Can i change the ROM? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, ive got an LG G2 (d805) 4 months ago from a brazillian website, everything was perfect, without useless apps and logo from any operatings. Yesterday i had to reset my device, and now on the apps field, have many many useless apps from VIVO and when i start the gadget, appears that logo too. First question, why that appears now and not before when i bought?
Second question, I dont know what ROM is installed, since i use JellyBean 4.2.2, can i Flash ANY Kitkat Rom? Or should i install an especifcly one? Please, someone help me, i'm new on this...

Yes, you can use any of the roms for the d802 version as long as you do not try and install the stock firmware for it via LG Updater or a KDZ/tot file flasher.

[Q] Software Version

Hi
I recently got my LG P500 which is my first Android phone.
I have to say it's really awesome! Though it took me a whole friggin day to get the custom restore set up, it was well worth it
I am currently running the Void Mod and the new Kernel by mik_os. Both work great!
Now there is only the software version. I have the 10a version and I heard that the 10c (I have it already on my PC) would solve the +001 bug.
My question is: If I update do I have to completely wipe my phone?
Cheers!
don't install the V10C update. it solves 1 bug but brings home many.
you should wipe your mobile. anyway everything will get deleted. so wipe as a precaution so nothing.
PS: also depends which country rom you talking about. cause different rom solves different problems & offers new ones.
I am talking about the european 10c
So just to clarify: When I install the 10c (or 10a for that matter) I will always delete my custom rom, kernel, loose root and will have to do it all again from scratch?
Is it expected that Gingerbread will come with a new software version or is that a LG problem?
V10C cannot be rooted. So don't install/upgrade to this version.
How come it cannot be rooted? I thought impossible is nothing?
So lets rephrase my question to 10a...
When I install the 10a I will always delete my custom rom, kernel, loose root and will have to do it all again from scratch?
Thx

[Q] Help rooting and installing rom Huawei y300

Hello there, how are you?
My problem is, I received an Y300 as a gift, haven't yet received it but I want to prepare the necessary things to root it and install custom roms on it. No, this isn't the first phone I install a custom rom to, as I have already played with an Optimus L5 of a friend. Could you please answer this questions?
a) How do I root the phone and install CWM or other recovery? I have found many tutorials but they are confusing, and require waiting for 2-3 days for the code to unlock the bootloader. In case you need to know, it probably is the normal Y300, the international one, so no Asian Model
b) How many ROMS are there for this phone? I like Cyanogenmod and stock roms the most, I can barely stand the stock rom in the phone, so I would like to install a new ROM on it ASAP.
c) By flashing the new ROM, do I lose IMEI or something like that (EFS Folder in Samsung phones)? If so, how can I back it up?
Thanks for your help

Here is a GUIDE to unlock the bootloader and root your phone
Thanks, LS.xD
This was all I needed, I've found a CM11 Rom in the Modaco forums, hope it works well. Just got to wait until I get the phone
Okay, so I downloaded the latest nighly of the ROM, but it appears that CM11 is not very stable and has many problems with SystemUI (statusbar) and other things. Aren't there any ROMS for the Y300 on XDA? Also, will I lose my network connectivity if I do the wipes (data,cache, dalvik cache)?
Again, thanks for all your help, I appreciate it
EDIT: Found CM10.1 here in XDA but it redirected me to Modaco, however it is quite stable, downloading now. So which wipes do I have to do, in order to get everything smooth? Also, as I said will I lose my network connectivity or IMEI if I do these wipes, or I can do this without worrying

theres no root, recovery so definately no custom roms. i dont think theres that much interest in the phone for anyone to take the time to develop for it. i got one given to mess around with and yulong/vodafone have crippled the phone , its got the most basic stock recovery without even sideload option and fastboot is useless, all it says is fastboot mode with no options to do anything, also the bootloader is locked tight and firmware is cpb, it would take someone special to crack this phone.
Just to clarify if your running android 4.4.2 it can be rooted but 4.4.4 doesnt root on this phone or the 890n version.
I have android 4.4.2 and I want to update it to 4.4.4. Is there any way to do that?

Hi, I have a Vodafone smart 4 turbo. Could ypo please send me a link to the ported CWM.
need 890n stock firmware
First of all hello to everyone now down to the point i messed up an 890n vodafone smart 4 turbo 4.4.4 and i cannot find the stock firmware anywhere can anybody help me with this i also notice that the bootloader is nice and tighty so if i found the stock firmware how could i introduce it into the device please help me thank very much
=o}
Just to confirm Kingoroot app works on 4.4.4 . The SU app also gives option now to delete ALL system apps, so do your homework.
Doing a (' site:qualcomm.com ' ) search for any of their apps is very illuminating.
I installed a root file explorer and have took out Bloatware & stuff I don't use...basically turned it into an ipod without Music functionallity, LOL.
Coolpad apps are getting themselves a bad name for surveillance & malware type actions, so beware.

Okay so um, im not exactly what you would call "good" when it comes to rooting android, and ive had the Vodafone 890N that came stock with a KitKat 4.4.4 Rom and Ive had the phone for 11 months and Just recently tried to root it, most ways i tried failed miserably but my friend got the same phone and found this exe file that he said worked for him... but it didnt, but he sent it to me and it worked for me 1st try so now i have a Vodafone 890N running 4.4.4 and its rooted. The name of the app i used is "RootGenius_v2.3.0.exe" and its in asain. So if you do it with that, and it stops and comes up with asain writing, click the blank white button... Another way i got to work was with Kingoroot... which wasnt working 5 months ago so they must've either updated it or i just got lucky
re.root
Noticed Kingo used the wifi quite a bit during the root.
They're basically tagging onto the gmscore playstore app to gain SU now.
Hi guys, can you upload de files to upgrade my Smart 4 Turbo to 4.4.4 Custom Google Rom? I've tried to use the links in the androidpt website but they are all down.
I've found a way to flash zips on to the 890N. Use KingRoot to root it. Get SuperSume from the Play Store (or internet for KingRoot 4.x) and use it. Then, download FlashFire, and use that to flash stuff

ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini - NX529J - International Rom / Firmware

Hello to anyone!
I just purchased this beautiful Z11 Mini. It arrived with a quite nice rom pre-installed, with GApps etc. But as far as I searched, there's still chinese writings, apps, and some kind of errors.
Someone knows where to find a firmware that could replace this one, with less errors and maybe more languages? An international rom, just saying.
Thanks in advance, really.
UP?
UP?
You can not port the ROM by CM ?
Here is a ROM but still 5.1.1.
Which version do you have.
The latest version is I think 1:30 ZTE.
Once the regular Z11 comes, there will be the marshmallow version.
But I want to have CM! I try all the time, but I do not come here throughout.

Hi.
The best rom available for this model is here:

You must have Twrp installed on your phone and just flash.
It's the 1.30 version but you will get an Ota notification to update to V 1.32.
Multilanguage and stable.
Hey,
I have downloaded the last version from Nubia (1.36) and customized it to remove chinese bloatware and useless stuff.
It's light enough to flash the STOCK opengapps ! (64 Bits for 5.1)
First boot take a while when flashing stock but it's working smoothly !
Here is my share : https://mega.nz/#!ehBAHZAK!t6MVMKOhRNHjomBwfnKXDvvG4U5Nf-samL1EYNddFAk
Flash it from TWRP with a full wipe.

You would have to use lg up and then find a kdz file for your variant of the g5. Then boot into download mode and select upgrade and then start
