need help! sorry in advance

so im new to the android world please be gentle. i just got my nexus one today trying to get it rooted so that i can get the modacos desire rom up and running. so far using these instructions
http://theunlockr.com/2010/01/08/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-nexus-one/
ive gotten the phone to reboot with a padlock at the bottom, it will let me run torch so i assumed it was rooted. i put both nandroid folder and the sense ui rom zip files but when i try to put the phone into recovery mode it gives me the android dude and an exlamation mark. sorry if this is a common problem or i missed some simple instructions. thanks for any help.

Sounds like you did step I on that page, but might have missed step II completely and didn't flash the custom recovery rom.
Try here instead for a full tutorial on the exact steps needed to get to the Desire rom:

But you can skip the unlocking of the bootloader, as it seems you got that done.

amazing! thank you

hey ive tried a couple different methods but cant seem to get rid of this com.google.process.gapps message after i enter my google info. ive removed everything from my memory card. wiped a hundred times, flashed several diffent roms. it popped up first on the newest cyogen rom after installing a couple of programs, not sure which one did it. is there a way to manually clear the google info on the phone because it seems to be stored in there. thanks

So I'm assuming you already got recovery... Did you wipe data / cache / dalvik before flashing the ROM? Did you also flash Gapps? Give that a try. That should help.

yeah i wipe all the devlik/ cache along with regular wipe each time before a install. what is gapps?

GoogleApps.

cool that did it, back to cyogen, wish the desire rom was as fast as the cyogen. thanks for the help man!
if theres a desire status bar i want to install can i just flash the zip or do i have to back everything up do a wipe and install everything all over again?

Yes, you can flash themes over the ROM without wiping, as long as the theme is compatible with the ROM.

Can't install a custom rom on Vivid

Hello everyone,
I've tried to look for anyone has experienced the same problem and found a solution and didn't find any post close to my case, but I am sure you guys knows what's wrong with it.
I have just rooted, unlocked, S Off and Hboot my Vivid, I have followed all the steps to do all of that but it's seems like there's something is wrong. I have tried to flash many different roms but I couldn't. Every time when I flash a rom and it says installing zip completed and reboot the phone it shows the rom's intro animation after showing HTC logo and then it restarts.
It happened with like 7 or 8 different roms, I even tried three different recoveries (TWRP 2.2, ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.7, and 5.0.2.0), and it's always the same problem!
I would really appreciate if somebody can tell me how to solve this problem.
Thanks

I've used ClockWorkMod v5.5.0.4 (it's non-touch) and I have had no issues with it. If you'd like to try it, here is a mirror:
Filename: CWM-beta2.img (inside the below zip)
http://www.4shared.com/zip/tAZgjz25/CWM-beta2.html
Also - are you doing all the appropriate wipes before you flash the custom rom? (There are 4 wipes: Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik in advanced, and wipe /system in Mounts&Storage).

Thanks

thanks LaZiODROID , actually my problem is solved by Maqical as he figured out that I have to update my system to ICS first through the OTA or the RUU so I would be able to install a custom ICS roms. I was on GB stock Rom.
Thanks to Maqical and to you.

how to propperly flash anything after already S-off

im just curious and also i want to be able to get an answer to this question. so that noobs like me that have a rooted and s-off device dont get things mixed up.
is truly necesary to do a full wipe ( data, delvik cache, etc.) to flash anything from a simple tweek to something more complex like a custom rom, or kernel?

Yes...it is truly necessary. The only exception being if it's an upgrade for a ROM you're already using. I.e. upgrading WhateverRom 1.4 to 1.5. Even then though a full or partial(cache and dalvik) wipe is usually recommended. You WILL have many problems if you flash a completely different ROM over another one without doing a full wipe.
Edit: proper procedure would be 1. Download the ROM you want 2. Place it onto your external sd card 3. Boot to recovery 4. Full wipe 5. Flash the .zip 6. Reboot 7. Enjoy 8. (optional) Report bugs to the developer in the thread dedicated to the ROM including as much information as you can about your setup, how the bug was achieved and so on

Thanks a lot for your answer, now, to further clarify my questions,
when you are just installing a simple mod, I.E a kernel, to a rom that already feel comfortable with, and you do an delvik and cache wipe? sometimes it really does not writes its properties over the previous kernel, let me explain.
i tried flashing holics kernell which is an non-overclock kernel with an very stable and battery friendly governor. over an more aggressive kernel like the overclocked Faux 123 v007. the results were that my device showed that the kernel installed was the holics but the cpu frequencies that were being run by the governor were more like the previous kernel and the phone was still overclocked although it wasnt supposed to anymore!
is this due to no doing a full data wipe? besides delvik and cache.
also if i was to do a full wipe. wouldnt i have to have some kind of apps back up system planned out. in order to make the phone looked just like it was before the kernel was flashed.?

I'm not that knowledgeable on kernels, but your best bet (afaik) would be to let your ROM boot up for the first time and then flash the new kernel. Titanium Backup is one of if not the best backup program (backs up apps as well as their data among other things). System data such as contacts, texts, etc. can be backed up and restored, but only to the same or very similar ROMs. You're gonna have problems if you restore data from say a touchwiz type interface to sense. Google backs up your contacts and apps anyways if you let it so they'll be restored and re-downloaded once you sign in with your google account.

With any rom or addons always read the devs instructions
Wiping data, cache and dalvik cache is a very safe bet, as for kernels the rom will flash it for you during the installation however if you are wanting to flash a custom kernel other than one in a rom. Just flash the rom and then the kernel.

That's something I forgot to mention. ALWAYS read the entirety of the original post(s) from the dev. Also read through as much as you can of the thread from there. Nobody appreciates being asked things that were already covered in the thread. Some don't include full instructions, but most will and what they're telling you is what you need to follow.

Here's what I do...
If flashing a whole Rom (even if its just an update) I wipe everything...data, cache and dalvic
If flashing a kernel/apps/tweaks then I just wipe cache and flavorc cache
Those methods have yet to fail me...also, you don't have to let the Rom boot up before flashing a kernel...you can flash a Rom then immediatly flash a kernel (assuming the kernel is compatible with the Rom)

First upgrade your device to Gingerbread using Odin, follow this guide
hubix's guide
Then root your device and install CWM (custom recovery) in order to flash custom roms, doing backups, flash mods ... here you'll find all
Usefull Thread with lots of info and FAQ
Finally choose the rom you want and follow the dev's instructions to flash the selected rom

The latest fw it's from Vietnam?? umm
There's no problem, but I suggest you to flash an European fw in order to avoid signal/coverage troubles because of each fw includes a modem from a different area. For me the Spanish KTM is the best

Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check the "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
You can find all the necessary details for flashing as well as all the firmwares in this link. If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace (just install these zip from the recovery mode),
How To Root and Unroot Samsung Galaxy Ace?
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
You can use the single firmware installation. No need to download files like boot, pda, etc separately. Also you can download the firmware near to your region. Hope I Helped

Before you do any of these things, make sure to backup you apps. Go to CWM and do "Wipe data/ factory reset" and "Wipe Cache partition". Also go to Mount and Storage> Format /system. Finally Advanced> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stat". Now reinstall the rom again. It might solve the issue. As for the stable custom rom, you can always go with CM 7 i.e. Android 2.3.7 based roms. CM 7 based roms are much stable than CM 9, CM 10 and CM 11 roms. As per xda rules, I cannot suggest you the best rom. But here is list of all roms for our Ace. You can flash this yourself to decide which is the best. Here is the link,

Once you have installed the stock rom, go to recovery mode and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur).

i did but still same problem

if i only restart the phone this doesnt happen, only when i shut it down i cant understand this and its so annoying

after flasing a stock rom via Odin, do wipe factory/reset and wipe cache in order to avoid the bootloop, but with CM10.x ROMS NEVER DO WIPES (data factory/reset) OR YOU'LL BREAK THE BOOT!!
To fix it do all the wipes and reflash the CM10.x rom following dev's thread

Flashing other roms than Andro X doesn't work

I just updated my bootloader and whenever i try to flash a rom, the booting process takes forever until i wipe my phone myself. But when i flash Andro X rom than it takes max. 3min to boot and then it works.
But i want another rom, how do i fix this?

Do you mean that when u flash lollipop based rom it gets bootloop? if yes then first flash stock lollipop firmware and then try flashing other rom. I mostly wipe my internal storage when going from Kitkat to lollipop it works for me.

Well Firstly Explain your problem clearly (I didnt quite understand it)
OK so here's my solution from what I understood..
1. Restore your stock rom Backup from recovery. Boot it once.
2. Now clean flash (Wipe System, Data , Cache, Dalvik cache) a lollipop based Rom (preferably try to clean flash cm 12.1 build)
3. Dont flash Gapps. First see if your phone boots up properly.
4. Configure data and reboot to recovery and flash Gapps.
If you dont have a Stock backup, Then download Stock Firmware images from gregor's thread and install via fastboot. Then follow from step2.
Hope this helps you.

My problem is that when i try to flash roms like CM12, Blisspop it doesn't stop booting, it was taking more than an hour so i shutdown my phone and when i flashed Andro X the booting took around 3mins.
So can anyone explain in easy steps how to fix this?

OK now I understand what your problem is. Give me your full specs (like which Model and and stuff). But if you follow what I said above it might fix your problem.

are you fully wiping cache and userdata (factory reset) because this is most common problem moving between Roms that causes bootloops and why I include factory reset in my easy installer.
you can only dirty flash when going up (upgrading) the same rom - changing roms or downgrading nearly always causes bootloop / hang.
