Hi all!
I just bought my P780 from china retailer. Turns out the stock ROM doesn't support GSM lower than 2100 MHz. I've rooted my phone, so I'd like to know is the any CWM 6 recovery and how to flash it to the phone?
And is there any link to download another country's ROM so I can use my SIM?
Thanks and best regards.
CWM means clockworkmod recovery.
it does not need to be flashed
to get it,
1)get cwm zip file for your device.(use google)
2)then put that file in root directory of your sdcard
3) boot your phone in recovery mode and select cwm zip file.
then it would start cwm recovery

i think there is no rom for making your sim card usable
please hit THANKS....
I managed to install CWM English using MobileUncle. Is there any ROM I can install via CWM, because the ones n needrom seems to be very difficult.
yes there are many roms available
can u tell me how to use the flashtool from the beginning since it is my first time
it is recommended to take a nandroid backup before this flashing
ok if you need to flash rom from cwm than follow steps :
1) boot in recovery mode
2) wipe data
3) select apply update from sdcard and then select CWM file.
4) after CWM opens select your rom zip file
5) now flashing of new rom will start.
6) wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode only.
7) now reboot your phone.....
rom file is a zip file which can be obtained by searching on google.
***download rom file which is only applicable for your phone*
othervise your phone will brick***

You need to do much for flashing a custom rom..
You need to do a full wipe before flashing a rom not just data.
and you don't need to wipe data/factory reset since flashing a Custom rom will automatically wipe all data.
Also on some phones mostly HTC phones you need to Flash Boot.img manually when S-ON.
oh ok......

Ok I have a Sony Live With Walkman.I have unlocked the bootloader,rooted my phone and installed and have tried many custom roms on my phone.Every thing works fine but its such a long proceess for me to flash a rom.Every custom rom comes with its own boot.img file i.e. every rom has its own and different kernel.If I flash different kernel and install a different rom it results into a bootloop.It means if I use rom manger to flash a rom it results into bootloop as the kernel installed in it is of current running rom.I want to have a permanent kernel and I cant install kernels using rom manager as its not available for my phone .Steps I use to flash a rom
First I copy the gapps and custom rom zip folder onto sd card
Extract boot.img file from the custom rom on my pc
Open Flashtool
Open recovery my phone and wipe and format data,wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Shut the phone
Connect my phone in fastboot mode by pressin volume buttons
Flastool displays that my device is sucessfully connected in fastboot mode
Click thunder sign in flashtool
Select fastboot mode
Select kernel to flash
Select the boot.img file that I previously extracted from the custom rom file
The kernel is flashed
Then i go into recovery
Again Wipe and format data,Wipe Cache,Wipe Dalvik Cache,.
Install Zip from sd card
Install custom rom zip file and gapps zip file
Installation is done.Then I reboot the phone

Hello guys, I'm new to this and I have absolutely no knowledge about these things. I have a (Un-Rooted) Qmobile A500 and I want to flash it and get a custom ROM. I have made backup (Simple one with copy and pasting all files in storage) Can someone help me and post step by step on what to do before I can install the custom ROM?

After FLASHING Given a white screen
try to boot in download mode and flash twrp 2.5.0.0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/w3i0u88ut26d2op/twrp-build-3-06052013-trebon.zip
does I it support for flashing any ROM???
Hi,
I am running PAC-ROM | All-in-One-ROM [4.3 / 4.2.2 ] on my 5110 with Philz Touch 5.03.7 (Base version 6.0.3.2) but want to install the following Rom:
[P51xx][5.x] CyanogenMod (CM12 / CM 12.1).
But I believe I need to update my Recovery to install a LP rom.
I have gone through the [GT-P51XX] TWRP | PhilZ Touch | CWM Thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548476) to try to understand what I need to do but I am still unsure of exactly what I need to do.
I've located the files for the new recovery from (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=25711) but I am unsure whether I flash the md5 file or the Tar file (or both)? Also, can I flash this new recovery from the Recovery I have currently got.
Any help with this would be appreciated as I haven't messed about with ROMs for over a year so I am a bit (a lot) rusty at the moment.
Thanks in advance
TWRP recovery is better and more intuitive.
Grab the latest zip file, not tar.md5 file, from here :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=25708
and flash it directly from your PhilZ recovery.
Cool, cheers. Do I need to factory reset device before flashing that?
Thanks again
Just follow the OP instructions :
Installation
First time installing CyanogenMod to your Galaxy Tab 2, or coming from another ROM:
Read the official wiki
Copy GApps and CM-Rom ZIPs to your internal SDCard
Boot into Recovery
wipe data factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvic cache
format system
Flash CM-Rom ZIP from internal SDCard
Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard
Reboot
Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!

I was ok with the rom instructions, I couldn't find any instructions about flashing the recovery.
I just went for it so all sorted now, thanks for help.
