Could you perhaps also add a [GLOSSARY] section? Some of us n00bs have no idea what "root", "hboot" and "s-off" mean?!
This thread would be an awesome starting point.

i tried some search but failed to find the answer. grateful if somebody could answer this in FAQ:
How to restore to stock state (stock HBOOT, recovery & rom), in case of returning to htc for repair?
thanks.
Where can I find the original kernel DESIRE HTC HD?
To flash with ClocworkMod Recovery.
Thanks
What I was looking for in a FAQ/Wiki sections for the Android Platform was more on the lines of the following
Breaking down the structure for a 'build' as in the different components :-
kernels
ROMs
Boot.imgs
etc etc
A brief explanations as to the parts and any interaction/dependencies so that you know you can use x with Y but not Z
I am not bothered about bragging rights that clockdriod is better than magentamod, all I was after was a description so that I could make an educated stab at getting a quality working platform without bricking my device.
As of now I used used visionary to root my machine, then installed clockworkmod, and finished off with LeeDROID 1.2, but for the life of me I do not know if I need to have a different kernel, boot.img secure or unsecure or whatever.
THAT is the kind of info I am trying to put together in my own mind, and at each step understanding the outcome so that I am able to offer solid qualified support for any other newcomer to this fast evolving party, I have been using/involved in the WM platform from V5 onwards, cooking my own ROMS and offering support and assistance to fellow, so I am not a noob (as such) but have been VERY wary of applying settings as 'some' people around here dole out help/support/guidance without considering the ramifications to the poor sucker who does not fully understand what some of the changes actually do.
Please note this is not a gripe, more an observation, and I am working on my own glossary and will upload/add when I am confident the steps are safe (!)
Can any kind soul explain what can be done ONLY with S-OFF? e.g. if i want to apply themes that need to replace framework-res.apk, must i have S-OFF (or this can already be achieved by mounting /system as read-writable)?
Thanks in advance.
I am currently following a tutorial to try and install a custom rom (for the first time) on my X10 mini pro, I got the hold of the old flash-tool, but since I am a noob I want the GUI to make sure I make no mistakes. Anyway, this link is broken: www-stud.uni-due.de/~sfanmakr...0Flash-2.1.zip
Could anyone be an angel and upload this zip or link me to a working mirror?
Thanks!
yes no...
i think the right answer, is the answer of the fail answer... bla bla !
This forum is such an incredible source of information, tutorials, how-tos and customised apps/roms etc. and finding the flashtool through google is impossible since every hit is a link to this forum, and this forums only (it seems) link to the tool is down.
That's a pity
..
It's come to my attention that EU people are expressing an interest in this tool.
I'd be happy to expand support as log as I can get the proper feedback.
For hacking:
these lines in windows (hack-ace.cmd) validate the adb connection for the NAM ACE (Inspire):
if /i "%check:~0,-10%"=="MB" goto :working
if /i "%check:~0,-10%"=="HT" goto :working
I've added:
if /i "%check:~0,-10%"=="SH" goto :working
to support EU serial numbers starting with SH.
In Linux/OSX, it's this line:
sudo adb devices|egrep -i -q '(HT)|(MB)'
modified to look like this:
sudo adb devices|egrep -i -q '(HT)|(MB)|(HS)'
You can easily edit the script to add support for your model likewise. Please let me know what's missing and I'll add it.
Restoring to stock:
I'll need Carrier/region, stock CID, and a link to a RUU in zip format from a reliable mirror with an md5sum, then restore for that specific model can be added to that menu.
The link must be reliable and work with wget. No BS captcha/popup hell crap. No exceptions.
DHD boot images now added for non-North American Model DHDs, which should result in fully operational stock roms for ALL DHD, NAM and non-NAM.
The ACE Advanced Hack kit is currently the only one step s-off and root for devices requiring gold card and radio downgrade, and both processes are included in the one step.
If the PC is operating properly, no data is lost and the original ROM remains intact.
The goldcard process is fully integrated and goes fully unnoticed by most users.
If you have questions or issues, please visit the IRC channel in my SIG. Be patient, no one is paid to provide support there. We can help when available.
Gotta say thanks, its by far the easiest way I've heard of rooting the Dhd, i'm surprised its not better known about, I'll do my best to make sure more hear of your great work.
Everyone involved in this deserves a lot of credit
Edit.. You may find a bit more traffic on here now, I've got this stickied on the Dhd general sticky roll up thread. thanks again
just to say lots of thanks for great tool guys
tested with different build numbers
all worked great
so easy and great result
thanks a lot
My DHD is unbranded so I don't need a Goldcard. Can I use this tool to root my DHD?
Thanks

It shouldn't hurt. You'll just end up with a goldcard anyway that won't be needed. The HBOOT will just ignore the goldcard.

i can't seen to flash Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M
Sent my DHD to mcare for repair because of bad sound, got it back with new main board, speaker and receiver and 2.50.405.2 installed.
This rooted my DHD without downgrade on a few minutes, perfect work man.

Hi, i have some EU ROMs if needed (Vodafone uk/f, O2 uk, Meteor irl etc).
Hi attn1
I'm a moderator in a german smartphone community (pocketpc.ch). For this community, I translated your EFFEN-Manual to German and added some important information for european dhds (as example the notice not to flash an AT&T ROM on a european dhd).
I'd like to link to the my german version of the manuel, but because i'm a new user on XDA it isn't allowed to me
I hope it's ok for you that I took your work without asking
I would be delighted if you pack de german EFFEN Manual to de package, so its easier to download and understand it for German users
Greetz and many thanks for your great work with the aahk!

Actually, I just need good reliable links to them and MD5s - the hack kit downloads the ROMS rather than including them. It would get very unwieldy mighty quickly otherwise - those RUUS are big.

Yeah, we can even do that and even have a language toggle for the menus. Stop into the IRC channel in my sig and we can work out details. WWE RUU's can be added to the restore menu, too.
My ROM is 2.50.405.2, latest original EU ROM
I just used this hack and I got Cwm but no s-off. Followed the instructions. Also I cant boot into the rom. I get stuck on the white screen (waited at the white screen for a couple of minutes).
Used latest ota stock europe rom.
Flashed custom rom now to see if it works.
Great program rooted and installed custom rom, in 10 minutes

Then there were some issues with your USB comms. Those should have been resolved so that you could rerun the hack kit properly. You may have a mess develop without S-OFF and a more current version of CWM.

Hello bois, I got a QiKU 360 N4 which is a pretty sick phone for the money I paid it.
It came out recently on the chinese market and its bootloader is locked.
I googled a bit and found some tutorials tho unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, because somebody compiled that already! Awesome, right?
Too bad are in chinese, yeah.
Google translate doesn't help that much, it is incomprehensible, and even if it did help: I am required to sign up to the chinese forum to read the whole tutorial (which requires me to understand how to sign up) and from what I understand the procedure makes use of a software running on windows to enter the bootloader and such software is in chinese only!
So I am looking for some kind soul who could translate the procedure and, if possible, reupload the necessary files somewhere so people like me wouldn't have to sign up to the linked chinese forum to get them.
In exchange I can offer some tips on health and fitness for I have a master in sports sciences. Or, I could offer you a beer?
P.S. sadly xda does not allow me to post links, can link in private... I guess.

Here is how far I have come. I assume you have to download a bunch but at least the company gives you information. I've heard numerous people who buy Chinese phones and are stuck with whatever software they offer.
Yeah there is no chance to write a custom rom because the kernel source is never being given by Mediatek.
However having the ability to backup and play around with the stock firmware is great.

True, I like how it has become a meme that "I'll die before mtk releases their sources".
Any more news on this? Loving my N4 so far, but would like to install TWRP and gapps, but not quite sure how. Have read somewhere that Kingroot has worked on other Qiku/360 phones but haven't got that far myself. Any chance you could send me that link to me too, your googling skills are clearly far superior to my own!
Hi.
I wiped my data from the stock recovery and now i am stuck at boot logo.I don't know how that happened.but i think i have to flash stock firmware which i cant find anywhere.
Qiku forum is unresponsive and there is no other place with info of this rare phone.
Help me out here please
help me please! I.want to unlock my QIKU N4S, but i can not download from chinese forum. thank you a lot！

Hello Alex,
Those links are sadly down.
Do you know any other link to a stock N4 image and scatter file that I could use to factory-reset a pattern-locked N4 ? I got my hands on a discarded one, but the factory reset option in recovery mode requires that cloud account be first deleted, which I can't to because of the pattern lock.
Thanks !
EDIT :
Sorry, I spoke too fast. I gave another try and the links are up, though in chinese. I'll try to get what I can. Thank you !

Is the cell phone on your hand 360n4? This cell phone has two versions of 360n4 and 360n4s
Yes, it a 360N4, not a 360N4S.
What I'm trying to do is follow that howto : http://www.cnroms.com/360-n4-061-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery.html to downgrade it, then factory reset it and install TWRP.
However, I can't read chinese (can't even tell whether it's cantonese or mandarin). Google Translate helps, but most link seem to be broken, and when they're not, the download speed is abysmally slow (several days…).
Is there any way you could help me ? Maybe get the needed files and reupload them somewhere faster ?
