Hey Fellaz,
another noob, another question:
I'm kinda getting into the process to root my device and install a custom ROM, which in my case will be Slim Bean.
But first I want to wait for the official JB Update via OTA and after that i want to root my phone and install the custom ROM.
My Question won't be how to do it, don't worry.
Here it goes:
When i receive the update, will the rooting process be any different from when you do it on ICS ? I mean there are lots of guides on the internet, how to flash fastboot and CWM and so on.
There are links to fastboot, to the htc drivers, to the CWM, the files you need to do that. My Question is, will those be outdated when you have JB or does all stay the same ?
The same for Slim Bean, will the flashing process stay the same if I have official JB or will the files change which i need to use (hboot and stuff) ? I just coudn't find information if all the necessary files only run if you go from ICS>JB.
In my case i will be going from official JB>custom JB rom.
Jesus my english sucks when i'm excited, sorry !
Thanks in advance and have a nice day !
Nope....nothing changed. All in the same way
thanks for the reply !
And what will be about the hboot, if I get the official JB update, will there still be a need to chance hboot in order to flash Slim Bean ?
Don't think so, slim bean is a JB rom ? And after the update you will be on a JB hboot ...well that's clear as glass i think
alright thanks, yes Slim Bean is an AOSP based JB rom
As I saw in the JB Thread there will be a problem and in the second post of the JB discussion thread, it says that out there is only 1 rom which supports the hboot version coming with the JB Update.
So what's the truth now ? Can't anyone make a clear statement ?

Can we Update any Custom ROM OTA? as same applicable for stock ROM where we gets update notification & it does update itself ?
coz i just worried abt latest updates which aren't always readily available for custom roms in Cwm format,where in stock rooted ROM the update can be done by temp. unrooting & flashing back stock recovery.
So, any1 understand or gone through this issue plz help me forward to proceed .
yes i will be implementing my roms with GOOMANAGER which will say when a rom is offered OTA
hmm! thanks for the reply dude!
bt i need to know now is bcoz all custom ROMS available are having v.2.22.xxx.x, & in India i've stock updated with v2.24.xxx.x, So can i get/apply the same update OTA on any custom ROM or ur cm9 also now?
if yes then how?( it would be AWeSomE.)
No only pure stock ROMs can receive OTA updates.
OK got it. :good:

Also i want to ask is how do i move the factory installed apps in my cellphone (like facebook, etc) to SD card since my phone is already rooted... please go easy with the language i am a noob with such stuff so far... I did try looking out for the solution in other threads but could not find the answer (or maybe couldn't understand it )...

There you have the oficial CyanogenMod 7 rom support, instalation and development issues support.
In my opinion it is the best 2.3 alternative rom for p350.
The steps i know only in portuguese, but i believe i will find it in this link too.
The factory installed apps, the most one you will install with a Google package inside this link too.
The others you can download again on play store.
following a different guide i was trying to install CM Invasion V2 ROM.. i never got to the flashing ROM part... i was backing up the current ROM unsing ROM manager and my cell fone bricked... after banging my head... looking for solutions on the net and again banging my head... i finally was able to revive my cell fone (using kdz updater)... all this is a risky business
can anyone give me a near perfect guide for flashing ROM without using ROM manager.. please..
You'll have to flash a custom recovery first. Amonra is very stable. Then you can make a nandroid backup of your current rom from the recovery for you to go back to. Flash the rom you like and enjoy. If you need to do back to your original rom, just restore back from your nandroid backup

now flash recovery by going on thread then do steps
for flashing roms do following steps on recovery
1.creat nandroid backup only once not for everytime you flash
2.then go in wipe section and wipe all data
3.then go to flash zip manu and find rom then flash
4.sometimes some rom needs advanced steps for flashing like cm 7 official needs to format/system(steps for it it mentioned by the developer on his thread)
done reboot then enjoy flashing.
hope this will help you...........................
in future do not install recovery from rom manager it will brick your phone untill it gets perfect for our device
Remember we have a wiki page for this phone with an all-in-one guide for modifying it (rooting, recovery, custom rom installation, troubleshooting). I try to keep it updated, nice and clean (kinda hard some times).
About Android versions: The Optimus ME comes with Froyo (2.2) there is no other official firmware for it. CyanogenMod 7 is based on Gingerbread (2.3) which now has official support and is working pretty good now (yes, previous versions were slow, buggy but now they're pretty stable)... Honeycomb (3.0) is only for tablets, so it's not coming to P350. CyanogenMod 9 is based on Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), which for this device is still a work in progress, so don't expect a timeline nor a soon release. CyanogenMod 10 based on Jelly Bean (4.1) is still a myth for the P350...
I hope to have answered your questions...

thanks so i better get back to stock and wait for the official jb upgrade? i guess i wont get any upgrade when i stay on cm10, will i?
So its possible to go from CM10, back to stock, then when the jb ota is available, we can upgrade to that ? I have a branded phone running arhd 9.6 and my carrier only released 4.0.4 on Friday. I'm thinking of going to CM10 to enjoy the jb experience.
Yeah mate
btw, aussie carriers are slow at releasing updates, so it'll be awhile
Hello everybody,
i hope my Question is simple, my friend have a HOX with O2 brand and like to root his device for custom roms. My question is, can he install every ROM included the Jelly Bean ROMS. He made the last OTA and his Device runs on hboot 1.36 but he doesn't have the supported CID. Is this needed anymore since the last OTA?
greetings ShrekDTH
Re: [Q] HTC ONE X Will not boot and wont turn off
Provided that you have hboot 1.36, you can flash every ROM out there.
Restrictions apply to AOSP 4.1.2 ROMs, you'll need a special boot.img in order to flash them.
Ok, thx for your answer, my Friend would be happy to hear this

That's really not needed, but you still need to update your firmware/bootloader before installing a 4.2.2 AOSP ROM. If you read the CM10.1 thread, it was discovered that older (ICS) bootloaders do not play nice with JB 4.2 AOSP and will cause random reboots. CM10.1 (don't know about others) also won't install unless you're on a compatible bootloader.
To get the latest bootloader/firmware, you need to:
a) Odin to the latest AT&T JellyBean package
or
b) Download the I747 firmware package from here http://invisiblek.org/sgh-i747/ and flash it in recovery.
lol which part was uneeded thanks that is the EXACT answer i was looking for. i did find the smaller bootloader update package so i didnt have to install the full firmware..............and now i realize thats exactly what you linked to as well LMFAO sorry but thanks!!
