hi all
at first sorry if i post my problem in a wrong place because in the Q&A thread i couldn't get my answer ( I've waited 3 days )
i have LG L90 D405 and i wanna have a custom rom on my phone
1) what should i do?? i mean how to unlock bootloader and root my phone and also flash a custom recovery and a custom rom??
i read some threads and i learned that i have to write some codes in a terminal ( im not sure what terminal they are speaking of ) also learned i must have cygwin and some other applications to unlock bootloader but the problem is that there is not a complete answer to do it step by step from first to the end

help flashed my ray having problems

hi i flashed my xperia ray with the ST18i_Official_4.0.4_Stock_ROM_RAY_jjdoctor i was on gingerbread 2.3.4 before and now i cant get past the cwm recovery screen it just keeps coming up and wont boot into the phone mode , any help wood be appreciated guys on what i have done wrong and hopefully i can rectify it
Can you please tell us in detail the steps you followed and what tools you used?
"I flashed it and it broke" is a bit hard to diagnose
1) I unlocked by bootloader by doing <thing you did>
2) I loaded flashtool and flashed <file X> I found <where'd you get file X>
3) Then I etc etc etc.
Then we can see if you missed a step, or did a step the wrong way around etc.
Cheers,
Tim
sorry lol was in a rush when typing this my bootloader was unlocked with the 2 probe method and wire and loaded the ST18i_Official_4.0.4_Stock_ROM_RAY_jjdoctor into the flashtool and just flashed , i got the file from the forums here i know i prob just done a stupid thing by flashing straight away but could really do with a step by step guide as im a noob at this kind of stuff or directed to a good guide , i also just restored the phone back to stock and its working again thanks to wotan client so i cant try again hopefully getting it right this time
right got it up and running with some messing about i managed to flash the xray kernel first then install the custom rom and works perfect only thing that didnt work was the phone data but will be sorting that out now or if anyone knows or had the same prob give me a hand lol

I got stuck a lot of times but i haven't asked about it... because I researched...
then when I get stuck, I repeat, get stuck again, revert then look for another process
It always pays to be prepared
Yeah yeah, everyone is new when we start modding their phones... but due to the age(relative) of the thread, there were already exchanges of questions and answers.
I bet you haven't heard or seen the help thread
Here's what I do EVERYTIME I do mods on my phone:
research (what files, how to do it, expected results)
research (fallback methods, including what others have done, read the threads/conversations/posts etc...)
yeah they do take a long time (2 weeks to 1 month)... then...
I executed the processes on my own, and boom! they WORKED
It pays to be prepared...
could you please ask you question at the Q&A thread and not open up a new thread every time you stumble upon a problem where your question may or may not be answered already?

1. Download gingerbread tft (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627627)
2. Open flashtool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351324)
3. Flash gingerbread tft via flashtool
4. Enjoy the speed and stability
its real easy! check the stickys then post in q&a then post on the forums
Or... You can try custom ROMs, depending of how your bootloader is, locked or unlocked.

How about reading the identical thread posted In Question and Answers today noob rooting .
But really you need to read and learn the basics before anything rooting is not some magic potion .

. Sorrt if i m eing stuoid but i really dont wanna brick my new device :/ thanks
Then read the basics first 30 seconds does not give you any knowledge .
Use CF root from development is probably the simplest method if you follow the instructions .But i fail to see why you want to root a device when you dont even know what root is .

I read it all, i know what rooting is about, i wanna root, but at the sametime i dont wanna brick my device! I want adocker, titanium backup
Thank you for ur time
if you read it all, then you already know how to root, and that you posted in the wrong section
Its like we should beg you for little help?? EXCUSE ME if i posted in the wrong section its not a big deaal! I thought it was a site for helping noobs like me sorry for bothering u but i expected more help from u guys..
You have all needed help in the threads that were outlined for you. Read and make. That's all. We won't write for the 123456th time things already present everywhere on the internet. I personally used Samsung s3 toolkit that you can find in original android dev stickies thread.
I just followed what is written.
Noone is going to spoonfeed you, go read it yourself like we all did

[Q] HOW TO unlock bootloader on android 4.4.2 CM 11 Galaxy S3

Hi. I have question about bootloader . I am not 100% sure if i have unlocked bootloader so could somebody can tell me how to do it properly , safely on Galaxy S3 with 4.4.2 android ( with Cyanogenmod 11 ) ?
I was given a answer in my first post that i have unlocked bootloader beacause i have installed the CM11 with their installer . But after trying to find a answer if i have unlocked bootloader on other sites in the mean time of waiting for answer here , i found a lot of contrary info, so i am a little scared to try with bigger mods to my phone ( kernel) . So - how to unlock bootloader on my specs ? or how to check if i have this already ? thanks
if you have a custom rom you have an unlocked bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Bootloader
Bootloader on the S3 is not locked, there are no 'unlocked' versions as it was never locked in the first place. S3 is easy to flash and mod, but also to destroy in the process, backup your efs is the primary concern.
Mod Edit
As per the XDA RULES # 5
Please post only once on the same subject.
Use your original thread to continue this.

help in installing JellySnap V7.0

Good Morning
how can i install JellySnap Rom 7.0 For I9100 ?
should i root my device first or install a custom recovery or something ?
Thank you
Read the thread, follow the instructions - of course you're going to need a custom recovery to flash almost all custom roms, and obviously you're going to need to root your phone to do that.
So where can i find the thread of the custom recovery and the root?
and how to install them ?
By searching like everyone else.
i searched on the forum and found some threads but i am not good in English so i cant understand but i found This and understood what it says
http://www.droidviews.com/root-and-...laxy-s2-gt-i9100-on-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean/
should i follow the thread ?
