Can someone help me how to upgrade my GN to 4.0.3? I'm on 4.0.1 now and already rooted but i don't know how to update it to 4.0.1 because i'm new to this.
Can someone give me a complete instruction on how to do it. All the files needed.
Thank you
1. Go to dev forums, find a ROM you'd like (builded 4.0.3)
2. Download the ROM
3. Nandroid backup [optional; recommended]
4. Wipe settings,cache,dalvik
5. Flash ROM
6. Flash Gapps (if required)
7. Flash Kernel (if desired)
Verify you have Clockwork Recovery installed.
Sorry for my innocence, but how to do the ff.
4. Wipe settings,cache,dalvik
5. Flash ROM
6. Flash Gapps (if required)
7. Flash Kernel (if desired)
I'm new to this its my first android phone and first time to do all of this
PMJI - also new to android, I've been lurking around watching, still on stock 4.0.2
@ zephick - it reads to me as though clockwork mod recovery install would need to be done before following your instructions: yes / no??

That's what I meant by verify having Clockwork Recovery installed. There are multiple ways in doing this, you can either:
1. Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357642&highlight=clockwork
Download file, put it in your ADB tools folder
Go into bootloader mode
fastboot flash recovery whatever_the_recovery_file_is_named.img
2. Download ROM Manager from the market and flash CWR with that. [Need root]
@clancy: Yes you are absolutely correct. You need Clockwork Recovery. And no need to worry about lurking because that's what I did in my first year of XDA. After lurking so much, I was finally able to know what everybody was talking about and eventually contributed.

Hi all,
I'm looking at flashing ARHD. I've read through the instructions at least 20 times but I'm unsure of just a few things and want to be 100% before trying this as there are a heaps of people who seem to have bricked by not following instructions properly.
As I understand, the process is as follows.......
1. Download super wipe zip and place it on SD card.
2. Download rom and place on SD card.
3. Download firmware package and un-rar.
4. Download 'Official Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.3.1'
5. Disable antivirus protection on PC.
6. Ensure ADB drivers are installed correctly on PC.
7. Unlock Bootloader via HTC-dev
8. Boot phone in to bootloader and enter Fastboot Mode
9. Install "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img" via fastboot
command in ADB console.
10. Boot in to the newly installed recovery and perform a nandroid backup.
11. Reboot phone into bootloader and enter Fastboot mode.
12. Run "install-boot-windows.bat' as administrator to install the new firmware
13. Reboot and enter recovery mode.
14. Using the newly installed recovery, flash the
"Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_One_X.zip" on the SD card.
15. While still in recovery, flash the Android Revolutipn ROM zip.
16. Reboot and enjoy.
Have I missed anything there and is this in the correct order?
At what point does the PJ46IMG.zip need to be installed? The instructions for this are unclear.
Also, in the event something goes wrong and the phone doesn't boot (but i can get into recovery mode), can I just flash the backup file? Or does the fact that I've overwritten the boot.img via Fastboot mean that I can't restore the backup without flashing a stock boot.img via fastboot first?
Thanks and sorry to be a n00b. I'm just finding the order a little mismatched moving between various threads and want to be 100% sure.
Cheers.
You'll be fine. Both Firmware 1.26 and 1.28 is OK with arhd.
On going back to your nandroided stock rom, flash your stock boot.img then restore stock nandroid.
Sent either from my Arc or One X using xda premium
Remember to flash boot.img before the rom
I got my One X yesterday, did all you did BUT, after step 11. nandroid backup, I did these: Nandroid -> Super wipe -> Flash boot.img -> Flash ARHD 3.1.0 and everything works fine

No need for firmware files
Hello friends,
We all love Custom ROMs. Proof of brilliance of Developers on XDA. Many people don't know the correct way of flashing ROM and face various errors during or after ROM flashing. Even most advanced users can face such errors and need to troubleshoot their device.
Since I have been reading a whole lot of such issues here I decided to open a thread to troubleshoot such issues with help of everybody here. So lets get started.......
Before we start
I am trying to help you with best I can (with good experience) and shall not be responsible for any damage you do to your device.
Before flashing anything to your device read, read and read a lot about your device in your device forum especially about
How to recover device from Soft-brick
Bootloaders
Recoveries
Next download most recommended Stock firmware for your device to Computer.
Most important thing here is Bootloader (although most of the times you don't need to touch it at all). This thing can Brick your device . Be very very very cautious about flashing it. Don't if it is not absolutely necessary.
How to flash a Custom ROM
- If you are a new comer (Welcome)
1. Download and install Samsung USB drivers to your PC. Reboot. Connect your phone and check your phone is recognized.
2. Download ODIN 3.09
3. Download PhilZ Recovery 5.15 (Most recommended Recovery right now)
4. Open ODIN. Put Recovery tar.md5 file in PDA tab. Only "F.Reset" will be TICKED and nothing else.
5. Switch Off phone.
6. Put Phone into download Mode by pressing and holding "Vol down + Center (Home) key + Power On"
7. Now connect phone to PC. It will install drivers for your phone. In ODIN it will show connected as Yellow Box with some number.
8. Hit START.
9. After few seconds it will show PASS.
10. Remove your device.
11. Remove battery from phone. Re-insert battery.
12. Now press and hold "Vol Up + Centre (Home) key + Power On". You will enter in Recovery. Congrats :good:
13. Now Reboot System. If it asks if you want to disable Recovery Flash, hit Yes (otherwise on next boot Stock Recovery will come back)
- if you already have Custom Recovery
1. Place the ROM that you want to flash on SDCard (External is recommended)
2. Boot into Recovery
3. a) If you have PhilZ recovery
- Go to Wipe Data/Factory reset
- Clean to install new ROM. Thats it.
b) If you are on TWRP or CWM
- Format all these : /system /data /cache /preload /dalvik-cache
4. Flash the ROM
5. Don't reboot. Clear cache and dalvik cache and then reboot. (not necessary but recommended)
If you need to flash some MOD or OTA update after ROM flashing then
1. Flash the ROM after data wipe
2. Don't reboot to ROM
3. Reboot back to Recovery
4. Flash MOD or Updates
5. Clear Cache and Dalvik cache
6. Reboot System (ROM)
Enjoy the Brilliance of Awesome Developers at XDA :good:
Custom ROM flashing Issues and Solutions
Issues and Solutions:
Aroma installer freezes while flashing ROM or at the end of flashing
Use PhilZ Recovery 5.15. PhilZ v6 is reported to be having issues with Aroma.
Stock Recovery comes back after flashing PhilZ (or any) Recovery in ODIN
Follow the above mentioned method as it is and your problem will be solved. Actually Samsung Stock firmware checks Custom Recovery on reboot and re-write it with Stock recovery. That's why the above mentioned process. It will remove the script (install-recovery.sh) that does it.
I am on MK4 or MKD bootloader. Now what?
If you have flashed Official OTA or MK4 Stock firmware then you are on MK4 or later bootloader which is NOT DOWNGRADABLE (you can't flash any prior dated bootloaders like MJ5). Doing so can permanently brick your device. Although you can flash any Custom ROM that you want and should not face any issues.
Based on your reported issues I will keep updating this thread.
thank you very much for the great help

Make a backup of your stock ROM after step 6

but be aware that that recovery cannot be cleanly restored at this time.
The custom recovery is still very valuable - for installing CM11, and for getting ADB access to the device in recovery mode.
But a restore will need to be accompanied by a factory reset to get the stock OS to boot again, or an Odin reflash of the stock image. My take on it is that the android_secure files cannot be backed up by CWM as of now.
Anyone planning on flashing a ROM might consider downloading the stock image for their device before they start, IMO.
Hi everyone.
I want to replace old 2.3.5 ROM with something new and stable, but i dont know anything about ROMs.
My phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked. I have CWM.
Thanks.

If any problems respond me.
I flashed the latest 20s Chinese ROM to unlock my bootloader and had trouble getting back to LEX727 19s ROM with a working SIM card, this what I did to fix it.
Goal: Get LEX727 back to 727 ROM from any Chineese Variant (LEX720) with a working sim card.
Logic: We need to get the phone back to as stock as possible so that we can flash dr4stic's ROM That will update from CN5.8.018s to US5.8.019s. First we need to install CN5.8.018s, but we need to do it from stock recovery, to get stock recovery back we use a TWRP backup made by suhridkhan, then copy the CN5.8.018s zip, rename it to update.zip and allow the phone to do it's thing It will take quite awhile to flash the stock CN5.8.018s ROM, but when its done we can then install dr4stic's ROM, but first we need custom recovery again, since we flashed stock recovery when we used the TWRP backup. So we reflash custom recovery (I recommend GrossoShop's TWRP as that is what worked for me, however others may work). Reboot into fastboot, fastboot flash recovery the GrossoShop TWRP, then we go back to recovery. Now we can install the upgrade ROM. Once the upgrade ROM is installed, we can reboot and we'll have a completely stock version of the LEX727 ROM with Stock Recovery. (oobe state)
STEP 1 INSTALL WORKING ROM
1. You will need a working ROM to copy the TWRP unzipped files to the phone (figure this out on your own, but you should already have something that works)
STEP 2 STOCK RECOVERY
1. Restore this TWRP backup
1. Send the unzipped files to your phone in TWRP/BACKUP/<Device_ID>/TWRP. (You need a working ROM to do this with USB, you can try adb pushing the .zip and adb shell unzipping but I had permisison errors. and found it easier to just move the files unzipped)
2. Reboot into recovery, Advanced Wipe everything except Internal Storage (where your backup is)
3. Restore from the TWRP backup, before restarting, do a factory reset wipe and dalivik.
4. Reboot, and you SHOULD be in the LEX727 Rom, however your sim card will not be recognized depending on the modem firmware you came from.
STEP 3 GETTING DOWN TO CN5.8.018s
1. Since we have stock recovery, we can now use it to flash down to the right Chineese ROM version for dr4astic's ROM update to work.
2. Setup the phone, and copy LE_ZL1_LEX720_CN_5.8.018S.zip, then rename it to update.zip
3. Install the update through the phone settings or browser. (It will take quite a while 15ish minutes)
4. The phone may reboot into an endless boot loop where it just keeps redoing the same startup flash, To get past this reboot into recovery and perform a "Clear data" wipe.
5. You should now be in the stock version of LEX 720 5.8.018s
STEP 4 USING THE UPDATE ROM
1. We need to flash a custom recovery again (I recommend GrossoShop's as that is what worked for me, however others may work)
2. Reboot into fastboot and flash your recovery software
3. Wipe everything, data included and reboot back into recovery.
4. adb push the update ROM and install it, wipe dalvik and do a factory reset wipe before restarting.
5. When you tap restart system from TWRP the phone will vibrate for about 7ish seconds, dont do anything, just let it do its thing. It will reboot and go to a black screen, then finish rebooting.
(this is perhaps the most risky step as we are returning to a stock ROM with stock recovery and might loose our unlocked bootloader)
6. You should get everything back to stock ROM with working SIM card and an unlocked bootloader.
note: I will be saving local copies of all the files required indefinitely, so if any of the above links break, I will re-upload.
