THANK YOU

I think the first thing you should do is download the new google apps. You can get them through a search. Go back into recovery and flash the Gapps.zip file. You will then have the market and all the google apps. There is a "rule" that any cyanogenmod ROM cannot have the google apps inside it and must be flashed separately. Go back to where you got the ROM and you should be able to find the Gapps.zip file. Try that first. I am not sure how to get you back to stock, but someone might be able to help in that situation.

If you have a custom ROM on the phone, the hard part is over. Just flash the Gapps.zip file and you will be done. Just breathe and relax. All will be fine.

ok but
im new to the going to recovery and flashing files inform me with a little more of that process been looking it up but know one speaks english when it comes to flashing.

I would go to theunlockr.com. That is where I went to learn how to flash ROMs on my Eris. Look under the how to section for your phone and how to flash a custom ROM. It should give you all the info you need there. Try it out. You will end up with a phone that you will want to keep for a while still. Give yourself time to learn and you might be flashing ROMs daily just to try them out. It will become second nature to you. Trust me, it has for me.

You Have Been Alot Of Help But What About Firmware and Base Band Issues
I put this Sapphire rom on my phone figured out how to put all the good apps and stuff back on but now i have firmware 2.2 so does that mean i can go back to and roms that worked with 2.1 or 2.0.1

If you mean you want to go to previous iterations of android, its entirely possible just find the right rom, and concerning baseband, depending on what you mean by that, you will have to go to your carrier to flash your phone if your service isn't working, but a baseband update is available via rom manager, though as far as I know thats only to increase internet speed. Btw, noone should have to play games of chance to find a solution for an android fix, or be having to search for hours, either, android= ease of use and application, also, your completely welcome to these forums, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[Q] Can't restore via CWM [fixed]

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to the modding of Android phones (my previous phone was a TYTN II) and I'm having some problems restoring my backups via Clockwork mod (which is a bit of a pain in the ass for me, as I think you understand).
Ive tried to flash my phone and stuff, but I can't download apps from market/start google talk (I know this is related to eachother) when I have a mdc rom installed. This is not really the problem I'm asking a solution for, but the real problem is, that I can't go back to my old rom and stuff. I have rooted my phone, installed CWM, made a backup, but somehow it keeps freezing at the loading screen of the phone whenever I have restored a backup and reboot the phone.
Atm I have resetted my phone with NVFlash, I have not yet innstalled anything but I still have a backup which I'd like to restore. This is my situation:
LG-P990: Android 2.2.2, Baseband 1035.21_20110315 (I updated this with Paul's update), Kernel 2.6.32.9, Build: FRG83G, LGE version: v10b.
Anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong? Did I miss a step in the process? Please help me out!

I'm no expert, so you should probably wait for one of them, but I had a similar problem and it's important to do a wipe before installing the ROM. (There's two wipe options, run them both)

please check if the DATE in your settings is correct. the rom I had previously installed was set to MAY and this made it impossible to use gtalk and download roms.
yeah sounds silly, but worth checking
ah well since you have reset already. but maybe you get back in the same situation at one time.

Thanks for the quick replies.
@Marco_ch: I already tried the date problem, literally went thru 100 of pages to find out what the issue was with the gtalk, but nothing helped, so I'm guessing I made a mistake with the rooting or something...
I already reset, but this is the third time I've reset, I've already tried flashing my device 3 times and each time I end up not being able download apps.
@Jakkelomme: As far as I know there is only 1 wipe option? Reset factory settings? I always do that before I install a rom yes.

well I had the same problem (gtalk, market) but I gave it another shot with this:
http://romkitchen.org/lg/?s=generator
its running brilliantly on my device. have you tried that one yet?

Tried it a few days ago, when it was anotehr version, might try it again now, thanks. Which options do you suggest (I'm not that much of an expert )
Edit: Though i wish someone had a solution for me not being able to restore via CWM!

oh you dont want suggestions from me - I have that device for a couple of days only and dont even know how to properly make a backup
but I chose the following:
EXT 4
Pauls Kernel
Left out all the LG Stuff as I find it kinda useless and laggy
good luck!

Did everything you asked, installed new version of Romkitchen with the stuff you suggested... Still doesnt download appss. Still stuck at "Starting download...". Help, anyone?

Nevermind guys, I fixed it. Turned out the problem WAS with date & time. My provider made the date 12/05/'11 instead of 12/04/'11. It was why I couldnt download from the market. Thank you all for helping out anyway

Stock RUU (with root) anywhere?

Sorry guys, I've been piecing together different posts/threads to try & find my answer without much success, but I haven't had too much luck
We bought somebody at our office a rooted Droid 4, using Safestrap 3.11 recovery, which appears to be running CM10.1 in it's slot 1. For some reason, unclear to me exactly, she wants to remove the root, if possible & just run the phone the way it comes. My initial thought was to just run a rooted stock RUU on the phone & give it back, but I've had difficulties finding one for this phone so I decided I might as well just do as she'd initially asked.
From reading other posts, it appears as if I'm supposed to disable Safestrap from the recovery, allow the phone to boot into the stock rom, then remove the safestrap app. However, I'm at a loss for finding the option that would allow me to disable safestrack out of the recovery, as everything I've seen/read doesn't seem to be an option anywhere that I can find.
There's an option for Stock ROM, but after attempting to switch it to that rom, the phone just reboots over & over. After I've selected the stock, it appears as it it's wanting me to Install the rom from somewhere, & the previous owner does have a stock maserati ROM listed in his downloads, but I'd like to confirm that selecting this option is what I'm supposed to do before I run with it, as previously mentioned, it's not my phone to get to enjoy fixing if I mess something up.
I'm not a complete NOOB, as I'd rooted all of the HTC EVO branded phones I'd owned, but I'm typically a little braver at trying first & fixing later, when it's my phones than when it's somebody elses.
Thanks for any & all advice.

[Q] flashing a custom ROM

hello and thank you in advance, i have been searching for a while now but i am a beginner and i have no idea how this works, i understand the basics and i looked around in the forum but i didnt find what i was looking for, here is my situation:
i bought an HTC ONe M7, the sprint variant, it was first on stock, sense 5 with android 4.3
i unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, flashed the BAD BOYZ ROM with sense 5.5 and android 4.3
i got the phone unlocked, i get service/texting/data and everything, but here is the problem, after i use it for a while, it crashes and keeps giving me messages like: " the process dialer has stopped" or "messaging has stopped"
so i restart the phone to find that the status bar is missing i have to wipe cache everytime to get it back and it's driving me insane, it would do this twice or three times every day so you can see how annoying that can be
i would like to try the viper rom ( you know, it looks cool ) can i just download the 4.4.x version to my phone and flash it from TWRP recovery? is it that simple? is there no risk damaging the phone? or do i have to update to stock 4.4.x then install the custom ROM? thank you in advance for your help

Flash this RUU to make sure you're on the latest firmware. Back everything up before INCLUDING INTERNAL STORAGE as it will wipe that as well.
Once you're done that, if your bootloader is **RELOCKED** unlock it again by following the first video on this thread by @wwjoshdew, (BTW, it's also not a bad idea to watch the most important videos.) Then, flash this recovery using fastboot commands. Then, install the ROM and you should be good to go.
Keep in mind though that most of this is based off of what I've read. I haven't actually done any of this before besides reflashing the recovery to update it and installing a ROM because I bought my HTC One used already having a custom ROM on it.

Help needed with first root of 510 (Vodaphone)

Hi all,
I am I a position where I can get unlimited tethering, of which I am grateful for. I purchased the phone from Vodaphone and then moved to another provider. Because its a third party phone, tethering is not detected.
So, I accidentally updated the software version of the 510 to 1.51.161.12 and then to 1.51.161.14 and my tethering application took a MASSIVE hit.
Tethered to an Xbox one, I now get huge packet loss, very low MTU, huge latency and slow speeds, which was not present before the update. I have contacted the HTC devs to let them know about the issue. I have already troubleshooted all my devices, factory reset, wiped the cache etc...
I wish to roll back the version. I realise in order to do this I will need to root my phone and flash a ROM. The only Kernel I could find was on the htcdev website and was version 1.51.161.10 from vodaphone. Is this a stock ROM?
Can anyone assist me in safely flashing my phone, I have never done this before and I would like to keep my unlimited tethering and phone in working condition. I did Google it but I couldn't find any decent results.
What is a safe guide to follow? I am completely inexperienced at this and would really appreciate the help.
Is dip_spits guide appropriate for a a UK carrier, does it matter? I almost used this guide
https://support.digitalendpoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/204812787-How-to-root-the-HTC-Desire-510 -until I realised that I need philz recovery for 64bit. Will using the dip_spit guide lock my carrier again?
What ROM can I use after rooting. Why is it so hard to find information on HTC 510 rooting and ROMs
I am looking for a safe way of doing this and have posted multiple times on XDA, but nobody can help me. The reason I am doing this is to restore functionality to my tethering, which has broken for no apparent reason.
Thanks

Okey.....a lot of questions.
Firstly, if you are 64 bit there is no need to use philiz touch recovery. There is TWRP recovery for our device. You can get it here:http://twrp.me Don't search HTCDev for 64bit ROM's. The only thing there are kernel source files. The carrier lock is not in any way connected with the operating system (at least thats what I think). And it's highly doubtful that the lock will reapear. The reason that you can't find a lot of guieds about our device it's mainly because the majority of devs here on XDA are from the USA. In the USA they sell the 32 bit version of the phone and the software is very different from the 64 bit.
Now lets talk about ROM's.
If you want pure stock rom you can search for it here mega:///#F!3Zo10Zya!-NbM_2RWWecFlc5mH9bLbA
If you want a custom rom you can get this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/htc-desire-510-64-bit-eu--international-version/cyanogenmod-12-1-msm8916-64bit-t3281744
And if you'd like a debloated version of the stock you can get this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/htc-desire-510-64-bit-eu--international-version/android-4-4-3-stock-os-debloated-64bit-t3361689

Ok so here is what happened when I rooted.
I unlocked the boot loader and made a recovery using philz touch. The PROBLEM is that I didn't have an SD card installed so what happened is philz touch partioned part of my phones memory. So I go to root and it is successful.
Now I got to recovery to install back the system because I was not happy with the way some of the apps were running and I want to install the stock vodpahone RUU on zubaggys page. I go ahead and recover but now it has taken more memory. I am now running my old ROM and kernel with less than 1 gig of free memory!!
All I want to do now is reinstall the stock vodaphone
Another question. When I was rooted, I downloaded barnacle tether and messed with the transmit power in the settings. I disabled and uninstalled. I also downloaded port forwarder ultimate and messed with the setting but uninstalled.
Will this affect my ROM installation, will it be fresh.
Thanks.

If philiz touch partitioned the phone then it's a miracle that it's still working. At this point I will suggest you flash TWRP because it has a more clean interface and there is no way you'd mess up something. Afterwards use it to format every single partition you can find with it. Beware that with this you will delete all data including the OS. I am not 100% percent that this will work because I haven't seen a situation like yours.

Jeez, I guess i have got myself in a bit of a sticky situation. I followed dips rooting procedure and it explicitly stated not to use twrp and use Philz touch instead for 64 bit phones. It also didn't state to use an Sd card.
We are talking in two threads here, so I suggest, to help other users with a stock revert, that we continue in Zubaggys thread. You are being a great help and I really appreciate you giving me your time.
