[HTC Rezound] PUTALE:
i really would appreciate a some sort of guide and some basic info. Since HTC allows unlock the boot, i am not sure about hwo that plays with the warranty and if there's any recovery. I would really appreciate if someone can have a good guide explaining some basic stuff like the process of getting the phoen to run custome rom (yes I know there are few but it would just be nice to have 1 with a bit detail and also mentioning a few of things we should watchout like warranty, etc).

also I really would appreciate a baisc maybe dumb step by step process with maybe a quick guideline for a newbie like me to follow where it's almost 100% fail proof to kind of test so one can get used to the whole idea of flashing custom rom:)
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Con beat me again but there are plenty of stickies or threads people can read... the reason that there are so many questions is because people are either too lazy to read or dont look at the guides... so i think even if u made one people would still not read it
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
I'd love a noob guide! I have looked at some of the foolproof tools and they seem decent enough for me to get started with...

I'm a lifelong developer, but I am new to android, so it's just a matter of time before I dive in.. and once I'm in, i'll be thrashing around and hope to help out the dev's we got.

That being said... I'm literally one rainy weekend away from unlocking and getting started on all this (but that weekend is hard to find here in SoCal.. :rolleyes:)

-TR
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
If you are a developer I don't know why your not diving in ... It's soo easy to do all the unlocking and stuff... I bet it takes less than an hour and that's just bc u have to wait on things to flash .... But what do I know I'm just an average Joe. :p

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iUNWiReD:
Hi Guys, I really need your help on this one. I have HTC Wildfire from Cox. I wanted to root and remove Cox power up animation on this phone. Here is the details of my phone:

Android 2.2.1

HBoot 1.40.0000

Kernel 2.6.32.21

Let me know if you need more information. I saw many guides about Wildfire but I did not see anyone that has HBoot 1.40.0000 that is why I'm not really sure if the guide is right for my phone.

Sorry I'm new with HTC and Android please help and point me to the right direction.

Thank you so much!!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
Sorry, the HTC Bee is very similar but not the same as the Buzz. But that doesn't mean I can't help you :)

Get one of the Wildfire boot animations or any boot animation that is 240x320. Look in the folders

/system/customize/resource or

/system/media or

/data/local.

Replace it with your boot animation.

Watch it go :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iUNWiReD:
Thanks Giffgaff! You are a ROCKSTAR!!

I was able to root my phone using Z4root :D

Instead of just changing the boot animation I want to load a new ROM. There are so many ROMs in this site how can I tell if the ROM is the right for my phone? Please note this is a CDMA phone.

Thank you so much Guys!!!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
Lol, giffgaff is just the name of my carrier, not actually my username :D

Unfortunately, this is where the Bee is lacking in - ROMs. As the Buzz is a GSM phone, not CDMA, the ROMs in this phone's Development section will not work on your Bee :(

The Bee is very similar to the Buzz but as it is CDMA, most ROMs will not work :( and as there have been no custom recoveries, that makes it even harder to flash ROMs :(

But you're free to make one if you wish, you'll save the Bee community :D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iUNWiReD:
I'm new with Androids. Can you point me to the right direction? Thanks!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
I don't know any ROMs personally for the Bee, but a good place to start to make ROMs is Chef Central, here in XDA. :) You can ask whatever you wish about ROM making - there are quite a good few guides to making them. You can start by extracting a ROM from the HTC Bee RUU. A guide for that is here: I also started off like this! :)

But first of all, it would be a good idea to start learning the Android slang - this is a good one. Or alternatively, browse any random HTC device and browse the threads, looking for new words. And that thanks was to increase your thanks meter. :D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iUNWiReD:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iUNWiReD:
I found Alltel and C Spire RUU.... I'm sure these are "Bee" RUU. How can I tell these are compatible for my Wildfire? Thanks!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
This should be it. I think C Spire only sell the Bee, judging by their website :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iUNWiReD:
Is this a good news or what :D Let's start cookin' people ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
Keep it going and they might open a Bee forum ;)

You can also theme icons once you get the ROM going by going into /system/framework and decompiling framework-res.apk before replacing the icons. Then, compile it as a system app and replace your existing one. APK Manager is a good tool for compiling and decompiling, and using adb pull to get your framework-res.apk in command prompt. e.g

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk C:\Users\Me\Desktop\ROMcooking

EDIT: If you want to unlock your bootloader, not just root, you can try this:

Here

or you can also try plugging your phone into your computer, typing adb reboot bootloader and try fastboot oem write secureflag 0.

But I don't take responsibility if your phone is damaged :eek:

[General Questions and Answers] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Ok, Hey Everyone, I'm kinda new to these forums, I have a question, one that has been bugging me a while now.

First off I had a cyanogenmod rom, I think it was 6.1. Then after a while I decided to Un-Root my G1, and go back to stock, so I did. But when I went back to stock I noticed that my camera would always force closes, I can't get into it. It happens all the time.

Then I tried Rooting again, and I flashed this rom called "GinSense" (a very fast and stable rom) by Rushness, But still my camera force closes. I really do not now why because it can't really be my kernal (which sometimes causes camera to force close) because when I un-rooted it would have been back to stock also.

Please I hope someone can help me, its really got me confused, so I turned to you guys.

I hope this way the right place for my post.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Get a new phone :P

But not knowing the exact procedure that you used to go back to stock, you still might have not flashed the kernel or something else could be wrong. I would try using the instructions here. If you have already tried that, it wouldn't hurt to try it again.

If that doesn't work, when the camera force closes, were you able to at least get into the camera app for a few seconds and see if the camera was actually working before it FC'ed? I know with my G1 (long long ago), I had an issue with the camera and it was the connection on the sensor going to the board.

You might be able to have better luck posting here. I see another user has posted about his camera not working either here. Search next time, it really comes in handy.
[General Questions and Answers] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Thanks

Ok, Thanks for your reply. I will try the instruction on that link and post back. No when I enter my camera I see nothing but a black screen then it tells me to force close about 5 seconds later.

Edit : BTW Can a dev move my post or something, as well I don't want to get hated on for creating a second post about the same thing? xD
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Flash cm6.1 again
[General Questions and Answers] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Yeah

Yeah, I was thinking on doing this, but for me that rom goes unstable after about a month or 2, so its just a waste of time.

This rom I have now runs so smooth I don't really want to change :P
[General Questions and Answers] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Ok, So after un-rooting, re-rooting, trying different kernals, and everything, it still doesn't work.

I think it must be hardware.
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
What rom are you running?
[General Questions and Answers] v0 HaVoK 0v:
GinSense

I'm running GinSense 1.0, but after Un-Rooting and it still not working, So I currently have my phone opened up infront of me, to see if there is anything wrong :P I'm video taping it xD I don't know why.
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Is there any more custom roms? Maybe they are just buggy :p
[General Questions and Answers] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Yay

OMG, It actually worked, So it was a hardware problem, I think it may have been a lose cable, because I pulled the camera cable out and put it back in. Couldn't believe it actually worked.

[HTC Rezound] kng60ft:
So I rooted my rezound, downloaded titanium backup pro, then went an deleted the vzw bloatware. Yes I did bsckup the apps on titanium but I lost my wifi to where I will try and turn it on and it will say error. So now I tried to restore the apps to get wifi back and I can't get amazon kindle,backup assistant, blockbuster, Flickr, lets golf, and peep restored. When I select restore on titanium it just hangs in limbo saying restoring app and it never does. I'm scared to do a factory reset and I brick my phone without those apps. I'm trying to see where I went wrong to lose my wifi. So if someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated... thank you everyone

If you made a nandroid backup in recovery before you can restore that. If you didn't you can either just install a new rom or run a ruu. You have to relock first though to run the ruu.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
Ok, I have decided to go ahead and upgrade my device since I want to maintain root, and Acer has been unable to provide my ANY OTA updates or a copy of firmware and I don't want to ship my device to support just for a firmware upgrade.:confused:

My Device Current Pre-Upgrade info:

Flex Version: 05_COM_GEN2

Device info version: 1.0

Model ID: A100(it's an A100-07u-16u the 16GB)

EC Version: 2d010100

Android Version: 3.2

It IS rooted, with Busybox installed but still stock build.prop etc. The only mod I apply regularly is to enable hulu with my script.

Q: It seems to me they are ALL FULL Firmware installs, meaning Non-Incremental Updates. If so I'm guessing I can go directly to 4.0.3(0.12 build) from 3.2 Gen2, but I have read some mixed info about Gen1 vs Gen2. Im trying to verify I dont need to make and extra upgrade to gen1 first.

Q: Im wondering what the best upgrade path would be from my devices current state, to get it upgraded to ICS with CWM(or other recovery mod?)

Q: I am wondering if I am understanding the correct order of things, especially when it comes to the, temp-root to perm-root, /system rw, Busybox reinstall.

Do I just;

-Do a reset to factory defaults(maybe reroot after?)

-Enable "debug mode" in Settings

(still HC 3.2 Gen2)

-Copy 0.12 to SD card, rename and run update from stock recovery

(if it boot loops do a soft reset to wipe old data?)

-Start ICS

EITHER

-root ICS(mempodroid)

-mount -o remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system/

(Is this still necessary, to enable the installation of busybox to /system etc?)

-install/re-install Busybox, SuperUser from Market

OR

-root ICS(mempodroid)

-Install Busybox, SuperUser from Market

-mount -o remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system/

-Re-install Busybox to correct location(maintains root or re-root also?)

OR

-Some other method?

THEN

-ICS installed and rooted

-Unlock bootloader and install CWM(is this the RIGHT method HERE? for the unlock & CWM?

THEN(optional)

-Upgrade to custom ROM

:)Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] masterpker2:
You should do a factory reset and reroot hc

Then download and install the .009 leak (.12 is an incremental update and does not perform the complete upgrade)

Then run the quick root method for ice found in these forums.

Unlock your boot loader

Flash cwm recovery and install rom manager following my thread on how to.

Then remove the boot.img from the .12 leak and flash through cwm

Hope this helps :-)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
It is completely safe to go directly from 3.2 Gen2 to .12 ICS Gen1.

Upgrade it as it is.

Just root ICS using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531646, and that's it. Do not re-install busybox.

- Place the update.zip on your external sd card

- Boot into the stock recovery (and it will automatically flash the file)

- It will boot up

- Do a factory reset

- Root using the method linked

- Unlock the bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1557445

- Rename the install_recovery.sh in the "/etc/" or "/system/etc/" directory.

- Flash CWM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1558595

Optional - Flash a custom rom.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Land Master:
Follow what Theonew has proposed. I have a Gen2 and everything went swell. The key is to perform a Factory reset after installing ICS. Then:

Root

Unlock

Install CWM

I followed Masterpker2's Instructions in THIS thread and it all went perfect.

I didn't realize that the file for leak version 12 was an incremental. I just checked and I'm running 09 :o

This being said the steps would probably be:

Flash 09

Update to 12

Root

Unlock

Install CWM

Edit: Don't forget this additional step which was missing from the OP that I linked
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
You do not need to flash .09 before .12.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] masterpker2:
From my inspection of the .zip files it seems .009 has boot loader.blob which is needed to update to the ics boot loader.

I did not see the blob in the .012 leak so it was a safe assumption to upgrade to the .009 leak first.

As with all flashing it is better to be safe than sorry. I have only done it the way I explained it above, but hey, if it works then that is one less step. :-)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Land Master:
Yep. I agree with that statement. Just curious more than anything. I'm attempting to compile a consolidation thread and obviously if we can save some steps that's important. The more steps involved the more chances for something to go haywire.

Honestly all the different files that have been floating around can be confusing and I'm just attempting to clarify everything. Worst case is I will give various files a try and document my findings before posting results.

BTW... Thanks for your Thread on CWM. It was an unbelievably valuable resource!!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] .Gibson.:
I just recently flashed my wife's new 3.2.1 gen2 straight to the .012 leak with no issues. I then unlocked boot loader, installed cwm, etc...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Land Master:
Thanks!

Can you check the MD5 of the file (.012) you used against this:

61db347f9137196b936b6a3aa6c5e5f8

The file I have is named: Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1.zip

That is the correct file name and the md5 matches.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
I could have sworn that there was a bootloader I deleted from the zip before flashing 012? Maybe that was 09 ha ha, if you have a look over at the A500 forums the recovery installer app now supports the a100, tested it yesterday, works well
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] .Gibson.:
You probably did. As I said I upgraded from 3.2.1 gen2 straight to ICS .012. I do not even have any of the other leaks downloaded anymore so I am certain. :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
Hey Thanks all for the information. It will make me feel allot more comfortable about performing the upgrade. Im sure other folks will be in the same/similar situation and will probably also find the info useful.

I can confirm that the .012 copy I got from Vanche's site has a bootloader.blob in the root of the .zip file. I didn't yet have the .009, just the original .002 and the .012 anyway so I'm glad I don't need .009.:o I Also confirmed it passed an md5 check 61db347f9137196b936b6a3aa6c5e5f8 Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1.zip.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Land Master:
Good Luck NoSudo. FYI, I have posted a link to 009 in my thread. Not that you should need it but it is there now.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
This information outlines what I did to upgrade stock HC 3.2 GEN2(rooted) to ICS 4.0.3 .012. Leak(for info on rooting HC look here

Update:

Well today after breakfast I decided to go ahead and upgrade.

1) I made a fresh backup with Titanium and copied it to an external device.

2) I placed the Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1.zip inside a freshly formated(fat32) 4gb micro SD card.

3) Renamed the file to update.zip.

4) Did an MD5 check to ensure the file on the SD was a good file.

5) With the tablet shut down I placed the 4GB micro SD card into the A100

6) I twitched the screen lock to "on", held down the "volume down" button, then while still holding the "volume down" button, I pressed the "power button" for about 3 seconds.

7) Once the "booting into recovery" message in the upper left showed up, I released the still pressed down "volume down" button. As soon as the volume down button is released a graphic appeared with a robot with moving gears, and a progress bar.

Once the progress bar reached full, it poped up a message saying "Android is Updating" another progress bar, and a message saying "optomizing application x of 135" x being a changing number as it progressed.

After this process completed my login keypad appeared. I was able to login and all my old apps are still here and it all looks nice. So far so good. Im going to poke around a little then whipe the old data and stuff. Currently though it upgraded and kept all my apps, and settings, and seems to be working well.

I'll post another update later after I have messed with it a bit more.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
When you're ready to root, etc. make sure you do a factory reset first.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
Yep, I'm planning on doing a factory reset and I guess format the internal storage also to be safe. I'm just curious how/what works without doing anything other then the update. So Im messing around with it a little. I also realized I forgot to backup a few documents I need LOL(oops that was close!:o) I didn't think about the fact that titanium just does my apps, and system. So I'm uploading some stuff to my dropbox at the moment.
