[Q] New Rom

I have just successfully unlocked my bootloader and rooted my AT&T HTC One X. My first time doing this. What I would like is a Jelly Bean Rom to flash and where to find step by step instructions on how to get it up and running. I just cant seem to find it anywhere out there. I'm very new to this and I just want to get this done properly. I did the bootloader unlock and root through TWRP all in one tool kit. I'm assuming I would flash a Rom from the same program? I also would like to have as much a "vanilla" Jelly Bean ROm as possible and one that is stable and fully functional. If anyone can direct me it would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance !!

i'll make it simple
1) install TWRP custom recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
2) download rom and gapps to your computer and transfer it to your phone
3) *make a backup in case anything goes wrong*
4) flash boot.img (extract it from rom file) and use this to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962428
5) reboot into recovery (boot into bootloader, then reboot into recovery)
6) full wipe (cache, davlik, factory, etc)
7) go to install and find the .zip file of the rom and flash it, be patient it may take a while
8) flash gapps
9) reboot system and u'll be done be patient for this one too, first boot always takes a while
hope this helped

Thank You

I really appreciate your response. Don't I have TWRP already from when I unlocked bootloader and rooted? Next question.... what ROM and where do I download it from? Do I download to PC or phone? Sorry for all the questions but I dont want to mess up my phone. Hope you can help me....Thanks again

Download goo.im install TWRP via goo.im or from fastboot. Test to see if get into the recovery. If so you can flash away. Follow instruction from the video that twrp puts out or from the how to thread. I'm running AOKP now for nearly a week and so far so good. Just be sure to start by backing up your phone with twrp or the other pimp apps available. Watch Video or follow directions on twrp thread for your device. Goo. im is darn noon friendly. Here's a screenshot of an example screen

once the bootloader is unlocked, then you are able to install the recovery. you can check if you have it already, but its likely that you dont.
its fine if you download from your phone, but for starters it is much simpler to download from the computer and transfer to the phone
and for what ROM to flash, since you want a jb rom i'd recommend starting with a stable rom, so that would mean you should stay way with roms with the "unofficial, beta, alpha",etc labels. also CM10 is in a pretty unstable state too, so stay away from that
i wouldn't necessarily recommend a jb rom for starters, but it seems to me that you'd like one so i would start with nocturnal'd dirty rom. its stable, smooth, and has some really nice tweaks

You can download ROMs via goo.im on your phone like CM10, AOKP.. just read up a bit and get it right. The other poster's response is right on the money. Follow those links and you are good to go.

No offense to any other devs, but I agree dirty rom is pretty solid and polished with a very active dev. As for installing, download rom and dirty gapps. Also head to play store and download flash image GUI...
1. Open flashgui app. Browse to dirty rom and select. OK it by following instructions and don't worry about the WiFi bit. (Its just a disclaimer). It'll automatically flash just the kernel.
1. Once successful, immediately boot into recovery. Wipe cache, wipe dalvick, factory reset, wipe system. Press back button, hit install. Find your dirty rom. Swipe to flash it. Once successful, immediately flash dirty gapps.
2. Reboot system. (First boot takes a little longer)
3. Swim in the butter!

[Q] P5110 blackhawk's kernel question

Hello everyone
I've got p5110 with new 4.2.2 rom (xeo). I have installed also root and cwm. That wasn't problem. But the main problem was looking for kernel cos i want to overclock cpu on gpu on stock rom So i found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302663 but there are few questions...
Which files I install? I know that zip file in cwm but there is the second one called proprietary-vendor-samsung.zip for JB >= 4.2 (stock 4.2.2, CM 10.2) . I dont understand which file i should install first... :/ I want single boot on stock rom.
Thanks for all !

Just read the OP carefully, it has the instructions, and they are very simple:
1. Boot into the recovery.
2. Flash the kernel (blackhawk-next-kernel-x.y.z-p51xx.zip) -- replace "x.y.z" with the version you need.
3. Immediately after that (do NOT reboot!) flash the proprietary Samsung binaries (proprietary-vendor-samsung.zip).
4. Reboot.
You don't need to worry about all the dual-boot stuff.

I think I understand now there is a main file with kernel and with this zip comes some binary files in catalogue (that's what i saw) i need to install this in cwm after this install this second zip with no re booting. In this second zip are files which are managed these from first zip with kernel? Thats way i need to install these both one by one. Seems legit thank you very much i hope that will work

Confirmed! Best Kernel

Everything works nice but i cannot see sim contacts, but i can import the from sim to phone.
I search the forum for S3 look alike but RemICS V6 gives me a Status 6 error.
Can anyone know any custom rom like S3.I like the way you swipe to the right and you call and swipe to the left to SMS.

Perhaps if you have an older device that is running gingerbread as it is, maybe it is better to use ICS over gingerbread. The triple buffering in jelly bean, although pretty, is quite CPU intensive on an older phone relative to ICS. Or GPU intensive if you decide to run your UI acceleration through the GPU.

Ok. thanks.
But 4.4 is bit heavy for my dad.My dad likes something simple with a big dialer.Any recomedation for a rom?
Thanks.

Helo Kuro.
I know its been a year since you made the question about a Fast Rom (you asked for ICS).
My advice is to stick to Gingerbread Roms. I safely recommend:
- " Full DDLF2 Rom".
- Deodex the Rom
- Flash CF Root
- Remove Bloatware
- Install good Apps only
- Remove the 90% of the Advertising
ICS; Jelly Bean and Kit Kat Roms may brick your device and it requires advanced knowledge when something goes wrong.
Let me know if you want to do this.
Ill be glad to provide files and teach you howto do it properly.

TowerRoot + Autorec + Cyanogen Mod

When I found out that Towel Root can finally root my 4.4.2 LG G2 (D801) from T-Mobile I was very excited to try it, so I went ahead and installed it. It worked of course, very well. so I continued to install Autorec, which restarted into TWRK Recovery. Great!
I wipe Dalvik & Cache and flash the Stable Cyanogen 10.2 rom from 2013, and now it's stuck on boot. Also tried with the latest nightly to same outcome.
What am I missing here?

CM builds use JB kernel and baseband. You'll need to find the right JB baseband for your phone and flash it and then the CM build you want to use.

Baseband is your modem. Install the zip in recovery before installing your rom. Install baseband/modem, full wipe, install rom.

The only problem is, I can't do a full wipe because I have to keep the ZIP files of Cyanogen Mod and Gapps on the device. There is no way to load them on the device when in TWRP.
Also, that post is very confusing. It has a list of roms, and then a download link to a completely different list. How do I know which download correlates with:
D801BK (T-Mobile USA)
D80110C
M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190034

Is it LGD801_10C_RADIO.zip ??

OK I tried again, flashed LGD801_10C_RADIO.zip before the Cyanogen zip, then Gapps and Supersu, restarted and it's doing the same thing. Cyanogen screen loading animation but never booting up.
Like I said before, I CANNOT do a full wipe in TWRP because that will delete all the ZIP files on the device. This device does not have an SD card I can load them on and the USB connection doesn't work (driver not found, this is apparently a known bug).

With TWRP can't in the wipe section you do an advanced wipe and just not select internal storage, thus leaving the ROM on your phone while still doing a full wipe?

TheBestEver said:
Full wipe means the "factory reset" option in TWRP. You're on kitkat bootloader. You need to somehow find a flsshable .zip of the jb bootloader. Modem doesn't matter. I've used JB and KK modem and both work. Maybe you're on stock KK kernel and need to flash the JB kernel? If you're on KK stock and want to jump to CM you should find a flashable .zip of both kernels or .IMG times and try that as well if option 1 doesn't work. Sorry

Installation of superman rom

Hello everyone !
I have some questions about the installaton of superman rom.
I've tried to change the bootloader and the modem but when i tried to install it via Odin it doesn't want to reboot and stay on samsung logo.. That's my only problem because i've successfully installed twrp.
I've heard that my actual rom (stock rom APB2) is encrypted.. how to unencrypt it.. (sorry for my english).
Thanks you !

Did you follow the install instructions on the first page?
They are very clear

Of course, i've followed everything but like i said when i want to install bootloader and modem that allow to install rom, it never boot

Try to flash the stock rom ape9 i think instead of the modem only. Can you still go to twrp even when you got a bootloop? If so. Flash the rom in twrp

Can you give me the link to download the ape9 stock rom please i didn't found it :/
Yes when it booloops i can go to twrp and i've tried to install the rom but when the installation with aroma finished, it bootloop again

I think you might've skip a step in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770
Namely step 9. that should answer you decrypting question.
It does a few minutes for boot up. How long were you in the bootloop??

But the rom is pre-rooted no ? It means that i don't have to root the phone before if i've right understand ?
If i let this 3 hours i think it have bootloop during 3 hours

@p0m-walt
Yes the Rom is prerooted but that was not what I was referring to. You asked how to decrypt the phone so I provided a link to the dm-verity zip file that you need to flash through twrp before installing a Rom. If you missed that step that's probably what's causing you problems.
3 hours in a bootloop is a little excessive. You should figured something was was wrong after 15-20 mins.

Format data

I installed the rom successfuly. I had to install an APE9 stock rom and after that, the installation via twrp was a success, Thanks for your help guys
