Hi guys,
so afew days ago my pc seemed to just turn off randomly as my phone was charging from it.. my pc still worked ok after some quick tinkering but my phone would no longer boot into the old modaco desire rom i had installed.
I figured it was a good time to find a froyo ROM instead and so i decided to get the eViL NXSense ROM. Last time it was much more easy for me to install since i had just unlocked and it all went smoothly, this time i put the ROM on my phone and tried to flash it and it just doesnt load, it sits on the 4 colored lines :\.
Can some1 help me and guide me how to install this and get it working, i really need my phone up n running.
Thanks in advance.
Link to the ROM i want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290
i dunno. Ive only flashed cyan stuff. Are u running 2.2 or 2.1? Maybe u need to upgrade ur radio? Did you wipe?
+1. Did you wipe?

what problem are you facing? which recovery are you using?
Ok, i did wipe 1st, im using an old recovery which i used when i 1st flashed my old modaco ROM, cant remember what its called but it was up-to-date then.
I discovered i have more problems though. My PC doesnt seem to regocnize my phone, i can move files around using the fastboot fine, but activesync and such doesnt regocnize my phone :\.
How can i fix this since i guess this needs fixing before i can do much else?
:S sorry im a total noob at this rly feel kinda in the deep end.
Hmm.. I am sorry. I don't have any idea about that syncing problem. I hope other member may help you with that.. I am noob too..
Personally, i would start off dealing with the computer issues.
Find a program *win version* called usbdeview. UNINSTALL all drivers related too your phone.
Make sure you have at least the SDK/Tools folder.
Reboot your system.
Connect your phone and reinstall the drivers.
Activesync??? Ummm what's that needed for?? i used too use that app for Motorola phones.
Make sure you have at least the SDK/Tools folder.

When you install the android Software Development Kit (SDK), it should create a folder inside of it that is called "Tools".
For me, it is at C:/android-sdk/Tools. This is the folder that contains the magical fastboot and adb tools that you need to do anything devious with an android device.
Ok, then it seems i don't have it at all.. did a full search and cant find it.. i did format my pc around 3 months ago and dont think i ever really installed anything for my phone since i saw no need for it.
I've downloaded it now from the android website . All unzipped and ready to use.
Hi guys,
first sorry for my bad english.
I have a big problem to face with my N1
I wish to install a custom ROM, so I've rooted my phone and downloaded the Rom Manager apps from Market. I've flashed the clockwork recovery and downloaded the cyanogenmod. So I reboot my phone in fastboot mode, select recovery and now I have a black screen, nothing happens. My phone boot only when I take off the battery, so now I have no Recovery mode in my phone. Someone can help me please ?
My N1 is in FRF91 build, with a Vodafone ROM from France (SFR)
EDIT : I've already tryed to flash the original recovery and AmonRA recovery (1.7.0 and 1.8.0) from my PC but it fails everytime and I have this message => FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
You've opened a new post on this, also...

Ok, so a quick update/ask for more help. Thanks for the advice so far, it has all worked, i uninstalled all drivers, restarted, plugged in my phone and reinstalled the fastboot so now my pc is recognizing my phone at least.. i have the SDK/Tools ready for when i need them. I don't know whats next though, must i flash a new recovery image? if so where can i get this? Or must i 1st update to froyo?
As long as you have root why don't you download rom manager from the market place and use that to flash new roms? It'll update your recovery if needed. It is a well rounded, worth while app.

Update:
I used amon_ra's recovery 1.7.0 and managed to flash the old desire rom i was using before, but as i said.. i want to update to froyo and use eViL's NXSense 1.21.3 ROM, this requires a new Radio and Kernal i believe.
Can some1 please tell me how to install what i need to to use this rom?
here is a link to the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290

I want to install a new ROM, but i need a new kernal and radio, how do i install them?
Which kernel and radio do you currently have, and what do you want to change to?
Have you already tried anything (if so, what problems are you having)?
Here's the radio info:

I have rooted and installed hboot and clockworkmod. Flash clockwork recovery and installed buzz/oc 1.22ghz CM.zip but now my desire hd keeps resetting on the flash screen.

PM me what rom your running etc and ill run through a step by step guide to help you get your DHD working again.
I had the same problem

Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

But i can't place the any roms in my sd card cause my phone can't boot up...
rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??
or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..
Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...
Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

I am a newbie needing some help. I rooted my vibrant months ago to have the ability for wifi tethering. It went flawlessly. I initially wanted to wait for the official update. Since it doesn't seem to be coming any time soon I decided I prefer to install a rom myself. I decided to install cyanogen because I've heard good things. I went to the instructions and was instantly bombarded with technical lingo o did not understand, starting with nandroid backup. Well I have rom manager, I did a full backup of my current rom but I couldn't find it on my sd card. I tried to download black hole from rom manager and it just took me to recovery with no options except the normal ones, at this point I felt over whelmed and gave up. I am wondering if anyone can simplify this for me and recommend the best rom? Thanks!

Unroot and wait for the OTA. 2.2 OTA is out now. Seriously.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I would either do like the previous post advised and get the official update that is out. From everything I am hearing it is self updated (you have to do it) through Samsung mini kies. Tmonews.com covered the issue, and what you had to do. If you dont want to do that, and want to keep it rooted and put a rom on it, PM me and I will give you further directions and my personal opinion about what rom would be good.
Good luck.
I had a similar issue at first with the recovery. Open rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery. After that's complete reboot phone into recovery. It might load the regular recovery, if so, use your volume keys until you get to install packages and then click the power button. After that it should run the clockworkmod recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
No need to unroot, you NEVER need to unroot, at least with this phone, dunno about others.
Do what xdefied said about recovery.
cynogen is if you want a stock google experience. The official 2.2 update is out, download mini kies or full and update. Go with custom roms if you want a slightly modified samsung experience. Once you get clockwork recovery working it'll be a snap, choose file in rom manager and you're done.
P.s. Wrong section

hello everyone,
few days ago i pruchased a new kingston 16g card, and follow the resource bible tried to restore my cell back to stock. i format the sdcard, insert to the slot, and then follow the steps "stock nandroid retore" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845756
everything worked fine, i am sure it was completed, but at the very last step to reboot my phone, it stuck at "mytouch 4g" boot screen, cant reboot into the system, bricked i think? so i tried another thread by using PD15IMG, finally i can back to normal and a clean stock status.
(my phone is s-off, permrooted, oc1.5g)now my question is, why can't i success the nandroid restore? did i do anything wrong or do i need some more roms/files/images on my new sdcard? after this i even tried to backup my own nandroid backups and then run restore via rom manager, but i still got the same results, can't completed nandroid restore, always stuck at mytouch 4g boot screen
sorry for my really bad English, hope u guys can understand me... i just need an answer/method/guide that i can try some more new roms/oc kernels in the future without worry bricking my phone. dont really wnat to go over and over again the PD15IMG, i got scared though...
Thank you for ur help!
You probably flashed recovery version 3.0.0.5 in which you cannot restore your stock ROM with. If you don't have another ROM, you should install a gingerbread ROM such as CM7 and then flash the 3.0.0.6 recovery available in the development thread. Don't worry, your phone is not bricked. If you can turn it on and get into recovery or hboot, it can always be fixed.
I think your problem is that you had the wrong recovery. Flash Drew's 3.0.0.6 zip file to get that recovery and then pick 3.0.0.5 in more recoveries in Rom Manager. Also do your nandroids and restore in Recovery. I never go thru rom manager, it just works better that way for me.
really thank you both for the quick response
i just followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681 ,looks like i completed all the steps, but when i reboot and open rom manger, it still shows current/latest recovery:clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, so idk whether i did it right or not?
anyways, later on i might try either my won nandroid backup/recovery or the stockclean recovery again, then we will know the results...
i really appreciate for ur help!
Yes, when you open up all recoveries in Rom Manager it will still show as 3.0.0.5. If you followed the steps correctly when you flash that one and open up recovery, it will actually be 3.0.0.6 which will show at the top. This version allows you to switch between froyo (2.x) and gingerbread (3.x) based ROMs.

In clckworkmod it will always show 3.0.0.5. Flash the 3.0.0.5 in more recoveries. Then when you go in recovery it will read 3.0.0.6 sounds confusing but its not once you got it. Happy flashing!
one more question
since my software information shows 2.2.1 version, am i on froyo or gingerbread? sry for the stupid question...just cuz i wanna flash an OC kernel but don't know which one should i pick? stock kernel or CM7-Gingerbread kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876848

Me n the wife are getting rid of the HTC Aria's and just ordered 2 motorola atrix's. So far the reviews from most people are they are a good phone. i like the internal memory, ram, dual core. I dont like the HUGE screens, and dont like em small. so these are pretty good. So far from what ive seen, im gonna go with the alien Rom.
I dont like CM7. tried it a few times on the aria to get used to it. but just couldnt.
been trying to see what the difference in retail roms are, gingerbread, etc.
Wondering tho, are you able to backup the original rom before ya flash a custom to it, for the first time?
After install clockworkmod recovery you can nand backup your stock rom.

yeah you're able to backup the roms. you have to root it first so download this:
http://mophoforum.com/the2dcour/RSDLite5.5.rar
then use that program to flash this:
http://diamantephoto.com/IHOP_Bell.rar
then download fastboot and type in devices then take that special code and type in fastboot oem unlock "device code"
then download this http://server1.underpants-gnomes.biz/~romracer/atrix_recovery/recovery-atrix5.img and put it in the same directory as fast. I just renamed it to 1.img lol so i don't have to type out the whole filename
but anyways you type in
fastboot erase recovery then fasboot flash recovery 1.img then after that you'll have and unlocked bl and a custom recovery. then you download the alien rom place it in the main part of the directory you hold down the lower volume button and the power button then go down to android recovery (use the volume up button to pick) and go to backup/restore and backup (use the power button to click)
then you go to wipe/factory reset and then advanced wipe delvik cache, click yes to everything. then go to install zip files from sd card then if you put it in an sd card click that and if you installed it from internal then click that. and after it's done you go to wipe cache partition and advanced then wipe delvik partition. i don't know if you knew how to do any of that but i was just putting it out there. i got the links from the bl unlocker forum btw
lol just about got all that...
so what does flasing that first file actually do.. i cant just flash it, and not know what it does, or how i know it worked etc.
Im pretty sure i can figure it all out, just dont want to brick the thing.
p.s. the first link is dead...
website is gone.

ive never bricked my phone from flashing, and it'll say the status of it and stuff. There's a possibility but i've flashed my phone at least 20 times with defferent roms cause im super picky about all that. but the instructions i posted are a simpler version of what it says in another tutorial. you can find it in developement and its called how to unlock bl.
guyz i need some advice as im currently using optimus 2x but i wanted to switch moto atrix is this a good decision or not and i wanted to know that weather atrix will get ICS update or not plz reply my question
Ok so the phone is rooted. its been a while since i did my aria, I think i need to get Hboot, or fastboot on it, so i can backup the rom..?
If its unlocked and rooted you can download Rom manager and just use the official CWM recovery to nand backup and then flash or after flashing CWM you can download RomRacers modded recovery from the development section, it's what I use just for the little modifications it has, and after Dow loading the CWM flashable zip of RomRacers recovery just reboot into recovery and flash RomRacers recovery. This method will give you RomRacers recovery and it will make Rom Manager think you have CWM installed so you can utilize all it's features. Hope this helps and if you need anything cleared up just let me know.
Link to RomRacer's recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
On each color for the recovery, the first link is the .img only flashable with fastboot like you mentioned and the second one is obviously the .zip CWM flashable update.
