I got a tmobile g2 off craigslist today and its already rooted with s-off. i want to flash cyanogenmod 7 have no idea how to go about it because my phone is already has a htc sence rom. can anyone help me out plz??? im asking questions cuz i dont wanna brick my phone like an idiot.
does the phone have clockwork revocery? if not download rom manager from the market and click flash recovery. if you have a rom installed you most likely have the recovery. still flash recovery to get the latest version which is required by cyanogenmod. download the rom you want with the gapps and put it on your sd card. boot into recovery and pick " wipe data/factory reset' after that choose "wipe cache partition". then "install zip from sd card" followed by "choose zip from sd card". then look around for the cyanogenmod and click on it. after it's flashed go to the gapps the same way you found the rom and flash them. reboot and you'll have your new rom.
any questions don't bother to ask.
ok thanks ill try it
anything you don't understand ask cuz we don't want anything to go wrong.
ok so i flashed a new rom and all went well. now when i try connecting to wifi (no dataplan) i cant for some reason. wifi starts but doesnt find my router. i try scanning and wifi turns off. i think its the new rom.. wifi worked fine before. what should i do??????? maybe find another rom??
btw i flashed android 2.3.1 gingervillain 1.4
Please just go read read read the guides and stickies. You'll be glad you did later when you dont have to keep asking questions to simple answers. And you'll be able to troubleshoot for yourself.
Things to think about:
1) Use ROM manager to make backups before you change anything significant
2) When switching roms, do a full data/cache/dalvik cache wipe before flashing
3) Don't do anything that you're not sure on. Research before you brick your phone.

Do a reboot (Usually these 2.3 builds require a reboot to fix WiFi). Did you wipe data and cache before flashing? You can also try a fix permissions.
i made a backup so its ok. and yea i did a data cache wipe.. ill try a reboot thx guys

If you are coming from CM6, I would wipe, cache, dalvik and data when you flash CM7. CM7 is updated "nightly," hence the term. The only other file you need to flash to run CM7 is Gapps. Just make sure you flash the latest gapps (0307) if you are flashing nightly 14. You should flash them in the same recovery session.
Once you are on CM7, when new nightly's come out, you can flash them on top of your current CM7, but it is best to do a nandroid backup before you do in case it messes something up. I also always wipe cache and dalvik before flashing over, although I don't think you have to. Also, if you flash, say nightly 15 over nightly 14, you need to flash gapps again in the same recovery session, otherwise your google apps won't run properly.
where can i find the latest gapps (0307) i cant find it
Ok, so I know the SD card is good because I was able to use it to flash hercules_PAC_jb-v17.0.0.zip and get it running; however, for some reason I cannot access the SD card in any way while on the phone. The phone shows that it's there but I cant access ant of the files I put on it.
Anyone else have this problem?
Got it too. Huh that's really strange actually... Oh well, I don't keep anything on my external SD anyway, its just for the CWM backups really
-------edit-------------------
OK so using ES file explorer, I can't access external SD through /SD card/external_SD. However I can get it through /external_SD. Just grant root permissions in settings and check allow up to root folder. That way you should be able to access everything on your external SD card

pacman rom flash problem!!!!

I'm getting real frustrated trying to flash this pacman ROM....I keep getting stuck on the booting logo it just won't go through the logo...I guess its boot looped...I did everything right on installing it right...wipe/factory reset,flash ROM,flash gapps,reboot...even tried wiping/factory reset,wipe cache,install ROM,install gapps,wipe davlik,fix permissions n reboot...I even tried format system....I don't know what to do now...I have no problem flashing mr1 build 6 AOKP ROM,and one before that was mr1 build 5 AOKP...and also before that I had the cm10 ROM....can somebody help me out here...I really want to check this ROM out....do I need to update my CMW recovery cause I'm working with 5.0.2.6.....or do I need to flash it from my sdcard instead of my internal sdcard cause that's were I flashed the rest of my ROMs....I got the AOKP mr1 build 6 ROM now but like I said I really want to check out pacman ROM...somebody help if somebody can????
You need to use Dark side Super Wipe and Super Cache Wipe. Had the exact same issue and all you need is to use those two zips and flash them because the wipe scripts are broken on CWM v5.X.X.
You aren't doing anything wrong, the recovery is. Get those and you will be fine!

+1 @ thatdude - please do your self a favor and upgrade that CWM version you have the new ones work just wonders plus as ROMs get updated they use different updater script to flash them and that version works fine if you use those super wipe scripts but just update and no more of those problems

Just remember not to use the dark side wipe after you updated your cwm, they break the recovery.
Whenever I try to flash CM 10.1 RC2 or CM 10 stable they flash correctly, but when I try to flash their corresponding Gapps, it fails to open them during the flashing and aborts, so I can't finish the flashing of CyanogenMod until they work. Any info on why this is happening or a solution to help me finish the process? PLEASE REPLY!!! I really need help thanks if anybody can help me though

Since no one else has offered info yet I'll try to help. First off, have you looked for similar problems within the official thread? CM10.1 Q&A >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138101
I regularly flash rom's and boot up without gapps to test drive first, then once I'm ready to do so I reboot into recovery and then flash the gapps package. What recovery are you using to install everything (TWRP or CWM)? Are you certain it's the corresponding gapps package (Jellybean vs ICS)? Are you following wipe procedures (cache/delvik)? Check out the thread in the link above and search through it ... good luck!
I figured it out now, but thanks anyway I really appreciate that you were willing to help. It was simple really. The Gapps didn't download completely, for some reason it would only download about 10mb out of the 91, probably because of the Internet connection.
For the past 3 days i've gone through hell and back with this phone.
To start off I rooted the phone, and that was working fine, my buddy was downloading something (idek what it is and I have no way to get ahold of him to ask him) and after that it busted. Then I somehow deleted my whole operating system.
Since then I have downloaded a 4.3 stock rom (os?) and I have successfully unbricked my phone. Now I have no service, and i'm 99% sure it's because all of my IMEI things are unknown. Now I figure that is an easy fix by downloading a modem?
Before I look into fixing my IMEI problems I would like to get back to 4.4.2 (Kit-Kat I think it was?)
I've downloaded countless ROMs, IMG files (converted to tar.md5), and many versions of Odin.
I've messed with Samsung Kies but I can just tell that this is a garbage program, and I have no clue what i'm doing.
What i'm asking here is help to getting me back to stock 4.4.2 (WITHOUT A ROOT) and possibly fix my IMEI problem and the problem I can't get 3g/mobile data working (snapchat/instagram did not work) (APN maybe?) (I haven't looked into these problems yet, could be super hard, could be fairly easy)
Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T SGH-i747 is the phone i'm currently working with.
The last thing I tried to do is flash with a boot.tar.md5 and system.tar.md5, it did NOT work, as I was not sure where to put those files at in odin. Boot = Bootloader and System = AP/PDA?
Sorry if I come off as a complete noob, this is literally last resort for me (I've been doing this for 3 days....) as I can probably suspect you guys are very tired of all of these help requests.
Thank you to everybody who reads this, and am looking forward to having a normal phone again.
Edit: First post here
Does the phone boot into download mode? Sounds like it does since you can use Odin.
To get the phone running, copy the latest cm11 or cm 12 to an sd card, copy cm11 Gapps or cm12 Gapps (download the version that matches the ROM you intend to flash), flash a custom recovery (I prefer CWM for the d2lte or Philz Touch for the d2lte), boot into recovery, do a full wipe, flash cm, flash Gapps, boot the phone.

sick thanks for the response homie.
i'm not exactly sure which CM to download, I went to the d2ltes since that's the closest thing to my device I found in that list.
I also went to cwm rom managers and downloaded the recovery setup, i'm guessing I convert that and flash it using odin and voila, I have cwm?
and for the cm11 gapps I went to this website and downloaded the zip file, going to just put that on my sd card with the CM (when I figure out which one to download)
am I headed in the right direction?
edit: okay I got cwm recovery on my phone... thats good
edit 2: alright downloading cm12 and alreayd have cmgapps in a zip ready to be put in my sd card. i'll let you know how installing it with cwm goes. thank you for your help man I really appreciate it.
edit 3: how would I go about installing it via owm? everytime I install from sd card it resets my phone, just go back into recovery and install the second zip? or is there a way I can install both at once?
Boot into cwm, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe dalvik, install cm1 from sd card, install gapps, reboot.
The i747 is also known as the d2lte so anything designed for the d2lte is good.

alright! couldn't thank you enough. like I said i'll keep you updated!
edit: i'm in the cwm recovery or w.e and there is a different keyboard as i'm doing this, does this transfer over to be my real keyboard after the cwm recovery stuff? if not, how do I get this keyboard?
edit 2: wow this is totally different, sick.. let me play around with it, i'm sure i'll have some questions.
alright, phone number is still not available, imei and imei sv is still not available, same with everything in the SIM status.
going to try and find a modem for my model.
no luck so far, if someone could help search for a MODEM for SGH-i747 AT&T s3 that would be great..
sorry for being so needy.. thanks for hanging in here and helping me out.
edit: I found this link but it's for 4.4.2... it says do not use it if you're on 4.3.... is it okay if i'm at like 5.1.1 cwm?
well, I cannot post the link and I do not want to find a way around to post the link incase a mod shuts this thread down. if you want the link you may PM me..
edit 2: okay so google play services does NOT work, and I need that in order to open skype.. so that's on another thing on the list of **** to fix. However I just downloaded an apk and I need to put it in system/apps but i'm not sure where to find that... i'll probably end up downloading it on the phone and dropping it in with a file manager.
edit 3: none of this worked, I still need google play services to get installed..
Does the phone boot to the desktop? Which rom did his try? Try the latest cm10.2 for the d2lte.
Are you able to install a terminal app or Samsung phone info app?
Try and find the apk version of the app and just install it from the file browser.

It tells me "It cannot be installed". I will find 10.2 for d2lte... assuming I find the corresponding GApps.
I also could have ran all of the other google apps... "google +, playstore, youtube, etc"
edit: I cannot find cm 10.2, lowest I can find for d2lte is 11. should I try that instead?
These are all the zips i'm installing with cwm when I wipe/reset my phone totally:
Calkulin's Google Play Service modded (so google play services works)
cm-11
gapps-kk-20140606
and I am currently messing with modem files to get my service back, i'm about to try my second one.. wish me luck!
edit: I can't get my baseband model to show, nor my imei numbers to come, they all stay unknown.. if someone would like to do some sort of 1 on 1 that would be awesome.
You could also try the cm for the d2att.

trying it now! should I use a specific gapps? maybe for 5.1.1? cause 12.1 uses 5.1.1 if i'm not mistaken.
There are separate gapps for cm10.2, cm11, and cm12.
It sounds to me like there is a problem with the modem and bootloader combination on the phone.
What specific bootloader version is on the phone?

so after I download cm12.1 and cm12gapps, I should look further into the bootloader/modem problem?
i've tried a few modems for i747 and i've had no luck so far unfortunately, if someone else reading this has had experience or knows someone who has experiences null baseband / imei numbers let me know!
edit: oops, my mistake.. just saw the last part of your post now. i'm not sure how to find out my bootloader.
Use the terminal app and type getprop ro.bootloader.

Alright I've now figured out that I do NOT have ANY efs files for samsung galaxy I747UCUFNJ1.
I have the imei number from the back of my phone.
I tried the EFS pro method and when I click "backup" an error pops up and says "Block device does NOT exist"
I'm so confused and I need help lol
wow, I fixed it! I installed the correct modem corresponding to my baseband / bootloader something like that.. wow. most stressful 4 days of my life
ty so much
Glad you got it working. This is why I kept asking about the modem and suggesting that the modem doesn't match the bootloader.
