Okay im new and im looking around to find out how to flash a new rom. So i see the thing is i need
- rom manager
- flash clockworkmod recovery.
- press the button to install new rom
**( of course we are supposed to press the button to backup first. whatever i dont need backup if i have everything on dropbox and netqin sync and from there i can have everything i want at any other phone too. i dont care for settings , they are a matter of 10 minutes to download and setup the apps ).
So i try this thing.
1) I go root my phone and i get the first error. SystemBackupTest fails to run. yes i have done it properly according to the guide.
Ok whatever i think. maybe the guide is too old and jelly bean 4.1.2 20b has issues with that apk. i search around and i find the other way to root my phone. i download this file : http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/50635135/file.html, i go into recovery mode and i press root. success! im rooted.
2) since im new i test it out. i start installing whatever i find in google play and start tweaking things ) then i return it back to stock and do other tweaks. now i search for new rom. i read guides here about several rom. i now try it.
i install rom manager , i follow the guide and get error boot image signature​. ok i press vol down and power button and restart. i check around here a bit about this error. i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241754. so i see that i have to unlock the bootloader. so i find this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190326. i follow the guide and i fail because i get a message that unlock is denied. searching around i find another thread that sais ROOT MANY ANDROID. oke im confused. i cant find a proper guide around. can we make it a little easier ? can we delete the oldest threads-roots- .. whatever and keep the new ? can we clean up or sort things up please ? the older members of course are pro to all this but the newer ones we dont understand anything. we need one week only to understand where we have to click next......
So for me and any other new guy later on, what do we have to do ? where is a working guide to root the lg optimus 4x v20b and if there is not , then where is a proper guide to unlock the bootloader ? thanks............
Also here ... it sais many many wierd things. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35812268
someone sais where is made from. wt ?? the root guide naver said this is actually for japan, or this is for germany or whatever. every search i do i get to read "new" things scattered around. sort things around. delete old useless threads that get nowhere or pin at start the new ones working on the new firmware. am i wrong ?
1) This is the "original development" section. Read the rules to find that your topic should NEVER be here. (How could you even post here? Is the 10-posts-limit disabled?)
2) Don't do anything unless you know what you're doing
3) Use search function (I see you did, but still a lot to learn you have)
4) Don't use Rom Manager
5) Use search function to find out why 1-4 apply.
6) Extra hint: There's an index on the 1st page of "general section".

that didnt help at all....... thanks for moving my thread here, maybe i got dizzy after so much reading and post it there but im still searching ........ Since 8 hours im searching , following guides and restoring ...
i have lg optimus 4x p880. os: 4.1.2 - 20b. can someone tell me at least one way to install a whatever rom ?
dont tell me follow the guide or things like that , im following them. just show me links what to do and be sure for those links that will work.
Ok, I'll help you. There's a thread called "unlock-relock tool". Use it once and you're unlocked. Then get TWRP from the TWRP thread. Install it via fastboot. Then download the rom you like, boot to recovery and flash it. That's all.
And for root: There's two different ways for ICS or JB. Use the appropriate one. (4.2.1 is JB, in case you didn't know.)
I don't have the links st hand, but there's this index linked in my signature...

I think that's enough to say. I bet yo have internet access so you can search the whole web. Trust me, you will find the answers to all the questions you asked here because they are already answered.
As already stated very often in this forum, xda is not a noobie helpdesk so search and read yourself.

you mean this forum is only for developers and for developers asking help from developers about how to make their new custom rom ? if thats it , then im sorry ill find another forum to ask help. Maybe you are SO pro that you cant help someone without knowledge to unlock the bootloader. But i dont even see anyone else answering too. Maybe indeed the bootloader of 4.1.2 20b cant be unlocked yet and instead you tell me keep searching. Anyway i didnt put up this thread to fight with random people. I need help. If u actually cant help then thank you ill get help from someone that can. its the help section after all , not the world war z.
Hey, I told you how to do it. It's not my fault if you don't understand the tutorials or the software that the devs provide. It's all written down, maybe you should read it after having some sleep

You can't flash a rom when the bootloader is locked, can you? That would be a surprising fact for me... Guess you did unlock it but didn't know about it

to flash a rom.. yes..
what kind of rom ? is it stock rom ? or custom rom..
stock rom flashed using different tools than custom rom..
to flash custom rom, you need to flash custom recovery first..
to flash custom recovery, you have to unlock the bootloader first...
that's the basic knowledge

vanir rom. cant be more custom xD i pressed: 3845#*880# which is supposed to check bootloader status and gave me the message: error connection or mmi code is not valid.
Now im thinking if i can flash werewolf kernel in use with vanir rom. is it possible or the kernel has to go with specific roms ?
The command you used only works on LG stock roms.
You can use werewolf kernel but you have to use cm10.2 version

Oh please: you are a member for nearly 2 years, you installed a lot of roms in the past (read your own posts). So download a stock rom for India from the usual rom providers (like sammobile) and root it with Philz Kernel.
Kindly do it youself.

Yes Sir, i agree that i have been installing custom rom and i am also aware of rooting process
reason for asking pre-rooted CWM flashable zip rom is that i want to keep that in my phone as i tend to change rom every now and then and some times phone hangs and does not go into download mode. so i will use that file to revive phone via recovery
Kindly help if possible
This rom will get your phone back up and running!!
!!WARNING!!
I'm not responsible or liable for anything that may happen to your phone if you download and install this firmware!
This is a WORK IN PROGRESS!!!
Please feel free to help me make this rom better!
P.S.
This is not a STOCK ROM I was lucky enough to build one from parts and pieces of other stock firmware's that are available for download. Only use this rom if you turned your SM-S820L into a $120.00 bookmark!. As of right now there is no Stock firmware for this device and lots of other straight talk phones also.

Yes. I own a Tracfone model.
So I recently bought a Mi Mix that came straight from China, I was wondering if anyone could link me the necessary guides for everything I need to get a custom ROM running on the device, as I am still a beginner and have no idea what I'm doing. Only reason I asked is because I'm pretty sure it's running the Chinese firmware and I would prefer a guide or walkthrough that will 100% work with my device. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
U will find all u need here.... with link and a lot of report...
