[Q] Installing a new Version of my ROM (Starburst)

Hey guys,
im pretty new to custom ROMs and i cant ask this in the Starburst Thread because of the > 10 posts rule.
I currently have an older version of Starburst with Data2SD running perfectly on my Desire. Now theres a new version out and i want to update.
The things i would do now:
1. Nandroid backup everything of course.
2. Flash the new ROM
3. Immediately flash the Data2sd Reinstall zip
4. Profit ??
Will i keep all my apps and their settings with this method ?
Sorry for this low-level question but i couldnt find an answer anywhere to this.
Thank you.

That is correct!
Everything that you have asked is answered in the original post in the starburts thread

The 10 post rule ? Thats only for asking questions on a thread ?
It should not hamper your ability to read the thread ?
Its amazing what you can find out without asking questions ?

First of all thanks Raymond for your answer.
Thanks also to you mark for repeating what raymond said but instead with pointless flaming.
I hate people who cant read as much as the next guy but can you please show me where exactly in the Starburst OP the answer to my question is ? (I also read most of the thread, nothing there too.)
It seems like this knowledge is so basic that it doesnt get mentioned anywhere anymore.
Edit: Maybe I should have made my OP clearer: My only question was if i will keep all my apps and settings when flashing a new ROM version. Dunno why i repeated the installation steps, but my whole reason for this thread was to ask about the apps & settings, which doesnt get answered in the Starburst thread.

if you back up your stuff with something like mybackup you should be ok ? If you do a nand and the back up dont work you can alway use that ?
Best option to try if your feeling lucky is back up then nand then just flash over ? Worst that can happen is you need to restore the nand ?

Forgot Stock Which is My Stock Rom

Hi All,
I rooted my HTC ONE X and flashed a custom rom. But unfortunately i have forgotten what the original rom is.
As i purchased this from online store, i believe this was shipped from Asia, likely to be hongkong.
I could remember the language included in the stock rom is very limited, and it has English(Malaysia) as one of the option.
May i ask how I can find out which is the actual stock ROM that comes with the phone??
I read on the forum that due to S-off being not available, this phone will not work with stock rom in other region is that right?
Thanks in advance

HK is 708, Malaysia (and Singapore) is 709.
It can be worked out from your CID, but off the top of my head... I can't help further. I leave you in charge of search, and recommend you start with Malaysia.

What about elimination method?
Thanks for the advice. I will Cary on searching. The other thing on my mind is if I am not able to narrow down to one, can I just try a few and eliminate as I go?
I notice in other thread there has been a discussion saying that due to the s-off status, it will not allow us to flash stock rom from different region, but will it show up an error if I have flash the wrong stock rom? Just want to make sure I am not putting too much risk of bricking my phone when trying different stock rom.
Thanks again.

Yeah, that'll be fine, the wrong one will refuse to flash.
Don't forget to lock the phone and restore default recovery (I think) otherwise outright be trying all of them!

Thanks Ben

Anyways thanks for your help! great to have ppl like you in the forum!

[Q] Another One X Brick

I'm sorry to bother you guys with another brick..
I wanted to go back to stock one x, so I used CWM to restore the stock backup I made
right after unlocking my phone a couple of weeks ago. Then I relocked my phone, which I
think I shouldn't have done yet, because now I can't flash the stock kernel anymore, nor can
I re-unlock my phone, cause in fastboot I cant see the phone anymore.
I've read through the distaster recovery thread, but can't seem to find the solution. Can anyone
please help me!?!
Thanks in advance!

Thread can be deleted..
I was able to manually re-unlock my device.
Didnt work with the OneXOneClick tool..
Sorry for posting first, trying later..

Always use the stock kernel!

And always do everything manually - one click methods are rubbish

[Q] UN-Root M8

Hi, First off I am a complete noob to this and probably should of read which apps wouldn't work before I did this. Also i apologise if this has been posted elsewhere.
Basically I have unlocked my bootloader, then flashed TWRP and then flashed the Android Revolution Rom. I have then gone to install the barclays banking app (Im on o2 in the UK btw) and it says it cannot be used with a rooted device. This app is a lifesaver for me with the amount of money going out so i can keep an eye on it.
I have read into the RUU applications to be used after locking the bootloader but as far as i am aware they are not available yet. So basically my question is is there a way to go to 100% complete stock? so i can use the app.
Thanks in advance. Please remember i am a noob so please be clear if its technical haha :fingers-crossed:

Check my thread in my signature, check also post #2 it has a flashable zip to unroot the device !

Thanks for your quick reply, I have checked my software number and it is 1.54.401.5, so seeing that someone has put in a flashable zip on their post after yours does that mean i can use that? also im on o2 in the uk does this affect it? and when i run the zip in twrp does that unroot my phone?
Sorry for being so useless in this haha
EDIT: All done now flashed one of the recoveries that you have in your thread and worked a treat cheers.

Hello Mr Hoffs, I have seen your stock rom recovery page, plenty there, unfortunately none for mine.
I was wondering if you had any idea where I could get hold of cid 2___001 and a version main of 1.54.206.10 for my o2 HTC M8 please?
I have an unrooted phone with a constant nag about an OTA security update which I can't apply, this is very frustrating and much more awkward than rooting my S3 or N5 ever was.
Thanks in advance!

wifi broken, help please!

Silly prob, just developed from nowhere. If my wifi is either switched off manually or by itself it cannot be switch on again. Found a painful way around it and that is to reboot into recovery, delete dalvik cache and cache, reboot again and its there. Obviously this is annoying process so am hoping some one has experienced this same issue an found a fix. Or someone knows whats happening.. thx:good:

Can you post the output of fastboot getvar all (removing the IMEI and serial number) and also which ROM you're using?

Because Lollipop requires the new firmware so if you're now using a Lollipop ROM it's more than likely your issue (you've not mentioned either so I'm making assumptions but because of how rude you have been I don't really care). Next time I won't bother but trust me, I wouldn't have if I didn't know what I was on about. Have fun fixing it yourself

Exactly what eddy says. You came here for help.....we didnt ask you to come here.
And you seem to know which advice will be given, if you are that good why don't you write in the OP what you already know about the issue and provide logcats so we can dig through them to spot some error maybe. Ever thought about that ?
If i were you i would say : thanks for the reply eddy but ...... etc etc. This kind of "a developer is qualified to help" attitude won't get you far here. At the end of the day it's not our device that needs a fix.
Happy fixing

Moderator Information,
Thread has been cleaned. For info the older firmware does not work with the newest versions of Android. This is because the wifi drivers were changed in the newer version. The only fix is to update the firmware, this can be done via s-off methods or going back to stock and flashing the latest OTA.
Here is a good link for updating the firmware:
[2015.02.08][GUIDE] FUU and Firmware flashing

Im still abit new to XDA so forgive me for any rookie errors. Just like Veroby, I am also having wifi issues, I am aware that you need to upgrade firmware to upgrade to Lollipop but since I'm S-On only option for me is to revert to stock using a Stock Nandroid Back up of my cid (OPTUS001) from Mr Hofs thread, to go back to stock, which worked fine, but after doing 1 OTA update, my wifi will stop working! Same as what veroby describes. Help us out guys! Will provide information if required.

Open your own thread. Your case is about restoring a backup on wrong hboot.
Not going to respond further here.
