i get boot loop issues if i try and flash villainrom (following the instructions to the letter) - i dont know why but it seems not all phones will flash all custom roms

The obvious answer would be: If you don't like it, don't download it.
You make it sound as if he is forcing you to sign up with your precious email and download from his server..and when things don't turn out the way you wanted you start to insult him and his work?
Oh come on..this is no way to behave on XDA, which i have always seen as a friendly place with respectable and polite posters.
As for the fact that Darkside Agent doesn't have as high a post count as you in here is because he is fairly new to the Android modding scene + XDA. But he is quite well-known and trusted in other phone modding forums..something you could have found out if you had bothered to actually read his website a bit more thoroughly.
Goddamn, some people are just unbelievable..
Skype removed, flash player sorted so it will update..

Alright well I got my HTC HD2 a few weeks ago, and I was searching around Google and stumbled apon xda-developers.com I found a few cool things for my phone like CHT, and a few other apps...but I dont see the big picture here. What are ROMs? Are they operating systems? and what does everyone mean by "flashing a rom" or something like that. Haha im sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum. Could someone just enlighten me on this stuff, and maybe suggest some cool things I can do to my phone, or some apps i should get.
First off the search button is your friend ...
So I am going to give you a quick explanation and you can search and look in the various threads for your answers ....
A ROM is the the component of your phone where your Operating system and included apps are stored ...
The term ROM on this site refers to "Replacements" for the stock system that is installed on your phone, sometimes there are updated stock ROMs here too ..
There are certain things you need to know before considering flashing a ROM and you can find that info in various threads here ...
If you have a TMO US HD2 then you have to make sure the ROM is compatible, TMO US HD2 is a little different than the International one , more ram for one thing.
Now some ROMs have more things than a stock ROM some have less, it is all about personal choice when it comes down to that, some ROMS are more stable than others, some are faster, just depends ....
The Developers of these ROMs, or "Cooks or Chefs" as they like to be called, may do some serious customizing to their ROMs or leave them close to stock, again a personal choice for you ...
I would suggest you do some reading on Flashing, and about your hardware, the only problem with starting to flash your phone is, it is addictive ....
Hope this helped ....
p.s. Read Read Read, and make sure you understand what you are getting into, you can turn your phone into an expensive paperweight if you are not careful ...

Hahahahaha. You too? Yeah we got these like the week after they came out and a buddy of mine told me about this site and I've been hooked on it since. Then the GF gets mad when I'm looking stuff and chaning themes and stuff. She says that its stupid, but the second i offer to change the theme on her phone, it ain't stupid then
Didnt realize i was an addict till i saw the posting of one of your bookmark tab being this forum. :s
Now that you've mentioned it, my gf would be angry when i am with my 'gadget' cos this hd2 is like a swiss army knife for me. Using it for picts, vids, games, work, net..heck, this current hd2 doesnt even do calls. Only does my mobile broadband.
btw. there's no perfect rom.(before you ask this) The only perfect ones are the ones that you favour most.
GF is one thing, wife is another entirely.
But I agree, its not so stupid when you are improving her phone
my gf claims I'm having an affair with my phone/xda
She wants me to go "cold turkey"..... Not happening!
I'm kinda worried that when i try to type "gf" the xt9 tries to change it to "hd".....
maybe its trying to get her out of the picture....
Hello,
My operator "Orange France" have send me an Xperia X10 with Android 2.1, strange, but it's real.
Someone can explain me how to dump this rom (and extract my personnal data, for a clean ROM) ?
If i can dump i will share this rom (unreleased, very strange too) for the community.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Sorry for my bad english.
I am very surprised as you to have this ROM on my X10, but this is real.

connect your phone with your pc
let windows find your phone
back to cmd console: adb pull /system

Not worth to kill yourself over such a little subject.

You know, he's just asking for help on how to dump stuff off the phone. He says he has 2.1 and wants to share...
If I were him (and I'll give the benefit of doubt here about having 2.1, it's not *too* outlandish at this point) I so would just go "**** uploading this crap" after all the damn flaming from assholes in this thread and not do anything about it anymore. May people flame even more after that, but dammit, flamers don't deserve *any* benevolence from the one they flamed.

So typical of forums. Never give anyone a chance to prove what they are saying is true. Flame them out of here, with all the proof now or you are a liar bullcrap.
If he has gone, it will just be some other forum that benefits if he does actually have 2.1 to upload.
... no we don't. Our corporate contracts are with Vodafone right through the group or their affiliations where they can't provide.
Needless to say, I don't work that high up to have experienced it and if you have international working links you must be at LEAST GCB6 of which people at that level don't post idiotic claims like this.
So, using the same note, let's wait and see what this guy has to say

Don´t believe it.
The latest version in EMMA has still some "not translated" parts (they are in english) and has a few tools installed which are not for public.
I do not believe
is very unlikely
unfortunately a screen shot did not test anything
will probably dump the 38th week

I read the post, and quoted the sentance, of the claim you said he hadn't made.
Anyway, it should only be a few hours until his father finishes work , then we'll be able to get the proof if it actually is 2.1 or not, which I' saying not.
You have read the whole post, have you?
I also said he's trying to provide information to his situation instead of making a claim which you chose to ignore.
And he had asked a question in his post which you also ignored.

Hi Tomboss, well that's very common on this forum. 90% of the posts are bullsh**t, whining, yelling and so on.
I'm also very unpleasant with that situation.
Afaik, there is actually no way to get a dump directly from the phone to the PC.
I guess the only way is to perform a repair flashing through SEUS / PC Companion.
Unfortunately, the whole Phone will return to its delivery status.
But you'll have all files dumped from the SE Servers to your Harddisk, as they are downloaded from SEUS again.
Before, you can Backup about 100% of the Phone by using "Titanium Backup".
Just to make sure, you're not running into a wall.
Are you 100% sure, you didn't confuse Android 2.1 and S///Es Version Numbers like "R2Bxxx".
Hi Tomboss,
Did you look on the phone at the firmware version?
Also i think you may need to root it to use titanium backup. There is a quick root on here somewere that is quick and easy to use, called x10root.
i have preware and a number of patches installed currently. is it safe to install the cm7 build while these are installed? or do i have to restore to factory before attempting android install? thx in advance
I had the same, and installed CM7 without any problems. So I say, just go for it - you gonna love it. If you have any problems installing just ask, and Ill see if I can help (and if I cant, theres about 100 others who can)
Wow rev thanks.. up and running and glad to see so many apps working. Easy stuff with your video.

Yep, I believe the kernal has nothing to do with the android installation, Android has it's own kernel. I have F4 Phantom installed and am having no issues what so ever -- other than the ones that everyone else is having due it's alpha state
Once installed you will be able to choose between android and HP's Web OS after rebooting the device.
If you need a video guide to move 4 files onto a usb drive, run a program in CMD prompt/Terminal, then you really shouldn't be running Alpha software.

I'm getting tired of people using this BS as an excuse for reckless behavior.
Modding/Using something foreign to you without first knowing how it works is being reckless.
We were all new a some point in time.
Just that there are usually instructions with anything you buy or directions on how to perform a procedure. It is called being prudent.
Would you perform surgery on someone without knowing everything that is involved in surgery?
Would you let someone who doesn't know how to drive a car onto the road?
Would you let someone that doesn't know how to cook prepare a meal for you?
I can go on and on.
So why would you risk damaging you precious $$$ device?
Read the directions/manuals and ask questions if you don't understand something. When you fully understand what you are doing and all accompanying risks, then you should proceed with caution.
Being a noob is not an excuse for negligence.

Actually it might be a good idea to remove it as there is a limited amount of space in the /boot partition, so if you've got a ton of kernels or other stuff in there, there may not be enough space left for moboot and cm7's uimage. Shouldn't be an issue if you've only added one kernel though, but just sayin'...
My reply to all of you is this:
THOUSANDS of people bought these CLEARANCE tablets with the intention of getting Android on them. It would be different if this was a $500 tablet and people actually cared about the value. I know that I wouldn't have bought it for anymore than the $100 I spent, and that makes it more of a TOY than anything.
I say that if people want to flash this, there is no reason why it can't be easy. Hundreds of people are saying "Thank you" because they wouldn't have been able to do this without my video. To them, I say "You're Welcome." To the rest of you, if this video bothers you, don't watch it.
Noobs will always exist, I'm just trying to do my part in helping them de-noobify themselves. (is that a word? Well, it is now.) Some of you act like you have to EARN the right to flash this. I don't understand that. People understand the risk and make their decision based on their level of comfort. If I screw something up, I ask for help. If YOU screw something up, YOU ask for help. I think that is the whole purpose of these communities. For those of you who are saying that my video is causing people to come out of the woodwork and ask stupid questions... I say deal with it. Again, what gives you more of a right to try this alpha than anybody else?
Every time you light a match, just remember... the cavemen had to use sticks.

i bricked mine three days ago and up until NOW have been thinking it was something i did wrong. just happened across this thread as i was JUST ABOUT to run the thing again on my new GS2.
i can't believe the mods in XDAD are letting this go. damn. i'm glad i was looking around for some suggestions which led to this little comment.

Well considering that VR is in the Europe s2 section then user error is at fault if you have a T-Mobile or at&t they are different and the user should at least take the time to look at the forums present before flashing ROMs hence there is no need for Pulser or any other chef to note that its not compatible with XY&Z....

except the many end up there from Google and don't even know that they're in the "Europe S2" section. i had no idea til just now.
simply saying some bolder warning might save a few people a very expensive phone. i found a couple others who'd made the same mistake - there are lots of NOOBS in the way of ROMS like myself who don't even know. your forum is HUGE, and there are MANY google results linking you. that's a LOT of NOOBS ...
a little warning would have saved our asses. T-Mobile saved mine, tho, so it's all ok.
There is a completely seperate forum for the Tmobile SGSII. When the SGSII, and probably that ROM came out there were no variations, just the European version. It is not up to a dev to save your phone, it is up to you to put in the time and research before deciding to mess with it.

It is not our place to do your homework for you. This is what happens when people dont research before rewriting the OS on their phone. People are so fast to want to flash a custom rom before they even know what it is doing that this happens. Flashing a custom rom is not for everyone. If you cant put at least 20 hours into just reading up before you do it maybe you should rethink flashing a custom rom. Roms are not for the average person as they dont have the time to keep it up. I am all for custom roms but have come to understand that the "average" person has no business messing with the OS on their Phone

When you enter the world of pimping phones then the legwork to understand your device is down to user...
Coming from the days where not every kid with a gat "comedy value" had a smartphone I remember when the info was far less and smaller user base. "Yet have never flashed a wrong ROM or bricked a device"
If a user is prepared to flash there expensive smartphone without searching reading then its there fault.
After all there are disclaimers on pretty much all threads and XDA as general so as to stop anyone taking flak for user error.

Hey man hit up my email we need to chat. Yeah I swap it up. Now so I stay on topic as well lol. Please do your homework. We are not coming down on you to be mean. Stylez is right in what he says. when I started here there was like 2 roms for the device and the steps were far more complex. Stylez I am sure remembers lol I blew his pm up lol while doing my research with questions till I knew what I was doing. There was no flashing stock and returning the phone under warrenty which mind you breaks you warrenty. So please for the love of all things tech. Take the time and do the research.
Ok i rooted my phone and unlocked it as well. I rooted only for the purpose of only getting a .08 to .3 KBps data speed in an area the is supposed to have been overhauled. I have had the damn phone replaced three times with no results. I have replaced the modem to the best one which still only gives me at best 1.66MBps. Well now when I use the hotspot.......only computer can connect!!!!! NONE OF MY OTHER 12 COMPUTERS CAN CONNECT AT ALL.....AND WHEN IT DOES IT DOES NOT GET AN IP ADDRESS AND WHEN I TRY TO TURN OFF THE HOTSPOT AND BACK ON I GET AN ERROR!!!!! I go into airplane mode and and then turn it off and I am able to connect but only this one damn computer!!!!! how in the hell can I fix this!!!!! PS. PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME TO SEARCH FOR THIS PROBLEM....BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS AND I HAVE COME UP WITH NOTHING BUT BULL****!!!! I WANT HONEST ANSWERS TO THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!
I need more cowbell.

I'd hardly call what you posted detailed.
If you have CWM then you were already rooted. What method did you use to install CWM? What "best" modem did you install? What ROM are you using? What method did you use to unlock? Where did you look? What searches have you done? I can go on an on with the questions......
I think it best to speak in a softer/nicer tone especially when asking for help. There are a lot of people here that are more than willing to help those that have a genuine interest in learning.

I don't know an answer to your question.
I have rarely seen someone come into this forum with the attitude you are showing in a first post. It'll be interesting to see if you get any help.

Is there an all caps autodelete script running on this server? If not then we need one. When I see all caps I seem to fly into an insane rage for some reason. A character defect of mine doubtless...

All I know is I have been searching and searching on this site for over a week and there is no solution to my problem. And every post I see has pages of posts saying you did not say much or search these forums before you post!!!!!! I DID SEARCH!!!!!! AND I WANTED TO STATE RIGHT OFF.......THAT YOU SHOULD SEARCH!!!!!!! I DID THAT!!!!! I do not know what more you want me to explain!!!!
1. Rooted my phone using ODIN with the ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3
2. Installed Superuser-3.0.7
3. Unlocked my phone with Galaxy S Unlock", the author is "Helroz"
4. After this I get the triangle and Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 on the splash screen.
5. Tried every modem and the best one seems to UCLC2 Modem.
6. After I did all this one one computer can hookup to my hotspot.
7. When a second computer tries to hookup.....First computer losses connection and second one never connects to get an IP address.
8. When you turn off the Hotspot it give you a message "ERROR"
9. In order to get reconnected I have to turn on airplane modes and then off and then the first computer can connect again.
I am just sooooo upset with this ****!!!!! Been fighting AT&T for 5 months with no results. And even with all the modems I have tried I get no more speed then at most times of .3 to .7kbps!!! I can't even download all the original files to restore completely to stock because I am getting about an 80% packet loss!!!!! And the download always fails anywhere from 50 to 70% I am so frustrated with this I am about to take a sledge hammer to this phone and tell AT&T to stick their network where the sun don't shine!!!

K, i'm going to bite my tongue for a bit and try to help you. But you really are sounding like a demanding vulgar little child. So please tone it down and sound grateful so some smarter people might be tempted to help you solve your issue.
What ROM are you using? What security protocol are you using? I'm going to assume you're using Windows 7 on all your machines.... What are you setting as your network location? Home? Work? Public?
Have you already tried the basics.... wiping cache, wiping davlik, fix permission? Have you done a factory reset?

Just to start out.......I am not a demanding vulgar little child..........STOP WITH THE BS........I Happen to be a CCDE (Cisco Certified Design Expert) I know what I am doing and have the basic knowledge of phones!!!! I did all the basic stuff. I am very tired I have been dealing AT&T for months, I have been on this forum for days!!!! And I work 16 to 18 hours a day!!!!! And all I want is to be able to connect more then one computer on my hotspot....THAT IS ALL!!!! I AM COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM!!!!! And I may have sounded vulgar starting this post.....but I want to lay the thread out properly by saying........I am not a noobie, I don't want post saying did you search......did you do the basics.....I already did that!!!!!
Now for the questions to your answer.....I have not changed the rom....it is the stock rom.
2. I turned off all security at this point to make sure that was not the problem.
3. All my computers are running xp as I would never put windows 7 on my machine.
And as for network location I have know idea what you mean by that.......as I have changed NOTHING except installed CWM and the unlock program. I also flashed the phone with all the modems to see what gave me the best speed which was the UCLC2.
4. I restored the efs folder and relocked the phone. Still have the same problem.
5. I just flashed the kernel back to stock and it is still doing the same problem!!

In all seriousness, you gave more detail in the second post than the first. Even though you said you had already started "everything necessary"...

PS - you managed to anger one of the most helpful people on this forum: creepy. You are soon to anger brokkanik and he's in that same category. Im pretty sure you need to reevaluate your approach or you will receive no help whatsoever. I hope you get this problem resolved soon.

Can I have some? This looks like an entertaining show. I'm somewhat flabbergasted at the balderdash being spewed.
**looks up at the site name**
nope, not the AT&T HELP DESK, nor is it the XDA-HELPDESK....
where are you paying for OUR services that gives you the right to yell at everyone?
you are doing absolutely no good for your case here.

And? So you're good at taking tests. Does that garner you a certain level of respect? My 9yr old can set up a network. I could care less if you're exhausted in dealing with this issue. You're demanding answers. You're not asking for help. If you already claim to know the tone of this forum why all the high and mighty "oh look at me! I'm a CCDE. I know how to configure IP's better than anyone that didn't take the test to become a CCDE. Bow down, answer my questions or GTFO!"?
Now for the questions to your answer.....I have not changed the rom....it is the stock rom.

THANKS ALL YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!! JUST WHAT I THOUGHT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE OF HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO BUT....BE THE PROBLEM!!!! I TOLD YOU ALL I AM NOT A NOOBIE.....AND NOT ONE OF YOU SAID, "HEY I HAD THAT PROBLEM AND THIS IS WHAT I DID TO FIX IT" THAT IS EXCEPT THE ONE PERSON WHO UNDERSTOOD WHAT A WAS ASKING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. AS FOR ALL YOU OTHER PEOPLE WHO DID EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED YOU TO NOT DO......... *&^$% OFF!!! OH AND A CCDE DOES NOT CONFIGURE JUST IP ADDRESSES.....I DESIGN WHOLE COMPLETE VoIP NETWORKS!!! oh and close this thread moderator!!
Again thank for the person who pm'd me and was a part of the solution instead of the other ones who had nothing to say but flame!!
dude. get the fkn chip off your shoulder.
you came in here yelling at people, nay, DEMANDING people help you, screaming at everyone even in your first post...
christ, man, what did you expect to get met with? champagne and crumpets?
grow up and learn how to be RESPECTFUL when asking VOLUNTEERS for help....just stop yelling at everyone and you will go a hell of a lot further and people wont troll your posts....
I'm logging in to the site via chrome just so I can report this thread.
Dude, do you have PE problems? Is that the reason for your need to type in caps? To tell people you are a "hot shot"¿ I don't care that you set up voip networks. I care that you are an asshole who types in caps, demands things like a 5yr old and throws around certificate like it's something we should all bow down to. Get over yourself. You may know a ton about networks,I may know a ton about micro architecture (I don't), but that means NOTHING here. Ask and you shall receive. Demand and you shall be flamed.
Anyway, awaiting penalties for this post and grabbing another beer.

get it right.....i came in here asking for help.........and not hearing people say......like i see on hundreds of threads on here to do a search.......and people should not do this or that.........i explicitly said NOT TO DO THIS!!!!!! I ONLY WANTED SOLUTIONS. AND NOT ONE OF YOU DID THAT!!!! YOU IMMEDIATELY WENT ON YOUR **** ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT DO....THIS IS NOT A HELP DESK.........THAT IS WHY PROBABLY NONE OF YOU WORK FOR A COMPANY LIKE CISCO!!! IF I WAS ON A CISCO FORUM AND SOMEBODY DID WHAT I DID......I OBVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT THIS PERSON IS FRUSTRATED EXHAUSTED ALL OTHER AVENUES AND NEED HELP.
I SURE AS HELL WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON MY HIGH SENIOR MEMBERS HORSE AND YOU ARE RUDE, YOU ARE VULGAR!!! iI WOULD HAVE SAID, "HOW CAN I HELP YOU AND SINCE YOU SAID, "DON'T ASK ME IF A SEARCHED THE FORUMS.....OR DID THE BASIC STUFF." I WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY SAID TO THE TECHNICAL STUFF NOT WHAT ANY OF YOU PEOPLE DID YOU JUST WENT STR8 TO COMPLAINING, WHINING, *****ING AND NOT ONE SINGLE ONE OF YOU DOVE IN AND WENT STR8 TO THE PROBLEM. SO YOU TELL ME WHO IS ON THEIR HIGH EFING HORSES??????
THIS IS WHY THERE ARE THREADS WITH 20, 30, 500 PAGES OF REPLIES!!!!! BECAUSE YOU ARE WORRIED TO THINK YOU ARE MOSTLY ALL KINGS AND RULERS OF THE THRONE!!!! GET OF YOUR PEDESTAL!!!!
NONE OF THIS CRAP HAPPENS ON CISCO'S FORUMS BECAUSE WE ARE ABOUT THE SOLUTION AND NOT ABOUT GIVING A RESPONSE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT THE SOLUTION!!!
SO SAY WHAT YOU WANT.........BUT THIS THREAD PROVES THAT!!!!!! MOST OF YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THEN ANYONE ELSE.....YOU ARE NOT!!!
AGAIN THANKS FOR THE PERSON THAT HELPED ME AND EVERYBODY ELSE I WILL NOT DIGNIFY YOUR BS REPLIES WITH ANYMORE REPLIES.
AND AGAIN THANKS..........YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE......IF I NEED ANY OTHER HELP I WILL PM YOU BACK.
