Rom Flashing and Rooting
To answer your question I do not know if a 'all knowing a powerful tutorial for flashing rooting and about roms' but I can get you started.
TERMS:
CWM = Clockwork MOD (A tool that is flashed to your phone through the "update.zip" method. It allows installing of custom roms and kernels that are not supported by the stock recovery app.
KERNEL = A part of your operating system that handles things like CPU configuration and file system structure / formatting.
ROM = A piece of software that will change the functionality or look of your phone
1. Google "Z4mod XDA" and download that. It will root your phone for you very simply by following the instructions in the APP.
2. Download "Clockwork Recovery" by way of Google. A) Put it on the ROOT of your internal SD card making sure it is named "update.zip". B) Power off your phone. Remove the battery, put it back in then while holding VOLUME UP and MENU press the power button until the screen turns on then let go of all three. Use the volume buttons to navigate to "apply sdcard update.zip" and apply it. Now repeat this process from part B.
3. You now have a rooted phone with CWM.
IN MY OPINION...........
4. The best kernels our there at the moment are by RASDEEP or HARDCORE, these can be found by way of XDA forums. Follow the instructions in their posts on installation instructions.
5. The best roms that are currently available are either by DARKYY or DOCRAMBONE / Kalpik
(Darkyys v5.6 or DocROM)
Follow the instructions in their posts to install their roms.
Hope that this helps,
Alex

[Q] help : Power button fixed, need to root..

Hi guys,
The power button on my nexus one died, and I tried to get the phone replaced by htc singapore.. but all efforts were futile. So they replaced the "Rigid FLex" jacket for free and gave me back the phone..
I dont really have any complaints, other than the power button still feels flimsy and I dont trust it, since it causes a lot of inconvenience.
NOW, can I use the volume key or trackball to wake the phone up ?
Would any of these buttons Die like the power button (are they equally flimsy ? )
Ive been reading on custom-roms which will add trackball-wake-up option..
-Could you point me to the most stable rom? (Im running froyo frf91)
-If rooting is required, could you point me to a newbies guide to rooting..
Thank you

Thanx..
I did use the search button, but it gave me tonns of threads, with a 100 pages in each..
So I had to start this thread.
My phone is unlocked.. (sim-free)..
There is no SIM-locked Nexus in existence, as mentioned multiple times. "Unlocked" stands for "Unlocked bootloader", doesn't have anything to do with SIM. Yours is locked, since you just got it and never unlocked it.
I suggest you read the Wiki instead of continuing this thread, read all the guides, use 1-click root application and DO NOT use ROM Manager. Learn to install the custom recovery yourself, and to install ROMs using the recovery. Everything is written in the Wiki.
The most stable yet heavily customized Froyo ROM would probably be Enomther's, which I personally use.

Thanks for the clarification.
Hi, i was reading and stumbled on Softroot.
I cannot find more info on it..
Its apparently, temporary rooting.. like jailbreaking..
Can I do a softroot to achieve the track-ball wakeup ?
Use Universal Androot.
There is no "temporary rooting", and rooting isn't equal to jailbreaking, it's a different thing, done for different purposes. Rooting is permanent, otherwise it's worthless. Having 1 session of root access (until reboot) doesn't accomplish anything, unless all you want to do is delete some system application or something of the sort.
@jack_R1
Hi, I used the 1Click Androot app to Root my device. Im backing up apps and settings using titanium backup.
My next step is to flash the custom rom.
Im deciding between Enomthers 2.11.3 NOT Pre_Themed ROM, and Nightly's CM6 for Nexus one..
So to clarify things, I need to
1 rename the Custom rom to Update.zip and paste it to the Root of SD card.
2 Rename the Amon recovery image to recomevry.img and paste to root of SD.
3 Turn on the phone while holding Volume Down
4 Select "BOOTLOADER" from the menu
5 Select "RECOVERY" from the menu
6 Select "Flash update.zip" or "Flash ZIP file"
7 Turn off verification, if such option is presented
8 Select your downloaded ROM image
9 Wait for the flash to finish successfully, if it didn't - do not continue!
10 Return to main recovery menu
11 Select "Wipe"
12 Select "Wipe data / factory reset"
13 Select "Wipe Dalvik cache"
14 Return to main recovery menu
--> Reboot the phone
?
Is there anything missing? please lemme know. I wanna do this asap.
Also, Im already updated to Froyo Radio (v4.06...) so I do no figit with radio .. correct?
-Also, when do I configure SpareParts? (before or after flashing) ?
-What is the difference between pre-themed black text and pre-themed white text? (black notification bar with white text on top)?
Thanks!
You got some things confused.
1. No need to rename it. Using custom recovery lets you flash anything with any name.
2. Since you rooted using 1-click root, you don't have a recovery yet. You need to flash it before you reboot to it. Read and execute: Nexus One Wiki / Recovery Images / Amon_Ra's Recovery / using flash_image method. Link for your convenience. You could also go to Developer section and download the latest 1.8.0.1 Amon_Ra's recovery instead of 1.7.0.1 in the Wiki. I'll update the Wiki to give a choice between the two.
3. Continue your list till the end.
Nothing needed for the radio, if you're already on 4.06.
Spare Parts will appear only after flashing the ROM.
Pre-Themed black text is regular, white text is for black notification bar - just as you wrote.
Personally, I run Enomther's since Froyo is out. Before that I was using CM. You might try them both and see which you like more.
Well, thanks for the reply.. Ill look into it after the ADB hurdle.
Presently, Im stuck at the ADB step..
I got the android sdk package, got nexus one drivers.. but for whatever reason, it wont show my device in cmd prompt..
I have pretty much memorised the adb for beginers guide.. but no luck..
(Im on Win Xp)
This is turning out to be a pain in the rear end..
You don't need ADB to flash recovery.
Follow the guide I've pointed you to.
Return to ADB once you're already on the custom ROM, it won't run away.
Flashing the recovery image was quite a task!
Luckily I googled and stumbled on a thread where YOU mentioned to download and install BusyBox.
So yes, Ive flashed it finally..
Im downloading the Enomthers ROM now.. slow net connection.. will load it in a while if it allows.
Thanx a bunch!
hi..
Done installing custom rom.. it was pretty staright forward once recovery img was flashed.
I would like to add some info, for someone who stumbles on this.
In recovery options,
For backup/Restore.. when you select Nand+Ext, and end up getting 'Error...Run nandroid-mobile.sh', press back to goto the main menu, toggle USB MS (mass storage) on, plug it to the computer, delete the nandroid folder, and try again.
If you still get the error, delete nandroid folder, and this time select 'Nand backup only'. if succesful, proceed to copy the nandroid folder to your computer.
So far Ive installed themed enothmer rom.. and its decent.
Will customize it tomo..
For the time-being, ive noticed one issue/bug .. the LED light blink interval is too quick even on selecting 'Slow'.
Thanx Jack!
You're welcome.
Thanks for reminding about the need for busybox to execute chmod and such. Added to Wiki instructions.
Hi,
Now that Ive successfully flashed a custom rom, and its working fine..
I noticed an update to enomthers rom. (v2.12.2)
I want to flash this rom, so do I have to re-flash recovery? and then flash this new rom?
Or just flash the new rom? but then do I wipe/factory reset and wipe Dalvik cache of the device?
Actually restoring the data (especially mesages and apps) is quite an issue, it takes a while (considering im on EDGE)..
also, is it recommended to make an apps2sd partition on SD card? I did get low memory warning on internal memory.
and last, I just want the black status bar and 'some' custom icons (not all), so is there a way to install these on otherwise stock looking enomther rom?
I know they are some noobish questions but I need answers..
Thanx
You don't touch the recovery once it's flashed, as long as it's working. You just flash the ROM using the recovery that you already installed. And don't do any wipes - so you won't have to restore the data.
Apps2EXT (EXT2 partition for apps on SD card) is great and highly recommended.
You can apply themes, simple as complex, using morphs.
Hi Guys,
Need your opinions again.
I was extremely satisfied with Enomthers 2.14.4 rom, till the update notifiation appeared.
Ive waited long enough for an update from Enom, but he has his reasons, and I dont see an update in the pipeline.
So I need to get a new rom & it should have have trackball wake up/vol keys wakeup (cant afford to break the power key).
Also Gingerbread, and Apps2SD (+).
Now Ive come across two roms,
a) Nightly's CM rom
b) GRI40, system dump + unmodified stock n rooted rom.
So which one should I get?
Also whats the difference between nightlys CM rom and CM rom ?
Also, I see I need to update the radio, so this has to be done before flashing rom or after?
I have flashed AMON RA's recovery 2.0, do I need to flash anything else?
Remove the update notification and return to being happy.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Stock GRI40 doesn't have any mod for trackball/volume wake. So for now you're out of options - you have to use a custom compiled AOSP Gingerbread, which point you towards CM7/SuperGinger/Leo's Ginger/etc. Currently none of those are as stable as Enom's (I've tried 2 of them).
I can also suggest flashing FOTAKill (use Google to find, learn and download) and keeping with Enom's. That's what I'm doing now. And after a brief experience with MyTouch 4G, I'm seriously considering flashing Froyo Desire port.
Thanks for the prompt replies. Really appreciate it.
For now I can live with enomthers rom. Its not giving any issues. Its got everything I need, other than gingerbread.
the Gingerbread update is glued to the taskbar, and doesnt pop-up at all (doesnt intervene/hinder ) in regular operations.
So ill patiently wait as well
thanks again guys!

[Q] Totally Noob, about rooting etc.

Hello!
I bought few weeks ago Samsung Galaxy S and love it! But there is one disappointment, and its the lagging, as you all know.
Im so noob when it comes to the mobilephones etc. so I need You're help about rooting my SGS;
-First of all, I have FroYo installed and I red that RyanZA's z4root is the easiest way to root You're phone, is that right ?
-Secondly, should I somehow backup my current ROM, in case that I need to send my phone to service OR is my warranty fully gone if I start doing these things ?
-Thridly, I red that you cannot have eg. 'LagFix' IF you havent rooted your phone first ?
My mainly consern is that I lose my warranty, doing these, so is it possible to get your phone to "back to normal" somehow (backup etc.), why is that my concern, I just dont trust phones (My previous experiences)
So pls help me with these and pls remember to write it down like speaking to a child cos really im so noob with these thing!
Thank You so much for help !
-Niko
Rooting the phone and applying a lag fix is pretty straight forward using the method you outlined is fine just make sure you have 3 button recovery if you do then with common sense its pretty hard to get into trouble.
Im currently running stock jpa from samfirmware with cf root kernel (this provides root amongst other things) and oclf for lagging issues and all is running well.
As far as backing up rom i use rom manager as most others here do, you can always get stock firmware version from samfirmware just in case things go wrong.
Run the backup before you apply the lagfix.

Very much appreciate your comments guys and help! But now I have another question, how do I backup ? Is there any program in the market for that, or should I do it myself ? Is there anywhere instructions for that (instructions for noobs maybe ? )
Thank You again!
-Niko
to back up apps use titanium backup and to make a complete system backup use rom manager. From memory you can install clockworkmod recovery within this app then its just a matter of clicking backup current rom...very easy.

So my noob TUT
Check if you have 3 Button Methode
1. Power off phone
2. Hold Volume Down and Home Button pressed while Power on (release it when u see the first pic at the screen)
3. when you see the recovery then go to the next 1... if not then follow this TUT [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698 After this you can go to the second 1. ]
1. Check your Firmware* and flash the right CF Kernel with Odin
2. Download Rom Manager
3. Install Clockworkmod recovery (in Rom Manager)
4. Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery
(Maybe you must press update via update.zip)
5. Navigat to Backup/Restore
6. Backup
7. Wait
Then Apply Lagfix.. Look maybe for Hardcore's Speedmod or Ya-OK Kernel
Hope it helps

Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated.

You've to root your phone and install CWM first. It's pretty easy to do. Open up the dev section and you'll find everything there.
Once done, select the ROM that you need. ICS Stunner v5 is by far the best ICS ROM for GN. Read it's forum in the dev section. If you like it, follow the steps mentioned in the forum, it's pretty simple.
Come back if you need any help!

I would wait for the official ICS, because if you want to revert back from Custom ICS Roms it sometimes becomes complicated.
I think we'll see the official ICS May 2012.

Well y'all keep thinking ....or just take the leap like everyone else did....do your home work...like"how to root galaxy note". Hint....plenty of threads and videos out there
...good luck and Godspeed
Sent from my fingas to your face...
There are quite a few threads for letting you know the detailed process of installing ICS on Note.
You will have to root your phone first. There is also a nice list of methods to do this.
Go to the Developer section and check the 1st post of ICS Stunner thread.
Read it carefully and also watch the youtube vidoe. All the steps are listed for a newbie..
starting like so......
!) are you rooted ? if not check here
2) are you familiar with how to get to Recovery mode and download mode ? else read carefully
* Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button Until N7000 Boot appears Leave Power Button but keep the other two Buttons Pressed you'll get to Recovery Mode with some options.
* Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button Until n7000 Boot appears leave Power Button keep the other two Buttons Pressed you'll get to Download Mode
- PS : Basicly Up Means Recovery And Down obviously means Download thats how you get to the modes. now recovery can clean applications cache and lets you factory set your device (as if you just bought it and started for first time) other than that you need to know what a kernel is (Android Base and it's a Linux kernel) you can flash any you like as long as it matches your phone's Type example (N7000 kernels match GNote) but I9100 doesn't neither do others so watch for this and mainly search in the right forum so you wont get too far, flashing isn't risky that much but keep your files saved.... especially EFS folder for IMEI (there are many ways in each ROM thread you'll probably have the method and explaine of it NOW WATCH OUT TO FLASH CUTOM ROMS YOU NEED ROOT AND FOR Samsung (ROOT == Void Warrenty) so take the risk at your shoulders we are not responssible for any mistake read and follow read 10 times and act once so you wont fail
Download means using Odin and flashing from PC, Increases counter in Download Mode so Samsung will know that you flashed something and it wont intrest them what cause you have no warrenty left, if you flash stock ROMS (not modified) the counter wont increase, most cases you do that if you have a region problem or a curiosity or even a soft brick (means your phone has no Recovery Mode and no Vibration or even a screen text just Download Mode works (u'll use odin to wake it up by flashing a stock ROM) a hard brick means no one can help you if its caused by flashing only a guy or company which repaires and uses JTAG or replaces part (MotherBoard).....
for now thats all....
now installation is simple ROOT and flash that ICS Look theme thats it after you ROOT you'll CMW mostly with SU (SuperUser) permissions so no need for odin flash via Recovery options... and you're set!
GOOD LUCK
* any kernel will do you for a GingerBread ROM (Stock == Factory) but watch for ICS Repacks not just any works. may get Bootloops if wrong

Let me try to help you even for a bit..
1) ROM is phones firmware like stock ROM are firmwares that are provided by samsung and custom ROMs are made by community and they are mostly android 4.0/4.1 vs 2.3 stock
2)kernel is heart of android OS it loads essential files during bootup to make android boot. (it is certain for device/android version)since you are a newbie dont get into kernels that much
3) "how android actually works?" well thats a bit hard to explain... Android runs on linux kernel its a set of framework files that run system apps from /system/app as i know (i may be wrong)
4) changing ROMs is quite easy:
first you have to root your device with a rooted kernel (since you on stock gingerbread) search a kernel for your firmware (you may use CF-root)
second is you have to have ClockWorkMod (CWM) revocery installed so you can flash custom ROMs (usualy you get it with CF-root kernel)
To flash a rom you should:
-Download it on your SD card (preferably internal one)
-reboot into recovery mode (Power off your device, after COMPLETE powerdown hold POWER+VOLUME UP+HOME(middle) keys and wait untill "Galaxy S I9000" pops up
-do (navigate with volume up\down keys and select by middle key)"Wipe data\factory reset" then do "Wipe cache partition" after that go to "Anvanced" and select "wipe dalvik cache" after that return to main menu (***GO back*** button at bottom) and go to "Install zip from SD card" > "Choose zip from SDcard" and pick your file and finally after that reboot and your rom flashed (WARNING flashing a rom wipes all your data)
-
-I just told you how you do it, but since you`re a newbie i recomend you learn more about all that stuff and only after that give it a try. I hope ive been some help, if you want anything else, ask here or PM me. Take care!

How do i download files from multiupload

Hi All, This is an All-in-one thread with available roms (for both Eclair and GOT 2.2.1 leak), how to root + apply roms for GOT 2.2.1 Leak, petitions, projects, etc. Please read everything carefully and good luck
(SCROLL DOWN FOR LIST OF ROMS, PETITIONS, ETC!)
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if anything happens to your device. Please read the whole text over before applying roms. Use at your own risk.
It is strongly recommended that you wipe data + cache + dlavik (may not be spelled right) cache before applying ANY roms.
Also, make sure to have vulnerable recovery and root installed (I do not think you need vulnerable recovery for 2.1 BUT ROOT IS NEEDED) However it is acquired, root is needed.
Also, MAKE SURE YOU NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING TO YOUR DEVICE!!! GOOD LUCK
How-To Root (On GOT 2.2.1) (All the files were taken straight from the GOT homepage)
Note: Please, make sure your device is fully charged before you attempt to do this!
The following files all have vulnerable recovery pre-installed:
DACH – GERMANY :
http://www.multiupload.com/G9PP7JN78C
DACH AUSTRIA :
http://www.multiupload.com/P8DDXCWW03

UK RETAIL (RTUK) :
http://www.multiupload.com/60B78PRKNY
TELUS CANADA :
http://www.multiupload.com/5S2CYGP3VW
Download the file according to where you live.
Now, you must install RSD Lite (taken from http://tinyurl.com/3xg5xwj):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N1MPCX1U
mirror: http://www.multiupload.com/jw25luksh2 (not tested by me, found from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983516 thanks nagi603 and eXtink please report in comments if it works!)
I'm pretty sure you may have to install the drivers for your device, a simple google may help. - This may be required.
Next, open RSD Lite and click the "..." and navigate to the file you have downloaded above.
Next, plug in your phone in bootloader mode. To do this, turn your phone off, then hold the power button, the top volume button and the camera button at the same time. Then you should enter bootloader mode. It should say Bootloader at the top. Make sure, at the bottom it says "Battery OK". Please, make sure you have fully charged your device! Then click the start button. Wait for a while.
Once its booted, plug the device into your computer via usb, then go to memory card access. Then go to the root of the sd card (on your computer)
Now, download and OR (For this tutorial, I will be using Androidani 3.3, the link is a the bottom).
In the rar file there should be two things. One should be a folder named "OpenRecovery" (Note: Make sure thats the file name!) and an update.zip file. Next, put the OpenRecovery folder in the root of your sd card. (If you have never used an OR before, you should NOT have to replace anything!) Also put the update.zip in the root of your sd card.
Next, turn the phone off. Now, while turning your phone on, (THIS MAY NOT WORK FOR SOME PEOPLE) hold the camera and power button until you see the M logo, then release the power button but keep holding the camera button. You should see a caution sign. Next, click the up button (on the volume rocker) and camera button after. Keep trying it if it doesn't take you to a menu. Next, slide out your keyboard then using the d-pad navigate to "apply update.zip" and click the middle button. Once its applied, you should have a bigger, longer menu. Then navigate to root phone in the new menu. Once this is done, you should be rooted.
How to apply custom roms:
Now that you have root and an OR (Open Recovery), turn on your phone and plug it into your computer in memory card access. (Or, you can navigate to the OR [By above method] and click memory card access, it should be the first or second option in the menu)
Once you are at the root of your sd card, go to OpenRecovery folder, then click updates. After that, put a rom that is an UPDATE (Some roms are not, some can be nandroid backups. It should specify on thread) For example, as of now, cyanogen mod by kabaldan is an update.
If the rom is a nandroid backup (Again, it should specify on thread) (For example, as of now, MotoFroyoSense is a nandroid backup), then navigate to the root folder then go to nandroid folder and click one of the folders within the nandroid folder (any, it doesn't matter) and put the nandroid backup (AS A FOLDER, not rar) and finally, turn off your phone.
Then navigate back to the OpenRecovery menu and click updates (if its an update rom) and click it, or if its a nandroid, navigate to nandroid then nandroid restore, and restore the rom.
Remember to wipe before you apply any roms!

I think these are compatible with both 2.2.1 (GOT leak) and 2.1
MotoFroyoSense by Dexter Picard. This is a Desire Z port to milestone by the great Dexter Picard. (I can confirm this working on 2.2.1 GOT leak using Androidani 3.3 and wiping dlavik cache + cache after nandroid update. I DO NOT THINK YOU CAN WIPE DATA SO YOU MUST NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL):

HTC 2.1 Senseui Mod for Milestone by Dexter Picard. This is a 2.1 sense port from Desire ( I think). (This can be confirmed working for me on GOT 2.2.1 leak using androidani 3.3 and wiping dlavik cache and cache after nandroid backup. )
Other Roms that I am not sure if are compatible with 2.1 or 2.2.1 (GOT LEAK)

I believe that multiupload has been taken down and replaced by crapware provider iLivid. Consider them broken links. I would post 'em if I had 'em.
I think we're at the mercy of this 'low activity devices' forum category.
