I'm really new to samsung phones and need help regarding flashing custom roms. I've looked around and found that almost no poular roms support this phone. I've heard about GSIs but have no idea how to go about with them. A helping hand would be well appreciated.
P.S Is there any place where I can find unnoficial rom ports for my phone?

Hiya
Have been rummaging the forums for a while and there doesnt seem to be a definitive or recent answer on this?
Interested in the Overcome rom for example, but would it work on my P1010?
Many thanks
+1 any comments anyone?
dont think there is one for us
i've kinda bricked my one so i need a custom rom in zip format to be able to install via recovery but i've had no luck either finding one.
There is none at the moment but check the development thread over the next week or so there may be a start on one then but as of right now there is not.... and be very careful flashing anything on the device otherwise it ain't much use... we may have honecomb soon though pm me and will tell ya when and if its ready
i am also interested as froyo is slowing this tab quite a lot... it could be much quicker with at least gingerbread, but honeycomb... that can be interesting..
So I got my phone last December and within a month, had it rooted - mainly to get rid of bloatware. I was using Cognition ROM at first, but then a guy at an ATT authorized retailer showed me a different rom that unlocked HSPA. The ROM that he gave me, which I later installed using ROM manager has the filename: KILLER23D+XXJPUDoc_V4.0_wipe. Has there been an update to this ROM? I love everything about it and am also wondering if there are any ROMs that are any better than this? I'm still pretty new at using the xda website and forums...
I like to tinker around, but am still afraid of bricking my phone. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys for all the hard work you all do.
p.s. I noticed my phone now thinks it is the Galaxy S GT-I9000... so would I download new ROMs for that phone or the Captivate?
Killer23d's out off date. it hasn't been updated since 11th December 2010. Their are many great 2.2 and 2.3 roms in the development section. Take a look around , you should be able to find one that is to your pleasing. Read the authors instructions and be sure you understand them before you flash anything
Be sure to read the Stickies they tell you about installing rom and other good stuff that you should know. And search around if you have any questions before you post, cause it might have been already answered.
And if you have a captivate you download captivate roms
good luck
I guess I really want to know which ROM is most like official 2.2 or 2.3? I definitely want to make sure I can still install unknown apps, and have the stock alarm clock on the phone because I use the alarm all the time and I don't want to have to download another one from the market. Do you have any preferences on ROMs that would do all this?
I also am a little confused on the ODIN stuff. Since I'm already rooted and using ROM Manager to flash ROMs, do I always need to flash ODIN before installing a new ROM? I read on here somewhere that the author metioned something about that, but how it was worded was a little confusing
I don't refer roms to people it is all personal choice. All roms can install off market apps
for roms in general* http:////forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
*2.3 roms need gb bootloaders
I realize this horse has been ridden before but.. If you can take pity on yet another noob the please read on.
I've been trying to learn how things work with rooting (did that using super one click.. the easy way), and flashing a rom (didn't do that). I've read alot of sites,and lots of threads on XDA and there is alot of information but alot of it is outdated or for old stock ROM's and so on.
Here is my problem I have a rogers samsung captivate i896 running stock 2.3.3. the wiki page for this model assumes you are running 2.2 froyo. I can't seem to find information on how to flash a ROM on a stock 2.3.3 i896 (this could be because I suck at searching or.. I am just stupid). Also ROM manager does not recognize my captivate.
If you could provide me some links where I can read and learn about flashing(for my phone, then hopefully others), kernels, bootloaders, lagfix,,modems and so on.. Man I would really appreciate it.
I drive truck for a living and I really don't have time to search for all the scattered info and stitch it together.
My goal is to learn everything I can about my phone and flashing ROM's and learning and understanding the terminology. If I can do this then I would pass the knowledge onto other people.
I realize alot of you vets and senior members have very little patience for people like myself who don't (or can't) put the time that you have put in to learn. So I can only promise that when I do learn I will pass on the knowledge and hopefully lean how to come up with some new stuff myself.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Here you go. I can't answer questions about it because I don't have your phone. It is called the fugu root method which is what you use to root gingerbread. Good luck.
you do not need root to flash a custom rom...recovery happens underneath the os where root isnt a factor, and any rom you flash will be rooted after the flash.
rom manager is garbage erase it from your memory.
read the 【Guide】How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock (inc. Gingerbread ROMs)
since you are already o ginger bread you can skip step 5,6, and 8.
Hey guys,
So I recently got the HTC One Remix (the Verizon version of the HTC One Mini 2) and I would like to root it and install a custom ROM for it (preferably Cyanogenmod). The problem is verizon makes it hard to do any of these things and sadly switching carriers isn't really an option any time soon so I am trying to make do.
HTC-Dev reportedly won't work with verizon phones and many of the solutions for the HTC One Mini 2 don't work for the Remix even though they are essentially the same phone. Cyanogenmod has the HTC One Mini 2 listed as a supported device but I am not sure if that will work with the Remix because a carrier is not specified.
I have yet to see anyone who has had any luck, so is there anyone out there at all who is running a custom ROM on a rooted HTC One Remix? If so, what did you use to obtain root (sunshine maybe?) and what custom ROM are you running?
I'm majorly new to this sort of thing so hopefully the solutions are relatively easy so I don't end up bricking my phone.
Any help at all would be much appreciated!

As far as I can see there aren't many hardware differencec between the two phones. The only problem is that at this point there is no other way of unlocking these phones then trough HTC dev. I don't think there is a lot of development going on with unlocking with other methods. How do you know HTC dev isn't supporting your device? Did you check if "All other supported models" in the list?

It a verizon exclusive and HTC Dev doesn't work on verizon phones. The carrier blocked it. There's also a disclaimer somewhere deep on the htc site.
Thanks though. I'm just frustrated because I like the phone but I also really want to root it. I've tried a couple of the easier methods like sunshine and towelroot and those don't work I'm only on 4.4.2 but with my low skill level in this area I'm not sure if there's much I can do. I know s-off and root aren't the same thing but that's supposed to make it easier to find a way to achieve root right?
Aha then i'm afraid there isn't much you can do. Only wait for s-off because but I don't think it is goanna happen. My previous device is a One X and they had a huge user/developer base but never achieved s-off. It seems HTC really did a good job at closing this down.

I need Stock recovery Please Send me the link :crying:
HTC One mini 2/remix stock recovery
Hi. I might be able help you here.
Here is a link to what I'm pretty sure is the stock recovery. Note this dumb forum won't let me post links, so reassemble this yourself..
h t t p s
w w w . androidfilehost . c o m
/?fid=95784891001615233
Can't remember the exact cmd line.. something like adb flash recovery <file>
Now for the rom, I'll have to see if the link I got it from is still valid when I get home. There's a guy 'jcase' I think on the IRC that uploaded his personal backup that worked for me.
To be clear, the rom is for the HTC One 'remix' - Verizon's branded HTC one mini 2. There is NO working cyanogenmod that I know of.
btw you will need the TWRP recovery to restore from the rom backup when you get it, so the stock recovery might only be useful if the flash still has the recovery image on it.
Certainly worth trying first.
Good luck,
-M
Xda Devs, please we HTC one remix users need a custom Rom and s-off for our device.... We would really appreciate it if you help us
I've already accepted the fact, that I bought a wrong phone and i won't be able to install custom roms like lineage os or cyanogenmod, etc. But I want to know why? Here on xda nobody even knows about desire 628, and I have to write in 626's forum.
Same reason there are no roms for the 626. Not a popular phone and no developer interest. Also most if not all 626's sold in the USA are locked down variants with rooting a mixed bag of results. My VZW 626 is rooted but that is the extent of any mods that can be done with it, No roms for it.
