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 )

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.

Hi there,
Easiest, quickest and safest way (for a beginner like you ) is to download an official rom and flash it.
You will need to put your device into bootloader to flash, but you should have no problems with this method.
Once its up and running, read the very good guides and understand the procedures before flashing again
Chow.
thanks but i dont have backup and i can get oficial rom from htc.plz help
Sorry i didnt understand you there fully. Did you say you cant get official download or dont want to flash it as you dont have a back up?
Here is the d/l link for official rom from HTC : http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownload.aspx?p_id=112&cat=2&dl_id=12
If you have you tried a hard reset and it did not work then nothing else will put your phone right as far as i can tell from the info you gave me. Your only alternative is flashing an official htc rom.
How did you get to this place, what did you do to ur device?
IN HTC SUPPORT I RESIVE THAT(Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device)I AM FROM ENGLAND.HARD RESET NOT WORKING ITS SAYS (FORMAT FAILED)HOW CAN I GET PHONE WORK AGAIN.SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
I DID BACKUP BUT I LOSTETSORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
Ok read this, it has link to official wwe rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458965&highlight=official+rom
ps : just a word of advice, if you had typed official rom in the pharos forum you would have found this quite quickly
Cheers.
If you run into anymore problems after reading the guides, let us know.. we might be able to help with the SPL stuff.
Hi XDA-ers.
I am obviously new here. I do not know anything about ROM's flashing nor upgrading to newer ROM's. I got my SL few weeks ago from a friend. Bought it from her a very low price due to certain need. ANyway, please help me in the step by step procedure, what to download and what to specifically do first to upgrade, downgrade or whichever you may call it.
About my phone:
Model Number: GT-i9003
Firmware Version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9003JXKA4
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.JPKB1
I apprciate for your fast response on what the exact things to do. By the way I am from the Philippines, my friend told me this works before with a Globe Telecom sim card and now it doesn't so I cant use my Globe Sim.
Please, please help.
Thanks.
I guess you need to do stuff in below order
1) connect to Kies and get updated to latest firmware
2) root it ... search forum for help on rooting
3) select a custom ROM if you want to else
3) check out deodexing/custom kernels/mods available for your final firmware
What do you really want? To root? Use custom firmware?
Here's my 1st route after getting my phone.
1. This is the general rom that we use in this section download XXKPE and XXKPQ here first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
flash XXKPE first then XXKPQ heres the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
then root it using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056 download bagaria.tar there flash it via odin click PDA then browse that.
THERE! you can now install custom firmwares. Choose any from the development section download a rom save it in sd card then do recovery mode (Volume up+power+home) then install zip then pik the .zip.
Thanks so much for all your help. Im reading from stage 1 now. Will post here if I needed more help from you guys.

You're on locked bootloader 4.3, there is no other Rom you could flash except for 4.3 stock rom for now. You need to follow the direction on the link, try Odin with PIT file (also in the link, pick the right PIT for your phone either 16gb or 32 gb), if not working try Verizon recover ultility. Make sure you use stock 4.3 image ONLY!!!

Hi,
I'm almost in the same place as You are.
I was not using my SGS3 for some time. I hard bricked it and kept it aside. I got it Jtag repaired and I installed the 4.0.4 stock ROM Initially. Then when I downloaded Kies, it gave me an option to download the latest patch and I accepted it. oohhh crap..... I know. I don't know it then.
But now, I have a 4.3 stock ROM. Can You please tell me what file did You download???
Because in this flashing or updating process, I also have downloaded almost 50 GB of different files. So, mostly I will have the file, which You had used for getting back to 4.1.2
I want to try other ROMs. This stock ROM does not let me use the Hotspot feature and that is the only feature that I use. I don't need any other features. HOTSPOT IS THE ONLY FEATURE I USE AND IT IS THE ONLY ONE, THAT I'M NOT USING.
thanks for the post really help me out spent that last 6 hours trying to get my phone working after i had tried to down grade to 4.1.2

There should be a untouched 4.3 Rom under the development section. Flash that with safestral then flash the stock tether zip.
Hello !
I posted yesterday about upgrading to lollipop on an unlocked bootloader.
I thought i got it, but need additional help.
1. Im using Xperifirm to find 23.1.A.1.28, but i can only find versions that has diffrent brand names. I have Halebop carrier, and I can only find Telenor and 3. What differences is there based on branding?
Can you just use the Central Europe one without problem or what is that ?
2. What do R2C mean after the version name. 23.1.A.1.28/R2C ?
3. Do i need to manually root it, if i cant find any prerooted versions, and if so how do I do it? Can i preroot it myself before flashing?
4. Custom recovery: Do you flash it on the same time as the android firmware? or do you do it separately? do I need it first to be able to fastboot?
Sorry for the noob questions, im new to flashing. Have done it before, but then i knew exactly what i was doing from the beginning, now im om a used phone, and have no idea what has been done. I know it has unlocked bootloader, but cant get Super Su to work to root.
PLEASE HELP ME !
BTW I have looked for answers in the forums, but I cant get the whole picture out of it... And some of the guides were outdated etc.
(I have Flashtool 0.9.18.2 installed)
Discalimer: I am quite new at this but here what's i understand:
1. For same device, i.e. D6653 you can sue any ROM, difference customizations just include special apps from that country and carrier. I am using customized HK ROM and debloated it.
2. I don't really know but different regions have different codes like that so I think it just for different regions.
3. Yes, first thing you want to do it, search giefroot, that's the tool you root with, use a FTF to flash back to 23.0.A.2.93 and root and install "nut dual recovery". You need to flash back because that's the only one you can root on Z3. After, this never flash FTF unless it's completely unavoidable for some reason. Always flash zips through recovery. Search "PRF Creator", it will help you make prereooted firmware zips.
4. I answered this in 3.
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.
