Hello is it possible to flash image before rooting device...in my case is - i have minix x5 mini android tv and want to change rom...question is do i need to root first and then flash the image, or its possible to flash image without rooting?
Thanks everybody
What type of recovery does it have?
You don't NEED to root a device to install custom ROMs..
You can change to a custom recovery like TWRP/CWM (not even sure if it would work on the MiniX x5)
With a custom recovery you can then install custom ROMs.

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.
I wanted to know if it is possible to change the version of android
By cyanogenmod or custom rom
If you could, could you give me a tip
How to do or tutorial something that helps?
First what is your device ? I think everybody have to start somewhere, so I have to know what is your device and see what is available for it.
But similar process for most of the cases ; root your device (try one click root like king root app or if it doesn't work try other methods for your device) then flash a custom recovery (TWRP) , into it you would be able to install (flash) custom Roms , and when it's done, just download the custom ROM , the Gapps according to the custom ROM Android version and your device architecture and then boot to recovery, make a Nandroid backup (backup everything in TWRP) then wipe system,data,cache,and delavik cache , flash the ROM, flash the Gapps and reboot.
But all the process (rooting, custom recovery etc) depends of your device
Is the galaxy lite 3 wanted to put the version
4.4.2 or +
Only that it does not exist nowhere, this custom or cyanogenmod
That's why I came here.
Way of having and making one or modifying it
hei there, i just bought a new mi4c. and it has been a week.
So i want to share my step on installing custom rom right away from stock.
the step is :
1. Install kingiroot
2. Root your phone using kingiroot
3. Install flashify from playstore
4. grant root for flashify and flash twrp custom recovery to mi4c
5. install reboot recovery from playstore and use the app to enter recovery mode
6. Flash custom recovery from your desired ROM. (in my case, i install custom recovery from xiaomi.eu
7. Install your ROM through the custom recovery
Done.
I've already installed Custom Rom 8.2.1.0 miui.eu Everything work well excepet edge tap (edge control).
do i miss something on my flashing step?
or do i need some later ROM as baseband before installing my desired custom ROM?
For anyone following this, if you want to flash a not miui based custom rom you have to unlock the bootloader with the official tool, otherwise you will brick the device.
If you brick the device flash the oldest firmware you can find(I already had this problem before).
I used Kingo to root my Mi4c and it worked well.
Does not work anymore if you run with Android 7.0
Note: my AV detected Kingo Link as trojan...
I have the Samsung model number gt-p7500R. It's gotten very very slow and I can't update past android 4.0.4. I can't even get most apps because of the Android version. How can I update to a newer android version and maybe help the speed a bit?
Find a Custom Recovery ( like CWM and /or TWRP ) and find a Custom Rom, both suitable to the phone.
Once both found, flash the Custom Recovery and if successful then from within the Custom Recovery flash the Custom ROM.

I'm pretty new and don't know how to do what you suggested. Is there a forum post with step by step instructions?

That's fine but how do I upgrade step by step as I have no idea how to do this. And the galaxy view is a tablet.
The steps you're told. Typically you do a Google search ...
BTW: I know device is a tablet.
Ok, I've searched google for custom roms but it is for a TM670. Will that still work?
