You need to make sure your bootloader is unlocked and then depending on what build you have on you will need this root tool

Geez guy don't you read man. You have old hboot so need to change cold.fstab file to 34 to see sdcard again. Read forum mate to find out before flashing anything. I haven't pasted any link to encourage you to read.

for a start i need some info about BL, kernels, baseband and so ...
question template :

If the answer is complicated or otherwise lengthy, avoid the temptation to provide a full answer here. If the answer is truly that involved, this should be answered in another thread outside of this document.

[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]​
Here is global FAQ, when needed, for device specific things, i'll redirect to the right place, same for MiniCM's specific questions.
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
You will find more precise infos in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425240Lucastan96's/sgt. meow FAQ/list (only dedicated to X8/W8!)
[SIZE=+1]Q1: Why ONE only FAQ for theses 3 (4) devices ?[/SIZE]Because theses devices have really similar hardware, and work in the same way.
x8/w8 are one device (only renamed) and is MDPI.
x10mini and minipro are LDPI the PRO has an hardware keyboard that the x10mini doesn't have.​ [SIZE=+1]Q2: Why is there many names for theses devices?[/SIZE]There are 3 names for each devices :
The commercial, the number, and the name used by cyanogenmod:
X8/W8 is known as e15 or Shakira
X10mini is known as e10 or Robyn
X10miniPRO is known as u20 or Mimmi​ [SIZE=+1]Q3: Where can i find my device specific help and informations?[/SIZE]For X8/W8 : here
There is currently no similar up-to-date thread for x10mini/pro​
[SIZE=+1]Q4: How to root?[/SIZE]There are many ways, one of them for X8 are using x8toolbox, or by flashtool and with superoneclick.​ [SIZE=+1]Q5: What is a recovery?[/SIZE]A recovery is a small system that allows you to install roms, backup, restore, and many other things.
In order to install your first rom you will need cwm.
If you unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel cwm recovery is included so you don't need to do anything,
if you can't unlock your bootloader (or don't want) that means you are on stock kernel and you have to install it. Some ways to do it is by x8toolbox (for X8) or manually.
You may have seen the name xrecovery, this is an old and outdated recovery. Most roms need cwm and not xrecovery, you can always check the installation instructions of the rom that you want to install.​ [SIZE=+1]Q6: How to unlock bootloader?[/SIZE]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225​ [SIZE=+1]Q7: How to flash a rom?[/SIZE]Always read the installation instructions of the rom you want to flash. They might be different from a rom to another, refer to "fresh install" if want to know more.​ [SIZE=+1]Q8: How to revive my (soft)bricked device?[/SIZE]For X8.
For X10mini and X10miniPRO (link pending)​ [SIZE=+1]Q9: What is the best rom/kernel/theme/etc?[/SIZE]This is not questio should ask, backup, try and roll back ​ [SIZE=+1]Q10: Backups, what are they?[/SIZE]Backups are something like a picture of your current state, to which you could roll back in case of install/flash/testing failure
they helps you not to lose your settings, apps,data... but may create bug if you restore /data you used with one rom after the install of one other.
More info by stamatis.​ [SIZE=+1]Q11: What is a "fresh install" [/SIZE]This is when you install a new rom, after having all your data/apps deleted, that means :
in ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery you did the following before installing :
formatting /cache, /data and /system
for a non-fresh install but to void some issue, you should
format /cache, /system and wipe dalvi-cache before installing a rom update (don't forget to install gapps too)​ [SIZE=+1]Q12: What is a baseband and its number?[/SIZE]Baseband is part of pre-software of your device, it allows you to connect to network and some other things
You can check your baseband number in settings>about phone.
In order to install a custom rom you MUST have the baseband ending with 015. If you don't have it then you can update with pccompanion, SEUS or flashtool by flashing the generic stock .ftf for 2.1 eclair. (take care you flash the correct stock rom specific to your device )​ [SIZE=+1]QXXX: Where can i find MiniCM range specific FAQ threads ?[/SIZE]
Theses threads are for all the supported devices :
MiniCM7
MiniCM9
MiniCM10​This FAQ will be filled up more later

Probably because of the extra PMEM given to camera in CM10 (I can't tell for sure though).

Wouldn't it be better to just merge this thread and lucastan96's other thread together and include new info? I could help with that and it would be far better than having two threads to server the same purpose. Lemme know what you think about it.

i would agree with you, but in fact his thread (and my MiniCM miniFAQs too) is extremely detailed, and hard to read for people that don't know the device or is new to the forum,
the aim of this (and all others) RC-FAQ is to be short, redirecting to where further infos are, and to be standard and looking like any other RC-FAQ for easy reading:
PG101 said:
The whole idea of consistency is that we are giving out the information in a similar way and users can expect same standards across.
Many of us keep changing phones, and users will know where to find answers if they know that the FAQs follow the same format..
Its like me when I travel overseas, when in doubt, I eat McDonalds, as good or bad the burgers maybe, I know I am getting the same thing at least
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
editing an existing FAQ to get it in the "new recommended way" is really hard, and setting up a new one is easier
this new FAQ should look like these :
galaxy mini
Xperia play
...
Cool. So let's try this.
You keep the FAQ short, while I keep mine a bit more detailed.
Users can ask questions in my thread or yours.
Your opinion on this will be appreciated.
My thread = Lucastan96's thread because he won't be around as frequently as before.

right,
i'll write at top of the post to refer to your FAQ for more precises info, this one is not meant to be precise, just to guide users
users should better ask in your FAQ for general Q, or in the MiniCM dedicated FAQs (for Q related to theses roms)
this FAQ is not a place for people to ask (in the way the RC-FAQs have been imagined)
the aim was to create a short RC-FAQ, and that each dev make one dedicated to their own roms
I will give you some suggestions, of course my post is not a guide, i leave the writing part to you, if you want me to write full answers though im willing to do it, but i guess you want the faq to have your personal touch.

Why did you add the answers exactly from my post?
You can add this as well.I think a good place is below the "How to root".
What about recovery?
In order to install your first rom you will need cwm. If you unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel cwm recovery is included so you dont need to do anything, if you can't unlock your bootloader that means you are on stock kernel and you have to install it. Some ways to do it is by x8toolbox, manualy, by flashtool(?), by the app(?) (im not 100% sure about the last two as i have never used them but i think some users have reffered that they work)
You may have seen the the name xrecovery, this is an old and outdated recovery. Most roms need cwm and not xrecovery, you can always check the installation instructions of the rom that you want to install.

[Q] N7000 4.1.2 root queries - PLZ help RESOLVE some doubts

Hello guys, GREETINGS..
I was a newbie in android a few months back until I found Cursed4Eva forums/vids by ASH & this website..
Thanks to above I have pretty much understood the android concept of root/unroot, roms, flash, kernals, etc..
Now with the help of - (youtube.com/watch?v=rYTnlt1xt4M) I wish to root my Note1.
1. If I just root for now with Link 1 in Downloads section in above video page & say probably in future I wish to install CWM, which is like Link 2 in Downloads section in above video page, then how should I do it ?? Means I'm asking this because the Link1 describes as Only ROOT & Link2 describes ROOT+CWM, I mean whats the procedure to install CWM after ROOT you know ??
2. Is there a simpler way to Unroot, I mean like the same process of root which has minimal downloads, no pc required, etc. This I'm asking wherein I'm just gonna root my device & not install CWM (currently).. I mean I dont wanna download the whole new official rom from samfirmware like - (cursed4eva.com/how-to-unroot-the-galaxy-note)
3. Actually Whats the procedure to unroot & install latest stock firmware coming from Root+CWM & Custom ROM installed ??
4. And finally to receive OTA update on rooted devices do you think this video (youtube.com/watchfeature=player_embedded&v=ky5miA8ilr0) should also work ?? Although I still believe this looks reliable (cursed4eva.com/update-galaxy)
Please resolve my queries which shall enable me to unleash the power of android !!
Thanking you in anticipation
Cheers:good:,
Firoze
If you want help here you shouldn't ask for explanations of other forums or obscure youtube videos.
In XDA you'll find everything you need and can be sure that many members verified and used the tutorials here.
What do you want? Root or No-Root, that's the question.
No-Root: Install a Stock JB Rom with PC Odin (yes you have to download it)
Root1: Install a Stock JB Rom with PC Odin (same comment as above) and root it with Phil's kernel (thread in Original Android development forum).
Root2: Install one of the Custom Roms and follow the installation instructions in the related thread of your chosen Rom.
I'd reply to Ash in the comment section below video....Ash is pretty good at getting back to you with answers or he usually also mentions his email address at the end of the video...

Hi guys,
I'm just new when it comes to installing themes for rooted devices so I'm in need of your help with this concern of mine.
I just downloaded the zip file of custom themes on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459199 and with the instruction given here was so advance in my understanding.
For the requirements, it says I need these two: --Root & CWM, all I got is my phone that was rooted about 2 days ago. I would need to know on where can I get CWM and also a detailed (lay-man's term) instructions on how to install the themes on my phone.
I am in debt to you guys for the help that you will be providing.
Thank you and enjoy!
By the way, I have unlocked my bootloader too. Thanks for the help.
