Hi guys.
I have done some searching but cant quite find out a full answer or a link to the rom download. I want to update my Desire to Froyo now and am not bothered about the branding of Virgin Mobile etc. Can someone point me in the direction of a guide of how to do this or explain it for me. At this point my desire is rooted and I have a gold card but I cant find the right rom and dont know if I need a new radio for it to work.
Any help much appreciated.
James
Can't you just debrand and install the update? The update will update your radio (I think).
Hi again. Thanks for the reply mate and yes you are correct I can. Problem was I didn't know how to do it as I couldn't find info on a rooted and branded phone.
Anyway just for anyone else that needs to know I did mine by creating a gold card. I dont know if this was an important part to do but you may as well as its very easy but will wipe you SD Card so backup anything you need.
I then debranded to this ROM
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
this one would not upgrade and came back with an error when trying to install the Froyo update.
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
The process of debranding is easy and done by just running the file you download with the phone connected. Some things to check though are that you have HTC Sync and the ADK installed so you get all the drivers and reboot your PC. The ROM File you run when downloaded will guide you through the steps but mine would not detect the phone after it rebooted the phone to bootloader mode. To get round this I left the phone connected and restarted the ROM Install program and all went well.
This gives you a Debranded phone and all that remains is to upgrade to Froyo via the SD Card.
|Here are the instructions I followed:
Steps to install Froyo on HTC Desire
Step 1: Download the Android 2.2 firmware for the Desire (I got mine here http://hotfile.com/dl/58947725/9565...8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip.html)
Step 2: Rename the file update.zip and copy it to your microSD card via USB. [Note: make sure the file is named update.zip and not update.zip.zip.]
Step 3: Power down your Desire.
Step 4: Hold down the “Volume Down” button as you power the phone back on.
Step 5: A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. Scroll down to “recovery” and press the “Power” button.
Step 6: When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the “Power” and “Volume Up” buttons at the same time.
Step 7: From the menu that appears, select “Apply sdcard:update.zip.”
Step 8: When the screen displays “Install from sdcard complete” select “reboot system now” and wait for the phone to power back up.

Hi james, i too have a VM desire and want to install froyo. which of the above roms work for doing the froyo update as your post is unclear which allows you to upgrade???
also when you did the unbrand and update did you lose all your apps and settings(data and text etc) and how are you finding froyo, is it improved on the VM branded software??
thanks in advance....
hi mate you are right it is unclear! The top ROM RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed is the one that worked. The other i tried first and gave me an error.
If you do as I did you will lose all apps, data and settings.
Froyo is defo worth the upgrade just for the 720 recording. it is also quicker but this is not as noticiable on a phone like the desire.
If you fancy going for it just make sure you have an apk file for all your apps and my advice is to make google you contact manager as i wiped my phone and it came back with all my contact and contact photos just by entering my google account. if you have any probs just pm me and if i can help i will.
good luck
james
Thanks for the fast reply James, already got that ROM and goldcard ready to go , going to try update tomorrow, used mybackup pro to backup my apps and settings, i want froyo for installing apps on sd card but have been reading mixed reviews over signal and wifi dropping out, going to give it a go anyhow, will let you know how i get on , thanks again for the info....
i have no wifi or network issues YET lol
btw the phone sorts out all the apn's and messaging numbers automatically so you dont need to worry. well i didn't on my phone. i havent entered any setting manually it did it all auto
Hi again james, none of those roms you posted would work for me , keep getting errors when trying to debrand.
i have now rooted my phone using unrevoked3 and i am looking for the best way to get froyo, either rooted rom or getting the stock rom....
still reading forums and getting sore eyes...
any help appreciated...
thanks again..
Thanks for taking an interest in my problem and trying to help.
Here's what I've figured out. I tried doing Toast's root method for linux and the directions weren't idiot proof because I screwed them up. I've explained how far I've gotten in other threads. If that's relevant just ask and I'll explain exactly what I did.
Anyway my phone does the basics. It allows me to make phone calls, text, and look at the internet on the phone so this isn't an emergency but it I am worse off than I was before I tried to root because I can no longer use easytether.
I had no problem with easytether prior to the root attempt, and it still works when I hook it up with my wifes untampered evo. with my phone but with my wife's evo, I've never messed with that one, I have no trouble connecting with easy tether.
Some of the things I've noticed about the device since the attmept...
-I can't update to 2.2 via the OTA or any other method, my device says no updates are available.
-Simple root wasn't so simple, the phone never shut off and rebooted into boot screen like the red screen said it would in step 1.
How do I reset the device to the way it was the day it was purchased. I've got everything I need backed up. I'm ready to reset just tell me how.
Thanks.
Please?
I know it bothers people here when they think someone didn't research anything first but I really did. The problem was I'm on linux so most of the stuff I researched didn't seem to apply, not to mention I'm quite illiterate in the terminal... but working on it. I'd really like to get this phone back to stock so I can try again.
Can anyone help?
what ROM are you running? base on eclair 2.1 or froyo 2.2..
try this http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
They are the Stock Unmodified ROMs for your EVO 4G the first 3 are Eclair (2.1) and the last 2 are Froyo (2.2)
Just know that if you use any of this you will LOSE Root..
Hope it helps..
I recomend you try 1.47.651.1 first ...
Good Luck

I bet a friend told you about root without giving you all the details, right? Haha. Ok, back to business. Rooting will make it impossible to receive ota updates. This is not a problem, because devs post rooted ota updates that you can flash manually. As far as I know, root is 100% permanent, but you don't know the goods. First of all, search wireless tether root in market it should have a green wifi icon. Second, try some custom roms and themes. I bet you will cry when you see yourself asking to go back to stock....

I never got to the point where I could flash a ROM or got root. S was never off.
just in case it makes a difference.
firmware= 2.1-update1
baseband version= 1.39.00.04.26

Actually I'm a bit of a forum junkie and as soon as I got this phone I found the android forums and have spent a ton of time there trying to maximize the utility of this device. I've done the opposite.

I only want to go back to stock so I can get rooted! I can't root because I can't get 2.2 so I can't use unrevoked 3.21. I can't use simple because of some problem I had with the toast linux method that seems to be screwing up everything since. I appreciate the input I hope I've explained myself better.

Power off the phone and reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.

I get a screen with an evo, a red triangle, and a red exclamation point.

Any direction will be immensely appreciated.
To find out if you're rooted, simply try to run an app that requires root access. Try downloading Titanium back up, and as soon as you install it, hit the "Problem?" button on the lower right and install busybox. One of the first lines on the main screen of the app says:
Root access => OK (Busybox 1.16.0 from app)
If it does not say "root access => OK" and you cannot use the app, then you don't have root.

To check if you are rooted. Download "Terminal Emulator" on the market. If it starts up and when it is done booting, you get a # prompt, you are rooted. If you get a $ prompt. You are not rooted.
You also do not have a custom recovery installed on your phone (the recovery screen you have is the stock one). Try finishing up the process by doing Toast part II -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835&highlight=Part-2

Yes I tried doing that but like I said I'm on a linux computer and had some trouble with the steps. What I'd really like to do is just go back to stock and try rooting with unrevoked 3.21.
My concern is that selecting factory reset from the hboot screen won't take me back there. If it did I could probably get the 2.2 update over the air, I suppose now I have to worry about getting this other update that everyone is talking about at the same time. Can I get 2.2 and avoid the update that came out last night? How.
Will a factory reset get me back to stock? I've already got everything backed up that matters.
Thanks for all the help.
OK...I think this should work for you:
go here and download the file on the page:
WRONG FILE>>>WILL FIND THE CORRECT ONE.
rename it update.zip and put it on the root of your SD card.
Boot into HBOOT then into recovery and go to apply update.zip -- choose the file you put on there.
let it run and you should have the stock non-rooted version of the 1st software release from sprint. from there you can update it as far as you want to root it the method of your choice.

Thanks hecklbrg,
I assume since I'm half rooted a factory reset won't get me there?
I'll wait for the link to that file...
if you put this on your card and run it from HBOOT...you will get a rooted version of the latest sprint OTA with a custom recovery and the latest radios.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791019
I'm still looking for a non-rooted version to run...but I would think this would work for you to get you the latest OTA in a rooted form.
Second thing is that I don't think you really screwed up your root process. You have only done part of the process and haven't installed a custom recovery. If this works for you, it will give you a custom recovery and you will have a fully rooted phone.
Hecklberg is right. I don't think you even need to rename it update.zip. If its a
pc36img.zip your hboot will automatically scan for it, find it and run it when you put it on your SD card and open hboot.
Also consider, I rooted my phone without any computer, all done from my Evo, using fastRX8 thread in here about how to root for newbies. It involves putting the files on your SD card, then installing terminal emulator from the market and typing a few commands to install flash_image, then custom recovery. You are root, just don't have flash image, custom recovery, and superuser yet. Basically toast part 2, it can be done with no computer, but same files.
Read real quick Whitslack thread on rooting, and fastrx8 thread, even just the 1st post, and it will make sense to you where you're at and what's left to do. You'll see how close you are.
Once root, and superuser installed, you won't need easy tether, Android wired tether is what I use (doesn't require installing any software on the host pc)
(Actually, if you use the threads I mentioned method, don't use the recovery amonra1.7.0.2, there's a newer one to download, its at 1.8 now, just Chang the recovery file name you type in terminal app accordingly-don't worry, it won't go thru if you do it wrong, but won't 'break' anything)
Hope any of this helps, but yeah, hecklberg is right too, just different methods. One requires no computer.
And yeah, with the devs around here, you don't need any Sprint OTAs, most of the time, they seem to have em available before Sprint releases them. These guys are good.
scottspa74 and hecklbrg,
Thanks for the help. I havent had time to look at this or act on it over the last 24 hours but I will try to get to it tonight and let you know how it works. Sounds like you've gotten me out of the woods.
Thanks again.
I think it is $ if you are rooted and# if you aren't because I know I'm rooted and it shows money signs, unless terminal emulator is messed up,i have nvr used it.

Nope you are incorrect my friend.. try typing " su " on the terminal emulator see if you get the "#" ... # ==> Root and $ ===> User(I Think) But I know for sure "#" is root access
I deleted several sprint apps a few months ago when I temporarily rooted my EVO with z4 Root. I would now like to update the phone to 3.70. I have tried the OTA and the manual version but after extensive research, I realize that I can't update without these system apps (sprint tv, nascar, football, etc..)
Is there any way I can get these apps back on my phone?... or be able to update to 3.70 without them? I am not permanently rooted, still using z4 root.
Any advice at all, would be greatly appreciated...

Not sure about adding the bloat back but try flashing myns or mikfroyos roms. They r both based off of 3.7 base but without bloat and speed up. Mostly stock looking as well
Thanks for the reply.. I'm not sure I can use custom ROMs with a temporary root, is it possible? What I'm looking for in the new update is permanent SWYPE and the updated speed. This is my last attempt to try to fix the problem... If I don't find a solution, I will have to replace my EVO and pass this one on to my husband. This has been driving me crazy!

I don't know about the temp root but u can always try the full root.
You could permanently root, the ROMs mentioned before have the swype keyboard & are faster than stock.
Or you could download the apk files that you deleted. If you can't find them, you could pull them from a stock rooted ROM. Then, while temporarily rooted, move them to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r-- with Root Explorer or a free alternative. They'll be there when you reboot.

Thank you SO MUCH! That sounds perfect... I will try the apk files first, I'm curious to see if that will work. Thank you for the excellent detailed explanation, I actually understood everything and feel like it will be easy (I do have Root Explorer).
If that doesn't solve the problem then I will do a permanent root and use the above custom ROM. When I am finished, I will post my results.

If adding the .apk's back doesn't work, and you don't want to root and run custom roms (which you definitely should ), you could always run an RUU. I believe you should be able to run the 3.70 RUU no problem, but if not, run the 3.30 RUU, and that will flash you to a completely stock, out of the box ROM. Then you should be able to run the OTA. To run the RUU, you just need to have HTC Sync installed on your computer, if you don't already. You plug your phone into computer via USB, and run the RUU from the computer. I believe you want to use the HTC Sync that came on your evo's SD card, if you still have it. I believe the most updated one on HTC's website causes issues with RUU. Anyways, good luck, and here's a link.

I would permanently root, you can always unroot later too. Use unrevoked 3.

You can get certain apps by sending a Text message to sprint.
Like, send a text to "7777" with the word "NASCAR" and it should send you a download. It may work for the rest of them too, not sure tho.
I would try a full root myself.. you won't be sorry.

Thank you VERY MUCH! I just can't express the relief I feel. I could not reinstall the sprint .apks. I spent 3 hours trying all different kinds of ways before I finally gave up and moved on to the RUU. If you had not suggested and explained this, I would still be totally stressed. This is my first time to ever post a problem on any forum, I usually just search and read. This was a great experience and everyone was so helpful!
I want to briefly post my steps just in case someone else has the same problem later.
Searched and downloaded Stock RUU 3.29 (this is what I was running prior to deleting apps) and HTC sync 2.0.4 (my understanding that this is the only sync that has the highest success rate with minimal errors)
Uninstalled the latest HTC sync from my computer and then installed the 2.0.4 version I just downloaded.
Made sure USB debugging was enabled on my phone, then connected to PC with USB cable.
Powered off the phone, then while holding the volume down button, I pressed the power button until the screen with the 3 android skateboarders appeared.
I then had the RUU file on my desktop (PC) ready to click. On the phone I scrolled with the volume button to fastboot, then pressed the power button to select. I then quickly double clicked the RUU file on my computer.
When the dialog box came up, I followed the instructions. At one point, it asked to update the rom version. I Selected update and continued until completion.
This worked perfect. My phone was wiped clean and back to the original stock ROM with all sprint bloatware. I then updated my phone to the latest update 3.70.
After this, I now feel comfortable doing a permanent root. That is my plan for tomorrow... I wont be deleting anymore bloatware, just freezing it.

This is my first time to ever post a problem on any forum, I usually just search and read. This was a great experience and everyone was so helpful!
I want to briefly post my steps just in case someone else has the same problem later.
Searched and downloaded Stock RUU 3.29 (this is what I was running prior to deleting apps) and HTC sync 2.0.4 (my understanding that this is the only sync that has the highest success rate with minimal errors)
Uninstalled the latest HTC sync from my computer and then installed the 2.0.4 version I just downloaded.
Made sure USB debugging was enabled on my phone, then connected to PC with USB cable.
Powered off the phone, then while holding the volume down button, I pressed the power button until the screen with the 3 android skateboarders appeared.
I then had the RUU file on my desktop (PC) ready to click. On the phone I scrolled with the volume button to fastboot, then pressed the power button to select. I then quickly double clicked the RUU file on my computer.
When the dialog box came up, I followed the instructions. At one point, it asked to update the rom version. I Selected update and continued until completion.
This worked perfect. My phone was wiped clean and back to the original stock ROM with all sprint bloatware. I then updated my phone to the latest update 3.70.
After this, I now feel comfortable doing a permanent root. That is my plan for tomorrow... I wont be deleting anymore bloatware, just freezing it.

Awesome! I'm glad I was able to help, and that you got your issue resolved. It's always good when your first experience posting in a forum is a positive one, and XDA has a wealth of info and great people around here. Good luck on rooting, I'm sure you'll have no trouble. Then you'll really get to see what your Evo can do!

Well I'm glad you got it working, but deleting the bloatware clears up space, and if you delete it from titanium backup, you should have no problems, just make sure to make a backup before you flash your first rom. And like K2buckley said, there's always good people lurking around.
If anything do NOT delete the sprint Apps just freeze them using TB... Read that on a newbs guide

Hi guys.
I just got a defy, first smartphone I have so I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just trying to follow what seems to be the most popular guide to put CM7 on it.
Current question:
1) How do I check whether my phone is rooted properly?
2) In settings -> applications - > manage applications -> All > I can see SndInitDefy in the list (also under Dowloaded tab). If I click on it I can choose "uninstall". Could I do something wrong by uninstalling it and then installing it again?
Replies are greatly appreciated as I'm waiting for somebody to help me out so i can continue
Previous questions (solved):
When I want to put the recommended sbf file on it with RSD Lite 4.9 I can't. "Start" stays greyed out:
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Check lastest Motorola drivers. If not work, change to another pc to test.
Thanks for the reply.
I installed all the drivers and managed to root it.
I'm wondering, should I do anything besides just plugging in the phone and trying to run the program, or should i somehow get it into "bootloader mode", I've read that somewhere but not sure...

Yes you need the phone in bootloader.
To do that turn the phone off & then press & hold the volume UP button then press the power ON button. The phone will then go into bootloader & you can then connect the USB cable to the PC ready for RDS Lite flashing
Follow this great guide by Higgsy regarding the RDS flashing process - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674
Alright, I got it into bootloader mode and the phone itself says
Battery ok
ok to program
transfer mode:
usb
But still no joy
Also, I wonder whether it's ok to use that sbf file:
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-11_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTGB_P010_A007_HWp3_Service1FF
It says USA but I'm in Europe, does it matter? I got it from the guide mentioned in my first post, apparantly it's "the one that Quarx used"?

Took a look at it, he says "##WARNING: be careful when flashing 2.51 firmware, firstly its patched so root isn't achievable by the usual methods, and isn't easy to downgrade back to other firmware - I suggest you search and read the various topics on it. My advice is to use 2.21 UK or 2.34 Deblur firmware##"
I just got the phone so i'm guessing it's 2.51 firmware. Is it necessary to upgrade it first?
Also, how do I know which country my phone is from?
If I shouldn't use the version which Quarx used on a European phone, I have no idea which one to pick from these:

Some more more info about the phone:

OK your phone looks like it's a UK version running Blur version 2.21 & Android 2.1 eclair.
The sbf you are trying to flash - 3.4.3-11 is a UK froyo with MotoBlur (the USA bit in the filename is nothing to worry about & is OK to use) - it is a good ROM & I used to have that myself until I flashed the Nordic deblur sbf.
The warning that Higgsy mentioned was at that time version 2.51 had been released & it wasn't possible to downgrade to the older eclair versions.
I've only done a quick search in the Defy forums for the greyed out RDS Lite Start Button issue & there's some posts about it. But you could try uninstalling the RDS Lite & Moto Drivers programs then reboot your PC. Then reinstall, reboot your PC & try again with RDS Lite.
Hope this helps.

Have a search on the Defy forum if it doesn't work as I'm sure there's been a few others with that same problem you have.

New problem:
I installed 2nd initi 1.42 from this thread:

I rebooted the phone, pressing volume down while it was starting, and now I get a screen with a "triangle and an exclamation mark" and the little android guy
Phone doesn't do anything, can't even turn it off by pushing the power button...
edit: figured I'd just pull out the battery and put it in again, managed to turn it on normally again but I wonder what the problem was with trying to put it into the boot menu...
New problem:
The guide says:
"9. boot into boot menu by pressing the vol down button when the blue LED lights up on boot up"
But I never get a blue led like this guy does:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3ZHocqB2yI
I have no idea why I'm not getting a blue led
Does it mean 2nd init didn't install properly or something? (it said that it did)
from memory, it needs to boot up twice I think, for it to start working

For Gizmoe first time post, thanks for your info I found it with a google search, I was trying to follow your suggestion to FiFa_JockeR, but HTC does not have my phone on their web site. Can you please try to help me reset my phone somehow?
I have a HTC Incredible (ADR6300) and I just want to start over with this phone. Verizon stores no help, HTC customer service no help. They try to do what I’ve done already, “a factory reset”. But it just does not reset! with or without the SD card. This all started with the force closes on a few apps. Then I thought I would delete allot of apps just for the heck of it, then I ran into another problem. I can delete an app(s) while the phone is on but when the phone is rebooted or turned off then on again the deleted app(s) reappears. So I can’t delete apps and I can’t reset my phone. It’s exactly the same as FiFa_JockeR (just like the pictures) only we have different phones from HTC. PS phone has never been rooted.

The incredible (ADR6300) is on the www.htcdev.com/bootloader unlocker site, under HTC Droid Incredible *. Best bet is to unlock and flash a recovery, then from recovery do a full wipe. That is if it lets you, i have a feeling you will get errors formating both /data and /cache. If so its pretty much unfixable. There is a mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175346, that will mount /data and /cache to seperate partitions on your sdcard. This makes the phone a little slower, especially booting. But a slow phone is better than no phone, if you cant get a new one. If you need any help just post back.
Does this mean I'm rooting my phone?

At the bottom of the ruu update page there should be a proceed / continue button. Click on that and it should move on to having you get an identifier code from your phone, to send to htc.

It seems that htc has removed the ruu bootloader update part of the unlock process. Probably because the latest ota should make everyone have an unlockable hboot already. So just do all the steps 1 - 10.
You are not flashing a rom, at least not yet. A rom is basicly an opperating system like windows.
Right now you are getting an identifier token from your phone which you submit to htc in step 10. They will email you back another code with instructions, which you will enter into the phone using hboot and a cmd prompt on your pc.
Just follow all those steps on htcdev and then we will go from there. In your spare time you should read up on rooting and roms and custom recoveries, so that you have some clue of how your phones going to work once were done.

Well here I am at HTCdev trying to do step 1, I Select my Device and click Begin Unlock Bootloader. Then I get this dialog box, “Do you wish to continue?” I click yes and nothing happens, I wait, and wait, then click no and it responds by going back to the prior page where you select your device. So I tried selecting other devices and none of them work, sounds like a problem on their site. So I’m at a stand still maybe you can try it and see if step 1 will work for you? by the way I only see 5 steps,like the Attached Thumbnail I uploaded in post #3. also must be a common problem for htcdev just google htcdev and see the results of autocomplete (Thumbnail).
Update 4/29/13: I think I found the 10 steps, checkout this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyRxI15CUnA
This is what i'm trying to do right?,he recommends getting SDK tools too, is this what I should do? In taking your advice to read up on... I googled "rooting and roms and custom recoveries" that's how I found the video.
Unfortunately I still get the same result at the HTCdev site, can you please see if you have the same issue I do at the HTCdev site?

Download this http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/recovery.img to your pc and place it in the same folder as fastboot.exe and the unlock_code.bin. Put the phone in fastboot mode. Open a cmd prompt in your pc and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should now have twrp recovery installed. To get to it pull the battery, reinsert, and then hold vol down and power untill hboot comes up. Then navigate to recovery and select it. Once in recovery select wipe and then advanced and select everything except sdcard and emmc, then swipe the bar to start the wipe. We will go from there depending on what happens.
Ready for the next step.

Download this http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/recovery.img to your pc and place it in the same folder as fastboot.exe and the unlock_code.bin. Put the phone in fastboot mode. Open a cmd prompt in your pc and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should now have twrp recovery installed. To get to it pull the battery, reinsert, and then hold vol down and power untill hboot comes up. Then navigate to recovery and select it. Once in recovery select wipe and then advanced and select everything except sdcard and emmc, then swipe the bar to start the wipe. We will go from there depending on what happens.

Well it looks like everything wiped ok, your partitions are probably fine. So you can just flash a rom of your choosing. Check out the dev section, there are tons of roms there including stock rooted roms if you want to keep the original feel.
Should I install SuperSU?

1 first screen HTC Incredible
2 teamwin loading screen
3 teamwin main screen, to shut down, I tap reboot
4 at the Reboot Menu I select Power Off then....
5 No OS Installed, “Are you sure you wish to continue” and I Swipe to Power Off.
6 Then I see Install SuperSU, which Roots phone. Should I do this?
Should I install SuperSU?, I tap Do Not Install because I’m not sure what to do.
I want to install the operating system you have or a stock version, Touch Of Blue V3.0
At the dev site I was looking at kernel is that the same as rom?
Can you please guide me with links, let me know which way we are going and how to do it.
Thanks
