Hahah yes. I tried searching and I couldn't find anything... because I was searching only within the Inspire 4G forums which was just stupid. Anyway as a reference:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1069298

I was mainly curious because certain posters with below 10 posts ask questions in the development threads that should more or less something that belongs in the Q&A thread yet they were able to post there even with limit. Anyways thanks. I will try to see if I should post the script in the apps or general section. And yes this script might not work with every ROM since I have only tested it on Revolution so far. Thank you!

From the thread "last update", the new rule was put into effect somewhere in November 2011 right? There are posts such as these:

and many other much more recent ones (some are just a couple days ago) that are in the developer's forum. I guess either they have a moderator that allowed them or something's kind of off.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramis:
hey guys i've ordered a sgs2 and i should be getting it in a few days.

i have read quite a few posts on this forum.

and it is a little different than how i am used to flashing roms and kernel.

with my old phone (lg p500) i just had to flash the kernel and rom using the recovery.

after reading through a few things i realised that the kernel needs to contain the recovery.

from my old phone i know that flashing a recovery is risky.

while flashing roms and kernels using the recovery is not risky (well it was for my last phone)

so my questions are these.

Does flashing a kernel, mean that i'm risking bricking my phone (cus i'm flashing the recovery?)

Also i noticed that most roms are in the tar format. which need to be installed using odin and not through recovery. is this also risky?

lastly just so i can get my head around a few things.

can someone write me a small step by step guide (doesnt have to be long, each step could be described in 3 words eg root, downgrade, flash this. etc) and also list all the parts that could brick my phone.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
I really don't see where the risk could be, i've been doing this for a while and the only time i messed up is when the usb cable came out during a flash. While the phone looked bricked to the naked eye with the phone/pc logo i could still get into download mode with a usb jig and flash it again. Its rare to brick a samsung phone, extremely rare.

If you simply follow the instructions you have nothing to worry about, lack of reading comprehensions is your biggest enemy when flashing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck:
-by flashing a ROM , you usually get the kernel+recovery partition with it ( most of the times stock one )

-after flashing a ROM , you can flash some other kernel which is supported by the ROM

-if you read instructions you can flash anything with no risk at all , just pay attention

-only the stock ROMs from intratech's thread are in the .tar (.md5) format and need to be flashed via Odin

-the big majority of other ( mostly custom ) ROMs are in .zip format and are flashed through ClockWorkMod recovery ( CWM ) from the phone itself

-the few things that can brick your phone are : unplugging it while flashing in Odin , or turning it off in any other way while flashing

-even if it bricks ( chances are small ) you can just get a jig from e-bay ( few buxx ) to get it into download mode

then flash stock rom via odin to get it to a clean slate

-you can also make the jig yourself ( youtube ) pretty easily

flashing

1. flash stock rom ( newer version ) from intratechs thread via Odin

2. flash CF-Root

3. Reboot to CWM recovery

4. Wipe data/cache

5. Select "install zip from sdcard" and select your 'customRomName'.zip

voila!

the majority of custom roms are flashed this way , though you need to read every ROM thread for special instuctions , if any

Happy flashing!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Only real dangers of hardbricks on this phone are:

Flashing the bootloaders and losing power/connection mid flash (Even then the phone has a backup so might be recoverable)

Flashing a rom with the pit file added into odin and reparition ticked and losing power/connection mid flash

Using a i9000 pit (has happend)

Possible hardbricks

Flashing a rom/kernel for the wrong phone (should be recoverable by using a usb jig to get into download mode)

radio is pretty much unbrickable, people have flash radios for the wrong phone (i9000 again) and its recovered, dont mess about though.

Back up your EFS asap, Hellcats ktool is an easy way todo this once you have root. This is because it will sometimes randomly corrupt when you are flashing, its happened to me, I managed to recover it, thank god I had about 4 backups! The EFS contains your IMEI etc, and without it your phone part of your phone wont work.

Kernel/recovery are combined, but a bad kernel flash will just mean you have to put it into download mode and flash a new rom via odin.

Generally this phone is hard to break if you are careful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramis:
so when i flash a rom using the recovery, it installs new kernel too right?

which means a new recovery must also be installed. wouldn't that conflict with the current recovery that is being used while flashing.

[HTC Wildfire S] VitanyLTD:
Hi,

Well, i have a short question:

Ive managed to install cm7 on my phone,

Everything went fine, but is it possible to brick my phone without touching the bootloader and recovery? I just want to be sure if im installing another rom. When and how does my phone get bricked? Im installing roms throug clockworkmod, and i make backups with clockworkmod too.
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
depends.

if you have unlocked bootloader and S-ON, you won't get bricked, because you can not flash hboot and radio. so you always can use fastboot to flash /boot, /system and /recovery

if you are S-OFF you can brick your phone by unsuccessfully flashing an hboot.
[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
if you make regular backups with CWM that the likely hood of causing a paper weight is slim and none thats what the recovery is for if you mess up when tweaking etc you can easily recovery from the latest backup ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] VitanyLTD:
Well, im s-off, already updated what i want (recovery, etc.) and only planning to install roms. Can hboot and radio get changed by installing roms using clockworkmod?
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
radio and hboot usually only get touched by full firmware RUUs

CWM will only work with /system, /boot, /data and caches. so cwm can not cause a phone brick
[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
no they need flashed via fastboot or hboot itself so you dont need to worry about a custom rom flashing a radio.img etc
[HTC Wildfire S] VitanyLTD:
Thanks for helping me out, i got my answer :D.
[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
no problem happy flashing :)
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
is the new hboot for ICS unlockable at HtcDev?

also if i flash new firmware for ICS, what device do i choose? tmob or the Sensation EU?
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
If you're already s-off, why do you want to unlock? You wont get tye ffastboot flash commands working. The only thin it changes is in the hboot screen, instead of *****LOCKED****** (which it really isn't) it shows ******UNLOCKED*****. There is literally no difference. You're still s-off, and you get to keep you warranty.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
thanks, i dont want to lose fastboot, only reason i dont want to update , but all the new ICS roms want to flash new firmware and radio, which it needs new hboot...
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
If you're going to run a sense based 4.0.3 ics rom, then you MUST flash the frimware. There's no way around it.

But you can get around the fastboot stuff, you can make a .zip that you can flash through hboot (just like you would firmware).

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
yea i know bout that but i want to avoid doing that as well, i dont want to keep use PDIMG im use to fastboot, but i guess if anything i can always go back down to hboot 1.17 and jus stick with what even ICS that doesnt really requirenew F/w

My grandsons all have Kindle Fires. I got to play with one today and can't believe how much smoother the touch screen is :confused: My Nook feel like it has a lot more friction to it. Just not as smooth as the Fire
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdlothar:
The physical feel of the screen or the scrolling of content?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LiuAnshan:
My experience is that the fire 'feels' nicer but the nook has better sensitivity and responsiveness.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
Yeah it feels like the nook has something sticky on it when it first comes out of the box but the feeling goes away after a while and if you put on a screen protector the feeling goes away right away since you are now feeling the screen protector instead of the screen itself.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
Yes, it does feel sticky on my finger? I will try a screen protector.

I'm looking for a replacement for my trustworthy Hd2,and today was comparing some phones as I'm very inclined to the galaxy series,and actually realized that the sensation xl and the titan have very close specs,processor and GPU are the same,I was impressed by how close on hardware these phones are,with the right development and a good amount of luck this can be a hell of a phone..

No. Not ever.
[HTC Sensation XL] titanhydro:
I really don't see why not. The hardware is there, all it needs is someone willing to to put in the time and work to get it to work on the sensation XL.

If I could find out how to port OS's I'd be working on them all the time.

If someone would be willing to show the process of porting OS's that would probably help the community out alot.
[HTC Sensation XL] TheiPhoneKiller:
i remeber someone saying porting android wp7 on a hd2 was a stupid idea and look what happend so nothings impossible and theres a lot to learn from that but if im honest,theres a hell of a lot of work and time involved and an awefull lot of barriers to get through first,itle need a whole new bootloader to start with,at this moment in time it just doesnt seem a viable option and if you want wp7,your better off getting a Titan
[HTC Sensation XL] gavguitarhero:
The hardware is there. Like previously stated though it would take alot of time and effort to port WP7 to the sensation.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dantemp:
When I am starting a text, I start typing the person name in the "To" field. As I start typing the person's name, the phone gives you names of contacts that match as you start typing that person's name. But here's the thing, it shows the same name 5 times in the list of suggested names, when I have each contact listed only once in my contacts. So for instance, If I'm texting Jim, it will show Jim as a suggestion as I type J and then I, but it will suggest Jim 5 different times for his same email, and mobile number. I only have him in my contacts just once with one email and one mobile number. Why does this happen and can it be fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Are you using stock sms?

You may try a bit of troubleshooting by downloading GoSms Pro and/ or GoContacts from the app market to see if you have the same problem. This way you will have a better idea whether it is your stock sms, stock contacts or something else.

This has happened since having this phone. I used to use go launcher and go sms, and it did happen with go sms as well. I just recently flashed Valhalla Final. But it still happens. I always say no to syncing with gmail, as I always just import my contacts from my SD card. How do I see if my contacts are indeed synced with gmail or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Go in gmail on your computer and look at your contacts. I actually use gmail to clean up my contacts. Maybe try syncing with gmail, delete them off ur sd card and phone and only use gmail sync for your contacts.

+1 for only using google contacts. Easier to keep track of phone numbers while you're flashing a bunch of roms.

Ok watched video and liked it. Next running the current (as of last nite) Cm7. Would like to get the camera working have read some of the threads. Best I can figure its not happening. Also having some problem viewing youtube videos. Is there a rom that solves these problems or should i go back to some form of mod gingerbread. Or what?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I believe you are using the official CyanogenMod nightlies, correct?

The official nightlies don't incorporate the fixes for video and other media out of the box.

You could install the fixes, but you will have to Google around and find them, then install the zip in

I recommend using the unofficial CyanogenMod nightlies over in the Rootzwiki Droid X Developer Forum.

It supports all the fixes plus 720p video playback, as well as other fixes.

If you're interested find the thread and follow the instructions given.
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10191-updated-info-on-revnumbers-cm4dx-gb/

There is the thread on RevNumbers.

And I agree that those are the better bet for CM7.

Since you appear to be on official...

You're not on the correct kernel to flash RevNumbers nightlies.

Make sure you are (I don't think you are) on .602/.605 system version.

Follow the usual procedure to back up your applications with Titanium Backup and all that good stuff...

Then SBF to .602

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/331-guide-flashing-droid-x-sbf/

My signature has a more thurough walkthrough of the actual backing up/re-rooting/flashing procedure if you need it.
[Droid X General] RandomPooka:
Definitely suggest going to the gingerbread based cm7 on DX. There's two different releases of it just compiled on 01/07/2012 and instructions for applying any fixes are in the OP. The only one necessary for certain is the camera fix. If you need help, I can give you a hand, but not FAST, as I'm at work during regular business hours M-F EST :-)

Ok so you folks are saying that i loaded the nightly and need to get the full os before the nightly ok. while i'm in the is there anything that can be done about under volting be low 300 to save battery. Do i need a updated radio or kernel?
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Kernel is the problem...but we can't manually update our kernels.

Do a nandroid (just in case) and titanium backup.

Then sbf to .602. This will update your kernel for you (and is the best [only outside of certain update.zips that rom manager provides] method).

Root using the method detailed in my sig.

And flash the rom.
[Droid X General] speops38:
Ok sbf too .602 but having problems rooting tryed pete's tool but it just sits there. if i reboot my computer it says to connect my phone then just sits there. tryed z4mod 1.3.0 it keeps force close. Any ideals ? Also ever time i plug phone in to computer it trying to open window for verizon backup page.
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
You make sure USB Debugging was enabled?
[Droid X General] speops38:
Yes it was in and used same port for sbf. ? When using rs and it boots phone it shows 100% on 1 column but the next 1 says in progress. How long should I allow this to care on before unplugging it. Shave sbf 2 because the phone app wouldn't let me call out. It would show contact and green phone and click when you touched it but nothing happened.
[Droid X General] speops38:
Ok here where we are at.

1) went in and checked the debugging and allow unknow source (nobody said anything about this but tryed it at this point). Used moto 5.4.0

2) I have sbf .602 using rsdlite 5.4.4 (left the cable in the same port for the rest of this).

3) wiped data using the power & home button to get to the bios menu.

4) tryed to boot with pete's tool v1.07 ( it just sat there waiting for the phone to be hooked up)

5) tryed just for fun Z4mod 1.3.0

6) Read some more tryed the Droid 3 easy root v7 it ran half to night sitting there waiting for the phone to be hooked up.

So what am I missing??????
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
After you SBF you must recheck USB Debugging.
[Droid X General] speops38:
I have checked a number times!!!! Also how well does factory wipe clean these because this phone was rooted before. What about the dalvik memory?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Try using a different USB port or a different computer. Also, try reinstalling or updating your moto drivers.

A data wipe won't remove root, but SBFing will. It's always safe and recommended to wipe the dalvik cache.
[Droid X General] speops38:
Planing on trying a different computer on Saturday.
[Droid X General] speops38:
New problem!!!!

1) got a 64bit windows laptop loaded moto usb driver

2) booted computer and checked phone for usb debugging on

3) down loaded pete's one step root

4) unzipped and ran program it said it was looking for phone plugged it in

5) pete's tool took over and rooted .602

6) went into market and got droid2 paid ran it

7) wiped data and wipe dalvik

8) loaded cm7 154 and it said something about wrong kernel.

9) rebooted

Now it will not let me back into clockwork.

10) try droid X bootloader try going though rom manger

no luck it goes blank but the screen is still some what lite.

Help!!
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
You tried to flash a Froyo kernel rom over stock Gingerbread (using the Gingerbread kernel), which bricked your device.

SBF back to .602, root again, and flash RevNumber's unofficial CM7 nightlies (and Gapps) from RootzWiki.
[Droid X General] speops38:
Found the problem. When using rslite you need to un zip the .602 file do not us rslite to uncompress it. It was making a bad os on phone once i did that it loaded and rooted like clockwork. Thx for all you folks hanging in the with me.

Not quite sure what you mean format back to stock. Yes, you will lose everything stored on your current card, but I don't think any registry settings are changed. You will need to re-install apps, games, music, pictures, etc. Just time-consuming. Only things I think you'll lose permanently are SMS & email stored on your phone.
