Root but left stock = OTA update

Rooted but change any system files or install other rom = NO OTA update

[Note: You can backup rom first in CWM and go back to stock at any time you want.]

How to root = look at my signature for link

I ota updated this weekend from Eaglesblood 2.4, which is cm 2.37. I just wanted the new baseband. Now, it did wipe my phone completely stock, even erased my nv flashed cwm.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yes, but installing a new ROM will deactivate OTA's. Either way, rooting and installing a ROM is always newer than OTA's either way.

Thanks to ACS and others for bringing out 4.0 of the ACS ROM. It was a perfect time for me to upgrade because my ACS 1.2 ROM got corrupted for the 4th time (why does that happen? Lack of journaling?) and i figured if I needed to wipe everything anyway, I'd just upgrade. THere are no instructions at all on the main ACS development thread so I read 50 pages of posts and guessed. I did the following:

1. Rebooted into clockwork 3.1 (purple) and selected the ZIP for the stock EC05 Rom with recovery built in.

2. Rebooted and verified it booted correctly (yay)

3. 3-finger reboot into recovery

4. flashed the ICS 3.5 ROM (newest version is 4.0 that just cane out a few minutes ago...)

5. Flashed EC05 to EI22 modem update

6. Flashed Nubernel kernel

Rebooted. Results: Just hangs at the kernel screen. Phone is essentially soft bricked. I'm attenpting to Odin back to EC05 again. I've now spent over 3 hours on this... can someone please update the thread with clearer instructions? Examples:

1. Does this ACS install include a kernel? (did I screw it up by flashing my own?)

2. Does it convert to EXT or was I to know to do that seperately?

3. Will future ACS updates require wiping user data? (it doesnt say)

Thanks!

Standby ill give you a play by play that should get you up and running on 4.0

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

Ok, You did good up until step 6. There is no need to flash a kernel as this rom includes a kernel. Just wipe dalvik/cache/data 3x install from zip. From this point you should be good to boot. Let me know if it works
[Epic 4G General] ralf_97:
I was on sfr 1.2 too and wat I did first was to flash the ec05toei22.zip first then flash legendary ROM and at the end flash the journalon.zip jst to be safe. Legendary ROM is great, not missing sfr 1.2 at all :0
[Epic 4G General] brandobean:
Thanks everyone. What worked for me was:

1. Odin back to ec05

2. Root with one-click root (+ clockwork recovery purple)

3. Reboot into recovery and flash the ACS 4.0 ROM

4. Reboot.

That's it. Now doing the annoying task of resetting everything back up. Questions:

1. I'm still on ec05 modem. Should I now flash the ec05 to ei22 zip? What will that give me?

2. When this ROm updates (which is happening frequently) do I have to wipe user data? Please say no!

Some things I've noticed so far... I really miss the circular battery icon from 1.2 and the 3g/1x icons too. Anyway to get those back?

Thanks everyone!
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Not an expert but the modem is optional really whatever your phone works best with I'm on ei22 modem don't really see a difference and there is a mod for the ciruclar 1% mod in the themes (sorry no link) and usually acs uses full roms so yes you'll have to wipe unless the post directs otherwise however for ERA there is both an update and a full rom.

[Epic 4G General] liquiddetox:
While adding data back can be annoying, I've come very use to it myself lol.

As for the modem, use what works best for you.
[Epic 4G General] brandobean:
I decided to go ahead and upgrade to the EI22 modem and also turn journaling ON. I'm hoping that I'll stop some of these data corruption issues I have been having (resulting in force close loops on boot... 1.2 would fall into that loop about once every 3 weeks).

So far so good. This ROM is just a shade laggier than 1.2 was but I haven't spontaneously shut down once yet (something that happened a few times a week on 1.2 no matter what kernel I used)
[Epic 4G General] jtw78:
I'll echo what others have said. Here was my process from SFR 1.2

1. Wipe 3x

2. Flash the ROM

3. Flash the EC05toEI22 modem file

Reboot

I had 3.5 bork on me twice with the google.systems.framework.gapps force close issue. I'm about to retry it with 4.0 and journaling enabled.

Keep trying new stuff. Half the fun of all this is that you get to be a part of developing the OS for you phone.

Oh, and back your stuff up when you have it working the way you want it to. I was able to jump back to my SFR 1.2 backup when ICS stopped working. Happy times.
[Epic 4G General] brandobean:
yes backing up is the key...

I backed up before I do each significant change. I think that is key just in case it all goes wonky. I'm currently running the 4.0 build with the EI22 modem and it seems pretty stable. Well, it was until I upgraded to Dolphin 7.x from 6.x. I got 4 hangs in 30min in low memory conditions. It causes GO launcher to freak out and get stuck. Required a battery pull each time. Now with a revert back to dolphin 6.x I've been hang-free for about an hour.

My wishlist:

1. Add reboot into the shutdown menu

2. Make the battery logo pretty like srf 1.2 (I looked in themes and couldn't find it)

3. Fix handcent notifications appearing as black unreadable text

4. Various text box draw issues (example in facebook widget). Just looks sloppy.

I've got stable wifi (unlike some). Will try GPS tomorrow.
[Epic 4G General] slightly.stoopid:
I would like to add to your wishlist :) remove the low battery alert for the camera... u can't take pics if your battery is low
[Epic 4G General] Ruhai Hu:
Yeah I am similar to some of the others...

I was on frozen with ec05 so:

1. wiped everything x3

2. flashed modem

3. flashed acs 4

4. installed everything i needed. :D

5... just AWESOME! >< works great and fast.

Need to figure out if it works in the docks... now to go to bed and hope my alarm works in the morning into my speakers through my dock ><

Actually, atm i'm working to let cm7 themes work on openOptimus.

I got sick and tired of old kernel and baseband so i flashed oO.

I let you know, im currently working on ICS theme for oO.

But dont flash themechooser, it will crash!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] TXI Kaze:
Hey man. Every one I've downloaded the past couple of days gives me the same sideload error lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
If it helps, I don't think we will have quite as many of those issues anymore.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TXI Kaze:
Gotcha :) good stuff. What causes the error?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
40% not using proper neutral text editors on all the install scripts, 20% the mistake of trying to make the built universal, and another 20% bad file combinations.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dino325:
So when i install the base, I boot to the unlock screen and cannot get the screen to unlock due to screen inaccuracy. When I try to flash the port I receive an error and the installation aborts.

So, now that ICS has been released to AOSP, do you think these small bugs will be worked out?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Please read post 1, paragraph 1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] htowngator:
I guess I'm confused as well... AOSP was released and that is not the entire source?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The nexus source was released. In Git terms, it is just one branch.

And apparently I am going to have disappearing ink...(meaning you all get to miss my witty responses to the random comments)

[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Not sure if I know what I am doing, but when the poop hits the propeller, I have never had to build source that wasn't already at least somewhat modified for my device.

I got all the proprietary stuff, the countless extra common additions, and now it seems I have to go find all the hardware build parts missing because all we got was a nexus layout and dashed hopes of much more.

It may or may not be realistic to just merge in the missing parts, but at least it is a good start. Everything is configured to work, it just wants some stuff I am still downloading.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chuckbeasley:
I downloaded and built ICS today. However, it is based on a 3.0 kernel and HTC hasn't released the source for that yet. It would make things go a lot faster if they release it soon.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c2thej:
Is your build functional
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I am starting a fund to get a Nexus S and port directly from the device. After looking over this source, that seems to be more realistic than attempting to rewrite the entire thing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrkite38:
Have you ever built android from source? Do you know what we have? Do you know what you're asking?

Development. I think if this guy had built something that ran he'd mention it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I will post every detail I can, but I will admit a lot of it is currently mixed in with DHD and Dinc, as we have been working as one team instead of separate devices. I will make a point to link up what has been going on soon. That was overlooked on my part.

The builds in the first post are functional, but the version being built from source should not and will not be a half-@$$ rip -off of another device. That is costing time...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
While I do not always agree with the Mods on this forum, I have been in contact with the one keeping a watch over this forum and he has a good understanding of what is and isnt relevant. He responded to make a valid point because a lot of the posts that have been removed are the direct result of not reading the first post. There have been MANY posts throughout the entire site pushing for releases only days after the initial release of a partial source. I think it is best you keep in mind, that nothing he said is directly rude unless you choose to read it that way.

To read up on a lot of the details of what is going on, a lot of the work is better documented http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1343361

I really wish this forum was age restricted to 18+ or at least ban anyone without a rudimentary understanding of the English language.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Lol, at the time, it was the most stable of the experimental builds. If you had tested the current build, you would know it is soon to be replaced. Take it you didn't try that before bashing something your only contribution to was to download.

That would cost half the developers, though...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RLKirk:

You want some too?

Says the guy whose name is ilogik. FYI, There was nothing about the post that revealed I had a lack of understanding of the English language, however, if you were to point out spelling and maybe grammatical errors, then you comment might have given you a leg to stand on. Look guy, people can speak and type as they please, who the heck are you to come and say some dumb crap like that? Obviously you've never heard of the word slang, and even moreso, you've probably never heard of the term shortcut either. Get a life instead of trying to make yourself look all high and mighty. You and that other dude can go to the same place I told him to go for all I care. Now, I bid you a good day sir!!:o

How's that for proper English you soggy nut sack??? Don't ever try to make a fool out of someone with judgmental b.s. it never works out in the end jerk.

BTW, I did spell check, 0 errors except your name of course! LMAO (that stand for laugh my ass off, in case you thought I was spelling wrong!)

I believe he is currently clean up some code and merging new qualcom changes to his source :)

o really???

does that mean he's close to getting data working or still a far ways away???'

thanx for the update btw!

~DiazKyubi~
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Your also a jerk (I went for idiot, but you may be educated, just oblivious to what the development process is like). Stable means exactly as advertised. It means it is not experimental, it is tested. It doesn't mean it has more features than the current build. Users like you are why RootzWiki gets updated and I just reply here when necessary.

Edit: I am cleaning up code, as mentioned, to get the new parts working so camera will have a chance, I have started looking at data, but it is still a little ways off before it even has a chance of being tested.

Nobody holds a gun to anyone's head and makes them test these builds. That is why I recommend things like bootmanager. If there were no risk in testing, and I was confident it fully worked, I don't see why the time to explain how to use that would have been taken.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powered By LE5:
to the average joe that means working rom to me. it should be explained like coffee cups have caution hot! labels on them. i don't know anything about developing or what not i just know how to put the rom on the phone thats it.

Please see revised post. You are not obligated to test, so I suggest you come back when the forum title reads "Fully Working" to avoid more complaints about personal misunderstanding.

The next "current experimental" is going to test some new developments in the CM world where they acknowledge msm7x30 as a part of ics.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bigmew22:
What is the difference between the experimental build and the alpha?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Experimental is straight from the compile, the other is actually tested and verified. When a new experimental is tested to have more working than the last "milestone" build, the milestone build is replaced.

Soon it will be replaced again, once some USB changes are made and tested now that qcom libs work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SP1986:
Just a (possibly not so) quick question - I know some of the major ROMS (CM, MIUI, now ICS) have had issues with the data - is there a specific reason why data on the Thunderbolt is so hard to crack, or is it just something that gets developed last?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] romified:
Its the LTE. The TB was the first lte device and is unique with its closed source RIL. Look how long it took CM to get a working radio...a RIL had to be built just for the tbolts LTE. If it were a regular cdma only device the situation would be much different. That is one reason why the dinc2 is further along, the rest of the dinc2 is very much like the tbolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SP1986:
Ah, LTE - a blessing and a curse! Thanks for the info, that had been bugging my brain for quite some time.
