Place the bootanimation.zip in /system/media or /system/local depending of the ROM.
You of course need to have a rooted ROM for that and a root file explorer.

Maybe you can read this :
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
If you want just to use adb, just copy the sdk on your computer and add only the USB drivers (in other components) and install them.

Use Titanium backup for this. Need to be rooted.
Your files stored in /sdcard ou in /mnt/external_sdcard are not modified, unless you format /data.

Install CWM recovery and do a backup from the recovery.
You just have to read a few threads here to get all the details.
Start with this one :

This is a modified OpenRecovery (Skrilaz_CZ) based on Androidiani Recovery (89luca89&Azhad) with some enhanced features for Milestone XT720.
Features:
Main OR menu streamlined
Most Androidiani menu options have been moved into OR > Other Utilities
Add ext3/4 support (thanks fjfalcon)
Added SD Card Utility (OR > SD Card Utility)
Added preference for display brightness in OR (OR > Settings > Brightness)
Added utility to reinstall orbootstrap (OR > "Other Utilities" > "Re-install orbootstrap")
New sh hijack binary will boot to fastboot bootloader if volume-down is held (OR > "Other Utilities" > "Re-install orbootstrap" to enable). This should be compatible with all ROMs and stock.
nandroid: removed ability to backup partitions that always fail (this means "Backup All" works now)
Fixed OR > "Wipe Dalvik Cache" bugs (previous OR/AOR don't clear them all)
Added OR > "Power Off" (helpful when phone is being stupid about charging)
Minor update to sdcard-info.txt output
XT720 basebands added (OR > Change Basebands)
Please note that although most Androidiani menu options have been included in the Other Utilities menu item, that does *not* mean I have tested them on XT720.
Installation:
Download link: http://www.multiupload.com/J8Q15SHP4S
Root the phone
Download OpenRecovery-XT720-01.zip (it contains /sdcard/OpenRecovery and /sdcard/OpenRecovery.zip)
Extract OpenRecovery-XT720-01.zip onto the SD card. This will create a /sdcard/OpenRecovery directory and an /sdcard/OpenRecovery.zip file.
Make sure you're not in USB access mode and install the bootstrap (using adb or Terminal):
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/OpenRecovery/orbootstrap/install_script.sh /tmp
chmod 755 /tmp/install_script.sh
/tmp/install_script.sh STR
Upgrading from OpenRecovery:
Download link: http://www.multiupload.com/J8Q15SHP4S
Make a nandroid and backup your sdcard
Download OpenRecovery-XT720-01.zip (it contains /sdcard/OpenRecovery and /sdcard/OpenRecovery.zip)
Rename the old /sdcard/OpenRecovery folder to /sdcard/OpenRecovery.bak
Extract OpenRecovery-XT720-01.zip onto the SD card. This will create a new /sdcard/OpenRecovery directory.
Optional: Move/copy all files from /sdcard/OpenRecovery.bak/updates to the new /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates directory
Optional: Reboot into OR. Select "OR" > "Other Utilities" > "Re-install orbootstrap"

Is this the same update that was posted in other topics?
No, it's not the same, its the next version. The biggest difference is this one merges Androidiani (the previous one was based on vanilla OpenRecovery). Maybe I should bold the new stuff.
Sorry about this but what does Reinstalling the Bootstrap mean? Don't we already use that for getting in the bootloader? Is it is it gets broken somehow?

If the bootloader gets broken, you won't be in OpenRecovery
Anyway, I see two reasons to use it. (1) to make 100% sure you can get back to OpenRecovery after you've flashed something experimental (say a Milestone A853 update-based ROM) or (2) you want to upgrade your bootstrap to the new version that lets you hold volume-down to boot directly into the fastboot bootloader. (i.e. in the new version volume-up==OpenRecovery, volume-down==fastboot)
Edit: that reminds me... I should make a version of the bootstrap that fixes volume-down to boot OR on Milestone XT720 running Motoroi 50R...

Very very nice... thx man
Ok so I may have run into a glitch. Hopefully it is just mine, but it has been awhile since I had updated many of the apps from the market and let me tell ya, there was a shopping list. Haha get it. Anyways, I updated them all and decided it has also been some time since I had made a backup as well.
So I went in and "tried" to make a backup of the usuals (system, data, cust, cache, cdrom and sd). I probably tried 3 or 4 times and it never backed anything up. I even deleted the openrecovery folder and re-unzipped and replaced it and tried maybe another 3 times. It would just hang on the system dumping part for 15+mins (which is way too long).
I rebooted and put the original MZor back in there (the one w/o all the AOR stuff in it-for reference). Booted into recovery and boom, made the full backup in normal time. I ran checks on sd and sd-ext several times throughout and never a problem.
Has anyone else encountered this? I had been using this since it first came out and some of the utilites and all worked fine, but now that I think of it, hadnt tried to make a back up until last night.
***Side question: Since the beginning when I first learned how to make a backup, I read that you should backup system, data, cust, cache, cdrom and sd(if neccessary). My question is why do we and does it matter if we back up the cust, cache and cdrom parts? Wouldn't these get repopulated anyways at first boot? Would everything work if we just restored system, data and sd (again if neccessary)

@Mioze7Ae
can you please compile a standalone APK installer version of the new open recovery for XT720?
after reading the instructions i noticed, it requires an existing open recovery already installed to apply the above updates

I tried but my re-compiled version of the OpenRecovery.apk just FC'd.
Thanks for this Mioze7Ae, this is really sweet!
Am I missing out something here? I don't seem to be able to get the additional OR menu to convert to EXT4. I flashed back to Singapore 2.1 and have rooted. Removed the previous Open Recovery folder but where do I get the OpenRecovery.apk? Do I use back the previous version?
You can use Dexter's OpenRecovery.apk to install Open Recovery & then follow Mioze7Ae's instructions in the OP to update it.
Not sure what effect it even has, but the set timezone seems to be backwards ... Selecting GMT-7 runs /bin/timezone.sh GMT+7 and selecting GMT+7 runs /bin/timezone.sh GMT-7
Hey guys, hope you can provide me with a clearer instruction. I have done exactly as per the instructions and now when I boot into recovery, I don't see the extra option to convert to EXT4. The only things I see in the menu is:
Motorola MILESTONE XT720 Open Recovery
Version 1.46
Created by Skrilax_CZ
Use Volume Up/Down to highlight:
Camera_Mode key to select.
Main Menu
Reboot Menu
Settings
USB Mass Storage Mode
Nandroid
Application Menu
Run Script
Apply Update
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
What am I doing wrong? The phone is still running 2.1 update 1 but it's rooted.
It looks like you're running the original OpenRecovery. You need to replace the OpenRecovery folder on the sdcard with the version from the OpenRecovery-XT720-01.zip.
I think I can see how the instructions about renaming might be confusing so I tweaked the phrasing a little bit.
Thanks for the reply Mioze7Ae but I followed exactly as your instructions. Here's what I've done:
-Flashed singapore_STR_U2_01.1E.0
-Rooted with SuperOneClick
-Extracted and transferred to SD the OpenRecovery folder, OpenRecovery.zip and the original OpenRecovery.apk file.
-Ran OpenRecovery.apk
-Install Recovery System. Install Sucess.
-Recovery Boot and that's where it boots into the old OR.
It's the same if I use the OpenRecovery folder provided by hellmonger in The XT720 XDA Special Final RC2 "Hellmonger Edition"

I think it only affects the naming of the nandroid directories, but I'll give it a look. Nice catch!

Hi
Can anyone help with upgrading my P1000 to ICS?
I have read it can be done via flash and sd card but I am far from confident doing that.
I am happy using Odin and have upgraded to gingerbread ok.
Can anyone tell me is it now possible to install ICS easily just using Odin?
Any help would be fantastic
Go the Dev section.
Look through the ICS threads.
They are mostly available as zip files to flash using Clockworkmod recovery (CWM).
CWM is available as part of most non-stock ROMs - i.e., Overcome, Hyperdroid, etc.
Some features don't work, like camera and lockscreen. The Devs are doing great work, but it's not complete yet.
Good luck.
Hello I am using right now the last ICS ROM posted in vthe forum. Is fantastic and the people here is mking a great work. All you can imagine is working pretty well. I had tried anothers, like for example for my galaxy note but none is working as good as the one I am referring to. You can have a real experience of ICS in the Galaxy Tab through this ROM, smooth, fast and expect more as it is a workjg in process ROM. I advise you to try it. BTW I have set the dpi to 120 for me is the best one.
Regards. Sorry for the mistyping.
Enviado desde mi GT-P1000 usando XDA Premium HD app
I have been able to upgrade my 2.3.3 to 4.0.3 without any problems.
I first read the Overcome Guide as it was very helpful in learning how to do this. Then I obtained a copy of the gb5 rom as it has the ClockworkMod for the tab included.
I installed the GB5 rom using Odin 3.17 using the files included in the GB5 file. Rebooted and then downloaded the Humberos ICS files. (There are three files from Humberos.) Copy the Humberos files into the internal SD. Reboot into receovery and found the menu changed where you can flash any rom you want.
I flashed the rom + kernel and then the Google apps file.
The results are:
Model number: GT-P1000
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 SGT7-ICS-TE4M #20120307
CyanogenMod: 9.0.0-RC0-GalaxyTab-HumberOS
Build Date: Qua Mar 7 01:17:36 BRT 2012
Build Nunber CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120307
Everything on my tab is working great. I find new features such as panoramic photos great, the network and bluetooth work flawlessly, both cameras are working (front one is glitchy but back one ok).
I am very happy to have upgraded but took about one month to make sure I read about the process first and obtained the necessary files.
@Repoman: Both cameras work for you? With stock camera app?

Hi zalanz. I am able to help you with this. I will try to explain as easy as i can.
Note : I will not be responsible for any damage happen to your tab. Make sure you follow the steps carefully as it may brick your tab. Make sure you already have backup every important documents before using this tutorial guide. IMPORTANT!! make sure the backup files is NOT in your SD Card/Phone.
Upgrading Gingerbread 2.3.3 to Cyanogenmod7 2.3.6
1. You will need to download 3 important files.
a. MSVCP100.dll from Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 runtimes and get it at
[microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=A7B7A05E-6DE6-4D3A-A423-37BF0912DB84&displaylang=en]
b. Heimdall flashing program. [glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/]
[Filename] heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32.zip [extract files].
c. Download cyanogenmod 7 firmware files [ tcm7beta-2012-02-19.zip ] by clicking this link gtab7.nexus-lab.com/cm7sgt/tc...2012-02-19.zip alternatively if you cannot find the link you always can get it a forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931857
2. Run Heimdall and follow this youtube tutorial [youtube.com/watch?v=CAK9i_ISeqM ]
3. Finish! Now you should be having your P1000 tab running on Cyanogenmod7 2.3.6 [rooted]
Cyanogenmod7 2.3.6 to Cyanogenmod9 a.k.a Humber OS [ Ice cream Sandwich 4.0]
1. You will need to download 3 important files from humberos.com.br/p/android-ics.html
a. CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120307.zip Rom files
b. GApps .zip
c. P1000.zip Kernal files
2. You will need to extract files from CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120307.zip and p1000.zip into a separate folder. Rename the folder to CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120307 and another folder name KERNEL. After extract from both, choose zImage filename from folder p1000 copy files and paste into CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120307 [extracted files] folder. Doing this will only replace the zImage filename into newer one.
3. Copy all the 3 important files into your External SD card.
4. Run the CWM Recovery Mode [pwr button + volume up]
5. Choose to install your files from SD CARD
6. Follow these steps
How to install
1. Copy all files (ROM+Kernel+GApps) to sdcard
2. Recovery Mode
3. Install ROM (don't restart)
4. For All Models - Install Kernel (don't needs bluetooth fix - don't restart yet)
5. Install GApps (after install, restart)
Finish! Now you should be having your P1000 tab running on Cyanogenmod9 a.k.a Humber OS [ Ice cream Sandwich 4.0] [rooted]
OR
Other methods of flashing your ROM
1. you must have rom with ext4 support before flashing with ics cm9, ie: overcome,
2. go to cwm,wipe user datat, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
3. pick install from sdcard, locate where you put cm9 rom file
4. after flashing rom, do not reboot, you must flashing the kernel, then install gapps,reboot
p/s: forgive me for my bad english. This guide I made it myself based on my research at google, xda-developer, Humber OS, all the files need to be download you can find it at the website given. Just dont forget to add www at front of the link. I repeat again I will not be responsible for any damage happen to your tab. Make sure you follow the steps carefully as it may brick your tab. Make sure you already have backup every important documents before using this tutorial guide. IMPORTANT!! make sure the backup files is NOT in your SD Card/Phone.
Thank you for the replies.
I am not confident flashing from sd card.
Will it be possible just using Odin?
I am happy using that and successfully upgrafed to gingerbread and root with it.
If not guess will stick with what I have as just too iffy for me to do other.
You will be missing out a lot.
For many years we have been flashing roms and radios and kernels using recovery.
I first use AmonRa recovery in my HTC Magic to backup and flash roms from sdcard, never once connecting the phone to my pc during those 3yrs.
Same with my Gtab. Only when I restock to Overcome ROM I use Odin.
Try to step out of your comfort zone.
Theoretically you can't brick your tab by flashing rom, unless you flash a bad bootloader.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA
This actually is easier than using Odin. Besides, the ICS images seem to come in this form at the moment. You can even flash a kernel this way. The only drawback is that this is only possible with a an enhanced recovery mode that will install any Zip from any location, so you need Odin the first time to flash a kernel with it included. After that you put the files on the phone or on the SD card, boot to Recovery mode, and install the Zip.
can anyone advise? i want to install a custom rom and root my tf300t
i have unlocked it but now i need to install the mod twrp but apparently i need a pc. is there another way? via .apk file or something...

Yes you can do that, all you need is a "terminal emulator" app, there are plenty available just search for them. Depending on the custom ROM some already provide updated gapps so be sure to use the right one and not just the one given in tools like goomanager.
I would recommend the following.
1. Backup your apps + data using Titanium Backup
2. Boot into recovery and create a backup of your system
3. Wipe cache/davlik/data + system
4. be aware of the right "flashing order" FIRST the ROM file, then add more zips and choose gapps
5. enjoy your custom ROM

To install a custom ROM(OS) on your HTC DESIRE 820

Click to collapse
To install a custom ROM on your HTC DESIRE 820, here’s a brief tutorial guide:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1. You will need to first download the custom ROM you want to install. These ROMs come in a “zip” file format (so DO NOT UNZIP them) and usually 1 large file around 200MB to 1GB. Some ROMs may require you to install multiple files.
You can download these zip files straight to your phone or use your computer to download (as downloading on your computer may be more stable/effective/faster) then copy over to your phone’s storage.
Step 1. Once ROM zip files are downloaded/copied to your phone, get into TWRP RECOVERY MODE BY PRESSING volume down+power button together for about 3 seconds to enter bootloader menu.Choose “RECOVERY” using Volume Down key then hit Power button to enter TWRP recovery.
Before installing a ROM, you will want to do a “data wipe/factory reset” by hitting the “Wipe” button. This will erase all your settings, apps, and app data (but not personal photos/videos on your storage). I highly recommend using Titanium Backup app to backup your apps, SMS Backup & Restore app to backup your SMS text messages, and use an online service such as GMail or Facebook to backup your contacts. Most online service providers like GMail or Facebook offer built-in ability to auto backup/restore your contacts.
*Optional – You can try installing a custom ROM without wipe, but this is considered risky and dangerous as sometimes the ROM may not boot. You can make a backup ROM if you are going to try this route so you can restore easily. Also, this can keep your settings, apps, and app data without restoring them.
Step 2. Once wipe is done (or you have decided not to wipe but have backup ROM), simply use the “Install” option in main menu and find the ROM zip file you need to install. If there’s multiple files, simple install them one by one until you are done.
Step 3. Once done installing custom ROM, reboot and cross your fingers your phone will boot. If your phone boots within 5-10 minutes you should be good to go. If not, you can try re-installing ROM, especially if you did not wipe, try re-installing after wiping.
To copy ROM file into SD card:
-------------------------------------
Boot TWRP, then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your HTC DESIRE 820 to your computer with usb debugging enabled.
Then download fastboot.zip and unzip, you probably will find a new directory called fastboot under your Downloads directory.
Copy the ROM you want to install to the fastboot folder.
Open a command prompt then type:
cd Downloads\fastboot
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/.
Replace ROM.zip with the ROM filename you copied earlier to fastboot folder.
This will copy your ROM to the internal storage so once it’s done, just use TWRP to install ROM.
To backup the ROM after installing:
----------------------------------------------
Backing up a ROM will backup everything on your phone including your settings, apps, app data, kernel, and the whole ROM. It will not backup your personal photos or videos stored in your internal storage but it will backup everything else.
This can be handy later down the road your HTC DESIRE 820 malfunctions. For example, if your phone stops booting for some reason (due to bad custom ROMs or apps), you can easily restore your phone to a previous state by restoring your ROM.
If you “still” haven’t made a backup ROM, I highly suggest you to follow this tutorial to make a backup ROM.
Step 1. Make sure “Fast boot” is checked OFF under Settings->Power.
Step 2. Power off your HTC DESIRE 820. Then hold down Volume Down and Power buttons together for about 3 seconds to enter bootloader menu.
Step 3. Choose “RECOVERY” using Volume Down key then hit Power button to enter TWRP recovery.
Step 4. Once inside TWRP recovery, you can easily choose “Backup” or “Restore” to backup or restore ROM, it’s that simple.
Step 5. If you are backing up ROM, make sure “Boot”, “Data”, and “System” are checked and swipe to start backup. Backup process should take about 5-10 minutes or longer depending on how many apps you’ve installed on your phone.
Backups are usually large between 1-5GB depending on how many apps you’ve installed. They are stored in your internal storage under TWRP/BACKUP directory. You can easily save space by moving these files to your computer and move them back to the same location when you need to restore your phone.
Step 6. When restoring ROM, you will find your backups organized by folders. You can name your folders while backing up otherwise they will be stored with the timestamp of the time you backed them up.

It just the general rule of all companies to void warranty if the user root its device and same goes for HTC also, atleast in my country (India).
Do you have any rom for desire 820u dual sim?

To install a custom ROM on your HTC DESIRE 820, here’s a brief tutorial guide:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1. You will need to first download the custom ROM you want to install. These ROMs come in a “zip” file format (so DO NOT UNZIP them) and usually 1 large file around 200MB to 1GB. Some ROMs may require you to install multiple files.
You can download these zip files straight to your phone or use your computer to download (as downloading on your computer may be more stable/effective/faster) then copy over to your phone’s storage.
Step 1. Once ROM zip files are downloaded/copied to your phone, get into TWRP RECOVERY MODE BY PRESSING volume down+power button together for about 3 seconds to enter bootloader menu.Choose “RECOVERY” using Volume Down key then hit Power button to enter TWRP recovery.
Before installing a ROM, you will want to do a “data wipe/factory reset” by hitting the “Wipe” button. This will erase all your settings, apps, and app data (but not personal photos/videos on your storage). I highly recommend using Titanium Backup app to backup your apps, SMS Backup & Restore app to backup your SMS text messages, and use an online service such as GMail or Facebook to backup your contacts. Most online service providers like GMail or Facebook offer built-in ability to auto backup/restore your contacts.
*Optional – You can try installing a custom ROM without wipe, but this is considered risky and dangerous as sometimes the ROM may not boot. You can make a backup ROM if you are going to try this route so you can restore easily. Also, this can keep your settings, apps, and app data without restoring them.
Step 2. Once wipe is done (or you have decided not to wipe but have backup ROM), simply use the “Install” option in main menu and find the ROM zip file you need to install. If there’s multiple files, simple install them one by one until you are done.
Step 3. Once done installing custom ROM, reboot and cross your fingers your phone will boot. If your phone boots within 5-10 minutes you should be good to go. If not, you can try re-installing ROM, especially if you did not wipe, try re-installing after wiping.
To copy ROM file into SD card:
-------------------------------------
Boot TWRP, then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your HTC DESIRE 820 to your computer with usb debugging enabled.
Then download fastboot.zip and unzip, you probably will find a new directory called fastboot under your Downloads directory.
Copy the ROM you want to install to the fastboot folder.
Open a command prompt then type:
cd Downloads\fastboot
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/.
Replace ROM.zip with the ROM filename you copied earlier to fastboot folder.
This will copy your ROM to the internal storage so once it’s done, just use TWRP to install ROM.
To backup the ROM after installing:
----------------------------------------------
Backing up a ROM will backup everything on your phone including your settings, apps, app data, kernel, and the whole ROM. It will not backup your personal photos or videos stored in your internal storage but it will backup everything else.
This can be handy later down the road your HTC DESIRE 820 malfunctions. For example, if your phone stops booting for some reason (due to bad custom ROMs or apps), you can easily restore your phone to a previous state by restoring your ROM.
If you “still” haven’t made a backup ROM, I highly suggest you to follow this tutorial to make a backup ROM.

Unable to download twrp recovery.zip please help me..
Be carefull of links which state there is 5.0 available for our device
drsobhan -
Please refrain from using or downloading ROM or any other files from other websites. The website you listed did not look genuine.
- HTC should provide us the with an update and source code will be available
- Cynaogen or other third party would provide us with an update
- XDA senior developers can provide link
One CM launches the rom there could be other providers like MIUI etc... but till the time please refrain from such websites
Refer to the following side for all builds supported by CM
