[Q] HTC ONE V - Cyanogen 9 RC2 - Help with install

Hi everyone,
I have tried searching but was not able to find what I was looking for.
I would like to install Cyanogen 9 RC2 on my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757323
I currently have an early version of CM10 GSM Jelly Bean on there, which is missing some of the core features (they will come with time!). According to the instructions though, the zip file is supposed to contain a boot.img file to flash it.
Guessing its my newbieness, but, where do I get this file? How do I extract it from the archive to flash with?
Code:
Rom Installation:
Flash boot.img in fastboot
FACTORY Reset
[B]Flash the ROM[/B]
reboot
boot rom
reboot back into recovery
Flash GApps
Reboot into the system (first boot will take several minutes)
Thanks muchly! As well, if someone can point me to a handy user guide for this kind of thing, that would be awesome. As of now I'm only barely able to finger this stuff out. Took me over an hour to unlock my phone haha

:/
U READ THE INSTRUCTIONS WRONG :/
""DONT FLASH THE BOOT.IMG INSIDE THE ZIP""
U can simply use KISS kernel open :
http://www.mediafire.com/?7hq6ikra7w0kt
open the 1 wid cm9 written in it ..rename it to boot.img ...
this kernel has several advantages lik sweep2unlock and usb host <3

Interesting. So, I take this new boot.img and toss it in my /FastLoader folder, patch it, then fire up my CWM Recovery, load zip from SD and voila?
(I can't check it out now, MediaFire is blocked at work)

:/
read the instructions 1000 times :/
As of now i am out of tim wen free i'll giv u the whole instructions

Sorry, new to this stuff. Please don't hate!
I had just installed CM 10 which did require a boot.img flash, so I was a bit confused with the "Flash the ROM" portion of the install.
So with CM 9, I just plop the zip on my phone's SD, fire up recovery, load, bob's my uncle?

You need to flash a kernel for cm9 go to the KISS kernel thread http://www.mediafire.com/?7hq6ikra7w0kt pick a kernel and flash it via fastboot, just like you did the CM10 kernel, boot into recovery ,wipe data, cache and format system, flash the CM9 ROM and the Gapps, reboot!

Yey! Thanks man. Exactly what I needed. I'm installed and up/running.
Having a bit of an issue with the SD card, it won't detect it. Card works fine in my computer; tried another one as well. Tried mounting/unmounting, rebooting, violently protesting in the streets, nothings working.
I'm not even sure where to begin fixing that. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[Q] T-mobile samsung galaxy s2 roms

Hello XDA,
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2
Android version: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 3.0.8
This is another rookie posting about roms. This is my issue; I have been trying for quiet a long time to install a custom room on my galaxy S2 from T-mobile. However, I haven’t been successful in my goals. Rooting the phone is quiet simple I encounter no problems with that part. When it comes to installing a custom rom is a failure. For starters I would like to install is CM9 stable Version. Right now I’m on square one; as I’m writing this post I’m also rooting my devices. If you guys could guide me through the installation and kernels necessary it would really make me a happy camper. Thanks.

Your post is full of contradictions from top to bottom and that it makes
me somewhat confused....
You say:

How long? Because here you say:

Soooo....witch is it? Are you rooted for some time? Or you sre rooting
as you write this??
I'm not trying to be bashfull, but I don't understand what you want, because
if you managed to root your phone, then you also can read the instructions
on how to flash a ROM.
Every Dev. has in the 1-st post of each ROM how to do it step-by-step.
Furthermore, in the "General" section there is a sticky with the title:

It seems that you are able to get your device rooted (which isnt too difficult to do when on 4.0.4 or 4.0.3 on a t989). Flashing roms are very easy. Simply download the zip file from the download section of the CyanogenMod website (MAKE 100% SURE ITS THE T989 aka HERCULES rom) otherwise you will 99% permanently brick your phone and cant fix it. Very simple method usually if you are running ClockworkMod Recovery. Full data wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. flash rom from sdcard (zip file) and then if the rom requires (flash the gapps for that rom). Like the guy above me said, you can find a ton of posts here that have tutorials on how to do it, or even a YouTube video.

Thanks for the reply I'll try to look for post which could give me a meticulous guide on how to do it. One more thing, I already tried to install roms and i get an error (status 7).

That could be a lot of problems. There should be something on screen detailing what failed exactly.

3. go to mounts and storage menu and\
4. format /system
5. format/data
6. format cache
7. exit mounts and storage menu
6. go to advance
7. wipe dalvik cache
8. wipe battery stats
9. exit advance
10. install custom rom from sd card without rebooting

Thank you very much you are the best my phone boot :laugh::silly:

[Q] Newbie

Hi All, looking for a replacement for my xperia pro I found this phone. I'm pretty familiar with freexperia flashing and roms. Can I find something like that for this phone? I mean a decluttered rom that it's updated frequently. All captivates can be flashed to custom roms? do I need to unlock the bootloader or something like that?
Thanks!

Well long story short here this phone is real easy to root and flash a recovery onto. No bootloader unlock needed. And we have plenty of top-of-the line Roms that get updated often. :thumbup:

Hi again. I just got a used captivate from ebay. Looks like does have stock 4.0.4 I really want to install a decluttered rom since tethering is disabled by at&t. Is there a step by step tutorial to install new kernel and new rom? do I really need to backup imei as I read somewhere here? thanks!!

Hello,
from noob to noob my suggestion is to READ.
Consider to reserve your questions for something you are totally unable to face by yourself or you can't find by yourself just using "Search".
To answer your question, there's a huge "sticky" thread at the top of the general section. I'll find all the guides you need, including how to root, how to flash a recovery, and the thread related to new rom, each of them beginning with information and guide.
It's the very first thread.
No offense, i'm a noob me too.

for tethering... check the app store im sure there are free utilities that will allow you to tether ..
If you switch up your rom to JellyBean (as there are no stable FULLY working AOSP roms) you'll be missing some things.. ie: keyboard lights, pictures don't save with proper rotation, bluetooth headset, no ability to use skype ... some roms dont have wifi tethering working...
Rootbox 4.2.2 gives the best battery so far, keyboard lights don't work though...
Check out the "Everything SAmsung Glide" thread under development, read about the roms that are active and it should give you a great start!
Welcome to the community!

reading I think the best thing to do at this time is just root stock?

I find that the keyboard lights patch that ties lights to capacitive buttons does not make a real difference in battery life. I use it and my battery last as long as without it.

sorry to bother again, I haven't find how to update kernel and CWM. I have a xperia pro which I just have to start at fastboot, flash boot.img and then flash rom. how do I update CWM and kernel in a stock 4.0.4? thx!

You flash a kernel that's compatible with your ROM in recovery...that's it.

still don't get it.. kernel should be flashed at fastboot point (or whatever it is called for samsung devices). CWM recovery is supposed to flash roms... or am I missing something?

Ummm we flash with recovery here...you can open the zip file and paste the boot.img into manually if you like. That's about it. We don't deal with fastboot or hboot with this phone. Sony phones are a lot different. Like I said, download litekernel and flash with twrp or cwm. its as simple as that...as long as the version of the kernel matches the rom version. There is litkernel ics or for jb. You want litekernel ics. So do some reading then come back and ask questions.

I read the captivate (not glide) wiki and it's much clear:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_captivatemtd
step 1 put phone in download mode (like sony's fastboot mode).
step 2 flash custom recovery (which cointains the kernel I guess) using hemdall
step 3 boot into recovery and flash rom and gapps
I read several ppl lost imei info. I tried to backup but looks like requires root. Do I need to root stock, backup imei and then install the custom rom?
thanks!!

Hi, first three steps are done. I'm still looking for the best rom to daily use. About the step "flash kernel", do I have to flash litekernel ICS or JB depending the rom version of course, however, what about if I just want to use cyanogenmod provided kernel inside the zip? just I have to skip that step? what kernel do you recommend if I want to use cyanogenmod?
thanks for all the help guys, you have made me the job much easier!!

well for one you already flashed cobrato's kernel so you're ready to flash a stock based ROM like Trinity Vengeance...
if you want to flash an AOSP or CM based ROM like PACMAN or CM10.1 just download the ROM package, extract the boot.img that's inside the package, fastboot flash the boot.img, reboot to recovery [they already have their own recovery with the kernel], wipe data and cache and then flash the ROM package

bugs will always be there bro, what with all the modding and scripting that developers do on a ROM..you just have to find the right workarounds in my opinion

if you wanna flash forzaferrarileo kernel after flashing the rom just fastboot flash it or use flashtool..i dunno if you can use forzaferrarileo kernel to flash the rom, but i beleive you can do so since it has cwm recovery already

Make sure you have the latest version of Flashtool.
