[Q] Want to go from CM7 to ICS, need some help

The last time I flashed a custom rom to my phone was CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-N1.
I'd really like to get ICS on it, but the process seems just so much more confusing this time around. If anyone give me a breakdown of what I'd need to do, or even if they could just point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.

i never messed with that as they are always a lil buggy i like sense better ^_^ try asking people in that thread im sure they be happy to help you bro
sorry i couldn't help

There are at least 3 ICS ROMs with 2 are in the working progress and the other we don't know what is the status of it. Spend some time to read first to gain some knowledge and procedures. They are in the Development section of Nexus One. And, remember, once you have Ice Cream Sandwich you don't want to have Gingerbread

u can flash this miui ics as like anyother roms before
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479348
but for other ics roms u need to partition /system. for that first u need to know abt blackrose.

The process is actually easier than the process you went through to root your phone and install CM7.
First, download the ICS firmware zip file to your phone's sdcard.
Next, make your backup using TitaniumBackup.
For most ICS firmware, you'll need to repartition your hboot. Google for blackrose-manual_120216.zip, download to your computer, unzip and look for the hboot_brcust-220-10-206.nb0 file. This one is pre-configured with the right partition sizes. Follow the instructions in the README file, which are basically:
Update your recovery firmware, by downloading to your computer and then using fastboot from your computer. I used the Amon-RA recovery for CM and stayed with it for ICS.
On the phone, enable USB Debugging in the CM Developer settings menu.
Boot the phone into the bootloader and go to FastBoot mode. It'll tell you what HBOOT you currently have. Read the instructions in the blackrose README to see which (if any) of the goXX.lol files you need. Then, on the computer:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery goXX.lol
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
Next, flash the new hboot:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcust-220-10-206.nb0
The blackrose-manual zip contains fastboot binaries for Linux, Mac and Windows. If you need a fastboot for FreeBSD, send me a PM.
Then boot into recovery, do a Nandroid backup, then a full wipe, then install the ICS firmware zip you put on the sdcard earlier.
That should be all. Once the new system is booted, you'll use Titanium again to restore your apps.
For what it's worth, the BCM firmware is based on CM with all the CM additions you're used to, so things will be pretty familiar. It's running well for me.

Restore apps from GB backup might bring FC. It is better to download them from the Google Play

While, in theory, you are correct, I restored my GB apps using TB because it is very fast to do so. In practice, they all appear to be working just fine. I believe I have run every one of them to make sure.
But I agree that a better general procedure would be to restore the apps themselves from the Play Store then restore your former app data using TB.

This is great! I found blackrose_manual_120216.zip, but the only .nb0 file in it was hboot_blackrose.nb0. Will this work, or do I need to keep looking?

The instructions are in the Blackrose thread in the Development section, you don't need to use the manual if you're using Windows.

I would read the blackrose thread so you understand what you are doing and why. Easier to get out of trouble and harder to get into it. You probably did same for CM7. The blackrose hboot is not easy to work with without knowing what you are doing. The backrose thread has pre requisites in OP, like install of drivers if you don't have them.
You guys sure the fastboot command for the exploit has the word "recovery" in it or should be:
fastboot boot go.lol
where go.lol is exact name of exploit from the actual blackrose binary folder depending what version of blackrose you are fastbooting. could be "fastboot boot go2.lol" etc
just a suggestion--

So I was able to use blackrose to repartition my system cache, but now I've got a problem. In the bootloader, when I select "Recovery" the phone hangs on the Nexus "X" logo, and I'm unable to get my phone to reboot into anything but the bootloader.

you probably lost recovery and need to re fastboot it
i once had to fastboot erase system before the recovery would flash
all these issues are in the thread

Would this be the correct thing to do? http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Nexus_One/Recovery_Images

good info but if you have sdk and know fastboot do this
Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to a location where fastboot can find it. Usually tools folder.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc
type fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
type fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img or whatever exact name your recovery is

I was able to get into recovery, but now when I select "Flash zip from sdcard", I get an error saying that there was No Signature and that the Verification Failed.

You need to disable the signature verification in the recovery and then flash the ROM

Thanks so much for everyone's help! I've got ICS up and running now thanks to you.
Since this forum account is too new to post in the BCM thread, I guess I'll try asking a question here instead.
So far there's two problems I've encountered that would be dealbreakers for BCM. I saw on the BCM thread that voice search is currently broken, but it seems like it's kind of unexpected and will likely be fixed. The other issue I have, that I can't find anyone else complaining about, is that I don't seem to have the Car Home app anymore. Has anybody else run into this issue, or know a fix? I use my phone in my car pretty much every day in my car dock, and make extensive use of both the car home app and the voice search feature for getting navigation directions.
If there's a better place to post these questions, feel free to let me know!
Thanks

audio has been ab issue for me and others on ics and sense roms lately, don't know why. i am back on CM7 Kangs atm bc of it. hope it is found and fixed. the current remedies don't work for me
glad you are up and running, all these roms have issues of some type for a few at least. goes with the territory--
someone should be able to get you a car home apk you can install or push thru adb--i always delete mine as i don't use--sorry. might be able to find it thru search/google
posting here is perfectly fine--it a couple general threads for a "meaningful" post and you will be to ten real quick
enjoy rom

Sorry, I wasn't watching this thread over the weekend and I see you have already moved past this. But to answer the question...
I thought the pre-partitioned blackrose-220-10-206 was in that zip, but I see now that I found it on the Evervolv ROM thread in the Nexus One development forum. Sorry for not remembering to mention that.

BCM Version RC3.3Ux has very broken voice input. Many folk (including me) have commented that no VoIP apps work with it. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. BCM3.2U2 works fine, so I have reverted to that version for now.
You can install the CarHome app from the Play Store; it doesn't seem to be included in the BCM zip file.

[Q] How to update rooted device?

Hi
I rooted my phone after the previous large update and now the one is out to finally fix the google keyboard, unfortunately I haven't a clue in how about going around updating it.
If anyone could link me somewhere explaining or tell me it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Do you have the international HTC One? Are you on 2.24.401.1? you will have to flash the stock recovery then install the missing apps that were lost during the wipe after unlocking the bootloader (such as the calculator, voice recorder etc) and then do the OTA update, I can give you a step by step guide if you answer the above questions

Okay lets start!
1) Download this file http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/HTCOne/root/HTCOneRoot.zip (you should already have this for unlocking the bootloader but just to make sure!)
2) Download the recovery https://cloudpt.pt/link/1a23ccce-547e-4b3c-a38c-4a798c462aff/Flash_recovery_2.24.401.1.rar
3) Download these files https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzXWB5B2uUs7R2hjQnN3NFFNNVk/edit
4) Extract the zip file you downloaded in step 3 (if it needs extraction) and copy all the apk's to your phone and install all of them.
5) Extract the zip file you downloaded in step 1 and you will get a folder that contains HTCDriver_4.1.0.001.exe (it should already be installed because your rooted your htc one but if its not --> install it).
6) Extract the file you downloaded in step 2, you will get a folder named fastboot, enter this folder and copy recovery.img to the previously extracted folder in step 5.
7) Turn your phone off and boot into the bootloader (power button + volume down) then select fastboot and connect your phone to your computer.
8) Open the previously extracted folder (in step 5) that contains the recovery.img and press and hold shift and while holding shift, press right click on your mouse and select "open command window here".
9) Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotes and now you should have the stock recovery.
10) Bootup your phone install the OTA update and it should install successfully and after it finishes you can flash TWRP or CWM using the same method above.
***This is assuming you have the stock odexed ROM, if you have installed a custom ROM, download the stock ROM and install it using your current recovery before proceeding with the above instructions.
And sorry because its a really long post

Hi, I've been reading, isn't it possible there is a stock ROM to just flash through TWRP or CWM?

Well there is but the rom is just a small part of an update, there is the radio, hboot, recovery etc.. if you just flash the rom your not updating the other stuff but if you do the ota you will update all of these, but since this is a minor update, I dont think these got updated so you can flash the rom for now and when the 4.3 update rolls out you can do the above method to get everything updated!

you need the stock firmware package for your phone and when you extract it there will be a image file named recovery you need to flash it then take the OTA then reflash your custom recovery

here to find your match firmware and download it http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
unzip it, and you can find a file named "recovery.img", and copy it to your sdk folder. if you don't have this tool. you can from this website and install it: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html . copy the "recovery.img" to "D:\adt\sdk\platform-tools" folder.
after that,connect your phone, and reboot to fastboot, open ":\adt\sdk\platform-tools" in your pc, hold "shift" and click right key of mouse, then shoose "open command window here". then input "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", and you can get your recovery back to your stock recovery.

Thank you very much. Did as you describe (just before reading it, i found out you can't flash an img file through twrp, so googled and found had to do it from PC via the fastboot command ... did that, but when i now try to reboot into recovery i get the green droid and a red exclamation mark ... Haven't found out how to solve that. Right after initiating the command, the first output is "variable not supported!", but the phone did flash. I did try a second time, but get the same result. So i now can't get into a recovery and can't flash Android 4.2.2. Any suggestions ?

if you are not 100% sure you want 4.4.2 i would not flash it because you can not flash back to 4.4.

[Q] please help possible full brick

Hopefully someone is able to help...
I had my tmo moto x unlocked with twrp and root and I tried a factory reset through the twrp recovery and it erased all the software. It booted to the setup screen where I proceeded to log in with Google but it didn't work I think and when it got the home screen it just showed a loading circle and that's it and stupid me I didn't make a backup before
I've tried using the tool in the android development thread to flash back to stock but now my phone doesn't even boot at all I can get to the bootloadwr and I can successfully flash files through the Motorola tool by removing the proper line in the XML file but my phone still don't boot
It just flashes the little android laying down and says error every 5 seconds I don't know what to do anymore I've searched all over and no matter what I can't get the phone to boot
Thanks for the help if any

1. With an unlocked bootloader, you're not fully bricked if you can get to the bootloader.
2. Download the SBF file for your variant here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0. If you're already on the 4.4.2 bootloader, download only the 4.4.2 SBF file.
3. Learn how to use fastboot/mfastboot and adb. Follow the steps in the "return to stock" section here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/ref-how-to-root-4-4-links-guides-t2603358.
4. Extract the SBF file, boot into the bootloader, type what's in the "return to stock" section verbatim. Skip the fastboot oem lock step though and don't copy/paste.
5. Stop using toolboxes and scripts until you understand how fastboot and adb work. They'll save your ass each and every time.

once you've upgraded to 4.4.2, you can't go back to 4.2.2.
as mentioned, download the 4.4.2 fastboot files and flash each partition.
make sure to wipe data and cache once all partitions are flashed.
here are some more notes regarding flashing:

Do you have a custom recovery already installed? Which one? If you don't, remember that in order to flash a new ROM, you need to install a custom recovery.

Sure, buddy.
You need to download a custom recovery, this is the option in Android that lets you erase all content in the device and do other things. With a custom recovery you can do even more things, like install .zip archives or ROMs, erase partitions, dalvik cache, etc, etc, a lot of things.
I personally use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552622
Since you are already rooted, I think that you are familiar with fastboot. In order to flash a custom recovery, you need to do this:
1. Download the custom recovery
2. If it's in a .zip, extract the archive so you have one *.img archive.
3. Then, copy that file to the folder where you have the fastboot.exe archive.
4. Open Windows command console and change the directory to the one where you have the files.
5. Turn off your device, then press volume down key and power key. Hold until you see a black screen with white letters. Connect via USB to your computer.
6. Run the following command in the command console of Windows:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where "recovery.img" is the name of your custom recovery archive, for example, "philz_touch_6.22.7.img"
7. Wait about 6 seconds and in the console you should see something like "done", I don't remember exactly what does it says.
8. You are good to go. Turn off your device. Then press the volume up key and power button. Hold until you see the custom recovery interface.
After this point, you can flash the custom ROM of your preference.

In the Philz link above, it goes to our thread that links to the main one, from there, download the unified moto-msm8960 one labeled for xt925/xt926. Last time I checked it was more up to date than the native mb886 one (not surprising since our CM repo is gone).
