PC Odin and then flash cwm kernel. Might be easier.

It is just name of the ROM, and the developer writes you clearly in the first blue field, in the first text line:
Android Base CM10.1.3. RC1 JellyBean
JellyBean is not ICS (ICS is 4.0.x) so you need Gapps for CM10.1x / Android 4.2.x
CyanogenMod 9 is based on ICS

This isn't meant to be flashed via Odin.
Download the rom + addons + gapps + CM9 (you don't need CM9 gapps). You can download the rom + addons from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075058
1.) Backup everything you need to- call logs, SMS, bookmarks, etc with Titanium or other methods of your choice
2.) Reboot into recovery. Perform the three wipe combo (data, cache, Dalvik)
3.) Flash CM9. You'll probably have to flash it twice- once for the kernel, another time for the rom. Let it boot.
4.) Once CM9 has booted, check that you still have reception.
5.) Reboot into recovery again and do the wipe combo. This time choose to flash the base rom. You'll need to flash it three times- once due to the incompatible partition (first flash overcomes this), another time for the kernel, a third time for the rom.
6.) Once the base rom's finished flashing, reboot. Check you still have your IMEI- you'll know if you still have reception.
7.) Reboot to recovery, flash addons (flash Addons then Addons_V1)
8.) Reboot
9.) Back to recovery (AGAIN), flash gapps.
Unfortunately a one-time flash with Odin isn't possible. But the endless flashes you have to do for RemICS V6 is well worth it

thx for reply
thx for your reply and apologies for getting back to you late.
If only i could do it the way you suggested but for some reason (me) i have messed the phone so that it now no longer is able to mount the external SDCard so putting the relevent zip files on the ext card is useless because in recovery mode using CWM these files fail to show.
I note that via CWM it shows the card as unmounted. If i try and do a mount it fails.
any ideas?
thx

thx for your reply and apologies for getting back to you late.
If only i could do it the way you suggested but for some reason (me) i have messed the phone so that it now no longer is able to mount the external SDCard so putting the relevent zip files on the ext card is useless because in recovery mode using CWM these files fail to show.
I note that via CWM it shows the card as unmounted. If i try and do a mount it fails.
any ideas?
thx

What about your internal storage?

Here is where my noob-ness kicks in.
What internal storage is available by default on the Note1? Is it just the internal sdcard?
what puzzled me when I last flashed with odin (repeated it a number of times as I was trying to get the device to recognise ext sd card) to get the current Darky Extreme rom on (which is working fine no problem at all) is that there was still some relic directory structure left over. These were all empty folders visible when navigating within CWM. Didn't matter what type of formatting I did they wouldn't go. To summarise: much confusion and something got twisted.
So questions arising are:
-How to nuke the internal disk/card properly so there are no remnants prior to me doing another darky reinstall?
-Then, how to copy a zip file to internal card but still have it remain after the format and wipes that would precede a zip install?
-How to fix the device to mount the ext sdcard? FYI other sdcards can't be mounted either. I have tried 4 different ones. And here's the kicker-once booted I go to file manager and there I can see and access all the files/folders on the external card!!! So it's definitely a phone problem as opposed to a sdcard problem. Something got flagged along the line.
