[Q] flash guide? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
im new to android ..
i own a ideos u8150.........and i have rooted it with z4 root
I also have managed to install clock world mod 3.0.2.4 i flashed it through pc (works perfectly)
now i want to change my stock rom ..i' heard ideos HD and droniX are good roms
i'd like to install droniX 0.6 raw ginger ..
but can anyone help me in flashing the rom i need a guide..
also how can i make full backups so i can revert to my stock rom anytime i want..
Does switching to custom roms affect baseband of my mobile ..
because of a picture i saw in a blog that says "baseband version :unknown" in mobile settings .
i have been a apple user and to jailbreak you need to preserve your basebands so is there anything like that in android
i have also read that after flashing dorinX .6 many see a black screen ..how can i prevent that..
i've also installed rom mangaer free version from market but its useless because everytime press any option it tells me to install colckworld mod and when i press install a list of phones comes up but u8150 is not in the list only 7 options.......
Thankyou

Any one......

comon cant any one help me out............................

How u install a new rom, there are many Threads in the forum ...
For a Backup with CWM.
You can make a full backup with CWM.
Boot into CWM Recoverry an make Nandroid backup.
Or install RomManager from the Market, start it and search the option to make a backup.

This is the answer to all your problems
This is a Kenyan blog with information on how to flash any version of Dronix. The process is the same. I use Dronix 0.6.
Google 'Alex the African How to ROM Dronix onto Huawei Ideos U8150'
You'll be good.

Building Upgrade 2.3.7/3.0 ROM from ClockworkMod Recovery Android 2.3.3 Backup

Hi! I have an Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread HCL ME X1 Tablet. I successfully rooted it all manually by using ADB and installed "su" and superuser tools. I manually installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 5 by using Terminal. Then I created ClockWorkMod Recovery 5 full backups. I have the factory reset ClockWorkMod Recovery backup of a fresh Stock which came from Carrier. Doesn't contains any defect. The Carrier/Company won't release any further upgrades, and is not giving any original stock ROM.
All I ask with due patience and respect, to guide me to manually build an Upgrade ROM from 2.3.3 to 2.3.7 or from 2.3.3 to 3.0 Honeycomb. I would certainly require original company device drivers and factory files from the the backup. I won't mind any type of comment. Can this new 2.3.7/3.0 upgrade ROM be built from the older 2.3.3 ROM, manually? Please guide me step by step. Tell me the tools, configuration, drivers, kernel, etc. If you need any other information, please ask and I will inform I won't use update.zip flashing, instead I would manually flash/copy the images via ClockWorkMod Recovery/ADB console. Hope my friends guide me.

2.3.3 to has barely any changes. And 3.0 was not open sourced until recently, it will be very hard to make your own ROM from this

It will be my first ever try, if 2.3.7 is easier to build as an upgrade to my 2.3.3 android, please let me learn the steps and knowledge to do it. Currently, I haven't found any information regarding how to manually build an upgrade from an older version Backup image files, to a brand new version. I could at least try with your guidance and then learn the things which will come handy in building 3.0 and 4.0 Android + ROMs.

[Q] Query on ROMS for P500 (to flash or not?)

Hey guys
I have a query from a friend who is in India (so indian ROM). Now he has a P500 with 2.2.1 android on it. He is visiting and asked me to upgrade the phone software after a year of usage. I feel the phone to be but sluggish. On connecting the official software upgrade it says V20 available or something like that BUT will wipe all data to do so. My friend is a noob and does not know much. He is pretty much set and forget. We were also looking at customs ROMS here. Now our questions are
1. Should I just upgrade via the LG software available?
2. How to backup and restore device after upgrade for this non rooted phone?
3. What is the latest android version provided by the update?
4. Should we go for stock / custom ROMS available here?
5. Which on is most stable with features?? He is pretty much set and forget.. Won't be able to troubleshoot and will possibly want all basic phone features working without (much) bugs.
More questions will trickle upon the answer of above queries
Ta
1. Not recommended
2. You'll have to root first, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
3. 2.3.3
4. You should go for the custom roms
5. Many available here on XDA
You should visit this thread by Bytecode which is answer to most of your queries:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
And one tip! keep on reading again and again if you don't understand anything. Some things might not be so simple for you in first go.
Thanks
I have rooted the phone via Gingerbreak and installed RA recovery 1.2
now
1) Which ROM is most stable out which I can install and forget.. I m currently thinking between 2.3.7 Oxygen and Cyanogenmod port?? any thoughts
2) How to backup the current apps / data and then restore on the new custom ROM?? Is it recommended??
Ta
Ra recoverry is outdated... I recommend that you instal rom manager and get CWM Recoverry.
About which rom you should flash....I highly suggest that you wait for andy's phoenix rom next release... it should come out soon

Is it coming out within 6 days?? My friend will not be with me after that.. what thread is it??
Any alternates can be suggested which is fast and stable with all basic features working..

cosmicxperia is a good choice
stable and good rom is miks cm7 no doubt, other roms are still in repair mode
I suggest you flash CM 6.5.8 (mik_os) first.
after 3 months, you will be sick and tired of it. So then you should flash Oxygen.
I hate CM
For apps you can use Titanium backup or just copy APK files from data/apps to SD.
For SMS and call logs there are software available in market.

[Q] Custom ROM for MyPhone?

Hello.. Just wanna ask..
As the title says. just wanna know if there's a custom ROM that i can flash on this phone.. like a 2.3.7 custom ROM etc.. or is it impossible?
co'z i can only see popular brands of phone in this forum.
look at the attached picture.
It's a phone made in the Philippines
Thanks..
If haven't already try doing a Google search for your device by it's manufacturer, phone name and model number then search for Clockworkmod Recovery (Needed to install ROMs) and Cyanogenmod (Custom ROM) but you may just be stuck with the Stock ROM so just consider Rooting it (Making your self Administrator on your phone) and searching for useful Root Apps that you would like to use.

Start with a ROM of your choice, just pick one you'd like to try and test it out. If you don't like it try another one out.
*Repeat untill your phone dies

Hi Vinay, Post ur questions in Q & A forum. Ok the difference between custom and official ROM is u ll get ROOT access, many mod from official. Moreover check the caution lines before flashing any ROM.. Watch some videos on flashing ROMs. Also always a copy of main original official ROM..
and a nandroid backup would be also useful just in case something goes wrong
Hi!
Custom rom made by developers that can be from stock (samsung) basis or aosp/aokp (google) basis according to what the devs wants and need, so you need to know about what features and themes are included in the rom so that it would match your preferences. There's sure are a lotta rom out there to try. Be sure to flash only rom that made for your phone and made a backup just in case..
Happy flashing!

Hi to all and thank you for helping me.
The big trouble is that i led my phone in to strange state where only triangle appears and logo of samgung and gets stuck in that state ;after downloading some wrong ROM, my mobile got to this state , now i want to get back in order to wakeup my mobile and brings it too original state as pervious , also to inform you that the mobile was locked to local operator and i tried to unblock and i did mistake .
I just want to have brief guide to how to start as there are many information in this forum and i dont know which tutorial should i base ON.
Basically i just want to know which ROM should i take and procedures in order to install the correct ROM in correct way. I allready has the ODIN installed in my PC and at the moment i can navegate in my phone by Clockworkmode but i dont know what i should do after that , i do know that i can put the ROM in SD Card and try to force the mobile but first i would like to have exprties opinion on this matter, PLEASE.
Regards
Vinay
Well basically if you want to restore to original state, you have to flash the stock rom for your phone or the backup you made before (which I assume you didn't made it). Try to find the stock firmware/rom for your phone version/country/region on sammobile and flash it using odin (put your phone to download mode first). Hope it helps..
P.s: don't worry about the yellow triangle thing, it'll disappear after you flashed the stock..

Thank you sir and thank you all moderator helping me on this ,
Ok ;i understood but if i dont want to go back or lets say if i want to root and unblock without original stock ROM what procedure should i do , please.
I am also having difficulties finding the best ROMS for mobile S2 GALAXY where i should find them , please.
Best Regards
Vinay Navinchandra
Dont mention "best rom" since its against the rules.Youll get a warning and your/this thread locked.
Yeah, it's a matter of preferences if you talked about what best so browsing around and try for yourself..
Some custom rom got pre-rooted, and some need to be rooted first or even not at all. There's lotta method to root sgs2 and it's not hard at all, just google it and you'll get it..

Flashing phone soft help. Newbie questions.

Hello,
So I received this phone from my uncle to "fix" because it kept showing "Lenovo lockscreen has stopped working" nonstop. Now I want to flash a new ROM to it.
What I know about the phone:
Model -Lenovo P780
Android -4.4.2
Build-P780.V101, 2014/03/12 15:06
VIBEUI_V2.0 1437_7.14 1_ST_P780
Recovery -heweikeji CWM-Recovery v6.0.4.4 Modd by heweikeji_yueyue.
It's a CN rom already flashed custom ( I think )
I want to flash a new ROM for him because this one is really clustered ( even after factory reset tons of unnecessary apps )
My question.
What do I need to flash a new rom to this phone?
What rom should I pick? (he's a regular user ).
Do I need to update recovery?
Need the easiest way out possible.

Look here and read that tutorial about changing your firmware with one still developed.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/row-cn-how-to-check-t3333532/page2
After that go to development area in MIUI section, mirror 9. There are latest custom firmware stable versions with OTA suport.
Good luck.
