Hey !
This is my first post in XDA and i hope that it follows the rules and it's in the right section !
Well i'm a little novice in these flashing procedure that's why i spent my last 3 days in reading the beginners "how to" !
I'm interested by flashing my i9000 to the last XXJVT 2.3.5 and i have a question related to the Kernel ! I didn't find a post talking about it !
Well if i flash my i9000 with the 2.3.5 ROM using Odin, will that flash the Kernel part also ? or should i updated separately ?
Another thing before i finish, i have a native download and recovery modes, does that eliminates the full brick probability ?
Thank you very much for any help
Yes! Kernel will be flashed to stock...
You can always Odin-flashed a custom kernel after getting into stock...
i9000 is actually hard to break, if you follow closely to the flashing instructions...
Oceangreen, thanks that's what i wanted to know !
I'm using recently bought un-rooted Galaxy Gio (S5660XXKQ5) with stock 2.3.4 ROM. The reception has been pretty bad right from the start and few days ago I read that the reason for that might be the modem of my current stock ROM.
The question is - can I just flash new modem via Odin without rooting the phone and installing custom ROM? Is there a collection of S5660 modems somewhere?
HI !!!
Hi!
same new member here...
this analogy maybe ll help you...
which one do you think is greater, the brand new car that hasn't been modified or the modified car that its components, including engine, brake, and body has been modified into the best one???...
when you play NFS or GT sure you ll upgrade your car components, right?
same like the custom rom compared to the stock...
even the stock has a lot of problems..
here mine when i bought, i got nothing special with my gio with 2.2.1 stock FW
even the galaxy mini is better comparing to gio with the stock in GPS test
so u better root you phone, without being care about the MOdulator-DEModulator stuff and going to new custom rom
there are a lot of Best rom in the Android Development forum like the one created by phiexz, search yourself
to have custom rom sure you have to root your device, and don't think it's complicated that you should get other's help
u can do yourself
1.)search the root tutorial based on your current rom (when i first root my phone i used superoneclick, but if it's kinda complicated, seach another way)
2.)then install Clockworkmod Recovery, download in the market or else by the name ROM Manager (or the customized CWM)
3.)download the rom (complete components, if existed)
4.)flash the rom by rebooting into recovery... (don't care about rooting again, u ll find most of the rom will be automatically rooted with new CWM, and a2sd enabler)
5.)short tutorial above depends on the rom you ll be flashed
i'm a bit being advisor, hope u dont mind...
I know all the advantages of having a custom ROM but this time I'm really interested in replacing my modem to get better reception. Could it be done?
Hi Team,
First of all i would like to thank each of you'll for sharing your knowledge & helping all individuals who get stuck.
I am a new member in this forum as well as new to rooting. I have read few rooting threads & am excited too to get additional space in my phone.
I am using the phone for more than a year & now my apps list is growing. But the sad part is i have to do away with one app to install the new one as the phone is always out of space.
HTC Wildfire S
Location : India
Android Ver : 2.3.5
HTC Sense Ver : 2.1
Software Number : 2.26.720.3
I request if anyone can help me in getting the below questions answered or can guide me to respective link where i can get answers:
1.How to backup the phone.
2.In case if i need to unroot & get back to the same stock rom, how do i do this.
3.Which is the best stable rom that runs all the applications.
4.My daily use includes: Camera, Camcoder, Internet, Internet pass through, bluetooth. Any stable rom which do not have issues with these applications.
5.Which one is better, WildChild Ver 3, CynogenMod or other, please help with the version also.
6.I wish to root the phone & install a custom ROM, however there should always be a way to go back & undo, as i cannot afford to get a new phone.:laugh:
Thanks in advance to all who would be helping me in answering all or any of the questions.
Will love to see the xperience from those who have already installed the custom ROM.

Hi,
Welcome to XDA
1. Take backup of your personal data first (Like: Contact, Pics, Videos, docs,etc..)
2. You can get beck to your old STOCK ROM. After rooting your device you will take a complete NANDROID BACKUP, which will restore your previous one. (When needed).
3. I would suggest you to go for the Disciplexone ROM or WildChild 3. Disciplexone ROM was doing good for me, when I had it before CM9.
4. You will get more options than in your list.
You never have to worry about anything, since the device will make wonders after you root. (But more caution required).
Hope this may be useful. (If really press 'Thanks').

Hey welcome here.
1. There are many ways to take backup. I suggest you take a nandroid backup (i.e. backup with cwm recovery) just after you flash a custom recovery. It'll restore the phone in as it is state if something goes wrong.
For apps and all i generally use Titanium Backup. It works great.
2. There is a thread for stock ROMs in Android Development Forum here. You'll find yours there.
3. Umm That is a tuff question. For me CM9 does but it has some minor bugs if they don't affect you.. JB is still in development so I won't recommend it. Go for CM7 or any GB rom as they are mostly free of bugs.
4. Disciple1's ROM, Sense 3.5 EQDKP, Wildchild and CM7.
5. I don't know what to say about it as I installed the first version of WC3 and I came back to CM9 in a day. It was really unstable for me. Maybe just me.
6. Just unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery and then make a nandroid. the bootloader will be unaffected though.
7. Oh there aren't any.

There you have the oficial CyanogenMod 7 rom support, instalation and development issues support.
In my opinion it is the best 2.3 alternative rom for p350.
The steps i know only in portuguese, but i believe i will find it in this link too.
The factory installed apps, the most one you will install with a Google package inside this link too.
The others you can download again on play store.
following a different guide i was trying to install CM Invasion V2 ROM.. i never got to the flashing ROM part... i was backing up the current ROM unsing ROM manager and my cell fone bricked... after banging my head... looking for solutions on the net and again banging my head... i finally was able to revive my cell fone (using kdz updater)... all this is a risky business
can anyone give me a near perfect guide for flashing ROM without using ROM manager.. please..
You'll have to flash a custom recovery first. Amonra is very stable. Then you can make a nandroid backup of your current rom from the recovery for you to go back to. Flash the rom you like and enjoy. If you need to do back to your original rom, just restore back from your nandroid backup

now flash recovery by going on thread then do steps
for flashing roms do following steps on recovery
1.creat nandroid backup only once not for everytime you flash
2.then go in wipe section and wipe all data
3.then go to flash zip manu and find rom then flash
4.sometimes some rom needs advanced steps for flashing like cm 7 official needs to format/system(steps for it it mentioned by the developer on his thread)
done reboot then enjoy flashing.
hope this will help you...........................
in future do not install recovery from rom manager it will brick your phone untill it gets perfect for our device
Remember we have a wiki page for this phone with an all-in-one guide for modifying it (rooting, recovery, custom rom installation, troubleshooting). I try to keep it updated, nice and clean (kinda hard some times).
About Android versions: The Optimus ME comes with Froyo (2.2) there is no other official firmware for it. CyanogenMod 7 is based on Gingerbread (2.3) which now has official support and is working pretty good now (yes, previous versions were slow, buggy but now they're pretty stable)... Honeycomb (3.0) is only for tablets, so it's not coming to P350. CyanogenMod 9 is based on Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), which for this device is still a work in progress, so don't expect a timeline nor a soon release. CyanogenMod 10 based on Jelly Bean (4.1) is still a myth for the P350...
I hope to have answered your questions...

Hello there!
I purchased the new HTC One M8 and it is just AMAZING!
I came from Galaxy SIII... and the differences are huge and I don't regret my move
Anyways, when flashing something on SIII and rooting the device was VERY simple and user-friendly..
I could change ROMs without any problem and knew every step and step.
But after checking how to install a costum room on the M8 I feel like I don't understand anything.
I need a really detailed guide to how to flash a costum ROM? what do I need for it? how to root the device? what is S-OFF S-ON..?
I really know nothing about how to flash costum ROMs to HTC device ...
And I don't know where to start from and which ROM to choose, so please i'd like to have a very detailed step by step guide for rooting + flashing costum ROMs
Thanks!
