Hey guys, I just got my galaxy nexus a few weeks ago and I really want to flash the new jelly bean os on my phone.
I live in Canada and i'm currently locked to a Canadian carrier, fido(owned by Rogers) .
Before I begin I just have a few questions.
1.) if i decide to flash this new os, will I need to worry about my phone being locked to certain carriers? Or does it automatically unlock that as well?
2.) I did a nandroid backup, but if i format data using cwm. Will that backup still be here for me to restore from?
3.) do all roms have root access, or is it only certain ones?
Thanks

Greetings,
I'm new to Android from Windows Phone and recently purchased a refurbed Nexus S (i9020A), and it came installed with 2.3.6 (GRK39F). It seems to me that the device is far enough back, software-wise, that it won't be able to receibe the 4.1 update OTA. As for my questions, I know that Google makes the factory ROMs available (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images), but I'm wondering about two things:
1) Is it possible to flash the latest officially available ROM (4.1.2) without first updating to ICS?
2) Could someone point me to a guide for installing one of these factory ROMs for a Nexus S?
Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

Hey all, Im new here and have my first Android Phone
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note II SGH-I317M from Bell but had it unlocked and am using Koodo now!
I rooted the phone last nite using Odin 307.zip & CF-Auto-Root-xxxxx-etc.zip
All went well
Question are there any better mods I can use on this phone, can any one suggest some good ones along with instructions on changing the ROM and restoring my setting, and apps afterwords?
A friend of mine is using a ROM that makes the phone act like a tablet, I would like the same for my phone if available, I think it is called Paranoid android
I found a ROM I want to use Called Jedi-X 6.1.2, but cannot figure out how to apply this to my phone, can anyone please give me detailed instructions,
Thanks

Root the device with custom rom before you can do anything on that... There is lot of risky process involved with that...

As of right now i dont think paranoid has a release for the bell galaxy note 2 but im sure they will in time but if i were you i would try out AOKP first...i've found their roms rather amusing but as a pro racecar drive im biased towards performance...im not really a pro racer :good:
Hey everyone! Less than 3 weeks ago I had my Verizon Galaxy S3 flashed to Pageplus remotely for $40. I did my research and from what I could tell running custom roms should work if they are for the SCH-i535. I rooted, put TWRP recovery on and flashed nightlies of cm11. Sure enough nothing worked so I flashed my nandroid backup of stock 4.1.2 and still nothing works. I currently cannot afford another flash and I am in dier need of my phone this weekend. Is there anyone that can please help me?
Btw I checked in about phone and my phone number changed so the flash has to be broken. After hours of searching and concluding I was safe to flash I am very disappointed, but I really need my phone and would ve just fine on oem 4.1.2.
Thanks!
UPDATE! Did it myself

Okay, so my Android 4.3 AT&T Galaxy S4 is rooted (through Kingo) and the only reason I did it in the first place was to flash CyanogenMod or some stock Android variant. Now I'm being told I can't install a custom recovery on my phone for two reasons. 1) AT&T locked the bootloader 2) I'm running Android 4.3.
Now, I'm considering unrooting my phone but even that's unclear and confusing, and it's hard to find people on these forums who are willing to help with these relatively simple (to the non-newbs, of course) things.
Can I flash a custom recovery? Can I run CyanogenMod or any good ROM? If no, will I be able to, ever? If no, how do I unroot? Would it be wise to just wait for the next update from Samsung or AT&T and install it so I automatically unroot?
Much appreciated.

im not confirm with it but i read theres a tool called "loki" with it you can unlock your bootloader and run custom firmware. but the rom must provisioned with loki.
search for it and read you in.
hope i could help you a little.
