So I just got my Evo the other day and I got root access last night. What should I do now?
If plan on flashing to a new ROM so I need to make a backup. What all do I need to backup before I flash? Will a nandroid backup give me everything I need to one day return to stock if I need to? Also when I make a nandroid backup where is it stored? Do I need to put it on my computer? And how?
I want a new ROM that is very stable. My main things I want out of my ROM are the sprint and HTC useless bloatware gone and I also want the ROM to be able to let me use wifi tethering without paying the carrier charge. Can you guys recommend any ROMS that meet my needs?
Here is my current phone info:
Android Version
2.2
Baseband Version
2.15.00.11.19
Kernel Version
2.6.32.17-gee557fd
htc-kernel(at)and18-2#15
Build Number
3.70.651.1 CL294884
Software Number
3.70.651.1
Browser Version
Webkit 3.1
PRI version
1.90_03
PRL Version 6067
Is there anything I need to update on this before flashing to a new ROM? If I flash to the newest radio version what does it mean I may have to reflash the kernel?
I am new to the world of android so bear with my questions please.
Just run a PRl update so you're up to date on it.
If you don't want sense, try out CM7 use the latest stable, as anything nightly 62+ [2.3.4] releases have a slight mms bug being worked out, other than that, everything works.
Be sure to flash the latest gapps with it.
CM7 is good? I heard it made a lot of phones run slow. Also where do I get the gapps?
Any other ROM recomendation
SalvageMod 1.2.1, just make sure to get the updated Gapps
they are in the download section

+1 in regard to SalvageMod, but for new users to rooting, I recommend starting with a Sense-based rom. You will be already familiar with the layout and functionality, but it gives you a different look, mainly in the form of themes. I highly recommend Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS-5. You can view and download it from here

Ok I have heard a couple people recommend warm two point two so I think I will go with that. I heard you have to update the radio and all that for that ROM though so can you explain what all I need to do for that?
@ teh Rox:
I looked at the update tool in system settings and I didnt see PRI update but I updated my PRL is that what you meant?
Also can anyone answer my nandroid question about where the backup is physically stored?

You don't need to worry about the radios, as you'll have the latest since you came from the latest update OTA. I meant PRL, the PRI automatically gets updated, so you'll be on 1.90.
A nandroid = backup; you'll hear nandroid or do a backup, its the same thing. And if you're on clockwork recovery, it'll be in the clockwork folder on your sdcard, if on amon_ra, it'll be in the nandroid folder.
Warm two point two says you have to have the latest radio and Wi-Max versions.
My version is 2.15.00.11.19 (second to latest)
The latest is EVO_Radio_2.15.00.04.08 according to the radio tread I read.
Do I need to update my radio and wimax? Also what is OTA?
Side question:
Once I flash to a new ROM what happens when sprint releases gingerbread for the EVO? Will I be able to update and if I do will the sprint bloatware come back?

First, the radio that you have (2.15.00.11.19) is the latest "official" radio and RLS-5 will work with it. The other radio you mentioned is the one that came via the leaked GingerSense rom so disregard it. As for Gingerbread, you will have 2 options: 1 will be to accept the OTA update but you will more than likely lose root and the second is to wait a few hours or days until a rooted OTA is made available. The latter is the preferred method. As for the Sprint apps, after installing RLS-5, you will have a folder on your SD card labeled warm_2.2_optional1 or something to that extent. Those Sprint apps/bloatware will be in that folder.

Nandroid backups are for restoring the phone as a whole. When switching roms you may also want to use Titanium Backup to backup your apps + data. This way you can restore your user apps on the new rom. Passwords, progress in games, an app's settings, etc will be the same after restoring. I highly recommend the paid version, but the free version is great too. If you pay for the key, your apps will restore in the background. With the free version you have to agree to each app as it uses the standard package installer.
Also save at least one nandroid backup on your computer just in case. I also have my wimax backup stored on Dropbox as well as my computer, but that's not something you have to do.

Thanks for all the help guys, thanks given.
One last question. In the instruction for Warm two point two is has a list of recommended kernels. Will the Kernel I have now work? Am I set can I just flash and be done? Should I flash to a different kernel?
Oh and also do I need to update my WiMax for the warm two point two? How do I know what version I have?

Every rom comes with a kernel as it needs it in order to function. You don't need to flash an alternate kernel, but you may want one to suit your needs. You may need one for better battery life or other reasons. I suggest reading the kernel starter guide before flashing a new kernel.
But no, you don't have to flash a different kernel.
EDIT: Kernel guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894880

You'll be set on the kernel. Every rom flashes a baked in kernel, and its always stable.
As for wimax, I forget the command, but if you did an OTA and fully updated before you rooted, you'll be on the latest wimax.
Ok I am about to flash. How do I get the ROM on my SD card?
NVM, I figured it out and successfully flashed to Warm TwoPointTwo...now that I am on a custom ROM do I need to do anything else? Someone told me I need to flash gaps.
You do NOT need to flash a gapps.zip with the rom you just flashed. They are usually need for AOSP based roms and NOT Sense-based roms. By the way, since you're using RLS-5, you will need to download the adfree app from the market and install it. After installation, select either revert (to see ads) or update hosts (no ads) and then reboot. You need to do that because the version that is cooked into the rom has an outdated host file which results in your internet browsing to be extremely slow. After doing the aforementioned, your browsing experience will be up to par.

ok, thanks.
One thing that wird to me is that in the pictures for this mod the launcher looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But mine just has three icons and they dont have text. The three icons are phone, apps, and web browser. How do I get all 5 like in the picture?
This is not a new ROM or a customized one, in fact, this is just the Stock FroYo that comes with every single stock Optimus Me.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Yes, we have great options to update our phones to Gingerbread or even Ice Cream Sandwich BUT sometimes we want (or need) to get that stock feel again and recently I had to reflash the stock FroYo firmware, but in the middle of the process I thought: "Hey, this is boring, life could be easier if it was a flashable zip instead of a clunky and blah .kdz." and so I did.
In fact, I didn't only "convert" that boring .kdz into a flashable zip but I did make two other versions too. The first of them is the stock FroYo firmware (based on V10A_00 brazilian firmware) UNTOUCHED (no modifications, no nothing. Simple, pure and full of LG garbage ROM), the second one is like the first one, but it is optimized (rooted, zipaligned, de-odexed and etc, the features list is below) and yes, it contains LGs garbages and the third and final one is the Clean Version, it is optimized and without LG garbages (I just kept some of them). And so, you are free to choose wich one you'll want to flash.
Features List:
Stock FroYo Untouched:
Pure LG Stock FroYo (2.2.2) Firmware
No modifications (everything is exactly as the same when you buy a new Optimus Me)
Every stock LG app is included
Optimized FroYo:
Rooted
De-odexed
Busybox support
init.d scripts support
Zipaligned
Custom bootanimation support
Every stock LG app is also included
Clean FroYo:
No LG apps (except for LG Keyboard and LG Home which are useful)
Rooted
De-odexed
Busybox support
init.d scripts support
Zipaligned
Custom bootanimation support
Removed bootscreen sound
Which ROM should you choose?
Take the Stock Untouched one if you: want a vanilla LG Optimus Me experience.
Take the Optimized FroYo version if you: want everything that LG wants you to have PLUS some optimizations here and there to make the system faster and better.
Take the Clean FroYo version if you: just want that stock FroYo feeling back plus some optimizations and you do not need the LG apps.
Downloads:
So you decided which one you're going to take and you want to download and install it, right? Okay, just click in the version you want and download it from Mediafire.
Stock Untouched FroYo version
Optimized FroYo version
Clean FroYo version
How to install it?
NOTE: The three ROMs are compatible with every single custom recovery released to Optimus Me.
Follow these steps if you are DOWNGRADING your Android version or if you want a CLEAN INSTALL (formatting EVERYTHING and losing everything in the PHONE):
Reboot to recovery
Make a Nandroid Backup (optional but recommended)
Format boot
Format cache
Format data
Format system
Format SD-ext
Flash the ROMs Zip
Reboot to system
Follow these steps if you are UPDATING your FroYo Based ROM to one of these:
Reboot to recovery
Make a Nandroid Backup (again, it is optional but recommended)
Wipe cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Flash the ROMs Zip
Reboot to system
Things you MUST remember before asking something here:
If something goes wrong and mess your Pecans up, it is not MY fault, it's YOURS, remember that YOU decided to use my ROMs and YOU made something wrong when installing it.
I won't support you if you are using a non-stock Kernel (such as Team Pecan V2 Kernel).
I won't support you if YOU modified system files.
I won't support you if you are not using anything stock (stock launcher, sms app, music app etc).
Got a bug? First of all, make a CLEAN INSTALL (I did even make a little guide for it in the "How to install?" section) of the ROM (formatting EVERYTHING).
Still got the bug? Read the last 2-3 pages of this thread and check if it has been reported, fixed or it has a temporary solution and if it hasn't, report the bug.
Please, do not thank me if you think that I do not deserve it, only do it if you think that I really did help you and you feel like thanking me.

There is no "latest" stock FroYo version, there is different stock versions for each area where P350 was released. Before opening this thread I flashed every Stock FroYo version that I could find to make sure that I'd be giving you guys the best Stock that I could find, and, well, the results were quite the same in the performance side but I found that V10A_00 had less LG Bloatware so I chose this one.

i flash v10c and v10g then i see v10g is best for battery backup,i dont know about v10a but i think v10g is best stock rom

Surpisingly, when I flashed this rom V10A after downloading from this thread, and I checked the about phone in my mobile. The version shown there was V10f and my mobile was named as LG p 350f....any clues about whats happening?

The only difference will solely lie in the kernel man because it is not an android upgrade instead it is just an update. The things like 10a,10g,10f it is just the kernel names you can ask your doubts about kernel to rom2maru he compiled a lot of them. :good:
But this ROM is similar to PecanMod v5 it is the same old stock froyo with root and other stuff. But anywayz awesome work bro I really appreciate it I think we can collaborate and make ROM's if you are interested just PM because I am also a newbie

About the V10f thing, this is weird since this is based on V10A_00 only, but the P350f thing is expected as Optimus Me is known as P350f in brazil and V10A_00 is the brazilian stock unbranded FroYo.
But tell me, did you make a Clean Install or you just Updated your FroYo?
Skyheiser
THANK YOU . THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I'm sure many people will benefit from this very beautiful work. Already downloaded and am testing. therefore tired to install modified rom like cyanogem etc and none of them works perfectly. The first few minutes I used the rom CLEAN, it was very fast and stable.

Hi,
I was using Cyanogenmod 7.2, I made a clean install , after formatting system, wiping cache, wiping dalvik cache etc. So the version shown in the about phone option was V10f after all these things. Didnt have a clue as to how this can be exactly.

This thread is not dead, and I'll still give support to anyone that needs BUT I'M NOT ADDING ANY FEATURES/LANGUAGES/HACKS/MODS TO THIS ROM AS THIS WOULD BREAK THE WHOLE MEANING OF HAVING IT.
The point of this thread is to give an option of a flashable STOCK FROYO (based on v10a_00) to anyone that needs or wants it.

So I don't know if I've been out of the loop, or I'm not reading something right or what, but I need some help. I've been searching up and down and everything applies to Verizon, not T-Mobile.
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S4. It is currently on MK2 running WICKED V10. I want to use HyperDrive RLS17. However, I have heard whispers here and there about a proper upgrade process. Everything from something called SafeStrap, to being on the MDK bootloader, etc.
I want to be able to flash Hyperdrive RLS17 (a Verizon based ROM, with carrier compatibility packs) on my current device which is MK2.
Can anyone shed any light or point me in the right direction? I've been searching for 2 days and I think I'm getting misinformation from Verizon based roms.
Is that ROM on this section or the Verizon section?

All sections. The ROM was built for Verizon, but then Carrier Compatibility Packs were developed for each carrier. So they a pinned in each carriers version, however, originating from the Verizon carrier forum.
Here it is in the T-Mobile Android development towards the top:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/development
And here it is as a direct link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520436
I'm just really confused because it being an original Verizon only ROM, a lot of the questions are for Verizon. But I have seen on T-Mobile speicfic ROMs something about staying on MDL or MK2, or something along those lines. If I could just get to a KitKat ROM, I don't think I would have an issue, but my concern is jumping to 4.4 due to all the warning tape about going about it in the right order.
*EDIT* I also realized I posted this in General instead of Help. Can one of the mods please move this? My bad.
Order doesn't matter. I don't know why someone would say that . updating/flashing the tar wipes everything off the phone (except data/sd card) so doesn't matter what order you do it in. If you're on mdl, flashing the nb4 tar is going to remove everything of mdl and replace it with nb4.
Btw there is no NC5 unless weve gotten an update no one has talked about or mentioned.

Thanks. Thats what I was thinking too, but ever since Knox came into play, a lot of red tape has gone up on how to properly do this. Plus I saw things about LTE modems not working if you use the newer version. Audio goes bad or something.
Just been out of the loop for some time and jumping back in i feel like warnings are coming at me from every direction.

You actually have the older bootloader with no Knox, probably MDL.. So you can flash the ROM and the modem if you wish
Edit: well even with NB4 full firmware you can do this but you won't be able to flash previous firmware, only ROMs, so its up to you.. Some experience better results with full NB4 package but you will trip your Knox if you update it which I don't know if you really care about it

Well I went ahead and flashed, and I'm good. Still on MK2 modem, but getting ready to flash the newest. Also, I don't want to trip the Knox. I sell my phones when I go to upgrade and I don't need people getting cranky because knox is tripped. I'll upgrade to newest OTA when I go to sell it and call it a day.
FYI, I'm having very little issues on Hyperdrive 17.1 for T-Mobile. I think its an app problem right now because all was smooth until I started restoring apps. Thanks everyone for the help!

Hey, I have the same mk2 phone as yours and I've been searching up to update to nc5 as well. I couldn't find anyone with tmobile and then I stumbled upon this post.
Just one question about this. You said you are still on MK2 modem, did u follow surge's method?? Did u use the same files as provided for verizon forum??
Then shouldn't the mk2 change to NC5?? Also, when u said u went ahead and flashed, did u mean u flashed hyper 17?? Cuz I tried and ROM didn't boot up on my mk2.
Please let me know. I wanted to go forward with this method just don't have the guts to take chances and brick my phone.
Yes, flashed 17 from tmobile version, but selected AT&T on Aroma, and didn't flash the compatibility pack. Then I followed Surges method to upgrade the modem. I also flashed the ktoonz kernel for tmobile directly after the modem, as the instructions said to do.
Hope that helps.
Hey guys got a couple questions see below.
1. My first question is, Is there a way to Flash Stock 4.4.2 without using a computer and odin, my laptop doesn't read my phone, ive done installed and updated drivers, and everything. is there a way to flash it like you would a custom rom. I know i read that i could use Mobile Odin Pro, but at the same time i read that its not to safe to use that, and tbh not sure why you have to pay for it... i know there cracked Mobile odin pro and i havent tried it yet.
2. My next question is, is there a simple way to flash my sprint s3 to another career, by flashing a rom that will flash it to another carier not sure if this makes sense lol, basicly my Phone was flashed to Page plus, and i accidentally updated it and lost the flash, and i dont really want to pay to get it flashed again, is there a real easy way to flash it with with a custom flashing rom, and if my laptop ever reads my phone is there a easy way to do it with a laptop besides paying for it( not looking for cracks). My phone number for Page plus and account is still active.

1. My first question is, Is there a way to Flash Stock 4.4.2 without using a computer and odin, my laptop doesn't read my phone, ive done installed and updated drivers, and everything. is there a way to flash it like you would a custom rom. I know i read that i could use Mobile Odin Pro, but at the same time i read that its not to safe to use that, and tbh not sure why you have to pay for it... i know there cracked Mobile odin pro and i havent tried it yet.

talking about cracked apps is taboo and no you have to use a computer and what usb cable are you using? do you have the stock usb cable that came with your phone? and you can't use Mobile Odin to flash ND8 stock it won't work at all

2. My next question is, is there a simple way to flash my sprint s3 to another career, by flashing a rom that will flash it to another carier not sure if this makes sense lol, basicly my Phone was flashed to Page plus, and i accidentally updated it and lost the flash, and i dont really want to pay to get it flashed again, is there a real easy way to flash it with with a custom flashing rom, and if my laptop ever reads my phone is there a easy way to do it with a laptop besides paying for it( not looking for cracks). My phone number for Page plus and account is still active.

Stock ND8 and or any Rom based on TW and as long as you don't have your screen turned on for a long time it shouldn't Over Heat...

I have the stock sub cable and also a more expensive cable. Sometimes it does read and sometimes it doesn't,
Can I backup my stock Rom before flashing a custom rom, I mean I've tried it through Phil's recovery and find that once I restore it using Phil some apps and things don't work correctly.
What's a rom you would recommend.

I would recommend Tribute Rom or Wicked X 8.0.....and with the back ups make sure you have the latest Philz recovery which should be 6.48.4 and before each backup wipe cache and dalvik cache then your backups should work flawlessly

If you're already on the ND8 or NDC bootloader, then you can flash the stock (although rooted) ND8 or NDC ROM through custom recovery like the latest PhilZ. I'm guessing you're not, though.
Mobile Odin had had its uses in the past, just not handy with more recent versions of TouchWiz.

Here's the thread for flashing to Page Plus. I haven't done it, I'm on Sprint. I was having a lot of trouble getting my S2 on Page Plus. For phone it wasn't too bad, but I could never get data on and things were getting confusing with conflicting information, several third party programs on the PC, needing a donor phone, etc.

>> Yeah, Fido is a part of the Rogers network, but sadly bootloader and modem files are different
Indeed, the first rom i installed was that same SR3x 4.0 (previously installed 3.0 on an AT&T S3 with no problems, that phone still works fine)
As you can see, my Bootloader version is now i747MVLUEMK5, which is the Fido variant of the 4.3.x Bootloaders.
At least, that's what phone info displays. I installed the 4.3 update directly from Sammobile using Odin 3.04
I noticed that the Bootloader and Phone files weren't directly included in the archive, so for these to be updated have me a bit skeptical.
The only time the phone makes any sound is when making a call, you can hear white (?) noise and static from the speakers.
I think this problem first started occuring when the phone was still on the 4.1 modem and bootloaders. I tried 2 OC bootloaders to get wifi functionality, but the sound never came back. All the deets are in the screenshot. S3rx comes with two OC kernels as well as a i747m kernel that i tried last silly me with that decision
what about flashing the latest cm11 nightly to see if you can at least get it back functioning.? sorry i dont have better answers.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
any ideas mr. @audit13 ? if have time.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
If you used the stock Rogers/Fido 4.3 firmware from sammobile and you flashed it, it should have flashed the modem and bootloader too. Try flashing again and post a screen shot of Odin.
SRX was designed for the ATT s3 and I could not get the SRX ROMs to work on an i747m.
thank you @audit13. i knew you'd have something.

I understand. I have a pic of my workbench before I get started.
I've realized that all the flashes I've done since I got the device were using a Philz Touch CWM designed for the d2att versions of the phone. The Rogers/Fido verison is under d2lte so i will also try to re-flash SRx3 to see if changing the kernel there will "unmute" the sound so I can use it again. I'm used to simple things turning into these sort of Maze Runner situations @@
>> Also wondering if I should hit the flash bootloader checkbox, even thoug im pretty sure it does that by default @@
Before unification of TWRP, CWM, and Philz for the msm8960, the files were either designed for the d2att (i747) or d2can (i747m). Everything was eventually unified under the d2lte because ROMs and recoveries could not be cross-flashed between the i747 and i747m with the exception of bootloaders, modems, and some kernels.
Flashing files designed for the d2can, other than bootloaders and modem, tells me the files are probably dated at this point.
I'm not sure if SRX includes a bootloader but, if it does, do not flash it.

So most roms are safe for the i747m now? I see. I've installed both overclocking kernels from the SR3x v3.0/4, and it was shortly after that the sound went out, if not instantly. I'll be doing the Odin flash sometime this week, the phone's now on 4.3 so it's either Stay with JB or upgrade to the Kitkat Bootloader/Modem pack
I should also try grabbing a 4.3 Slimkat to see if that does any magic. That'd be disturbing though.
The safest way to install the latest modem and bootloader is by flashing back to stock 4.3 and running OTA updates until you are running the latest ROM and bootloader.
SRX is based on a TW ROM and i747 bootloader. I could not get the SRX ROM to work properly on an i747m and switching the kernel may not resolve the problem because you do not have the latest i747 bootloader.
All ROMs are safe for the i747m unless it is a ROM that is specifically based on a stock TW ROM. In this case, it can be hot or miss.
I recommend just using Odin to flash back to stock to at least see if the sound issue gets resolved.

Will do. I'll register for the Samsung updates to streamline the process. Thanks a lot in advance, I'm hoping for the best
Never knew TW could be this much of a problem, but then again, I think on the regular i747, TW was the sole cause of needing to touch modem/bootloader files in the first place
At this point better to install a launcher add root and be done with it. I'll have updates tomorrow
