Hi y'all
Im a noob at this root and custom rom flash stuff but i did do the Casual root from beanstown which did root my device, and installed the team boot recovery my question is where do i get custom roms from and how do i install them and what is clockwork mod and can i use roms that say they require cwm?
First off you didn't mention if you have unlocked the bootloader which what Casual also can do and is required to flash anything through the custom recovery. Secondly CWM is also a custom recovery which you already have one in TWRP. There two sections of custom roms this one Android Development and this one Original Android Development . All rom threads have all the info you need including how to install the rom.
The best advice I would give you is to familiarize yourself with everything in the general and development threads here for your device.. Spend 2 or more weeks reading and learning. Read every thing, if you have questions search the threads for the answers using search function. Once you learn and understand it all it will make sense.

What i read about the casual root was that it unlocks bootloader... Is there a certain way or method i could use to figure out if my bootloader is unlocked im use to the iphone so the android system is all greek to me

Been researching the unlock/rooting process for my TF300T and have a few questions. I have the 4.1.1 bootloader.
So the process appears to be:
unlock
flash recovery (for 4.1.1)
backup
flash custom rom
1) Should I upgrade to 4.2.1 first? Seems like not as I have read the unlock process is sketchy on 4.2.1. But many of the ROM's only work if you have 4.2.1, so is there a process for updating to 4.2.1 AFTER unlocking and installing a recovery?
2) Getting root seems to be a separate step on this tablet that I do not understand very well. The phones that I have rooted have always obtained root through a custom ROM, but the threads I read here seem to refer to getting root through a separate step. Can someone please clarify this for me as well?
3) Finally, this may be a preference thing, but it seems that for 4.2.1 TWRP is the only viable recovery. For 4.1.1 I can choose TWRP or CWM. Is there a reason for choosing one over the other? I have used both on my phones and been happy with both. I would default to TWRP since there seems to be issues with CWM on 4.2.1 unless someone else has a valid reason to consider CWM. May not be an issue depending upon response to #1 above.
Many thanks!
Hi! Noob here, just wanna ask some questions.
Is rooting different with flashing a custom recovery, or do when we root we automatically installs custom recovery to our device?
And if I am rooting my phone using Framaroot, does it install a custom recovery to my device? Thanks

UPDATE: Have been figured this out. So, Rooting doesnt mean installing a custom recovery.
Well im a newb how do i install a custom kernel without losing files cuz i wanna install a rom that was a cm 11 port
Hi,
You flash roms and kernels from a custom recovery, like twrp or CWM. Also, there's usually instructions for flashing in most rom and kernel threads.
I can't direct you anywhere without knowing your device make and model number.
Though I've answered your questions. ?
Good luck!
i finally got my phone rooted and bootloader unlocked. Now i wanted to get started with installing custom roms.
Some questions i have are:
What kernel to use for roms like Glade 2.0 or any other android 5.0+ roms . why can i not use the stock kernel
Which is the fastest ,cleanest available rom for this device.
Is recovery already present in all kernels.
IMPORTANT:If i install an ota from sony after unlocking my phone's bootloader, will it brick my phone permanently..?

Click to expand...

1. Stock kernel is for Jellybean 4.2. Therefore you cannot use it for 5.0.
The roms already have the kernels , you just need something to flash these roms. Go to the development section and download the one click recovery installer app. Use philz touch recovery from that.
2. All these roms have their own advantages and limitations. It would be better if you read the reviews/bug reports in their threads. You'll get a better idea.
3. If you're talking about the above roms, then yes. They already have recoveries.

Hello..
I think ist better for you to install a custom recovery frist
after that you can make a nandroid backup using the custom recovery...this is important..because you will messed up..it will event android guru messed up their device once a whaile..
after you have the nandroid backup..you can flash any custom ROM for your devices..to find a devices please use the search bar at the top..
after you gain enough knowlage to build a custom ROM you can compile it for your devices..but for starter I highly recommend you to use any custom ROM for your device first
