Hello Fire owners!
I open this thread to keep all things of Fire together, only one thread, everything here.
So here we go:
THIS THREAD IS FOR MOTOROLA XT311/XT316/XT317, XT530/XT531, XT532 AND XT611 (aka SMARTFLIP) ONLY. IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR THREAD, PLEASE PM ME AND PASS ME YOUR POST. LET'S KEEP XDA ORGANIZED!
CWM FOR FIRE XT XT530/XT532, SPICE XT XT531, FIRE XT311, SPICE KEY XT316 OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED
This thread was focused in the 2nd-Init for XT31X and XT530, 531 and 532. For almost six months, we worked patientlly to get the CWM working on our devices. The wait for CWM is OFFICIALLY OVER. In a couple days ago, our friend aweosomeabhijeet found a way to run CWM on Gingerbread. The tutorial (made by himself) will be posted NOW:
Hey Guys
All your wait is over.
Here I'll tell you how to get CWM for Moto Fire XT.
Disclaimer : I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone. I have tried it and finished successfully.
Try only if you know little bit about android.
This is beta version. However, a dev is working on not using a PC to reboot back into system, and is trying to make the installation simplified.
Lot of thanks to andrewidya
Required things
1. Rooted XT
2. Pc
Download these things on your phone:
1. Terminal emulator
2. Busybox(Open it and install)
3. Root browser
4. Pimp my Rom
5. ES file explorer
You can find all of them in the Play Store.
If you have done with it download the attachment.
Now main work.
It is not easy though but I think everyone can do it.
Steps:
1. Extract the attachment and copy it to your sdcard
2. Mount /system as RW.
3. Open Root Browser and copy bootmenu folder from sdcard/XT530 and paste it in /system.
4. Open Pimp My Rom and Add universal init.d support.
5.Create 97bootmenu manually.(For this using ES file explorer is recommended)
Steps:
a.Open /system/etc/init.d
b. Create a file, name it 97bootmenu.
c. Open the file as text
Type:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop
exec /system/bootmenu/binary/bootmenu
d.save the file
6. Change permissions of 97bootmenu to rwx r-- r--
7. Reboot your phone.
Now your phone will start at bootmenu.
Select Recovery>Custom Recovery
PS: If you want to get back the phone to boot normally. Just connect it to PC, open CMD and type
cd path-to-adb.exe
adb shell
rm -R /system/etc/init.d/97bootmenu
exit
adb reboot
I succeeded here's the video:

Sorry for poor camera quality.
Thanks to all the members.
Special Thanks to:
Gentrylamp for creating bootmenu.
7amdoun for his great knowledge and modding bootmenu for XT530.
andrewidya for correcting me at every point.
Mazen.kh for everything he did.
Mr.Indigo for giving us hopes.
And all other members whom I forgot to mention here.

THANKS TO HIM AND TO ALL OF THE DEVELOPERS WHO HELPED TO GET THIS.
ROOTING & UNROOTING
You will follow this tutorial if you have 2.3.5 version of Android:
Downloads:
Here are the apps/files needed for Rooting -
1. SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0
2. SUT LR 1.8.2 (Doesn't seem to be working on 64-bit systems)
3. FXX_PR3_NV.xml and NvDefinition.xml [ATTACHED]
Before Rooting:
Prepare your phone by doing the following:
- Go to Settings > Applications > CHECK "Unknown Sources"
- Go to Settings > Applications > Developer > CHECK "USB Debugging" and "Stay Awake"
- Connect your phone via USB, when prompted DO NOT select USB Mass Storage.
- Extract FXX_PR3_NV.xml and NvDefinition.xml from the attached zip file in to a folder
- Now, install SUT LR, run the app
- Select the FXX_PR3_NV.xml [ensure NvDefinition.xml is also in the same folder as FXX_PR3_NV.xml]
- Your phone will restart.
It does NOT erase anything on the phone, since it only patches the ROM.
Rooting:
After the phone restarts, open SuperOneClick and select root. It will take less than a minute to finish.

about CG2.smg
Hey man I'm interested in the thread and i can help you extracting the CG2.smg
Here you are my tut. [for windows] it worked for me
1- unrar the file in the attachments
2- make sure that your file is named to 'CG2.smg' without quotes for sure, and in the same folder..
3- just run the .bat and wait for cmd to finish the job then you will find a folder called 'CG2-extracted' in the same place you extracted my .rar file
Note: you will find in the folder called 'CG2-extracted' some mbn files, systemsec.mbn is the /system folder in the xt311/xt316
extract it easily using unyaffs like a system.img file, if you need help in this PM me. i can help you extracting systemsec.mbn only, i dunno about other files also to repack systemsec.mbn you'll need mkyaffs and i think it's usable on ubuntu only and i can't help you with it
sorry for long reply but press thanks if i helped.

Anytime Sir ! I just want to help in anyway getting this device better, By the way here's a list of useless applications so far !
- 7x27_FQC.apk
- Arabware.apk < 7 megabytes and useless
- Wifipowersavingmode.apk < I think it drains the battery faster -.-
- i also removed all motoswitch APKs, And installed go launcher instead in the system. And removed pre-installed live wallpapers
Also if you have errors like "preparing sd card - checking for errors" in the status bar you can delete system/bin/fsck_msdos since i deleted i get no errors for my partitioned sd card
Q/Request: Do you know how can i customize Notify led ? Like changing color and speed ? also it doesn't work with whatsapp!
Thanks anyway ! Ps. led works by Notifyled.apk.. of course you know xD
And Yeah, i found some srs files also, time ago, i thought it would be awesome to have a panel for it ! but maybe it's the normal speakers at the back and it's drivers..

No, i don't know, srry!
And we cannot use the control panel with the file incluided in the ROM. Needs a lot of files...
And i'm trying to por XT300 Toggle Widget to XT316. It will be harder but... it's beautiful!

It's weird how motorola build their phones and drivers, unlike samsung they give full customization !
And good luck man i wish i could help but i'm not really helpful in porting and modding

Yeah, Motorola lock the bootloader, locks the customization and much more. We need a CWM. FASTER!
Edit: before 2.3 versions, Motorola odexed the roms. All of the files were odexed. But Motorola now deodexed everything. So it will be easier.
And i think we can port the CWM from XT300. So, let's try!

I didn't know that there was cwm for xt300, but i think, if there is cwm for xt530/xt531/xt532 it'd be easier to port, since xt53X is to close to our xt311/xt316 and it also have 2.3.5 while xt300 2.1 only
Edit: i think xt311/xt316 users will never have custom recoveries/roms unless the bootloader is unlocked, and it'll be so hard to unlock such bootloader since the phone is not popular

Some guys tried to do an 2ndInit to maybe try to get CWM work. But didn't worked. A file from the battery (when you turn off the phone and conntect the charger, the big battery icon) was missing. But works without this file.
AND I FOUND WHERE WE CAN ACTIVATE SRS! Is in cda.prop, it's configured to false.
So what happens if i changed the value to true ?
i don't think cda props apply actually i tried to change the value of lock screen support rotation to true and nothing changed.
And Yup i read something about that battery icon too but i didn't understand fully how does that relate to unlocking bootloader
i think the bootloader must get hacked easily since as i see it's a common bootloader in many fones for ex. xt530 xt531 xt532 xt300 xt311 xt316 xt317 or am i wrong ?
If i can test the ROM in my computer (i don't know how to do it), we see if works. And Bootloader it's not the same for every phone series. XT300 executes 2.1 WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. And XT316 with 2.3.5 WITH THE LOCKED Bootloader.
The SRS file is in the attachments. Just take a look on the 'st line:
BLOCK... I understand that is blocked.
And the battery icon maybe is on a apk or anywhere. We might look better.
EDIT:
I googled around and i found a thread that talks about CG2.smg. They tried to do the same what i doing, and didn't finish very well. The phone was bricked, but they use some files, replace and the ROM was going on very well.

i actually didn't understand what you said in the "EDIT" but i read that even with a locked bootloader we can have a custom rom, but not a custom kernel right ?
so you can recompress the edited cg2.smg files and re sbf it again after customizing it or am i saying meaningless words ?

OK. I will explain the edit first.
They edit the systemsec.mbn, repack the mbn and repack everything. but they've got an error. Then, the phone was bricked and RSD doesn't saw the phone.
A custom kernel will be pretty great, but we have to unlock the bootloader 1st.

so what kind of error did they get, cause i wanted to do the same as they and repack the rom as sbf and flash it..
also, can we try porting as .nb0 rom? i can see our stock recovery have the option to flash nb0 files

Maybe... Here is the error they got:
I got this after the flash attempt.

I've got from ModMyMobile (M3). They mod and bang! Bricked the device!
But they recovered.

This is cda.prop right?
it has some tweaks like build.prop, if you tried to change the mobile model that appears to the market from build.prop it won't work, but if you change it from cda.prop it will work also it have some other tweaks that i actually don't know what's it's use
And Don't Forget Thanks Button ^^
XT316 bricked
Hello guys, sorry if this is not the best place to post a problem but, this is the only one active discussion about XT316 that i have found, i have this phone with Brazil Claro stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread Android installed, then i have installed the ChainFire3D hoping to have better experience with some games...
But i got a bricked phone... when powering on, the phone shows only the Motorola logo, then a black screen with no response, and continous reboot
I started the phone in recovery mode and tryed to perform a Factory Recover, but no sucess, same with Wipe Cache Partition option, so, what is left to do now is my question...
Hi,
I make this thread to summarize the avaible Rom for The alcatel ot 990
Sorry, for mistakes

To come back to a 2.2.2 Rom, you have to do that before flashing the Rom (With this, you downgrade to a 2.2.2 Télénor Rom and after, you can install another 2.2.2 Rom) (Do this if you are using a 2.3.4 Rom) (Thanks to qltsar)
Now the 2.2.2 Roms:
- The French Rom stock:
1st link
2nd link
(Save these files in the same folder, because the second archive is the end of the first)
You must download the two part of the rom to install the romThis backup of Rom come from my phone
To install this Rom, you need to have the ClockWorkMod Recovery installed and the install script from gulyuk.s.
-The French Rom Orange
This backup of Rom come from niidhope from the French thread on the alcatel ot 990, on the hardware forum.
To install this Rom, you need to have the ClockWorkMod Recovery installed and the install script from gulyuk.s.

You are so cute.
How to install Roms on the alcatel ot 990
First, you need to install the ClockWorkMod Recovery:
-If you are using a 2.2.2 Rom, you must follow this post (Thanks to profete162)
-If you are using a 2.3.4 Rom, you must follow this post (Thanks to sigprof)
If you don't need the gulyuk.s script, you must put the archive on your sdcard, and you have to go to "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard" and now choose the archive that you have put on your sdcard.
If you need the gulyuk.s script,you must, firstly, download the
BackupAndRestoreOT990 archive (from ot-990.blogspot.fr) unpack it and put the two file on the sdcard (don't unpack these files).
Secondly, create a folder named "firmware" on the root of sdcard.
Thirdly, unpack the archive of the Rom you want to install, and put the three file (boot.img, custpack.img and system.img) and the "firmware" folder.
Now go to the ClockWorkMod Recovery, choose "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard" and choose "restore_by_Gulyuk.zip". (The script install the three file of the "firmware" folder).

Hi guys,
Few days ago I bought Alcatel OT 990 and since then i was trying to read as much as I can about this phone, about ROM's, rooting etc...Because this is my first Android phone...
So, back to the topic, I was looking for a custom ROM, one without dozens of pre installed applications and stuff I will probably never use. So I was suggested to try French stock ROM (thanks, that was push i needed to overcame my fears of bricking phone)...
French stock rom (required rooting, installing recovery and gulyuk.s script to install firmware) and gain nothing except SU rights on my phone and different welcome screen when I turn my phone ON...
So, my question is, does anyone knows is there a custom rom, some kind of "clean slate" without bunch of "useless" applications?
Boris
No "clean slate" ROMs yet. Hopefully CM7 is going to be one. Meanwhile use some of available Root Uninstaller programs available on Market (I hate GP combination of words). But be cautious, With root uninstallers You can brick Your phone (nothing that can't be fixed by re flashing ROM but it is a pain in the... You know)
Bole, samo hrabro
Well, I will not uninstall this what I have done until that CM7 comes out... then I will see what is smart thing to do...
Send me a pm if you know some good instruction on how to set partition on SD card..
Do you want to use link2sd?
Maybe this can help you
If you want more app space, you mustn't delete this apps
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]GoogleBackupTransport
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter [/COLOR]
GoogleFeedback [can be delete but you must reboot to stop Force Close]
GoogleQuickSearchBox [useless if you don't use the search button]
[COLOR="Red"]GoogleServicesFramework [/COLOR]
JrdSetupWizard [useless after first setup of the phone]
LatinImeTutorial [just an explanation for the cooltek keyborad]
[COLOR="Red"]MarketUpdater
MediaUploader
NetworkLocation[/COLOR]
SetupWizard [useless after first setup of the phone]
[COLOR="red"]Vending[/COLOR]
VoiceSearch [useless if you don't use voice search]
( In red, the thing you MUSTN'T delete, if you don't want to brick your phone)
EDIT: For this, you can use root explorer or es file explorer

Hey, please spare some time for me as I really want this to be fixed
I am using a Mini Pro running on Stock ROM and Kernal
It is rooted and has CWM 5.0.2.7-nAa
I recently downloaded Cyanogenmod 9.1 for my xperia mini pro (Sk17i) (Mango)
I went through the following steps to install it:
Did data/factory wipe
Wiped cache partition
Wiped Dalvik cache
Wiped battery stats
Then i proceeded to install .zip from sd card and so on until i located the .zip which was on my sd cards root directory
put it to install and i end up with this
--Installing: /sdcard/cm9.1.0-mango.zip
Finding update package
Opening update package

I want to know why i am getting this
I tried CM10 and 7 for my device and i get the same errors
Please give me instructions on what to do in the most simplest ways possible, you can give links to tutorials but i may find them hard because most seem complicated to me so please try and tell me in your own simple words what to do, I am a complete noob at this

Get yourself first:

1. download Kernel TFT (appropriate one) and flash it using flash tool (and guess what... here is picture guide by Mihahn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879982)
2. upload CM9-3 to sd card and try again with CWMRec/Flashtool mode install (depending whether u download .zip or .tft with ROM)
and read read read before u do smthng bad to ur small friend.

I am so sorry if I am bothering you or anything but I was going through the links, very handy and simple, and i came across this in the last link you have put about downlaoding a kernal .TFT
When reading through it says
Now you are ready to install a custom rom/kernel.
Let's start:
You go to development section and choose a rom you want for your device. You download the rom and the kernel for your device (make sure it is the right for yours! Sometimes the kernel is included in the installation zip file of the rom.
Now you have the boot.img and the rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now where is the Development section?
Where do i find the Boot.img?
What is the proper one for my sk17i?
I have downloaded CM9.1 for Mango from the cm official website and there is a boot.img inside the zip, should i just extract the boot.img out and keep it near the .zip file? and should i use this instead of the mini cm provided?
I really appreciate the links you have given and hope all my doubts can be cleared for me to actually start the process
Will hit that thanks button if it is a success :good:

S/W = Software.
To install stock software, even if ur phone is in bootloop, u may use PC Companion.
1. Start mobile in Flash mode (BACK/VOL+/- pressed when phone turned off and connecting usb cable + PC Companion enabled)
2. Agree on loosing all data Choose model (be careful -u20 and sk17i and sk17a are all mini pro, use hardware version marking)
3. allow it to work - it will download stock software for ur mini pro
Effect: unroot stock phone. U can root it again with FlashTool or one of root methods (for sk17i I believe so called zergRush does the job - search forums or gogole it )
Afterwards proceed with instructions for
1. Rooting
2. Unlocking bootloader
3. Reflashing phone with custom kernel and custom ROM
BE ADVISED: Above "root/unlock bootloader" actions usually void ur warranty. Be sure what u r doing, read thoroughly steps to not brick ur phone and do not be scared if bootloop happens - just find a way to enter flash mode again and use other .tft/ROM
OR - if u have already unlocked bootloader - simply download appropriate .tft file and flash it on ur phone using FlashTool. (the so called generic sk17i ROM has been provided in .tft format here: http://rumah-android.com/official-xperia-mini-pro-sk17i-4-1-b-0-431-firmware-ics-4-0-4.html)
U mighgt want to see through some of posts here to reduce ur noobishness http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471521
And use custom kernels/stock roms known for their stability in latest release/nigh release (search for xda forum threads).

Will get to it
I cant just plug my phone in and use the repair option from support zone?
It says that will erase all internal memory by replacing the software
So should I use that method?
And yeah, ive experience bootloop before so im fine and know what to do
And after all this is done and i get everything tis fine to restore my apps and studd using titanium right?

Development Section is a section of XDA forum, where crazy programmers deliver their kernels and ROMS...
This link is in Development Section, I believe the CM u r looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629334
Be advised - above CM requires custom kernel sk17i, it says it in Requirements in above link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25550442
If u succeed to unlock bootloader, it gets pretty simple, simpler than in Mihahn guide.
1. Given u have bootloader unlocked: using FlashTool u flash kernel (the .tft file) - thus u won't have to care about separate boot.img / .sin files flashing, they are incorporated in .tft thing.
2, If it suceeds - using flashtool u reset to recovery
3. USING CWM options - u mount ur USB storage
4. U put from ur PC zip with CM9
5. Unmount USB storage
6. Wipe all data as it says in ROM thread - otherwise u risk **** to hit the fan
7. Update from .zip, point to zip on sdcard
8.Relax
9. Get cofee
10. Relax
11. Watch it progress
12. Relax
13. Pray for best
14. After it finishes - reboot to normal. Be advised - first reboot after flashing ROM is always long, linux + ROM does automagic stuff
Short who's who:
kernel; linux kernel, da animal that is engine of subsequent android devices (i.e. kernel with Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Beans Adnroid releases) U NEED CAREFULLY CHOOSE THE ONE APPRIOPRIATE FOR UR DEVICE
ROM - closest to operating system u get on mobile devices, u might have different ROMs wortking on specific kernel
CWM - clockworkmode recovery - ur last resort if **** hits the fan to change ROM without reflashing kernel
I hope I got this as simple as I could... Sorry, I was former mobile s/w developer, such stuff is just usual for me, my stock u20i software didn't last 24h - I just immediately reflashed it co CM6, later to CM7 - just to have some options not available in stock rom connected to power management and application management.

Yes.
Generic ROM / Repair options brings u back to stock sk17i SE ROM. I dont remeber if repair option uploaded latest update, if yes - u might still have to use generic sk17i tft thing.
With restoring option - to be honest I didn't test it. It didn't worked well for me on CM6 and CM7 upgrade, yet possibly I did not all the things right. Still, if u have backed up apps and data on sdcard, it might be possible - please check it before reflashing ROMS (just root, install latest titanium backup and simply test the stuff).
Good luck on ur journey to reflash...

I have flashed the kernal to a xperia arc kernal (TO downgrade for rooting)
I start up doomlords rooter thingy
And once i press anykey its on this
daemon not running. Start it now
daemon started successfully
And its just there
Ive used this program to root before and it worked
Btw after installing the neo kernal the phone doesnt restart, only on black scree, ive gotten that before but it had rooted successfully before
Please help me out :/
what are you doing?
if you want cm10, you don't need to root you phone, just simply flashing the rom will give you root
also flashing a kernel not meant for your device will obviosely create problems
instead try flashing this kernel

and this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780326
Sorry for the inconvinience
Alright then, sorry for my stupidity, i realized the phone had to be connected in MSC
*Facepalm*
Rooting done, going to now flash it back
Wish me luck :fingers-crossed:
Thanks alot

Seems to me u probably have a device not "introducing" itself properly Or maybe it's build...
Maybe try the other way around and it right since the beginning.
Get yourself first:
- stock kernel & s/w rreinstalled (via PC Companion)
- since this is sk17i - unlock ur bootloader via official Sony way: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ (yet first watch the tutorial form Mihahn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31376248#post31376248 )
- get urself latest FlashTool and install it (http://androxyde.github.com/), use it to root ur phone -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30441163#post30441163
-
- go in very details through here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629334 and
1. download Kernel TFT (appropriate one) and flash it using flash tool (and guess what... here is picture guide by Mihahn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879982)
2. upload CM9-3 to sd card and try again with CWMRec/Flashtool mode install (depending whether u download .zip or .tft with ROM)
and read read read before u do smthng bad to ur small friend.

If I ever meet you in real life, i would give you a hug
I dont know how to thank you!
It worked, i followed the original instructions which are quoted above ^ and it worked
I used a .img file to flash using flashtool and then flashed using CWM6 which came with the kernal
In the startup process
One thing that is a bummer is the slide out keyboards symbols which are printed on my phone do not match the ones which came with CM9
Meaning, on letter 'M' there is the symbol "%" in blue, so when i press the function button on the keyboard i end up with another Symbol when pressing "M", any way to fix it??
And one more thing
I have CM9, is it recommended to install CM10 nightly or should i wait for a stable release?
And if CM10 was good to install what steps should I use to install it?
Should i just place the .zip in the root of sd, then bootup in CWM and then install zip from sdcard?
Or i use the method you gave above?
Or I just boot in CWM and clear data and install from SD?
Hoping for a reply, and thanks alot! :laugh:

The CM10 Nightly i download from CM official website has a boot.img inside the zip
I can use that as the kernal to flash?

yep any cm10 kernel would work, however the fxp one does not have the best battery life or the best performance but it is the most stable
hello guys
i got a clone samsung device ( MT 6572 chip) and it's rom buggy so i go with try porting roms .... i tried lolifox rom for mtk 6572 and it worked for me but cant connect to google services (logging in gmail) and the system is also up-down screen (like CWM screen when boot to it).
the original system screen is setup right but buggy and cant go with it anymore , anyone can help me ???
i need a light and bugless rom ( i choose http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/05/lolli...72-kitkat.html )
and if cant be worked , can anyone tell me how to repair and re-install my stock rom ( some apps not installed/working successfully) and remove from my stock rom unnecessary files/apps (like google+ ,Samsung apps , google maps, .... etc) and just let the critical apps can be remain in stock rom to made my rom light and smooth????
any links and info will be helpful for me , i will be grateful for u
thx
To 'flip' your screen, get root explorer or other file manager with root, go to root/system/buildprop and look for the line: ro.sf.hwrotation=0 and change it to: ro.sf.hwrotation=180 then save and reboot.
OR before you flash the rom, unzip it, open system folder, open build.prop in notepad++ and find that line and change it. Save that, zip the rom back up and flash that.
To get a good rom go here: http://the-daffi.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/CUstom rom is in Indonesian but find a 6572 rom and the download links are obvious. Then unzip the rom, copy YOUR boot.img from a working rom/stock rom/rom you are using now and paste into the new rom overwriting the boot.img already there. The zip that rom up and flash that to check it works OK. If it does, port the rom fully, instructions here: http://computerplusandroid.blogspot.com/2015/09/mtk-porting-guide-for-jellybean-same-soc.html
For stock roms, go here: http://www.needrom.com and search for your phone, register then download.

yes, add that line to the build prop. my mtk phone is 4.2 not 4.4 and cwm is always upside down, always has been, all versions. just one of those things i get used to it. even though my roms are right way up.

I cant help with that, I'm in UK so English is default language. I assume one could google arabic language and install that, or find superswiftkey and download the language from that?

How is this ROM different/better from @Amit.A ROM
[ROM][5.1.1][NOTE5][SM-N750][N7505][Deodexed]?NoteRom
Also, I am currently running this above mentioned ROM but I am hardly getting 1 signal bar strength most of the time which is very frustrating. Have you fixed it in this ROM bro? Thumbs up for your good work, please reply ASAP so I can install your ROM.

Am I stupid or will this end in a stock ROM (although rooted) with only the boot.img different if I don't remove any "system apps" ?
So is this "ROM" single difference with stock is we can remove what we want ? Can we do it also once we've restored the Note/Noble boot.img ? This would be great, along with the fact to stick close to stock gives more chances to be bugs free isn't it ?
Please tell me (I'm newb and non-english easy), what does "combo"ROM stand for ?
Thanks

Yes you are right in that this ROM is different from stock in boot.img. But this ROM is different from stock in having no bloatwares and few other patches..
"COMBO" here means this ROM is combination of Noble and Stock ROM
How is it possible that said "patches" would survive to stock reflash. These aren't in boot.img (this is the way you say to install : just install to backup boot.img then erase all with stock and restore boot.img backup). Wouldn't it be simpler to just distribute the tweaked boot.img then only flash this one ?
More, above, about 7505 you say "it's easy" to make it. But where is Noble for 7505 ? It is no more available. In fact this is my main problem to give try to your pragmatic way
Query for rooting Samsung note 3 neo ...
Can you please elaborate step 2 ... I have reboot to recovery. What do you mean by make small backup? Where and How to make it ?
