What is the simplest way to install a custom rom. Can i just go directly into nandroid backup and then install custom rom from there and i'm done?
Please, i'm totally noob so let me know. Thanks !
I'am not sure, but the answer is NO. Everyone ROM has got his own requirements.
You should read the manual to ROM which you want to get.
but i can use nandroid backup to make a backup of my official rom right? and then recover it whenever i want?

Yes, it's also wise to put the file on your pc in case you boot loop or something happens to your sd
I recommend researching whichever ROM you are thinking about installing thoroughly before flashing your first rom. Each different rom has specific instructions for flashing them. There is an excellent n00b guide for flashing a new rom to a T-mobile usa defy. Though that guide is specific to usa defies, it has an excellent step by step guide for flashing an eclair rom. It would be worth searching for and reading. It details the backup process very well.
If you plan on upgrading to 2.2, you should search for and read the guide about how to upgrade to 2.2 without losing downgradability (by higgsy, I think).

I had my WF S S-OFF today and now I am looking forward for rooting it. But I am a bit confused about something: I read a tut about rooting WF S 2.3.3 Gingerbread with Gingerbreak apk and I also found this rooting tut on this site : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275
I didn't tried before being sure to not mess up with my device. So does both methods work or which one is preferred?
Thanks a lot !
My bad, wrong post... linked to the same thread
Good luck dude!
Run gingerbreak, device will restart. You are then rooted.
so you say I don't have to install custom recovery and other stuff to root it ? Just gingerbreak will be okay?
Yes unless you want to have custom roms, then you will need to install a custom recovery which can be found in the development section.
Do I have a chance to restore back the original recovery in case of visiting service if phone gets messed up?
I am wondering if it's possible to use gingerbreak, then install nandroid get everything backed up (not sure if it backups the original recovery in the phone) then un apply gingerbreak and then install custom recovery.
So this way I can restore the backup with original rom and original recovery. Is something like that possible?
Edit :
Is it a good idea / practice to install Clockword Rom Manager as it will replace the recovery menu that I have to install for rooting the device? I am not planning to checkout roms for now, but was just wondering
Nandroid backup is in the custom recovery. You can remove everything if you just install a RUU. Also you cannot backup the original recovery as you need a custom recovery to backup your ROM.
So best practice is using tut on xda, then install Clockword Rom Manager to install nandroid also and take full backup and then play with the phone?
So did i get it correct ?
Yeah, but make sure you install the CWM from the development here or else it won't work. It's very simple to install it. As your phone is S-off you can install the recovery and then backup the original unrooted rom and keep that as a backup.
So
1-) I follow this tut : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275
2-) Then install this CWM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
3-) Then with using nandroid (I think it's included with CWM? I read something like that on a site) I will take backup of my whole phone (I still wonder how it will backup unrooted version of rom eventho it's rooted)
4-) Remove unnecessary branded stuff (I don't know how to do that, any app for that?)
5-) Then just mess with the phone.
So my last questions is : When I install RUU, it will get back to stock recovery, and when i install the unrooted backup it will be like a legal phone right ? (Of course i will turn S-OFF back)
Sorry for asking noob questions, It's my first time using android phone and it's been only few days since i bought it
You got it all right, except if you have never updated the phone, as there was an update which blocked gingerbreak you don't need to do most of it.
Also when you flash the RUU it will all go stock. S-off will remain as it can't be turned on. Not to my knowledge anyway.
I think I wont use gingerbreak method, I checked for updates when I bought it and it said no updates. So probably that fix is already included in the WF S :/
I didn't managed to find RUU for WF S somehow but i guess for now I don't need it.
Today the guy at service shop (for breaking S-OFF) said that there is way for user to set S-OFF back, but he said he doesn't know the exact way. I thought hard reset will fix it
Thanks a lot for your help !
No problem, also you could just run gingerbreak first just to see if it does work without following the other steps.
Ok, so I just got an Rogers Xperia Play (r800a) a couple days ago and my bootloader is locked but I want to use the stock based roms. How do I flash a rom? So far I've rooted my phone and I have uninstalled/frozen a lot of stuff so my phone is running pretty fast right now.
To summarize what I said, I have a rooted phone with a locked bootloader, can someone just tell me how to get that clockworkmod thing and what to do to flash a rom?
Here is a link for CWM so that it'll get you started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390771
I suggest going here first, most ROM developers will have instructions on how to install their ROMs.

Thanks. I now have recovery installed. And the guide thing sad that it's possible to brick my phone so can someone give detailed instructions on the nandroid back up thing which lets you restore your phone to the way it is? My phone is in functioning good condition right now and I don't wanna freeze all the bloat again after the rom.

Boot into recovery, select backup and restore, backup
Hey guys, sorry to hi-jack the thread but it saves making a new one.
I bought a R800i a few weeks ago, and the bootloader says unlock allowed: yes
and was wondering where I could go to install ROMS and how I'd do it? Would I need Clockwork Mod aswell (the same one as above or a different one? )
Thanks!

please give me help step by step so i able to install this rom on my wfs
please give me answer about this-
do i need boot loader unlocked to install custom rom
will it effect my phone warantee
how to backup my current rom
how to install custom rom
if not satisfy with custom rom how to install my original rom
please give full detail to understand me
thanks in advance
regards
dksnisha
first of all yes you need a rooted wfs with S-Off or unlocked bootloader. If these are all done then you can go ahead to install a custom rom and yes, unloacking the bootloader voids the warranty
before installing do a backup of your stock rom, you can do so by going in to recovery and making a backup of everything, this backup can be restored any time you want.
for installing a rom follow the steps as mentioned by the thread author.
please provide full step by step guide for unlocking bootloader, backup my stock rom and install custom rom on my wfs

You can google first before asking questions. Also search this forum is good.
First see this thread and enable ADB.
Try this Link. I have rooted using this may be 6 months ago.
Hello!
I was strict at not making a new thread since there are a lot of discussions going on already, but the more I went through them, the more I was confused. I'm a complete newbie at rooting and want to root HTC One V GSM (Primo U).
I followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598964 and got introduced to all the terminologies about rooting. But as I reached the end of the thread, people discussed that this method is old, and there was some issue with CWM or TWRP. Should I stick to the same method or is there any new and easy method available?
The reason why I'm rooting my phone is, it has became very slow, it lags and takes minutes to do simple tasks. By rooting, I was planning to install custom ROM, remove bloatware, move apps to SD card and overclock (slightly) to increase the performance.
Also, after going through this forum, I encountered that a lot of custom ROMs are discontinued for this device. Can you suggest me the best custom ROM which will serve the best for the above requirements. Or can I achieve all this on stock ROM itself?
Thank You!

Even I am a newbie in Android rooting...and you got the right thread (sticky) for rooting.
don't worry I followed the same thread and successfully rooted my device (HTC One V PromU)
also I recommend TWRP (am also using it) and faced no issues in it

Thanks for your quick reply. So according to that thread, first, I'll need to unlock the bootloader, then install TWRP instead of CWM, right? then take the backup using Nandroid and then run Superboot to root it. Now that being done, my phone will be still on the stock ROM, right? then how should I install myONEv RC9.5 FX+ ROM? (Sorry noobish question).
Also, will myONEv RC9.5 FX+ will help to make my phone fast?
Let me tell u that initially I was afraid/confused regarding Android unlocking/rooting process..but after following xda thread found it too easy to follow and I'm 100% sure u will feel the same after completing the whole rooting process.

yes, if u have gone through unlocking/rooting threads(many r there in xda) for HTC One V u will find the unlocking bootloader is the topmost & 1st step in rooting.
so do in this order:
1.unlock bootloader
2.then rooting process (as given in that thread)
3.then flashing custom recovery (TWRP in this case)
4.nandroid backup
5.enjoy!!!!
and after rooting phone will be on stock ROM only (u can remove bloatwares now) :laugh:
custom rom flashing is clearly explained by devs in their threads

I prefer taking a nandroid backup before rooting so that if u ever want to go back to stock without root u can without hassle of downloading stock ROM. Personal experience:silly:
is TWRP better than Clockwork recovery mode? I used CWRM during my rooting and flashing, I am newbie also on this.

Yup, it is better, even I'm using the same.
Well, can anyone suggests a working Jelly Bean ROM for HTC One V, I find all of them to be discontinued. Project Butter should be strictly included in it.
Thank You.
