[Q] completely new @ this

im completely new @ this android rooting thing............first of all i have a SGS2 from tmobile..... i rooted my device following a video i saw on youtube...in the description said somthing about this site so i went to the market and purchase and app called xda premium....ok so far so good......i dont know what to do with my device....dont know how to install themes( this why i root) the only thing i got to make was the wireless tether.......... other things like games,performance,al that stuff ,i cant make anything i made a clockwork mod or something like that because i thought of it as a mod for my clock LOL im new at this so please can somebody help me out?

lol no. Clockworkmod is not a mod for your clock.
ok, start with this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332103
it will start you up. Make sure that you follow each step CAREFULLY.
What you want to do with your phone to get you started is this..
- install clockworkmod recovery (This will be your safety net from bad flashing(uploading new roms))
- root your phone.
- start flashing! (WARNING: now, be careful not to flash any rom other than the T-Mobile t989 model or AT&T skyrocket model roms. If you flash any other roms besides these, you will brick your phone (say bye bye! to your phone).
Good Luck!

dude not to be a **** but i wouldnt even do anything until you read up some more on how this rooting and installing custom roms **** works. especially if u thought cwm was a clock mod lmao. its all good tho bro just read up on everything u can and make sure u flash the right roms and mods to your phone. sgh t-989. and if you need any kind of help dont hesitate to pm me even if it is a stupid question. i want to see u try though, u get respect that way

Being rooted does NOT mean you can download free apps, games, etc. there are free apps on the market. We are here to help but not provide free paid apps. This isnt like an iPhone with cydia dude. main purpose of rooting is to customize your phone any way you want. I would also recommend reading the noob guide. Read alot. Donr want this to be an expensive brick for ya.

Solved

I tried to search a little bit for this and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm new to flashing ROMS (just flashed my first one yesterday - blazer 3.7) and I am wondering what the correct procedure for flashing a new ROM would be.
Blazer 3.8 is coming out soon so that would be what I would flash to (if it makes any difference since they are both blazer). If there is a difference, what would it be? Thanks in advance for any help.

omg wrong section. ----------------_____------------------
GalaXy S ll [blazerV3] @ 1200x720

All the intructions you need are with the ROM thread so do some reading there and read some more also on you tube watch Qbking77 videos he has excellent tutorials. Good luck btw this post bongs in Q& A not here

First, this is the wrong section for your question. If you have questions in the future please post in q&a. This forum is for development only.
An answer to your question is available in the e4gt wiki stickied at the top of the forum. This is a great tool which will answer a lot of questions, that's what its there for. Just do some searching.

Whew! I made it before the thread got moved! wrong section dude, your are forgiven for being a noob but penalized for not reading the rules lol the dev for the ROM 9.8 times out of 10 has instructions for installing the rom correctly. look there first. happy flashing friend!

Flaming aside and lesson learned and research done.
Flashing from 1 Rom to New different Rom:
1. Hold power button + Volume up (until you get to recovery)
2. Backup your setting (NAND)
3. Wipe Dalvic, Wipe Cache, Reset to factory setting
And or flash Calkulin's_Format_All_For_E4GT.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837
Direct link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=771828&d=1320435068
4. Install zip from (sd or wherever you have it saved)
5. Reboot (first reboot could take up to 5mins before your running)
Note: If your updating same to the same Rom, read OP (original post) and most of the time you don't have to do factory reset (meaning you don't have to reinstall all your apps again)
Gokd luck

Thanks for the tips. If I have apps on my sd card will they be deleted as well?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Factory reset will delete all your apps/photos etc... Backup specially your photos etc.. Apps you can always reinstall. You have to either manually reinstall everything (which is what I do) OR use back up and restore apps like Titanium Back etc...
As fun as flashing is, you will probably run into problems at first... Use Q& A section or do NAND restore (very important to have)

No, they won't, all apps on internal/external sd are safe. Just wipe /cache & /dalvik cache when upgrading same ROM. Add /system to that for moving between ROMs ... now you had better git before the flames begin again!

I found this but it doesnt work with x64 operation system..:crying:

I think that downloading 200mb of system files is easier than unpacking a single sin file. I remember when I've been trying to unpack nandroid backup... It was a horror.

Thanks for your information
I added that file to my download list..

In the time this thread has been up you could have reflashed and set your Phone back up numerous times over, but tbh you should have had a backup before editing anything. There's links in my Xperia guide to help with extracting ftf files.

Stop being a ****. Some people have a life. Also reflashing, setting up every single thing in settings, flashing mods and restoring apps is not considered as "fun" or "time spent well" so if you have nothing valuable to contribute then why even bother with such a useless posts.

I wonder why People bother to join a mobile developing forum sometimes. I noticed last night my notifications were a little off and couldn't pinpoint what had caused it, a poorly edited image or a particular xml edit, so you know what I did, flashed my CMW back up, bulk restored all my settings with Titanium Backup and my Phone was exactly how it was before I edited it, total time was less than 10 minutes.

It's not like everyone in here knows what they are doing. Majority of people in q&a don't even know what cwm, nandroid backup or titanium backup is so please don't expect to be as smart as you.

I also started off as a noob and learned everything I do know from reading reading reading, as I wouldn't dream of trying to mod something that costs hundreds of pounds to replace without some knowledge of what I'm actually doing or how to repair it should I screw up. There are numerous guides and stickys that have been wrote to help with everything and if People aren't reading any or all of them then when they first sign up then you're doing something wrong.

You didn't give him what he was actually looking for did you then go on to say extracting a backup was "a horror" when it's actually really simple. I also gave them advice, and don't really care if you, they or anyone else doesn't like it, either take it for what it is or don't, and as for feeling "superior", I don't feel it as I'm not like that, but after building numerous themes, a ROM, writing a few guides, helping numerous People in threads and via PM, owning an X10 an Arc and a Ray in the few years that I've been here, you would think I might actually be able to offer some advise, which I did by way of pointing them in the direction of my guide where they can find links to help with extracting the ftf you linked to.
Although I would have thought someone would have uploaded an unmodified build.prop by now, but this is the thing with asking for individual files, you can either sit it out or start from scratch after learning a valuable lesson.

glad to hear that's worked for you. CM9 is the most stable for our device. you can try cm10 or cm10.1 if you want to test newer version. it's also run well, but the main problem is our ram. it's to small to handle. so if you want to get performance, stability and battery friendly i suggest you keep CM9.
you should backup first, lol :laugh: nandroid backup for your rom, in case you have to back to stock rom to claim the guarantee. but yeah, you can flash stock rom anyways. there is on sammobile.com
i usually using gobackup to backup sms, contacts, call log, etc. and my contacts always sync to my google account. (i know most people think go app is crap, yeah it is, but this one is working well for simple backup ).
i suggest after installing new rom you install app manually from play store. because different android version usually had different apk build.

The best way to learn something is to read ROM's first posts

First posts of many roms don't give much information actually... You'll probably have to read many ''first posts'' to get a proper understanding. People on here are annoying about telling new people how to get started because they in all likelihood learned by themselves though searching and reading. Flashing a new rom is easy but there is a learning curve and you will need troubleshooting skills, so the more you read and know the better!

We are all learning by making mistakes You think why I know more than e.g. OP of this thread? Because I'm too impatient to wait until somebody will answer my questions! I was doing things by myself, bricking phones, restoring them back and gaining knowlegde! So not more experienced users are "bad" because they won't tell everything, NEW USERS ARE TO LAZY TO SEARCH, MAKING MISTAKES AND LEARN!!!
