Hi all, sorry im an IT noob,
But after using alpharevx to s-off and nej's method, i've successfully rooted my phone..
Now what do i do nxt?
How to flash a rom?
IF possible someone give me a step by step guide pls thanks
You need to install clockword mod recovery first.
Then create a gold card.
You can then copy new ROM files to your SD card and then boot into recovery to install them.
This is very primitive, but let me know if u encounter any problems.
Google is your friend

Yeah I downloaded the latest one... from cyanogenmod website. What to do next?

Put that file in memory card.
Then reboot to recovery.
Then select option to do factory reset / wipe data / wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache.
Then select install zip from sdcard. Then select choose zip from sdcard. Then select ur file downloaded. That's all. Takes about 5min to install and 5min to 1st boot.
And in recovery mode, the trackpad should be used for selecting option. And power button for go back option. If u r stuck with an android picture then press power button.

Can you get to the recovery?
Flash it
And regarding cm7 also download google apps and flash in the same way.
And that's all for cm7 AFAIK. u don't need any extra kernels if u r a simple user. OC KERNEL is also inbuilt. Check cyanogenmod settings under settings.

Nandroid backup should be done before installing a custom rom. It is must if u ask me bcoz it clears many issues.
And titanium backup is for advanced users to be used after flashing a custom rom. Yes kernel might change depending on its presence in the custom rom. But don't worry. Custom kernels will be better than stock kernel.
Edit: Titanium backup can also be used before installing custom rom to backup contents. These contents can be restored after installing custom rom.

You can do a nandroid backup in the recovery.
Backup/Restore option if my memory is correct.
Then just click backup and wait a bit
Nandroid backup can be done from the custom recovery. Explore it and u will find it under nandroid. Takes 5 min to backup. A size if around 250MB on sdcard will be used.
And Google apps is a zip file around 10mb which can be flashed in the same way from the custom recovery as a custom rom flashing process.

Oh okay thanks! Ill try. So basically that's it right? But what about contacts on my phone? Will it be transferred or must I change them all to sim card? anyway just being curious will flashing s custom rom be of a huge difference?

You need a nandroid backup BEFORE flashing a rom, because that's like a system recovery image. If something goes wrong, you can still go back.

Looks like you have the same question I asked in the Sense thread. I will hold off on flashing that rom until the question is answered. Thanks
So you did a nand backup through Clockwork right?

you could try
downloading the stock g2 rom
rename it to PC10IMG.zip
put it on the root of the sd card
Power off
hold volume down + power
flash it as you did the sense rom
My phone also screwed up when flashing the sense ROM, but I manages to nand back...

Probably your only option. The thread for this can be found here.
Most ROMs on the site right now will wipe everything on your phone. You should have made a Nandroid through Clockwork and then back it up on your computer first.
Also, wrong section! This kind of stuff belongs in the General forum.
Yeah downgrade and reflash is your only option at the moment.

Yeah thats what I thought. If you were able to do a nand back up, then all you have to do is wipe and restore to it.

I should probably check b4 posting this, but.... if you boot into recovery, can u see it there? Ill check it out. One min lol
Edit:: I was able to see my backup from within recovery directly. Boot with Vol. Down. highlight Recovery and Press Power to boot into recovery.
from there, you should see clockworks recovery, green menus. Using the vol. keys, highlight the option you want, and use the trackpad to Select, and power button as a Back button.
Goodluck

Flashing the stock G2 rom as PC10IMG reverts the phone to its original state with S-off.
I tried it myself
Sorry for the noob question here, but I have rooted my Samsung Epic 4G and I am positive I am going to install the Froyo rom. However, there's a few things I am not sure on.
1. I downloaded rom manager, but after that, what do i do? Do I install that rom onto the phone and flash the clockwork recovery? Also, do I have to download the clockwork app off of the market first?
2. I know flashing roms requires a wipe, so is there any easy way to back up all my applications and data? I have heard of titanium backup, but I am not sure how to use it.
3. Does owning a mac affect any of these steps when it comes to downloading stuff?
If anyone can explain/post a video about these questions, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks
Edit: during the clockwork recovery app, what are the controls?
I am still quite a noob myself but I can give you a little guidance. Find a root that includes the clockworkmod (I personally used noobnls all in on root method, it was simple and self explainitory, you can even unroot first and then reroot with it), once you have the root with CWM you can then use ROM manager to flash a ROM. Download the .zip of the rom, make sure it is an epic 4g compatible ROM. Put the .zip on your sd card, then use ROM manager. I don't use it though, I just shut the phone off and boot into recovery, the text will be green if CWM is running. Do a backup, wipe to factory, wipe cache, then install .zip from sd. Locate .zip file and flash it. Reboot and you're done. If you are going to flash a froyo rom make sure you read the first post of the thread, it will usually have instructions of what else you need to flash, how to download it and where to find it. Hope this helps, please remeber that I am still a noob and might not be perfectly accurate. Good luck

Also, I forgot, the appbrain app allows you to sync all your apps so after you wipe and flash a new ROM you can dl appbrain (free from market), and then reinstall all your apps, bad thing is I have not figured out how to do it all at once, and had to install each app individually.

Okay I think I get it, but what's the difference between flashing from the rom manager and boring up the clockworkmod?
Also, can I install the rom directly to my sd card?

Yes, you can dl the rom directly onto your sd card, I boot into cwm so that I can do everything manually and make sure it gets done (its just my preference you don't have to do this). Rom manager makes it easier, you can just select flash rom frm sd card, find the .zip file, it give you the option to backup and wipe and then boots into cwm to finish. Most roms, kernels and themes that I have looked at say wipe 3 times before flashing, that is the other reason I don't use rom manager, because it only gives you the option to wipe once.

Okay so the froyo rom doesn't require a wipe which is nice. Last question, do I need to have the usb plugged into my device as well as a computer? Thanks so much!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
For a froyo rom I am not sure, everything that I read said youj need to use odin to flash the dk17 modem and pit, I haven't done that, but you will need a computer and usb to do that. I'm not sure about the rest, a look at the first post of the various froyo roms should tell you how to do that, I think the viper rom had some good details if I remember. Take a look there in the developers forum and see what you find, let me know how it all turns out

So I rooted and switched ROM's many times on my MT3g, and now that i'm trying it on my MT4g, I'm having hella trouble.
So I got to S=off and its perarooted now, with ClockworkMod Recovery image: 3.0.2.4. I tried to update the Kernel to KB-Kernel-2.4.8-108-CFS-SV... put my phone with the stock ROM into a boot loop, so i restored it. Tried to update the Kernel then immediately install CM-7.0.0... again put it into a boot loop, and had to restore. What am i missing here? Should be partitioning like with my MT3g? Should i be wiping? Is there something else I should be installing?

That's your problem. You can't flash a kernel before the ROM, because the ROM's standard kernel immediately overwrites it. Try wiping all 3 items in the recovery menu, flash CM7, and then let it boot. Once CM7 is stable, try flashing your kernel. Just make sure it is compatible.
Sweet, thanks. Hopefully it works.

Wipe factory data
Wipe catche
Then go into advanced wipe dalvik
Should take 30 secs max to wipe, 5 mins max to install and reboot
Then flash your Rom and reboot. Once its rebooted then try flashing the kernel. There is no reason that won't work assuming you do have s-off

If what Mark said doesn't work, I'd look to a corrupt recovery image, or more likely a bad download or SD card.
Aww... I'd be hella sad if I had a bad sdcard. My problem was that I wasn't wiping the correct things, but now thanks to you great people I finally can flash again! Thanks!

Glad you got it working. If Mark or I have helped you, maybe you could hit the thanks button.
Make sure when you do a kernel you wipe cache and than davlvik and than flash the first time kernel and than repeat the process and than flash your desired kernel.

If your S off then just fastboot it or if you are not S off use unrevoked. S off and fastbooting is the fastest way and easiest.

And downgrading recovery won't solve that bug. But upgrading solves. Better to flash the latest 4.x recovery and use a secondary 2.x recovery from rom manager.

thanks for the file, was wondering if this would work, if i make a backup of my current rom and then install the new recovery and then restore the backup, so in effect the only thing changed is the recovery or would that not work?
EDIT: and also when i rename the zip that ive downloaded from the link, it needs to be capitals doesnt it, ie PC49IMG.zip and not whatever the name is when it is downloaded
It will work. Nandroid backup and restore will not be recovery specific.
And rename the file to PC49IMG.ZIP, it is not case sensitive. So you can use either all capitals or all small letters. But the sdcard must be fat32.

You dont GET it from anywhere..but you can always create one using the CWM recovery..
What to do:
1. reboot int recovery by holding the power, volume up and menu buttons together. This will boot you into stock recovery.
2. using volume down, highlight 'apply sdcard:update.zip', then scroll to the CWM recovery zip fileand then select by using the menu button (or where it would be).
3. you should now be in cwm recovery. Depending on which one you are using, the text will either be red or cyan in color. highlight 'backup/restore' using volume keys and select with POWER button.
4. select backup
The back up will start, and will take around 5-10 minutes to complete (depending on how much stuff you have in /data)
5. Once it is done, it will go back to the main cwm menu. Select 'reboot phone now' with power button.
you are done.
This is pretty simple and innocuous.:good:
P.S: HIT THE THANKS BUTTON..this step is mandatory!
