9 steps to upgrading.
1) You need to read the posts in this forum about upgrading.
2) You also need to know what kind of wizard you have (G3 or G4).
3) You need to read some more
4) You need to choose a ROM
5) You need to read some more
6) When you’re done reading, read some more.
7) Read more.
8) Read more.

ROFLMFAO!!! Too funny...
but...
Sage advice!!!
XDA can help if you too are willing to work, and there are sooooo many tutorials here, that reading really IS the best way to begin.

I recently responded to another similar thread from someone new to this...read it, it pretty much says how to upgrade... etc, and read everything else you can get your hands on...

Sometimes us new jacks need a hand to guide us through. Everyone was new at one time or another. Thanks akashatrega, I have read the other thread and I will try to flash my rom again.

Hope it helps...not to be rude, I just didn't feel like typing it twice, so I hope you were able to find the answer in the other thread I mentioned helpful.
In all seriousness, I remember when I was new and begged for guidance, everyone kept telling me to read...and I was like wtf...f*ck you very much but I need help, not a lecture to read...I later discovered after much reading, that xda gets MANY similar questions, and has answers for them all...but one must read to find them. It was a hard pill to swallow when I wanted a straight answer right then, but in reading the threads, I learned so much more than I would have, had someone just answered me. Not to say (for all the "old tymers") that it is OK to just say Read the threads, we should all help...but sometimes reading the threads really IS the best way to learn about the device. I still read the threads in hopes that one day I can attain the geek-god status of many here.

Too true but sometimes if just pointed to the right thread (like you did) I can read it and figure it out. I read through "The Guide" and "How to flash a ROM" and thought I had it figured out until I "flashed" and I still had my original ROM on it instead of BlackDiamond. Once I read the other thread you posted to I realized I hadn't unlocked like I thought I did. I am now flashing BlackDiamond as I type this and will see if I got it right.

Flash worked great!

Now I have root

Hi every1,
I've just rooted my phone t-mobile(rc7) tested by turning on my phone typing enter reboot then enter which worked, now i have root is there anything i need to do before i put a rom on?

What is the problem, this so called community I've heard about is not much of a community is it.
There's no need for it at all.
Can someone please offer some real advice.

Ok, here is a real advice:
Please read the tutorials.

I have, but the one I am reading shows an old JF1.41 rom, when I looked at the other roms it says things like only for 36b phones ect..... It's confused me a little because tho I am amature techy I am also extra cautious and dont want to brick my phone.
Would I be ok using CyanogenMod [v3.9.7] && Palm Pre theme [1.8] ported for instance

I think the reason people are being a bit hostile is because you posted a question in the development section. That may seem OTT but there are some days when the whole first page of the development section is filled up with questions.
Before you flash a cupcake ROM (cyanogen, JF) you will need the new radio. I'm not entirely sure if you can flash that radio on RC7 or whether you will need to install a custom ROM first (like JF's RC9) so if someone could clear that up that would be useful. It can be found here. Copy that to your SD, name it update.zip and flash. Then you can flash a Cyanogen or any other cupcake ROM. That particular ROM you were talking about sounds like it was ported to the HTC Magic/Sapphire. Only flash ROMs from the dream section.

Hi mate, I wouldnt flash 3.9.7 if you only just rooted your phone, go with the stable v3.6.8.1 first, then use Nandroid recovery to create a backup. Then worse case scenario you can always restore that image if needed.
There's a good reason 3.9.7 is marked as experimental, and there is alot to learn before attempting any Hero roms etc.
If you get stuck with anything feel free to shoot me a PM Im always around and happy to help.
Long time lurker first time poster btw

Thanks guys, I will not post in this section again and sorry to those I have upset, would hve been nice to have been simply told.
Thanks for the help.

Wow that was by far the hardest groaned I have ever seen in my few months on xda!

People are just tired of everybody posting in devolpment when there is a q and a section, and when there are 20 to 30 new threads that have already been discussed, the devolpers get annoyed. Go with the stable version of cyanogen's rom, flash the new radio image and get yourself the hard spl, not the special, if you see warnings, run very far away. Install the s a lifesaver

ahem...
I wasn't hostile before, attempting to be civil now.
You posted two questions in the development forum. The first was regarding root. There are numerous tutorials available on this forum and even more via a simple google search. I know this because I read them, learned the process inside and out and successfully rooted my phone within the first hour of owning it. So yeah, I made a joke about a hard working mod having to move your thread... no personal attack so whatever.
Your second question was an open ended request for what are basically opinions. There are a number of great custom roms being developed here on XDA and all of them are unique in their own way. Roms like HERO and Cyan's experimental rom are definitely not for newcomers and the threads posted by their developers clearly state the risks involved in attempting to run them. 15 minutes in the dev forum and you could have made an educated decision on your own. One post in Q&A and you would have gotten much friendlier responses but in the end, you'd still have to choose your own adventure.
Let me make one thing clear...
I'm not a dev. I'm an end user who tries to contribute something useful to this forum and learns a whole bunch in the process. I've offered help to many people via PM and replies in threads (as long as the discussion is on-topic) but over time I've come to the realization that simply handing out information instead of forcing you to find it on your own actually does a disservice to not only the forum, but YOU as a user. So hate on us all you want. I think you'll find that following forum rules in the future will make your experience here a happier one, and snarky comments like yours are better left un-submitted.
To answer your question: I started with JF's 1.5 rom and think it was a great way to gain exposure to the world of custom roms and root. A lot has changed since then and things have actually become a lot easier since cyanogen released his recovery image w/ nandroid and tools like switchrom came out. Its now very easy to hop between roms and there are fewer chances you'll screw something up in the process. Personally, I've been sticking with Cyanogen's roms since 3.4.6, and though there have been some bumps in the road I've had very few issues and am currently working with his 3.9 experimental builds.
Hope you get where I'm coming from, good luck to you in the future.

Questions about flashing ROMS

If I Wipe before flashing a new ROM, will this erase my user data like phone nums and programs settings??
Why does everything keep looking the same after I flashed TTG 1.6 with out wiping original?
Will flashing again after wiping make it bring up the themes by default??
Will the new Kernel enable BT and Camera on the ROMs that currently these do not work on once we flash over??
Thanks for the help

Wow.
Search engine?

Seriously Search and read that is how you learn. Are you that lazy
1. Yes
2. TTG 1.6 is not a 1.6 rom it is still a 1.5 rom so it will not look diff
3. NO and i am a little confused at to what you mean
4. NO

Dude, I spent 5 hours of my life(and will spend most of the next 2 weeks) reading the guides and the threads. 50+ pages threads to finely feel conftable on flashing my hero. U have to agree search is mediocre at best. Search for "nba" or "league pass" and u will get 0 results. Accidentally searching for something else I found 2 threads talking about nba league pass but the search still returned 0 results on nba or league pass. Now back to the subject:
Now that I have succesfully rooted my hero and installed custom rom, can u guys leed on what should I be searching for on the forum to enjoy to fullest the awesomeness of rooting?
ps. I love this forum and want to support it. After I'm done with my adventure I will create a thread with a "rooting for dummies" kinda thing to make life easier for new comers. Will include term definitions, links to guides and threads with customizations and links to donate to the devs.

I wasn't going to say anything about searching...but he does bring up a point. I spend far more time than I should have in searching how to compile Compcache with the CDMA Hero kernel source.
For you guys who are new to the ROM scene, Compcache is a kernel module that will take a portion of your main memory and use it as a compressed swap space, thus allowing you to run more programs at the cost of reduced main memory. It's perfect for people who don't run a swap partition on their SD card (which I do).
Now, I did what everyone on these forums complain about when someone who is new to the scene asks one of those questions that have been asked a few times...I searched these forums. My result: I found several posts on what Compcache is, a few on the internal mechanisms on how it works, and one posts that was related to GSM that was difficult to follow.
Searching more through Google, I found even more posts about what Compcache is and how to set it up (if you are using 2.6.29 kernel), but nothing about anyone compiling this.
Now, I know someone compiled it (it's in the Modaco kernel and the Gumbo kernel), but nobody's sharing information.
So, before we all go bounce on a new forum user like a cheetah on a three-legged antelope, perhaps you guys should search the forums for the answers and see how some of these questions the new forum users are asking are, in reality, not easy to find.
And for the new people out there...on page 1 of the this sub-forum, on the first and second entries, you will find a page pointing to a wiki entry (one each) that will tell you the available ROMs out there (and how to download them) and how to root your phone. So, before asking about how to root the phone or where can you get a ROM, check there. Or click on "The Darktremor" in my signature line. I have guides that will do the same thing (except rooting...I actually point back here for that since I actually thought the root guides were better than what I could write). However, if anyone wants me to build a rooting document (complete with pictures), let me know.
So, there's my opinion about it. I'm not going to say anymore on the topic.

I woke up one day and decided to root my G1. Did all of like an hour maybe 2 reading how to. Everthing after that is self explanatory imo.
With that said, its like 10 times simpler with the Hero. You can even use flipz auto root which requires virtually no effort. For those wanting to learn to root themselves, I pretty much wrote the "rooting for dummies" guide which is easily found via sticky wicki.
For all other inquiries, I have started a General/Hero Q&A thread. As a new comer, additions to this thread are highly valuable.

I have to say that Theresthatguy's thread on rooting is by far the best explanation of how to gain root without using the Pre-Kitchen (that is THE simplest way) and it helps you get familiar with using ADB and command line

That may have been the guide I used. Took me less than 10 minutes just by following it. I'll have to check, but I may have linked to that one at my site.

i think he intended to direct you to the second post in that thread (which must have fell under the 10% of that thread that you didn't read..sorry couldn't resist a friendly flame) as you are posting your question in the wrong part of the forum.
Rules for posting in Android Development
* If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
* It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
* Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
* If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
* Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
* If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
* Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
* If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
* So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

You should probably familiarize yourself with this as well or your setting yourself up for endless flaming and frustration:
REF] New to XDA? Questions about flashing ROMs? Please read this before posting!
Lately I have seen so many "what rom is best for my first flash" or "Help me decide what rom is best for me" threads and they are POINTLESS! Granted there are an abundance of new and old custom roms, everyone has different experiences and opinions on what rom is best.
So... NOOBS:
If you want to know what rom is best for YOU do the following:
- Go to the Android Development Section and read through different [ROM] threads to see what features will work best for you. I have also found it useful to read through the last couple of pages to see what other users think about the current version of the rom.
- If you don't know what certain terms in the rom thread mean or affect (ie. kernel, modem, OC/UV, Gps tweaks) locate the search bar in the top right corner of the page or browse through this page
- Once you have decided what rom you want to try out, you need to learn how to flash the rom. Most of the Developers post instructions but they can be confusing to some of the less experienced flashers. nbs11 has posted a thread about how to do this here and Connexion2005 was nice enough to make videos of the general steps: Flashing back to stock using odin3 , 3 Part video series for flashing roms: video 1 , video 2 , video 3
- Now that you know how to choose and flash a rom just try out different roms until you find one that you like and gives you all the features you are looking for.
- If you find the theme of a certain rom ugly or obnoxious, head over to the Captivate themes and apps section and look through different [THEME] threads until you find one that you like. Make sure the theme is compatible with the rom you have just flashed or are planning to flash.
- If you accidentally brick your phone, read How to unbrick the captivate or if that doesn't work, Unbrick the captivate for only $0.99
-Some useful links other members have posted:
One-Click Root - root your captivate in one click!
Build #1010 or above flash back to stock
My hopes of this thread are to save the Captivate general section from becoming a section full of useless threads. So if you are new, please use these steps and do the research to find a Rom that is right for YOU!
Cheers,
Alex
*EDIT* As it seems swedishcancerboi is having a hard time using the search function, here are some simple tips to make your searching easier. If you think there is already a thread that has been created containing the information you desire, under "Search by keyword", try changing the drop down box to "Search titles only". Also, try changing the "sort results by" drop down box to "Relevancy". If that still doesn't work do a google search of "xda (whatever you are looking for)" without the quotes.

Nike... Just do it...
Battery life?
Paragon for me on my particular phone
Graphics/animations? Dunno, not into too much eye candy, but there are themes galore available
I always ODIN to stock before I flash a ROM (Haven't tried the AIO yet, but looks interesting)
As for the Darky issue. Flash back to stock and start over.

Thank you Capitan Obvious.

I recommend Serendipidity with the Suckerpunch kernal. I've gotten great battery life with that combo also you can some cool animations to add to Serendipidity from the Serendipidity website. And when changing between completely different roms I usaully flash back to stock and do a master reset with odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

i recommend you build a jig or buy one online just in case, since you want to use custom rom.

Duck and grind HighSun, duck and grind.
If you're still in the look-see stage as far as ROMs, there are a few that are well worth trying.
Paragon (my fav)
Serendipity
di11i's
Firebird (under new management so to speak)
That's my order of excellence but don't take my word for it. Flash what you like from reading whats offered and have fun. Follow the steps listed in each and you shouldn't have any issues. While not necessary to ODIN to stock, it's a good idea to get used to it in case you bork your phone and need to exchange it.

The best battery life i have gotten is with darky's 9.2 rom.

I guess that you need to learn to read then? I know the search engine is down at the moment, but that shouldn't stop you finding the Index and reading some of the highlighted threads listed in there.

Ok here goes:
Use the toolbox.
Follow the instructions to the damn letter, nobody but you is responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Unlock your bootloader, get CWM or TWRP recovery on it ( I prefer CWM but it's pretty much personal preference. )
After you complete these 2 steps, flashing new ROMs and kernels becomes a trivial process.
Once you get that done, copy the latest Vanir build (and optionally; GAPPS package) to your internal or external card, boot into recovery by holding volume down and power button until the LG logo comes up, then let go.
First, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache.
Choose install zip from SD card, then choose sd card or external sd card depending on where you put it, navigate to the folder and select it, flash it.
Follow the same procedure for the GAPPS package.
Press back until you hit the main menu, and select reboot system.
It will take longer to boot for the first time, it speeds up after that.
Congratulations, you should now be running Vanir.

The OP has been a member for almost as long as you have. I treated him with courtesy and was polite. The best thing we can do with new members is make them search and read so that they understand what they need to do and why.
When I joined I didn't ask stupid questions - I searched, read and learnt because with my HTC DS if I got it wrong I would have hard-bricked the phone and not been able to fix it.
XDA is not a helpdesk for noobs, that needs to be remembered in the middle of all the social correctness that is now going on. If people are too lazy to try and help themselves they deserve nothing, just as in real life.

He coughs, while still failing to provide aforementioned guidance
Ok here goes:
Use the toolbox.
Follow the instructions to the damn letter, nobody but you is responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Unlock your bootloader, get CWM or TWRP recovery on it ( I prefer CWM but it's pretty much personal preference. )
After you complete these 2 steps, flashing new ROMs and kernels becomes a trivial process.
Once you get that done, copy the latest Vanir build (and optionally; GAPPS package) to your internal or external card, boot into recovery by holding volume down and power button until the LG logo comes up, then let go.
First, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache.
Choose install zip from SD card, then choose sd card or external sd card depending on where you put it, navigate to the folder and select it, flash it.
Follow the same procedure for the GAPPS package.
Press back until you hit the main menu, and select reboot system.
It will take longer to boot for the first time, it speeds up after that.
Congratulations, you should now be running Vanir.

OK You don't know even i searched or not !!!! i already googled it, also here and didn't know how to start. I don't to try cause i am an accountant and i need my phone everyday so i can't try every method and my phone gonna brick !!!!
Actually Q & A forums works as helpdesk for members, it allows members to help each other.
My advice to u is to learn how to respect people, specially if they are different from u.
Never take to me in this way again !!!!! just simply don't answer my questions

Hit the 'Thanks button' For every person who helped you out here.. It's the way we say thanks instead of posting it, and you are right Q&A should be seen as a 'helpdesk' in xda, and some users feel the need to post anyway..
If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all
I'm glad you sorted your phone
Will request for the thread to be closed as issue is solved and the tutorial is clear for other members to use when they search!

Before you try to get this thread closed I feel the need to reply to the arrogant tossers who feel they have a right to ignore the rules. By my reckoning Rule # 1 of the XDA Forum Rules beats #2.5
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

This place is becoming full of people who claim to have searched - when they simply have NOT. If they can't afford to risk their phone because they need it every day then they should either be certain what they need to do - through searching, reading and learning - or they should not risk their phone.
I repeat "XDA is NOT a helpdesk for noobs". For the OP to tell me to "learn how to respect people" - what does he think I have done over the last couple of years? The answer to his question was out there simple to find if the OP wasn't so lazy. If he doesn't have time to search and read then the same basic rule applies - he doesn't have the time to risk damaging his phone.
FFS people - it's not rocket science and it's not difficult. We don't need yet another tutorial for people to read - because they will continue to be lazy and refuse to search and read. In 6 months time you will still be replying to the same basic questions just because human nature dictates that 90% of the members who sign up here expect to be given the answers without having to do any work themselves.

1) Reported for WHAT exactly?
2) I'm 2.5 times your age - so you might wish to reconsider and redefine some of your terms of reference.
3) Using big red letters doesn't make you look any more impressive.
4) FWIW I don't actually have a problem with you - other than the fact that you seem to be determined to assist in this stupid belief that anybody should simply be able to sign up to this site, ask stupid questions without bothering to help themselves, and not contribute anything at all. You seem to be intelligent, switched-on and a lot better at developing than I have ever been.

Since the OP's question has been answered....
