Not sure where this goes( probably a simple question)

OK I got my hd2 at a place that would install android and also get my hd2 working on simple mobile at the same time, and so far it has been great but I'm having some issues with the battery life report (it never resets how long it has been unplugged) and also a newer version of my the Tom that I am on has been released. Be I want to move to either that or cyanogen mod 7. My issue is how exactly do I flash a different ron and after I do it how do I get it working right again on simple mobile?
Kinda a noob but I have rooted and installed custom roms on all of my families devices including a evolution, a Droid global and a Samsung intercept?

Well first off, if you payed someone to install android I suggest you do and demand your money back as its free software. Secondly, to install a new rom you have to either use the DAT.exe that comes with your rom, or if you have a ZIP file, put that on your SD card and boot into clockwork recovery and flash it that way. Simple mobile is just a network provider so your phone should still work perfectly. However, as im not american (and where I live all providers use the same signals) I dont really know.

who says he paid for android? he paid for the persons time to install android by the sounds of it
you should read the guides on how to flash etc plenty of information there

Well my isssue was making sure it would work properly on simple ( although they do use T-Mobiles network)
So nobody here knows what to do?
Shouldn't it just be having the right similar and changing a few settings?

...thats what they are saying, read the stickies and use the search function. All you need todo is boot into MAGDLR and flash a new ROM from the DAT.exe file that most NAND builds of Android come with. Simple Mobile is just your carrier, and you will need to enter in their APN settings once you flash a new ROM in order to get data but other than that your phone should work fine.

is there a way to manually download el30- sprint?

OK, a long time ago, I did a manual update on my EPIC 4g (sprint). I am thinking that is why I am unable to download the update through the setting tab a week after the update came out. I know everyone has it now. I have no idea what update I did on my phone last year... but I havnt been able to get firmware updates from sprint since them. I'd kinda like to have this one.
Does anyone know of a link that has this update, I can load to my SD card and execute on the phone? I just want to be able to reboot to the new ROM, I dont want to have to hook up to a PC and load it that way. I need a rookie, easy way to do this.
Thanks!!!

You most likely have either rooted or removed at least 1 pre-installed application. That would cause the EL30 update not to install. You can find the .zip file in both the General and Development forums.
If you have rooted or removed any pre-installed apps, then the stock .zip file won't install for you. You would need to make sure you're on a custom kernel for your current build (most likely EC05 or EI22), get CWM 5 installed and then install one of the near stock roms in the Dev forum.

Yea, it was so long ago, I dont know if it is rooted or not? I have been away from this stuff for quite a while and have completely lost touch. CW5? is that an app that I can install directly from the SD card? Also, does the dev forum have ROM's that I can install from SD as well? - sorry for all the questions!

Yes... you would know it if you clicked on it. Just don't start a new thread there. Read, and it'll all make sense.

Go to your Settings > About Phone to see what your baseband, kernel and OS build are.
Yes the dev forum has kernels and roms available for you to flash. Google search "QBKing77 youtube channel" to get how-to videos for doing everything.
Baseband = your modem version. This is completely independent of your kernel and OS and can be a different version from those two.
Kernel & OS build = these must match in build #. Example would be EC05, EI22 and EL30. Some custom kernel's do not include the build # on the About Phone screen, but stock would.
CWM = ClockworkMod Recovery. This is a custom recovery tool that allows you to flash custom roms, kernels, mods and themes.
Easiest way to see if you're rooted is to look for the application Superuser in your application list. If it's there, then you're most likely rooted.

is there a way to unroot this handset and allow the sprint update to come thru? If not, what is the name of a good (stock) gingerbread ROM? There are a ton of them over on the dev side and honestly I dont want to mess with he clockwork stuff. Im kinda pinched for time.
I did find the CWM5 zip - i assume i can run that directly from the SD card, then apply the new ROM.

no superuser... know that I think back, I dont think I did root it. But I dont know why else the carrier update wont work?

ok, I just looked @ the current version(s).
BASEBAND: d700.0.55.DK28
KERNAL:2.6.32.9
BUILD: FROYO.DK28
so, what is going to be the easiest way to get this to EL30?
I am almost done bothering you guys - I promise!

Odining the el30 stock package and flashing an ec05 modem and then flashing the ec05 to el30 delta
Ill offer to do it for you in a little over 15 minutes if you'd like via teamviewer

The modem is if I want to tether - correct? If I dont want to tether, then I dont have to flash the modem portion ?

No the modem is what allows for reciveing signal
Usually the most updated modem allows for better signal
Serisouly don't wanna take me up on the offer? You could just sit back let me d it for you then again if your one of those DIY'S its not very hard if you know what your doing

Yes but these things can be backed up with mybackup from the market her settings not really but contacts sms call logs etc, can be backed up just make sure you don't use the stock cable that you have a good cable and the computer will recognise it
If you would like me to do it from her computer if she has one and her cable isn't stock then I could . Just pm if you need any help.

[Q] Omega Rom Updating Help On G4 i9500

Hello There,
Being new to the site I often read, follow and apply and keep quiet but i really need help on this situation please. Iv seen that Omega has released a few new roms in short succession and im due for a rom upgrade (on omega v5 still). Anyways i was just wondering i see that Omega Pro is avaliable on play store and was wonder what is the quickest way to keep up to these rom updates without loosing my data all the time?
My typical process of getting updates is to:
1. Downlaod Rom
2. Clear Cache and Data
3. Install Rom
4. Install Titanium
5. Restore From Titanium All My Apps.
But i was wondering is there methods to shortcut the restoring if im staying on the same rom? I know people say you can just flash and not clean cache and data but i want to confirm this before as to how nightlies are delivered in the cynogen architecture OTA?
Regrads in advance, i have tried searching (maybe didnt use the correct terminologies) and thought id ask a question to get a specific answer i need .
Regards
Soprono

I also have the same doubt and registered with xda just to ask this..
Let me elaborate..
I am using currently Omega rom v7..
now the v8 is launched..
Do i have to download whole of it again? (around 1.5 GB)

I haven't had any problem with just flashing the new rom on top without clearing data or cache (I think the rom clears the cache for you)
And yes to update you need to download the entire rom again, though if you look at the change log, the changes aren't that much.
However I do want to know the change log for each Samsung update

i9505 back to out-of-the-box condition

Bought an unlocked Galaxy S4 from Tesco a couple of days ago and decided I'd try a couple of custom roms out pretty much as soon as I'd got it. I rooted it fine, installed cwm and thought I'd successfully backed up the rom it came with. When I tried to install the most updated stable version of CyanogenMod the phone wouldn't boot up at all. I believe I'd done it properly, as in wiping Dalvik cache and everything before and after installing (not sure if this is correct now), so I was a bit confused. Then I thought the best thing to do would be to restore the original rom but it said it couldn't find any files? In the end I managed to get a nightly version of cyanogen working but I really want the original Samsung version back on so I can properly try out the features. I've tried installing Samsung's official firmware for my device but it won't successfully install (it comes up with install aborted on cwm). Has anyone got any ideas on how I can get it working again? I'm considering taking it back to Tesco to get it replaced but now I have a working and rooted rom installed, it's unlikely that they'll take it.

my suggestions?
flash a stock ROM, and do a clean up (factory reset & clear cache) from stock recovery. This is the simple way.
my guess (if I'm wrong, correct me), you come back from CM/AOSP to TW, and it start to be like this.

Well im not sure if I had rooted it properly but I did all that I downloaded the stock hk rom to try see if thag will get it from booting in recover I know thats the easy fix. My big issue are all the other problems I had before I even tried to root the phone

stock HK firmware ?
Is your device is N9005 HK/Taiwan version ?
if not, you can't just use the HK/Taiwan firmware onto your N9005.

Its the sm-n9005 the international model

if yours is the international model of 32GB N9005, it is strongly suggested not to flash HK/Taiwan firmware.
This 2 firmware is basically only for HK/TW N9005, which is earlier was came in 16GB. Means the partition is different from the 32GB.
after that, they come up with 32GB, but... I might be wrong (correct me if I do), I read somewhere the partitioning also different.
So, Why don't u flash other international firmware ?
Have you tried other than HK/Taiwan firmware ?

I believe so as well. Regardless either 16 or 32gb HK fw doesn't play well with other regions n9005

If you haven't flash stock rom then just flash it first to see if the issue persists. Factory reset and wipe cache from stock recovery after done odin flashing.
If issues persist, root you phone again, install custom recovery sych as TWRP, use DrKetan's imei backup tool here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698639,
make a nandroid backup if your current rom, wipe system/data/cache(don't wipe internal or external storage if you save your nandroid backup and imei backup in any of them else you will lost it. You will never know when they would be handy if you lost your imei in any way). Then flash again stock with odin.
My friend's note3 has terrible lag after upgrade to KitKat. It took a few minutes after reboot just to get unlocked so I helped him to reflash using odin but after 3 different firmwares flashed still not get resolved. I did the same. No more issue after that.
