hi guys
srry for being a noob here
i just rooted my Desire HD for the first time + ENG-S-Off and radio off
and i want to install a rom and i am having trouble choosing between android rev hd 3.5 or CyanogenMod 7/
any suggestions?
I would personally recommend you to try either Cyanogen or MIUI roms, they are very nice. I am not sure which are exactly available for your device, however. Android Rev seems pretty nice, has the basic HTC look. It's best to try them out first hand, and it's real easy once you back up your rom. Once backed up, if you are ever displeased, you can revert to exactly where you were on the old rom.

Technically, in the manner you're thinking, you can't just choose. However, once you've flashed the rom & done a backup, you can just restore it at any given point. I have a couple of backups I go between, mainly CM7 & MIUI. If I wanted to switch back to CM7 right now, I'd just boot into recovery & nandroid restore. If you want to be able to do that, I would set it up how you like it first - restore your apps with Titanium Backup, set up your homescreens, etc then do your backup. Otherwise it wouldn't be any different than just flashing the Rom.
But really, I'd just try a bunch of different roms out & see what you like. Before flashing, you need to wipe data, cache & dalvik cache at the least. You do this by booting into recovery (I'm not sure of the method for your phone) and choosing wipe. Then choose what you want to wipe. Don't wipe the SD card. I believe in Clockwork Mod, dalvik is under advanced.
If you don't understand this, then you need to read more before flashing anything. Knowledge is your friend... and the best bet against a bricked device.
Good luck!

good info m8
thanx
I have a hero and have used CM6 and CM7 as well a asopCmod ROMs and if my phone's hardware would be better I've been using MIUI I heard pretty cool things about that Rom!!
Just test them out. You dont have to stick with the first one you pick. I think that within the first week of me rooting my evo, I changed roms every day and sometimes two or three times a day, lol. You just have to find the one that has / does not have the things you want.

lol
thanks amigos
lucky i got no wife yet
i'll start playing with the roms soon
ok i have read more and i just want to make sure cus i dont think i got it right
i have the android rev rom installed and i want to try CyanogenMod 7 so in order for me to install it i need to first backup with nandroid ---> wipe data and cache and then install CyanogenMod 7
am i right?
the part thats the problem is the nandroid which i havent figured out how to do u guys have a good guide for nooooooobs
and do i have to use nandroid or titanium backup is good too, and can i just install CyanogenMod 7 directly from rom manger????
again srry for all the Q
thanks

lol, yup, I used to get the same thing....until I rooted her phone. I dont get to roll my eyes at her cuz im the one stuck putting the new rom on her phone every other day
Basically a nandroid backup is just a fancy word for going into clockworkmod and selecting backup, its actually easier still to download Tom manager from the market and click backup in that app, its so easy when you know how

This is assuming that you are using ClockworkMod Recovery
1. Power off phone
2. Hold down the Power button + Volume down
3. When the white screen comes up, wait for it to do the PC36IMG steps
4. Volume down or up ( will move your option you want ) to RECOVERY the press power button ( power button is always to select your selection )
5. Select backup and restore
6. Select backup
7. wait for process to complete
* your backup will be stored with a dateTime stamp. so if you do multiple backups or backup different roms, you have to remember what date and time that you did them. I have not tried to edit the name of the backup yet.
The above steps are considered a "nandroid" backup, if Im not mistaken.
Now for the wipe process ( these are what I do for each new rom )
1. - 4. are same as above
5. select wipe data/factory reset
6. Select Yes -- delete all user data
7. Select Wipe cache partition
8. Select Yes - Wipe Cache
9. Select advanced
10. Select wipe dalvik cache
11. Select Yes - wipe dalvic cache
12. Select Wipe Battery Stats
13. Select Yes - wipe battery stats
Those steps will give you a clean slate for your new rom to be installed on.
Use rom manager to manage backups stored on the sd card, it can safely change the name into a format that clockworkmod can use (ie.no spaces)
In all respect you really should use rom manager its a great tool, and free from the makers of clockworkmod so intergrates well

Sorry new to Flashing. I am on the OTA GB 2.3, does it matter what kind of Rom i flash Or does it have to be a GB Rom? It says to wipe data, is that a standard factory reset? I seen another Rom i wanted to flash & it says to petition your SD card, Will this affect any other Roms i decide to flash after i petition it? Is there a certain way to petition a 16GB memory card? I know i can do it through recovery but what options do i select? What does petitioning the SD card do? I am using RA as my recovery. Does only the sense 3.0 Roms require you to wipe SD card? I have read a lot about flashing but haven't really seen anything about these questions. Thanks

First it is PARtition, not petition. It creates basically a place on your SD card that you can install apps to and save data to do free up system memory. It is not necessary, but sometimes useful. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121538&highlight=partition+sd+card
You don't need a GB ROM I don't think. You do need to wipe the Caches and device. In Amon RA, look for wipe cache and dalvik cache.
It's not difficult, just stick with it. And Search before posting. You aren't the first to ask this questionl.

I know i get in a hurry & spell wrong. Lol I know about wiping caches. Some Roms require you to wipe SD card like sense 3.0 based Roms? I have searched a LOT & read a lot. I'm just ready to start flashing & try not to run into a thousand problems, that's why i made this thread, sorry if it's already been posted. Thanks for the help.
Try using rom manager to start with it does all the work for you. they have a couple of good roms if you have something that's not included in rom manager, try to read up more on how to flash it. or you can also youtube it. i have seen pretty good tutorials on flashing roms on youtube.
Hope that helps...

I have watched many video's on youtube about flashing. All the really popular roms i want are not on youtube for some reason. Just seems like Synergy,Cyanogen & a few others that i didn't really like. Are older Roms that were made last year still usable on the Evo 2.3? Just curious... Thanks

I'm about to flash the Koni's ELITE Series 3 Rom
It says
Flashing instructions:
1. Download ROM and Calkulin FORMAT_ALL.zip and place both on the root of your SD card.
2. Reboot into Recovery.
3. Perform Nandroid backup
4. Wipe dalvik cache, cache and data for best performance.
5. Flash FORMAT_ALL.zip....then in same recovery, flash ELITE ROM.
Reboot.
I have it all setup but am i sup-post to wipe ALL userdata/Factory reset?
I already wiped both Cache & data, did Nandroid backup but i thought when you flash a rom you have to do a factory reset.

Can someone please answer this real fast, I am in recovery right now lol waiting on what the next step is before i move on to flash format.zip. Do i need to do a factory reset before i flash? I was just looking in forums & it says that format.zip is for 2.1 & 2.2. Will this work on the OTA GB 2.3? Since i already wiped all cache & data, if i go out of recovery will it affect my Official 2.3 stock Rom?
I'm pretty sure you can you have to wipe b4 flashing I always do atleast just to be safe..

That's what i thought then i just looked up the Format all.zip again & it said that it wiped everything but i'm not sure if it works for the Official 2.3 I already wiped the Cache/Daviks cache + Data & if the format doesn't work not sure if i can go back to my stock rom without any problems. Hate finding this stuff out when I'm in the middle of it. lol. Think i should just get out of recovery & try to go back to stock rom, hope it works.
The best thing to do is a nandroid backup. It will backup your stock Rom so if you have any problems you can always flash back.

I haven't seen anything on needing to wipe the SD card. Partitioning only gives you extra space for apps but it will format or wipe the SD card in the process. If you don't partition, you should be fine. Always backup anything you don't want to lose though because something could always go bump in the night.
For that I'd use Clockwork Mod Recovery to back up your ROM and SD card. You can even use ROM manager from the market. It's free and easy to use.

Easiest way to do it is to just folllow the directions that the developers put in the threads with their roms. if you follow those EXACTLY nothing will go wrong just jump in and get your feet wet and enjoy all the custom roms out there
Also there are several threads on xda that are tutorials on how to flash roms. if you follow all directions completely and exactly you will not have any issues with flashing as long as your files arent corrupted

Thanks guys for all the advice! I don't care what others say XDA members are the best. lol. I made a Nandroid backup now im ready to start flashing. When i did do the Nandroid backup i checked cache & Sd ext i think it was along with every other check box, took a very long time, Should i have saved the cache in the Nandroid backup? Does it really matter? I think it used like 100 more MB saving cache. Do you guys do it?
First of all, I don't know that much about ROMS but I know that they will make you save battery and let you customize it better. I just don't know how to install the correct and best ROM for my device. I would like some help with this and need someone to explain everything about ROMs please. Thank you in advance.

First, there is no correct or best rom for a device. You find a rom that has the features that you want. The "best" rom will be different for most everybody. Just flash a rom, try it out. When you get bored, nandroid the current rom, then flash another rom. Repeat until you're satisfied. Some people are just too chicken **** to mess around on android phones, but barring complete idiocy (like flashing an ill-matching rom) or an EFS corrruption, you won't screw anything up.
As for the "explain everything about roms," go onto the home page of the XDA forums. Go into each "general" forum of each phone subforum and I GUARANTEE you will find a newbie [GUIDE] to android/roms/flashing/anystupidnewbquestion.

One more question. What is the adama kernel? I want to install the sonic team rom but don't know if to still the adama kernel. It is optional
I'd recommend against it. Until you know what "normal" behavior is for modded roms, you don't want to convolute the whole thing by modifying the kernel as well.
Basically what you do is make a backup in clockwork mod recovery and then put the rom on the root of your sd card then you reboot back into recovery then do the wipe data/factory reset then you wipe cache then go in to the advanced tab and wipe dalvic cache then go to install zip from sd card and install the rom and then once again wipe cache and dalvic then fix permissions and reboot then your good
I tried flashing two different roms (synergy and chemistry) on my sprint galaxy s3. It turns on but then wont go past the "galaxy s III" logo. I just restored my backup and all is well but I really want to get multi window on this thing so I could really use some help as to what is not letting me boot up all the way. The last thing i messed around with rooting was my DroidX and with that it really mattered a lot which version of android you were flashing from. I have 4.1.2 the most recent update. Is that why these roms are not working? Any help would be much appreciated I am very excited to get a killer rom on this bad boy.
Did you clear /data, /system, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing? If not, what is your flashing procedure?
But no, the current version should not make any difference when flashing because you are clearing everything anyway

I boot into recovery after i put the rom on to my sd card. Then wipe the factory data, cache partition, and delvik cache. I do those steps twice, then install the rom. The install seems to go fine, it always says successful at the end, it just wont go past that screen. Does it mater which version of clockworkmod I use?
You need to wipe /system too. A factory reset only clears app data, and thats no help if you're not wiping the OS as well because you're installing the new one on top of the old without cleaning up first...and thats why it wont boot because different pieces are getting mixed and not together with the files it should be with
It should say something like "format /system"

Thank you so much for your quick response. As far as I can tell, I am wiping everything I should be. I use clockwork recovery mod version: and the choices it gives you are: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache. From all the instructional threads I've read, those are the only things you need to clear out before the install. My clockwork version is v5.5.0.4 which i think might be really old. Could that be my issue? Does it matter how I rooted it? I just tryed to put jellybomb v14 on it and it didn't even give me the galaxy s III logo. Luckily it booted back into recovery though. I really don't want to hard brick this thing.
Which recovery are you using?
For TWRP, I generally recommend formating system too.
Also, make sure to flash the rom zip and THEN the gapps.

Make the switch to TWRP v2.3.1.0 (newer ones I've heard have problems) but you will be thanking me later. It's way easier and much better than CWM... just an FYI for ya!

I suggest trying a flash with TWRP. If you are unsure how to install TWRP, just download the Goomanager app, then choose install Open Recovery Script. But, before you install or change anything, look around a bit on how to install it. Make sure you follow directions step by step. After you have installed TWRP, try flashing again. Good luck!
Haha, so it looks like switching to twarp is something that i need to do, I'll start researching how to do that. I don't thing clockwork is causing the issues im having, but I could certainly be wrong. Since my phone is rooted, that also means the bootloader is unlocked rite?

Samsung bootloaders come unlocked by default, so yes
Easiest way to switch is to download Goo manager from the Play Store and have it install TWRP for you
Generally speaking, CWM is great on most devices, but for the S3 it's TWRP that's the best and easiest to use
And when flashing new roms, make sure to always format system, it prevents corrupted files from showing up because you would be installing the new system right on top of the old one if you don't
So I did as you suggested. I installed twrp from the play store. I made a backup on there so I should be ready to tryn flash again. The only thing is I use this phone for work all the time and if mess this thing up I'm gonna be in deep doo doo haha. So with the last several attempts failing, I'm a little apprehensive to try again. I'm going to re-odin and flash a different root just to be safe (I used team epic v5). Can you guys recommend a good root to use for my s3?

If you made a nandroid backup in TWRP (I'd recommend to put it on the external memory, but that's just me), you should be good to try any ROM you want (only Sprint ROMS). Just follow CNexus's post (linked for posterity). Wipe system as well as factory reset, cache, and dalvik, prior to installing the ROM.

If you've already rooted, re-rooting isn't going to fix anything, so no need to go there.
As previously explained and detailed, do a full system wipe, and you'll be good to go.
Thank you guys so much for your very quick responses, thank you for bearing with my noobishness too haha. I am going to tryn reflash jellybomb tonight, I'll post on this thread how it goes (hopefully good).
So unfortunately it was the same result with the TWRP. Tryed doing it with a few different roms. Some roms will boot to the "Galaxy s III" logo and others like jellbomb wont even get that far. It just flashed the Samsung logo and that was it. It's gotta be something simple that im missing here, but I can't figure out what it is. On the jellybomb install afterwards TWRP did come up with a message that said something along the lines of: your phone doesn't appear to be rooted, would like to install bla bla bla. So that doesn't make sense, because I know that I do have root access. Feeling pretty frustrated because I'm doing everything the correct way. HELP!

It took me like 4-5 months to personally figure out that the problem was the kernel. You need to flash a kernel right after you flash the ROM. Either the stock kernels or better kernels like Anthrax will do. I know that for jellybomb, there's a kernel included in the Rom but for some reason,it got stuck on the gs 3 logo if I didn't flash another kernel.
Oh thank goodness there is something else I can try, I was out of ideas. Thank you!

I tryed the KT47 AOSP Jellbean kernel after flashing jelly bomb and it did the same thing it did before, black screen after flashing the samsung logo
Now I did go into fix permissions and it did say failed, is that abnormal?
This is my exact procces:
1. boot into TWRP
2. factory reset
3. system wipe
4. cache wipe
5. Dalvik wipe
6. Install from external SD: jellybomb v14
7. Wipe cache/Dalvik
8. Install Kt47 kernel

4.1.1 stock rom rooted
can anyone tell me who to get AOPK into my i747m
You need to use the search feature buddy.
If you can root your phone you can find a ROM.
And if you have no idea what a kernel or a ROM and which goes with what, I'd suggest staying away from flashing for now and look up tutorials and videos.

i used the TOOLKIT stuff to get my phone rooted..
is the kernel a essential thing for AOKP? i have already downloaded the ROM. any possibility to get AOKP by using "zip from card" directly?
thanks for your reply by the way.

Every rom comes with a kernel built in.
You need a custom recovery for your phone (Clockwork Mod or TWRP)
In recovery factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format system, flash rom, flash gapps (Google apps needed) wipe cache and dalvik again and reboot.
If any of this seems overwhelming read read read. Watch a YouTube video on installing a recovery for your phone. Or a video on flashing a rom.
Phones are bricked by not understating what they are doing and downloading the wrong files.

thanks dude.i will.
The rom comes packaged with a kernel. Follow the flash procedures on my link to install the rom and gapps. This will wipe the phone so be prepared. You said you already made a nandroid in recovery, right?

the recovery is TWRP and i back everything even the cache up

As long as you made a backup in twrp, you should be all set to go ahead and wipe and flash
Be sure to have the rom and gapps zips placed on your phone before starting.

When you wipe, you're essentially creating a clean slate for your new operating system to run on. Making a backup will allow you to restore your device in the event you run into any issues in the future. The backup will restore whatever rom you were running when you created the backup. For example, the backup you already made, when restored, will place touchwiz (stock) back on your phone. Once you flash a rom, if you were to make a backup again, it would backup your system with that particular rom. Then you would have 2 backups: 1 that has stock and 1 that has aokp or whatever it was you were running at the time of backup.
You can also copy and paste these backups onto your computer to have in case anything ever happens to your phone.
I would read up on all these processes and procedures a little more before you begin.
