Ok thanks. Just wondering. I like the stock interface, but don't want to use the stock ROM until I know root wont get borked with a OTA update.
I have TWRP so I would think even if i did get an OTA update though I could just boot into TWRP and flash CM7 or something. Am I correct in thinking this? Or could an OTA update kill TWRP too?

Sorry for the noob question. I've flashed roms with clockworkmod hundreds of times, but can someone please give me a set of step by step instructions on how to install this properly? I'm not familiar with teamwinrecovery, but I do not see the kindle fire on the list of supported devices. thanks

Basically the same as clockworkmod. Backups/Nandroid is the same premise, wiping partitions prior to flashing works the same. A how-to definitely exists. A simple google search yielded this post which should answer any questions you have. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414626

Thanks, cant wait to flash

Just Flashed it, very cool ROM.

I don't understand why anyone would need to see pics of a rooted stock rom. It looks the same as a stock amazon kindle fire rom.
[Edit] I didnt see at first that it's got ADW built in... so I guess if you haven't seen ADW before then maybe pics are useful [/edit]

This is great Biff. Just what I was looking for. Thank you for this
---Jay---

I know this sounds dumb, but TWRP will NOT recognize this zip for some reason. I can see every other ROM in my root directory, but I just can't get it to show this ROM in the Install section. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm not new to this in the slightest but I'm stumped.
*edit* Nevermind. Renaming it fixed it.

Is this the Biff from the G1 days?
Just a side note. Not sure if you care but changing the wallpaper crashes the app trying to change it. I was able to change it using Themes for ADW Launcher but they reset back to the Amazon ones.

I wont be using this but always like to congratulate devs on there work! Good job! Keep up the good work!

with adw being on it can i switch back and forth between it and the stock look of the kindle fire?

Yes. You can set one for default if you like. If you set one and decide you want to change, just go to manage applications and clear the defaults for that launcher.

Just go download them from the T-Mobile ROM then. Put them on your sdcard. It's not terribly difficult.

Yeah its gone, But I think Its only cosmetic and never an actual bug. People have OS super high and get 4-6 hours of screen time. I dont think it has anything to do battery.
So does this mean an actual ota is in the near future? And if so can we update to it and get root back? Or am I getting ahead of myself? Lol

Yeah freaking right! I wish! I only get 2 hours screen on time at most. Even GB but I think it's because Sprint just sucks. I dunno but it's depressing. I know I got better battery life before but mo matter what I flash, full wipes and all I still get bad battery life lately.

That's because that's what most everybody gets, and that number is really pretty good. nobody will get 6 hours of screen on time with a stock battery...probably not even with an extended battery. I think the Android OS bug is real, at least I've noticed pretty big decrease since going to these ics alphas. Since I've tried the leaked official...battery has been tons better.

Don't ever use ROM MANAGER

I have used rom manager in the past just to boot into recovery... I don't know why but for what ever reason, today I decided I was going to update to the latest AOKP, I launched ROM MANAGER to check which version of clockwork I had installed, it said I had the latest so I chose the option to reboot into recovery, phone turned off I thought it was going to reboot into recovery but it never turned back on. I can't get my phone to power on, I also can't get it to go into download mode. No signs of life... Looks like phone shopping time. And I did do some research on this and seems I am not the only person this has ever happened to.
Yea I heard this a lot, sucks that it does it

Yea I honestly think developers of new roms should block access to Rom Manager it is obviously buggy and for what ever reason it CAN brick phones just by trying to reboot to recovery... who knows how that is even possible. A reboot should not brick a phone it doesn't make sense to me... so rom manager must be doing something crazy when trying to boot into recovery unless someone knows how I can get my phone to download mode it honestly seems bricked.
So you were on clockwork recovery?

Yes clockwork mod recovery was installed... I have used it numerous times with this phone to flash roms etc... the problem isn't with clockwork mod, but the app ROM MANAGER that you can use to flash clockwork mod recovery and also use to boot into clockwork mod recovery.

They should stop cwr then because if my phone would at gotten bricked i would at been going ham wordd specially if its a known issue
Maybe using adb you can delete everything and then Odin back. Just an idea. I've never truly bricked so no real experience except knowing that if you can connect through adb you may have a chance.
Excellent luck to you. This almost qualifies as a development article.
More like a :Notice: of some under development. Good for others to know.. I my self in the past have used the cwm.APK to reboot many of times so maybe its the ROM plus cwm combo that caused this problem. Again, just speculating.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I use ROM manager all the time. All I do on it is flash the latest official CWM though. I never download or.flash ROMs off of it. I think that this mishap was specific to your situation. Millions use ROM manager. If the issue was the app itself there would be an uprising at Koushs front door demanding blood lol.

Reinstall T989 drivers on your PC make sure you do that first then hold down volume up and down while plugging in USB to PC you should be good to Odin from there let me no and good luck!

Hopefully adb will work....I have used rom manager many times to download roms in the past but have never used rm to flash or reboot my device. Thanks for the heads up and good luck.
Why are you Using Rom Manager? Use the Classic Way bro.
I thought Rom mamager was built for the HD2, it still brings up all those old roms for it.

My PC doesn't recognize it at all nothing... are drivers needed in order to get to download mode? I just installed windows 8 via update and kept all my old settings, before this happened this morning I was able to access my phone and everything like normal in windows 8... just curious if you can get to download mode by hooking it up to a wall charger and the volume buttons... Just to see if the phone will even get to download mode. I have tried volume down, volume up and down, power volume up and down... nothing is working doesn't make any sense.

T989 comes up as an option to install clockwork mod recovery. Again I have used it for a long time but have never installed a rom through it... just used it to flash clockwork and have booted to recovery a few times. Usually I would boot to recovery the manual way but since I was already in Rom Manager to check clockwork mod version I just tried to reboot into clockwork from there since I was already there.

While you're going to get that Mod to move this, consider re-titling the thread to something a little less emotionally driven.
Bad things happen. Your experience is not sufficient cause to decree Rom Manager unusable.

Lock up and restart alot?

anyone else having this prob. sometimes i will use a app and the screen will go black and unresponsive i can still turn the screen on and off wit the power button but it eventually restarts however it does the startup animations but does not make the sounds. any fix?
some history:
tooks some time but decided to root, once rooted the factory os would not boot. so i did the restore to factory flash with counter reset uploaded by a fellow member of xda and then did the flash to root.
now i have this prob.
What Rom did you flash to? Stock or something else? Also, Root method? Odin CVM, Flash root zip? just trying to see if there's anything that sounds odd or off other then the issue you described. I rooted with CVM Flash (odin) and zip root method.. Flashed The People's rom, No resets here.

I have seen this a few times recently. I did not have that happen when I read on ICS. It only happened after I updated to lj7.
It is interesting to note that the phone appears to restart and recover but when I look at the uptime for android I see that it was not a full reboot.

I've been encountering this lately also. I thought maybe it was just my phone. My back button becomes unresponsive sometimes as well. Maybe I'll do a full wipe and reflash a rom.
maybe sumthin up with super user? i noticed that when i open up flip board it says shell granted super user a **** load of times and wont let me do anything in flipboard.

Cant believe i merged from SGS to SGS3 :D

okay guys. i hope there isnt a topic like this anywhere, yet ive searched for a similar topic before making this thread. So, anyway, today i JUST got my SGH-I747m (Canadian Bell) and i must say, its BRILLIANT! It is indeed a smart superphone that is good for lazy people .
OH NOTICE: Im not a noob... ive been with the SGS1 for couple months now and ive been flashing ROMs and kernels like crazy, gone into bootloops, gone into yellow triangles, gone into cpu OC/UV freezes, gone into an accidental sdcard formatting and other mishaps and stuuff. NOW im here in a completely new place seeing completely new people... I think TkGlitch moved to SGS3 but im not sure if he moved to the international version... anyway, the phone came with ICS preloaded and i had no problems with it at all. I was hyped to update it to jellybean which was a huge problem cause i have been setting up kies for a looooooooooooooooooong time now, such an unstable soft . I decided to do an OTA update and it went well. I reinstalled my apps and restored its data through titanuim backup and its all very good but one thing i have noticed is that jellybean is kind of slower but smoother than ICS. I notice fps drops when on xda, or facebook or sometimes browser.Its not that bad but its kind of disappointing... PLUS jellybean eats alot of RAM . I mean i usually had 900mb+ free but now i have like 300mb+ free... Another thing is TouchWiz. God im starting to miss Nexus like UI. I never liked the touchwiz OR the launcher! I am very used to Nexus like UI and Apex Launcher. ANYWAY! I rooted my phone with this thread i found outside of xda where all i needed is to flash cmw recovery and then flash SU and its done! I just froze SuperSU because its an annoying app and downloaded Superuser app and updated the binary. So now guys can you tell me if there is great kernels like Semaphore or Devil for SGS or GREAT roms like CM family or Hellybean or SlimICS or something with a nexus UI? I went to CM site and found a "stable" version of CM10 but im kind of scared of flashing it because recently i found out SGS3 has a flash counter and i dont wanna mess with that thing too much... EVERY OPINION IS A VALUABLE OPINION!

How safe is triangle away? If you do everything correctly, should everything be fine? Or is there still that chance of bricking? I have 1 flash counts :/ but was too scared to do anything about it.
You only need to reset the flash counter once. Once you have CWM or TWRP for flashing custom ROMs, they don't increase the flash counter at all.

Well you know Rom Manager instead of formatting dalvik cache, it formatted my system partition... so i kind of dont trust 3rd party flashing softwares lol but thanks for the heads up

i've used triangle away multiple times now. it works flawlessly and says to verify your flash count before using it. i've found that it has been correct and now just use it to keep my count at 0. there is nothing to be worried about if you read how to use it first. do not use Rom Manager.. not good for flashing roms. and yes.. it can mess up your device.

I have cwm 6.1.x and it does increase flash counter...

Once you're IN CWM and use it to do whatever (NANDroid backups, restores, wipes, flashing zips) it definitely does not increase your flash counter.
EDIT: Rooting the device and installing CWM does increase it, but using CWM does not. Hopefully that makes a bit more sense.

If you root using the no trip method then it never increases the flash counter. I've had mine for about 5 months and have never increased the flash counter.

No, CWM does not increase the flash counter. Installing CWM via Odin might increase it, but CWM does not. As I stated in the post above, mine still says zero and has never been reset.

Hey guys we all know the stock samsung Jellybean ROM came out awhile ago and i was wondering, do you guys prefer the AOSP version of jellybean or Stock Touchwiz version of jellybean? I tried flashing the Liquid ROM and it got boringgg and tiering. Sammys ROM got more funcionality and a gorgeous UI.
The official jb update supposedly has a new flash counter, somehow counting either booting into custom recovery or flashing in custom recovery.

[Q] rooted or not rooted?

Hey guys sorry for posting this thread. I've tried reading others about the same situation im going thru, but phones are different. So im rooted, I think I'am. I did the RWilco one click method for the sph-d710vmub. everything went great phone rebooted perfect turned on and I have the superuser app. Im running on android 4.0.4 Fl26 (stock). My recovery mode saids ACSRecovery5 v1.0.0.0 CWM5 based.
Now every time i try using a rooted access app. Dosnt let me at all not super user, barnacle, mobil odin, Titanium back up.
I tried flashing roms, saids installation aborted.
Can anyone tell me if im actually rooted or not?
And if so how can I get root permission so i can get these apps going, and I can flash my ass away.
Im really anxious to see my phone full potentials and Im really doing this to change my sg2 theme.
So thats my reason for root. Im a complete noob, but I got this far after almost bricking my phone/
I want my phone to look different from everybody else.
Thanks for your time please AID me.

You are not rooted if apps won't pull it. You don't need root to theme. There are plenty of launchers. Since you seem to have a CWM, you can flash a rooted ROM.
