Hi,
I've found a guide how to downgrade my cyanogenmod.
But how can I know, if I installed a Nandroid with a Fixed SBF or the full SBF?
I know that only somebody who doesn't understand a lot of flashing/nandroid/CWM is asking questions like this, but i tried to find something on the web, but I'm so confused.
Does somebody know some good links with explanations how these basics for flashing/modding work?
And is there a smoothly working deblured Froyo version for the Defy?
Or a stock Gingerbread without ADW or Cyanogen?
I liked the CM7, it's just that some basics are missing,which I loved on the stock version (Weather gadget, I did not find a comparable one, or the old Swype, where I still have the window with the selections, not just one row)
Thx

Hi everyone,
I'm very new to the world of cooking or flashing roms etc. I appreciate this will be quite boring to most of you, but I was hoping someone could help me understand the basics. I'm from the UK and have just brought a HTC Touch Diamond on Orange network which I am very happy with. I am however keen on the idea of trying a new, potentially faster ROM. I currently have 1.37.405.1WWE. I have read a lot of good things about Manila and some others on here (elite) but I'm unsure whether to try one or not. My first question is how hard or easy is it to install a new ROM and what could go wrong? Could a newbie potentially ruin my new phone? Can I re-install the old ROM if I don't like the new one? I have read a lot about people doing manual changes etc , but I don't know any coding. Do I need to? I have searched the forum, but couldn't find any answers to such basic questions. Please could someone help me?!?!?
Thanks
It is not very hard to flash your phone with the ROM of your choice and usually it's quite safe as long as you follow the recommended procedure. Installing HardSPL is the first step which will ensure that a cooked ROM will not "brick" your phone. This is flashed as per the normal flashing procedure. Following this, you can choose the ROM you fancy ( I use Bepe's and I am very happy with it) and flash, again using the same procedure. The cooked ROMS are much faster than the stock ROM and usually very stable. Bepe produces 2 version of his ROM, Basic and Premium, whose major difference is that Basic does not include TF3D. Finally you can also flash a Radio ROM if for whatever reason you are not happy with the connectivity features and stability provided by your current ROM.
No coding required to do any of the above.
there is a nice guide here which shows you step by step how to flash a ROM:

I reckon the "flashing" part of your question has been answered.
Regarding the "cooking" part, what can I say... You won't learn till you do it yourself.
There are a few excellent guides out there (you can start with the xda-dev wiki)
And remember - search is your best friend. Both questions could have been answered if you'd have searched the forum.
This might be a stupid question but since I am new to Android world I gotta ask...
Is there a link where I can see step by step on how to install a new ROM on my Evo? Also a place to find all the ROM's avail...
I cant find it anywhere....
I'm not sure how updated this is but it does have quite the list of available ROMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
There's quite a few vids on youtube regarding backing things up and flashing i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWcIBcZvxw
Post back if you have any issues and I'll help you.
It can downgrade from China defy+ 2.3.4 directly to 2.2.
also, zip of defy+(red lens) is available from this forum, but this forum crushed today.
Sorry for the dumb question, but can I use it to downgrade my defy, in brazil?
I bought in here. I by my own, hmm.. per say, humbleness, may have flashed it with a higher version of a stock rom from another area.
Would that downgrade my version so I can flash it with a brazil's 2.3 (the current in here)?
I tried to read the site, but I am no chinese speaker, at least no more than google translator is, i guess.
The translator brought me with a quite enigmatic, yet very philosophical non-sense mishmash wich, by all means have deeply touched my soul (not that originally it was a non-sense mishmash, just the translation).
Again, i am sorry for being newbe
You may have flashed some leaked rom from defy+, please read the sticky topic "[GUIDE] All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide", it has all you want to know. Read the "Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom" part of that article.

Hi,
I want to root and then install the Android Revolution HD Custom Rom and I have a question before I go ahead.
Basically is it safe to go ahead and use the tools listed in the Revolution HD dev thread to root and then install?
For example The one click S Off tool Visionary is apparently not being developed any more and is only intended for Froyo builds.
I have been searching the dev thread but at 6500+ pages I may well have missed something so apologies if this has already been answered.
Anyone? I really don't want to brick the phone with a year left on the contract.
Don't know how you read 6500 pages and miss the ace hack kit. Use that make sure to read the manual
As I don't have two spare weeks to read all 6500 pages I didn't. Found mention of the AHK on page 6200 and something. Thanks for the heads up!
Yay!! rooted and booted and running 7.0.3, AHK worked like a charm!
Thanks again!
Hello guys, im newbie in roms and all the phones stuff so please dont criticise I have a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.2. My question here is how to update it to newer? 4.4.4 would be awesome, i want newest i can. I found some posts on couple of forums about this but every was like "format, flash, update, boooom done". Can anyone tell me how to do it from begining? I mean how to format it the way it should be, how to flash, what do i need etc.
Also i found this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374927
Is it good? I know i shouldnt ask what rom should i pick, im just asking is it good to use on this phone.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
The second post in this thread will help you understand the initial process
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You need to use gfree to exploit and root if you want radio s-off which is the only way you should root this phone. And be sure to read through all those links to understand fully first, I know it may be overwhelming but it is important.
As for best ROM, we don't make suggestions in xda but the third and forth post will link you to every to available. Gingerbread runs the best overall but there are many ICS and jb ROMs that work almost as well (some will say better) and KitKat has come a long way where many will find that it suffice for daily use.
You'll have to try a few, make backups, try a few more to see what works best for you
If you get stuck somewhere just ask in that thread and many are there to jump in and help
Best of luck!
