I need help flashing my phone to the original settings. When the atrix came out I rooted my phone and modified the settings to allow for tethering without a plan. Now I would like to upgrade the operating system so I can enjoy some new features. There are so many things that have come out since I dont know what guide I should follow to do this. If some one could help me out I would appreciate it. I'm on leave for two weeks, after that I don't have internet access to do any thing.
If there is anything that you need to help let me know.
Android version
2.2.1
System version
4.1.26.mb860.att.en.US
Model #
mb860
baseband version
n_01.77.05p
kernal version
2.6.32.9
build #
olyfr_u4_1.2.6
I would suggest visiting the beginners/n00b guide found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 and then decide what to do.

Hello i got refered over to this site from androidforums.com
First of all i see alot of great info on here but im still a noob to this whole root process. Im not very familiar with terms and would like for someone to help me understand different roms and what is best. Im still running the stock 1.5 firmware. My baseband version is 1.04.01.09.21 software version 1.56.651.2
So ive read there is easy way to root your phone with a program you can download on your phone. can someone help me out with this. TIA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._CDMA.png#Rooting_.2F_Un-rooting_.2F_Flashing - has all links you might need to root and flash a ROM.
As you are on Sense and a older radio, I'll suggest you to upgrade to later version of sense - something 2.1 and then root it, so you don't have to worry about flashing a radio, later. But, that's your call.
Whatever you do, read all the information properly... so you don't have issues.

I bought a epic 4g from a friend of mine who works on phones and roots and all this when he likes. I am a person who takes a while to be okay with this. This phone is already rooted and has a costume ROM on it. and I have a few question about this and how this all works. I also bought this phone because its on Boost Mobile.
My Epic right now:
Model #:

Firmware Version:

Hardware version:

Lately I have been getting a "Android Update MR4 EC05 system update".
Is it okay for me to do this update?
Will it affect my service?
Where can I find info about this ROM?
I am noob, I have no knowledge about this and thats why I am coming here to learn.
Could someone point me in the right direction to learn about rooting, NAND Protection (I have a EVO 4G and im looking to unlock it), Just general information about all this.
U rgetting a mesage to upgrade to froyo ec05? If yes do not do it yet. Just wait for noobl to upgrade his rom to this version of froyo and falsh it then. If you try to upgrade now you will most likely not be able to since some system and pre installed apps might have been removed from your rom and without them u r not able to upgrade. Look in the development section of this rom for updates. And feel free post your questions here or u can even pm me. I will try to help as much as I can althught I'm not very fimilar with this specefic rom.

Hey all:
I just got a G Tablet a couple of weeks back and I put Vegan 5.1 on it. I don't have a smart phone but am getting one. I think the LG GT540 Optimus is the one I am going with. I have taken a quick look at the how to's for this phone and I noticed a how to for something called Eclaire 2.1 and a different thread for "custom 2.1/2.2/2.3". Which one should I go with. Do you know if either would allow me to tether with my G tab? thanks in advance
If you're really interested in tethering, better you buy Optimus One (P500) as it has tethering support in its stock ROM itself. Considering GT540, Mur4ik has already done with Wifi tethering. If you won't mind waiting for perfectly working tethering, then you can have GT540.
But I won't recommend it if you are just interested in tethering. Rather buy any phone that has Official 2.2/2.3 support.
Some recommendations like LG Optimus One, HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy 3 (they both are upgradeable to 2.2).
thank you..
Can't really find your 3 recommendations at a similar price point as the GT540. Are you saying if i put the 2.1 eclaire and root the phone, tethering isn't currently working?
if you want a cheap android phone get the gt540 and upgrade it to the latest CM7 build that has WiFi tether support enabled and if you do get it make a swap partition on the sd card because i am making a softmod rom and it will have a few tweaks included for performance speed and battery
Ok. Just bought it. Partitioned many internal and external drives using windows but never done an sd through android. I'm sure its not so bad. Are the instructions for that cm7 on the forums some where? Thnx for the reply
yeah look at the how to thread in the dev section. it will help you mod your phone.

I read somewhere that you should upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2, then to 2.3. Is this true or can i go from 2.1 to 2.3 directly?
Also. I see a video on how to install cm7. What would be the prereqs, install fastboot and root the phone or?
If you want I can remote control your PC tomorrow to upgrade your phone for you?
appreciate it!!! but I actually get more enjoyment learning and performing this stuff than I do actually using the phone. Let me give it a try, if i can't I'll let you know. Haven't got the phone yet either. It will be shipped over the next few days or so
no problem just take the time to study the guides while the phone is being shipped.

Been reading some and there is a lot of info. I have a question. Can I just follow the instructions provided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12898827&postcount=3 , going to 2.1, 2.2 and so on(can i go to CM7 directly)?
or is there anything else needed to be done too, like rooting etc?
all you need to do is flash a fastboot 2.1 rom then boot into fastboot and direct flash to cm7 if you want.

Any rom that supports tethering should do.
I'd recommend 2.1 with Quarx kernel

Hey All: Got the phone yesterday. I think I installed everything last night. Had some issues, though I bricked the phone a few times.
There is one weird thing. When I shutdown the phone. I press power to restart, it does this quick vibrate, then does nothing for like 30 secs, this is where i thought he phone was messed, but then it starts up. not sure what's up?
One more quick thing, how do you get into recovery mode, cause I think i need to do one of those factory resets after install right? thanx
Hello,
Just upgraded from a droid eris, and I really want to try one of the newer CyanogenMods or MIUI roms. My phone is completely stock non rooted.
Hardware version I500.04 Firmware Version 2.2.2 Baseband version S:i500.04V.ED05 Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 Build Number SCH-I500.ED05. Now on my eris it was super simple just boot to recovery and add any rom you like, no need to do anything else.
I had a really bad experience with a Droid X, where I bricked the phone while trying to change roms. So I want to see if anyone can direct me to good tutorial step by step since I'm really a newbie on this. Video tutorial would be great. I really don't want to brick my phone again, and sometimes you miss a step and your done fore. I don't know anything about kernels, but it looks like you have to change the kernel before you add any of these newer roms. So any help would be really appreciated.
thanks
Read all the stickies in the Dev section and the q and a, but I'll send you some links with good reading material...as long as you always use the PDA button in Odin and never the phone button, and always make sure anything you flash is for Verizon fascinate only not Telus or a different galaxy s model and you will never truly brick your phone!

Hi there,
I have a G1 with the following stats:
Model number: HTC Dream
Firmware: 1.6
Baseband version: 62.52S.20.18H_2.22.20.23
Kernel: 2.6.29.6 [email protected] )
Build number: dream-user 1.6 DRC83 14721 ota-rel-keys
Production team: hiapk.com Ver 3.121_g1_ionS
I would like to upgrade to Android 2.2. but I didn't find any threads or tutorials on how to proceed. I've only found some threads which deal with different RC numbers and I'm afraid if I procede using these tutorials with my actual rc number (83) I might have problems.
Could please somebody help me upgrading my G1?
thanx a lot!
the best way is still to downgrade, exploit the phone then upgrade. I suggest looking at cyanogens wiki for basic root and upgrade, although there are lots of threads all over xda on how to do this search around a bit and I'm sure your questions have already been answered.
after searching google "cyanogen wiki root g1"
follow the steps there
then search the developers forum for ezterrys 2708+ update if you want the newest roms

If its rooted then I assume you have a custom recovery where you can just flash a new ROM, if not then get a custom recovery. All info on how to are in the stickies
