Can someone guide me step by step on how to get ics on my captivate glide? I have absolutely no clue how/what rooting is and what roms are. I have looked on this forum for guides but I can't really understand them. So could someone please help me with step by step instructions on how to do this? Also, if I do this, will I be able to get the official ics when at&t releases it? Thanks
Keep in mind this will wipe all of your data, as well as the internal memory, so if you need to back up pictures or anything, now's the time to do it. This will leave you with a stock recovery, stock kernel, and unrooted AT&T stock rom with the typical AT&T bloatware. It should be fine to update to the official update once it comes out, but no one knows for sure. You'll want to have at least 50% battery, just to be on the safe side.
First, make sure you have Kies installed, so that you have the correct USB drivers. Download the 4.0.4 .exe file from here. Power off your phone, hold Volume Up and Power to turn it back on. Keep holding them until you get a screen warning you about custom software, and release, then press volume up again to enter download mode. Hook the phone up to your pc, and launch the .exe you downloaded. Click the start button, and wait patiently.
You can stop there, or you can root your device and fix the keyboard backlight bug in the leak as well as remove some bloatware if you want. For this, you'll need Odin 1.85, Clockworkmod Recovery, SuperUser 3.2 RC3, and the Keyboard Backlight fix.
Copy the backlight fix and super user zips to your internal memory, and reboot the phone into download mode using the same method as above. Connect the USB, and run Odin 1.85. Uncheck "F. Reset Time" and make sure that the only box checked is Auto Reboot, you shouldn't need to change anything. Click on the PDA button, and load the clockworkmod .md5 file you downloaded, then press the start button and wait for the device to reboot.
This time you'll reboot into recovery. Power the phone off, hold the volume down and power button to turn the phone one. Keep holding them until you see text about entering recovery in the top left, and release. Use the volume keys to navigate and power to select, and go to Install zip from sdcard. Select Choose zip from sdcard, and select the superuser zip you downloaded earlier. Select Yes, and wait for superuser to flash. Once that's finished, repeat the process, this time selecting the keyboard backlight fix zip. Next, we'll make a quick backup so you can restore to this point in case you mess anything up when removing bloatware. Select Backup and restore, and backup. This will take a bit, just be patient. When you're finished, select reboot system now, and you should be set.
From here, you can install something like Titanium Backup, which will use root access to let you remove the various AT&T bloatware.

I love you.
Perfect guide, thanks
bakageta's guide was great!
Being a regular part of the forum means that you get used to the jargon. But for someone starting off with Android ROMs, this is perfect.
Being new to the ics, I currently have my glide still stock, the only mods I have done are rooting, WiFi tethering fix, and gps fix. It still has the e3 recovery. Do I need to unroot, or anything it install ics? Also with the leaked ics, can I still use the WiFi tethering and such? Would it be worth installing considering battery life, cpu usage? How slow is it compared to the stock 2.3.5?
Thanks

Wifi tethering needs a fix, but there are instructions for how to do it in the development forum. You don't need to unroot or do anything special to install ICS, but you should make backups of important stuff just in case. My battery life is the same or slightly better than AT&T 2.3.5 stock, and the device doesn't feel any slower.

Thanks, it all sounds good. I'll look for the fix, I just dont want to loose what I already have! but on the other hand I'm ready for a change, ether a new phone or loading a new rom! I know the official update has just been released from att, I'm not sure if I should just wait for it to be offered here rooted or try the leaked version!
You can use any free or paid tethering as well.. I haven't run the fix because my foxfi still running fine.
Current System:
CWMR Touch 6.0.0.1 (Stable)
i927ruclg9 ICS 4.0.4 stock

Thank YOU!!!!
Thank you so much for the help on this, extremely straightforward and thorough, A+++
Thanks bakageta for a great walk-through. I just picked up this phone for my better half who's used to having a keyboard (BlackBerry Pearl user) so I wanted to get her onto ICS and get the keyboard lighting issue fixed. I had an account on here previously but I hadn't logged in for over a year.
Cheers!

I flashed a ROM that is in the ROM Manager, and I have found that it is slow, Wifi doesn't turn on and I tried to change the ROM to my last backup, to find that ROM Manager can't find Superuser anymore. So I tried to install Visionary+, but it tries to root, and then turns to a black screen that I can't exit. I can only pull down the notifications bar, unfortunately it is set to temp root on boot, and so this happens whenever I turn it off. So now I am stuck with an unusable phone, and I have no idea what to do, anyone have any suggestions?
EDIT: Apologies for this now uselss thread, managed to finally get CWM up. Sorry!
Take battery out. Then put in and hold power and volume down. This will launch bootloader and use volume down to highlight recovery then press power. You can now access your backups.
It's usually better to flash a zip directly via CWM after doing a full wipe, Rom Manager doesn't always get it right. You should always check that the MD5 is correct, which isn't possible if you download via Rom Manager.
BTW, you posted in the completely wrong section, questions go to Q&A...

Glad you got it sorted. Please mark thread as solved.
Go to edit, go advanced, edit the subject by adding [SOLVED] (including square brackets) to the beginning.
Hi,
I recently rooted my phone through VISIONary+ r14 and today downloaded ROM Manager. I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, but I can't back up my current ROM (stock/branded). I want to make a complete 100% backup of my current phone to be able to restore later if I need to.
However, I don't know how to do it. There is a 'Backup current ROM' option on ROM Manager, but whenever I do it my phone restarts showing the black screen with the phone and the red Caution exclamation mark + triangle, so I have to hold Volume Up and the Power button to restart my phone.
What do I do?
Also, it may be worth mentioning my Desire HD is a Vodafone Australia branded phone which hasn't been updated at all.
Well, the triangle image thingy means you dont have recovery flashed...
So, you have to choose 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery' first. - That wil download a file from the internet and install it for you, so make sure you have internet connection
That will flash/install a recovery for you, in which you can create a backup.
Oh and i think you need to S-OFF your phone before installing recovery (im not sure about that but thats what i've heard)
click here for S-OFF http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 --the last process says that after S-OFF you can install CWM recovery

Can you confirm if you did this separately to ROM Manager or as per above, used the Flash Recovery option in ROM Manager?
Have you confirmed you do have root?
If you reboot into recovery do you get to the clockworkmod recovery screen? What version is it?
If root can't be confirmed, re-do the visionary method. If root is confirmed but can't get to CWM-R do as per above and flash recovery from RM console.
Yes, I can confirm it is rooted.
I just ENG S-OFFed, so I'm going to try flashing recovery once again, although I'm still pretty sure it worked before that since Clockworkmod says "Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.6, Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.6"
Will I do damage flashing it again?
EDIT: I pressed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery again and it waited for a little and then said that it was successful.
EDIT 2: Attempting another backup... And it's working!
No, you won't damage the it.
As I fly through different ROM's and do lot's of restores and backups I often have times where I need to reflash recovery.
look uot the link in my signature and try to do what it explanes......
Do all fases of rooting and you will have a perfectly rooted phone.
Also follow suggestions of CodeNameUnknown1.
Try man....Try

Great news!! Glad you got it sorted so far.
So, I have a problem.
I pressed the Backup option in ROM Manager, and the phone restarted, I'm now in Recovery mode... But I have a very strange problem. I can't make any selections.
I can scroll through the menu options fine, but can't select anything. If I press the power/lock button, the menu goes away and the clockworkmod logo in the middle just brightens up. If I press the home or menu buttons, the same thing happens, and if I press them again the menu just reappears. The return and search buttons do nothing except vibrate. What the hell?
That's an odd one.
Can you boot into recovery by turning phone off then holding vol- press power button and go to recovery from there? Does this do the same thing?
If same then I would uninstall ROM Manager and flash the recovery again via fastboot (in which case you can download the 3.0.2.8 version (page 3 ish of the development forum). Then try again.
Then re-install ROM Manager (which will show wrong version but ignore it).
At the moment I'm having trouble trying to turn off the phone at all :S looks like I'm actually going to have to open this horrible battery cover.
EDIT: After a battery pull I tried holding the Vol+ button and power button but it has just booted normally.
I can't actually try the vol- and power because my volume down button simply doesn't work...
EDIT 2: Uninstalled ROM Manager, reinstalled, booted into Recovery Mode, now it's backing up right next to me! Yay!
So I assume that, once it's done, I just take one big file it makes and put it on my laptop or something?
EDIT 3: Okay, one more step and I should be completely rooted with no hassles.
Will this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537) work for a branded phone? It says it requires a stock kernel. My phone meets all other requirements, but is the kernel of a Vodafone AU branded Desire HD 'stock' enough to work with this S-OFF tool? I would attempt it but I'm a little worried I might screw something up.

Link Down..
It looks that vache-android is down D=..
Does anyone has another link to that update.zip file?
--Sorry for my english
I had the same problem when trying to do the hard reset, then found better instructions. When you do the hard reset follow these steps exactly:
1. Place the rotation lock switch in the up position
2. Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock
3. With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4. Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5. Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
6. Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
7. Your Factory Data Reset has completed now follow the onscreen steps to setup your tablet.
Stock Rom (Update.zip) needed for step one can be found HERE
I have been unable to get my hands on the 3.2.1 update. Still looking. If anyone has it let me know so I can upload/share.
Edit: Both files required for this procedure are now available at the link I provided

Hi Cheeb!
The 2nd file that you provided a link for seems to be an entire image (based on size). Are you sure it is necessary to flash the original firmware first or do you think we can simply flash the 3.2.1 and then perform the Hard Reset?
Thanks!

I've never tried it that way (only because I did EXACTLY as the other post specified)...I think there was some sort of issue with the flashing of the 3.2.1 straight from ICS....either a boot loop or something similar....
I started a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592993 which some moderator in an apparent moment of tyranny closed.
However, before it was closed, someone had given an helpful answer. So if you run into trouble trying to revert back to honeycomb, flash the ICS 009 leak first and you can follow the other steps as detailed in this thread.
That is the only step that worked for me.

Yes....that is the only step IF YOU UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER WITH ICS AND NEED TO RETURN BACK TO HONEYCOMB....
BTW...why are you returning to honeycomb?? I have not done the whole bootloader bit because of the large amount of incompatibility with ICS..

What leak? 012?....if so...it will let you go back to HC..as far as the OTA ..well...I don't know...
If you want the "OTA" rom..then the 014 posted in the devs section IS the OTA your looking for...it has been confirmed from people who received the OTA (014) and people who flashed the posted rom (014) that they are the SAME.
As far as going back to HC...my MAIN concern was always having the opportunity to go back to it because of the touch screen issues.....the new STOCK rom that has been posted fixed those issues for the most part...there are still some compatibility issues but that is to be expected when moving to a new operating system....
Just flash the rom...screw the OTA..
OR if you have the 012 leak (or any other leak prior to the 014...and I say that only because I haven't tried to go back to HC from 014) then try this procedure that I've done damn near 20 different times which worked perfectly...

Yes, that is what I did, and I followed the steps in Post #2. The only difference is that I didn't use the 2007.04 zip file since I had already downloaded the 2007.01 download. All that did was ensure that I had one more update OTA to get to 2007.04 but it worked all the same.

I've currently attempted to root my Galaxy and everything went well until I tried to back up my applications.
I can't get clockworkmod to work, I hold vol up, power, and home and it shows my the android character laying back with a red ! in Android System Recovery.
Not really sure what to do. I've been searching for possible solutions but I can't find anything.
I followed this method, http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/
The FAQ section under it talks about two files that should be deleted as it overrides CWM but file explorer isn't finding them for me.
Just use the Root66 rooting method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 .
It sounds like whatever you did, it did not work and you still have stock recovery. Just do it through Odin as described in the thread linked - it is very easy.
Any possible chance of me bricking my phone by adding additional files along with the ones I've added? CWM seems to be working through the ROM Manager app but not working through Vol Up, Home, and Power.
You press power. Wait a second or two, then hold vol up and home.
If you hold power, the phone will never turn on. If you wait too long, the phone will boot into the OS. It's a timing thing.
I've done that and that's how I get sent to Android System Recovery.
I've downloaded CWM through ROM Manager but I can only access CWM right after I download I. It worked last night but today when I tried accessing CWM it sent me to Android System Recovery. I downloaded CWM again then it worked.
For some reason it seems CWM isn't sticking onto my device.
Oh, I misunderstood. To fix that, flash CWM (version 6.0.3.0) again. And when you reboot your device, before your device boots into the OS, drop into recovery mode. It will allow you to disable the script that keeps overwriting CWM for you (you will get this option when you attempt to exit CWM).
Oh wow, I did what you said my phone rebooted. I did vol up, power, and home and got sent into CWM. I think its working now
Thank you so much bro

They are crawling out of the woodwork.
There is nothing wrong with CWM. There is nothing wrong (mostly) with TWRP. They both work. Pretty well, in fact. Though, I still have issues with TWRP pretending I pressed the back button when I didn't.
Since you are on TWRP, tell me if you can reproduce this: Go into the timezone settings and start selecting different timezones as fast as you can (also works with typing filenames for nandroids, but this is quicker for reproduction). What happens on my device is I get knocked back into the settings page. It is 100% reproducible, but inconsistent with presses/time required to make it crash. I have seen other people complain about this, but not nearly as many as I would expect, given the severity and prevalence of the bug.
So, I've tried out a few different ROMs. AOKP (4.2.2) was very nice, but I lost a lot of the great Note2 functionality (Camera, screenshot, SPen, Multiwindow, etc). So I've flashed LabRats 2.2 (4.1.2), got my apps back, happy with it... except it won't activate. I keep getting Error 1500 when it tried to self activate. I had this show up on other ROMs, but it always resolved itself... not this time though. I can call and text, ESN, MEID, all that looks good, but it won't activate for mobile data, which makes everything useless when I'm on the road (no Ingress )
Anyways, I'm downloading the stock / unroot / reset flash count ROM, but before I do that, I'd like to fix this instead, since the battery life is wonderful on it (although, that could be because nothing is using mobile data lol)
Any ideas?

Have you tried updating your profile/prl?
Go into settings > system update > update PRL, then after that, update the profile in that same section.

4. FLASHING A ROM, RADIO OR KERNEL VIA DOWNLOAD MODE USING ODIN
Odin can be used to flash image files or parts of your phone. You can flash something as simple as a boot image or a complete system. Everything is packed in a tar or tar.md5 file on your PC and flashed via Odin which is a Windows OS program.
a. Make sure you have your tar file stored on your PC.
b. Reboot your phone to Download Mode [shut down your phone, then hold down the Home + Volume DOWN Buttons and press the Power Button for about 2 seconds until a Warning screen appears. Press Volume UP to continue to Download Mode.
c. Connect your phone via usb and the first box at the top under ID:COM should turn blue and have some text in it. If you are using Download Mode on your phone for the first time then you will notice drivers being installed to use it.
d. The site or page you downloaded the file from will usually give you instructions to set Odin but if not you want to load boot/recovery/system files to the PDA location and have 'Auto Reboot' and 'F.Reset Time' ticked and nothing else.
e. Click on 'Start' to start the flash. You can see what is happening in the text box in the lower left.
