Different kernel. it is using the 2.41 RUU. So go ahead and flash the boot.img

Here's what you should do for any new ROM with a different kernel.

Wipe System

Factory Reset

Flash boot.img

Flash the ROM

flash gapps (if AOSP based)

reboot and have fun

When doing a nandroid backup, it is only necessary to backup

System

Data

Boot
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
Ok thanks for your response but I'm still a little confused. First did I back up my current rom properly so that I can return to it later on? Secondly does viper and boot img have to be flashed or can they be installed from sdcard via twrp? If they have to be flashed whats the fastboot command.?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
You backed up fine, it just takes up a little more space.

You have to extract the boot.img from the ROM and put it in the same folder as fastboot.exe

open command prompt, and navigate to the folder fasboot.exe is in and do the following command

fasboot flash boot boot.img

If it gets stuck at waiting for device, reboot into your bootloader, boot into fastboot from there. and then try again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
Viper is the Rom u flash it from twrp it's. azip file that's fkashable so make it easy and flash viper there and than flash the boot IMG from fastboot the command is all over the forums I thinks it fastnoot flash boot.img
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
don't be confused. read.

you always have to flash boot.img in fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then flash the zip in twrp make sure to wipe, and don't download international roms. you still have to flash the boot.img from your backed up rom.

like a hundred threads asking the same stuff because no one wants to read
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
I'm sorry but I did read. I saw that if you have the same kernel as that of the rom you're flashing you don't have to flash boot.img. So I asked to see if stock and viper have the same kernel. I don't want to flash anything that will brick my phone.

Now one more question if you don't mind answering. I also saw that you can't downgrade RUU. So if viper is based on 2.41 RUU and stock is 2.20 RUU then will I be able to go stock after flashing viper?

I really do appreciate yalls help. i would be where I am if it weren't for you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
Yes. Just wipe you system and do a factory reset , and flash the boot.IMG for 2.20 and then flash the Rom.

If you want true stock 2.20 then you will have to relock your bootloader and then run the 2.20 RUU. You would only want to do this if making a warranty claim or something. If you want stock rooted, then yes, do what I said above
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
Ok got it. I do appreciate your help. Flashing now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
downgrading only refers to the ruu not the zipped roms. so you can't run 1.85 ruu after running 2.20 ruu/ota but you can still flash a rom based on 1.85.

if you are reflashing the same rom you don't have to reflash boot.img but if you are flashing a new rom then you need to flash boot.img. 7-zip will tell you the crc32 of files so you see tell if it's a different checksum.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
Viper Xl's great. Seems to be slightly slower than stock on some task, but the lack of bloatware, and the extensive customization is worth it. Haven't found any bugs or nothing so far. If anyones familiar with viperxl though what is the last app in the app drawer? Its got a chinese name? When it loads it says Dolby Surround but all the writing is in chinese?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
That's because you flashed the Voodoo mod, it's apart of the mod, theres a chinese part and a english one called "Dolby Digital" or "Dolby Surround"
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CrossFire78:
When I flash ViperXL 3.1.0 JB do I need to flash a radio too? My phone has hboot 1.4 and software 2.2, so I understand that I cant flash radio with hboot 1.4? Does this mean I need to downgrade my hboot/software version?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ronnie498:
Most people have good luck w/out flashing another radio.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CrossFire78:
Hmm. Might there be a patch I'm missing out on? I just flashed one file -ViperXL 3.1.0 JB - Android File Host (692MB)

edit- Works now after another reinstall installed boot image first this time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] acey_zero:
This is exactly what I am wondering. There were a lot of really good deals last year, I got a phone for free which I sold on ebay for $500. The Note II is so new though, I am worried if there will be any sales on it... Anyone care to speculate based on past experience?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] privatewarrior1:
Did you have to sign a contract to get the free phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] be1ieve1111:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] acey_zero:
Yes, naturally I had to sign a 2 year contract :) But I used the money to buy cheaper phones for both me and my wife, and her line is up for renewal this year, so if there is a good deal, I may be able to convince her to let me use it for a Note II :)

My notification light is demonstrating strange behavior. When the screen is on, the light is fine. After the screen has been off for a few minutes, the notification light dims out to about half its normal brightness. If I turn the screen on, the brightness is restored.

Cheapest price anywhere is the Verizon price for a non-contract phone purchase (and plan to pay 691 bones more or less depending on your state tax rate - effing gov't...). Already did the extensive search, everyone is more expensive (base price) than VeeZeeDub. That's the price we pay for wanting the latest and greatest when it first releases (just picked up mine yesterday to keep my unlimited data plan, which I am thinking is your reasoning for the off-contract purchase as well).

Personally, I think it's worth every dollar of that 691 bones, and that's coming from a perpetual "buyer's remorse" personality :)

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifeAsADroid:
Our taxes are probably about the same, doing a quick calculation I'm guessing your rate is 6%, mine is 6.35% (CT sucks arse in more ways than just this). I bought the MAXX HD, you got the HD Dev. HD Dev is 600 bones, MAXX HD is 650. I wanted the larger battery, and I'm in no need of an unlocked phone since they already have a rooting method for the HD (and MAXX HD of course).

And I'm also banking on the developers here having the skillz to unlock this bad boy by the time I need it unlocked (if ever).

Hello people, i been running ics on my thrill for most of the day. I have signal and 3g data working. Full bar signal at that. Im not a developer, so probably just luck i guess. But these are the steps i took in flashing so maybe someone can figure it out. First i flash rom (bin) then the baseband (fls) i extracted from xbsall rar file. I flash them both using p920.dll. It booted and ran but like others i had no signal or data. So then i flash v20a baseband using p920h.dll. And when i booted it gave me signal but it was just edge. Next i flashed v20e, booted and it to bootloops. Power it off, and reflash v20a again. And when it booted this time bingo.. 3g... the last to flashes i used p920h.dll dont know if that did it or not... hopes this helps

im so confused on how to flash LGP920AT-00-V18a-AMA-XXX-OCT-28-2011+0_CP.fls

do i add it along with the bin or do i flash it one by one?? because i done both and every time i got ics to work on the phone and try to flash the baseband i can't get the phone to connect to LG flash tool hell after ics is installed i can't even get to download mode, when I try it just goes to the charging blue battery screen and never connects...... this is truly frustrating because i never had to flash basebands like this and i have no choice but to go back to GB just so i can make and receive calls :crying:
[LG Thrill 4G] dkdk1fam:
This is what i do to get it to flash, take the battery out of the phone. Unplug my usb cord from both my phone and pc. Click on arrow to start flash. Port 1 will say ready. Now while holding down the up volume key plug my usb cord into the phone, then i put the battery back in(still holding down the down the up volume buttom). Then plug the other end of the usb cord into my pc. After 2 or 3 seconds u here connecting sound, then u can finally release volume up key. All baseband(clfs) will error out around 20% or more. Thats normal. Thats mean it done. Unplug usb and reboot phone... = ics.... hope this helps...

I just picked this up for a back up phone and looking for the latest way to root this version.

I've noticed a few one clicks and some others using SDK but a lot of these seem to be old threads that have not been updated for this version. I need someone's help in pointing to the right tutorial for 4.1.1 stock NS4G.

I'm using the one-click-8.0 and Sabra's but every time I click 'Locked' it brings me to the Bootloader screen and I do not know what to click after that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Stop using 1 click crap. Rooting a Nexus S takes 10 minutes at best. Nothing changed since the phone came out because it's a piece of cake to unlock a Nexus S, heck, it's meant to be unlocked.

Download and install ADB drivers

Download and unpack fastboot & adb

Connect your phone to your PC. Reboot in bootloader mode (VOL UP and PWR)

From a command line, fastboot oem unlock

On your phone, scroll to Yes, press pwr

This will wipe your phone

Reboot to bootloader again, flash a custom recovery (fastboot recovery recovery.img)

Reboot to recovery (VOL UP and PWR, then scroll then recovery and press pwr)

From within, flash su or supersu.

Tada! Just rooted your phone.

Edit: Here's a link to a guide with pictures and every necessary file linked.

I noticed that with ICS the SR had a leak but the Hercules never did, Now the sprint version does. I figure if we ask for one for our phone to the same person that finds these leaks they may be able to find one for our device. I figure that samsung will make the updates and then is tmobile's job to decide wether release it or not. So if they worked on the sprint version they have to work on all of the S2 series.

I may be wrong. But who ever find these leaks may have contacts inside samsung. And none of they on XDA may have the hercules version as personal phone. But it also looks odd if samsung just update a few of the s2 series out there and not all of em. And T-Mobile should be jealous if other carriers update their S2 to JB and not their Hercules

there is a way to tether using a rom that has the extended toggles mod by using the hotspots toggle...but there is a catch, you must change your ssid and do a clear data on settings each time you want to tether.
