Hi there.
I very rarely need to post on forums to ask for help but in this instance i would like a little help before i proceed.
I have unlocked bootloader, and rooted my phone but im stuck on the next two steps i would like to proceed with.
Before hitting me with the old "use the search button" i have been through many pages and i am genuinly stuck. So please genuine help only.
The two steps i would like help with are the following.
1: Installing a custom rom. How is this method performed? Do i download rom and put it on memory card and install from Clockwork or do i need to do a bit more reading and install from fastboot?
2: I would like to install a modded kernal as well. Is this done through Clockwork or fastboot and does it require installing in a specific order i.e. rom first kernal second.
All help would be appreciated.
The available guides out there are not bad (and very appreciated), but i feel leave a few holes that I have ask for help for in the above for the modest rom flasher, Hopefully the answers to these questions could help others with simalar need.
Kind regards
Alex.

You are in the wrong forum section. To answer you questions:
1. Download rom and put it on memory card and install from Clockwork
2. Fastboot
No specific order, but I usually install the ROM first and then the kernel.

Lol if you searched you would've seen the stickies in the forum you posted your question in, which is the wrong forum!
1. Backup, wipe, flash ROM.
2. Reboot to fastboot then flash it using one of the many guides in this forum if you really searched.
Please post in the appropriate forums, the Dev section is NOT for asking questions or for support.

I need very basic help with what appears to be quite simple to everyone else. For example, I was told I needed to flash a different modem and I have no idea how to do that. I tried searching the forums with "flash modem" and got hundreds of threads containing those words but not any telling me how to do it. I Googled and Binged but got nowhere. I hate asking other members for help all the time; but, without tutorials, that's all I can do.
Try this one out this really helped me. Flash the Captivate.
Here is all you will ever need:

Thanks for both of your replies; but, I guess I'm just dumb. Because, as I read through the information available on both links, I could see instructions on how to flash a new ROM, which I have done with help from another member, but I don't see how to flash just a modem, or kernel, to an existing ROM on the phone. Certainly you don't have to follow the same procedure to flash a modem as you do an entire ROM. Or, do you?

its simple. if you know how to get into clockworkmod recovery, you install zip from sd, point to the modem.zip file that you downloaded, and run it. that part is the same as flashing a rom, but you dont have to wipe/odin/or anything like that.
and it takes literally seconds to flash it
Thank you to each of you for your help.
These are the best tutorials that I have found

Hi everybody, first post on this forum!
I'm sitting here with a GT-I7100 and was reading alot about the ARHD 9.2 ROM, which I'd like to try. However, I feel like I've entered a giant jungle with only a little nail scissor as my only tool. I've read countless of threads regarding bricking and only god knows what. I'm still convinced (bricking aside) I'd like to install a new ROM, and the ARHD 9.2 install instructions (found here) are extremely easy to follow. I am now wondering if it really is this easy, or if every single ROM developer on this forum expects you to have some software already installed on the phone for a ROM flash to succeed?
I'm at the moment running the stock software as configured by Samsung out of the box. Are there any steps I have to take before following the (oh so easy) install instructions found in the ARHD 9.2 thread? If so, where can I read more about them - and are there any guides with simple step-by-step instructions which explanes each and every step? The amount of terms I've found on these forums are overwhelming, and I therefore feel the need for a thread like this.
EDIT:
After even more reserach, I've managed to convert all of the above to a few steps, which I hope are correct.
1) ROOT using CF-Auto-Root (thread instructions here)
2) Install ClockwokMod ROM Manager and then let it flash Clockwork Mod Recovery by itself)
3) Backup current ROM using CWM and then continue to follow the instructions found in the ARHD 9.2 thread.
4) Install Triangle Away to reset the flash number.
5) Have fun!
Is it this "simple" or are there steps I've missed, still? Please tell me, since i'm not sure about this one, really.
Also, do you still need to root the phone using step 1) or will CWM do it for you aswell?
NEW EDIT:
Found this thread which explains all required steps in detail.
This thread can therefore be closed, thanks.

I have successfully rooted two devices using xda forums. Just make sure you read on past the tutorials. Most of the time you will find valuable information on what errors other users encountered and so on. Once you start flashing rom's it's hard to stop.
Recently purchased a tablet and looking for rooting and mod, thanks
No neee to worry... simply keep backup everytime...
i have been looking for the repair/backup of my root on my Cherry Mobile Blaze 2.0 cause i accidentally full unrooted it using SuperSU application, and then i found this site. and i feel so lucky that it has the most normal/simple tutorial on how to root my device again . and when i download the file about 400++mb, it only says Unknown Network Error, and i tried it for about 4 times. the picture is attached on this thread.
Note : my network is all well, honestly i just downloaded other file from google drive too, and everything is perfect.. so i thnk its not the net.
This is what i want to download .. (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2746658) <-- remove parenthesis
PLEASE HELP ME... I NEED TO DOWNLOAD IT AND ROOT MY PHONE AGAIN..
FOLLOW-UP QUESTION
is it possible to reroot my phone from this procedure.
Well even if you've lost root on your current ROM, that doesn't matter as long as you have a custom recovery like CWM. If you know how then just flash that ROM, but being as you have no device specific forum you should post your question in the thread you linked me.
If you didn't understand any of that, then follow this guide HERE. Good luck.
the one you link to me is for CM Flame 2.0, my unit is Blaze 2.0, is that the same ?
im sorry for being noob but i dont know have any familiarity on the term ur giving me . you mean if i have my CWM on my Recovery mode .. i can just click that and then *bang* im rooted again with my system being reset ?
Thanks for your time and effort on helping me ! i'll expect a reply. TY

The zip is just a generic superSU update zip. It sounds like you have a recovery in which to flash the superSU zip anyway, so yes you may just be able to follow that guide. It won't break anything if it doesn't work though. If you need any further help then you should post in the Android Q&A section. Good luck
sir, i just found out that i have what u called CWM in recovery mode. does it help.

I can't give you technical help (read the 2 stickies), although I'll answer you once and say yes it helps: I highly recommend you read up on stuff abour custom recoveries, kernels, etc. To gain better understanding. I've given you a guide to follow HERE and directed you to the correct place to post further questions HERE. If you are still in doubt despite reading carefully through the first link then you should post in the second link where there are many more helpful members who may even have experience with your exact device.
Hi, I'm quite new to rooting and stuff like that but I watched a very helpful video on how to root a HTC One Mini (M4) as I have one myself. Everything was clear and I followed the steps precisely but when I had to save my SuperSu to my phone (via the pc) I couldn't find it back after I entered my recovery (TWRP). On all the videos about rooting they could go to recovery, click on install, scroll down and then they could click on the zip but I just can't find it.
Is there anyone who kwnows where the zip could be or is there anyone who knows what the problem is?
Thank you!
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
For more replies or questions you must register an account on XDA forums.
Stand by
Good luck
hi,
my phone is practically useless with this latest update. the issues are well documented, so i won't go into that. what i would like to do is get my phone back to mob30m, or anything else that will fix the volume issues. google is taking forever to get this fixed.
my problem is, i am a complete novice, when doing these kinds of things. i have been looking around at forum threads to try to get the skinny, but a lot of this is contradictory. my specific aim is to do the following.
unlock bootloader
root
install twrp (or similar)
download the appropriate file to get back to mob30m.
and install that.
i need to know what is the most current (tried) methods of doing these steps.
any help would be greatly appreciated. i'm assuming there might be multiple links i have to look at to get these results, but just perusing these fora is baffling me.
thanks
All you need to do is download the appropriate stock rom and flash it to your phone using fastboot commands.
You'll need an unlocked bootloader which will cause a full wipe of your data on the phone.
You can also use this if you have a PC - http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
It can unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery, flash a ROM, root and other technical stuff.
