[Q] Non rooted Gingerbread Stock - Custom Revery Which one ??

Hi,
My warranty has just run out on my Nexus One so I've decided to unlock the bootloader.
My Aim is to get from stock non rooted Gingerbread to rooted Gingerbread with busybox, SU, and ultimately being able to boot into ubunto in chroot, I've been reading up on all this for a few days now but just need a small amount of help with Recovery, Gingerbread ROM choice, and the order that thing should be done, by someone who's done this before.
I take it the first thing is to install SDK and get The USB Driver working on PC, its running XP by the way.
Then I unlock the bootloader, !HELP! to do this do I enter hboot or fastboot, before connecting the phone to the PC? I have to copy 3 files somewhere and use ADB and run command for **** OEM unlock, can't remember the exact command, (I've got instructions for this) and then agree to void my warranty etc.
I then find and download the correct custom recovery image and copy this into the tools folder of the SDK. And install (got instructions for this to).
!HELP!
Which custom recovery image should I use? and which Rooted Gingerbread ROM is most popular ?
After installing the custom Recovery can I just flash a custom ROM? I've seen something about SU.zip mentioned, is this necessary?
If I can just flash a custom ROM, I do this by downloading and copying the custom ROM of choice to the root of my SD card. Start phone in recovery mode and install from SD? I then install the google add ons .zip (if required) using the same method.
Sorry for such a long post and so many questions but I can find all the information for what I'd like to achieve but not in one place and nowhere in any chronological order.
Any advice appreciated .

Please read the Wiki, "Root" guides, "Unlock bootloader and install custom ROM" thread. Execute until the point of installing custom ROM.
Look in "Recovery" section for recoveries, install the latest Amon_RA.

Thanks everyone, but this looks like the one for me, going to unlock bootloader now install custom recovery and flash su.zip.
I'll post back with how I went on. Wish me look
A apprehensive newbie ;-)

Flash this as well, otherwise you will lose your custom recovery...

Good show with unlocking the bootloader, it's the best way.
However... looking at your flag, you're in the UK... this means your phone is still in warranty, as we get 24 months.

Nooooo

My understanding was 12 months but, your probably right. I've unlocked the bootloader now and fortunately my N1 is in good condition, funtioning correctly ( well at least for now, I'll have to cross that bridge if and when I get to it )
Getting on to custom recovery, I realised something wasn't quite right after my first attempt. I installed custom recovery but without su.zip on my SD card. I managed after rebooting my PC to complete the custom recovery with su.zip on the SD card and was successful in that I've got SU on my N1. However I am quite sure I do need to fix something with the recovery, can someone explain what method or how I do this now. I've unlocked the bootloader, I am rooted with gingerbread but with a dodgy recovery.
Or do I do exactly the same as I did with su.zip and push recovery from ADB and flash from SD card, making sure that fix-recovery.zip is indeed on the SD card.
Hope this makes sence?
Any help appreciated.

After I unlocked my n1 I used rom manager for everything else, first flashing clockwork mod, then selecting a stable cm 7 build and flashing that, since then I've done everything through recovery, flashing custom kernels and nightlie builds, I'm currently using cm7 rc4 highly recommend rover theme too!

I've got ROM Manager installed and if I want to try anything it tells me I have to flash clockwork mod recovery, I was unsure if It was safe to do this after using a completely different recovery image to get where I am now.
Sorry for being such a paranoid newbie, but we all got to start somewhere ;-)

I think CM7 rc4 is next, I do want to get Linux up and running though, even if it's in a virtual environment (chroot). and deffinately would like to check some nice themes out, I've not even looked at themes yet, I suppose it's quite easy after unlocking bootloader, installing custom recovery then flashing su.zip though. But still any pointers where to start my quest wouldn't go a miss ;-)

Recovery
its safe to let rom manager flash clockwork,ive done it

I heared about amonRA but it seemed like clockworkmod was more commonly used so I went for that, but yeah it's fine to flash a new recovery, just remember that whilst it's rare things can go wrong, it's YOUR fault not anyone's here regardless of the advice you may get here if your phone gets bricked or screwed up.
That said I'm still new to this but I'm learning as I'm going, just remember to backup your phone using rom manager before doing anything major so that you can always recover your phone/rom.
I started out hacking my nokia 5800 so was keen to have a go with the android platform.

Question about CWM vs TWRP

I am real new to the KindleFire community but so far loving my Kfire. I see in slot of posts they say to use TWRP to install or update a ROM. Since I have CWM installed can I use it instead are they interchangeable for installing files?
Hope that make sense.
Thanks
Rod

most people are taking about twrp because it was the first recovery for the kf
cwm is quite new for the kf
you can use both to install roms ...

Cwm is able to be updated by current developers. Twrp looks cool, but just needs to be updated. If someone updates the reboot wrappers it'd be a winner. But I do like and prefer cwm

Is there or link or how-to to swtich from TWRP to CWM? Does CWM have all the features as TWRP? I have been using TWRP since I rooted the KF, have used it to back up, flash new roms to try out, flash back to my backup. CWM does all this, just dosn't have the nice CWM interface?

The easiest way is to use THIS method, just be sure to unzip the file on your Kindle rather than on a computer or it may not work correctly. The only difference I've noticed between CWM and TWRP is that CWM does not compress the backup so the file is a lot bigger, my backups used to be in the low 500mb range and now they are in the low 800's.

Any particular reason to migrate to CWM? I have TWRP from the first day ant it doing a job very well. So, did CWM have any new features?

Development should be the main reason imo I think the interface looks way better. I got annoyed by the flickering backlight with twrp. It does all the same things, but cwm looks better. Plus before I switched, twrp wouldn't flash roms or gapps all the time, it would get stuck and I would have to reboot

For me there was not a reason to use TWRP as I have been using CWM for the last several years on smartphones and was more comfortable with it. I also read several articles where people had issues with TWRP so with as much problems as I was having trying to root my kindle because of USB driver I wanted to stick with something I know. So I thought it best to stick with and old friend I was used too. Not saying one is better than the other I just like CWM better for me and think it gives me more options to perform operations on my phone and kindle.

How have the pros and cons changed with the intro of TWRP 2.1? I am currently using CWM touch but prefer the TWRP interface, but don't want to sacrifice any features.

all the reboot option in twrp are still broken so Cwm is still the way to go and mabe im ocd but i like haveing Cwm on my phone and tablet plus you dont have to worry about accidenty hiting reboot to recovery and being in a boot loop

different versions of CWM touch?
I just switched from CWM touch (DooMLorD) v1.0 Final to v5.0.2.7-kf1.5 I was wondering what the differences are? I tried the Change UI color feature, but it doesn't seem to work, just stays red. is there something I'm missing? and what else was changed?

its just cleaned up. not sure why it wont change colors, works fine on my device I tested all the colors when I posted the screen shots.

[HOW TO] Cyanogenmod 10 on N8010 [HOW TO]

**needs root
*************I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES*******************
Hello guys,
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, CREATE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE
I've been trying to flash the N8013 CM10 rom onto my N8010 for weeks and I finally figured it out how to do it.
Firstly when I tried it with CWM recovery it gave me Status 7 error. 'asserts failed' or something.
Then today, luckily I thought of getting rid of CWM recovery and replacing it with TWRP recovery.. And then I flashed the N8013 rom via TWRP recovery and woah! it was successful!
First you will need to download the TWRP recovey from : http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/p4noterf/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-p4notewifi.tar.md5
Place this file in your sdcard (either external or internal)
Then using Odin on PC or Mobile Odin app in android, flash the recovery md5.
For PC Odin, Select PDA and choose the file. (crossed it out because Odin for PC fails to flash the TWRP md5)
For Mobile Odin, Press Recovery and choose the file.
Once completed, it will reboot into recovery and TWRP recovery will load.
Touch on Install and a file browser will appear, simply choose the file and flash it. Remember to wipe dalvik cache and cache afterwards.
You will need to download the JB Gapps from : http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip and flash that too in order to get the Google apps.
S Note and samsung features will be lost.
There is a possibility of getting back some of the 'S-features' like the snote, splanner. and also peeltab app
I got all the stock apks, reply on the thread if needed any of it.

Is everything working after flashing this ie. camera, hardware acceleration?

I've had CM 10 for the N8013 running on my N8010 for awhile now. And I flashed it with CWM Recovery.
First I wiped cache partitions, dalvik cache. Factory reset (I was coming from a Miui ROM), then went into advanced settings and did a system and data format.
Flashed the CM ROM with CWM and no problems.
I use CWM everyday for the nightly updates and have never had a problem.
But all phones seem to run a little differently and it might depend on what ROM you were on before.
Just my input.

I installed TWRP on n8010 using dd method. That was the only possibility for me.
openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-p4notewif.img
Download the above file. Using adb shell or terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/filenam.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!

I'm curious about this statement. From my understanding the Peel remote doesn't work because the IR blaster drivers were never released so CM10 doesn't have them. Plus don't all of the "S Features" use the Touchwiz framework, which also isn't present in CM10?
Have you tested these claims yet? Just curious, not trying to say you haven't or couldn't possibly do it.
If anyone has any skill porting apps that require touchwiz to work then we might have a glimmer of hope. Personally i'd love to be able to use the stock handwriting recognition keyboard with CM10.

Some of the samsung features are quite useful. Also this CM10 seems to have GPU performance dropped significantly.

Use Mobile ODIN

Hello,
I checked this out for you and found it does not flash with odin for PC.
Use Mobile Odin app in android, flash the recovery md5.
1. Download the Mobile ODIN app for android and install it
2. Grant root permissions and select 'Recovery' in the options and browse and select the recovery md5
3. Flash it !
It will be successfull... im very sure of this...

Im sorry if I said it in a wrong way.

So I took the libs for the S features from the samsung stock firmware and the snote apk. I placed the libs in the lib folder of the system and apk in the system app Which shouldve installed the snote app with force. I also tried adb push , and tried installing using terminal emulator. It showed as if it installed but when I restarted, it was not there.

First of all I have to say I MISS THE SAMSUNG S FEATURES AND THE MULTITASKING
Anyway, I love the CM10 keyboard, its better than the samsung one because its easier to type with two hands (personal xp)
Camera was fixed in the latest ones.Gallery app was a bit buggy but it seems likes they fixed it.
No IR blaster support.
Screen reconizes the S pen magnet (proved in PS Touch). Though there is not 'Hovering Icon' toggle in the settings.
Didnt manage to force install the Sfeautures.
No samsungs 'true multitasking' like no overscreen apps or anything
CM is decent, clean and smoother than samsungs firmware but it lacks all the goodies mentioned above. Im not sure if CM will have support for them.
I backed up both my CM and Samsung firmware, so I restore back and fourth between CM and Samsung whenever I need snotes and bla bla
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this will be not a issue if there is a dual boot rom kernel was made ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks hiruna! It wasn't that you said it in the wrong way. I was genuinely curious if you managed to get some of the S features working.
While it kind of sucks that for the time being we can't use S note on CM10, there are a few workarounds. I personally like Papyrus for note taking, and i've started to enjoy using the OverSkreen Browser, and since it's a floating browser i can set it up over half the screen.
Thanks for giving it a try and reporting back!

Thanks for the info on the apps I will try the apps you mentioned above on CM10. Currently I'm using Samsung Firmware. Just waiting on this tablet to get into more devs' hands and hopefully it will be famous and more and more roms and support will be available.

Then flash the nightly through twrp
Then flash jb apps
Then reboot
It did take a bit to load (in the cm boot logo) when i flashed the rom first but after that its fine.
Dont restore ur apps or data from stock. It wont work.

I've flashed the 8013 cm10.1 on my note 10.1 with cwm without a problem. Personally I don't like it no offense to the developers but it lacks a lot of stuff and the trade off isn't worth it. Them only good thing that 4.2 offers its multi user. Not to mention the lack of proper gpu performance

[VIDEO] Idiot's Guide - How to Install CM10 on the HP Touchpad

This is my FINAL VERSION of my Idiots Guide for the HP Touchpad. Now that a stable enough version of CM10 is available, I finally created a guide for you.
Here are links to the files you will need:
CM10 03/04/2012 Build
GAPPS 10/11/2012
ACMEInstaller3
Moboot 3.8
Anything else that you might need, you'll find on http://www.reverendkyle.com

Thanks for the video. It came just in time as I just purchased a used TP that had an older version of android ICS already on it and I wanted to upgrade but seeing as how this is the first device I have sort of inherited already rooted, it is hard to just jump in and know everything that I would have learned from the beginning like i did with my previous phones.
Anyways, I did everything you said except I used the newest AOKP rom. But my tp is still booting to the older version of android that I had on it. Any ideas? Feel free to pm me if you prefer that.

If the AOKP ROM is using a unique uImage file, then you may see two different entries on your moboot screen for two different Android builds.
What does your moboot menu have in it?

Maybe your install failed. Try downloading and flashing it again. If you're trying AOKP JB, you should wipe both /data and dalvik cache to avoid a boot loop!
If using AcmeInstaller3 remember to rename the ROM with ”update-” at the beginning so that it looks like update-AOKPJB_UnOfficial.zip

I believe it was the "update-" thing that was keeping it from updating. I followed another video tutorial which provided files that had the "update" in front of them and it worked.
I haven't tried yet but now that it worked will the regular method of wiping and flashing through recovery work? (Like, if I want to try out different JB Roms) Are there any files that need to be in a particular place for the recovery method to work? I tried that method first and it would never take, would always revert back to the original version. Don't know if, because I just jumped in and haven't been here from the beginning, I am just missing a necessary step that is hardly even talked about anymore.

Love your work Rev! Thank you again for everything that you do!
Update went like clockwork, unfortunately I can't seem to get the camera to work (not a terrible loss, but I was sorta excited to see it actually working with this release).

I can attest to the improved battery life on this cm10 build. Amazingly, it holds battery life when it's sleeping now.

Thank you so much for taking the time in making the video for us. Your instructions are easy to follow, hard for anyone to mess up.

Hi, I have CM9 running on my TP. With the latest release, the camera works great. But before updating it to CM10, I'd like to know about the issues currently in this build.
Thanks.

Don't go for external mirrors unless some recognized developer suggests them. Best will be to wait for goo.im to come up again, being a prime site, it won't be down for long.

The goo servers do appear to go down on occasion. They always come back up a bit later.

Problem with installing GAPPS using ACMEInstaller3
Excellent tutorial for an idiot like me. Thanks for again for the guide! Question:
I followed the instructions step by step and was able to get CM10 installed successfully. However, I wasn't able to get GAPPS installed using this method. From researching I understand sometimes there is a problem installing GAPPS through ACMEInstaller3 and one can simply get GAPPS installed through CWM Recovery. However, I would like to use/have TWRP instead so is there a way to get GAPPS installed properly through ACMEInstaller3 and then I can install TWRP through GooManager?
Alternatively, is there a way to install GAPPS without using CWM Recovery?
Or, I guess I can install CWM Recovery first, then install TWRP Recovery, then remove CWM Recovery while keeping TWRP and not go back to the stock Recovery? I tried to search the forums and wasn't able to find instructions on removing CWM Recovery WHILE still keeping CM10 and not go back to the Stock recovery.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

@reverendkjr - appreciate your videos. they're awesome. definitely helped me (and several other friends) many times and saved a ton of time. super easy to follow.

Yes you can install TWRP normally, flash gapps in CWM then install goomanager app, open and click the 3 dot menu and install custom recovery script then it will install it
Now using a root file manager go to the directory called boot and delete uimage.cwm.img (this is from memory but still should be correct

[Q] Installed kernel, phone is f*cked up...

Hey guys,
I've known about this whole modding thingy going on for android phones, and i've decided to give it a shot myself.
I took a backup of everything (copied everything.. didn't use any app for that. not too smart of me..)
Anyway,
I looked around and decided to install Hells Core kernel on my phone, along with Cyanogen Mod.
So after installing the SDK on my computer, unlocking the phone, rooting the phone with SuperSU and Clockwork Mod,
I got to installing the kernel.
I put it on my phone, rebooted into recovery mode, reset all data (dalvik cache and all..)
then I installed the kernel from a zip file I put on the phone, and it all went smoothly.
However, when I reboot my phone - it's all messed up!
The screen is all half yellow, and half is just black - not even text.
In the yellow part, you can hardly tell that it's the first welcome screen - because the text is too big to fit the screen.
Anyway, the whole phone is fk3d up.
I just wanna put it back to the original stock kernel and rom...
How do I do that now?
Thanks a lot guys..
This is urgent >_<

I haven't got CM on my phone,
and I can't connect it to the computer because it needs get past the welcome screen - which I can't click on any buttons!
****EDIT ****
nvm, I managed to do it
I used android toolkit, and now the computer can access the phone's internal memory.
Thanks!
***** EDIT #2 ******
Nop, doesn't work yet...
when I copy the other kernels zip's, everything seems okay
but when I reboot my nexus to install from the recovery mode, the zip are corrupted - and when I access from my computer it shows they're 0 bytes.
as if nothing was copied..
What can I do ???
***** EDIT #3 ******
Well, managed to get the phone to work!
Not getting anywhere near Hellscore now..
What I did was run 'install zip from sideload', and then from the pc I used 'adb sideload <FRANCOROCKS>.zip', and that worked
Phone's now up and running, installing my apps again.. lol
Scared to change the ROM though.. after all this >_<

Because you did all this the wrong way. Learn and study before flashing anything, it's not about some simple zip flash. that simple zip file can brick your phone if flashed without knowledge.
hells core kernal is not a CM based kernal that's why you got broken screen. there is a separate thread for cm based kernals. do flash a custom rom like Mahdi slimkat etc they offer great features but only after fully understanding what you are doing

Well, I flashed the kernel before I put the ROM, so this happened with HC kernel on stock ROM.
:X

you probably flashed the wrong version of the kernel

You did get the CM Version of Hells Core, right?
This happens to me all the time, just reflash the Roms .zip and you'll be fine.

Sorry to say that, but from your comments it's obvious that you messed up with wrong kernel's version and is not a fault of this specific kernel.
Also the zero kb downloads show bad downloads on your side again.
