[Q] Installing a new Version of my ROM (Starburst) - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
im pretty new to custom ROMs and i cant ask this in the Starburst Thread because of the > 10 posts rule.
I currently have an older version of Starburst with Data2SD running perfectly on my Desire. Now theres a new version out and i want to update.
The things i would do now:
1. Nandroid backup everything of course.
2. Flash the new ROM
3. Immediately flash the Data2sd Reinstall zip
4. Profit ??
Will i keep all my apps and their settings with this method ?
Sorry for this low-level question but i couldnt find an answer anywhere to this.
Thank you.

That is correct!
Everything that you have asked is answered in the original post in the starburts thread

The 10 post rule ? Thats only for asking questions on a thread ?
It should not hamper your ability to read the thread ?
Its amazing what you can find out without asking questions ?

First of all thanks Raymond for your answer.
Thanks also to you mark for repeating what raymond said but instead with pointless flaming.
I hate people who cant read as much as the next guy but can you please show me where exactly in the Starburst OP the answer to my question is ? (I also read most of the thread, nothing there too.)
It seems like this knowledge is so basic that it doesnt get mentioned anywhere anymore.
Edit: Maybe I should have made my OP clearer: My only question was if i will keep all my apps and settings when flashing a new ROM version. Dunno why i repeated the installation steps, but my whole reason for this thread was to ask about the apps & settings, which doesnt get answered in the Starburst thread.

if you back up your stuff with something like mybackup you should be ok ? If you do a nand and the back up dont work you can alway use that ?
Best option to try if your feeling lucky is back up then nand then just flash over ? Worst that can happen is you need to restore the nand ?

[Q] Question about Official T-Mobile US OTA Update 2.2.1 Froyo 34.4.9

I just downloaded the 2.2.1 Froyo 34.4.9 update.zip and am really anxious to give it a try. I'm kinda new at this, I have a rooted Defy (Superoneclick method) and I did root and flash a custom ROM on my CliqXT (adb push method) and have both working good. So, I'm not completely dumb to this stuff but I read in a couple of the thread posts that some people have had issues with 3G and WiFi after installing this update. I do believe that troubleshooting that stuff might be a bit over my head so I'm just wondering if this has been an on going issue or if its rare? If I follow the posted instructions correctly do I have a good chance at ending up with a trouble free version of Foyo? FYI...My Defy is Rooted (factory ROM) 2.1 update1 with Blur Version 3.6.36 and I have a Nandroid backup.
I wasnt sure where to post my previous question since I found the info in the Dev's forums, but I guess because I haven't posted at least 10 times I wasn't allowed to post my question in the Dev's thread I got the .zip from. Funny because I saw a post from someone that didnt even know what "root of the sd card" was but they're allowed to post in that thread. Not trying to offend anyone just making an observation. New to this site so I'm just learning the rules.
I dont think you should be so anxious I upgraded today and the only issue was that it was initially a bit slow but after a few minutes everything was zipping along perfectly.. My 3g is just fine and my Wifi as well. I was able to reroot using superoneclick (update undoes root), and overclock using milestone-overclock app.
I was getting near a near 1000 quadrant score at stock b4 overclocking and got in the 1400's after overclocking to 1200mhz @80.
If you follow the directions it should work no prob.. Welcome to froyo
Those problems you mentioned only apply to the leaked FroYo SBF files. And it only affects those that flash the SBFs to phones that are not specific to that SBF.
I flashed the leaked FroYo for T-Mo USA on my T-Mo USA Defy and had no problems.
You should be fine with the official update.
If you can, please make a nandroid after you update and post it here...
Thanks!

On the Moto forum an Admin is asking for any issues discovered by those who have updated to 2.2. Not sure if this means they're still trying to sort it.

"Common Folks?" Wow, I hope that wasnt supposed to be some kind of insult. You should remember something, its us "common folks" that have the clean Nandroid backups the Dev's seem to be needing, its us "Common Folks" that flash the custom ROMS and donate to the Dev's in appreciation for their hard work. But if us "common folk" aren't welcome here then I can leave because the last time I checked I was able to root and install custom ROMS on both of my phones without your help. Not bad for "common folk"
Lol you took my comment way out of context. I'm not a dev. I don't even have a defy. I'm about intermediate android when it comes to roms, flashing, etc.
I simply meant that, until now, you needed to root, install custom os, etc to get froyo.

Ok, sorry about that. The official OTA 2.2 release was done for a limited time a month or so ago (supportforums.motorola.com/thread/44255?start=0&tstart=0). I have a rooted Defy with custom recovery and download the update.zip from the Dev's forum. Sorry if I wasnt clear about that.
Hi! So what about that nandroid?

I havent installed the OS yet. I got a little more research to do but once I do it I'll be happy to provide the Nandroid. I have a couple questions about the current status of my SD card that I wanna look into first. Hopefully i'll be running Froyo in the next day or so and will provide the Nandroid ASAP.
I would like to know if I have Clockwork Recovery installed, can I still flash the official rom using the Update.zip file on SD card? Thanks.
Just want to be clear on the Nandroid backup. Are you asking me to make the backup right after flashing new OS before anything else gets installed? Basically a stock Defy running Froyo? If you give me details on what you're wanting it'll help alot with my learning process and it'll help make sure that you get what you're looking for. And does a Nandroid backup contain all info thats on SD card?
Yes, a Nandroid right after you update so that none of your data is on there and everything is stock.
Nope, the contents of the SD Card are not included when you make a Nandroid...
Thank you, your help is appreciated!

Do you have any suggestions as to how to backup? I rooted the official (beta) tmous 2.2 with superoneclick (Z4 didn't work), and tried to install tenfars recovery module, however, it won't work with this rom. Is there another one that you suggest to use?
Try this one: kb7sqi's Recovery
Also, have you tried disabling USB Debugging before booting to recovery on Tenfar's Recovery?
You'll have to do that for it to work. The same goes for kb7sqi's Recovery.
Nasty bug or something...

this version doesn't work on this rom either...and the updated version was pulled.
Replied to your PM.
You can use Tenfar's and even kb7's old one. They both work.
You just need to disable USB Debugging before rebooting to recovery...

Yes, you can downgrade. One thing you have to remember - NEVER EVER flash leaked 2.3 Motorola ROMs straight to your phone. You have to use fixed releases with Nandroid backup that you restore via Clockwork and special SBF to flash immediately afterward.
Cyanogenmod and MIUI (most popular 2.3 ROMs) are pretty much safe.
Hi thanks for your reply, and just an update on this ,
I am now running 2.3.4 fine with no problems only bit i dont quite understand is the overclocking values mentiond in the guide i followd, but i suppose there is no need to overclockk for my use at this time maybe i will learn it in the future, i have installd all the software to do it.
here is the brilliant guide i followd, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135901

Assuming you are coming from 2.3 (Eg CM7), the gist:
While starting up the phone press and hold volume up to go into bootloader mode.
Connect to computer via USB and start RSD Lite (version 4.9) and flash your 2.2 SBF (Look at sticky on dev forum) from which you had originally created the nandroid backup.
Load it up, root, restore nandroid to get back applications and data.
Search dev forum for complete guide.

2.2.4??

Maybe your right and i have got mixed up with numbers at moment i am running 2.3.4 but maybe i was running 2.2.2 before, it was definat 2.2 so if .4 is not heard of then i will go with .2 but looking in that thread there is no orange UK version do you know how i get this or is there a diffrent one/version i could use, and is the version information able to be pulld from my nandroid backup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126907 <-- this version sais it is UK and doesnt mention Carrier specific so guess this is the one to use for me, So to confirm do i follow the same set of instructions as before from here " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135901 " but change "shadow4.5.1-134nandroid" for my own nandroid backup and "shadow4.5.1-134fixed.sbf" for "FixedSBF_3.4.2-177UK.sbf" from this thread " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126907 " or is the Non-Fixed Full sbf better to use.?
thanks again

[Q] there is noobs here we r not all devs !!! so take it easy on us

oh people come on i really appreciate all the work your doing here but your talking about flashing custom roms and unlooking boot loader !!! and stuff like that but the thing is i don't even know how to install a cutom roms and i'm sure there r many guys like me out there so please be easy on us so here what i want to know and i'm sure if you answered this topic it's gonna be a useful one
1-do we need to backup out things from phone memory and sd card before unlocking our phones using the new htc dev thing ? and if yes so how to make a full back up ?
2- we will do the unlock boot loader thing and there is a good tutorials out there
3- after unlocking the boot loader i think we have to do a complete wipe or some thing like that and then flash a cutom rom right ? so please tell us how to do that wipe thing and install a rom and which rom is the most stable one out there
4- can i go back to the old rom which is htc 2.3.5 if i didn't like that boot thing
5- with custom roms is it posible to install apps from the market ? and what are the deferences in general between the 2.3.5 official and any rom i will install after rooting ?
thank you for reading this post all, i'm asking for is an easy 1 2 3 .... complete guide for noobs
Well, problem is not you guys are new. Neither your lack of knowledge about the topics.
Mostly the problem is that people do not read and open new threads for topics already existing. I wrote 2 tutorials and I think I wrote them a way new users can understand.
Using a searching machine or forums search is no advanced topic. When I was new to it all, I spend like 2-3 days of reading and finding out myself.
So, look at our point of view: we write tutorials that are detailed and answer questions all about in the respective threads. We can't write a whole tutorial again for everyone not willing to read.
And to almost all questions, there already is an answer. And I think if you want to do stuff with your phone you should search and read. then you still can ask questions. But often people come here this way: Hi, I'm new, now tell me exactly what I have to do.
theq86 first of all i appreciate your time
but you can't judge me !!!! i spent 2 days reading and searching all i could find was people talking about new roms and stuff like that and expressions that i don't understand
and i tried to the search tool btw if u type noob you will find tons of suggestions with no match topics
so i'm not taking the easy way or any thing
and rather than complaining from my post you can point me to those threads your talking about for new comers it would have been nice of u
I don't blame you in particular, I just give examples. So sorry if you understood it that way.
Well, here we go:
1-do we need to backup out things from phone memory and sd card before unlocking our phones using the new htc dev thing ? and if yes so how to make a full back up ?

Yes, I'd recommend that. You can backup all your PIM data (calendar, cntacts, messages) with MyPhoneExplorer. If you have synced everything with google you can restore it afterwards with a full sync. But I'd recommend MyPhoneExplorer, because you have your data on pc then.
During the process of unlocking the phone and all of it's data will be reset!
2- we will do the unlock boot loader thing and there is a good tutorials out there

When you flash a custom rom, be sure to wipe the cache partition, the dalvik-cache and the data partition. otherwise bootloops or malfunctions could appear. Wiping all these is very easy once you have a custom recovery tool.
4- can i go back to the old rom which is htc 2.3.5 if i didn't like that boot thing

You can go back to stock rom. But this will not recover your warranty. You can even lock the bootloader again if you really wish. How to do so is stated in my bootloader unlock tutorial, too.

Yes, in case you use the cyanogenmod rom you will have to insall the google apps manually, but market is available on every rom.
The differences between stock rom are manifold:
themes and designs can differ
custom roms often include fixes and tweaks to improve device speed, stability and battery life.
Most roms are debloated. So never used apps are removed.

thank you very much for your time i really appriciate it , but i still have some more questions
1- after unlocking my bootloader do i have to install a custom rom or can i keep using my current 2.3.5 i understand that it will be like starting from scratch
2- what is the clock recovery mod and where to find it and how to use it " in this question i'm using the easy way beacuse i know i'll find info about this thing if i searched the fourm but who want's to take the hard way thank's to you "
3- i've read some thing about adding an sd card partition to the phone memory or some thing like that please give me a full description about this thing and can i add this partition to my current stock rom after unlocking the bootloader with out installing a custom rom if it's possible ?
oh sorry i forgot 1 more question
people are saying that cyeanogen rom is the best but i keep reading that it's not an official realese and the radio and wirless and camera etc ... is not worknig but there is the 7.2 version i saw recntly on the dev section which is said to work perfectly so is it stable ? it it fast ? do you recomend me to use it ? i'm asking this question beacuse i noticed you r a cyanogen mod fan
and to install any rom of course i'll have to do these steps
1- flash the clock recovery mod which you will point me to how to use it
2- flash the custom rom and that's every thing
and to flash these things i but them on the root folder on my sd and disable the fasy boot option then turn of the phone and power t up holding the volume down button and it will do the magic am i right ?
Search on marketplace for clockwork mod - use it to boot to recovery mode - then, if you have a flashable zip rom stored in the root folder of your phone you can just flash the rom from there - best to backup and wipe first

you are the rude one here , you cant blame a decent guy as theq86 for not being as rude as you, and you can't blame a new comer like me for his lack of information
so if You Haven't Got Anything Good to Say, Please Shut Up
After reading through this thread and chuckling a little bit, I came to the conclusion that rooting may not be for you, iximedaixi. Not to be mean or anything. But the guides here are excellent. I'm just saying that it might be something for you to consider because the WFS makes an expensive paperweight.
Theq86, you are too kind.

you are too arrogant and selfish, take a note that alreade few people in the few posts here said that to you.
Be kind and don't spam. Try to understand when you are false and "shut up"... that was not kind at all.
anyway - I hope your willingness not to gain knowledge will change!
almost everybody does when grow up

EDIT:
one more thing, please read the forum rules:
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.

actually it's the exams season here in my country so i don't have much time to search the forum i guess i'll wait till the end of the exams and do it the hard way
but thank you anyway

Please welcome me?

Hi guys, first off im a user of Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 and swapped it to a 2nd hand HTC Desire HD. To make it short, i want to learn every single thing about this device as how i knew my beloved SGSL. I've read almost all guides for newbies and it helps me alot.
Just want to clarify these questions of mine.
1. What is RUU?
2. A little confused about hboot/fastboot. Cause in my past device there is only Recovery and Download mode wherein in Recovery you wipe cache/dalvikflash custom rom through zip and Download mode is needed when flashing stock rom using ODIN.
3. We use Odin in my SGSL in flashing stock roms. How about here?
4. Is there an internal to external SD swap here? So datas of games will go to external sd card?
5. I want my HTC HD in stock AGAIN. What should i check first before doing anything? After checking whats next?
6. Cant find a list of stock roms here? What do you guys use? the codename like DDLF2 XXKPQ like that.
I'm really sorry. I know you how i feel now, im feeling excited while making this thread at the same time nervous of negative comments and a feeling of unwelcomed in this community. Please bare with me, not a SO NOOB in android and i am a fast learner. Thanks and Godbless to everyone!
Anyone? Please held a hand?
Have you read the Ace Think Tank thread OP? If not, I advise that you do so. Come back if you still have questions.
EDIT: please also only bump once every 24 hours under XDA rules.
Yes ive understand though still have quesions unanswered there. I now understand that RUU is the app used to go back to stock firmware right. So, should i use that first sir? coz i want to start from gingerbread stock and learn everything up ahead. Im from Philippines so maybe i should use latest WWE RUU? Is there no pre requisites in doing this? Thanks for the response. Appreciated.

[Q] WIpe phone completely

Hey guys!
Is it possible to wipe my Htc one m8 Completely firmware,Kernal, Etc.
because i've used the last 3 days on trying to fix my phone and there is always another problem after another..
when i install a Rom, Wifi wont work,
when i use a stock Nandroid backup it wont let me install OTA's with stock recovery.
so i thought the problem must be the kernel or firmware. but i cant find any methods to downgrade or upgrade those without S-off
Thanks in advance !

You are covering your issues there so add the new ones there too
Please avoid creating multiple related questions in the same forum. It makes answering them and keeping track of them rather difficult.
Suggest you consolidate your questions in your existing thread HERE
I will help by editing the Title of that thread.
