Hello all,
First try at rooting my DINC to try and make it more livable before upgrading (gingerbread OTA update SUCKS!)
I should start that I am rooted, just have not tried loading a ROM yet.
Looked at the Ice Cream Senseless and liked it. Downloaded the .zip and put it on the phones SD card. Followed these instructions:
1. Power off the phone and boot into Recovery mode
2. Now Select Wipe Data/Factory reset from the main menu, and on the next screen select Yes-wipe data
3. Now scroll to Wipe Cache Partition and select it. On the next screen Select Yes-wipe cache.
4. Now on the main menu, click Advanced,and then Select Wipe Dalvik cache. On the next screen, Select Yes-Wipe Dalvik
5. Now that you have completed the full wipe, scroll to ‘Install zip from SD card‘
6. Then Select Choose zip from sd card and navigate to the ‘IceCream_Senseless_v1.0.zip‘ file you transferred to the sd card.
The phone spends about 5 seconds trying to load the ROM, then says "loading update; update failed; installation aborted"
Tried to see if it worked at all and rebooted the phone into a boot loop. Had to flash the recovery and go back to what I had.
Did I miss a step? I looked through the thread for this ROM and didn't see anyone else with this issue that downloaded from the same spot.
Much appriciated!!
If you get that error its probably a bad download and the flash failed as well. Try downloading again. If the OP of the ROM page has an md5 then compare the md5 of the ROM you downloaded to the OP's.

What tiny said, I hope you made a nandroid or at least have one to restore to in case this doesn't work!
I did at least have a backup to restore too, so I wasn't totally lost!
What is an md5? What should I look for to make sure that the ROM is good?

I don't know exactly how to define an MD5 sum but it is a long string of characters that is unique for every file. It wouldn't be to check that the ROM is good, so much as to check that your file is good. If you had a bad download that corrupted a part of the .zip file or something during the transfer to your sd went wrong that corrupted part of the .zip then it will output a different MD5 than the one that would be provided by the developer. that is why it is wise to always check your MD5 Sums from your phone before flashing them. This is especially important with things that you would be flashing through hboot because you can permanently damage your phone by flashing a bad file, just one time. However, it is still wise to check MD5 sums on ROMs because after a long time of flashing bad files you can corrupt your phone's file system and that would be less than ideal as well. There are several MD5 checkers in the google play store but I like the one by Fabien Thalgott because it allows you to compare two files or compare one file to a sum that you copied from the internet or a sum file.
For the case of this ROM, I found a link to v1.3 which i would guess would be a newer version than 1.1.1 but if you see here
http://d-h.st/4scnusnddy2u/signed_IceCream_Sense_v1.3.zip
Dev Host provides you with the MD5 sum: d382a06889f856eb4256e3239eec9318
so that is the number you should compare with on your phone before flashing
I got the above link from this thread, just so you know:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359264
As for v1.1.1 I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478349
With this link to the ROM on devhost
http://d-h.st/zBw
and this MD5 sum

Hi there,
I recently flash leedroid 1.3 to my DHD and all went fine, however I later decided I preferred my stock Rom over it, so went into Rom manager and tried to restore from a nandroid backup I did before I flashed LeeDroid however it said "checking md5 sums...MD5 mismatch!" so booted into recovery then tried it from there. No luck..
I then tried ,Wipe data/factory reset, then "Wipe cache partition", then "Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stats", then restore tried to restore again still no luck..I've Tried it with two different nandroid backups (that worked before when I flashed back from cyanogen to stock)
Is there anyway I can get back to my stock Rom thanks.
(Forgot to mention I've got S-off and Rooted and CWM 2.5.1.3 installed)
youll love me when i finish this,
step 1. go here ---> rom storage
step 2. select any of the zip files to flash and put it on your SD card,
step 3. like i always say. youll need to go into the recovery menu and also format the following by selecting mounts and storage before you reflash
- Data
- Cache
- Boot
- System
step. 4 flash as normal and it should boot up with stock rom if your happy with not being rooted for a little while go for a 1.72 rom, if not stick with a 1.34 (look at the set of numbers on the file name , thats the version number)
Ah you sir. Are a complete GOD!
One thing I just want to double check is which one of these do I download they're all WWE editions but I don't know which one does which..

(Only difference is the 1.72 and 1.34 and 1.72 isn't rootable as of yet is it?)
look at the file extensions, you need to flash, which means you need a ZIP file, not an exe, 1.72 at the moment cannot be rooted. so stick with 1.34.
my DHD is one of the first batch with the camera misaligned and screen slightly loose, but i love my phone so much i can live with these defects ,
i think ive done everything to my phone, (i.e brick it, flash it, create my own failed rom),, so thats why i can help haha,
Well what can I say you've made this whole scary process of me failing at flashing Roms so thank you!
hey its np , always happy to help out

Go into recovery, select mount and storage and then select one by one format boot, format system, format data, format cache.
I am trying to do the same thing as you. I want to revert back to 1.32 and get kamma's or apache14 overclocked kernels....as at the moment android revolution 2.0.1 and leedroid 1.3 are not any better than the stock one.
Good luck with that...let us know if it worked!
Hey all,
I have a new HTC Evo that I installed Unrevoked 3 root program....no problems installing it.....So I downloaded and installer ROM manager and then ROM manger premium.....no problem there either, backed up the phone and everything seems to be good......tried to add Rom's in zip file from SD card and keep coming up with Abort errors.....clockwork is running fine to my knowledge...
read a few threads and add in Unrevoked forever....Installed with no problems....but I still can't get any Rom's to run properly with the abort errors.....
does the SD card file have to be a certain type of file name???? and thing would be a huge help.....I am pretty sure all the software is working good.......I just can't get this to work.....I have been test it with a few different ROM'S......AND STILL NO LUCK
Thanks in advance..........
i would check to see if the file didnt accidentaly got renamed with double .zip.zip at the end. also make sure there are no spaces in the name, redownload the rom with pc not rom manager, put it in the root of sd card, go into recovery manuallly, wipe and try to flash
so root of the SD card meaning not in another file.....just drag it over to the card itself in its own file??? I downloaded the ROM originally from this website....a few different ones and no luck....
yes all you do download then drag and drop to the sd card not inside any folder, do the wipes(if using clockwork recovery wipe data, cache and the go to advance and wipe dalvik cache also) then go to flash zip from sd card, look for your zip and select it wait then reboot, first time will take a while 5 to 10 minutes is reasonable, then once booted let it settle for a couple of minutes, go thru the setup process and reboot again to finish settling everything. make sure you have a full battery in case you run into any issues you dont want your phone dying while flashing anything
Do yourself a favor and get Amon Ra recovery and stop using ROM Manager.
Get amon RA 2.3 recovery and then start flashing roms via recovery instead of rom manager. To get to recovery u can one...power off phone and hold down volume down button and press power, two...after installing a custom rom and then hold power down and select reboot alot of the roms have the option to reboot into recovery, or three...download quickboot from market and use that to reboot into recovery. Once there u can wipe parts of ur phone and also flash roms and mods and u can put the roms or mods anywhere on ur SD card. Also don't forget to make a new nandroid and a single nandroid of ur wimax keys
Ok,
So I installed amon RA 2.3 recovery ....everything went fine, Now my screens are green instead of the orange like they were....my super user icon went from ninja to skull and crossbones....and I also downloaded quickboot from the market................ and made a nandroid backup
So I went in to recovery, selected the option for zip on SD card, selected file and looks like it went with no errors.....rebooted my phone and nothing.....the rom was for a green clock app......the phone just looks stock trim

Those mods can be tricky. Open the modded zip up on ur computer and see the name of the app. U can do the same thing with ur phone if u dl astro or file exployer or root exployer from the market. Go to system then apps and find that app and delete it. The try reflashing the mod via recovery. Uve done everything right its just some apps don't change for some reason
Also don't forget to wipe dalvik cache and cache before and after flashing something
The other thing is that some user made mods use the original framework.res which will change the way your phone is themed or how it "looks"
Golden rules:
1. Always do a nandroid backup before making big changes to your device.
2. Always wipe cache & dalvik manually from within recovery BEFORE flashing any mods.
3. Make sure the mod you are flashing is designed to be used with the particular rom you have installed. All mods are NOT compatible with all roms.
4. If you've screwed up and had not made a nandroid backup before screwing up, go into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card and start over.

Ok, so i decided to go with cyanogenmod, and i'm not sure what i did wrong, but when the phone started up all i'm getting is the Cyanogenmod boot animation, then it keeps looping that same animation. Made a different thread because i felt it was unrelated. Is it bricked or...? Thanks for any help!
how long did you wait upon initial boot? did you perform a full wipe before installing?

About 15 minutes. Nothing happened, so i pulled the battery. I realised now i probably shouldn't have. I wiped the second option, can't remember what it said again, began with a D though. I backed up everything though using clockworkmod beforehand.

If you're coming from. Stock, you need to do a full wipe (factory reset) before flashing. If that doesn't work, restore your backup and redownload (it might just be a bad download, make sure you're on WiFi with a good signal).

gotcha. yeah, it should boot long before 15 minutes.. 5-10 minutes isn't unheard of upon initial boot, though.
you should be fine, just go back into recovery and wipe everything. I've attached a tool that will come in handy for wiping, provided by our good friend amazinglarry. it is a flashable zip, so you can install it through recovery by selecting "install zip from sdcard" and finding superwipe.zip.
please note that running this script will delete EVERYTHING on your phone (aside from stuff on your sd card). it formats /system , /data , and /cache.
so:
-download this attachment, place it on your sdcard
-reboot into recovery and select "install zip from sdcard", then choose superwipe.zip
-let it wipe and format each partition, the phone will automatically reboot.
-reinstall CM7 & gapps through recovery
that should get you going.

Sorry for the late reply... but how do i boot into recovery again? xD Sorry, complete noob.
Right... I get into Hboot and it instantly goes onto try and update to my stock update thing i used to get it down to 1.34 (PC10IMG.zip) instantly, it wont let me go down to recovery...
ANOTHER edit - i tried it without my SD in and it worked fine - but i didnt have my back up because its on my sd card -.-
plug your sdcard into your computer and delete the img.zip file off of it
yeah... i can't really, my only means of accessing my sd card was through my phone.
Finally looking to try a non-stock ROM. Heard good things about latest CM10 M2.
Current setup: Stock recovery, stock ROM, rooted, I747UCLEM
Steps already done:
1. do a full imei backup
Steps I'm planning on taking this evening:
1. download Rom Manager
2. use Rom Manager to flash CWM Recovery (should I do normal or CWM Touch?)
3. do a nandroid backup (never done one before)
3. download zip of CM10 M2 rom and google apps (where do i put them on the int or ext SD?)
4. boot into recovery, do factory reset/wipe, wipe cache
5. install CM10 from zip
6. ?? do i install google apps as well now, or do i wait til after CM10 is done/rebooted and then go into recovery again?
6. sign into google to get contacts/gmail/etc synced back up
7. anything else? i'm not going to restore from TB, I want to start fresh.

2 up to you i prefer twrp you can get it from goomanager in the play store
3 easy to do in recovery best insurence you can have for a bad flash
3. internal is best
6 i have done it both ways with no problem
7 nope looks like you got the steps right but you do know m2 is a experamental build
#2 do normal unless you want to buy touch, don't think it's free
#3 once in recovery choose backup, it will take a bit, let it finish
#4 put it on your internal and this should be done before you boot into clockworkmod recovery
#5 steps in recovery are: 1 install zip from sd card
2 choose zip from sd card
3 navigate to the zip,
4 install
#6 you can install them right after the ROM
#7 reboot when finished, let phone fully boot THEN
#8 reboot phone, helps settle things a little (you just made a big change to your system lol)
#9 sign into google and let things sync
Troubleshooting, gapps may force close on you a couple times, don't worry, if it happens continuously then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash just the gapps (they are finicky) If you experience multiple force closes and stuff not working right, boot into recovery and under advanced find fix permissions and let that run.
If all else fails then boot into recovery and do it all over again, coming from stock to aosp your MAY have to flash a couple times to avoid errors while flashing a completely different os(usually not an issue but you never know)
Good Luck
edit--->dang I'm slow tonight lmao

So my nandroid backup just finished, and the folder is only 20MB in size. Is that normal? I guess I expected it to be bigger. I have about 70 apps, all installed to their default location, no music, no photos, no videos, on rooted stock AT&T. I did the backup by booting into CWM Touch Recovery from Rom Manager, going to 'backup and restore', 'backup to external SD card'. Took about 20 minutes to complete, it said completed successfully, and I hit 'go back', then 'reboot system now'. When I moved the backup folder to my pc and checked the size, it only shows as 6 files are 20.9mb.
Files are as follows:
boot.img 10,240kb
cache.ext4.dup 1kb
data.ext4.dup 760kb
nandroid.md5 1kb
recovery.img 10,240kb
system.ext4.dup 228kb
Thanks!
Whoops. Figured it out. The whole blob folder is part of it too. Sorry
Hello,
I was following step by step how to installe 4.2.1 jelly bean on my Samsung Galaxy Vibrant.
androidjinn.com/install-android-4-2-1-jelly-bean-4.html
I am having errors rooting using Super One Click. Locking up and Not responding... or just starting the process and not finishing.... anyways, i used another program to root called GalaxyS_One-Click_Root_All_Models. It ran fine, and then I proceeded to complete steps.. I got as far as getting to actually install the ZIP files named gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip and Hellybean-20121202-vibrantmtd.zip during recovery step at phone starting up using Volume up and down and holding the powerbutton on till 2nd reboot screen logo then let go.
Problem is from here i only get these options (i thought they should be new cuz of Root being used)
Reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd card
Seems to me that I have completed steps 1 - 5 and there is no option for steps 6 and 7 which were data/factory reset or install zip from sdcard.
Then perform data wiping task. To do so, select wipe data/factory reset, then select Yes on next screen to confirm your action. Wait few minutes till the data wipe is completed. Select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Now, locate the Hellybean-20121202-vibrantmtd.zip file that you copied earlier in Step 2 and select it by pressing Power button. Confirm installation by selecting Yes – Install _____.zip on the next screen. The ROM installation will begin.
This phone generally gets a little bogged down after some use.... no smooth screens , I would really like to have it running faster from this update.
If you suggest a newer version than 4.2.1 please let me know.. And I will download the different file... (just have to tellme which one to replace.)
Thank you so much, you guys are the best!!!
