HOW TO
STEP BY STEP GUIDE OF ROOTING,FLASHING CUSTOM RECOVERY & MAKING NANDROID BACKUP/RESTORE FOR DESIRE X DUAL SIM
1.UNLOCKING OF BOOTLOADER
Quote:
Everything starts with this. Unlocking of bootloader will allow you to make changes to some critical partitions of your phone (boot, system and recovery) and will allow you to flash custom recovery that can be used for installing of custom roms, mods and all kind of flashable zips. However, it won't s-off your phone, and other critical partitions (bootloader, radio) remain inaccessible.
So, I won't explain how to do that. Why? Because if you successfully unlock bootloader on your phone it means that you received enough knowledge for the rest of the process and you're qualified to go further.
This process will factory reset your phone (erase data partition) so backup your stuff before you proceed.
Ok, now go to htcdev.com, register your account, go to unlock bootloader section, for the device choose 'All other supported models' and follow the instructions carefully everything is explained in details. Pay attention to 'Required resources' on the first page after confirmation - you need Android SDK platform tools Java Runtime Environment and HTC Sync installed and there are all needed links. Files mentioned in step 5 you will find in Android Bundle zip you downloaded in folder adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform tools.
Here are some useful links about Android SDK platform tools, you won’t be needing most of it but it won't be bad to read.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=ADB
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/fastbootRemark: once unlocked bootloader can be relocked but can never be locked again. This can be done issuing command from fastboot:
fastboot oem lock
This means that on the top of you bootloader screen you’ll have a sign RELOCKED instead of LOCKED, which is a notice to HTC that you unlocked it once. Plus they have data about all users that requested unlock_code so they can deny your warranty whenever they want.
If you’ve successfully unlocked your phone bootloader we can proceed to the next step.
2. CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLING AND ROOTING
-Here you can find custom recoveries attached below.Rename it to recovery.img and put it on the root of c: drive on your PC.
-Also you can download Super su from
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
-Connect your phone to PC and put Supersu.zip file somewhere on your phone Sdcard.
- Do not disconnect your phone from PC, reboot phone to fastboot on one of this ways :
1.Choose restart from power menu and when the screen comes off wait for the buttons to turn off and immediately push volume down, the phone will boot to bootloader, then select fastboot from bootloader menu
2.Issuing command
adb reboot-bootloader
from command prompt that will take you directly to fastboot
- Once you’re in fastboot mode open command prompt, lead it to folder where you installed adb and fastboot (remark: unlocking bootloader guide pointed you to make a folder c:\Android for this) and issue commands:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
The second and third commands are not quite necessary but they don’t harm and leave your phone with no trails of previous recoveries. Now you can disconnect your phone from your PC.
- From fastboot menu choose bootloader and then recovery to reboot phone to recovery
- If you successfully boot to recovery choose options:
Install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd card
Navigate to superuser.zip you stored on sd card and choose it. Once the installation is finished reboot your phone. Now you should see Superuser app in app drawer and your phone is rooted.
3.HOW TO MAKE NANDROID BACKUP[Step1-2] & RESTORE[Steps 3-6](Generating System Dump)
From @NexusPrime experience of building recoveries, if backup works, there is 99% chance that restore will also work....
1. Boot to recovery
2. Select Backup, and COMPLETE backup of each partition(Remember to select Sdcard as storage option for backup before swiping the Backup button)
3. Now, Wipe ONLY DATA, DALVIK, and CACHE (It is essentially a factory reset, so dont wory, you'll just lose contacts, sms n apps)
4. Now reboot, check whether factory reset was successful.
5. Boot to recovery again
6. Restore the data partition ONLY.
7. If it is Successful, Reboot, and check all apps are back or not...
8. If they are back, then celebrate, You can safely take nandroid backups and restore them.
It is the safest path i can suggest. and negligible risk if at all.
OR
If possible get the whole complete SYSTEM by following below method -
If you copy them with ES File explorer, it's going to be a bit tedious as you need to copy folder by folder. If you just simply select system and copy to sdcard you will have missing files.And the easiest way to get the full system dump is :
The device usb debugging is enabled & make sure the device is connected to PC. Then from your adb/fastboot folder then run this command :
adb devices
adb pull /system/
The full system dump will be in your adb/fastboot folder
then zip the whole folders and keep it safely.

Viper4android
Installation flash method for s-on HTC DESIRE X DUAL SIM T329W PROTODUG
If anyone Got viper4android fx or hifi (audio mod) by @zhuhang @viper520
But it won't work on your HTC phones due s-ON (/SYSTEM WRITE PROTECTION)
even if you are rooted.
For over nearly 2 months I have been trying various things 2 get viper audio fx to work on
HTC DESIRE x dual sim t329w protodug, ,,,,,,,,,
So, here I got it working after many searching$
Recommendations :
1. TWRP for htc protodug by @neXus PRIME
2. Download this below :
(necessary mod only for htc desire x dual sim t329w protodug)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/egx2gpjxyl7a6bh/mda8Rr8jza
now you got the folder viPer audio for htc protodug, ,,
Note :- don't try on any other device
As the files are edited to work only on
htc desire x dual sim t329w protodug
Commands are edited under original/stock
build.prop and audio_effects.conf extracted from [[protodug]]
And only for those who are currently on
stock rooted HTC PROTODUG (T329W)
and/or running roms built by @ckpv5 for
Htc desire x dual sim t329w protodug
Follow these steps, ,,
1. Put the folder in sdcard where you can locate it easily, open the folder
INSTALL the viperfx.apk and viperhifi.apk both as a regular app.
2. Now boot into recovery,
3. First thing to do is --- creating a "NANDROID BACKUP"
(skip, if you already got NAND backup)
4. Now under MOUNT tab Ensure sdcard and system are mounted.
5. Get into ADVANCED tab
Click on FILE MANAGER --- scroll to sdcard and locate the folder viper audio for htc protodug.
open it and, (execute carefully !)
Click on build.prop and
copy the file and browse to /system and
click the select button on bottom right corner and then you will be asked 'swipe to confirm' then, swipe.
go back to viper folder on sdcard and now
click on audio_effects.conf
and copy the file and browse to /system/etc
and repeat the same swiping procedure for confirming copy,,,,
AND back 2 viper folder you will find these soundfx libs for viper audio,,,,
libv4a_fx_gb.so
libv4a_fx_ics.so
libv4a_xhifi_ics.so
You have to copy these each to /system/lib/soundfx
Done, ,,,,,,,
copying summary to confirm :-
-- build.prop to /system
-- audio_effects.conf to /system/etc
-- (libv4a_fx_gb.so , libv4a_fx_ics.so , libv4a_xhifi_ics.so) to /system/lib/soundfx
6. Now fixing permissions..........
Recheck whether system and sdcard are mounted,,,
get into advanced/file manager Select /system and click on build.prop ,,,,
you have to click on chmod(never click on chmod 755)!,,
There you will see default value 0000 ,,,
edit the value to 0644 and
press enter button on keyboard(qwerty).
And slide to confirm.
Now head to /system/etc ,,,
click on audio_effects.conf and select chmod ...
Enter the value 0644 Confirm by swiping.
After, go to /system/lib/soundfx
And fix permission via chmod entering value 0644
For each of the below, ,,,,,,,,
libv4a_fx_gb.so
libv4a_fx_ics.so
libv4a_xhifi_ics.so
Now reboot the system under REBOOT tab
Open, viper audio fx and hifi simultaneously, ,,,,,,,,,,,
Check the options tab for "driver status"
You will get :-
For viper4android/viper audio fx
Driver version - 2.3.2.2
Neon - enabled
For viper4android hifi
Driver version - 2.1.0.2
Then 100 % success.............
Congratulations
Turn off DVC under settings/audio/advanced tweaks if you want to use it
with poweramp
And try not to merge any other equalizer/mod wit these two (fx and hifi)
It will distort the quality.........

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------
Also can you add Link to the HTCDev website, attach nexusprime's recovery thread in this thread instead of linking to it (Link is dead aswell ?) Make it a bit more lengthy, Include a little thing about the pro's and cons of Rooting. ultimitley keep it simple (for complete noob users.) but detailed enough so it's educational and easy to use instead of a few non detailed Lines with Links
And add a link to Chainfire's superSU thread and credit him aswell...

Now you said you can restore with no problem, will you take the risk to try flashing the ROM that I posted ? If it doesn't work, you can restore your nandroid backup, right ?
If it work and it is the same version no. as yours, I will deodexed that one and later make it full sense.

For all you Shotputterz heres the factory image we've been waiting for
assuming you have debug mode enabled, ADB and fastboot working properly
EDIT 1: REUP'D CWM mod
EDIT 2: reordered process to make more sense
Method:
1. Download the Beta CWM mod from rootzwikis credit to birdman EDIT:REUP'ED http://d-h.st/Fdp
2. Using fastboot, DO NOT FLASH Clockwork mod just use the syntax
"fastboot boot 'File path of clockwork mod image'
Note* this will boot directly into the recovery without permanently writing to the recovery and boot partition on the eMMC on the Nexus Qs board
3. Download the posted CWM factory backup posted
4. make the directory on the device and adb push the backup folder (unzipped) to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup while in CWM recovery
*The device should show up in "adb devices" while in the CWM recovery*
5. *TEXT WILL BE REALLY SMALL! Now navigate with the Scroll wheel to backups and restore and tap the mute button to select.
*IF SOMETHING IS SELECTED IN ERROR THERE IS NO BACK BUTTON JUST REBOOT AND REDO FASTBOOT BOOT*
6. Now select restore and select the image folder
7.blah blah CWM Freaking MAGIC
8. Your Q is back to factory state
If someone wants to PM me or show me how to package this in a nicer CWM zip to install with a script let me know
http://d-h.st/yeo
*Note* I am NOT responsible if you brick your already bricked Nexus Q*
You sir get a beer, since my 2nd (dev) Q won't arrive until later this week, and mine was a shot put until this post.
If you happen to be in NYC before I move to SF, you get three beers.
Hoppy ones.

No unfortunately it didn't--I blew away all partitions other than bootloader so I can't, to my knowledge at least, push the zip since I can't adb.
I've got factory recovery, boot, system imgs but the system img won't push out because of fastboot's apparent inability to handle files that large (1GB exactly I believe).
...I guess I have to patiently await my second Q but the point of having two was to *use* one and have one for dev... rather than have one as a heavy reminder of my overzealous endeavors...
Hopefully I can give it more time while on this SF trip...
Boot into the cwm bootloader with fastboot without flashing. Adb will be enabled and you can push files the files while your in adb recovery. Try that and flash it.

The problem I'm having is that ADB is not responding from CWM... at least not on a Windows machine. The drivers are fine as ADB was working in normal mode before my issue sprung up.
EDIT: As suspected Virtual Ubuntu on a Win host didn't see the device, Physical Ubuntu had no issue. NQ reloaded.

Can we do this by say pushing the file to the download folder and then installing from zip?
And i know slightly off topic but once we've installed some apks for example, what's currently the best interface to use to navigate through the apps and use them?

I figured it out. You can just follow step #4 and in CWM you can push the CWM Factory img to the /sdcard/Download/ folder and use CWM to unzip and launch.
Could someone please provide me the beta cwm image for Nexus Q? The links are all circular and point to
http://goo.im/devs/birdman/CWM-steelhead-beta.img
Which is dead...

The edit didn't prompt an email to me even though I'm following the thread, so those of you looking for the clockworkmod beta image please take note that OP was kind enough to provide a working link to the image.

ok this is really bothering me, i've restored with this factory image several times, and I have to do it again right now and I cannot seem to push this file folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
what am i doing wrong..
it should be:
adb push NexusQFactoryImage /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ (assuming the file is in same folder as adb which it is)
that's it right.... the extracted folder contents in a folder.. not the zip.. so i dont understand why this is not working. Everytime I go to CWM and try to restore it tells me nothing to restore...
what really bothers me is that i've done this a hundred times, and never had this problem..

BUMP.. stuck in CWM unable to get a restorable file.. no idea why...
Download OneClickRestore (it's the factory image straight from Google with the needed fastboot files included)
Extract zip to OneClickRestore
Unplug Nexus Q
Plug in Nexus Q and place hand on it til the leds turn red then remove hand
Launch "flash-all.bat" from the OneClickRestore folder
You may need to do a full reset, it's hit or miss
Another option is push & flash (Nexus Q)uantum Singularity Project RTS ROM from CWM and again may need to hard reset.
RTS is

The problem with putting Quantum singularity project on is that I can't turn on ADB debug, because i use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, don't have an OTG mouse/keyboard, so somehow I need to be able to connect with adb to setup a bluetooth connected mouse/keyboard
I was thinking to install stock image, and then without wiping install Quantum SIngularity Project over top to preserve the settings for usb debug, on.
what's confusing to me is that i've restored the stock image many times before, and never had a problem.. that's why im wondering what the problem is.. if im typing something wrong.
I used the OneClickRestore as you said, and im just booting it up now
EDIT: didn't get past boot logo, i'll try again
So just to confirm this OneClickRestore is loading the stock nexus Q img right? I've never used it before I usually manually do it
EDIT: still stuck at the nexus q logo before home screen
do you see any error in my commands of trying to push the stock img folder (original post) to "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup" ? I've done it many times before never had a problem
My HTC Desire VC (T328d) was rooted and running Android OS 4.0.3 (ics).
In recovery mode, I accidentally formatted /system folder (from internal phone memory).
This is because the recovery mode is all in chinese language and I did a huge mistake.
The phone cannot boot showing HTC logo screen and no boot sound.
I've downloaded the kernel for this device at htcdev.com and I don't know how to use it and what it is for.
Fortunately, I can enter recovery mode. My friend has the same device and his is not rooted yet. Maybe I can get some files from him.
Any solution, please?
Learn Chinese?

Looks like your best shot is to root your friends phone, do a nandroid backup, restore it to yours, then reset to factory defaults.
Don't forget to use V6 SuperCharger afterwards... lol

Thanks for your advice. But, I don't know how to do nandroid backup. The instructions say that it is apk app. I can't even boot my phone and how can I use apk ? In addition, now I installed a recovery from china site (for Desire VC specifically) and it contains backup and restore function. Is it the same with Nandroid Backup or CWM ?
Can you instruct me in some steps, please ?

Yes, the backup option you see in recovery is Nandroid backup. Please be carefull in formatting system, it would wipe your ROM. Always take nandroid backup before you playing with other Rom.
Here you go,
1. Take nandroid backup of your friends ROM
2. Place the backup into your sd card( backup available in clockwork folder in ur friends mobile. Just copy the entire clockwork folder and paste in ur sd card. Now mount the sdcard in ur mobile)
3. Reboot in recovery.
4. Wipe cache and dalvik
5. Restore from nandroid.
Let me know this helps..

Dalvik is virtual machine that runs Android Apps on Android. Dalvik-cache is the cache area for Dalvik VM, it is created when the Dalvik VM optimizes your app for running.
Dalvik is the virtual machine that is used by Android. It is generally thought of as a java virtual machine, although this is not precisely correct. It uses an object model that is identical to java, and it's memory model is also nearly equivalent. But the
Accordingly, it uses a completely different bytecode than java. However, the Android SDK includes the dex tool to translate java bytecode to dalvik bytecode, which is why you are able to write Android applications in java.
When you install an application on Android, it performs some modifications and optimizations on that application's dex file (the file that contains all the dalvik bytecode for the application). It then caches the resulting odex (optimized dex) file in the /data/dalvik-cache folder, so that it doesn't have to perform the optimization process every time it loads an application.

Your recovery is not CWM recovery.
You must flash CWM recovery first. With CWM recovery, you can find "wipe delvik cache"

Try all basic things, like clearing RAM, Booting your phone etc. If its not solved, try to flash the kernel via recovery. Please ensure that you are s-off for this. Even after flashing the kernel that issue persists, please check your radio (baseband) is latest. Else update the radio. I guess, flashing kernel will solve the issue.
Please let me know whether you are s-off and rooted.
Tips: its my personal advice to be s-off (your warranty voids)
Edit:
If you are HTC.dev unlocked and s-on then follow below steps to flash the kernel.

From where do I have to find "boot.img" ?
I have only back up folder (ROM) from my friend's phone. And I just restored it (including boot.img) with CWM nandroid backup.
Is that the same with your instruction from step 1 to 5 ?
I can selectively restore "boot.img" with CWM nandroid recovery. Is that the same ?
In addition, the version of Kernel I downloaded is the same with my phone currently. I downloaded it from http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
I got primodd-ics-crc-3.0.16-ead8920.zip file. When I extract it, I just found "bcm4329" folder under "primodd-ics-crc-3.0.16-ead8920/drivers/net/wireless" path. I can't find "bcm4329.ko"
Do you mean the driver in my system is not compatible with my phone after restore ?

Boot.IMG is consists of kernel and ramdisk. They both necessary to start up the device, initializing the hardware, phone etc.
Since you are s-on, while placing the boot.img from nandroid, its not well placed. S-0N means, security on that doesn't allows to flash boot.img from nandroid.
I guess, every time you flash the via recovery boot.img is not placed in correct partition.
So, you have alternative method which allows to place the boot.img in correct path.That's why asked to do it via fastboot mode. Hope you understand.
In addition, the version of Kernel I downloaded is the same with my phone currently. I downloaded it from http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
I got primodd-ics-crc-3.0.16-ead8920.zip file. When I extract it, I just found "bcm4329" folder under "primodd-ics-crc-3.0.16-ead8920/drivers/net/wireless" path. I can't find "bcm4329.ko"

Since you have problem only with WiFi and Bluetooth. You can skip fastboot method. bcm4329.ko is same as what you found in the kernel that you downloaded from HTC dev. (Just right click and check the file extension from your pc)
Your friends WiFi and Bluetooth are working fine. bcm4329.ko is responsible for WiFi and Bluetooth. Since you used recovery to restore nandroid, the bcm4329.ko is not placed in the system/lib/modules path. So manually you are placing it
To make it easier do the following
1. From your friends mobile, goto system/lib/modules copy bcm4329.ko file into your pc (use root file explorer)
2. Place that file in your sd card.
3. Then use root explorer and follow the steps mentioned in previous post.( 4 steps under root explorer)
Please let me know if this works.
PS: take nandroid before performing. No warranty for any tips provided. Please do search on google regarding kernel, android partition, bcm4329.ko etc.
Since I don't have pc, I can't help you more with respective links to other sites. Yes, It took much time to compose in my android touch screen.

You broke rule #1, didn't you?
3. Why Youtube FC all the time?
Mabye it’s the latest youtube app problem. Try [APP] Youtube Apk For Ics/Jelly Bean [Version 3.5.5].
4. I didn’t hear music, ringtone, notification, etc. Why?
The steps for custom tones are:
create
sdcard\alarms
sdcard\notifications
sdcard\ringtones
At first time after the rom install if you choose rintone the ringtone is mute. Select one of the ringtones and press vol+ or vol-. The notification ringtone is mute too. Select one of the notification tone then press vol+ or vol-. The same relates to the alarm. I have only one alarm time, and my phone wakes me up every time.
In apollo if you play music at the first time, the sound is mute too. press vol+ or vol-..
5. I lost my custom ringtone/alarm/notification sound, why?
Are your custom sound int he right folder? See 4.
6. I don’t want a tablet look.
If you use pac 4.1.2 it doesnt have paranoidpreferences.apk (Search for any 4.1.2 PA rom, and extract paranoidpreferences.apk from it.)
The new 4.2.2 PAC has it, so you don't need to search for it.
Just go in setting/paranoid setting/apps select
Settings (com.android.settings) and change size to 240, layout 360px save, and hit ok.
select System UI (com.android.systemiu) and change to 240/360 px.
(setting and system ui take effect after you restart the phone)
If gmail/calendar and other apps are in hybrid mod, then change it to 240/360px too.
Or try this flashable zip: see original thread post 1519 don't forget to thank pluGinSz
7. Which gapps do i need? Can i use inverted gapps too?.
Yes.
Be sure you use the proper gapps.
for 4.1.2 roms you need "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip"
for 4.2.2 roms you need "gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip"
Search xda for inverted gapps.
you can save about 30mb in the system partition by flashing the "Bexton" script (download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=1831004) or you can modify justunbean's zip to remove the offending files...Bexton was good enough to list the files in his OP.

9. I'm on wrong baseband where can i find bb77, and how to upgare it?
I would like to update baseband from .70/.72. to .77,is necessary after update do something? Or is recommend to do full wipe (or maybe reflash ROM)?
The basebands are in sirkay's kernel thread. Thans to him!
Download from dropbox link the "ST18i_8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-77_baseband.ftf" Copy it to [C:/]Flashtool/firmwares folder. In flashtool select Flashmode, select de baseban ftf file. (Turn off the phone, press volume down when plug in the usb) Flash it without fota, unchecked all wipe and checked no final verification. It's only the baseband, so it affect only for network signal. After baseband flashing just start your phone.
you can also use BB85, download link Thanks Langes
I tried the bb85 and found bb77 is the best, but you can give a try too
10. Where is the kernel?
The kernel (boot.img) is inside the zip. Don't unzip it, just copy the "boot.img" to the folder, where you can find it.
If you use another kernel, be sure you downloaded kernel for right jb version.
11. Can i use the rom with other kernel?
Yes you can. Some devs made a kernel for JB. But remember, that if you use other kernel, you must probably falsh his own wifi modules. Read and search in kernel thread for possible bugs.
sirkay's xKernel: xKernel JB v1.0.2 If you use it, don't forget to thanks him.
Lupus kernel by wedgess: LuPuS-_-JB.img If you use it, don't forget to thanks him.
FlyKernel by thomas1991_12: Flykernel JellyBean. Working from P.A.C. v16 and up, older (e.g. v15) not supported If you use it, don't forget to thanks him.
12. I've flashed [MOD][ICS]Camera Mod v.4.4 Cybershot Experience /
[Driver GPU Libs] New JB Adreno Driver For ICS Increase Performance
As in the thread name is, both is for IceCreamSandwich. Please read the threads! If you found it's for ICS, so it's "maybe?" not compatible with JB rom. If you found for ICS/JB roms, then you can test it for your own risk.

14. Can I use the PACman kernel in another JB ROM (FXP CM10 for example)?
Yes you can. The PACman kernel has a good selection of governors and schedulers, as well as OC/UV capability. The Wi-fi is also quite stable when compared with similar JB kernels. For any marriage to work, the wi-fi modules found within the PACman ROM zip archive (in folder: /system/lib/modules) MUST replace those within the ROM you want to pair the kernel with. If you haven’t installed the ROM the you want to use you can drag (not copy and paste) the files from the PACman ROM folder to the new ROM folder before you flash it. If you have already installed the ROM you want to use you can drag the files from the PACman ROM folder to the root of your SD card, then copy and paste them to the system/lib/modules folder on your phone using a root explorer (like ES), making sure that the system is mounted and the permissions of the files once on the phone are set correctly (i.e. check they are the same as the files you replace)… Remember to unmount system when you’ve finished and reboot.

15. my sim card is not allowed to its own provider! does anyone know what to do?
You can manually restore the APN.
or you can try and restore the apns-conf.xml by flashing the attached zip.....
if it doesn't restore automatically after rebooting, go into system settings->Wireless&Networks->More->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names
hit the menu key and then select restore default (this is also where you would find go to manually restore the APN, except you would select add new APN) attachment: see post: 1287

I applied zip, but when I try to set up the apn's and go to settings --> wireless & networks --> more... --> mobile networks --> access point names it goes back to the main settings screen and so I can't set the apn's.
Make sure you turn off any sim card lock and then turn the phone off and on to make sure it is gone. Check to see if your apn sets up automatically. If that doesn't work make sure that your provider (including country) is listed in the apns-conf.xml (it is pretty legible if you open it with notebook+).

Yes you can. The 4.2 android keyboard support only english, but you can copy LatinIME.apk from rom zip [in 4.1.2 roms the v15 has it (4.1.x keyboard), in 4.2.2 roms in all zips], and put with rootexplorer in system/app. Change permissions to rw-r--r--. Reboot and enjoy.

HOW TO USE FLASHTOOL?
Flashtool & Fastboot (XPERIADEV) or Ray Flashtool thread
HOW TO FALSH PAC ROM, IF YOU ARE A NEW ANDROID USER OR YOU UNLOCKED A BOOTLOADER FEW WEAKS AGO
Try this, slowly, carefully, exactly and in order.
1) Make sure you have a copy of the PAC ROM zip on your SD card.
2) Using Flashtool, install 4.0.4 in full, Do not exclude anything, all the wipe tick boxes checked.
3) Unplug your phone, do not turn it on.
4) On your computer, open the PAC ROM zip with WinRAR and DRAG boot.img to your desktop with your mouse. Close the ROM zip.
5) Holding volume +, plug your phone back in. The light will go blue. The Flashtool window will show connected in fastboot mode.
6) Open the Fastboot window in Flashtool and select kernel to flash. Pick the one on your desktop. Wait for it to finish (not long)
7) In the fastboot window, reboot phone into system.
8) Unplug the phone
9) The phone should start, if it doesn't then turn it on.
10) The PAC logo will appear. When the lights flash press Vol + and Vol - until the wobbly CWM recovery screen comes on.
11) do this from the menus:
Wipe data/ factory reset, then Wipe cache.
Go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache.
Hit back, go to mounts and storage, format system.
Hit back, choose zip to install, pick the PAC ROM from your SD card.
Leave the phone for about an hour alone.
Then install gapps from SD card using recovery. Pick reboot to recovery from power off menu.
You do not need xparts. The phone will go back into wobbly CWM screen. Choose zip from SD card. Choose gapps. When installed wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache again. DON'T FORMAT SYSTEM. Reboot.

Power saving
I added some lines to pac v16.1 build.prop to save more battery.
I maked it as flashable zip, so you don't need add lines manually to build.prop.
Download zip. Put it in sdcard root (or where you can find it on sdcard) Go in cwm, select "install zip from sdcard" select zip, reboot and enjoy.
This are the lines what i added:
Code:
# power saving
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
# Saves some battery without reducing performances
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
pm.sleep_mode=1
If you want to edit/delete some lines, or add your own lines just copy wechy.sh from zip, edit it with notepad++ (add your tweak line) copy back edited one into zip, and falsh it as i wrote above. Be carefull what you add to build.prop!
And of course: flash it at your own risk, i'm not responsible if you brick your phone... etc.

Detailed step-by-step guide
Be sure your bootloader is unlocked
1. Download flashtool from this thread: Flashtool thread
If you don't fion the download link: http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1353608331000 Go to "installation" and download Flashtool
2. Install flashtool.
3. Install drivers inside [C:/]flashtool/drivers restart your pc
4. Download boot.img from post #2
5. Download rom from original thread and download gapps from original thread too.
6. Copy untouched zips to sd card root.
7. Turn off your phone
8. Plug usb into Pc
9. Hold volume up when plug the other end of usb cable into phone (led lights blue)
10. Run flashtool, hit the lightning icon and select fastboot mode
11. Flash kernel YOU MUST SEE: "OKEY"
12. Disconnect usb cable
13. Turn on phone, go into recovery
And follow post #2 How to Flash PACman ROM (first time)
Battery saving tips:
1. See what's sucking the most juice. Navigate to Settings > About Phone > Battery Use to see an organized breakdown of what's consuming your phone's battery. Applications and features will display in a descending list of battery hogs. If you see an application you barely use or a feature you never use, uninstall the app or turn off the feature.
You can download BetterBatteryStats from xda
2. Turn unnecessary hardware features off It's great that today's phones have 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, but do you really need all four activated 24 hours per day? (Use toggles and enable/disable it)
3. Dump unnecessary home screen widgets and live wallpaper. Just because they're sitting on the home screen, seemingly inactive, doesn't mean they're not consuming power. That goes for widgets that poll status updates in the background, as well as ones that just sit there but look pretty and animated—not to mention animated live wallpaper.
4. Screen rotation - use with toggle. enable it, if you really want to with toggle
5. Google play store - Do you need realy that google play looks for updates in 24 h a day? Or you can check it manually when you are at home with wifi?
In playstore settings disable Notification, Auto-update apps, Auto-add widgets and Google AdMobs Ads.
6. Are you 0/24 on net? Enable with toggle only 2g, and disable it, when you use internet browsing mail download etc.
7. Keep an eye on signal strength. If you're in an area with low signal strength, the phone will work harder to latch onto a strong-enough cellular signal. This has an adverse effect on battery life. If your phone switching all the time from 3g to 2g, then you shoul enable only 2g, then the phone doesn't look for 3g network.
8. Most of widget/apps has a update time chooser. Set weather widgets/apps update time to 1 hour.
9. Sometimes i use Google maps, but location is off by me. If you dont want share you location with others then disable it in setting (so the phone does not attempt to determine your place on the basis of transmission towers)
10. I'm almost certain, that after turning wifi off the battery drain is much higher than normally...
justmpm I think this is pretty normal...it will depend a lot on how you set up you 3g/2g settings. Syncing, location tracking, and google maps can all really burn up the battery. If you don't want to fiddle around optimizing every little network app....you can use something like Green Power from the play store. You can set this up to turn off the wifi and data network when the screen goes off....the good thing about Green Power is that you can set it up to wake up every so often to sync your emails, facebook, and whatever else you want. When I have it installed, I usually have it off for 15 minutes and then turn on to sync for 1 minute (it will keep the network open until all the traffic is done, so it won't cut things off if they take > 1 minute to download). I think the default setting for this is off for 5 minutes, on for 1. Even these settings can really extend your battery if your wifi or 3g/2g networks are causing a lot of battery drain.

With this settings you can reach 2 days maybe 3 with low usage.
If someone has other usefull idea, than i edit this post.
Hi all,
Just to share this script for convenience. It's mainly for those who use AllShare Cast dongle but prefer custom kernel/recovery. You need to edit the script settings to provide the path of your prefered stock kernel/recovery (get from sammobile.com or from the list below). Please remember to extract the *.img if it's an archive. Refer below for details.
Notes:
If you're upgrading the script, just remember to copy over the script settings 'Begin Settings' to 'End Settings'. Custom kernel/recovery settings are no longer needed as of v0.2. Existing images will be retrieved directly from device, so you can upgrade custom kernel/recovery without modifying the script settings.
Stock kernel/recovery images:
MF2-BOOT-RECOVERY-N7100.zip.
MF2-BOOT-RECOVERY-N7105.zip.
AllShare Cast compatible Custom ROMs:
(N7100) Moon Rom V9 - confirmed by xastunts.
(N7105) JD€VIL S€RI€S INT€RNΔTIΩNΔL {roms} T€AM ZΩDIΔC - confirmed by alexdr1.
Change log:
v0.1 - 1st release (-:
----------------------
Script is to perform a one step click from custom to stock kernel/recovery while also reseting the flash counter using CF's TriangleAway. The system will stay stock but rooted until the next reboot. E.g. I would run custom kernel/recovery for daily use, I'll execute the script once if I need to use the AllShare Cast dongle, then just reboot when done to auto revert back to custom kernel/recovery.
As long as your phone is supported by TriangleAway, this script should work. Tested only on stock rom, you will have to find out if your custom rom works with AllShare Cast dongle. Until someone managed to figure out how to enable this, we need to have stock kernel/recovery to use the AllShare Cast dongle.
Script requires root, also needs busybox and Chainfire's TriangleAway, both installer available from Google Play Store. Optionally you can get the Script Manager app to create a widget shortcut of this script to the home screen. Finally, I'm not responsible to any risk taken by you for using this script.
v0.2
----------------------
Get images from device, custom settings no longer needed.
Skipped TA flash kernel to speed up initial reboot.
Direct SU execution, incase not running as root.
Improve path with spaces and script clean up.
v0.3
----------------------
Revised device detection for custom roms.

thanks for the boot image and the recovery img file! i just been thinking abit about this and i would like if you perhaps could explain how to use this step by step.
you said that after youre been running this script and wants to go back to ur custom rom and kernel again you only needs to reboot and it takes u right back to where you where. how does it nows which kernel and recovery i used? does it back it up?
when i look at this picture you attached here at "the begin settings" its a path for stock kernels /sdcard/document/backups/bla bla bla and then/boot.img
and same for the recovery but /recovery.img at the end.
and next is custom kernel/recovery image path.
kernel /sdcard/download/perseus-alpha-n7100/boot.img
and recovery /sdcard/download/twrp/openrecovery/recovery.img
i made the file folders shorter just to understand and explain it more quicker i know this is the very correct file folders.
u understand my point right? there is a 2 file needed for stock kernel and recovery boot.img, recovery.img
and 2 more files for the custom kernel and recovery boot.img, recovery.img.
in the zip file you attached there is only 1 set of 2 files boot.img, recovery.img.
so my question is what do i do with this files then??
if you just please could explain step by step. like
step1 install busy box
step 2 install triangle away
step 3 run script manager and add script
step 4 execute script and done
something like this! thank you for your effort and sorry if it sounds like i complain to much i just want to make sure we dont brick our devices
doing something wrong here! thanks!!
haha no problem, u got it all right about the files and steps. The zip files I posted contains stock kernel and recovery from latest N7100 MF2 rom (so u don't have to download the 1GB full rom from sammobile). Sorry for the short description, did all those scripting and posting on the phablet :crying: Also sorry for the long paths, its binded to my external sdcard and its how I organize my files
Below are the detailed steps:
1) Install busybox (Usually custom kernel has this, but not the latest. Recommended to install at /system/xbin/ because rom may go haywire if installed in /system/bin/).
2) Install the ultimate magic, TriangleAway from Chainfire (Launch the TA app at least once to download the flash kernel).
3) Settings 1 & 2 are your preferred STOCK kernel/recovery full path (the ones I posted from dropbox). Filenames doesn't have to be boot/recovery.img. You can place them anywhere even in external sdcard
4) Settings 3 & 4 are your preferred CUSTOM kernel/recovery full path (extract the *.img from the tar or zip you got from the developer). Filenames doesn't have to be boot/recovery.img. You can place them anywhere even in external sdcard
5) Setting 5 is the busybox path where you installed earlier.
6) Optionally install Script Manager and add this script to run as root(SU). You can add a widget to this script onto your home screen for easy script execution.
how does it nows which kernel and recovery i used?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It doesn't know, this is where settings 1 to 4 being used. It's to use tell the script that I want to use these stock and custom kernel/recovery images during the operation. So remember to update the settings if you update to a newer kernel/recovery in the future.
How it works it that, you use your custom kernel/recovery daily, then at one time you need to use AllShare Cast, all you need is just to run the script once. It will flash the stock kernel/recovery (from settings 1 & 2), reboot and let TriangleAway reset the counter and bootup with the stock kernel/recovery (again from settings 1 & 2), . When you are done with the AllShare Cast, just reboot. Your custom kernel/recovery (from settings 3 & 4), will be auto restored.
The long winded way to make AllShare Cast works is to manually flash stock kernel/recovery, reset counter using TriangleAway in recovery mode, use AllShare Cast, then reflash custom kernel/recovery again. This script cuts the hassle into 1 :laugh:

How it works it that, you use your custom kernel/recovery daily, then at one time you need to use AllShare Cast, all you need is just to run the script once. It will flash the stock kernel/recovery (from settings 1 & 2), reboot and let TriangleAway reset the counter and bootup with the stock kernel/recovery (again from settings 1 & 2), . When you are done with the AllShare Cast, just reboot. Your custom kernel/recovery (from settings 3 & 4), will be auto restored.
The long winded way to make AllShare Cast works is to manually flash stock kernel/recovery, reset counter using TriangleAway in recovery mode, use AllShare Cast, then reflash custom kernel/recovery again. This script cuts the hassle into 1 :laugh:

do u think u can help me with that? i got the triangle away apk from google, but i have started the app and pressed reset flash counter it was 40 and now its 0 so that part worked. maybe i just need the flash kernel now? maybe u can pls send me the flash kernel?
edit actually i got it here on xda but i searched from google to find it. TriangleAway-v3.00.apk
6) Optionally install Script Manager and add this script to run as root(SU). You can add a widget to this script onto your home screen for easy script execution.
I did :laugh:
Once u launch TriangleAway for the 1st time, it will auto download the flash kernel. Now that u already reset the counter, u can continue run the script.
Can u confirm its there?

if you send me that file and i put it in that folder it might even not work as the program itself should know the file is there. but i could try that if u dont mind.

Intro:
Even though there a lot of articles on how to root most of them are not detailed and still many of you out there who have still not rooted your phone this guide will guide you.
I've gone through lots of articles on how to install CWM recovery , How to Root Canvas HD but almost all of them are not noob friendly and you just don't understand them. As a new user i myself took days to get acclimatized to rooting.........
This is a noob friendly guide to root and install CWM recovery both on 4.1 and 4.2 versions.Everyone can go through this!
Sources & Thanks.
1) Thanks to XDA i've taken a lot of resources from XDA.
2) Thanks to developer of motochopper.
3) Thanks to developer of mobile uncle tools.
4) Thanks to micromax for a beautiful device.
5) Taken help from google.
First what is rooting?
Rooting is a process allowing users of Smartphone’s, tablets, and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as “root access”) within Android’s subsystem. Basically rooting is performed to overcome the limitation that wireless service providers and hardware manufacture of android phone put on some devices. If your android mobile is rooted that means you are the SUPER USER on your android cell phone and you get ability to customize or replace system applications. This little word rooting provide you power to run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions and perform another operation which are inaccessible to a normal android.
I think this should be more than enough and you would have already spent your time on this!! Hope so
Now what is CWM recovery?
All of the Android devices consign with a recovery assuage that is a basic partition on the device's internal memory and also can be booted into it. The stock recovery of almost all of the Android devices provide a few basic yet useful options that allow us to factory reset our device, clearly it is cache partitioning, and bring back its operating system using an official ROM in zip format, but that is the only thing you can do with it. This is the reason where a custom recovery becomes handy.
A custom Android recovery initially replaces all the stock recovery with the one that lets you to do all that you can with the stock recovery, plus a overabundance of options that give us a lot more control on the device. With a custom recovery, you can install official and unofficial ROMs as well as other updates also including hacks, themes, kernels.Using zip files, wipe not just user data but every standard partition on our device, ascend the storage card for USB mass storage access without leaving recovery, partition your SD card, wipe dalvik cache and battery status, fix the permissions, perform, manage and restore backups, and so on.
This is where CWM recovery comes in our aid!!
There is also another very popular recovery named TWRP which many developers still recommend but still a major drawback is that many ROM developers still prefer CWM so i say go with CWM!

So warranty is there , i have read some where there are some clock timer issues on phones which enables the service center guys to differentiate the rooted phone ? is it true? kindly guide.

Welcome,
For your first question,
At this stage you will not be able to take the backup of the entire ROM since as you don't have CWM. But in case if you're already rooted then download titanium backup pro and use the backup all feature and in case if you've not rooted then follow this process. Backup all your contacts to your gmail account using the sync option. Then backup messages and call log if you want through some backup app like snap pea. Then download app uninstaller from playstore a free app and backup all the apks ( second or third option don't remember exactly) then backup this file to your PC ( the file name is android it will have the folder data inside it and sometimes another folder obb copy both).
SO by now you have a backup.
Now coming to your second question,
Yes the unrooting will work without any problem You just have to go to the settings and click full unroot and its over! You're worried too much i think no just do full unroot and they wont be able to identify it if you still have doubt then after unrooting you can factory reset your phone and then there is almost no chance the customer care guys find it out.

No after you click on recovery update it will just flash the new recovery and in this case CWM recovery it will not make any backup or so.
But since you're rooted( if i remember properly) then use titanium backup pro to backup whatever you need. But at thi moment you cant backup the entire rom as you've still not flashed CWM!
