typically two methods

SON with HTC-dev unlock --then rom

SOFF --then rom (SOFF again two methods - with/without HTC-DEV )
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
to do so, you just flash a ROM through recovery. whether that be CWM (ClockWork Mod) or 4EXT touch.

pretty easy. as custom ROMs come pre-rooted, you won't need to worry about the rooting part. just the S-OFF thingy and flashing a custom recovery i previously mentioned.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] WilDip:
Hello. I have backed up my stock rom and would like to flash a new custom rom. Team Win Recovery is all new to me as I used clockwork recovery and Amon RA on my old evo 4g. Before I flash a new rom, I know I'm supposed to wipe cache and dalvik, but do I also wipe system? Thank you for your help in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
If you're flashing a different ROM all together, then I usually do Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik Cache. (in that order)

I don't know that the order matters, it's just my way of doing it, and I've never had any problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] WilDip:
Wipe Menu

Thanks for your quick response. Gladly appreciate it! But there's also an option in the wipe menu to wipe "system". In the wipe menu, there's: cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, battery stats, rotation, system. I wiped cache, dalvik and battery, anything else I neeed to wipe before I install a custom rom? In clockwork recovery, all I used to do is wipe data, cache and dalvik.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crump84:
Yes, when flashing a fresh ROM wipe EVERYTHING, including system. I usually wipe a few times just to make sure I'm starting fresh. I haven't used this super wipe but you can also check this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1700211

Edit: I don't usually worry with wiping battery stats or rotation
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] WilDip:
Got It

Thank you. I wiped everything and performed a factory reset.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timtlm:
You don't need to wipe system. Any decent rom out there will wipe the system for you before the rom flashes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
If I'm not mistaken, I believe that the factory reset wipes system anyway.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
No factory reset does not wipe system. Also do not use super wipe zips. They are bad for you

sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timtlm:
Factory reset wipes the data partition. It does the same thing as the factory reset within the phone settings. If you wipe system, it completely wipes out the OS, and there will be nothing to boot. Of course you can still get back to recovery. When you flash a rom, by default it should wipe the system for you and replace the system with the rom you are flashing. There may be a case where you are flashing an incremental upgrade, which will not wipe the system.

The reason you do a factory reset (data wipe) when flashing between roms is because settings and other stuff that was saved on the data partition may not be compatible with the rom and cause issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Based on what?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
Based on what developers have said. Super wipe originated from a CWM issue back on the EVO 4G and people never seemed to of forgotten.

sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
The issue was with cwm not superwipe. The superwipe created for this device works fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
the issue was with cwm, the superwipe was made to combat that issue. a good dev will set his rom to wipe system. all a user has to do is factory reset in recovery. Superwipe is a unnecessary step and could be bad for the phone if its corrupted or the person who made it did it wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tarroyo:
really great info, thanks guys!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sanyialo:
So if i wipe the system, i can still get back to recocery?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Yes. A system wipe doesn't affect recovery. It just wipes the system partition on your phone. The recovery partition remains unaffected.

hi all, it s my first thread

i have a new samsung galaxy note never rooted, never updated, on gingerbread 2.3.5.

I want to know if i must root my device before doing this to update to ICS .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
If you want stock ICS you can just flash the required files using ODIN, If you want a custom ICS ROM then you will either have to flash a safe kernel and cwm (some kernels have cwm built in) then update that way, You may also have to flash ICS through ODIN, then a kernel, then a rom. read the requirements in the OP

If you let me know which ROM you want i can try help you through the process.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
There´s no need to root your phone in order to update, but if you flash it thru PC Odin you will get the yellow triangle and will raise the binary counter. Besides, with the hardbrick bug around maybe is not the best idea to update now. You should hold on a bit until Samsung releases the fix for the bug....:o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tunisien14:
thanks

i want to install stock ics rom, so i do like in the guide without rooting my note on gingerbread (before updating) ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
I upgraded to stock ICS by just flashing it via ODIN, Dont worry about the binary count or yellow triangle if you get it, It can be removed. I have it but wont remove it till i need to send it back.

But as glevitan said, Its best to stay on GB if you feel anxious about upgrading, There isnt a huge difference between the 2 anyway.

If you dont care and you are a dare devil who laughs in the face of danger, Just be sure to read read read all the guides.

If in doubt..............ASK !

Can anyone recommend a good general purpose camera app? Since switching to CM9 my the picture quality has significantly decreased with the AOSP camera vs the TW camera. The top hits on the play store are all retro/filtered apps which isn't what I'm looking for. I don't mind if the app has filters but I don't want it to be the main focus. Ideally I'm looking for something equivalent to the the Camera+ app on iOS.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I wish google had a longer trail period. 15min just isn't enough time to do a real comparisons between all the apps suggested, CM9 and TW.

Anyway, what from what I was able to test, I didn't see any significant differences in full auto mode and the stock CM9 camera. When I get a chance I'll have to flash back to TW and take some test shots and see if there's an actual difference or if I'm just imagining it.
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
Ok so here's what i did.

I rooted the phone, installed the CWM Recovery and everything.

Next I installed the Android Revolution HD Rom 7.1.0 by doing the "Super Wipe".

It got into boot loops

Then after factory resetting and every other things I could do I tried to do the new RUU on my O2 HTC One X Unlocked.

For that you have to Re-Lock it (which I did)

And I cant go into any of the Fastboot settings etc too because its battery level is very low. :(

Please someone help me. I just bought this phone :(
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
go into fastboot, flash the new recovery, boot into recovery, and let it charge. then do watever u want
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
I Re-Locked the phone :(

Will that flash the Recovery?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
unlock the phone again. flash the latest recovery. then go into fastboot. fastboot erase cache , then flash the kernel, go into recovery flash superwipe, flash rom and reboot and job done..

before you do all that though backup your current rom
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
I cannot go into the fastboot and do the stuff because it prompts me that I have less battery. There's another problem that the phone doesn't shut off. When it gets out of juice then it turns black, the notification light blinks then when its charging, it loads the Bootloader. It simply just doesn't turn off and that leads to the problem that it uses up the battery much more than the required :/

I've tried powering down from the menu but no use :(
[HTC One X] Goku80:
well then leave it overnight to charge..see what happens in the morning then
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
You see the problem isn't that simple :'(

the phone in the end gets totally low on battery cuz its being gulped faster (cuz the screen is lit and can't turn off)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
man i am sorry then i wish i had more knowledge to give you help. hopefully someone else with more experience and knowledge can come and advise you different. just never had that issue you see.

if you say you can not go into bootloader or recovery then it does not sound right...maybe take it back to retailer or something might be the best option if no one can help out

have you tried the power button with the volume button down for ten seconds to see if the phone reboots?
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
Can anyone tell me the solution to this "keep turning on" habit. If that's resolved there's nothing to it then. Please help me out here :'(

Now when I flash the 5.8.4.0 recovery it says

"unknown partition 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img'

error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-end

So i booted the phone into the recovery mode instead of flashing.

I am finally getting somewhere but how do i know it's charging there? I don't see the red LED turn ON :/
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
LATEST UPDATE:

So when I unlocked the bootloader again. Apparently that solved the "not turning off" habit of the phone.

I went into the bootloader and Power Down my phone, Now it's on charge (waiting for it to turn green)

And I have the O2 branded HTC One X. I also updated it to the 1.29.206.XX something.. I don't remember :/

And I only see one RUU for the O2 branded Phone and that is like 1.26.XXX.XX thing... Will that cause problems since I upgraded the firmware?? :confused: :confused:
[HTC One X] rayford85:
Why is it so hard for guys to flash roms. Man its getting old seeing 50,000 of the same threads over and over.

Ok on to helping :p

You have latest recovery. So boot to fastboot & flash the roms boot.IMG ( fastboot flash boot boot.img) now unplug the phone, press the power button. Now your back in hboot select recovery,once there click mounts & storage button , mount USB drive. Now copy the Rom to your phone. Unmount USB drive, now flash super wipe script. BUT DON'T REBOOT AFTER YOU FLASH THIS!!!!!! choose option to select another zip to flash. This time flash your Rom & reboot. Now your done. Simple huh. & to answer your ruu ?, you can't downgrade ruu's if your on 1.29, your stuck with it till a newer one comes out.
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
Woah! That's spot on... I was surely gonna mess up my phone if i had done the RUU.

Its charging while the screen is off as we speak. But I think there is a problem with the charge thingy.

Its off and charging.. but sooner or later it turns off due to low battery (IM SUCH A NOOB I DNT KNW IF THE LOW BATTERY IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM)

I'll wait for it to charge again though and connect to the PC again

In the meanwhile can u answer me something regarding this

1. Does the red light turns on while charging in CWM 5.8.4.0

2. Does the mount USB Drive works? :'( Cuz when the phone was working fine. The mount USB Drive failed and gave an error of having a "lunfile missing" :/

[REF] Recover AT&T Note to GB Factory with Kies (Will NOT trip your flash counter!!)

Yes, I'm aware that this isn't the accepted way, but it DOES work even with a custom rom & rooted!!

You MUST have Kies full installed on the desktop/laptop and make sure you're updated to the latest version.

1) Boot your note into download mode

2) Connect your Note to the laptop with factory USB cable

2) Launch Kies on your desktop (full version)

4) Choose Tools, Firmware upgrade & initialization

a) While in download mode, pull battery and enter the S/N & model name (ALL CAPS!!)

b) It will prompt to initialize to original settings. Click "YES"

c) It will prompt to initialize the latest version. Click "YES"

d) It will download the firmware upgrade components (DO NOT DISCONNECT THE DEVICE!!)

5) It will prompt for firmware upgrade and initialization.

a) Click check box for reading above information

b) Click your choice if you want your information saved on Samsung Kies corporate servers (I choose WITHOUT saving).

Just kick back, wait and the phone will update to the original out of box software with the latest updates already applied. No issue with anything, no tripping of the flash counter, and Samsung/AT&T knows now different (if you tripped the counter back before performing this, or performed the process of installing CWM recovery through ADB as to NOT trip the flash counter when changing recovery).

This is the EXACT process I did, and had an AT&T tech verify and it's not detectable I was rooted, and was running a custom ICS ROM. Now, I will qualify that I DID the Recovery installation with ADB so that I didn't trip the counter with the Recovery installation. So if they are able to check the binary information to detect modification even with flash counter reset, that's out of my hands and can't confirm or deny.

This is ONLY to reset to factory GB Latest & greatest for performing OTA/Kies update of ICS when it's finally released.

Thanks for this. I just got my first android phone a few days ago and needed to go back to stock to return for a new one. I upgraded to ics, then recently flashed back to stock, but my baseband never changed and I was stuck with two on the counter. I'm super new to this and had an iPhone for 5 years, but I think I download the new cwm so I can reset the counter, then do the emergency download with kies and I should be back to stock out of the box, right? I just hope I can find an easy guide to get the updated cwm, I'll search in.the morning. Thanks again for the kies suggestion. :)

I would do this....

flash the rom through odin....

install CWM recovery.....

flash stock recovery....

flash reset counter....

reboot.....

the KIES method works, but it's tricky, as its actually an emergency restore feature for the note using kies software.

I'm not going to say it isnt safe, because i dont want to make that claim. But odin is painless (IMHO) with the current software and flashable zips we have for CWM......

just my .02.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blackj30:
I just did it via kies as instructed. It worked well, but I can't flash rom afterwards, as it said I don't have enough space. Have to install cwm, toggle something I forgot, then I worked again. Now I'm up to objection ucle5 rom fr appdroid. It works so well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blackj30:
Thanks. I got that zip file. Thought that is a way to reset flash counter :)

Cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deadman_raziel:
Your method works, but when you flash the recovery, you trip the counter (If done via oden, did not find a CMW flashable recovery because I've tried to find one), so it defeats the point of resetting the flash counter. And that just clears the number. It can still be detected that something was flashed if they want to be anal about it. I know that the Kies way is slightly tricky, but it works and resets the recovery & Rom back to stock. Granted, it will still show if you flashed through Oden either recovery or System, but it wouldn't be detectable to someone in a store if that's the route you need to take. If you have to send it in, it could be detected and you could be charged the price of the new device since it voids the warantee. Just saying because I've seen it happen to someone with a skyrocket and the flash counter works the exact same way in the Note.
