Hello everybody.
I got a milestone 2 some months ago and I had a working cyanogenmod 7 on it until I decided to try MIUI ROM. I was on a downgraded gingerbread kernel (thanks to endless7) and I tried to reflash an ITA 2.3.4 sbf. It didn't work. Then I was desperate and decided to try to flash a CH gingerbread kernel... This doesn't seem to work, even if I try to flash the chinese SBF.
Could anyone help me??? Thanks in advance!
up! still need a working gingerbread kernel to flash with RSD...thanks guys
Up! Nobody going to help? Please!
Now you know what "low activity devices" mean
Honestly, I did not understand what you did. Lemme try paraphrasing and see if I understand what your problem is.
You were on CM7. You mean Endless7 version I suppose coz that is the one with GB kernel. You decided to try MIUI. This is where I lost you. Were you able to downgrade, or you are just saying that your kernel is downgrade-able???
Second thing that I don't quite understand is what you mean that flashing with SBF does not seem to work. Did the flash process fail or the process was successful but you were not able to boot up your phone?? If it is the latter, wiping data from android recovery should help you boot up your device.
hi everyone right now im on an errand for a friend of mine, i've been searching and i haven't found something that can serve me, i have found that i need to upgrade to froyo to install cm9, well in fact my friend will be fine if i just can put gb on his defy so if it is a real mess to install ics on this phone i think i will stick to cm 7.2 or 7 it doesnt matter i just need it to work fine and that he is able to install some apps that my firend isnt able to, i havent done root so if someone provide me with a good way to do it i would apreciate it a lot.
Does not mind whether you want CM7 or CM9 - first you should upgrade to froyo, best way through moto RSDLite program.
Upgrading to froyo will let you always downgrade to froyo again and you will have a way to any proper CM7 or CM9.
All info u can find here and here
U have to root, install sndInint, check whether u have green or red lens and choose any proper CM7 or CM9 to flash
Always do all steps as in threads - then u will not get into trouble
Hi everyone, hope you are ok
I want to change my sister's android, she has a droid pro , from Argentina 2.3.6 no root, and was coming here to watch the roms and stuff ( I'm not a noob in this, i have an lg gt540 and i have done everything with it lol)
But i'm kinda confused since it seems that roms are not for any countries...
So my question is this
what's the best cm7 rom out there? or the best aosp out there? I don't want cm9 or ics because i think it's not well developed for this phone yet, but maybe cm7 or aosp ginger is ok
please help me with that! and obviously the first step will be root, i tried z4root and universal click root with no success so any help with that too!
and if everything goes wrong, i always can turn back to default with rsd lite and the argentinian xml isn't it? thanks in advance!
pd: if anyone know if changing your android system in Argentina voids the warranty, please let me know!
I tried CM9 last night, and it was gorgeous! The only issue, my phone calls sounded like they were coming from the back of the phone, instead of through the speaker. So i decided to try dettofatto's rom....and after fiddling and fiddling for hours, finally realized how to get CDMA enabled (im on Verizon)
Its nice. Its almost stock, but its crazy fast....
Thread Closed, best rom threads are not allowed on XDA.
Thanks

hi,
im very fresh with all the ROMs things, and my english is not so well, i hope someone can help me.
i got Defy (not +) with CM10 on it.
it works very slow, and everyone told me its because of the ROM.
i want to change the ROM and i read that CM7.2 is the most stable for Defy.
now, my question is: How do i do that? please provide as many details as possible i dont know nothing!!
well i do know that my Defy is Rooted (if thats how you say that)
thank you very much im lost

I started few weeks ago on the same stage....

You can wipe all from stock recovery, then reboot and flash cm7.zip
Hello.
First I'd like to say that i haven't ever tried anything like rooting my phone or custom roms so that you know what you're dealing with
Lately I've been bored with my s8 plus(SM-G955F). Was even considering buying a different phone but then i remembered reading about rooting and custom roms so i thought i might give it a try.
I've been reading a bit about rooting and roms but all the information and methods can be a little overwhelming for someone like me who doesn't really know what he's doing. Basically i need help.
While looking for custom rom i'd like to try i settled on renovate ice and i have some questions.
Do i need to root before flashing a custom rom or does the rom come rooted already?
From what i understand i have to start with installing TWRP with odin but what then? root or rom?
Basically if anyone would be kind enough to provide some links with steps i need to take to install that rom and root my device and not mess it up i'd be grateful.
In case you need it I'm on the latest OTA i've received.
build number: R16NW.G955FXXU1CRD7

Hello there , you do not need to root your to flash a custom rom . All you need is to backup your data for you own safety and flash TWRP recovery through Odin probram . Renovate ice is most famous and stable rom you can try . It has same UI as the stock rom . Little changes only you might wont see me . If you want to change UI you should for another rom . Also root comes with the rom inbuild, specificaly renovate ice has two options to chose, magisk or supersu . Personally i prefer Magisk before through this app ' you can' modify your system, its like xposed framework.

So I installed TWRP like in the video.
Everything seemed to work i had a clean install of stock ore with twrp. When i tried to boot into twrp i had the "only official binaries" bootloop. So i flashed a bootloader and i was stuck on galaxy s8+ screen. Went into download mode to flash stock firmware but can't do anything. Stuck in download mode and can't flash anything now... How do i get out of it?
Edit:
Ok. Found a way to flash the bootloader. now I'm back to "only official binaries" bootloop.
Edit 2:
Ok managed to get everything to work. At least it appears so for now.
Had to flash nougat firmware then installed twrp, rom and root and it worked.
I thought something went wrong because it was very laggy but after rebooting it seems okay. We'll see how it goes from here.
Gonna google it and try to fix it but if anyone has any ideas i'd be grateful
