Guest C3C0 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Maybe it would be fine to put this important information somewhere on visible place: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO ROOT THE PHONE PRIOR TO FLASHING ANY CUSTOM ROM. THE ONE AND ONLY REQUIREMENT FOR INSTALLING CUSTOM ROMS IS TO HAVE CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY FLASHED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mrrog Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Maybe it would be fine to put this important information somewhere on visible place: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO ROOT THE PHONE PRIOR TO FLASHING ANY CUSTOM ROM. THE ONE AND ONLY REQUIREMENT FOR INSTALLING CUSTOM ROMS IS TO HAVE CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY FLASHED! have preferred to get to grips with my phone in a step by step exercise, thinking:- unlocking = level 1 rooting = level 2, and custom ROMing = level 3 I guess this just reflects my cautious nature and a desire to learn at the same time, and I suspect this is now why I wish to see some sort of ROM comparison before going to level 3. Not sure if modders would agree with this simple hierarchy, but I wonder if there are levels of understanding beyond this which can be understood in their own right, for instance the discussion over unlocking left me bemused, if such levels of knowledge could be modelled in a systematic and accessible way I for one would like to get there.

Guest Wacky.ddw Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Updated the tutorial! Updated clockworkmod with v5 (thanks to tilal). Added the download links separately. Ive added info on how to install drivers on xp and windows 7 separately. Ive re-writen some parts to make it easier to understand. Updated the divers package with a better one. (+ the download link was down since megaupload is no more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Amphoras Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Most of the stuff about TPT Helper is correct. The all in one option lets you choose which TPT to use and then checks and unzips it once it has downloaded so you don't have to do each step separately. Your description of the create your own TPT option is not quite correct. It does let you pick which version of clockwork and partition sizes to use, but it doesn't keep your current rom or data. These will be wiped like with the other TPTs. If you made a backup first with clockwork, you can restore it as long as all the new partitions are big enough for the backup to fit.
