[Q] HOW TO - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so im new to the game...
What do i need to do to back up my current STOCK rom, and then how do i flash a new one like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743769
Like i said new to the game, this is my first android phone, i already did the one click root, that was easy enough.
A step by step would be nice, or a link to a step by step, its mostly the lingo and what not i dont get but anyways thanks in advance.

Wrong forum to ask this but.
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734164
Follow directions there
2) You're able to make up backups and flashing new ones is right there on the instructions.
***Installing***
boot into recovery, apply update.zip ( ClockworkMod Recovery )..
1. Install Vibrant4.zip
2. Reboot

im in the same boat, anyone care to help? not iliterate, just need to know the steps, im pretty good about teaching myself about them... im more curious about the themes. but any help would be great

what game?
to back up,
1. root
2. download rom manager
3. back up rom

I have much more detailed steps in the sticky of the General section (which is where this should have been posted.... correction, it should not have been posted because the Sticky says to read my first post before posting a question). Not intended to sound harsh, just informative.

[Q] Installing TnT lite by a newbie

As a newbie to Android, and without having to read a thread thats got thousands of replies, can someone detail exactly, and in very plain steps how to put TnT lite on the gtablet using windows 7 on a laptop? thanking you in advance.
I suggest you look at the sticky posts of the development section, there is one with detailed instructions. Also look at the sticky post about posting in the correct section.
First off I would install clockworkmod recovery bekit .08 this will help you if you run into trouble

Reading the posts in the development section is going to keep you from making huge errors. There is no easy howto if you don't have the basic knowledge however let me link a few threads. Read the first post of these threads. If won't take more that 30 minutes and you will have a much better understanding of what you are about to do. Then it will be easy to do what you want.
Understand how update.zip with standard recovery works

The basic market fix is in the clockwork thread I linked along with flashing instructions. It is impossible to make a complete step by step howto guide if we don't know your knowledge base therefore if you have a basic understanding of the terms and ways we do things it will be much to help you.
I don't mean to be rude but if you don't want to take the time to understand what you are doing then why would we take the time to help you.
Good luck and happy reading. Feel free to ask questions after you search the forums. Almost guaranteed to find your answer.
I am also in limbo with this!
yaudon,
If you are saying what I think you are saying -- no problem -- just read the stickies and particularly the ones Bad Frog put in this thread.
Too many people come here with little knowledge (as all of us did not too long ago!)
and want instant gratification -- I want it and I want it now!
If you are going to mod, you have to be willing to read and work and sometimes
suffer.
I think the results are worth it. IMHO
Rev
People have posted some great posts here. Let me do a quick recap on what it requires.
1. Root your G-Tablet.
2. Install Clockwork ( should be 0.8)
3. Download your preferred rom to install(most are already in update.zip format) and put on your internal sd card in the root directory of your G Tablet.
4. Reboot into recovery (volume up and power button).
5. Backup your current rom
6. Select install from zip
7. Reboot into new rom.

[Q] Verizon Fascinate can't install Rom Manager - Phone is rooted

Hi, I just got a hand me down samsung fascinate to replace my barely functioning OG Droid. I rooted it and installed rom manager and it kept failing the custom rom installation or any installation of anything from recovery manager. It kept saying the signature verification failed if I remember the error code correctly. That was with the 3e recovery software. I read a few posts that said the older 2e version would work better with rom manager.
So I used odin and reverted to an older software revision, 2.1-update1. That successfully shows 2e as the recovery manager version. But now the market doesn't show rom manager(free) as an install option, premium shows up though. If I use the web browser to look at the market and look for it it shows up but it shows four devices, my old droid, a nook I rooted and converted for a friend, and then two devices that just show a question mark and doesn't allow them to be selected for installation. I thought thats ok I'll just download it from clockwork mods website and install it manually. I downloaded it but astro opens it and shows no info, details tab says it cannot open RomManager.apk as APK file. If I open it with file manager it says it cannot parse package. I tried downloading it on my computer and transferring it to my phone and it still says the same thing.
So I'm really confused as to what is going on. I do have install non market stuff checked.
I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I want to install miui as that was what I ran on my droid and liked it. Want to see how it runs on a faster phone.
Thanks in advance hopefully I provided enough information and didn't miss something simple.
When you were on Froyo, did you install the modified 3e Recovery needed for CWM to stick? I'm sure this is your problem if you didnt take this step.
Here is a link to the thread with everything you will need. If you have additional problems, dont hesitate to ask!
Hope this helps!
BTW: 1. Dont worry about this being for the infuse. It will work fine & 2. These types of threads should go in the Q&A section, for future reference
Rom manager is pointless unless you run cm7 nightlies. Get the recovery fixed for cm7 (first post of jt's cm7 thread in development) put miui rom on sd. Pull batt, flash fixed cm7 recovery in odin, insert battery (don't boot), 3 finger to recovery and flash miui. Profit.
good day.
First thank you for the replies very appreciated.
Tone_Capone I was going to try your method first. You are correct when I was on the updated firmware I did not flash the "fixed" 3e recovery did not realize there was one. My question now is I'm currently at 2e recovery, on the older firmware. Can I still follow those directions and put the modified 3e recovery onto the phone how it is. Or does the modified file count on other files being in place that I don't have since I'm downgraded? Do I need to update it again? I hate to ask but I just want to make sure.
chopper the dog Sorry about wrong section, thought q and a would be for commonly asked questions and the answers for them. I was gonna try this method then but I'm not sure if I choose bootloader in odin or pda like I did when downgrading the firmware.

[Q] Starting Off

I have the following:
Samsung-SGH-I777
2.3.6
I777UCKK6
2.6.35.7
GingerBread.UCKK6
I have spent a lot of time reading XDA and other Android Boards hoping I could find a pretty straightforward way to get control of my phone (su access?). I want to get rid of apps that T put on and I also want to be able to hotspot my phone. But I really want to understand what I am doing. Every thread seems to assume a level of knowledge I just don't think I have. I'm tempted to jump in but feel like I'll then just be a poster saying HELP BRICKED MY PHONE.
When I come across a youtube or pdf that looks promising - it invariably has comments associated with it like: Oh, if you upgraded to 2.3.6 watch out.....or, I did this and now my wifi doesn't work.
Here is my question - can anyone point me to a thread or website that really walks a novice through the basics like the difference between a Rom and a kernel, how the SD card works etc.
And certainly if someone can point me to a solid root procedure for my phone (see above) please feel free.
Thanks for listening

Sorry man, That level of knowledge you speak of, is what you need. If you cant find the info, dont root your phone.
We dont hold hands here, there is plenty of info around. Find it and put it to use.
If you searched for everything your looking for, you'd find your answers.
Its obvious that you HAVE NOT spent anytime looking for the answers you seek.
Good luck peter.
Like what was said above, getting the information for all these things is really simple.
Read the stickies.
All of the warnings and disclaimers are tacked onto the instructions because people don't want you to blame them if you don't follow directions or if something that works for someone else doesn't work for you.

It is really hard to brick your phone following the instructions here.
As long as you don't flash anything outside the AT&T Galaxy S2 Forums.
Id recommend Creepy's guide, Ive used this myself and can vouch for it. Avoid (no offense meant) using Zedomax's method to avoid the headache of breaking wifi and trying to get it back. and READ and RE READ before starting the process.
enjoy your soon to be freed phone
I very strongly agree with the advice to follow creepyncrawly's guide. Taking the time to read, understand and follow it will make the process easy and save you a lot of headaches. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification, but read, read and then read some more can't be stressed enough. Take it from a fellow novice.
I will continue to read and take the plunge soon. Definitely look into Creepy's guide.
Thanks to all that chimed in without lecturing.....

That's an OK summary of firmware, but the use of the word ROM as a generic term for firmware needs a little explanation.
A ROM, or read-only memory, is a computer memory chip that has machine executable code built into it when it is manufactured. The code can not be changed. Later models of the chip were programable, and were called PROM, or programable read-only memory which can be programed once, and ePROM, or erasable programable read-only memory, which can be reprogrammed. These type of chips were used in the earliest micro computers, up until current computers, to accomplish the first step in the boot-up process.
Smart phones do not have a ROM or similar memory chip. They use NOR, P-SRAM and/or One-NAND, forms of non-volatile flash memory. The Galaxy series uses NAND memory to store the firmware. The iPhone uses PSRAM.
The use of the term ROM to refer to the firmware which contains the operating system for the phone is merely a convention, but one which has a huge amount of traction, so much so that we all use the term. There are some who would like to see the term ROM disappear in favor of the term firmware, but that is unlikely.

Moving to Q&A
All i did to root my sgs2 was get the proper drivers on pc (kies installs them i believe?). Downloaded odin 1.85 and any kernel that has cwm (i used siyah). put the phone in download mode (lots of places tell you how to do this). Put the kernel in the pda spot in odin. And flash.
Now you have a rooted phone with cwm (if all went right).
then you just download your favorite rom (i used serendipity 9.4) and place on sd card. Boot to recovery. Wipe cache/dalvik cache and factory wipe. Then flash your rom.
That's how i did it any way
Must be something in the water...

The bolded statement is inaccurate. If you followed this sequence exactly as stated, you were not rooted until you installed serendipity.
Noob to noob
The information creepy posted is the way to go. I used his superoneclick with root to get out of a failed clockwork mod loop back to stock with root.
The post was I777UCKH7OCD Root no BL.7z. This will give you clockwork mod recovery from which you can do further modifications.
The program is a 7zip file. READ about 7Zip. Follow the instructions.
Practice getting your phone into download mode (dry runs).
Don't panic.
After reading if you still have questions, read some more. All the information is here.
When you sucessfully root, look in the dev section and read about the custom roms/firmware and see how they operate, problems, successes before choosing.
Personally I like the AOKP by Task, but it is all preferences.
Good luck, you can do it.

what rom can i use and instructions?
thanks
Did you search around the forum already?
i found something with csrom,but no instructions for instal
I think you need to do some more searching and reading. And by "some more" I mean "a LOT more".
"Something with csrom"? You could've at least read up about what it even is.
Word of advice: the phone is not your windows PC made for dummies, you don't install things here by simply starting an EXE file and clicking "Next" a few times. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, it's way too early for you to be looking at ROMs.
However, I want to applaud you for at least opening the thread in the right section. Too many people can't even get that right.
if you want to help me with some real answers is ok,if not please don't post with some like "However, I want to applaud you for at least opening the thread in the right section. Too many people can't even get that right".

That was the help... Shame you don't realize it. Sorry if you got offended by that, but that was for your own good.
If you get stuck at some point while flashing, I'll be more than glad to offer advice. However, I won't ever serve things for you on a silver plate because you couldn't be bothered to search and read. "Give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you'll keep him fed the rest of his life." In other words, you'll get far more benefits from searching and reading and learning on your own than from me serving you numbed down steps and procedures. Especially with this huge amount of threads already explaining everything you could possibly need.

Ok you used that link, it provided you with an unlocked bootloader. Now with that and cwm installed. You can go to the development thread and download a rom. Persay, http://goo.im/devs/Th3Bill/MIUIus/Atrix/MIUI.us.Olympus_2.9.29_Aroma_Signed_Th3Bill.zip
now install that zip from cwm "recovery". And follow directions. That should give you an idea on how most these newer compiled Roms work. (Newer compiled roms all now have aroma or are like kitchen sink (project).
if you need more help just keep asking questions. Worst you can do is bootloop and flash something else.
Edit: fyi : root is nothing like the bootloader, or cwm. Root is inside the rom, you will find almost every rom HAS root in it.
Now if you flash a rom, before you do that... backup your things as you will loose text, call logs, application data, contacts, etc.
fthanks to all for help.

Uggh!
Does nobody here read what's been said before?!
CWM recovery that comes with the automatic unlocker is TOO OLD. You won't be able to flash any recent ROM using that.
You need to flash a newer recovery. I recommend RomRacer's CWM-based recovery.

[Q] Stock recovery overwrite, flash CWM

In the procees of rooting, I had flashed CWM using Odin using recommened settings and it passed and rebooted to ROM(stock) itself. Then I rebooted to recovery mode but what I could see is the stock system recovery instead of the flashed CWM, and I know it was overwriiten by stock recovery by the system itself. I again did this flashing via ODIN but this time with UNCHECKED AUTO-REBOOT, and maually tried to reboot to recovery with button combinations, but instead rebooted to ROM itself. What should I do now to root my device?
Looking forward for your humble reply.
Thanks in advance ;P

You can't have custom recovery with stock firmware, it will restore stock recovery on each boot.
Root doesn't require custom recovery, go read the sticky threads in general forum, search for cf auto root.
I'm don't want just root, I want to flash ROM also.

Root your phone with CF Auto Root
Download and flash a recovery with Rashr (You can donwload it from the PS)
And after this find a rom you want and install it with the recovery BUT always read the section on "How To Install It"
Galaxy S3 International
efeXTREME Lite Rom v5.1
Arter97 Kernel v4.0 beta 3
Finally done,
Read that, read this and all. Especially you boomboomer you have been harsh, I almost spend a whole day on rooting this device that's actually some matter of minutes. First of all let me make you clear that I have gone through each stickies particular to this device and followed the linked tutorials also finally I figured a way out of this stuffs and finally with CWM and ROOT. A little advice from my part, for the sake of getting THANKS just don’t get your head into as many threads as possible. Since I was having deep knowledge about rooting and stuffs (not much about SAMSUNG stuffs), I was able to figure it out. What about if I was a complete noob? Your words should have left me in no hope.
As you leave notes always under your words about what is XDA becoz of noobs,
REMEMBER YOU WERE NOT BORN GEEK

Read that, read this and all. Especially you boomboomer you have been harsh, I almost spend a whole day on rooting this device that's actually some matter of minutes. First of all let me make you clear that I have gone through each stickies particular to this device and followed the linked tutorials also finally I figured a way out of this stuffs and finally with CWM and ROOT. A little advice from my part, for the sake of getting THANKS just don’t get your head into as many threads as possible. Since I was having deep knowledge about rooting and stuffs (not much about SAMSUNG stuffs), I was able to figure it out. What about if I was a complete noob? Your words should have left me in no hope.
As you leave notes always under your words about what is XDA becoz of noobs,
REMEMBER YOU WERE NOT BORN GEEK

"brief" unequals "harsh", that's all there is to it. This kind of talk is exactly what booboomers sig is intended towards. You discourage the people that wanna help. They tell you where you can find the info you need and you argue about semantics. Not everybody has the time to write a nice novel for everybody asking a question that has been aswered before again and again. I for one have a life that's not electronic. Sometimes less is more and in your case "less" was all boomboomer had time for. So please...
