Hi,
This is my second time flashing a rom. I own a rogers captivate and I rooted and flashed to Darky's v7.0 (2.2 Froyo) NO WIPE.
I want to change the rom to Doc's ROM JPY V6.2 CE.
All i know is that I have to copy the .zip folder in sd card folder and flash it using rom manager. Do I have to do the same to flash with this one?
I have read all over the forum and I read that I am supposed to flash back to stock 2.1 and then flash again to a different rom(any other rom). Someone also told me that if I have a NO WIPE version of rom installed then I don't need to flash back to 2.1. Is this true? Can someone please confirm this?
1. Should i just download the rom and just flash through rom manager(if yes, then skip q#2) or change to stock 2.1 first?
2. If i have to change back to stock 2.1, i think I have to use something called ODIN. Can someone explain me the process please? and I dont know where to get stock rogers 2.1 rom. I looked all over the forum.
3. I do not want to overclock my phone cpu. The main post on DOC's rom says that I have to flash a kernel through CWM after first boot. I dont know what CWM means or how to use it. Any instructions?
4. Should I install the Wipe version or the NON-wipe version? and what is the difference? I like changing roms once in a while and I might change it again but I dont know which one I should use.
5. Is this a 2.1 eclair rom or 2.2 froyo? How do i figure it out without installing?
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these questions.
Thanks a lot.
I have always just booted into recovery mode with CWM and flash the zip that way as it works for any rom i have tried so far. I have rom manager but never used it to load a rom since CWM works flawlessly everytime for me.
The simple answer is if your changing ROMs (i.e. Cognition to Perception) - should flash back to stock then load the new ROM.
If your just updating an existing ROM and it has the "no-wipe" version? Then you should be able to run the *.zip provided following the instructions given (most likely through ROM Manager/CWM)
OK, this will be the last question(s) from a noob.
Here's the thing. I recently rooted my X8, installed xRecovery, and also installed Busybox.
I want to install a new custom rom onto my phone and I have searched everywhere for an answer (of which there are many. But very contradictive of each other).
Here are my questions:
Do I have to go back to 1.6 to get the new rom, or can I stay on my current 2.1?
Do I have to install Clockwork Mod Recovery to install the custom rom (which is CM6)?
If the above is true, then how do I put it on my phone after I have already have xRecovery?
How do I get the rom installed on my phone using xRecovery?
And finally. The intended roms zip file says something along the line of update-froyobread.zip. Do I have to install the original CM6 rom on first and then put the intended rom on after? Or can I just install the rom by itself?
I know this question is very noobish but I hope you can be patient and help me...
Thanks in advance.
first you din´t need to go back to 1.6
second you not need cwm recovery
and about the rom you need to follow the instructions in the post of the rom
and you need baseband finished in 15
Thank you I'll give it a go!
I just updated my phone to GB version 20b Singapore starhub rom,rooted and I found my apps and framework under system file is odex.
So my question is....
1)How do I deodex it?
2)I found all the custom rom and theme is deodex,if I install deodex custom rom/theme over my odex,will I get a bootloop?
Well,to let you guys know I just flash modaco GR4 rom and deodex theme...resulting a bootloop but I manage to see a boot animation,after that is bootloop...so it's that normal?!
Lastly can I install Paul's v20l-stock-rooted-deodex.zip file?If so,will my version will be v20l instead of v20b?

Flash any custom ROM, they are all deodexed except if clearly precised. Mostly Paul's ROM are available in odex versions for those who don't want to customize.
If you flash a 20L, you'll have ......20L.
Make a good factory reset in CWM, maybe twice before flashing new ROM, and perhaps reformat /system /data and /cache to be sure.
P.S: a google search is sometimes more fast than asking here ;-)

Thanks for the answer Striatum.
I've try the 1st one xultimate,but get an error in LGE video player when deodexing,not sure what is the error.
2nd one I haven try yet,maybe next time
Well,I've flash Rebuild of Official Italian/European v20l Gingerbread Update from Hell_97 and it's work perfectly.
Ohh..I also copy my original build.prop file and paste it to rebuild one,and guest what...my rom version now is v20b!
Just for my curiosity, why do you absolutely need a 20b version?

Well that's a good question...I don't want to confuse one of my buddy who's also bought the same phone and updated to 20b...
such a noob question. I was wondering if there is a clean way to install the ICS into my gt-p1000. Clean meaning like the way overcome does it. Restore to Stock, then Install via Odin or something.
I am currently on Overcome-v4.0.0 #40 and planning to shift into cyanogen ICS alpha 4. could someone direct me to a guide or tell me how to safely and cleanly install the cyanogen ICS.
or is it fine to flash the Cyanogen ICS while still in overcome? im on ext4 already and my firmware version is 2.3.3

Um, why don't you simply head over to the CM9 thread and read the instructions?

Yeah it should be fine. Download the rom from humberOS website and the p1000 kernel. Boot into recovery, flash the zip and then flash the kernel BEFORE rebooting. Obviouslyif you use a PC to download you will have to put both zips on your SD card. hope that is clear and helps, unless of course you have already flashed it successfully
