What firmware are you guys running? I'm still on KG2 2.3.3 Ive read KG2 2.3.4 was pretty stable? Also do I lose my root when I flash? |
Custom ROM's are pre-rooted already. This is what I'm running: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8070499/20111019122035.jpeg |
Are there any other roms that dont require a full wipe? Thats really a huge PITA |
As mentioned.. LOL. Going to other ROMs it's recommended to wipe. But there are possible ways around not losing your stuff: 1) Titanium Backup to backup and restore all your apps and app data or 2) After installing your ROM do an advanced restore of JUST the data from CWM. I tried both options in the past and they seemed to work fine. |
If I were to use the advanced restore, would I restore BEFORE I reboot for the first time? Or would I flash the rom, boot up, then go into CWM and restore from there? I dont wanna be hooped and be stuck in a continuous boot or something lol |
Hmm I can't remember what the order was. I think I restored the data immediately after flashing. Doesn't matter too much if it bootloops. Just do a full restore. lol. |

Argh, how long does a boot take after installing villain rom? |
anyone know a cheap place where i can but it locally unlocked? i cant order online atm : ( |

After the first boot it's like 5-10 seconds. |
Ok, mine was stuck in bootloop then cause it sat there for about 10 mins on the villainrom boot image. Tried to reflash and same thing, so I restored :okay: Can someone tell me where I went wrong? This was my procedure: 1. Do full nandroid backup 2. Install zip file onto root of internal SD 3. reboot into CWM 4. Do full wipe + clear cache with CWM 5. install zip from SD 6. advanced restore data 7. Reboot 8. Bootloop on villainrom image |

I've had instances where "wipe data/factory reset" would cause a boot loop but formatting the system, data and cache under "mounts and storage" and then performing the "wipe data/factory reset" worked. |

I've only flashed ROMs manually (reboot into recovery) so I'm not too familiar with the CWM app. |
It's most likely the advanced restore that didn't work. My only other recommendation if you don't want to lose everything is use Titanium Backup to backup all your apps+appdata. After wiping the phone and getting it to boot with Villainrom 3.0 then restore the apps+appdata with Titanium Backup. |

After installing the zip onto the internal sd, I turned the phone off, then booted up into CWM recovery mode and did my wipe + cache + flash from there. Once the flash was complete, while still in CWM recovery mode, I attempted to do an advanced restore of JUST the data, and I believe it said the restore was complete, so I then rebooted, but got stuck at the villainrom splash screen |

I downloaded titanium but it looks confusing as :fuuuuu: |

If not, your file may be corrupted. Have you tried re-downloading it? |
Yeah try wiping everything including system. Posted via RS Mobile |
I apologize if this has been answered already. Do you guys know when Rogers is launch the S2? I debating whether to get the S2 with Rogers with warranty, or get the iPhone 4s and scalp it. Then get the S2 off someone on Craigslist or Ebay |
