Woah woah, first of all if your gonna use cy 5 let it sit for a bit and it will start up. Its installin' the rom and all the other stuff.
And the reason why cy 6 doesn't work is cause you need danger/death spl flashed onto your device.
Make sure you do a factory wipe clean and follow all the steps below the ORIGINAL thread on here.
Good luck.

Oh and by the way...cy 5 also needs danger/death spl flashed.
Look that up and make sure you follow the right steps.
If you do anything wrong, BYE BYE G1 it will brick.
So flash the radio first...and well just follow the steps...than flash cy 5.
Again...good luck.

[Q] HTC HD2 Android APPS2SD

Hi Hello,
this is my first post in this forum and I hope you will forgive me my bad english and the fact, that 2 hours of searching haven't figured out answers to my problem.
I flashed my HD2 by using this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620
Everything worked well and I'm really impressed of the performance my HD2 now shows.
My problem:
I wish to install APPS2SD and searched quite the whole Internet for a manual to do it.
But it seems all manuals are NOT for my configuration.
Due to the flashing process there is hspl 2.08 and magdlr 1.13 installed on my phone.
When I try to get in "recovery" via magdlr it says something like "missing source".
I guess something is missing but I didnt't get it.
So please can anyone show me the way to get APPS2SD installed?
Thank you!

There are many roms supporting this feature automatically when you have an SD-ext partition.you can try one of them.

Well, thank you.

Thats where my knowledge on this issue runs out my friend. Have you searched every thread to do with gaining back S-ON? It may be worth traulling through in case there's something in there which may help you. Even googling it or having a look on you tube...there's loads about gaining S-OFF so there might be something in there about S-ON.
How to revert back to HTC Sense for Incredible S ?
Hello,
As testing, I installed the latest CyanogenMod ROM on my Incredible S. But I am not at all liking the interface. Are there any ways to revert back to the custom HTC Sense ?
I saw the thread "Incredible S shipped ROMs collection" at 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922'. But I'm not sure on how to do this and which ROM I need to install.
Can you please help me on this ? I miss HTC Sense a lot
Thank you,

I know your pain my friend as I am a fan of Sense, but fear not! There are a number of ROMs using both Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.5 out there at the moment all located in the development section, or nicely packaged in one place here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463. You would install these the same way you installed CyanogenMod. I am currently running Nikhil - TriNity Sense 3.5 which is currently in the process of being updated, so you may want to wait for that if you fancy giving 3.5 a go, if not then Virtuous Unity is also very good, although again expecting an update. Bslim's ROM is also sporting 3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265980
If you want to go back to your original stock ROM and did not do a Nandroid backup of it before flashing Cyanogen, then you can download the stock RUU that relates to your version of android and the radio you currently have. Look at your phone info if your are unsure of this. You then download it to your sd card and flash it the same way as all the others. If you did do a backup just restore this and hay presto!
Hope this helps.
Hello VaderXI,
Thanks a lot for replying...
I had done a backup of sense prior flashing cyanogenmod. But while trying to restore from revolutionary, its says md5sum mismatch. Not sure what happened.
I'm planning to use the ROM at 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275609' but the problem is its in Arabic. I hope i can change it when the phone is booted up and it asks for the settings.
How can I get the radio version from my phone ? IIRC, mine was using android 2.3.3 which was the latest version for HTC Incredible S. Why does the available Incredible S roms show up as .exe files ? Are these flashed as the same way as other ROMs ?
To be frank, I'm having trouble detecting the rom versions from the list in 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922'. How can i find something for android 2.3.3 Incredible S which i bought in India.
If the ROM you are using is in english, can you please send me the link for that please.
Thank you,

Cant help with the md5sum mismatch I'm afraid. Did you wipe all your data before flashing i.e. cache and dalvik cache ect?
The ROM u want to use is available in English, like u said just select it in when u first reboot.
U can find ur radio version under settings-about phone-software info-more-baseband version. Match this with the RUU in the thread and ur sorted...it will obviously be a gingerbread version. Yes they are flashed the same way as other ROMS.
All the ROMs are available in English. If they say "full Arabic", that's because Arabic is not always available on ROMs and the developer wants you to know that it is in theirs. The ROM i am currently using is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301785, but it is currently being updated and the download is not available.
All the best.

how to update my g1...?

Well you can go all the way to ICS unofficially
The latest official is 1.6 (http://androidandme.com/2009/10/beg...the-official-t-mobile-android-1-6-on-your-g1/)
I really recommend you root and install one of the following ROMs (choose, look em up or try each one!):
cyanogen mod 5 (2.1)
froyobylaszlo (2.2)
ezGingerbread (2.3)
Cyanogen Mod 7 (2.3)

well you have a developers phone so it is already unlocked and rooted. depending on which rom you are trying to flash you may need to change up your radio\spl. but the problem looks like you are trying to flash a zip file through recovery that isnt signed. cant do this. try another link or another rom all together

Anyways, I think the devphone might need a different ota update, but really why don't you want a custom rom? Its even easier for you since you are rooted...

thanks 4 reply..... give me link or any rom
i m new in android & htc ....
what do you have for a recovery? (when you hold power + home what happens) if you dont have amon_ra get that first, then new radio\spl and work your way to the 2708+
after this is done try lets say froyobylazslo (because it works and is a quick n easy flash) sounds like a lot to someone new to android i know but we all had to do this at one point we were all noobs! so do a bit of research in the threads first and if you cant figure all this out on your own then ask again and we would be happy to help (you will be much more satisfied if you do a bit of research and figure it out on your own) good luck, start with recovery, then new radio\spl and we can work from here

[Q] Need urgent help

I flashed my rom today using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631499. Installed it in recovery via ssd then i read somewhere i needed to flash the kernel to i used boot.img and flashed it. Now its stuck on the boot logo. Please tell me i didn't just completely mess up my phone.
Need more info like what kernel how did you flash with fastboot now too get back to stock you need to relock your bootloader and run your phones ruu which you can download from htc

Glad you got it running if you want a great set of instructions google the Rom in my signature you have to join the site to see the vivid section and have 11 posts to see the downloads make sure to read the rules and follow them if you can't find it pm me and I will send you the link

your welcome
This happens to me sometimes. For me most of the time, it's just a bad flash and all you need to do is reflash the ROM and kernel.

Few beginner questions.

Hello guys I just sold my 4S and bought this Note 1 , anyway im new to android flashing and this stuff , ive heard that its way different than iOS restoring which is really easy and simple. Right now i got a few questions , If i missed a step or did something wrong it'll render my device unusable ofcourse , but will it be unrecoverable ? Thats the first thing. Second thing is that is it recommended that i install custom roms? right now i need one's with the Water Ripple effects on lockscreens , or if you can just tell me how to install the effect without custom rom's that'll be helpful because i want to flash official 4.1.2 jelly bean first and then the lockscreen effect. Im just new to the Android stuff and i dont know where to start Same feeling back in 2008 when i bought my first iPhone and got confused n' all
Read around for awhile, its what got me started when I first came here.
Again, read, read read, and avoid asking questions which have been answered countless times its annoying really.

If you just install stock official 4.1.2 rom via odin, it should come with the ripple effect.
Or if the update is already available in your country, you can just update it to the latest official rom via kies.

You'll notice that all of the download links are zip files.
You just need to extract the zip file until you find the .tar file.
Get 7-zip if you don't already have an archive reader.
Help with kernel
So recently I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note GTN7000 and flash it with franco kernel, then when I turned on my phone the bluetooth is not working and it constantly crashes and get stuck (The screen just go green and pink like an old TV with bad signal). So I panicked and unroot it immidiately. But that didnt seem to solve the problem.
So my question is, can I flash it with the original kernel. If so how? and where can I get it. can you teach me. (NOOB REQUEST )
just flash the stock rom again... using PC odin
Alright guys thanks for the reply , i heard theres a way you cab install roms without pc since i just want to install official 4.1.2 , ill do some research

Yep, there's a way to install roms without PC, using mobile Odin, but before that you should have your phone been rooted first.

Wait a few minutes. Let me get on my PC and I'll give you step-by-step instructions.
Now, do this:
Since you're scared, we'll do this the safest way possible
1.)Download a stock GB rom from here.(You can always come back to this ROM if you run into any trouble).Flash it via PC Odin.
2.)Wipe data and cache from recovery (Press Vol Up+Power+Home when phone is off in order to boot to recovery)
3.)Download stock JB rom from here.Flash it via PC Odin.
OR
1.)Update using Kies.
You're done

Yes, then you'll have gingerbread. Don't forget to wipe after installing gingerbread.
It may brick. Not definite that it will brick. Still, better safe than sorry. Never wipe on stock ICS kernel!
