As rooting has become so easy these days I am considering to try custom roms (as many hv done lately). I hv read alot since the root with unlocking the bootloader method came out. I am still on stock FRF91 and I'd like to keep my apps and data intact. CM6-RC3 has just released and I m so tempted to try!
Here is the proposed routine:
"Originally Posted by cicrockets"
0. Download the CM6-RC3 ROM with the gapps and put them on SD Card.
1. Plug in the power cable and root using the 1-click root.
2. Back up apps and data with Titanium Backup / MyBackupPro (which is better?)
3. Search for ROM Manager on Market and Install
4. Click the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and wait until the progress bar is finished.
5. Reboot and do a Nandroid backup.
6. Open ROM Manager and "Install ROM from SD Card".
7. Add Zip:
i) update-cm-6.0.0-N1-RC3-signed.zip
ii) gapps-hdpi-20100814-signed.zip
8. When it prompts, choose to backup before flashing and give the backup a name like "Stock N1 Rooted". Also choose to clear data and dalvik-cache.
9. Wait. It'll reboot and go into the clockwork recovery and automatically queue and flash the two zips. Keep waiting until it reboots again.
At this point the phone should hv booted into CM6. Should I do the restore from the backup apps immediately? Or should I wait for 10-15min market sync?
My major concern will be the data. Is there any problem with the above routine? Please bear with me
Technically that is the way to do it. But some people say that they get issues when restoring titanium backups for certain apps and data. So keep that in mind.
Yeah I read about that too. They said it can be fixed by doing an advanced restore, right? Will u recommend MyBackUpPro instead?
Thanks!

Can I use the RecoveryTattoo script for changing my recovery from AmonRa to ClockworkMod?
Yep I did that to my Tattoo.
Wow! It worked, thanks a lot! I've been haiving some errors when installing ClockworkMod, but this worked. Thanks a bunch!
No problem mate I did that for my mobile so I thought it would be useful to share it with you.
I also reinstall the Stock Rom and tested everything so I am sure that is working.
After installing that you can flash your Tattoo with the latest Kalim's version 2.3.2 with working camera
Thanks a lot!
CM7 was the main reason I wanted ClockworkMod
I think that's the only reason for all of us!!!

1. Open command prompt
2. Navigate to rtattoo directory - C:/rtattoo
3. Write: adb shell
If that can connect to your phone then you are 100% ready to start
Do i have to open the command prompt of the android sdk? Or the "normal" command prompt?
And after that i only have to do following?

Yeah I tried that in a 1.6 installation and nothing affected until I installed a custom Rom where I had to wipe all data and cache first.. Do a nandroid backup first to be sure that you will not lose anything If something goes wrong you will be able to go back using the nandroid.

Thx for your quick answer, nice!
Until now i never used nandroid-backup (on my desire). Making a nandroid-backup means that i can restore the original android 1.6 without wiping or flashing? 1.6 will be restored with all its apps and settings?
If i get a continuous bootloop, is it possible to enter the recovery to restore the nandroid-backup?
btw.: After rooting the superuser-app will be installed?

rootTattoo.bat worked like a charm. No errors, tattoo rebooting. Clockworkmod is available, i already did a nandroid backup.
But now i want to install Titanium Backup to backup some of the apps. But TB always say "no root rights" available. What am i doing wrong?

so my first question is.do you want to keep your rom or are u about to flash a custom rom?
Roms for unlocked Boots. SafeStrap roms: next post.
Be sure to try Xposed Framework http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
This is My Daily Driver. I have been Chewing on a SD Swap to correct the way Moto chose our default storage since I unlocked the phone 6 months ago. These are the base roms I use. Thank You Mhous33. Think a Custom Rom is where to be? I never found one as reliable as stock. Enjoy.
Stock bases:
1)Deodexed 98.30.1 (it is not debloated).
Recommended:
2)DST Odexed 98.30.1 (debloated & fast fast fast) More details.
Be careful about the "phone info app" it can break your radio : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48165372&postcount=8
3)Stock
New link for mhous33 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51042438&postcount=39
Bases by mhous33
Note: mhous33 has modularized his flashes & put modem & boot independent. More details here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49680312&postcount=1
SafeStrap version: see next post.
There is no need for unlocked users to take the ota, this will do the same thing, if you follow my steps.
See Attachments for Rom link (just click it & it should open for you to copy)
Instructions for those on ...94 or ...1 (should work for earlier builds too) who want to keep their data (apps) (beta, Works fine for Me)
1) Wipe dalvik cache, & cache
2) Reboot recovery
3) Mount system
4) Install Rom (from mhous33 above)
Option1) Flash My PP Mod NOTE: this one must come before the next option.
Option2) Flash sd swap update (attachments) & say no to "disable recovery flash"
5) reboot
Instructions for those coming from some other Rom OR do not want to keep their data (apps)
1) Wipe data, & cache
2) Reboot recovery
3) Mount system
4) Install Rom (from mhous33 above)
Option1) Flash My PP Mod NOTE: this one must come before the next option.
Option2) Flash sd swap update (attachments) & say no to "disable recovery flash"
5) Reboot
If you boot on my SD Swap:
Always use TWRP 2.6+ OR Philz v6.
Always choose any NO when rebooting from Philz.
Go Recovery Goodies
Because install-recovery.sh is now an agent in the initd setup & needs to be protected.
Notification Toggles is a great substitute for an extended power menu.
I attached my backup to make setup easier. Goes in (with the sd swap working) storage0/android/data/de.j4velin.notificationToggle/files.
Set toggle per line to 6.
Xperia launcher. Once installed check for update from Sony (twice).
I am testing this perfomance mod & so far it is amazing. There is some lag on SD access right after bootup....
This Audio mod too.
SafeStrap version: see next post.
NOTE: Not for cm based, multuser, or anything but 4.1.2 stock roms!
Be sure to try Xposed Framework http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 when done!
Note: the dst is recommeded over the bloated deodexed as now with odexed being xposed compatible & faster.
SafeStrap compatible rom Version 2 is in attachments. Full bloat versions sans the SD swap. Follow the instructions below & if you want the SD swap just flash the Unlocked version over it before you reboot- follow the same fundamental steps as in the previous post- rom slot OR stock slot.
Added a SS version of Mhous33's debloated odexed rom.
Has the same features as the unlocked version, but better because the cautions about killing the SD swap do not apply to the SS version.
You may have forced closes & wifi problems if you try either version without being on ...94 beforhand as the kernel is newer- beware.
See Attachments for Rom link
Here are instructions from the creator of SafeStrap. Please understand what you are doing before moving on.
Hashcode on SafeStrap :http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
Proceed if you are on stock 98.18.94 or 98.30.1 & have a current backup of your stock slot.
Obligatory warning: UpDating to 98.18.94 or 98.30.1 WILL PREVENT A BOOTLOADER UNLOCK IF YOU FLASH IT TO A LOCKED PHONE.
You can install to rom slots but not to the stock slot.
Here is where you venturesome people need to test if you do try flash 98.30.1, while you are on 98.16.1, that it does work ok. Try everything out before you try to put it on your stock slot. Be warned.
I have been on the ...78 kernel with mous33's DST & have no issues. I speculate that the slight change in kernel #s is for some bloat apps.
Update running on stock slot may cause lags. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50432621&postcount=57
Try on just a rom slot first but there will be no access to internal SD. So be sure to save what you want to the external SD first!
1) Create a ROM slot
2a) Mount system & install My ROM to the same ROM slot
2b) Optional: Restore current data (uncheck system) from your stock slot backup & wipe cache & dalvik cache
2c) Optional flash SD swap update here
3) Bootup the ROM
IF this works for you it is fine as you could delete all of the internal SD from your stock slot. This is the goal anyway & you have less confusion with only your external SD.
Take a more than a moment to read this unique thread on what it means to "write over your stock slot" & at the bottom of page 1 Rik Rong: "That should work," about getting your stock slot back again.
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/11600-installing-custom-rom-to-stock-using-ss-312/
These steps will overwrite your stock slot and allow the full SD swap. BE SURE YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH IT BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Also note in this approach the data/apps you want to move to the NEW rom are to come from your stock slot. If you want the opposite WIP

1) Create a ROM slot
2) Mount system & install My ROM to the same ROM slot
2a) Optional flash SD swap update here
3) Make a Backup of your ROM (save it to external storage)
4) Switch to Stock slot (you know you in stock when "install" and System" turn to red font)
5) Wipe cache & dalvik cache
6) Restore Backup with the data un-checked (if done right the only file available will be the Backup you just made)
7) Confirm restore (Bootup)
8) Delete the slot used.
jvasquezhhi's procedure from RZR
Installing custom ROM to STOCK Using SS 3.12
Create a ROMSlot1
Flash the custom ROM to ROMSlot1
Bootup the ROM
Configure your ROM to your liking (this is if you have other flashable mods like DST or a different SuperUser)
Reboot into Recovery
Make a Backup of your ROM (save it to external storage)
Switch to Stock partion (you know you in stock when "install" and System" turn to red font)
wipe Phone (cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset, System, and finally Internal storage)
restore back up (if done right the only file available will be the back up you just made)
Confirm restore
DONE!!! enjoy your custom rom in stock partition

Anyone using arrghhh's kernel, or keeping stock?
Should i be concerned about it NOT displaying the "Warning, boot loader unlocked" screen ?
That should be specific to whether or not you've changed your boot logo. What is appearing in place of the warning now?
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
just the regular moto logo after flashing this rom. I used TWRP 2.6 came from beanstalk followed directions to T.. root and everything seems to work fine.
So seems no issue. I can still get into recovery. Just worried me because I always saw that "Warning" logo no matter what rom i had on since unlock....
Works good for me. Love the sd swap part. No need to worry about space or hassle of moving apps.
But is there a way to enable tethering without the use of third party app ( i am not on verizon ) ?
Does this rom have the moto smart actions still in it?

The only way we can get it ported is if we find an Android 9.0 with the same chipset (Very unlikely) but keep your eyes peeled and let me know if you find one
Have tried to install, but I can't, I have followed this steps:
1. With ODIN, I have installer this file: I9506XXUDOD3_I9506NEEDOD4_I9506XXUDOD3_HOME.tar.md 5.7z
2. Then, I have booted my device, and then Installed TWRP with ODIN.
3. Then, I copied the ViPER4Android and JamesDSP folder into the root directory of my phone.
4. Then, I did a boot backup, and copied the RESTORE ALL PARTITIONS Folder into the folder where the other backup folder is.
5. Then, I Restored the RESTORE ALL PARTITIONS backup, and then I bootes into the system again.
Idk if I'm forgetting to do some step that is in the tutorial, but I can't find the way to install this I'll be very pleased if someone helps me.
thx in advance

What is currently on the GS⁴ you plan to install this on? Is it custom or is the latest stock build on it?
EDIT: go ahead and flash the stock image provided in my zip. Then after it reboots to stock revocery and does its little thing immeadiately boot back into stock revovery and format /data after that reboot to download and flash twrp. Go ahead and re setup the restore of the all partitios 7z now when you do a restore unclick all the options and restore only the EFS partition then reboot into the still unbooted stock image you odin flashed. Make sure cellular wifi etc works (If the downgrade was unsuccessful then some of those will break) if the downgrade was unsuccessful then do the same thing above except omit the EFS restore and instread boot after you factory rest in recovery.

Once you have stock with no modifications fully functional go ahead and sign in to google and disable the apps you dont use. Here in a few I will post an updated final TWRP image and new preset zip that has my final config that works well on all music tpyes and speaker types.

I think it was from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ase-v7-4-dex-gear-encryption-support.3847061/
If I want to follow those instructions, should I:
1) do a complete TWRP backup *first*?
2) follow the instructions to update the ROM
3) then restore from Titanium Backup?
As I understand it, the TWRP backup is *ONLY* if I want to restore the entire "disk image" and revert back to the ROM I have now, right?
You can use TWRP restore only if you mess something while flashing kernels, magisk modules, Xposed modules, etc .. it is also useful in your first OEM unlock to preserve vendor and ODM images so that you won't have to flash stock ROM again if something go wrong.
If you are asking about restoring apps, SMS and call logs, I highly recommend swift backup. Not for settings though. Personally, I stopped using titanium backup years ago since it is deprecated and last update was in 2019.
