First I want to thank all the devs and everyone who created these threads chalk full of info I needed to learn/how to root my g2, flashing roms, and etc. I went crazy and flashed every kernal rom I get my hands on lol. But now I'm bored flashing roms and kernals...need something new....so I decided to look into radios...(i know flashing radio can brick phone) but the idea of finding better signals or faster 4g speeds I couldn't help it...lol
Normally I don't like asking I perfer using the search engine to find what I need...only way I learn...but I cant find the answer to my question....
I recently flashed radio 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17...everything working great no problem...but when I look into about phone...it tells me my baseband version is 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2...umm where did that U and M2 come from? What does it mean? Nothing broken everything works fine...I still want to know why.....
I want to know how and the why's lol

I don't have any opinions on 1 or 2. As for 3, you do have some choices. A few of the options are, a leaked official AT&T ICS for the Nitro, nightly or RC2 for CM9, and now we even have an early preview of CM10 (Jelly Bean). Best thing to do is check out the Development sub-forum and see what you might like.
i came from a galaxy s vibrant recently to this phone.
to be honest, I was kind of disappointed at first with the battery life and lag, but that all went away once I rooted, flashed CM9 (the recent nightlies are faaaaaast) The battery life got better over time once I recalibrated it also, but now I went to the hyperion extended battery and battery life seems to be a lot better.
The HD screen is <3 When you look at a device without the HD display you'll be wondering why are the words so pixelated
I think I'm going to install CM10 preview soon too once I get my SD card.. 2gb is not enough. A CWM backup takes up almost 1 gig ._.
i was reading HO!NO! P930 UDT v18f 04112012-CWM-Flashable! thread. whats this unbricking people are talking about?

unbricking is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488 It's the only way to flash stock firmware in case of trouble.
And where is the tread about CM10 you're speaking? I can't find, eager to flash preview

It's in the development thread. If you want stable, go with cm9 first. Then you can compare to CM10.

1. Coming from the Samsung Galaxy S, I love this phone! The HD screen is great and it has everything I want/need in my phone: LTE, performance, and hackability/dev support.
2. Like people have stated there are a few good ones. I'm currently running CM9 RC1 (planning to flash to HO!NO!'s Full throttle soon) and haven't had any problems so far. At first it was a little rough but after a few days it settled and it's been pretty smooth since, no issues. I tried flashing full throttle but had some issues installing it (it would bootloop). I would say Full Throttle would be a little more work to get working but from I've read once it's working it's fantastic. HO!NO! is putting a lot of work into it though and has frequent releases and improvements, and he usually incorporates the latest CM9 updates.
I haven't tried any others but I've heard the ICS leak runs very well and would probably make a good daily driver, just be prepared to unbrick your phone should you want a different ROM in the future. If you don't want to flash ROMs that often, I'd say go with a CM9 RC or the ICS leak. If you don't mind flashing ROMs then try out some of the other ROMs (Andasa's CM9 Hybrid, HO!NO!'s Full Throttle, CM9 Nightly, CM10) and see what you like.
3. I believe this has been answered
Hot damn! i just got the phone and im loving it! but im a total noob at this phone.
I need help pointing me in the right direction of rooting/installing cwm/Flashing a rom
Because i see nothing about root just a bunch of topics about failed root attemps.

It depends what firmware your device came with as some of them aren't rootable. For me I used SuperOneClick (v2.2 I think). You might need to attempt it a few times, (i think I had to disconnect and reconnect at one point as well to get it to finish).
You could also started out by following the unbricking guide to unbrick the phone (and follow the Easy CWM unbrick guide to make unbricking easier in the future). This would give you complete freedom to try any ROM (like the ICS leak with CWM) and from what I've read, fix some problems with the sdcard as well
p.s. Check the development section for rooting guides. I believe the v10j firmware is the rootable one.

The version we are talking about would be under baseband version in about phone (settings)
It should say P930 followed by something then V two numbers and a letter, this is your version.
P930-*********-V11a (for example. The V11a version here is the one I have and is root able)

newbie here to all this..
last week I finally rooted my DHD to turn s-on to s-off and after days of reading post after post I finally got it done, anyway whilst doing this it has now downgraded my phone software to an older version. 2.3.3 sense 2.1
can someone point me in the right direction to where I can download the stock updated rom for this phone or is there a custom rom that's even better than the stock one that I could use.? ive been looking in the Android Development section but there's way too many to go through & I don't want anything to fancy just stock HTC looking will do just great.. plus I don't want to run the risk of bricking the phone as im very new to this sort of thing so can do without trying different roms out as I was happy with the HTC look of the phone... and is it easy to upgrade as its taken me near on a week of reading to find the b*lls to root it.. LOL
thanks for any help..

Best thing if you want Stock ROM is Android Revolution HD, BEST stock based ROM (Sense 3.0, 2.3.5 Gingerbread)
Although you might like to experiment with other Android versions, like AOSP (exactly as Google intended it), AOKP (slightly modified), CyanogenMod (Different thing altogether) or even MIUI (if you like the iPhone's simplicity)
Hi
right now I'm at 4.1.1 official rooted rom from ATT but would like to upgrade my i747 to 4.3 . (I know everyone wants to)
Can anyone tell me the exact procedure how can I achieve that by building a rom for myself.
or is it not possible until google releases some special code
I know this question is a little vague but I wish to start learning development for android by building a rom for my phone

No one is going to tell u how to "build a rom" in a single post! U have to research, read everything that u can. I'm sure people will be glad to help with questions u have along the way after u have learned the basics of what it takes, but it's sort of ludicrous to ask such a vague question.

Might want to check out this thread for starters...
It would be easiest for someone starting out (like myself) to wait for cm to get 4.3 booting and then start..so you know if you broke it or not. That's what someone told me. Feel free to do what you want

Hello all,
Not new at all to rooting and roms, the problem I'm having is trying to figure out what I might need to do in order to get my phone up and running the way I want. I'm currently rooted running Android version 4.4.4. I'm still on the stock TouchWiz. I was wondering if there are any roms out there for this android version. All I can really seem to find on the site are 5.0 and above. I really don't want to upgrade if I don't have to, but I really want something highly customizable if it exists. There have always been plenty of great roms out there for Samsung devices...was hoping maybe someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks to all in advance!
Look in the development section. You'll have to drill down but there are Kitkat roms there.
Your missing out on some great stuff staying on Kitkat.
