Done Rooting Please help

Hello all,
can someone please help me?
i have done the guide of rooting here "How To Root The Sprint CDMA Hero" including backing up and save the nandroid file to pc.
i want to run the Fresh Rom and started to follow this thread from android forums.
androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html
i ran the diagnostics fresh pre-kitchen 0.2 and got an error. all checked mark except java and sendkeys which i received a ? mark.
any help on why i get this?
thanks

Have you tried just flashing the rom? I spoke with someone who ran the diagnostic test and had question marks but he was still able to flash a rom. If you turn your phone off and hold the home button + the power button, you should get a black screen with green writing. If so, you are fine.

yes i do get that green screen.
so what should i do now? like how do i use the Fresh Rom
thanks

*edit..
not in the wiki clearly..
Pull the battery out... While holding your home key, Press power... Continue to hold home... Phone boots into recovery...
Scroll down to wipe... Wipe factory data, dalvik cache, wipe ext... Press back on phone..
Scroll to mount usb... And mount the sd to the computer..
On your computer... Navigate to where you downloaded the rom... Drag and Drop the entire folder onto the sd card...
Press home on your phone to get out of usb mode,
Scroll to flash zip from sd.. and select the rom zip..
It installs.. then reboot the phone..

Download the rom of your choice. Move the .zip onto the root (meaning dont put in any folders) of your SD Card. Turn phone off, hold home key + power button, select flash from sd, select the rom, hit the home key. Wait til it is finished and then reboot.

ok so i am downloading fresh 2.0b now.
no need to extract the file correct or should i extract it first before putting it on the sd card.
thanks

Do not extract the .zip. Just put it directly on the sd card.

Nope it install from the zip.
Now that you are looking into roms be very very very careful.
You can only install roms for the CDMA. There are roms for gsm phones and people screw up and brick their phone that way.
If you stay in this forum then you should be OK unless some asshole comes around.

don't worry about it, since you wiped, the black HTC screen will show up... let it do it's thing, it's a one time deal.
You are going to have to go through the setup process once it finishes loading

[Q] Rooted... now what

Hey everybody. So I rooted by phone following the instructions from theunlockr.com and their "how to root the samsung vibrant/captivate"
and then followed the instructions on their "how to load a custom rom on samsung captivate/vibrant"
Now what exactly do I do? I mean I kind of understand ROMs but if I want to install 2.2 what should I do? Is Cognition a good choice? How exactly would I install that? Also if I install 2.2 would I be able to go back to 2.1 when the official is finally released? I understand enough to mod my phone but not fully enough how to change it back if I mess up. So could I please get some help?
Also:
- What new things can I actually do w/ 2.2?
- Will I have to reinstall all my apps? Contacts?
Thanks in advance!

Download rom manager from market free version
To option flash clockwork recovery
Select captivate
Turn phone off
Vol up and down and power
When at&t comes up let go
Should go into recovery
Select reinstall packages
Brings you back to same screen
Reinstall packages
Should bring you to green recovery
Reboot phone
Power off phone
Remove bat, sim, and external sd
Put bat back in
Usb plugged into computer
Vol up and down hold plug usb in
Should have an orange android with a shovel, you are in download mode
Pull bat, put everything back in boot phone
If you can not do every thing listed I would hold flashing anything
Make sure you have usb drivers for phone installed and pc can see your phone

Don't forget to use Titanium Backup first so you can recover your installed apps. I use ODIN JF6 With 3 Button Fix to get back to stock.
There are a lot of good ROM's out there. I've been really happy with di11igaf's 3.0.2, but it's best to see what the people are saying in each thread and make an educated choice.

Phoenix 4.1 questions

First of all, nice work. Looking forward to 4.5. This was my first custom ROM install, so I have a few questions.
1. I didn't notice the auto-lagfix being applied when I installed. I am getting a quadrant score of about 1060 and it seems most people are getting much higher. Not that I am experiencing a lag, but just curious.
2. I am guessing I should start over when 4.5 comes out. I didn't try anything different than what came with it.
3. I love the orange theme, but would prefer the stock phone dialer buttons. How would I change that?
4. I did notice some issues with internet connectivity using the modem and not wifi. I shouldn't need to enable roaming, right? GSM only should work too? Why would WCDMA even be an option? Is GPRS an option or is it 3G only?
Thanks.

I think Adam usually provides a statement whether or not you can flash 4.5 over 4.1 or whether one requires a wipe, flash to stock, and fresh install. I'm hoping 4.5 can be flashed over 4.1. Unfortunately, I don't have any answers for your other questions.

I was wondering about that myself. I couldn't find the voodoo folder that is supposed to exist to disable/enable lagfix. Any body have any ideas if the lag fix is actually installed with 4.1 or if there is other work required?

It seems to be just fine without it. That makes upgrades alot easier.I hear the folks who have official 2.2.1 overseas don't use a lagfix anymore.

Phoenix is based on 2.2.1 jpy.
As for the lagfix questions, with the included kernel you need to boot into recovery and choose advanced ulk, then enable/disable there.

thanks. ill try that later. looks like a new version of the market and google music might be announced tomorrow.

Went through these steps and it appears to be working just fine. Thanks. So if I need to disable lag fix, I have to go back into recovery and not create the disable-lagfix folder like on the www.phoenix-hq.com FAQs?

Just tried it too. works like a charm and boosted quadrant up to 1300. Yeah I imagine that you(we) have to remember to disable it to flash another ROM.

So flashing the browser fix just involves copying the zip to the sd, renaming it update.zip, and use recovery to apply the update?

You don't need to rename the browser fix zip, or any for that matter. Just reboot into recovery and flash the fix by selecting it just as you do for a rom.

It looks like Adam and Xtreem haven't updated the website's FAQ section in a while. The first versions of Phoenix-Rising used DG's Firebird kernel, which used voodoo lagfix. Creating a file/folder named "disable-lagifx" to disable your lagfix only applies to voodoo lagfix. The lagfix on hardcore's kernel (which is the stock kernel used on both of Adam's roms) uses the ultimate lagfix configuration, which is controlled entirely through the recovery menu. Voodoo and ULF are similar to one another, but the user configuration processes are different.
If you need to reflash something, disable the lagfix first by booting into recovery, and follow the same steps you used to enable the lagfix and just select disable instead. However it is best to flash back to stock first before flashing a new rom, so yea, I would recommend starting over when you're ready to install 4.5
Changing the dialer is not all that complicated. Head over to the Phoenix/Firefly themes thread, you can find a bunch of different flashable dialers over there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896339 Zelendel just finished a few new ones that have the stock button configurations in place. You'll have to look for that post, its somewhere near the last 1/3 of the thread.

quick question ( I would search but its broke, and i cant post in the phoenix thread until i have 10 posts)
Presuming its cool to flash this over 4.1, my brother did it with no problems, i just need to know if i should check backup rom or clear and wipe data in rom manager when i flash from sd card
New to the android stuff, but the first rom i tried to flash it locked up while installing it, he then told me just to flash straight from rom manager, worked great, so im going to try that
Thanks, i asked him but hes sleeping lol

I have the pheonix 4.1 rom. I noticed that using the power button it allows you to choose download mode. If I open odin one click and go into download mode this way will I be able to flash back stock or will I get stuck in file analyzing? I'm a little afraid to try because I don't know if I can leave download mode w/o bricking it. It's a miracle that I got it unbricked when I flashed the first time.

Yes, push and hold the power button gives you the extended power menu. Flight mode, Power off, Reboot, Recovery and Download. I've written some detailed instructions on how to flash back to stock JF6 and Master clear. Which I recommend doing when changing ROM's
Flash to Stock JF6:
1. Download Odin One Click from: http://www.mediafire.com/?0w2y31maz8mdom4
2. Download your Windows Drivers from:
Windows 64bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?3dh4d6up72me9re
Windows 32bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?0b45zo7o75rc5d5
3. Make sure your USB cable is connected directly to the back of your computer, not a USB hub or to a front connection and all of your drivers have been properly installed
4. Do not connect your USB cable yet.
5. On your phone, go to ; Settings/Applications/Development/and check “USB Debugging”
6. Turn your phone off
7. Remove your SIM card and Micro SD if you have one
8. Open Odin One Click
9. On your phone, press and hold the Volume up and the Volume down buttons. Do not touch the power button. If you have a ROM that supports a extended power menu, just press and hold the power button until the extended power menu comes up
10. While holding them, or after you select DOWNLOAD mode, insert your USB cable, wait for a couple of seconds and a yellow triangle with the Android figure will show up
11. You’ll see in Odin, that your phone has been discovered
12. Press “Start”
13. ***VERY IMPORTANT*** Do Not mess with your phone at all. If you lose your USB connection, you could brick your device, and will possibly have to make a jig
14. When it is done, your phone will reboot and Odin will display “Removed”
15. Unplug your USB cable from your phone
16. If you are proceeding to Master clear, you must close Odin BEFORE Master Clear
Master Clear:
1. Ensure you have backed up all of your information onto your Micro SD or your desktop BEFORE doing this. IT WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR INTERNAL SD!!
2. Make sure to remove your SIM and Micro SD if you have one
3. With your USB cable disconnected from your phone, open Odin One Click
4. On your phone, go to ; Settings/Applications/Development/and check “USB Debugging”
5. Connect your USB cable to your phone
6. You’ll see in Odin, that your phone has been discovered
7. Click “Master Clear”
8. When the Master Clear has completed, your phone will reboot
9. The phone is now as it was when it came from the factory

do not rename the file to update.zip, that name is used by recovery. just use the name as it is.

Thanks, I thought I could use the power button. Thanks again for the help.

some quick help please di11i's 6.0

i just flashed back to stock using odin. rooted the phone. installed the clockwork then i went into clockwork and went to install a new rom. i selected di11i's 6.0 rom and its says the following:
installing: SDCARD:dill1s6.0NO_OC.zip
finding update package...
and thats it. what do i do now before it went all the way through and then went back and rebooted and it started up. its like it hung on that part and it wont do anything. i would say its been at that screen for 5-10 minutes and now im worried. please someone give me a little info.
i didnt have enough post to post in the di11i's thread or i would have
thanks

I usually download the rom and place it in the sdcard root and reboot to recovery and install from sdcard.

thats what i did and i selected it in the recovery and went to install and it started but it stopped on the finding update package and i dont know what to do. can i take out the battery and it will reboot fine? i dont know i dont want to mess it up lol

use your key combo to get into recovery, or type "adb reboot recovery" if you have android sdk installed. then flash the zip again.

First of all, pls pull out battery and let us know the build number, if its 10.09 and earlier or one of the 10.10 and later models.
Second, do u have access to recovery console/download mode?
Recovery: Press and hold the two volume buttons, and power at the same time. When the phone restarts and it as at AT&T logo, release power (only). It should show u a recovery console.
Download: Turn off the phone. Hold the volume down, and plug the phone to computer. It should a yellow triangle and an android guy with a spade.
Following instructions are for 10.09 or earlier build phones only.
1. Get into download mode
2. Use the 1-click odin to flash stock
3. Copy the update.zip attached to this post to ur sdcard root.
4. Copy dilli's 6.0 NO OC zip to ur sd card (select no overclock kernel to be on the safe side in case ur phone does not support speeds over 1200)
5. Get the phone into recovery mode (as per instructions above)
6. Select "reinstall packages". U wud need to do this twice.
7. Now ur recovery console would come in green. Select "install zip from SD card", and then "choose zip from SD card", and then browse to the dilli's 6.0 zip file and select it.
Sit back having a cup of coffee, and the phone do its work.
Please let us know if u run into any issues.

thank you guys so much for the help i really appreciate it. i pulled the battery out and put it back in and went back into recovery. i then went to reinstall packages and went into clockwork. then i tried installing it again and it went through this time. i now have rebooted the phone and it is starting up now as i type this. also my phone is the 10.09
android guy is up and looks like its working. thank you all so much you are all getting a thanks from me for helping me out when i thought i messed the phone up. for some reason it had a hiccup. im at the main screen now and is working fine.

Based on ur number of posts, I presume u r new to this.
1. I would recommend u flash stock when moving between ROMs. This is not mandatory, but is recommended.
2. Do NOT use TiBu (titanium backup) to backup or restore any SYSTEM data. User apps and data is fine.

yes i am new to this lol. i was running cognition 3.02 and then just flashed 3.04 over the 3.02. but this time since i was flashing to a totally different rom i went back to stock using odin. and thanks for the tip on ONLY installing user apps and data.

i recommend you build a jig yourself or buy it online:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...25272&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_595wt_1139
it is a very useful tool and will get you into download mode when things mess up. if you will flash / customize your rom in the future, you may need one ...

ya i have another cord i could cut and make one myself. lol this may be stupid but after i am flashed now and its working fine i installed titanium back up pro but its not showing up anywhere in my phone to use it. lol i am a phone noob just tryin to learn ahaha. thanks everybody
edit: i got it now lmao

[Q] clockworkmod recovery

I have a question on the clockworkmod recovery using the ADB..obviously when you try and install it through Rom Manager you only have an option for the Optimus V...so I followed the thread that designgears posted..enabled all the permissions and it seemed to all work...however, after the phone rebooted and I checked my sd card, nothing new was there...there is however a file on my internal memory "mmcblk0p6.backup"..its 10mb...is this the backup file it was supposed to create...also, when I go to Rom Manager and click on CWM it still says its not installed..am I doing something wrong or mising a step..any help is appreciated! I really wanna have this so I can flash a custom ROM...thank you!

You cannot use ROM Manager with the Thrill at this point. It sounds like you mistype a command when you were doing this. I would go back and redo the steps.

I think he may be misunderstanding CWM. In order to see if you have it installed, you need to do the 3 button combo when restarting. If you redo the steps that DG posted, you are probably going to overwrite the stock recovery that you just copied to your SD card.
Try restarting your phone while pressing and holding the 3D button, Volume Down, and then the power button until the LG comes up. Release the Power button only (keep holding 3D and Vol. Down) and it should boot into CWM.

Thanks for your reply! I tried the 3 button combo and it booted to CWM..so thats great...could you maybe elaborate on what you meant by overwriting the stock recovery...did I mess anything up by using the ADB method to install CWM...it says I'm supposed to have a recovery file on my SD card, but as I said, theres a file thats labeled ".backup" but its not on my external card..its under my drive for the actual phone memory...thanks again! I'm really new to the whole Android scene..I had an iphone for the past couple years and fairly good with jailbreaking..dont miss it at all tho..this is a bit more complicated but love the challenge! thanks for your help!

The concern would be if you did the procedure that DG described to put CWM on more than once. Since you did a backup of the stock recovery once, and installed CWM in place of it, if you did another backup of it, you would essentially be replacing your original backup with a backup of CWM instead. None the less, it's not really anything to worry about, because there is a backup of the stock recovery posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 as well as the stock ROM. I just didn't want you to be surprised if you wanted to go back to stock and tried to restore your original recovery only to find that it is CWM that got backed up.
Make sense?

Yes, makes perfect sense..I actually did try that for the second time before I posted here...however, I moved the .backup file from the first try to my external SD card before I tried the second time...so I have a .backup file on my external card and the one from the second try on my phone memory...could i just delete the file from my phone memory and move the external file back? lol...just a thought...in any case, you have a good point with the stock recovery and rom available..thanks again for your help!

No problem. As long as you have a copy of it somewhere, you're golden.

where are the guides for installing clockworksmod, cwm onn the thrill?
People talk about it but i cant find any thing other than people asking about it when searching clockworksmod, cwm

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257588
In the first post is how you go about installing CWM on your Thrill. Best thing to do is read through the posts and understand what you are doing before you start.

Great! Thanks again!

great that did the trick

for everybody who has trouble with where it says the rest will b done on the phones shell in cmd type:
all commands are done on the computer NOT the phone
kinda confused me

i've went through the steps that dg posted at least 5 or 6 times, and as far as i can tell, everything works in adb, but when i try to reboot, it just starts with the lg screen, then att screen and boots like normal, no cwm

yep, power off, hold all 4, release power once LG come up and keep holding the rest, still get att and boot up

You're only supposed to hold the 3D, Vol Down, and Power Button.

ah, i thought it was vol +/-...
that works !! thanks, lol
