I've searched everywhere but I cannot get the answer to whether or not I can flash any ROM on a Windows Phone with a Goldcard. I recently installed a custom ROM using one. But that was just for downgrading the SPL. Later I installed a ROM from RUU.
I want to know if I can simply use any nbh file to flash a ROM?

no you cant. The rom you used for downgrading is an Stock or signed rom NODO?! Thats the reason why it has downgraded your bootloader.
You must find for your device a device specific ROM, and you must have HSPL to flash custom ROMs.

No, it was a stock ROM.
So basically the Gold card method is only for stock ROMs?

yes, goldcard is only for stock ROMs because the *.nbh files are signed and stock.

Hi everyone,
I have a question to ask about flashing ROM
I have Motoroi (Korean XT720), this rom sucks, quite slow and unstable.
I wanna flash another X720 ROM to my motoroi, is it impossible or unlock problem?
I have rooted my motoroi, so the next step is how to unlock or how to flash other Rom and replace of the old ROM.
Thank you so much
your bootloader is locked. isn't it? how will u flash the rom?
How can I know it is locked?
It was rooted.
I can install ROM manager, I can backup my current ROM.
To test the ROM is locked or not? Just flash the backup ROM to the current ROM, right?
I will try it...

I've flashed my Korean XT720 with a Singapore ROM, and it works. Download the ROM from the SBF thread, and RSD Lite 4.6, make sure you install the Motorola USB drivers if you haven't done it already. If RSD finds your phone, you just have to select the .sbf and press "start". Be patient and let it finish.
However, I don't think the Singapore ROM is any better, and I've re-flashed the Korean .41R release again. After booting with the Singapore ROM I could connect fine with SKT, but after I while I lost connection. Don't know what caused it, but everything worked again after flashing back the Korean ROM.
Also, from what I've read flashing another ROM with RSD Lite will not overwrite the country lock. Still haven't tried it myself though.

I don't think anyone has figured out how to unlock the bootloader yet. This only means you can't flash custom ROM:s since they aren't signed. Official ROM:s are signed, so there's no problem flashing them.

Hi, I'm not sure what cooked ROM you are referring to. I'm not aware of any cooked ROM:s for the XT720, only the official ROM:s for other markets.

So has there been more development in unlocking the bootloader, or trying to sign 3rd party ROMs? (If any)

Hey guys,
I'm relatively new to playing with Android roms, and currently have a HTC Sensation.
I've worked out the kernel that I want to use (SebastianFM Overclocked kernal), the rom that I want to use (AndroidRevolta - slimmed down Virtuous Inquisition) but I wondering about the firmware. My phone is current unrooted, running stock ICS. Do I need to upgrade the firmware before I can flash this rom?
Thanks
to install another rom firstly you have to be rooted
secondly if you want to flash a firmware manually you have to be S-OFF
now about the rom you want to use i think as far as i know requires the latest firmware

Yeah, I know that it needs to be rooted first.
I've just seen things that say you need the latest firmware to run ICS, and I wasn't sure if that came with the offical ICS update.

Yes. Firmware is updated with latest ICS update.
If you have latest ICS update then you dont need to flash firmware again.

Is the firmware flash only for phones that don't have an offical ICS update?
So I can just root, install CWM and flash kernal and rom?
Hello? Yes, I'm a noob. I tried to read and understand, but was not able to.
I have bootloader unlocked and rooted 4.4.2 stock in my m8.
I want to install the 4.4.3 roms.
My simple question would be what are the steps to get 4.4.3 radio? installed
wait to make it clear you only want the radio of 4.4.3 or the whole rom ?
but if you want to install the rom you need to have sometype of custom recovery after you installed that (you can do it through rom manager app on google play)
after that choose your rom that you wanted to install and then just flash it using the custom recovery

You didn't mention your carrier, but essentially you want to update to the latest firmware first, then flash a 4.3 ROM. To get to the latest firmware you either take an OTA from your carrier, which requires being completely stock with stock recovery and no changes to system, or flash a firmware file that someone has extracted from the OTA package. The latter is imo easier if you are already on a custom recovery. The development forum for your carrier likely has a post dedicated to updating firmware.

Go to link i posted to get your vzw firmware up to date. An fyi when you said radios you meant firmware an the radios is inside the firmware zip. After you update firmware you can flash 4.4.3 ROMs.

Do I install the zip file using the twrp recovery?
Read the 1st post in the link +Tigerstown posted, it tells you precisely what to do.

There is also a video in op. If you have a SD card I would go with that method but watch video read op an few times an if you still have questions hit me back.
I'm still confused about this. Can we do what the title says? Been searching it for a while and I can't find any answers because probably no one asked this. Thanks
Yes you can. Without root you can flash FTF,s. With root & recovery you can flash sony stock based roms. With unlocked bootloader you can flash custom kernels

Ah thanks. Always thought there would be a conflict when flashing a generic firmware on a carrier phone.
