[Q] - Hero, G2 Touch General

I am selling my HTC Hero since my Samsung Galaxy Captivate is on the way.
I had flashed a Custom ROM and was using ROM Manager to flash. Unfortunately, during the wiping effort, I also wiped the SD card with the custom ROM on it (trying to do things too fast I suspect).
Anyway, the device boots and runs fine but I'd like to tell the new owner which Custom ROM is installed. Is there a way to tell?
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06DAU_6.35.08_20
Kernel version: 2.6.9-063c4d24
Build Number: 3.32.405.1 CL191507 release-keys
Software number: 3.32.405.1
Browser version: Webkit 3.1

Boot the phone up as normal then press the Menu Key > Settings > About Phone and scroll down to the bottom. There should be a Mod Version title there and it will tell you what custom ROM you have installed.

[Q] Baseband relationship to a (Stock) Rom

Hi, I want to flash my X8 with the SE stock rom "X8_Shakira_E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf"...
My current system is below:
E15i
Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband: xxxx06
Kernel: 2.6.29
Build: 2.0.1.A.0.47
Will the update change the baseband version? And what effect does the baseband have if modified? Would this prevent me from rooting and installing xrecovery?
If you flash newer ROM without flashing higher baseband you may have connectivity issues (like broken internet connection), so it's highly recommended you flash both. And no, it won't affect things like rooting, xrec, or anything like this.

Cheers, okay. Do I need to backup the baseband somehow before flashing the new one? My thoughts are that if I ever have to return to the old rom there may be a compatibility issue or is it a non-question?
Btw, I xrecover'd the new rom and all is good...
I intend to flash the baseband later in the day.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Your device is NOT a Galaxy SII which is an I9100 or I9100M for Bell. I am not even sure what model that is as it is also not even a Galaxy S Vibrant which is an I9000M...
Sorry man, but that's not a Galaxy S II, Bell calls it a "Galaxy 551". Wrong forums.
Sent from my GT-I9100M
Your phone is not a Galaxy S 2. You have a Galaxy 551 or also known as the Galaxy Callistro. You need to find the relevant ROM for the phone. Don't flash any Galaxy S 2 ROMs on it!
Thanks guys, I feel like an idiot for not even noticing

Then you're better off posting and asking in the relevant section of the forums (for your phone), non?

Well, you just take the cake don't you? The answer you are seeking is on the same page just above your post in threefold but without looking or reading you just post away. How do you expect to find any answers when you don't read?
There doesn't appear to be a forum for this device on xda (see this thread)
Nevertheless, it's not a Galaxy S II, so thread closed.

Q: I can't flash from recovery, I get an sdcard mount error.
A: It seems to be related with phone's who are using version 2.51. To solve, try to flash any recent SBF file. If you want to do a nandroid first, check if SD Recovery works for you.

So the SDcard problem seems to originate from the version. The solution which has been provided is to flash any recent SBF file. This is where I am stuck at present.
1)What SBF file is recommendable?
2) is it really required to do take a nandroid image?
Perhaps something to mention: I am working without phone SIM and with a 2 GB Kingston SD card.
Flash a froyo ROM, root and instal 2nt init. Best a non blur ROM (then you don't have to register)
If you don't want to go to eclair (void warranty, official upgrade for your country) you don't have use nand. Nordic is a good choose.

Hi,
thanks for the reply, greatly appreciated. No, I don't want to go back to eclair, since I do not have any warranty anymore....
Where can the ROMs be obtained? I stumbled onto the website as provided by Moto defy a beginners guide (grrr, I cannot provide URL's here) where a whole list of SBFs are given.
However, Nordic seems to be a Gingerbread SBF? Which one to pick in order to get CM working?
Thanks! TY
Problem has been solved.
I updated the phone with Motorola update manager to version 2.2.1.
After the update, the installation of CM worked perfect.
Regards, TY

[Q] Note 3, impossible to custom rom?

I must be terribly impatient or not understanding what I'm doing, probably both actually but I cannot for the life of me find a working method for loading a custom rom on my phone. Could someone PLEASE point me to a resource that will work for my phone? Info provided below:
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Provider: Verizon wireless - USA
Quoted info from settings > About Phone:
Model number: SM-N900V
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: N900VVRUCNC4
Kernel version: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1 MON April 28 16:42:37 KST 2014
Build number: KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4
Hardware version: N900V.07
Security software version: MDF v1.0 release 2
I have root access thanks to towelroot
I have supersu as well. Every guide I've found for different rooms has been busy. I've only tried safestrap methods because I know I can switch back to the stock rom slot and have a working phone again. Im weary of methods that wipe out the stock rom as I really don't want to end up with an unbootable brick.
Ive tried cyanogenmod, and a TouchWiz room who name I can't think of at them moment. Both roms simply booted to a black/blank screen.
I really like the simplicity of cyanogenmod and it is my preference but I'm open to others. Can anyone please advise me on my options please, I've about reached my words end here. Why must these companies make it so hard to make the devices we pay hundreds of dollars look/act/be the way WE want them to be as the now owning consumer?!?
Thank you for your time, help, and guidance, I have nothing but respect for all the developers in this community, wish I understood the system better so I could be of more help as well.

Do we need NC 2 and how would we install it?

I'm in a similar sitch. I have rooted my phone after the NC4 assault using towelroot. Note to those who plan to use it: there are some hijacks out there. Don't go to towelroot.net for example. I have downloaded a couple of safestrap apk files and have been reading up on how to install safestrap. Once installed, then what? I think I need to install the NC 2 kernel but how? What's a kernel anyway? How is flashing a kernel different from flashing a rom? How is an android kernel different from a linux kernel? I can't see a way to run linux commands anyway...
Hi guys! There's a ton of guides on the forums that answer your questions. If you need help you are best of posting the exact steps you took up to that point and at what point you are stuck. Wikipedia also has a ton of information on the basic computer science stuff (what's a kernel? etc...)
Good luck
