Hi guys,
so afew days ago my pc seemed to just turn off randomly as my phone was charging from it.. my pc still worked ok after some quick tinkering but my phone would no longer boot into the old modaco desire rom i had installed.
I figured it was a good time to find a froyo ROM instead and so i decided to get the eViL NXSense ROM. Last time it was much more easy for me to install since i had just unlocked and it all went smoothly, this time i put the ROM on my phone and tried to flash it and it just doesnt load, it sits on the 4 colored lines :\.
Can some1 help me and guide me how to install this and get it working, i really need my phone up n running.
Thanks in advance.
Link to the ROM i want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290
i dunno. Ive only flashed cyan stuff. Are u running 2.2 or 2.1? Maybe u need to upgrade ur radio? Did you wipe?
+1. Did you wipe?

what problem are you facing? which recovery are you using?
Ok, i did wipe 1st, im using an old recovery which i used when i 1st flashed my old modaco ROM, cant remember what its called but it was up-to-date then.
I discovered i have more problems though. My PC doesnt seem to regocnize my phone, i can move files around using the fastboot fine, but activesync and such doesnt regocnize my phone :\.
How can i fix this since i guess this needs fixing before i can do much else?
:S sorry im a total noob at this rly feel kinda in the deep end.
Hmm.. I am sorry. I don't have any idea about that syncing problem. I hope other member may help you with that.. I am noob too..
Personally, i would start off dealing with the computer issues.
Find a program *win version* called usbdeview. UNINSTALL all drivers related too your phone.
Make sure you have at least the SDK/Tools folder.
Reboot your system.
Connect your phone and reinstall the drivers.
Activesync??? Ummm what's that needed for?? i used too use that app for Motorola phones.
Make sure you have at least the SDK/Tools folder.

When you install the android Software Development Kit (SDK), it should create a folder inside of it that is called "Tools".
For me, it is at C:/android-sdk/Tools. This is the folder that contains the magical fastboot and adb tools that you need to do anything devious with an android device.
Ok, then it seems i don't have it at all.. did a full search and cant find it.. i did format my pc around 3 months ago and dont think i ever really installed anything for my phone since i saw no need for it.
I've downloaded it now from the android website . All unzipped and ready to use.
Hi guys,
first sorry for my bad english.
I have a big problem to face with my N1
I wish to install a custom ROM, so I've rooted my phone and downloaded the Rom Manager apps from Market. I've flashed the clockwork recovery and downloaded the cyanogenmod. So I reboot my phone in fastboot mode, select recovery and now I have a black screen, nothing happens. My phone boot only when I take off the battery, so now I have no Recovery mode in my phone. Someone can help me please ?
My N1 is in FRF91 build, with a Vodafone ROM from France (SFR)
EDIT : I've already tryed to flash the original recovery and AmonRA recovery (1.7.0 and 1.8.0) from my PC but it fails everytime and I have this message => FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
You've opened a new post on this, also...

Ok, so a quick update/ask for more help. Thanks for the advice so far, it has all worked, i uninstalled all drivers, restarted, plugged in my phone and reinstalled the fastboot so now my pc is recognizing my phone at least.. i have the SDK/Tools ready for when i need them. I don't know whats next though, must i flash a new recovery image? if so where can i get this? Or must i 1st update to froyo?
As long as you have root why don't you download rom manager from the market place and use that to flash new roms? It'll update your recovery if needed. It is a well rounded, worth while app.

Update:
I used amon_ra's recovery 1.7.0 and managed to flash the old desire rom i was using before, but as i said.. i want to update to froyo and use eViL's NXSense 1.21.3 ROM, this requires a new Radio and Kernal i believe.
Can some1 please tell me how to install what i need to to use this rom?
here is a link to the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290

I want to install a new ROM, but i need a new kernal and radio, how do i install them?
Which kernel and radio do you currently have, and what do you want to change to?
Have you already tried anything (if so, what problems are you having)?
Here's the radio info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Radios
You can flash kernel from recovery in pretty much the same way...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
well, i don't know how to find out what kernal/radio i am using currently.
I need radio 5.08 kernal im not sure, but as i explained i want a froyo based desire rom installed. which do i install 1st? how do i go about it? im sorry but im really noob at this stuff .
Well,I just had nothing better to do and decided to download and update to the newest busybox 1.19 using Busybox Installer.I m on Floyo 0.15 with the latest baseband etc etc. After doing that,the phone restarted and never quite managed to boot into Floyo again.I just flashed the 015 baseband again using X10 Flash Tool but still nothing.I get stuck at the white SE logo.
No xRecovery,no nothing.The phone just doesnt boot.Its stuck on the logo.
I know I screwed up.Maybe someone can help me?
Thank you in advance!

seriously,when u're using xrecovery u should not update busybox..coz xrecovery rely on the first busybox u've install..
And actually it's written on first messege in topic, where you get xrecovery. It depend on version of busybox =\
Why can't you read whole 3 first posts of topic?
Reflash phone via SEUS and next time be careful.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Obviously I missed that!
Also every post refers to a busybox version that doesn't exist.
1.7.1 is NOT 1.17.1!!! ;-)
No easy fast fix anyway. :-(
If anyone gets at this point,
its Seus repair time.
Then X10 Flash Tool for rooting
and xRecovery installing and
then you can restore your ROM.
Thought it be good to share.

if you want new busybox, try flashtools 2.9.1 , i've got Busybox 1.17.2 and it works
Ok, so I updated from stock, using official update phone rebooted and stayed at samsung screen forever it kept blinking and vibrating. Pulled battery, tried restarting it goes samsung loading bar -> VM welcome -> flashing/vibrating samsung screen.....I can get into recovery AND download mode. Tried clearing cache, factory reset, and updating again, but still gets stuck at samsung screen. I am desperate guys I really need help, I am going on a LONG road trip this weekend and need my phone so ANY help would really be appreciated. THANKS!
When u say update do u mean u went from ex. 2.1 to 2.2.... android that is? U should elaborate a hit more, if what I mentioned is the case then revert back to the ROM prior to the update. If u give more info I may be able to help from my personal experiences
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Yes used official update went from 2.1 (stock) to 2.2 as the update finished, it got stuck in a sort of boot cycle, stuck at a samsung screen keeps flashing samsung logo, and vibrating. wont fully boot
OK, I saw on my facebook page samsung intercept page. Mediafire link to download update.zip file,has anyone tried this. Will this work,if it bricks my phone i will be pissed...
There's always the chance that a phone can get bricked, no mater what ...even from an 'official' update from your service provider. With that said, however, I've downloaded the Virgin Mobile 2.2 Froyo update file that's floating around and it installed no problem on my phone.
For the first poster ....I believe that the stock recovery is necessary for the VM 2.2 update to work. I won't swear on that though.
Here's what I did. Downloaded the 2.2 VM Froyo update to my laptop. Renamed it 'update.zip'. Copied it to the root of my sdcard on my Intercept via bluetooth. Booted into recovery mode and applied the update. Twiddled my thumbs while it updated itself from recovery and then rebooted....and the reboot takes a while, maybe 5 minutes. Presto ...2.2 Froyo.

I think that you didn't wait long enough...as the reboot takes a looooong time, maybe 5 minutes or more at least. Patience is a virtue.
Okay guys,im new here. I installed VM Froyo 2.2 update.zip,it seems to work fine. A bit slow but its still booting up. I installed stock rom,stock kernal, and update.zip,in that order. And backup works too,wiped dalvik cashe to. I like this forum its more informative,will let yall know more later. Thanks.

You're making this way to convoluted. All that one needs to do when updating from stock 2.1 on the VM Intercept is to download the (official unofficial) update file, rename it to 'update.zip' on the root of the sdcard, boot into recovery, and apply the update. That's it. It installs Froyo and the new radio, etc, itself...all from the update.zip. No need to mess with kernels and recovery or wipe anything ....except one's own azz if they go take a chit while waiting for it to reboot. In fact, when I updated it even kept all of my 2.1 widgets and icons and imported them into Froyo ...I didn't need to do a thing.
Oh, I see ....you had to convert your Intercept back to 'stock' first. Nevermind...
Yes, i did i downloaded stock rom,stock kernal and stock recovery all .zip. Put stock.zips in sdx/zip folder and update.zip 2.2 in root on sdcard. Installed all three wiped dalvik cashe rebooted each time in custom recvery. When i got to stk rec. rebooted to stock rec. Ran update.zip 2.2 may take a while but it booted no problems.
Can u get the phone into download more with any button sequences, YouTube it if u don't know what i mean(mobiletechvideos) then y will need to use odin to use tp download an official Samsung Rom.... PM if u need help

hi all,
im new here and i would like to ask for a link for the most stable and fast ROM... i know many of members here already posted this kind of request and i've read some of them but still i think chose the wrong one.. i tried to install the floyo ROM on my x8 last week... on the first two days its ok... but when i tested the wifi, the browser is malfunctioning so i tried to reboot the phone... after that, the system suddenly crashed and some of the apps like launcher failed to initialize... i can't even see the menu that time and the phone always displays the "force close the application"... i thought that i will not be able to use my phone again but thanks to flash tool which i also got here...
i also want a ROM with multi touch... and please the most stable.... if there are some tips and reminders in using custom ROM's to minimize this errors that i've experience please give me a list... i still need a lot of info in modifying my x8... thanks guys!!!
Nearly all 2.2 ROMs are stable, and if you want Gingerbread, use GingerDX or MiniCM7 (I´d recommend you GingerDX).
You can also use KuyaDroid, but I did never use it and so, I don´t really know how fast and stable it is.
All those three have a fully working camera.
My tip is that you do a full wipe before installing ANY new ROM, to avoid those errors you had.
Like codfreak, I also recommend you GingerDX 010, very stable and fast.
If you are lucky to have a Cypress digitizer on your X8 you will get multiTouch.
This is my recommendation
Froyo/cm6:Froyobread because is Final
Gingerbread/cm7:GingerDX is most stable cm7 for daily use
More description Here
Froyobread most stable rom ..or u can also try floyo 0.30 ..its stable as well..atleast for me..
I think the GingerDX v.6 i currently use on my phone is very stable. I know v.10 is out there but right now im to lazy to do a full wipe and so on. The only problem i had was when i first did the installation from stock 2.1. to GingerDX v.6. I did not do a full wipe before the installation and the phone did hang at the CM logo.. I rebooted and did a full wipe. Since then the phone has been rock solid. Everything i have tried on my phone works. One minor bug is that when the battery is realy empty (as in: the phone closes itself) the X8 recovery comes up the next time the phone is started. When i do a reboot in the recovery-program a "master pin code"- question is popping up. I just click never ask for this again or something like that and after that everything is fine..
I´m very happy with the GingerDX!

Hi... i have a new problem... i updated my phone yesterday using pc companion to restore its original ROM because it was bricked last week... then i rooted it and installed the busybox, root folder and xRecovery.. i wanted to test this "STABLE ROM" on my x8..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036335
so i installed it using xRecovery.... i tested everything and it was great... i installed some app and games on it and tried to transfer the installation using app manager to save some phone memory... i also installed the launcher pro...
i reboot the phone to see if the xrecovery is working for backup if ever i encounter an error again using the ROM... and its working...
the last thing that i did was testing its wifi... its already in obtaining ip status... but its always disconnecting and after several disconnection, the phone reboot and suddenly its showed a message that "the application DSPmanager has stopped unexpectedly" (can't remember the exact message) and telling me to "force close" it... i rebooted the phone several times but it always shows that message... so i tried to access the xRecovery but it doesnt appear and i tried it many times....
is there something wrong on my installation process?? or this is just a bug of that ROM??? i've read some feedbacks on that thread but i didn't see a wifi problem on others and "the application DSPmanager has stopped unexpectedly"...
i just dont know why can't i access the xRecovery... PLease Help me T_T]
Thanks a lot for the feedbacks guys!!!
for me, the stable rom is minicm, it's standard
but i like feature on GDX/Froyobread
Hi mikel_0004 If you still can boot your phone, why don't you re-install xRecovery? and then restore a backup...
If your ROM was working BEFORE you started installing apps, then the problem should be some app you installed OR uninstalled, Did you uninstall any system app?
...tried to "transfer the installation" using app manager to save some phone memory...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
are you talking about SystemAppRemover ? what did you "transfer" ?
About DSP manager, you can safely delete that app from /system/app with root explorer. (I read it has problems if you are using kickass module)
@mikel_0004:
If you have your ROM's backup, you can try to flash back to stock ROM, re-root and re-install xRecovery. after that, restore your backup.
Hello, while I was testing 2.3.5 witch was great except that the mobile network was not woorking at all. So I decided that I needed too downgrade. And when I was browsing the phone I accidentally found this way.
This has not been proofed by anyone else I think.
Disclaimer: I do not take the resposibility for your device.
1. Put the dload on the root of SD-card (I used 138sp4)
2. Then go to storage in preferences. Head too the bottom then choose "upgrade SD-card". The phone blacked out, started up and installed 2.2
3. The phone boots up in recovery because of many errors. I choose wipe data/chache and wipe chache and reboot.
4. The phone rebooted and I am back to 2.2.2 from 2.3.5.
This method keeps the start-boot-picture (does not know if the other sulutions keeps it).
Sorry for my bad grammar on some of the words. I just wrote them down and did not have the time to fix them.
Hmmm...interesting....maybe I should try 2.3.5 even if I have the Atmel screen. :/

I have atmel screen but I like it because i wear gloves and the screen is so sensitive that it responds thrugh them.
I was forced to downgrade from 3.2.5 to 2.2.2 for the exacly same reason and i tryied that same way you did and i couldnt do it, i got a message saying something like "there are no upgrade firmware inside the SD card". So i used the root & replace boot and recovery files to downgrade what was a sucess. Got the same issues as you with the boot but the "wipe data/chache" from recovery resolved it.

But as far i could read about good/bad reports for 3.2.5 and all the different problems different people having version and same phones making me belive what's possible for one's arent for others.

Yes its working great but if u have custom rom installed remember to factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik in recovery before downgrade, if u will not do this phone will stay at unpacking screen forever.
