I am trying to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521276 <-- that rom on my fascinate and i have a question what is cwm fixed for cm7? and how do i flash it?
refer to section 4 of my guide here in the general section...you cant miss it!
check the guide as stated if you cant get it after that I wouldnt even mess around with it.
I would read the guide, and then try to read as much from the threads as you can so you can get an idea of the terminology, and what to do if you brick your phone.

I could really use some ones help me root my phone and get 2.2 froyo I would really appreciate if some one can help me please. Can help one reply and show me how
Do you want root + custom rom, or just stock froyo.
I will tell you that stock froyo leaves a LOT to be desired and the custom ROMs are incredibly better.
Help me out whats best for me to do so I wont be able to crash my phone lol thank you for replying
Honestly, you are better off rooting on your stock 2.1, read the noob guide.... will add more shortly.
After you read that, you will note all you need to do is move update.zip and flash it (in the guide).
Boom, you have root... now download Rom Manager, flash CWR, and create a backup (also in the guide).
Now that you have a backup of your system, backup your apps (Titanium Backup app), in the guide.
Now, download a custom ROM and flash it with CWR..... I recommend Trigger V2.5. You can go to the dev section and find it, or click the link in my signature to watch a video if you like. If on your phone best to watch the video embedded in his thread so the annotations show up.
there is no quick way of doing this
u need to do some reading
in s15274n click on the "My noob guide" read it, then read the "My Vibrant Guide",
then if u have questions about really specific things, people will help you out.
read lots before u start flashing roms, because it is risky.
hope this helps, i am new to the android world too and been reading lots lately, my phone should be here soon though
Ok I will root right now and reply when I am done but where is the noob guid?
my signature, or the sticky in the Q&A section.
Ok checking. I have been reading lots also bc I don't wanna mess up my from that's why I am asking for help you know lol
s15274n noob guide has all you need, rooting is pretty simple and there are A LOT of videos showing step by step for rooting, flashing a rom, updating a theme etc.... so welcome, after a couple of weeks you will be so happy with the phone it will blow your mind
Thank you I'll be back guys i need to help my brother with some stuff. Right now the first I'm doing is rooting so i have the undate.zip in the internal right gonnd turn off my phone and do it
I read those guides posted by s15274n and others countless times before i rooted, then I read them again. Read them until there is no question in your mind as to what your doing. Read the rom flashing guides as well, as you'll more than likley want to put a custom on on after you've gained root. Thanks to s15274n and the other members who have taken the time to make easy to follow guides and tutorials.
Ok I root it now download a Rom right. But what is Trigger V2.5.
I'm looking for the Trigger V2.5 but i dont find it I see Trigger V2.0.1
look in the development section of the vibrant forums..anyway..trigger 2.6 got released today..here is the link for the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921453
(click where it says "download trigger 2.6")
hello everybody ..
i been following XDA-Developers for many many times . actually i learn everything for root and flash etc from XDA .. i'm using Overcome Kernel and rom .
My Advice To You before you even go for flash a kernel you must do 1 simple step to avoid bricking your tab cuz trust me i already bricked it many times
but after reading and learning i knew how to do all the steps for flashing a kernel or a rom and after all , trust me it is easy you only have to follow the developer steps
anyways
before you flash a new kernel you must go here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 )
you have to download the bootloader before flashing anything , read the topic and am sure you'll find your way to flash by this topic. any questions don't feel shy to ask i can guide you by my Experience
hope the topic was helpful for the new users
Yeah, just download bootloader checker to check if you bootloader is signed / locked before you update to another custom rom. Anyway, if it is locked, it does not permanent brick your tab. Just restore using odin pit file if anything happen while updating. However the danger to patch your bootloader MAY permanently bricked your tab. Brick means your tab no longer be able to patch but a need to change the motherboard is the only way to restore your tab.

Now that the loki method has come out and people are successfully flashing their ATT SGS4s with custom Loki'd ROMS that are available, can someone please post a step by step guide to help out new people to this whole process? I've read a bunch of different posts and I have a general idea of what to do, but I see that there are specific steps that must be followed, etc, can anyone please help me (and I'm sure many others) flash their first ROM?
As I understand the defacto standard is something like cyanogenmod, but I see other ROMS in the original android section. How do we install these? I understand that there we need to first install something like CWM, then flash the loki'd rom, but a step by step guide would be really useful! Also, setting up LTE after flashing, google apps, etc, seems like theres a lot of information floating around about that. Also, how to recover with Odin or some application in case we mess up?

Yes, strart there, in that same forum, is ALL the info to get you:
Root
Bootloader fix
each thread has detailed instructions, if someone just says do this, you will never learn, if you have questions on a certain item, read, then post in the forum that is giving you the issue. I am not slamming you, it is a good working start.
I've read half of all of the ROM threads in the development forum, and am still unsure of where to go from here, so I am trying to get a direct answer here.
My situation:
VZW G2
Rooted
Stock ROM
VS98011A
TWRP 2.6.3.3 (updated to this version using FreeGee)
I have the OTA popping up constantly and I want to get rid of it by flashing the appropriate ROM.
Can I simply download a ROM and flash it using TWRP? Or am I going to get stuck in one of the many loops I am seeing people post about?
I would love to create a wiki with various starting points for people, but it is so hard to find information here. Searching for one thing leads to an explanation that, while helpful, involves five other steps or topics that one must also research, and I've often found people's step-by-step instructions to be incomplete or have a step that they assume everyone knows but is quite complicated.
THANK YOU to whomever replies, even if it just a link to something helpful, because I will gladly do the reading myself. I just often don't know what these people's starting points are when they are asking questions.
Most of the ROMS I have downloaded have flashing instructions in the OP. All you have to do though is factory reset before flashing, and then flash your ROM + GAPPS and then wipe cache/Dalvik Cache several times and yes you should be good to go
In regards to your wiki idea, I think it is a wonderful one. These forums are terrible for finding concise information. Often it is hard for me to find the information I am looking for.

You don't need to flash a ROM to get rid of the OTA popup. Just root, install Titanium Backup, and freeze the app called "Software Update MUC".
My Recommendation

and Prosper!
* Always make a nandroid backup of stock rooted and move it to the PC * Get familiar with ADB commands * Read threads past the 1st ten posts or last ten posts *Thank those that have helped you * If I can't BRICK it neither can you * Enjoy!
I have been trying for a week to get this pacman aio rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667834 ) to actually work on my Samsung Galaxy S4 SAMSUNG-SGH-1337Z . I don't even know how to install clockworkrecovery on it either ! If someone can please tell me the steps on how to do it and I'll gladly do it.
TL;DR I dont know how to put 4.4 kitkat pacman rom on my s4 and i need to learn how to install clockwork recovery mod onto it too.
Stop what you are doing. You are making really really big mistakes.
The link that you posted is for a different device. It's for the Moto G. If you flash that one your device, chances are you can trow your cellphone into the bin.
Second, you don't have a standard S4, you have one from AT&T. You are in the wrong part of the forum.
I think untill you stop making these basic mistakes, you should stop trying to flash. Browse the correct forum for you device, read and learn. If you keep going this way then you end up with a bricked device.
Go read the threads in this part and learn the basics: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att

No you don't. You need to read how to root, how to install a recovery. Then you can start thinking of flashing roms. Do you know for certain that Pacman is available for your device?

ok i have recovery now which one do i pick in the link i sent
I would pick the latest nightly.
bump
use ATT's CWM or Cricket's TWRP, or even International. Ive tried all of them and they work. The only one that wouldn't stick was ATT's TWRP. it looped into odin mode. Get Cygwin to convert any .img to tar. I'll explain how if you need any help.
