Okay, recently my phone has been getting on my nervs as time passes and my branded phone doesn't seem to be getting an update anytime soon. I heard of darky's rom and i thought i'd give it a try, and i'm currently in the process of doing so.
Before I continue with a few steps though i would like to kindly ask if anyone here could help me with a few questions, i'm doing my best not to wreck my phone.

[www].darkyrom.[com]/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-darkys-rom-on-2-2-2-2-1-i9000-i9000m-only.1041/
These are the guides i am following.
Q1: Rooting, do i need to root my phone before following the second link? Or is that stuff already inlcuded?
Q2: My phone is branded, any steps i need to do before continuing?
Q3: Do i need to format my phone before continuing?
Q4: Final question: is it okay if i'm on windows 7 64 bit edition or is this rather unsafe?
Thank you very much
If you must install that rom ask Darky read Darkys posts and FAQS .

Hi,
I have just recieved an unlocked G1 in India I have gone through the forums and am confused on how to upgrade my G1 to a cooked ROM
My current firmware is RC27
I would like to load virtuedude's Rogers ROM with exchange support
Based on the threads I have identified the steps to be performed could someone kindly advise me if the order is correct
1. Get Root Access
2. Change Radio
3. Load new SPL

Is this the order to be followed

HI,
I'll be nice.
You need to read the post.

All of it.
Ok i do 4 good deeds a year and this is #2
Basically you already have root (rc27 to rc29 has root enabled )but. You can go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Follow the instructions install one of jf's roms and your all set to flash away . For the SPL you need to do some more research , because you can brick your phone if not done right ,it requires 2 sdcards.so do your homework ....hope this helps
That's it no more , I got to save my other good deeds for something important )
Thanks
Thanks a Lot Guys, Maybe I could create a post once I do it right
job done
thread moved and closed
thank you
it was along time since i could have update my phone.
I have G1, and the last update i did was months ago, couldn't find the time to do it.
now i have two weeks off, i would like to update my phone.
i know that some of you will tell me search on the forums, i did but im confused:
my fw version is : 1.6, with cyanogen 4.2.15.1. the kernal version is 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmod.
i was looking around and understand that there is a new recovery i would need to install (i think i read it as amon ra???)
so to my question is what steps - more accurately, from where should i start update.
as i read on the forums there is kingklick & Cannon202 roms out. cause as i understand it cyanogen stop is support for android ( i read it on his blog - maybe im wrong).
so what steps should i follow in order to have a 2.0-2.2 update on my phone.
i dont need step by step, just if someone can tell me what kind of updates(files) do i need, in order to update my phone.
thanks for everyone who will be willing to help me
You don't need Amon-RA, it's simply preference. And as for 2.0-2.2 talk, if you mean upgrading to his most recent ROM's, read those development threads for instructions. It's pretty straight forward.
thanks for the reply
so do i need to upgrade inorder....
i mean do i need to upgrade first to 2.0-2.1-2.2 or can i go straght to 2.2 from 1.6?
Hi there, i bought recently Nexus One. As I discovered it is Vodafone version of N1. So as You guys know im stuck on Android 2.2.1. I would like to go stright to Gingerbread or CM7. And here is my question. (i know i could serch the forums for answers but many can be outdated or i just dont understand something). You guys are pro's so you will find solution for me maybe in seconds, where i will be serching this for hours.
Ok, questions:
- Can i root my phone using a oneclick? (If i will go fot CM7)
- If i would like to go for offical, stock updates, can i use PASSIMG method from wiki? So then i shuld just download downgrade (FRG33 as i remeber) and, step by step upgrade it to gingerbread, or i must do something before it ?(like downgrading to shipping version, mentioned at wiki before passimg method, im a bit confused). Will i get updates then from google and i wil be mo longer depended to Vodafone?
I will be grateful if You will answer my questions or just dp some quick guide. And sorry for my horrible grammar.
Yes, I also bought a Nexus One with a non standard ROM. Like you said you can use the PASSIMG method to downgrade to a stock froyo ROM (i.e. FRG33) and you will be able to then upgrade OTA stait to 2.3.4.
Best to do some research so that you understand all the ins and outs. Check the wiki.
As Dirk said, the best place to start doing your research is on the WiKi. After you have enough information to ask more specific and focused questions, then we will be able to help you a bit better.
PS. I would recommend just using the standard fastboot OEM unlock method of device unlocking and something better than stock such as CyanogenMod since you're new to the phone. You won't be able to relock the bootloader, but if you're not returning it, that's not an issue.
The answers are:
- Yes.
- Yes, no, yes.
hi everybody!
first sorry for my bad english
ive been reading the forums, and now i want to install CM7 on my N1, but ive updated by ota to 2.3.4

i want to install cm7 but i dont know where to start, ive been reading guides (cm7. unlock bootloader, etc)
i just want to know what to do or which guides should follow
ive been reading i should do a downgrade, then root, then flash cm7, but first i want to be sure what to do, so im here asking at the experts.
which steps should i do, based on the data of my phone??
and if im not crossing any lane or stealing to much of your time maybe can you recommend me a guide/tutorial for each step, cuz i say at the top im a newbie on android devices, and i dont know if "x" tutorial its correct or i can use it on my actual circumstances
thanks for your time

Hi hopefully someone could maybe help me and point me in the right direction as im still very new to android and cant quite grasp what i need to do? and scared ill brick my shiney new phone!!
ok so i have put rowmow ics 4.0.3v1 on my phone but last night i wanted to try and put another rom on but every time i go into cwm it starts to install rom but will not pass setting permissions i am unsure as to what i need to do next
i have cf kernel 3.0.15-19220zclp1-cl131270
superuser and root checker says im rooted?
driving me mad as to what i have done or i am doing wrong
ive read different things here and there and some saying to flash to a kl3 but unsure what that is or if it even right ?
sorry 4 the noobish questions but i guess we have all had to start some where and this is me starting and hopefully soon grasp what i need to do?
many thanks 4 reading this and hopefully pointing me to what i need to do next!!
Looks like you do not have full root.
If you are Noob then you should read all the instructions properly otherwise you would brick your phone.
It is not a good idea to mess with ICS chinese leak, be careful.
i did read all instructions properly and as stated in op thread is was supposed to have full root
now your answer was not what i was really looking for some help or advice would be better rather than stating be careful!!
how can i rectify the problem to get full root back? so i can try different rom
i appreciate that you took time out to read my post but you was not very helpful
you need to provide more info..
if you're trying to go from a ICS rom to a GB ROM then you first need to flash a gingerbread kernel and then reboot recovery and flash the GB ROM from there.
its sorted i worked it out i was going to another ics rom i installed abys 3.9 installed new rom and flashed cf kernel and new rom working fine
probably an easier way to do it but that was the only way i could get past the permission problem

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
You just said "another ICS rom" and mentioned you are a noob, so with so much of unclear things I just wanted to let you know that something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526852 could happen.
anyway, I am glad you could sort it out.
cheers
