[Q] Need help with Flashing roms on mt4g.

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
I am not new to development or flashing Roms. However all my experience has been with the galaxy s lineup.
My friend has a mytouch 4g and I want to root his phone and install a custom rom for him.
I was wondering what you guys use to root, and also what you use to flash. Can I just install cwm from clockwork and install them that way? Or do I need something else?
Thanks!

The best thing to do is root using the method from the Unlockr. Which i have in my signature "how to root with root.sh". Its the same method. That should work for you. If it doesn't you might want to check the "post your eMMC serial number" thread in the general section. There is alot of valuable information in that thread regarding phones do not root using root.sh.
If you just want to force root the phone regardless of it being a good or bad eMMC you can use the ./gfree method.
as far as how to flash ROMs, you can just download Clockwork ROM Manager and flash the Clockwork Recovery image, do a back up, wipe, then flash the ROM.

Thanks. So clockwork works without any modifications. On the vibrant it worked just by flashing the recovery. But with The gs4g Krylon360 had to work long and hard to come up with a recovery and it involves replacing a system/ file. Lol
Anyways. Thanks for the advice. I'm not familiar with that way of rooting but I will look it up.

Yea, the MyTouch 4G doesn't have any goofy work arounds once you get s/off.
The MyTouch4G has a security protocol that will prevent us from perma-rooting our phones. You need to manually turn the security protocol off. That is why you see us asking newbs if their "s" is on or off (s-on/s-off). i have links for both in my signature.

You're quick to reply!
Yea I've heard about that with the g2. Thanks for the help. I can't see your signature in the app. Ill check it out when i get home.
Thanks a ton.

Actually I work for T-Mobile. I'm getting the sensation 4g on Monday! So I need to get used to HTC anyway.
And I just got gingerbread on my gs4g! Lol. And I'm about to switch.

[Q]Samsung Rom assistance required!

Evenings!
My girlfriend recently purchased a Galaxy 3 and I've noticed its running android 2.1, when Samsung mobile shows its capable of 2.2. I'm interested in flashing one of the samfirmware roms but I'm completely new to the Samsung way of doing things (my own phone is a HTC Desire running oxygen 2.1.3) .
Kies doesn't offer any updates, so I know I'm going to need to do this a different way, but I'm not entirely sure which rom to go with.
The handsets current details are as follows:
PDA: I5800XXJG7
PHONE: I5800XXJG3
CSC: I5800XXJG5
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I recommend XWJPF. It's good and stable. After flashing you can root and deodex phone and install some new theme

Hello
You can use my rom if you want. Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123
I am glad to help you if you find any problem.

Been having a look at custom roms and I'm definitely interested in your rom, but its my girlfriends phone just want to get her up to date for now
If she lets me play with it a bit further I will definitely start with your rom
If I'm sticking to stock roms, does it matter which one I go for? And is there anything I need to specifically do to avoid bricking the phone ?
I have the ops file and the update, I'll get the one suggested above also but I need to wipe and install using Odin in download mode? God this seems complicated.. lol

The only chance to brick your phone is using a samsung's rom with bootloaders (~1% chance for bricking). Using any custom rom, you will be fine. Try my rom. She will like it
The flashing process is only complicated the first time. With 3-4 flashes you will do it easily.

Will your rom flash alright over her firmware?

I gave her the choice and she wanted stock Samsung first, so I flashed jpm since a lot of custom roms seem to be based on that. Sorry dude!
If she changes her mind I'll choose yours first

Looking for the stock Froyo rom...

I consider myself a search guru, but man finding the right Froyo rom for my Epic has become a nightmare. I just traded my HTC EVO 3D for an Epic plus a few $$$$, but it has a custom rom installed. I like being rooted, but with stock roms.
I plan to go back to the latest firmware updated, then do the one touch root process, but must have the stock rom.
I truly appreciate any help out there

Since you are a Giants fan, I will find it for you. I think I have the stock EB13 ROM that will ask you to update to EC05 immediately after first boot if you want me to grab that one for you..
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Go to the Development forum and search for either EC05Plus ROM or ReRFS ROM. Both are mostly stock and prerooted. If you really want stock then go to the top of that forum in the stickies to the one on how to fix a semi-bricked Epic. That has the full stock tar and Odin links then you can root that.

Yeah, unfortunately I have to get to my PC to get the stock version I have but Kenny is right..ReRFS is a good way to go. EC05 Plus is another good choice

EC03 to EC07 (Miunia Beta-4)
Looking at Miunia Beta-4 EC07. Just wanted to make sure of the process in going from EC03 to this version...all I have to do is flash this via Odin and I will be able to keep all my data, etc..? Do I need to clear caches via CWM?
And of course my next silly question...when flashing in Odin, this means putting the phone in download mode and using the PDA option ?
Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

Yes, put phone in download mode. Clear cache, system, data, dbdata, and the dalvik.
Load miunia into the pda section of Odin, and flash. This will not update the modem however, you will have to flash the modem seperate. If you give me a few hours I will make a flashable modem image, otherwise flash the modem first, then flash miunia. Sorry for any errors, I'm tweekin out at the gym, to much preworkout supps.

Is there a link to the most updated version of this ROM and did you ever make the flashable file for the modem

I can't speak to whether or not Pattielipp ever made a flashable modem, but the rom is in both the dev section and on his miunia thread. If no flashable was made, the easiest way to get the proper modem is to flash the ec07.tar from the dev section in odin. If you are on any build other than ec07, DO NOT CHECK AUTO REBOOT. Once you flash it, put your phone directly back into download mode and flash miunia.

[Q] In need of guidance!!

I recently bought a epic 4g and I got a guy to flash it to cricket for me.
I have had this phone for a while now and I feel like I'm in need of downloading roms onto it.
Before I do so I'm sure someone has already gone through this so ijust want to be on the safe sie that after I get a custom rom eveything will work. Now I know I can root but I need to know more.
1. If I clockwork mod it and what not will my service till work?
2. After I custom rom it will I have to put my service again?
Someone please respond and explain to me what I can and can not do or wht to have caution with. Please make sure though.

Everything will work as long as the ROM you flash supports it. Just read the ROM's bug list to be sure what you need is working..

So flashing it will work no problem, if I want ics anything bad there?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

There shouldn't be..the ROM doesn't interfere with the hardware that connects to your service provider that I am aware of..if it's for the Epic4G, it's for the Epic4G...lol just make a nandroid backup with CWM when you get it installed.

If your wanting ics.. cm9.. then there is an alternative carrier fix that needs to be applied for mms to work but yes it should work just fine on a new ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Not necessarily, afaik AOSP roms like ics do not play nicely with data from other carriers. You might want to change the title of your post to "will cricket wireless work on ics"

I used the CM7 ROM from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495754 to flash my brother's epic... for the most part it works, but he occasionally has some issues getting/sending MMS and (claims) he has to go into airplane mode to get internet to work once in a while.
I can confirm that MMS send/receive does work, it just doesn't seem to be 100% reliable. It could be the fact that he's dropped his phone numerous times, enough to crack the screen.

I'm thinking of just getting cm7, but I'm having issues rooting with odin. My computer doest wanna detect my phone.

Did you install the correct drivers? Do you have a better cable than stock. Have you tried other usb ports. =]
