Let me say I had an EVO and used Unrevoked to root it and all I did was use that for wifi.
So now I have an unrooted Nexus. I am in a position that I want some of the custom things but have not rooted and a lot of this technical stuff floors me at this point and I do not want to brick my phone.
Can anyone tell me what it means to install via recovery, how to do a backup and what deoxxed (I know it is spelled wrong) is?
I want to put a custom home screen, I like the blue market I see and I like the clear MMS that is posted, but the install instructions just confuses me.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I really am wanting to customize my Nexus 4G.

Check out the One Click Root thread in the Nexus S 4G Development section. See if that helps a little more. Your probably going to get flamed for posting this in this section, but oh well. Read that and try to get rooted first. Then if you need more help after that feel free to shoot me a PM and ill try to help you more. Read different threads as well, just search XDA for root NS4G. Hit me up if you need some help with anything.

I went through the exact same thing. If you start reading more threads it will start coming to you. When you root, you need the drivers (adb and fastboot) installed on your computer, they come with either pdanet or sdk which you can find the download links to with a quick search of the forums. Find the stickied section of NS4G dev section and those should have all the files you need. Cwm is Clockwork Mod Recovery. It is flashed after unlocking the bootloader using a command prompt. After rooting and flashing cwm, you boot into recovery(cwm) and follow the instructions from a root guide to flash your new rom. I think BuglessPete has a great tutorial on root and flashing a rom. Find that and you're good to go. Don't get discouraged. It is NOT as hard or complicated as it seems. You will be surprised at how simple these guys have made it for us newcomers. Make sure you give them a thanks.

So it was a day from you know what. I got rooted first this morning, I did the first update that I wanted which was the blue market, epic fail. I spent the whole day trying to get my market to work again, no go. I had not backed up (stupid me) and when put that new market in it was a FC galore. I tried downloading other market apk's including the market that is due to be released and none would install. I ended up flashing the phone with Oxygen ROM. Now I have to get the phone back to the way I like it, lots of apps to download (not sure why they did not restore since I am set to back up/restore from google servers) and go from there.
I will be doing more I am sure, lots of reading to do. Thanks to the two of you.
Okay i have waited about 2 weeks and scoured the ends of the internet, and maybe i missed something along my search if i did please let me know what post i missed. i would really love to figure this out. So i wanted to root my Cricket paygo desire c, i am not new to rooting (new to rooting htc though) i have rooted about every android device i have ever owned. i had downloaded HTC Desire C All-In-One Toolkit V2.0 [1-1-2013] [PERM ROOT]
if you havent already pls read the directions on this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004198&highlight=all+in+one
Unlocked the boot-loader got all the way through clicked on install CWM it said it had done it. i clicked on the button to push SU through to the phone. went to go to the recovery screen to install su and red lettering appeared. i let it sit like that for about 2 hours trying to be hopeful about it going into recovery. i am too new to post in the all in one toolkit forum and every time i try to message the author it says there was an error. my phone still goes into boot-loader and still boots up just fine but i don't have full root access. so any help would be appreciated. greatly.
no shame self

isn't cricket cdma?
not sure... as far as i know the toolkit doesn't work with cdma anyway
Yes i believe it is CDMA.
this is strange as i have a cdma desire c and mine rooted fine :L all customs roms have installed no hitch
it might be becasue i have a old gsm sim card? i dunno :L
I have the exact same problem ended up bricking my one desire trying to figure it out now im not even bothering trying to do anything with my new desire great thing is I can still go to my bootloader for the bricked cdma but thats it I need to find a way to take my image from my new phone and flash it with adb to bring that phone back alive

i have ran across and tried this method too i run the . bat and it opens up recovery mode and sticks on the white htc screen with red lettering again.. i am starting to feel that this phone isnt even worth the brain power lol.
It IS because the cricket phone is cdma, I did the exact same thing and am just as frustrated because I have also rooted and moved every android I've owned, this issue just never crossed my mind. What we need is custom recovery for the cdma version. If you come across it please post it here, I'll do the same. Thanks

So there's an OTA out there (19.8MB, nothing big), but when it rebooted to update, it got stuck in CWM and I couldn't flash it there. I intended to pull the zip so we could make it flashable (and by "we", I mean someone more skilled than I), but I don't see it on the phone when it's plugged in, and when I check Software Update again, it says no update is available.
I'm well aware that flashing the OTA will likely kill root for me, but at this point, I don't really care. I'm hoping this OTA fixes the few bugs I'm having with the phone, and that's more than worth losing root over for me.
EDIT:

The DL is working again.:good:
Well, I'm no noob when it comes to working with HTC devices as I successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted my One X with no problems back in the day. However, I'm running into a problem with the HTC First. I have unlocked the bootloader, and I am attempting to use the Toolkit to install a custom recovery. Unfortunately, when I try to do so, it gives me the following text:
'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\First_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0\data>
After that it just hangs there and doesn't do anything. I'm not quite sure why it's doing that, nor do I understand why it's trying to access a non-existent folder in C:\
Any insight would be much appreciated.

adb won't recognize my phone. I use the toolkit to install the HTC drivers, but when I run the first script it get a "device not found message"
I'll try this on my laptop, see if it makes a difference. I have rooted many phones with this computer: Xperia X8, Xperia Sola, Atrix 4G, Atrix 2 and adb has always shown something when I run "adv devices" command.
I'm open to suggestions though! I'm running windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, in case this information in useful.
First off, I wanna apologize if the has been discussed.
I see a lot of you broke your device by trying some form of method to fix the device in any fancy way.
I had a friend brick by trying the Cyanoboot method.
First off, assuming you have already got CWM installed via the tutorial that's been posted already.
Secondly, make sure you have some form of way to side load apps onto the device. Be it Dropbox, Google Drive, or maybe your using an ADB method.
Lastly, I have found this to be the easiest way.
So, let's begin. Please make sure you have a way of grabbing ROM Manager, back it up, download an .apk from a Google search or just port it from one device to another via an app.
Once you've found your method of getting the side loaded .apk let's make sure it's installed, any newer version will work(Older versions have been reported of not installing and allowing a proper clean reboot). So let's make sure it's a newer updated version, secondly test it and make sure the version you're using will reboot the device properly without issue. Working? Good.
Now let's use our nifty tool as soon as you have CWM installed, you should get a proper reboot!
This is good.
As a side note, I've had mine give issue and make me wait a few for a full reboot into CWM.
Now you're done!
Flashing ROMs.
It's just as easy as you'd think it'd be as long as you've got a properly packed ROM onto your device.
Note: If you're looking for a tut on porting the ROM, please check the Dev forum as there is a tut posted that is clean and simple using ADB.
Also, there are some that say you can using a cloud storage method.(Try it at your own risk!)
Once you've got your ROM onto Ouya you should check with an explorer to confirm that it was saved onto the device.(I have an issue of downloading things of the Internet with Ouya and them not showing up).
Now, using the method I first mentioned to get into CWM, do so.
You should see an option to search through your internal SD, this would be the next step as we can't/don't have any form of using an external SD, that is if you could connect a flash drive to the back and use it, though I can't confirm it would work.
Lastly, once you've scanned the internal SD and found your ROM, flash it. Sometimes this could take a bit, being my case it took 10m to install Ouya Plus.
If any issues occur, feel free to post and I shall try my best to answer anything!

FAT32 is more or less the "golden" standard for portable devices. glitchhaw, you are aware that exFAT is one of the most laughably locked down filesystems for portable devices out there, right? If you're being official at all, you have to pay royalties to Microsoft to be able to work with exFAT, and I doubt OUYA built support in for that.

i know that I don't like exFAT and that its annoying and glitchy sometimes with android.. but I don't like the fat32 4gb limit.
i wish CWM/TWRP worked with NTFS or EXT, at least they are more reliable.

NTFS support can be added at the kernel level, but I don't know of any recoveries that support it, sadly. And that's unfortunately the nature of the beast, and probably why many recoveries will break files up into multiple archives.

I'd assume if it's not working that way then to try the ADB method instead, again, please report all issues to me.
Do you have CWM installed, on a final note?

I have to say this is probably the worst how to/tutorial I have seen on XDA.
If you're intent is to help users inexperienced with CWM, then you need to write clearly defined steps. The whole thing is vague. You don't give links to a single file or other tutorial, a how to shouldn't keep telling people to do a Google search for things. On four steps you make people search for files or another how-to.
What is the new version of Rom manager? How do you make sure it will reboot the device properly? Be specific.
You say flashing Roms is easy as long as you have a properly packed Rom. How does one go about checking that? How do you flash the Rom?
This is what a how-to is supposed to include. This is equivalent to just telling people GIYF and RTM.

There's no need to bash peoples thread first of all.
And secondly, you'll be reported for this.
As of how to to do this, I can't always "be specific" like you want when I post a good amount of this from my phone, so do be prepared for a tut that's not fully helpful.
Lastly, I HIGHLY doubt that you've read every tut on here, and trust me, I've seen so much worse that go down to the nick of; "If you wipe and install first, this version will fully brick the device, this version will half brick it".
So explain to me, since I've made ROM packages, I've had more tuts than just this, what do you wanna see more in a tutorial from me? Tell me and I'll try my best to help.
Don't go barging in with the intent of anger in mind and begin bashing me to the fullest.
Most people PM me and I give them what they need if they can't find it, as for you? Nuh uh, after this, NO is my final answer.

You reported me for what? That your feelings are hurt?
Ostensibly you created this tutorial to prevent people from bricking their OUYAs. That is why I was expecting a detailed walkthrough and was very disappointed. You created a tutorial on your phone that is lacking vital info that I have already detailed. I did not bash you to the fullest. You admit that your tut is not fully helpful, and I've seen other comments on another tut of yours that were a great deal harsher than mine about your motivation to post a poorly written tut.
I apologize for the severity of my opening line. I was and am annoyed that the "how-to" does not provide any info vital to users so that they don't brick their OUYA. Every time they are sent elsewhere for a file or info there is a risk of getting bad info or a malicious or corrupt apk. I outlined a lot of the information I think should be included. If I had all the answers I'd have included those as well, but I am here because I thought I could learn something. Maybe I still will.
Edit: I see now what type of person you are and how helpful you can be. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43031832 so the next time you see me ask for help go ahead and flame me. Don't worry I have a thick skin, so I won't feel the need to cry to the mods you hypocrite.

Don't worry, this morning I was frustrated.
I'm sorry, tell me what you think I'm missing and I'll add the quote to the OP.
I plan on doing a video tut though.

worst
this is the worst tutorial I've ever read on xda. mods please take down this how to brick your ouya tutorial before people start downloading wrong files and bricking there ouya.
Okay where is your full proof method of rooting and installing cwm on the ouya?
Sent from my Vivid 4G using xda premium
Going by the threads opened/posts by this fellow, maybe a sticky to let people know who to avoid is needed.
OP, maybe your're over-enthusiastic over your new Ouya, but XDA prides itself on people who actually KNOW what they're doing to help, not rambling nonsense.
Just got a new Verizon Nexus 6. Never rooted or messed with android in my life. I installed Android M on it (with hours of frustration) and then was following a guide to root it while being on Android M. Somehow I deleted EVERYTHING on the phone, it says the phone is corrupt and wont start when I try to turn it on. (I have Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.7.1) How can I fix this ASAP? Have no idea how. I just need a working phone. Please help thanks!
If you can boot into TWRP just download a ROM and push it to the device and flash it. If you can get into bootloader you can flash a factory image to fix.
If you've never rooted, let alone even used Android, why the hell are you installing a dev preview onto your device? Guess you found out the hard way. Just saying....

Yeah I agree. I need some one with skype to walk me though it. I literally followed step by step guides on youtube without knowing what I was doing, it was my fault.
Did you ever figure it out. I have no problem walking you through it. Just shoot me a pm and we can go from there.

I hope everything turns out okay and you get your phone working again. I would Skype with you but I'm on dad duty with my kids tonight. Good luck!

That was your mistake. If never messed with Android worst thing you could do is jump right on a Beta build.

Easy to fix if unlocked and have TWRP. Recommend going to stable build first and work your way up. At least will have a working phone. Make a backup up stable build and then play all you want. Could have made backup of stock before even flashed M and would have been golden.
What did you do when you got the corrupt message? I'm asking because many people get this message but if you ignore it, it should boot up anyway.

It sounds like all you need to do is: when you get to that "phone is corrupt" screen, press volume down and then the power button to continue.
