I'm new to flashing cellphones. I've installed cm7 but i lost the ability to use the camera which i use constantly, i didn't back up my stock ics and now my phone is on gb and won't root. I know how to unroot my droid x since i've done it many times before... I want to go back to using the verizon ota ics. Can someone please help me find it, i'm in desperate need.
thanks

This is not the thread you are looking for. // Obi-Wan Kenobi
These threads are for the original Droid 1 and Milestone 1.
ps.: ALWAYS make a nandroid backup before messing around with your phone.
If you have Droid X, you should ask around HERE.

Hi everyone, I am trying to root my girl's hero. Her phone is running very sluggish and slow. Any recommendations on roms would be greatly appreciated. I am coming from a rooted samsung vibrant and it seems the process for the hero is very different. I have some questions. What's the easiest way to root and unroot the hero? Where can I find the stock rom that came in the box just in case I mess up? Also, where are the roms for the updates following the stock rom? How easy is it to unbrick the phone? I use odin to flash my phone back to stock when I flash roms. Is it available for the hero? Thanks.
Do a search for Z4root app.
As far as Roms,once your rooted and try different ones.
Sense Roms by:Nfinite,LiquidSolstice,and others
Non-Sense Roms by:CM,AOSP,Decad3nce and others.
Others can jump in and suggest others .I'm on the road try to help more when I get home

No problem,did you get it done?
Actually not yet. I'm just making sure I'm covering all the bases before root. I'll let you know when I do or have problems lol.
rooted and install cm6.1. The phone seem to be definitely better than before.
Great glad you got it!

Hello,
I would like to try flashing my rogers captivate to ICS. Nothing fancy just a astable bug free ICS. However I am on 2.3.3. I updated through KIES a while back and now I have no idea how to root my phone or install roms. I am afraid the last time I looked into this everything was very different. I have read the forums but am still a little anxious.
Is it possible to root and then install CWM or something to install roms from my current 2.3.3 version? If so how may I do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Christopher
By reading all the stickies and reading some more info, you will be a genius at this stuff by the time you're done...
Yeah thats what I am kinda trying to avoid. I have to hack and read so much already it gets really tiring having to keep up with it all. Add to this work and school and its like info overload. I was hoping there might be an easier way than earning another mini phone phD. Thus far I have determined I have to change my kernel... I think? My phone is unrooted. Stock 2.1 to 2.3.3 KIES.
This Site is mentioned for developing. That being said for the rest of us, we are supposed to learn. The reason it's important to read and understand is you can potentially kill your phone.

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong on getting this fone back to stock. So whats the best way or the easiest way.I read so many posts I'm really confusded now. If someone can break it down step by step It would be great..
Are you trying to revert to stock Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich?
Well I want to update to ics and I read to switch back to stock first then update.

To go back to stock gingerbread go here:

Read the second post, I believe it is step 6. It will get you back to gb.
Then go here:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_v....502.56_US.exe
It will allow you to download the ruu for ics and run it. If you have questions about rooting, etc. post them up and we will help get you there.
THANK YOU very much.. i finally got and i did the update through att.
now with the 2nd thing u said do it through the fone or pc cuz they both say fine not found.
now can i do any ics mods without being rooted?

If you are in ics no need to do the second step. Just remember to root the phone, custom ROM, etc. you need to unlock your bootloader first.
Also here is a good source for custom roms:

You will have to sign up to see the vivid forums. They also have how to install videos as well.

So i rooted my bionic back on gb so that i could get rid of all those pesky factory apps that i never use. My friend (running a stock bionic) just got the ICS update from verizon ota. My question is would i be better off taking my phone back to stock and then installing ICS to root for the same reason or is there a way to get the official update and install it?
What you want is House of Bionic (HoB).
Search here or just google it.
A little browsing some of the recent threads, and I believe you would have found this answer posted many times over.
thanks

thanks for your help and i will definitly research my questions more in the future before posting
A guy sold me an ATT Moto X and he neglected to tell me it was rooted. So now I'm stuck with root that I don't really want on this phone. I tried using RSD Lite and the All in One Tool that was posted on here but nothing would work with my computer. So, now im just looking for a stock rom I could flash but I can't seem to find any on here for ATT. Any recomendations to fix this? Lastly, would flashing the 4.4 leak that was posted in the General section work? any help is appreciated.

As long as you are on 4.2.2 you should be able to rsd lite back to the most latest 4.2.2 firmware.
Either way, you can flash the 4.4 leak with fast boot
Moto X rocking 4.4

you probably are doing something wrong with flashing the stock FW. check the threads that talk about it and you should be fine. If you are running mac then there is a thread for that. if not then there is a thread for that as well. post in those threads with questions and you will get answers. i wouldn't take th 4.4 leak because you don't seem like you want to toy with your phone. It's possible that those people that took that leak might have to do a little or perhaps a lot of things to eventually take the real OTA. This has happened with other phones. You don't seem like you want to do that much tweaking so just go to those threads and ask questions there and explain what exactly you are doing and the errors you are getting.

yeah i think ill give that a go again I guess. I used to be into rooting back when I had an S4 but it eventually just became to much of an issue everytime i wanted to install a new rom so I like to stick with stock. Thanks both of you I'll try again once Im home in a few minutes
