I'm assuming your really really new to flashing so before you flash anything you need to do some hard research. GB is Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) ICS is Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.x) they are completely different os's that are nothing alike whatsoever. This phone comes stock with GB and will be receiving ICS ota soon. Flashing specific things for this phone can be dangerous and brick your device, so look around majorly before altering your device. lets start off small. First off are you rooted? (is your phone stock?)

He did state rooted stock. Stock GB one would assume.
OP, if you look through the themes, you will see what they have been tested on or made to work with.

Just download rootchecker.apk from the market. What build are you on? eg30, eko2, el29? or what method did you use to obtain root?

They're just updates, the phone was shipped with eg30 then they're were leaked test builds and an ota release was put out (ek02) then another one (EL29). If you used Sfhubs one click odin to full restore to rooted EL29 the you should be rooted with no issue, do you have the superuser app?

Use this to root and install CWM found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Using sfhubs autoroot package would do the same thing as both those steps since he is already on EL29 wouldn't it? Autoroot, roots and then installs CWM recovery right? Maybe Im wrong as to the point your making with both steps.
If you just want a nice theme, you could always download Go Launcher and find one there. Otherwise, use the AutoRoot package by sfhub to root and install Clockworkmod. Then you can start flashing ROMs.

It was fun while it lasted, but I think we can safely skip KA1. I'll leave everything here for those that want to play, but I'm going back to Roto-JME and crank out a new release of that.
Here are the pre-packaged KA1 firmwares, pre-rooted.
I am recommending that you flash CF-Root-Tab-KA1 to get ClockWorkMod 3.0 if you do not have a protected bootloader.
Use Roto-KA1-Full.zip if you are coming from any firmware other than Roto-JME.
Use Roto-KA1-Upgrade.zip if your current firmware is Roto-JME.
Use P1_add_hidden.pit if you're not coming from Roto-JME.
I have made the following filesystem changes so far:
Deleted Gmail.apk, Maps.apk and install_flash_player.apk to free up space for rooting.
Added AppWidgetPicker-1.2.1.apk
For those of you with protected bootloaders, either package will work for you too.

Hi, Roto
I have flashed the original JM* series ROM so the bootloader already got protected. Is there any safe way to downgrade?
I went through the whole thread of downgrading JM6, but eventually was confused and didn't dare to try.
Any of your advise will be highly appreciated.
EDIT: I will give a try no matter how according to the guidance.

essentially what you get with this is a Clockwork Recovery, so we can flash future roms instead of using Odin.....am i right on stating this?

oh, so then KA1 is the follow up to JME?
Thank`s Roto
but update fails from JME v2
The Setting`s for a full flash ?
Pit yes - no
Repart yes - no ??
Sry for my English........
Arguments for upgrading?
Excuse me, but isn't KA1 an Asian ROM?
What are the arguments for upgrading from Roto-JME, if you're an European SGT user?
Thx!
Just flashed Roto-KA1-Upgrade and CF-Root-Tab-KA1 over JME(non-protected bootloader), everything seems excellent so far, very smooth moving through apps and menus, no problems with screen auto-dim, even the Readers Hub is updating properly(hasn't updated properly for me through the JMx roms).
Edit:
Market just updated properly.
Swype v2.4.44.10881 is full-screen for those who were wondering.
Thanks rotohammer and chainfire for all your work on these releases.

Asian and English. The Asians lost out on JME, so now its their turn. Would be nice to combine all the locales though.
Roto,
What about us fools that have signed PBL,SBL,zimage???
Do you have anything for us signed bootloader people? Or are we screwed?
Thanks for all the hard work!

Hi,
Just got my Nexus. Can't update it as Nexus says it's up to date. And my Android version is 4.0.1 at the moment.
But I see in your signatures most of you have 4.0.3.
Do I need to be a developer (must have SDK or smth) to upgrade? Or is there a simple way to do that?
Thanks!
4.0.3 OTA is not available. It's in AOSP.
Only way to get 4.0.3 is to use a custom ROM .

That was quick
I think I will wait for official. Have no balls messing with custom ROMs at the moment Tired already of messing with Windows Mobile and searching for a perfect ROM (didn't find that in 3 years).

well luckily for you if you ever decide to go the custom rom route, the people at samsung, google, and the wonderful developers online have made it almost idiot proof, and safe to do. you will probably be surprised how easy it is. in fact, most people seem to have the most issues installing the windows(or mac) drivers properly.
peter alfonso - peteralfonso.com has the Bugless Beast rom, which is nearly stock aosp, and very stable
i have to say I tried rooting, unlock and custom rom... and the hardest bit was finding the right drivers.. but used the universal ones (in the forums) and it worked like a charm.. Just follow a guide and it's simple... but I've stuck with stock as the camera functionality isn't as good in AOSP... will flash cm9 when its ready though
go with the one touch app for rooting and the touch clockwork app they work great

You don't need to install any drivers on Mac to make fastboot working. Just download a fastboot binary (like on Linux).
Btw
When we should expect 4.0.3 to be released officially?
How long it usually takes to release a new version?

no ETA. it is ready when it is ready.
flash to custom 4.0.3 if you want it now
I am also still at 4.0.1 and when I check for update, still no 4.0.2
When were will be an update to 4,0,3 will we be able to update without losing all the settings?
I have Backup checkbox marked in my settings.
So, if I'm on 4.0.2 and download a 4.0.3 ROM it will be compatible? Same with flashing a 4.0.3 kernel on a 4.0.2?
Thanks
I upgraded my phone to the official FD24 ROM. I did not root before I did this. I am very new to rooting Android and need to be walked through it. Can someone point me to this walkthrough and the files I will need to only root my phone? I do not want custom ROM's etc, just root access.
Fd24 is not official. Its a leak. We've had like 6 updated ones since then. Check dev section for most recent stock rooted rom. I believe its fe22.
Keep in mind that that is also a leak. We do not have official ics yet. I'm on my phone and do t know how to link you to the proper thread from here. Like I said, just look in the dev section for stock rooted fe22

If you're on FD24 I would imagine you're already rooted. How did you get on FD24?

How can I confirm if its rooted now? According to the video the ROM was the stock ROM that was leaked, no tweaks or anything?

Hello can anyone write a tutorial that will send any T989 with custom ROM and RADIO to it's original configuration so Kias can upgrade phone to ICS ? Let's say I am on Darkside with radio from Blaze 4G and I do have my original ROM backed up with ROM Manager ....now what ? From what I understand I need 3 things to make a smooth transition.
1. Original 2.3.6
2. Original RADIO
3. No Custom Recovery (no clockwork)
I may be incorrect on clockwork but I know for sure radio and rom has to be exact. So is there anyone can write a tutorial that will put any T989 and ANY Custom ROM to it's original state ? (I hjope it's even possible)
Thank you.

I guess that link is for old stock ROM (ULKL1) . They upgrade it one more time before IcS to UVLDE. There is thread on general section.

Is that mean I'll have to do an upgrade before I can do ICS ? Or I can just go from that straight to ICS ?
if you find the UVLDE md5.tar file in whatever thread it is in, you only need to go back to that STOCK version, there is no further update from that.
You can then do the ICS update after that.

Why not wait a few days for us to play with it first? Updating through Kies could render your device unrootable. With what I have been reading/hearing they may lock the bootloader and make it impossible to root until a security flaw is found and exploited. This could take days to even months if even possible. Like I said, my advice is to wait.

Hi all... Stupid question time,
I've only got into custom roms etc and I'm running black ice at the moment.
I fancy a look at jelly bean so is it as simple as revert back to ics via my backup and ota update?
Will it matter that I'm rooted and have an unlocked bootloader?
Cheers in advance.

No. The OTA update will not work unless you are running IMM30D (which I doubt your backup is). Easiest way, just flash a fully-functioning custom JB stock rom. There are more than a few found in the development sections of this forum.
