Hello,
I have just rooted my LG Nitro with the Bin4ry root kit, followed a video tutorial. Can't post links because this is my first post on XDA Developers, unfortunately.
Everything seemed to work as expected.
Then I installed ROM Manager, and have proceeded with install instructions for CyanogenMod specific to my phone (I will post this after the end of my message as a reference since again, no links are possible).
In these instructions I began at "Installing a Custom Recovery Image" because the rooting instructions do not work for my phone (it has ICS installed, hence the need for the Bin4ry root method). I'm following the steps to the letter, and got stuck at "Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery" - when I try doing this, SuperUser pops up and I grant permission to ROM Manager, and then it reboots - but instead of getting any option to install CyanogenMod, it hangs at the LG logo boot screen, with some command line-ish startup text along the top:
Secure booting Error!
Cause: boot certification verify
Enter the fastboot....
Enter the fastboot....
Long time no see!
-----
It will hang here until I hold down the button for 10 seconds or pull the battery. It will reboot normally afterwards though, thankfully. The phone is still working as-is so I'm not dead in the water, but my goal was to install CyanogenMod... is this still possible?
Thank you in advance.

Installing a Custom Recovery Image
If the LG Nitro HD already has a custom Recovery Image installed, you may skip this section.
Search for ROM Manager in the Market (free or paid) and install the app.
Open the ROM Manager application and select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
Click on LG Nitro HD and then give the app root permission if it prompts you.
If it hangs after that and freezes up, just allow the app to Force Close. Then open it back up and repeat steps 2 & 3.
Once the flash was successful, you should see a dialog box that says "Successfully flashed ClockworkMod recovery!".
Press OK.
The ClockworkMod Recovery should now be installed on the LG Nitro HD.
Flashing CyanogenMod
If the LG Nitro HD has been rooted, unlocked, etc. through steps other than the method described above or running a custom ROM other than CyanogenMod and you are having issues flashing or booting CyanogenMod, it is recommended the LG Nitro HD be returned to stock & start over with the full instructions provided above.
Method via Recovery
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Optional: Select backup and restore to create a backup of current installation on the LG Nitro HD.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The LG Nitro HD should now boot into CyanogenMod.
Method via ROM Manager
Launch RomManager.
Optional: Choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to update to the latest version.
Select the Download ROM option from the main menu in the ROM Manager.
Select the CyanogenMod option, and then choose the latest version of CyanogenMod from the menu.
Optional: When you select the latest version of CyanogenMod, check the Google Apps option.
Once the ROM is finished downloading, it asks if you would like to Backup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache.
If Superuser prompts for root permissions check to Remember and then Allow.
The LG Nitro HD will now reboot into the recovery, wipe data and cache, and then install CyanogenMod. When it's finished installing it will reboot into CyanogenMod.
LG has a locked boot loader, that is the reason for the security error. To get around that use the following unbricking guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645.
Since you already have root, just make sure you complete steps 1 - 3, then jump to step 9.

So, I've tried using a mod cooked by a online kitchen (cookmyrom se) and now I have a Desire in a very strange condition -
1. It has cyanogen mode, but without the Market application.
2. It has a terminal emulator.
3. It has clockworkmod, but I can't make it download the recovery thingy that actually makes it useful (even though I have both wifi and 3g, checked using the browser).
4. ADB on windows doesn't recognize the device. I updated it (last time I rooted the device was a lot of time to go).
5. The device is rooted (I managed to run terminal commands as root - su, etc).
6. Any time I try to put a Mod as update.zip it gives me an error about the signing (I tried official mods too :S).
7. Current version: 2.2
Baseband version: 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
Kernel version: 2.6.34.5-cyanogenmodandroid giulio-laptop#7
HBOOT: 0.80.0000
Radio: 5.09.00.08
So , now all I want is to get some kind of control back - at the least the ability to dump a new mod. Any Desire expert can piece up the puzzle I created and help me?
1 Flash gapps
2 It should have
3 Your confusing rom manager and CWM. If you are rooted CWM should be on the phone when you manually boot in to recovery.
4 Either driver issues or adb isn't enabled on the phone.
5 Great
6 Turn of signature verification (in recovery go to install zip from sd, there is the option)
If you want to flash new rom:
Put a rom on the sd
Boot in to recovery (without rom manager)
Wipe data/factory reset and cache
Install zip from sd
Reboot recovery
First of all, thanks for helping. Unfortunately, I understood maybe half of what you wrote
1. I googled it and it seems that I still need a facility to flash stuff, which I don't have since I can't install CWM recovery.
2. I am. I have rom manager installed, but I can't flash Clockworkmod using rom manager. It says "Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection (I have) and that your sd card is inserted and has enough space (inserted and has >1GB of free space)"
I don't understand what do you mean by
"If you are rooted CWM should be on the phone when you manually boot in to recovery."
I think I am rooted. As I said, I have root privileges and as I said, when I boot into recovery I only have 4 options (reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition).
4. I have both drivers and newest adb. I have all development options, including debugging on the phone (this is what you meant right?) enabled. I can try reinstalling everything.
6. Again - I don't have this option.
Bump. Still no solution, and I tried every unlocker method out there. Please help.
I rooted my wildfire HBoots 1.01.0001 using AlpharevX from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318. After that to install a custom rom, i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396 Pt 3- flashin your first rom..but couldnt go beyond the first step because after clicking on the problem button there was no option to download busybox.
Also, after starting the titanium backup, it showed that root access has failed. what am i supposed to do now? please help..
You have to flash Superuser. Sorry, I missed listing it in my tutorial thread.
- Download this file and place on your SD Card: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
- Then, reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery (Point 2 in the "Flashing your first ROM Post")
- Flash the file you just placed on your SD Card from within Clockworkmod Recovery (Point 5 in the "Flashing your first ROM post")
Then, reboot your system, check whether your app drawer has a "Superuser" Icon in it or not. If it does, the root process is complete, and you can now use Titanium backup without problems, and start following the ROM flashing process again.
Hi guys
Just bought a seconhand Desire. The previous owner had wiped it all clean for me but I dont have marketplace! I have downloaded g apps and installed it from SD card and it installs. But when the phone boots up again there is still no marketplace! I have tried and tried.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
go to revolutionary.io and S-OFF the phone.
go to market and download 4EXT recovery control (I think there is free and paid version)
open the app, select the "touch" tab, and select a recovery (the latest recoveries are unavailable on non-paid version)
Then reboot into recovery (power off, hold volume down + power, wait for bootloader to flash green text (ignore it), press volume down to highlight recovery, press power) Once it boots into recovery you can either a) flash google apps b) flash a completely different ROM.
-------------------------------
a) If you don't want a custom ROM, just download gapps, place it on your sd-card (while in recovery, you can plug the phone into pc and select "toggle usb storage"), then go to "install from sd-card" and choose the .zip file you put on your sd-card. Once the process finishes you will have all google apps.
-------------------------------
b) If you would like to flash a custom ROM (I would, they're awesome), then backup your ROM (from backup & restore). Then go to wipe/format and select Wipe ALL partitions (except for sd-card)
Then download a ROM from the android development section, stick it on your sd-card and flash it (install zip from sd-card).
Some ROMs require a custom HBOOT partition before you flash a ROM, and you can get the from alpharev.nl (always make sure to check the md5 sums of the hboot, there is a tool on my troubleshooting guide which does this for you, otherwise you can brick your phone). Always change the hboot BEFORE flashing the ROM
LAYMAN'S GUIDE TO INSTALLING CM11 KITKAT FIRMWARE ON THE OUYA
Download the zip file in this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYwZ_l31-G8 youtube video description,follow this guide or follow my directions taken from his guide and made slightly different,all thanks go to the original creator without him i could not write this, i have done as i and others wished to know how to install cynogenmod CM11 firmware kitkat software on their ouya console.
STEP 1. This i cannot really guide you on in depth,you must have already installed clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.2 if you do not have it you cannot do this firmware flash,you can download and use a tool called ouya oneclickrecovery.zip you extract it on your pc and run the .bat file in the folder for windows you extracted if on xp like me,but you must have fastboot and also adb drivers installed and once you make sure the ouya has clockworkmod recovery on it and you go into recovery and made a valid backup made in clockworkmod recovery,i suggest you go into the root of
your ouya (the main storage where sdcard and other folders reside)
and copy the clockworkmod folder with the backup in to an external drive,my guess here is you could copy the backup folder to restore from if you go back to ouya later.
STEP 2.Copy cm-11-20140510-UNOFFICIAL-ouya.zip, gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip, ouyabootmenu-mlq-v2.0.4.zip, OuyaCWMrecovery6.0.3.2.img, recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-ouya.zip, if you watch the video you can follow that guide but i will not be installing ouya-keylayouts.zip so i'm skipping that. Just copy all those files to your ouya sdcard not an external sd card the ouyas internal sdcard,you must have these to do the firmware flash.
STEP 3.Now once clockwork is on and you are backed up reboot into recovery i just use rom manager app and choose reboot recovery option for this task it's easier,you will need to download that.Once in recovery you can go to step 4.
STEP 4.in recovery mode (clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.2 ) choose install from zip option then installzip from sdcard and go to download find clockworkmod 6.0.4.7.zip file and select it scroll down to yes and click it when it says completed successfully go to reboot and click on no if asked after clicking reboot,you now are back to the ouya main screen go to rom manager app again choose reboot into recovery option,you should now be in the newer blue tone clockworkmod recovery menu version 6.0.4.7
STEP 5.choose wipe factory data reset then go back by scrolling down and selecting go back
STEP 6.Now select wipe cache and wipe the cache then go down to go back and click that,your back to the main recovery menu again
STEP 7.Now go to advanced and choose wipe dalvik cache and wipe it and go down to go back and choose that to land at the main recovery menu again
STEP 8.Click install from zip and choose install from sdcard then choose download folder then choose ouyabootmenu-mlq-v2.0.4.zip and install it then choose go back
STEP 9.Click install from zip and choose install from sdcard then choose download folder then choose cm-11-20140510-UNOFFICIAL-ouya.zip and install it then choose go back
STEP 10.Click install from zip and choose install from sdcard then choose download folder then gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip and install it then choose go back
STEP 11.Now choose reboot system and say nop to the following question,the system will now reboot and a menu appears,this is bootmenu do not touch anything.You will now boot into Cynogenmod C11 kikat firmware
STEP 12.Follow the setup procedure you need wifi for this i believe but don't quote me?
Job Done PHEW!
UPDATE: If you already have rooted and installed clockworkmod recovery then simply download the file linked at the top and extract it,then start at STEP 2.
A COULE OF ADDED NOTES: I had setup xbmc with addons prior to the cm11 installation and i moved it to an external drive upon returning from cm11 to stock ouya firmware i found: If you simply install the xbmc apk you used before because you moved the app all the attributing files are kept to the external drive and upon reinstallation the files are put back and therefore no reinstalling addons or downloading them is necissary.
ALSO NOTED: I found backing up the previous system before before CM11 installation does not allow you to restore from it,i think it's because android secure gets wiped or something?
ALSO NOTED IS: CM11 is not perfect but it is damn good to say the least,some bugs are browser closes at sudden intervals but does reopen to the last page still logged in?
Also if vpn unlimited is activated it reopens wifi as primary connection,this then disables the client working with ethernet plugged in until i disable wifi,also when vpn unlimited is automaticaly re-enabling the wifi the settings menu becomes inaccessible.
MORE IMPORTANTLY: To prevent the visual bugs or 99% of them turn on Disable HW overlays in developer options,enable developer options by going to settings/about tablet/hang over build number and click multiple times until developer options enabled message comes up.
Updated 20/10/2017
The youtube video no longer exists I realize this due to recently getting a new ouya yesterday it arrived, I already bricked then unbricked it and then modded it a couple of times before trying with my guide here which I had forgotten existed to be honest, in t but using this new package aposed to the package from the youtube linked above I got it going well again just swap the files in the guide to the ones in the below webpage, just hit the big red download button on the page to download.
https://www.s-config.com/cyanogen-mod-and-the-ouya/
Also you can also use this link to simply root the ouya to on it's own it's a .apk file an android application that you execute clicking on it from the download folder, for access to download folder use a ouya file manager like filepwn I believe it is , package of the kingo root app is here: https://mega.nz/#!Zcxw0Q7a!Vc-Fw7eOhekU98-phgSdHjj_vNyztV2EdOIvWoY26Qk
This lot is becoming hard to acquire now so get them and hold them for a rainy day is my advice here.
Good guide. It should help a lot of people get the most out if their OUYA.

A little more help on step one please...
Nice guide, but it seems that the first step if one of the most important, could you be a little more specific? Thanks for this guide I was like crazy searching for something like this
Hello, i've spent my entire night reading guides on this forum and youtube, but every guide is different and i ended up super-confused and frustrated so i decided to register and ask.
I've got an Xperia Arc S and i updated to ICS 4.0.4 using Sony Companion. I've seen some videos of Xperia Arcs with amazing interfaces (Jellybean and Kitkat) so i decided to try to install them because im getting SIM errors in the middle of calls with ICS.
I managed to unlock the bootloader by myself with Android Studio.
For the guide im following it says i should prepare 3 things before i install CyanogenMod 10 (Bootloader unlocked, Root the phone, and install CWM recovery).
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, but it won't let me install CWM recovery.
Like i said i have an Arc S 4.0.4 with ICS and the CWM installations i find only work with 2.3 Gingerbread. People say for ICS you need to download an CWM auto installed from the market (X-part). But i installed that thing, i tap on the Install CWM tab and it says installation complete but after i restart i can't get into recovery mode, tried pressing volume up, volume down, back button, etc. Also tried the "Reboot phone into recovery mode" on the app i downloaded but i continues to boot normally, no recovery.
What should i do?
This are the steps i made on a notepad but im stucked:
1. Unlock bootloader [DONE]
2. Root phone [DONE]
3. Install ClockWorkMod Recovery. [Stucked here]
4. Download CyanogenMod 10 anzu + Google apps.
5. Download "Unlock SE xperia".
6. Download Flashtool
7. Copy zips to SD card (Cyanogen zip + google apps zip)
8. Copy boot.img from Cyanogen to "Unlock SE Xperia/fastboot_with_android_usb/fastboot".
9. Plug the phone and put in fastboot mode (blue led).
10. Open command prompt on "Unlock SE Xperia/fastboot_with_android_usb/fastboot"
11. Check everything is ok with the command "fastboot devices" Intro
12. Run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (I assume this is how you flash that kernell thing).
13. Unplug phone and access recovery mode with Power buttom + back button.
14. Select option "wipe data/factory reset"
15. Select option "wipe cache partition"
16. Select option "advanced", "wipe dalvik cache".
17. Select option "install zip from sd card" and select Cyanogen's zip
18. Repeat 17 but install the google apps' zip this time
19. Reboot system now
20. End.
Are those steps correct?.
Thank you.
I solved it, thanks for the lack of replies anyways lol
