Hi all ,
I am new to android the Nexus One being my first android phone . I Rooted it the other day so now I have the superuser app ect. I would really like to install a custom rom like (MoDaCo custom ROM 1.2) but being a complete beginner I cannot find a easy guide to show me how to do this. (yes I have tried googleing it) If anyone could write one or link me to one it would be much appreciated .

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You have a really outdated recovery so get the latest Amon_RA recovery for you device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 (This link is for magics but you can find the device that you need in the first post)
I would recommend MLIGN Hero ROMs, KingKlick Hero ROM, or SenseHero. There is a little thing called searching so please do.
ok so i did some searching and found that using the 'better terminal emulator' is a faster way of flashing the recovery image but i have to pay for it....so is there another way? (by the way sorry for the questions i feel bad making you explain so much)
someonee.?
You can just use terminal emulator (free market download) to flash the recovery, but personally, I just do it through fastboot (if you have an engineering SPL you can too). No you don't need to change your recovery to change roms, but it's good to have the latest version (as of now, Amon Ra's 1.6.2 is the newest, check the link posted by UberMario).
ook so checked out some sites, it showed different ways on how to install MLIGN 3.3 so i just gave up and it was confusing. but i want to try this fast test 3.0 out instead. so i used sapping to put my phone back to 1.5 ( as in no roms or anything ). what should i do in getting fast test 3.0? ive checked some sites but they only show how to do on G1 not on a mytouch 3g. so can anyone give a link(s) on where to go to start out?
i tried searching some info but either the instructions werent for a mytouch 3g or the intructions werent clear. ( Most sites would be explaining the whole process in like 3 sentenses, its so dumb)
Go with Super D 1.9.3.
cyanogenmod ..the best balance of speed and stability...
also please please please read up a little more before you start flashing.. dont want to see you back here saying you have a bricked phone..
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page
more specifically see here (under HTC Magic)
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page#Upgrading_from_Vanilla:_Installing_your_first_mod
and since your running a mt3g make sure to follow the directions for 32B
if you cant follow that guide you shouldnt bother with custom roms..
look for "android terminal emulator" in market...it actually allows you to type numbers in the terminal!! (OMG!)
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.jackpal-androidterm-zxnC.aspx
and its free
CM is best
personnaly I found using android SDK the easiest of all since you can modify your phone directly from your computer. instead of typing on that little keyboard of android.
hi there.
i got my legend 3 days ago
i got it from some guy that used it for a while, he told me that it has installed superuser whit it the phone can run normaly, including updates, reading every simcards etc....
now i've read that for legend is released 2.2 sw, but my phone is running on 2.1-update1
and dont show me new updates when i click to check for it...
so guys plss can some of you post me here a step by step tutorial what should i do
to get my phone running on froyo or gingerbread if its possible
ty in advanced
confused android user
There's already plenty of tutorials in Development / stickies, some are not stickied, so you might have to search a bit...
As for the update, best way for you check few ROMs and install via ROM manager since you are rooted... B0.7 is particulary good one
ok i manager to install cyanogenmod 6.1 on my legend works great
btw why i cant login my acc on XDA app in phone?
you can go to the market and download Rom Manager... my preferred way in managing rom. it can download rom too ;-), if you found new rom that you want to test other than the ones found in Rom Manager. download it and put it on the root of your sd card so that its easy to look for.
eg. Blay0's B 0.7 rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849
or
CM7 from here. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=legend
and remember to Wipe Data and Cache if its a new ROM to avoid boot loop.
you can then use "Manage and Restore Backups" to jump between roms that you've backup or rename them to not get mix-up...
Have fun ^^
Ok, so i had an optimus one, but this is completley different so please help...or point me to some help pages and stuff
I bought an HTC DESIRE HD , as i notice is rooted, it has RCMixHD 6.0.0.1(android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1) ,
kernel V2.6.35.10 - [email protected] march 29
So :
What do i need to install a new ROM ?
I read something about some radio vers, what up with that??
And if i find something else to ask, i will write here !
Thanks in advance , sorry for being a noob
reading is fundamental. i researched HTC phones months before i bought one(came from blackberry). after i got my DHD i stumbled across "rooting". so i did months of research before i rooted my phone. i still feel like im a noob because im still learning and finding new things out. my point is...you should do the research and not expect people to feed you the answers you are looking for. im not trying to be a ****. just shedding some enlightenment.

Yep, no one can click a button and make you learn things like that.
Check the how to threads in the subforum "Desire HD Android Development".
Everything you need is there.
Read, read, read.
well i have experience in android , had 3 devices before but htc devices are a little diff . since my device is rooted , just needed some small steps to move around here
OK ! at least please tell me if can safely update RIL ... i have an older vers and how i can install android revolution ROM
THX!

See point number 3 (last lines in the first post), to check if you have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed (you probably have). Do it anyway, to update to new version, if it's the case.
You will flash your roms through ClockWorkMod Recovery.
To reach it, shutdown your phone. Then hold the volume down key and press the ON button (top one). You're in bootloader mode. Choose recovery from the menu, using the volume keys and the On/Off button to confirm.
You will boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery. To install a rom, you would already have downloaded the file in the developer's thread and copy the zip file to the root of the sdcard. Don't mess with the zip.
From the ClockWorkMod Recovery menu, choose install zip from card.
To install radios:

thx joooeee !!! so i found out that my phone is ENG s-off ! that is some work not needed to do by me!
About the RIL, you will only need it if the rom has Sense. No Sense roms don't need it.
And you need to match the RIL to the Radio version installed.
ok so despite what you said, i managed to learn some stuff , i updated radio and RIL
and i have the phone for 3 hours
thx jooooe ! you really helped
Nice. You are ready to become a rom flasher addict.
yeaaah ) and the thing is that this phone has a loooooooooooot of roms ) boston and LG optimus one had few ...and those few are buggy
L.E - flashed 1st ROM ) i haaaaaaaa
As stated everything you need to know is already posted in the forums. Calling your self a noob doesn't excuse you not doing your research before opening a new thread. Come on really? No matter the device there are stickies for them all with all the info a new flasher needs to get started.

Hi .. I;ll buy An HD2 next Month But Is Installing Roms On It Simple Like My VodaFone 858 From CWm ?! Or I Need a Pc and Flash The Rom And kernel ?! i've rread All Guides But I Cant understand How To Install An Android Rom With CWm Only ! Any help Or Simplified Guide ?!
at first it's really kinda confusing but after when you do the procedure it's really not that hard.
of-course you'll need a PC to connect the phone & Flash the ROM & some other stuff.
his also trying to flash WP7 ROM via Magldr (bootloader) but you can decide either Android or WP7 or Both. It's a good phone to get specially if the price is right
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618353
Yes you install ROMs via CWM if you are running Android from NAND. The HD2 even has a TWPRecovery too. Everything flashes via recovery that is everything that is part of the Android OS. Just to answer your questions.
Oki nw its easy to install cwm and.the boot loader and flash tha radio or what ? Sry for my selly q.

Hey guys I need some help on what the procedure is before flashing a ROM to this phone. I have had other phones in the past that I have put ROMs on. Most of these phones have threads that have what you need to do before you can flash a ROM. However, I cannot seem to find one for this phone. So with your help I would like to make one for this phone. I just need to know what is need and the options are for it. I can then compile all of the info and make it look pretty for any one else looking for this information and hopefully have it sticky-ed.
Thanks for the help guys.
Hi.
First root using SuperOneclick
Allow install unknown sources in your phone
Install Defy 2init
That's it, you're ready to install any rom you want.
All this apps can be found easily here.
Hope it helps.
