(about root in all posts they say first i have to downgrade sw and root and upgrade to 11.0.A.5.5 and root again,but i didint downgrade software and i got unlocked bootloader - dont now how... via unlockroot )
Did backup with rom menager clockwork mode, fastboot and recovery boot tested and working, superuser working...
So, i want to flash for the first time my android with Cyanogen 10.1 if its posible without bricking it
Questions are :
1. Does my phone meet requirements for Cyanogen 10.1 ? ( thera are tutorials but didnt finde 'Miro' just s,t,z,dual...cant get whats main for custom rooms : android ver. kernel, buld numbe etc...)
2. Will my phone get network (brand) lock after flahing it ? ( After debranding in store they told me if i update/modde my phone it'll get brand lock again )
3. Will i lose my language pkg or not and if i do can i import it ? ( I would like to keep Serbian lang. even im only usinig English )

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) You cannot flash CM10.1 on your device, only CM10. We will NOT get an official port of the ROM from the FXP team.
2) I do not know, once it is unlocked to any network you shouldn't have a lock put in place again. However I am unsure of this.
3) You shouldn't lose any language support on your device as many language packs are installed with the base of the ROM as most are built from stock firmware upwards.
I would give more detailed instructions but I need to go within the next 5 mins so I can't. I will edit my post tomorrow if nobody beats me to it.

possible unlocked 920v and storage problem

hello guys so i got s6 a few mouths ago didnt know if it was 920f or 920t,v,etc..
i had 920f before and it died from some water dmg anyways i wanted to root this one and use custom roms as before.
weird thing was in settings- about device it was 920f , it wasnt rooted i think android 6 was on it and some weird things like instagram from 2016 proly or smth. some chinese named folder empty btw and so on.. so i got my s8 port i used before got the twrp, root, went to download mode but it failed a couple of times its rly pain in the ass to get into download mode on this phone couse most of the times it will boot in bootloader after a 20 tries u get in download mode and there it says its 920v , in recovery , stock android recovery it says its 920f so i had no idea what do to , i went for v version i had no idea it was that bad with varizon apps and all those things. didnt even know v stands for varzion so i flashed android 7 with odin it didnt work, flashed android 6 it worked , phone boots up , but i had a varizon logo after samsung's logo , in that moment i knew i fu**** up. thers like 30 varizon apps i said ok nevermind lets get android 7 now, (btw i didnt rly care atm for custom rom i just wanted android 7, couse on the android 6 that was on the phone when i got it, update didnt work, u click check for updates, nothing happens.) so i go to check for update its says thers no updates for my device. ok lets try samsung kies now, it worked i got android 7 and all the varizon apps i didnt want, but i dont care i got it. So i still dont have a clue is this 920v or 920f i guess its 920v and i cant do anything with this phone , locked bootloader or whatever the problem is with v versions, i dont rly know. anyways the phone had 64 gigs of internal storage , now i have 16 only , i guess partiotions are fu**** up and i guess the only way to fix it is twrp and we on the 920v cant install twrp , so what do i do to get the rest of my memory back ? and how did this phone had android 6 without varizona apps and 920f on it if anyone knows ? and im sorry for long text , im rly mad this device i rly want to trow it from the 9 floor , and sry about bad eng , about that i cant do anything atm

Looking for a compatible firmware

Hi all
i have a problem, i have an old China phone Crescent CUBE 2 (MT6572 NAND ANDROID 4.4.2). Before flashing it i make Backup from Desktop then i flashed it with TECNO Firmware (ik i dont know anything about phones) then my phone bootloader broke, it dont start (just white screen). a few weeks after i format my pc and i forgotten to save my backup and yesterday i tried to download alot of firmware wich is MT6572 NAND ANDROID 4.4.2 too (Because i dont find my Model firmware in internet) But when i flash with SP-TOOL, flash progress and finnish without problem and the phone still no-start.
so i ask you : can other firmware wich have the same MT work to my phone? or can a custom rom work on it?
i ask you please help me to solve this problem...
A Custom ROM ( as this is case with Stock ROM, too ) must be tailored to device's hardware specs in order to properly work.
