That was my intension for this...:victory:
I Hope to make RAZR hacking easier for new people
P.s. I've requested the MODERATORS to make shift this Thread to DEV section or atleast make it a Sticky Post so that people can see
Lets see :fingers-crossed:
Thanks so much
I came from using the HTC Thunderbolt that I had rooted and re-ROMed many times over. I loved not having all the VZW junk apps and a speedier processor than I thought possible. Almost immediately, I realized that I could not use the same programs and processes to make my Maxx mine.
FINALLY, After all the reading i have done over the past week trying to decide whether rooting and flashing my Razr Maxx, your videos made me actually feel comfortable to make the decision and go with BMM. I actually installed it and looked around on it as you were teaching in the video. As I learn more, I'll start trying the ROM you suggested. It's a different concept to me to have the stock system just sitting on my phone while running another ROM completely, but I think I can get used to it :good:
THANK YOU, this thread is very helpful. I agree that it making this thread a sticky for us NewBees, is a great idea!
Thank You

I did a full backup and there was a folder created in ext-sd (clockworkmod). Inside there are 3 folders, backup, blobs, firmware.
I'm ok with backup and firmware (I know what these are).
What about bolbs folder?
It contains a lot of sub-folders, named with numbers.
Thanks in advance.
excelent! is very helpful

its backup files...its required by Recovery to take incremental backup!
you can't delete it No, you can't. Or your back-ups will no longer work.
The blobs are most of the back-up. Storing it this way means you can make incremental back-ups rather than all of them being stand-alone. Certain back-ups will share blobs, saving you space.
It's annoying, and it would be great if you could choose the stand-alone method or the blobs-method. But you can't.
hope that helps!

*Sigh*
I’m a newbie (more like retard) when it comes to this whole update android, leaked Rom’s, recovery, root etc. Can someone please help me get some clarity?
1. Will there be a problem if I try to install the official 2.1 update when I have a rooted phone and Villain 3.4? (No stock 1.5 ROM available via nandroid since I didn’t know what I was doing at the time I first updated it).
2. What is the simplest way to change one's recovery ROM? Do I have to use this whole adb/fastboot (whatever that means) and mess around with things I don’t understand and probably brick my damn Hero, or is there a simple way á la download-copy to SD-click install? The things written in hXXp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124 makes me nauseous!
3. What do the terms "Dalvik-cache" and "SD:ext partition" mean, and why would i want to wipe them? (Found them in the wipe-section of my recovery ROM: RA-hero-v1.5.2). Am I supposed to wipe these as well to do what “nprussel” (hXXp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622468) calls a “full wipe” or is a reset to factory enough?
4. When using nandroid, what is the difference between "nand backup", "nand + ext backup" and "BART backup"?
5. What do you gain from partitioning your SD-card?
To those of you who care to answer my questions – thank you!

From one noob to another, I'll *try* to answer what i can.
1,... Having a custom ROM will not stop you from being able to get 2.1 when it is officially released. I'm sure everything you need will be posted somewhere for easy access. But if you want to download from HTC's website you may need to flash one of the stock ROMS first. You can find all of them at http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
I reckon using one of the HTC generic ones would be your best bet.
2,... This is the method I used:
I. Installing a recovery image:
1. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications - and make sure "Unknown Source" is ticked.
2. On your phone, go to Settings > SD card and phone storage - click Unmount SD card.
3. Then click Format SD card.
4. Plug the phone into the computer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
hxxp://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec - FlashRec.apk
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124 - Amon_Ra’s Hero Recovery Image
6. Copy them both to your SD card (do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them on the SD card itself).
7. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
8. Go to the Market and download ASTRO File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
9. Open the file manager and find the FlashRec apk file and click it and choose open app manager and then install it.
10. When it is installed click Open. Click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish. If you get "backup failed" response see the "Ib. Installing the correct HTC ROM" section for more details, if the backup is a success carry on.
11. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type:
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
(replace exact name as new versions come out)
Then click on the Flash Recovery Image button and wait for it to finish.
... Big props to BTDAG for those instructions. (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 -- [Guide] How to Root & Install a Custom Rom on Orange UK & T-Mobile UK [Updated 13/03])
3,... I think a full wipe would be select Wipe Data/Factory Reset, then select Wipe Dalvik cache, then Wipe SD. This is an assumption as they were the steps I followed. (Again, from BTDAG's thread)
4,... Sorry, ain't got a scooby. No Idea.
5,... I think it does something like setting aside a specific amount of room for system files. Some ROMs need partitioned SD cards for the Apps2SD function to work.
I hope some of that helps,... Peace.
Nandroid backs up your phones image (i.e. like a photo of how your phone is on that day)
Nandroid + ext also backs up your ext partition on your sd card (only used if you want to activate and use apps2sd)
Bart is another backup utility, not sure what exactly it does as I have only ever wanted to/needed to use nandroid.
You only need to partition your sd card if you wish to use Apps2SD.
- basically what this does is give you the ability to save and run apps from your sd card as your phone has a limit on how many apps it can have (in file size not number of apps) so if your someone with hundreds of apps then you need to use this but the majority of us don't need to worry about it.
If you root now and want to remain rooted then don't install the official 2.1 it won't take long for a pre-rooted version to come out (a matter of hours) so just wait and install the pre-rooted one
ddotpatel, Lennyuk - Thank you! Your help is greatly appreciated!
CleanViewpad7 v1.0

With installed ADW Launcher EX:
This build is for Viewsonic Viewpad 7. I’ve made this build mainly because I had one big problem with stock one – it was offering little space for my apps. I've used this opportunity to add extra features and remove some annoying ones. Here is the list of changes:
based on latest official stock Viewpad 7 firmware Android 2.2.2
added Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.2 functionality (require that you have extra partition on your SD card for storing your apps; exact procedure to create one is described in installation procedure)
fully deodexed and zipalligned ROM
ROM is rooted (Superuser.apk + su)
installed BusyBox with support for init.d scripts
replaced "Welcome" boot animation with stock android 2.2 animation
installed Gingerbread keyboard
installed Morelocale2 for more languages
modified framework-res.apk and services.jar with Gingerbread look like + % battery
removed Aldiko,RSS, TouchPAL_M20
updated gapps to newest version (Gmail, GoogleQuickSearchBox, Maps, Market, VoiceSearch) & YouTube
modified host file for ad-free
Now you don’t have to worry about decreasing internal storage when you install more application. You don’t also lose access to application when you phone is connected in drive mode to computer, because application data is being hold on ext3 partition on SD card. That partition isn’t mounted when your phone is connected to computer. The things that are redirected to this partition are: /data/app, /data/app-private and /data/dalvik-cache. Firmware should also work with compatible devices such as: Cherry Mobile Superion, Commtiva Linx N700, Olivepad VT-100, Spice MI700, and Camangi FM600 but I don't have these devices, so I cannot verify. As always make a backup before installing any custom firmwares.
Requirements:
installed Clockwork Recovery Partition as described here [TOOL] Viewpad 7 Backup, Root & Recovery
Changelog:
V1.0
initial release
Installation:
Power down your device.
Power on device holding power button and both volume keys simultaneously.
Upon power up you will see the birds logo and 'enter recovery' text in the top left corner of the screen.
Use the volume keys to step through the menu, power to select and back. (there is bug in clockwork when you press volume keys it jumps 2 steps; to jump one step press and hold volume and then press power to select)
Select the "advanced->Partition SD Card" item, next select size for your Apps2SD partition (1024MB recommended), next select 0 as size of swap partition. (Remember that this will delete all data on your SD card, so make backup of SD card if you need !!!)
After the partitioning will be done select the "reboot system now" item.
Using USB cable connection or SD card reader copy CleanViewpad7_signed_v1.0.zip to root folder of SD card.

Nice work bro.although it would be better to use the latest a2sd version of darktremor(2.7.5.3)
which supports ext4 partition and data2sd feature.so instead of adding a2sd 2.7.5.2 you can provide a link to the flashable zip of the latest DT-a2sd (http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip). it works i have tested it.

yes i have it rooted. what i had to do was boot the stock rom boot.img with this rom. working great right now.
I followed the directions in the first post and then downloaded the file from post#2.
Once you have the file from post #2 on your SD card, rename it to update.zip and then boot your device into Clockwork Recovery and select the "update from zip" option. Rebooted and my device now has 167MB of available space on the internal phone storage.
Thanks guys... this is the way the device should have shipped from Viewsonic, and although it aint no Gingerbread, I'm finally happy with my Viewpad after several months if dissapointment.
One thing that I find to be very strange is that it appears that some data is saved somewhere?
Even after I performed the following:
Formatting the SD Card
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvik cache
Load the new ROM
Did not log into any kind of google account and basically skipped all the setup options.
The device still shows all the wireless hotspot data that I logged into before. Why does it have the password for my WiFi router after all those steps were performed.
If I were to sell the device to someone else, is there any way to be sure ALL data has been cleared from the device?
Cheers!
Great work, good to see another ROM for the Viewpad!!!
Will for sure try it...
A few questions:
You are using the a2sd version of darktremor(2.7.5.3), I personally use Link2SD which also moves all data, cache,... to the 2nd partition of the SD card...
It's actively developed and it's free, so check it out...
Is this ROM with the kernel from tj-style? Then we can overclock to 824Mhz and it gives a nice speed boost...
If then you do not want to use it for your ROM, you can set it to the stock speed with SetCPU...
Thanks,
Nick
Since many people are requesting for TJstyle's oc'd kernel.I modified this ROM to add the kernel and some other stuff.
Here is the download link:

Worked perfect here! I love the boot animation! This is exactly what i needed! many thanks to everyone here for helping out!
Have installed this rom and the dark tremor update but my phone storage is still decreasing when I install apps. I have set up an ext 4 partition on my sd card.
:'(
These are the steps I followed yesterdat night to update my Lg optimus p500 to Android 4. I have collected all these from different posts & Sites, So thanks to them who really made this possible. After reading lot of posts you might be confused about the steps & Base band. I m telling you a simple way-
STEP 1- Attach your phone to LG pc suit & update phone software so that by default your phone base band will be updated to 20_ . You can see it from settings > About Phone.
Step - 2 Root Your Phone.
1. First of all, grab root package from the link ( http://depositfiles.com/files/lou8ae8uh )
2. And download needed driver pack , and install on pc then reboot pc (http://depositfiles.com/files/a45wh9f07 )
3. Enable usb debugging mode by going to settings>applications>developer on phone.
4. Extract root.rar to safe place like desktop.
5. Go to ADB folder , if you are on window 7 run cmd7.exe OR if you are using Windows xp then run cmdXP.exe .
6. After starting cmd7 or cmdXP, type following commands in Red Color
adb devices
then
adb shell
(symbol will change to $ or #)
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
7. After doing this, Reboot your phone
8. Now go to root folder on desktop again, and start SuperOneClick.exe
9. Select GingerBreak method and press root button
10. Wait few seconds and its done.
STEP- 3
1. Install Rom Manager from market on phone.
2. In rom manager application Click on install clockworkmod..
3. Boot Your Phone in Recovery Mode (Volume Down + Home + power Key)
4. Go to the main recovery menu and follow the below steps one after another to wipe data, cache and system.
‘Wipe Data/Factory Reset’ –> Yes
Mounts and Storage’ –> Format /system –> Yes.
‘Mounts and Storage’ –> Format /boot–> Yes.
‘Advanced’ –> Wipe Dalvik cache –> Yes
5. Switch off Phone & Remove memory card.
Now You are going to install rom-
6. Put the Rom & Gapp files (You can download from Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614420 ) on your SD Card’s main folder (With help of card Reader) for easy navigation since the recovery mode is tough to navigate with hard keys.
7. Put memory card back to phone & Reboot the phone in recovery mode again, After this choose install zip from sdcard option
8. Select the ROM (the same file that you just downloaded, beta_testing.zip) to install – your ROM will begin to install.
9. Once installed press the back button few times to go back to the main screen of Clockwork Recovery.
10. Choose reboot system now
11. Reboot Phone in Recovery mode & again install Gaapp app from sd card similarly & Reboot phone again.
People who wants exter like SD partition
WARNING!
THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING!
(SD CARD AND YOUR CURRENT ROM)
I am going to explain how to partition your sdcard for more user app memory..
This will give you about 1GB of storage to store more apps on!
1. Backup everything from your sd card and apps
(this will format your sd card and apps)
2. Boot into clockworkmod
3. Go to advance
4. - Partition SD Card
5. - 1024M (1GB)
(recommended for smaller sd cards)
6. - 0M
After this step the phone will just sit there for a while just leave it alone and it will say done when it's done!
Important!
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
Reboot your phone/ or install a custom rom (your choice as described above)
Download Link2SD from the market
Run Link2SD and a thing should pop and click on ext2 then reboot the phone..
First step can be simplified.
I used Unlock Root tool to root my phone 2nd time after i unbrick it.
And it works!
http://www.unlockroot.com/index.htm
The phone must be in debuging mode.
There are tons of guides already...and u must mention about wiping before flashing the zip! Otherwise this guide is wrong!

Are you sure you followed the steps exactly as you have written?
Coz i think without boot partition, the device would not be able to boot unless you install a new rom(which has boot partition) before switching off or rebooting.

I've tried that already, you can boot into recovery, but not start the OS. Then the Fastboot Mode appears.

Our phone doesn't have official ICS.Only custom made ICS is there.Therefore u need a rooted phone to flash it.Just like flashing custom ROMs.
It wont unroot ur device.

Yep it'll unroot ur device.If ur on a custom rom, u have to flash official firmware (either froyo or GB).
Eitherway it unroots ur device.But now rooting is just a minutes work so better to update the baseband and root again.
P.S. I think u can update the baseband without flashing original firmware, but I am not sure about it.May be u could search for it.
This might help u : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15250036

Safestrap is based on Non-Safe- (Stock Motorola System) and Safe System (Custom System)
Non Safe System:
This is your Stock Motorola System, which will be protected during an Flash on Safe System. That means your Blur Rom is save and you can always boot back into Non Safe System, in case that something went wrong during your Crackflashing - Actions!
Safe System:
This is the System where all the Fun happens. Here you can flash any Rom / Theme or Mod. Your Blur System won't get touched and you can try some crazy stuff on Safe Side of Life.
Requirement
Rooted ICS (Android 4.0.4)
!BusyBox installed!
!! Always got your FastbootFiles ready and your Battery charged till 100% to be prepared for the worst case > Brick on Non Safe System !!
Important:
Don't got any other Custom Recovery on your RazR, when you are on your way to try Safestrap!
I recommend an clean SBF Flash of your Stock ICS Rom to kick all Leftovers of CWM (Touch) out of your System!
If you are using BootMenu you can uninstall it completely from your System.
Just follow these steps:
Open BootMenu > Install / Uninstall
Start uninstall from top till bottom

HSD thanks for this thread!
Probably someone will find a way to increase the memory in the future,the memory is 600 MB because the phone is loading two kernels in once,so it has to share some memory with the first loaded kernal,this is at least my opinion.
meanwhile i have three questions:
1.Will users would be able to load other kernals in the future?
2.Kexec is integrated to cm9 only? or is it possible to run Kexec on other roms?
3.Is there any change log or some information on what Kexec integrated kernals offer?
Thanks in advance .
I assume this is the thread to talk about it.
I think so.
But for more Information we have to wait for an right, working Link to add in OP. It's hard to follow all these Links that changes daily an till now I wasn't able to access rombot again.
I use KeXec ICS the first time today and it's new for me, too. So we'll see what happens in future.
@ the moment I'm just thankful, that these Guys released it for XT910 today
Sent from my KeXec InfecteD XT910
And when kexec'll be adapted to bootmenu, Which advantages will Safestrap have over Bootmenu?
Thanks for the post!
When Whirleyes is back from vacation I'm sure he will KeXec get running on BootMenu.
Personaly I miss it, because it's a lot faster than Safestrap is.

Well nice work hsd again but I would I like to say saying something its currently better not to switch to kexec cause battery life is not good and animations in the rom are slow also camera is not working
It would be better to wait for the final rom and then flash it

@Pilot: Are you running Infected Rom with kexec?? Is it possible to get the CDMA-CM9-Kexec to work using the GSM-Patch? Because the CDMA-CM9 has less bugs..
No, there's only the CM9 KeXec. I changed the Rom & Signatur already.
I've not tried it with the CDMA Rom. The No Deepsleep is an huge problem for me, because of the bad battery drain. I'm not sure if it's fixed on the CDMA Roms already.

How to switch recoveries
Index
1. Benefits of BMM and SS
2. Switch from SS to BMM
2.1 Basic usage of BMM
3. Switch from BMM to SS
This little guide is a work in progress! Within the next time I will insert pictures, detailed explanations about several features, etc. For now it's only a quick switching guide for SS users or beginners.
Who wants to know everything?
Whirleyes, the creator of BMM provided a great virtual BMM on his website! It works like you had a working BMM on your computer, you can browse through the menus and get detailed explanations. A user tutorial is also available which explains everything!
Find it here: http://www.projectlense.com/BootMenuManager/Tutorial/
Any help is welcome to extend this guide. Otherwise give me some time to finish it. Thx!
1. Benefits of BMM and SS
BMM:
BMM is a full featured recovery system and is recommended for developers or advanced users. While a high featured recovery is nice for developers it can be a big disadvantage for normal users. If you don't know how to handle BMM you can brick your device very fast! But besides of that there are many benefits, such like the possibitlity to flash roms to the stock or 2nd system (webtop partition) - which aren't virtual systems. A generic partition provides better performance and it could affect the behavior of some tweaks too. For me it provided also better battery life.
The system Keeper can be used to install root to your selected system, unroot or also install BMM after flashing to the stock system - after flashing to stock system BMM will install itself autmatically! So it protects you from loosing BMM.
An additional feature is the compatibility to Safestrap! You can boot your Safestrap Slots with BMM, or restore nandroid backups from SS to one of your BMM systems. I'm not sure if this works with SS vice versa.
Based on CWM 6 Touch
Multiple Boot (Select any system on startup)
Boot modes (Kexec, 2nd-init, Insecure adb)
6 Rom Slots (2 generic, 4 virtual img-slots)
Backup (Fast, Full, Selective)
Restore (Fast, Full, Selective)
Wipe (Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Battery stats)
System Keeper (Backup, Install, Uninstall Root, Install BMM)
Mount (Format ANY partition, mount partitions - e.g. for use with Filemanager)
Stock System flashable
2. System uses the Webtop partition (which is unused since Moto ICS! That means there are 1,3gb of unused space! BMM uses the webtop partition for userdata. Only disadvantage is: Userdata size is limited at 1.3gb)
Virtual Slots (Create partition images with preferred sizes)
Custom Install-Binary allowed on all slots (e.g. usefull for updater-script commands using Busybox, Aroma Installer, etc)
File Manager (Aroma Filemanager, Root)
ADB
No Rom-side hardcoded slots! Roms will work on every slot!)
Firmware Flashing Section (Stock ONLY:
- Backup Kernel

Safestrap:
The main intention of Safestrap is to be SAFE for users. The stock rom system will stay untouched so you cannot brick your device. But the use of virtual slots isn't always an advantage. Roms running on virtual slots can cause lower performance. For normal users who just want to play around or test a new rom SS is the best choice. For users who want to try their own developed stuff or just take the best out of their devices, the best choice is BMM.
Based on TWRP Touch
Fixed Dual Boot (select a slot in recovery as default boot)
Boot modes (Kexec, normal)
Backup (Full, Selective)
Restore (Full, Selective)
Wipe (Data, Cache, Davlik Cache)
Mount (mount partitions - e.g. for use with Filemanager)
5 Rom Slots (Stock + Only virtual img-slots)
Slots for Kexec Roms are hardcoded!!
Virtual Slots (Create partition images with preferred sizes)
File Manager (TWRP)
ADB (?)

2. Switch from SS to BMM
I will only describe the process for installation and the basic usage of BMM. Advanced users might know of find our how to handle additional features - otherwise you can still ask here.
If needed make a full backup of your slot and place the backup somewhere on your computer or wherever it's safe.
Boot into your stock rom
Open the Safestrap app
Hit "Uninstall recovery" and wait for the process to be finished
Open Play Store and search for "Bootmenu Manager" (Make sure it's the version 0.3.4!)
Download and install it
Open the new app and allow su rights
In the appearing menu hit "Install" and finish the process
When done, BMM is installed
2.1 Basic usage of BMM
I will describe the step by step process to install a rom.
But Whirleyes postet on his website an awesome "virtual Bootmenu" where you can brwose through the full menus! It's great, so you can get in touch with it and see how it looks like! You can find it here:
Virtual Bootmenu Website
Reboot
Wait until the BMM splash screen appears, touch the screen and select "Settings"
Now select a system you want to prepare (for rom installation)
- System 1 is your Stock System
- System 2 has limited userdata (max 1.3gb)
- System 3-6 are virtual slots, similar to Safestrap
For System 2 you will only have to prepare the Cache partition. This can be done by hitting the "ACTIVATE" button in System 1 settings
For System 3-6 you have to create the partition images - similar to Safestrap - just pick your preferred sizes.
After preparing your system, you can go back by pressing the "Back" hardbutton until you see the splashscreen again
Now enter "Recovery"
You will see several options (similar to CWM)
First you need to switch to your prepared system
Tick "Switch System" and select that system you've just prepared. You will notice that the color of the buttons has been changed (Each system has its own color!)
Now are able to flash a rom
Select "Install zip from sdcard"
If needed "change the zip location" to int/ext storage
Navigate to your rom zip, select it and confirm
Repeat the last 3 steps for Gapps or whatever you want to flash
When done, enter the "reboot options" in the main menu
You can select whether to reboot as usual, reboot directly into your preferred system, reboot into bootloader or stock recovery)
Otherwise just perform a normal reboot and select your system at the splashscreen
That's it!
3. Switch from BMM to SS
I will only explain how to uninstall BMM safely and install SS!
Boot into System 1
If needed make a full backup of your slot and place the backup somewhere on your computer or wherever it's safe.
Open the BMM app
Select "Installer"
Select "Uninstall"
When the process has finished BMM is removed
Make sure you have the Safestrapxx.apk on your sdcard
Open it and select "Install recovery"
That's it.

*Thanks Whirleyes, the creator of BMM, for the great work!
*Thanks Hashcode, the creator of SS, for his awesome work!
Great initiative!
It would be nice to add for BMM users
system 2, in order to be used, it has to be activated first:
when device boot, do not press recovery, but settings, system 2 and activate
for flashing kernels, there must be NO SPACE into the path like
firmware/kernel.EU.JB/boot.img

The system 2 thing ias already there - but for all systems.
Safestrap only has 5 slots (stock + 4 virtual) you might also want to note that safestrap kexec requires specific slots.

File manager?
All,
I have recently made the jump to BMM. I am enjoying using it once I had it figured out..kind of. I am up and running with stock/2nd slot and a third vurtual. How do you get the file manager working once in BMM? It gives an error saying aromafm is not installed? Is this an additional add on? If so how do you install it so it works in BMM? TIA

YOu have to pick the Aromafm.zip from the internet. Just search for Aroma File Manager and store the zip in /sdcard(-ext)/clockworkmod/

Do I have to change the name or permissions of that file? It shows aromafm.zip.cfg? TIA

Grab it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Rename the zip to aromafm.zip. That's it.
Great guide!
I'm using SS only have two questions:
What if I messed up my stock rom and can't boot into it? Is there any way to install BMM (beside flashing my phone to stock rom via RSD)?
I have never used BMM and probably won't switch... but I thank you kindly for your time and work on this guide...

If you have an accessable recovery installed you can restore your system (resotre nandroid, flash rom, etc). But if you cannot boot into any rom you have to flash using RSD.

Ok, I"m using liquidsmooth on slot 3, but still can't restore my stock rom to stock slot. I messed it up by flashing cm10(JB) accidentally on stock slot, while I had an ICS stock rom installed on it.
What if I don't have a nandroid backup? What rom should I flash to go back to stock ICS on stock slot (XT910, Latam)?
Thanks in advance!
you should know before you flash something... Look inside the firmware super thread.

Have you copied the md5 files too? If yes, try it again without them.
Great job!

Is there a how to thread for using bmm? I can't find anything recent with step by step instructions. I managed to get a rom flashed, but I'd like a better idea of how to use BMM/Aroma.
