[Q] Newbie need Helping : upgrade rom for incredible 2

I am a new newbie in Android!! i hv just bought incredible 2, and unlocked it ( used code) to use GSM. Reading many thread in this forum and it made me confusing.
My incredible 2 got: Baseband : 20.23W.30.0803U_0.99.01.0225_2 and build number:1.34.605.4 CL341571.
. Which rom ( official or custom) i can upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.3?? we using rom for US? how about the battery after upgrading? how to root it??
Thanks so much if u can advise me!!

first of all, this has nothing to do with development and is in the wrong forum.
looks like you managed to get a 2.2 froyo version. First thing I would do is use alpharevx to s-off your phone before letting it upgrade to 2.3 (if you let it OTA to 2.3 you'll lose the ability to root it)
after that, start reading up on the forums for roms... I would recommend RMK40's debloated gingerbread.

[Q] Noob Help....

Hi.
I recently got my Desire HD (changed from Sony Ericsson X10) and am using it legitimately at the moment.
I just have a few questions about rooting that i wasn't able to find elsewhere etc.
1. If i root my phone, and HTC release the ICS update, am i still able to do this?
2. What is the easiest/safest way to root my phone? (2.3.5, Sense 3.0)
3. Is it worth me rooting my phone? (i rooted my SE X10 but that was to over clock it and make it faster but i'm more than happy with the speed of my DHD).
Thank you.

1. If you keep the stock ROM, you are able to upgrade (I think).
2. Search for guides. There are many out there. SuperOneClick may be the easiest one.
3. Yes, you can do so much more than just overclock!

You can always root and flash a custom rom. Problem is when ICS rolls out from your carrier and you revert to stock ROM your phone could potentially revert to be locked to your carrier.

I purchased my DHD in Feb 2011, and kept it stock for a few weeks because I was new to Android and Smart Phones. After getting used to it I Rooted and S-Off which is really simple with the DHD and tried a few roms.
I was forever running Quadrant to see if my score would improve but there was no real point the speed was really very good with only occasionally noticeable lag on when lots of pages were open.
I was on CM7 for the last 6 months or so and found that it recently felt a little laggy and sticky and I have only yesterday made the jump to Ice Cream Sandwhich for the DHD. If you are looking to root be sure to give this rom a try it's really something else forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460820# it's breathed new life into my DHD.
You will find you get a bit better battery life out of a non stock setup too.

1. No.
2. AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit by attn1 found in the DHD Dev section).
3. Yes.

Stay rooted and never use stock roms, custom roms like arhd would have ICS official well before it is released ota to you.

[Q] Simple KitKat 4.4 help requested

Hello there! Im here with a request if someone can help with unlocking, rooting, clockwork mod and custom rom stuff.
Im using Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM) Maguro running on the lastest android 4.3 and since 4.4 is out from 2 weeks or so i really wanna get it on my phone even when Google wont update our gnexus with their latest os. I know the current state of the KitKat 4.4 AOSP versions is not 100% stable and mainly those gfx issues when rotating and stuff but ill be okay.
I know there are alot of guides out there but all i need is a simplified one with intel from where to start to where to end it.
There are many stuff on the internet ive already searched but somehow i dont do it because of all the info inside it.
I know to read and before my galaxy nexus i had the Sony X8 using custom rom GDX+ and it worked well everything was easy. But with my nexus now i think there are more things to do now.
All im asking is the easiest way to get it ready to flash the package and the GAPPS. (i already picked the one from here and i have the gapps on my pc) Now i need info on how to unlock and everything with clockworkmod and backup my current os.
Thanks in advance!

No offense, but if you can't follow the guides in here on how too unlock/custom recovery/root then no one in the world can.
The methods showed here are simplest as it gets!!
As a last alternative, try the GNEX TOOLKIT V11.1.0

Hi I second this. I would also like a stable, stock, deodexed, rooted and busyboxed kitkat rom for my gsm gnexus with instructions on flashing and installing gapps. Any advice is much appreciated.

Hey ADDOriN, what's up?
First of all, I found the same problem as you... I spent some hours trying to understand the whole process and honestly didn't reach my goal... The tutorial pointed out by the friend t1.8matt is great and easy, but if you don't feel confartable yet, you can try to follow the steps on youtube video called "How To Root Android 4.3 On the galaxy nexus" made by Manley (sorry, but as a noob, I can't post the link)
Some considerations about:
- the tutorial uses CWM but depending on the version of 4.4, you should use TWRP... The process to apply the image file is the same, differing only in root step
- if your bootloader is locked, in the moment you unlock it, all your data will be erased, so a backup is highly recommended
The GNex Toolkit 11.1.0 quoted by the friend wysefreakz is easier than made everything by hand, but honestly, I didn't find an information if it is or isn't compatible with 4.3 version, so I chose to the "hand-made" method.
Just to say, I used custom firmwares on my old Defy and made the same for a Galaxy S, but I found some doubts to gnexus (even had converted it from yakjuvs to yakju in the past)
I hope I can help you

I would not use a toolkit, as pointed out by many experienced users, they can do more harm than good. Not always the case but it is possible. I you get the android SDK setup on your computer, its actually not hard using adb and fastboot once you learn the commands. There are plenty of tutorials out there to help you with getting it setup and learning about adb and fastboot.

@leocasarin, @t1.8matt, @wisefreakz Thank you guys!
Actually there is no problem for me is to follow slowly the tutorials here and there. I made this thread to ask if there is something i didnt found my rolling on the forums or the internet as general. @t1.8matt yes the tutorial you give me is maybe the one ill follow. @leocasarin i will follow the ideas you said to me and im really thankful.
NINJA EDIT: I just used the video tutorial posted from @leocasarin and i completed everything and i now have KitKat 4.4! KUDOS FOR YOU MATE <3

[HELP] Samsung Galaxy Pro SM-P900

Hey guys, I am a complete noob when it comes to this. Last time I installed any recovery or flashed a ROM was on my Nexus 4, years ago. I have found my Samsung Galaxy Pro (10.1") SM-P900 lying around and this thing is still on Android Version 5.0.2.
I'd like to install a recovery, root, and flash a ROM, or an upgraded software version. I'm sorry if that doesnt make sense but I just want this device to start running faster and I'd like to slowly get back to flashing ROMs on it depending on my liking.
Could you guys kindly link me to other threads that deal with my exact problem? Or please let me know here what I can or at least where I can start? Any thread I look for already has people on advanced steps or they're using a different device. ANY help is appreciated. Thank you so much.

Well, you should start here. Lots of reading though!
