Ok, we get it. Your a TDJ fanboy, noone cares. Now for your question OP, this is the guide I used when i rooted/flashed for the first time. It's made for the T989D (telus) version of the phone but also has instructions for the T989 as well. Give it a try.
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...d-ultimate-root-optimization-guide-steps.html
Use this to root:
Here
Use this to install a ROM:
Here
Both have Step by Step instructions with a video to help.
I don't why people always say they need to root first, it's BS.
All you do is use odin to flash CWM. No need to flash SU if you are gonna flash a custom rom. I just think people don't know what rooting means or does.
All you need is a custom recovery like CWM, then flash a rom.
If you are staying stock sure, flash cwm and then SU to root it.
Please don't confuse the OP. I mean sure he can do what you said, but rooting first is a sort of standard that everyone follows.

Hi guys, got nitro hd a few weeks later. Till now never rooted and it's still in gb 2.3.5. Now wanted to try something and thought of upgrade or flashing a roms.
So what I need is, should i go for official ICS or cm rom. And as I'm a noob would like a detailed tutorial on flashing/rooting.
Thanks in advance.

Here's my suggestion of how to progress into the custom ROMs world...
1. Read about rooting your Nitro. Look in our Dev Forum for guides on doing it.
2. Root while you're still on 2.3.5 (to circumvent any of the stated issues with rooting Official ICS), also install CWM (ClockworkMod) on it as it will allow you to easily install ROMs.
3. Then try the CM9 ROM nightlies. It's fast, stable and smooth.
4. After you've gotten comfortable with that and have gone through a few nightlies...Then you can feel free to venture forth into the other custom ROMs (MAKE SURE you're familiar with making proper backups in case you want to revert back to previous builds/ROMs), or even the CM10 Preview builds.
Good luck!

Sorry to Hijack .But isnt it like a Pain to Root the Official ICS update ,wouldnt it be easier to root on 2.3.5 and install CWM and then flash ? Im not second guessing you ,I just got my Nitro HD today but been reading that the process to root ICS is kind of long and tricky.

You could be right. I rooted mine back on 2.3.5 so I haven't gone through any of the hassles as have been stated with rooting from official ICS. I shall adjust my original post.
Doble check.
OP double check your baseband version cuase if its 2.3.5 V10j ,it has been stated that its nearly impossible yet doable after many tries.
To be honest, I don't know more details about the android world. Can someone plz link the basics of android like cwm, adb & so I can have some basic knowledge about it.
Actually, I feared I would brick it.
And thanks guys for the replies.

If you wanna try the official ICS, get cwm from ROM manager. Then download honos flash able official ICS. Try it out, if you like it, keep it, if you don't, switch to something like cm9 or cm10 or hono's full throttle or honos aokp, the choices are endless, all you need to do is search .

Try the official ics before custom ics, it's WAY faster than official gingerbread, it's stable and once debloated it's pretty perfect as it is to me.
Then if you want to taste something else, try the cm9/10 but I would let them as a second passage to ics/jb.
For the official rom you can either flashing with lg tool (using the before - after rooting method brianlily posted here) or go with cwm as stated by rani9990, it should be the same.. the substantial difference is that if you don't put the cwm recovery before ics, then you'll need to go through partial unbrick process to revert back to gingerbread, because on ics the cwm won't be possible to install.
Hello all:
I'm a noob here so forgive me if I've missed something somewhere else.
I am on a stock EL29 rom and I'm rooted. I haven't done the ICS OTA update, but I would like to try ICS. The OTA notification keeps bugging the **** out of me. So, Here are my questions:
1) How do I flash ICS on a rooted GB EL29? Do I have to unroot first and then do the OTA update? If not, what and where are the correct procedures?
2) When I boot to CWM, it shows a Team Rouge logo and the menus aren't exactly the same as the menus I see in various demo videos. How can I get a "stock" CWM and flash it over the Team Rouge CWM? I downloaded ROM Manager and tried that, but the phone still boots to the Team rouge CWM.
3) Should I just forget flashing ICS altogether and just flash a new ROM/Theme on EL29 instead? If so...what's a great ROM to flash?
4) Any other suggestions y'all might have
I have Android version 2.3.6
Baseband version S.D710.10.S.EL29
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.EL29
Hardware Version: D710.010
Thanks in advance....

Ok so do you want ics rooted? If so you can find a one click in the stickies and if not and you just want the ota you will have to unroot because you can not have a custom recovery and update ota

Yes, I want ICS rooted. But if I do the one click, can I do it over top of a rooted EL29? I've also heard that I have to have a certain CWM to do the flash to ICS. Is that true?
I also want the ability to back the other way.
I'm just really worried about bricking the phone....I've read enough on here to be abundantly cautious....
Just do the one click and then flash agats kernal via computer after(QBking77 has a video on YouTube showing how to do it).

You can flash a direct boot cwm from mobile odin that is safe. Then from there flash whatever ics rom you want. No emmc brick risk.... also that will keep the yellow triangle off if its not there already
---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------
If u wanted to go back you could do the mobile odin flash then restore the nandroid.

I would even say give the JB AOSP a run. Battery life is great, has a couple cyamogenmod components, and is really really smooth. Last build today really made this phone a daily driver for me. Flash the same as ICS cyanogemod but make sure to flash jellybean gapps right after the ROM.

Thanks Dante...I was reading about that Rom earlier. From what I've heard, the battery life sucks on the stock ICS, so if this one has great battery life, that definitely would go a long way to recommend this rom.
Thanks again!
CM9 battery life is great. I havnt tried that AOSP JB but I haven't found one that was stable enough for a daily driver... I'll wait a month or two before JB on the e4gt.

Hi, I am not new to rooting and custom ROMs but it has been a while and the forum has so many roms that it is hard to decide which is the most stable.
Would you guys please recommend to me the best/most stable/most customizable(cyanogen) AOSP rom for this phone? Basically I'd want the best CM9 rom and hopefully CM10 once its stable.
Thanks

1. I believe the difference between the to sections is that Original development is for AOSP based roms while android development is for roms based of stock or leaked firmware. That being said i dont think that many people understand that when they post and it has been kind of a Cluster f.
2. Are you currently on the OTA? you will need to odin a kernel that has a working recovery with it. If youre going to another rom right away it may be easiest to odin EL26 cwm, then load into recovery and flash because this will install the kernel/recovery packaged in the rom.
3. Ive used AOKP some and its pretty nice but i am one that likes to stay with a rom that still has activity. That way if i have problem there may be a chance that it is going to get fixed. But if you are ok with a few problems here and there go ahead and test out CM10 or sbrissens AOSP.

1. Yeah I was going towards that conclusion but I dont think people understand it either.
2. I already flashed CM9. I used the mobile odin method in this link: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html
I flashed the kernel and I got stuck on recovery and couldnt get back to my regular rom. I was just wanting to get a recovery then I mounted the storage and put CM9 and gapps and flashed away. Now im running CM9 and its flawless.
3. Can you link me sbrissens AOSP? Thanks!

I have a gs3 and was looking to install a rom, now do these roms just add features or do they completely replace the default rom? Im I going to be able to do everything I was able to do before the custom rom? Also what does "cm10" or "cm5" mean? Also my phones 4g isnt working, it stays at edge, no mateer if I have full bars. Would a custom rom maybe solve the problem? If I add a custom rom can I revert to stock without side effects?
Thnks
Read and read and Google and Google, or vice versa! And have you rooted and flashed already? If so check your imei and see if it has numbers or just 0 (settings, about phone, status, imei) oh and read some more like the resource guide I created, and Google other things.

Buddy my advice to you is read more! And that's being serious because flashing things is no small matter but to answer you're questions.
Flashing a rom will replace the default.
It will change kernel, build, etc. The only thing that wont change is you're modem.
If you did install a touchwiz rom. You're most likely going to do everything you do plus more but make sure its based of T-Mobile... they tell you on the first post of roms.
Cm10 is cyanogen mod and they make asop roms. They best way to describe the rom is watch a video of the nexus stock rom.. u will get the jist of it.
For you're data make sure you're on a 4g area my friend. If u are then personally check you're data and make sure 4g is enabled. Still wont woek then maybe flashing the newest modem might work but be very very careful! !!!!
If u install cm10, akop stuff like that people recommend to odin back to your stock. Look up odin if you do not know what that means.
Ok I answered all you're questions
But truly watch out. From reading you're questions it sounds like you are new and want to learn which is good but keep reading and reading before you flash anything dude. Treat this like programming class and you're fighting for that A

You are the man.
What is the full model number of your GS3?
Dude you really look like you won't take advantage of all the rooting capabilities maybe it's best if you don't. Have you ever had 4G? It might be your area, tmobile doesn't cover everything. So custom roms most likely won't improve that, so before you do anything call tmobile and see what's up with that because most likely your paying for a service your not getting. If not then a warranty is in place if they cover it in your area, also let us know if you have mess with some settings in network.

It changes with whatever rom you flash to my understand, roms comes with their equipped kernels. You should wipe before you move on to next rom
