Always remember to BACKUP your SYSTEMs NANDROID BACKUP with CWM. * I am really not responsible for any damage to your phone; it’s all upon your responsibility. *Let me know if any edit is recommended by you.

Full tutorial is also available on my blog : iamrainwalker

Ahh! I love my ICS rom and my symphony w25. I am a perfectionist, so I took my time to study and gone throw lots of trials and errors to finalize the ICS rom. Thanks to all those Brilliant senior developers from XDA for their numerous helps and tips. I will start by providing some screenshot of the ICS rom.

  1. Updating Baseband
  2. Flashing AP(Factory) ROM
  3. Flashing Finalized NANDROID ROM.

YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL STEPS ONE BY ONE, DO NOT DO ANYTHING YOU DON’T KNOW, IF YOU ARE A TOTAL NEWBIE, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU KIDDO. DON’T BLAIM ME FOR YOUR MISTAKES.

ICS_Stable_sw25_rom Featurs :

  • Fully Rooted
  • Updated SU and Busybox binaries
  • Init.d Support, busybox runpart
  • App2SD enabled
  • Super Fast :D
  • All Sensors working
  • Better Battery Life
  • Better Network Reception
  • ALL new Jelly Bean keyboard :D
  • Cracked PowerAmp Music Player :D
  • Added
  • And many other tweaks I can’t remember right now.

* Points to be noted

  1. You need to enable or disable Gsensor from Settings > Display by your self, Status ber shortcut don’t work.
  2. You need to set APN manually from Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Select Subscription > Manage Card
  3. System is already configured for Bangladeshi Users.

Updating Baseband :

This process is pretty nasty. I made a successful Update after trying a number of times and fails, after that I installed WINDOWS XP SP3 and successfully Updated Baseband. So I would recommend you guys to Start this Upgrading Process with a Freshly Installed Windows XP. I will try to give you as much as possible visual guide.

*It is not mandatory to install Android SDK and Java Runtime.

  • Install “jdk-7-windows-i586.exe”
  • Install “installer_r20.0.3-windows.exe” , make sure you have selected options red marked in this photo when Android SDK download files.
    asdk_install-1.png
  • After download complete, Go to “F:\sym_ics\SYMICS4\(AP+BP)_ICS_S01\(AP+BP)_ICS_S01\ICS_S01” This folder.
  • Extract “NPRG7627A.zip” by right clicking it 7-zip > Extract Here
  • Copy “NPRG7627A.hex” to “591357_8376_WCDMA_V0005” folder.
  • Switch off your phone, remove battery, SIM cards, SD card.
  • Place battery on your phone, Hold POWER BUTTON+VOLUME DOWN BUTTON together, you will see “QPST Entry Download”.
  • Now, Connect your phone to your pc.
  • You will see a popup like this, cancel it.
    untitled-5-1.png
  • Go to your device manager and follow the procedure below :

    untitled-13.png

  • In my case i got COM3, you may have diffrent port number. Now go to “F:\sym_ics\SYMICS4\S01_flash_tools\fast_boot” and Open “fastboot1.0.2.4.exe”. You will see something like this :
    untitled-19.png
  • Click on “BP Browse” select folder “F:\sym_ics\SYMICS4\(AP+BP)_ICS_S01\(AP+BP)_ICS_S01\ICS_S01\591357_8376_WCDMA_V0005″, Put the port number on “BP Port”, take a deep breath and press Download, download should start if everthing is allright, after download compleate “fastboot1.0.2.4.exe” will close by itself. and you need to pull your phone bettery to shut it down and disconnect the phone form your pc.
    untitled-20.png

AP Upload :

  • Place your phone battery on the phone, press POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP and wait untill you see a GREEN display on your phone.
  • Connect you phone and you will see a new Device is found named Android, now install the drivers by following procedure like prevoiusly shown and use the folder “F:\sym_ics\SYMICS4\S01_Drivers\drivers\Driver\adb_driver” for drivers.
  • After driver instlation compleate, go to “F:\sym_ics\SYMICS4\S01_flash_tools\EMMC_AP” and open “QUALFAST2.0.4(Factory).exe”
    untitled-15.png
  • Click on “SEL PATH” button and select “F:\sym_ics\SYMICS4\(AP+BP)_ICS_S01\(AP+BP)_ICS_S01\ICS_S01\TBW591357_9999_V0001_2″ folder click ok. you will see :
    untitled-17.png
  • Now press “OK” and wait for first “Waiting Decices…” to compleate and then disconnect the phone, pull your battery and start your phone. ICS should start with creepy forign language.

Flashing Finalized Stable NANDROID ROM :

Default firmware rom do not come with CWM installed as recovery, so we need to port it now. This is a pretty simple procedure.


Shutdown your phone, insert your sim and sd card. Press POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP button till the GREEN display appears.

  • Connect your phone with the pc.
  • Open Command prompt and type :cd F:\sym_ics\SYMICS4\CWM-English (press enter)Fastboot devices (press enter)

  • Wait sometime, CWM recovery should boot.
  • Now, from the menu, Select “wipe data/factory reset”
  • After finishing slect “wipe cache partition”
  • After that, go to “mount & Storage” > “Mount Usb Drive”
  • Now sd card will be mounted on your pc. Copy “F:\sym_ics\SYMICS4\clockworkmod_rainwalker\ clockworkmod” to your sd card.
  • Select “Unmount” from your phone. And Select “Go back”

Thx for your hardwork but plz remove power amp
Its a paid app and adding it into a rom is against forum rules.
You may banned for this if moderator would see.

which operating system do you use? did your BP download was successful? try rebooting your computer the get into fastboot mod on your phone, connect your phone to computer, if you don't see anything then go and see in device manager, if you see there are some yellow unrecognized devices then install them.

CWM is Clockworkmod Recovery, it's a recovery replacement of stock recovery. the procedure is told is how to install CWM by replacing Stock recovery, if you have successfully flashed "ICS_W25_Stable" you already should have CWM on your system. try by pressing VOL UP + Power and hold untill Red display showes up. I am sorry i can't help you with Language support. But if you don't install CWM on your system then you wont be able to update new roms.

I do all steps you said all goes ok! Only the step to make download in flash starts and then gives error, but after all steps ok! Bur the recovery stills the same the normal recovery with 5 option i said before!

The only way i put the "ICS_W25_Stable" it was from the rom manager i installed...

I dont understand what is happen...

hi,
i did everything like you posted.
using the rom since 3-4 days.
i have some issues.
1) internal memory is always low.i do not have anyrhing installed .(21 mb free)
2) when i try to download an app from play store,it says that sd cars apace running out and the download fails.
3) i have link2sd and 1gb ext2 partiotin in sd card. total sd size is 8 gb. 1.2 gb is empty at the moment.

pls give me a solution for this.

thanx

Reset To factory settings, then start using link2sd. internal memory shows low because of preinstalled apps. you can use my 3rd updated rom "OPSHORA". this one is best. i personally use this rom. but you need to follow all procedures step by step. but you don't need to update Baseband again. OPSHORA rom has some Blue screen issue sometime, but removeing your battery will fix it.

    Updating Baseband :

    This process is pretty nasty. I made a successful Update after trying a number of times and fails, after that I installed WINDOWS XP SP3 and successfully Updated Baseband. So I would recommend you guys to Start this Upgrading Process with a Freshly Installed Windows XP. I will try to give you as much as possible visual guide.

    *It is not mandatory to install Android SDK and Java Runtime.

    • Install “jdk-7-windows-i586.exe”
    • Install “installer_r20.0.3-windows.exe” , make sure you have selected options red marked in this photo when Android SDK download files.
      asdk_install-1.png
    • After download complete, Go to “F:\sym_ics\SYMICS4\(AP+BP)_ICS_S01\(AP+BP)_ICS_S01\ICS_S01” This folder.
    • Extract “NPRG7627A.zip” by right clicking it 7-zip > Extract Here
    • Copy “NPRG7627A.hex” to “591357_8376_WCDMA_V0005” folder.
    • Switch off your phone, remove battery, SIM cards, SD card.
    • Place battery on your phone, Hold POWER BUTTON+VOLUME DOWN BUTTON together, you will see “QPST Entry Download”.
    • Now, Connect your phone to your pc.
    • You will see a popup like this, cancel it.

    • Now press “OK” and wait for first “Waiting Decices…” to compleate and then disconnect the phone, pull your battery and start your phone. ICS should start with creepy forign language.

    Thx for your hardwork but plz remove power amp
    Its a paid app and adding it into a rom is against forum rules.
    You may banned for this if moderator would see.
