[Q] Changing roms (gt540) help

ok i got an LG gt540 awhile ago and rooted it, and installed openswift 4.4 (though i don't remember how)
now that i've learned a little more about android, roms, etc, i want to change the rom to cm7 so:
1. can anyone show/tell me how?
2. do i have to wipe my phone?
3. if i make a nandroid back up and restore it, would that restore openswift?
4. can i just use a bootable sd card like the Nook color?
5. and wth does "flashing" mean? XP
thanks in advance

I'm not help you too much... i only say you, that if you try to install previous version (example: i have 2.3.5 and i try to install 2.1) the phone could be bricked... so, can you restore your phone how its in default system? (i'm not an expert, you should to wait to an expert opinion jajaja)
and, one question.... how you install 4.4? WTF!!!!
sorry for my answer without your help

Here is the section for GT540. Everything usefull can be found there.

Samsung Galaxy Y Pro (2.3.6) - Rooting

I have found a dutch website where they talked about rooting the B5510 phone.
I followed the instructions and was able to root my 2.3.6 phone.
Here's the link: http://translate.google.com/transla...y-pro-b5510/28124-root-toegang-succesvol.html

broken link mate

Just checked and it worked for me .. What do you get ?

The root is possible by a software (and unroot too), but the question is, can we have a clockworkmod recovery to start the modding ?

Could any download the files from megaupload?
I can not root my B5510 2.3.6....

Confirmed. This method worked on my new Samsung Pro Y Duos.

Can you pls post the files you used. I have the Y Pro Duos too and I need to root it. Thanks.

GT-B5510
Great post.
I own a GT-B5510 and I recently instaled a wrong kernel resulting in soft bricking it.
Is there a Kernel or custom Kernel for my specific device??'
please Help!!

First off, thanks for this guide!
Secondly (a tad off topic), I have a GT-B5510 on 2.3.6 , problem is, that since I bought the phone, theres an issue with the SD card unmounting itself for no reason at all. I searched a bit and found that this seems to be a universal problem?
Anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks.

GT-B5510
I also have GT-B5510 and I quiet like the phone. Never had problems with the sd card though
I recently bricked it by installing a kernel for a similar device :s
my only hope is finding a custom or stock Kernel for GT-B5510 and flash it.
Need help!

I'm taking it you need a dev for that?
Anyway I can help? (as a non dev lol)
In my case, won't be long before I physicaly brick my phone. Too many annoying issues.
Might just send it back to Samsung, seeing as it's 2months old.

I'd suggest that if nobody is able to help you here, and your phone is insured, "accidentally" drop it in water or something. Because Samsung might not help you when they see you've been tinkering with it.
Best of luck

[Completed] OpTmuS DE v2.2

Hello there,
I have a LG G2 configured with OpTmuS DE v2.2. I lost my root and need to reinstall it, but all the root batch files I found can't root my phone. Is there a specific root file I can run to regain access to my root? If yes, where can I get it from? Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
FM

Hi,
Is this the rom you are using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590234
If so, that is the thread you should be asking for help in, as the members there know it best. It says the rom is roote, soso I don't see why you lost root.
Ask in that thread and I'm sure it'll get sorted.
Good luck!
---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------
If you did something that resulted in losing root... Simply flashing the rom again should get you back on track.

Thank you. Thread closed.

NEWCOMER here . Please help..

Hello everybody ,
Since I'm new in here, I'm just starting this thread here in this General Section because I just want to say a hello to all and I want to ask some questions also.
I just bought a new LYF Flame 7 phone with Lollipop(v 5.1) and this is my first Android phone ever.That means I'm new to both Android and Android forums like this. Now I want to learn about it. Not just the basic stuff, because I want to be a developer in this field. So this basic budget phone is perfect for learning. Before I'm buying this phone I was using Nokia C6 Symbian phone which I bought about 3 or 4 years ago and I utilized it in every way(except programming) . I'm always a tech lover but I was unable to stay updated with it because of financial problems I had (and still have). Luckily, now I got an Android phone (even though its basic model) and its time to learn about it. So friends please direct me to helpful threads here. From basics of Android to intermediate to advanced to etc etc etc ......... I wish to learn about rooting,ROM backing-up,customization,changing ROM,app development and so on, and you know....
I'm using computers since 6th grade and I'm very friendly with Windows but not Linux. I don't know much about Linux,only basic things,I mean very basics and I heard Android is based on Linux core I think I have to learn about it too. So please help me about it too.
With a few days usage I learned something about it but i also had some issues.
Issue No 1: I can't customize menu and I asked some of my friends who already using Android for a long time about it. they told me the Android I have is basic Google release and it doesn't support customization. I have to install launchers.
No. 2: I Can't properly tether with Windows 8.1 PRO 32 bit.when I thether Windows freezes and Internet is not fast enough. (Its Jio 4G LTE)
No.3: I can't uninstall many useless apps that consumes RAM.
AND MORE ISSUES WILL BE COMING AS I USE IT MORE.
PS :-
"" I tried to express my wish in a language other than my my mother tongue, so i don't know how many of you understood about what I mean , but honestly I tried to share it with you,even though we don't know each other. But what I believe is if somebody want to express something,and their wish is good enough, then language is not a barrier. And I think you understood me. So please help me. And once again I repeat,I'm a newbie in Android.
If anybody need more detail,I can explain again .""
Once again HELLO to all and thanks to all.

I'm a little afraid to do with Kingroot because one of my friend's Xperia was bricked after he tried to root with that app.
So are you very sure that Kingroot is safe?
And did you find a way to backup your current ROM ? , Because I didn't yet.

Hello Vikrant . Welcome to XDA.
I think you are also a newbie like me.
And yeah, we need to solve the heating problem.
But what I think is first we need to root our device and uninstall all of that useless factory Google apps and some other apps.
And , if still there is problem, then we may have to work on kernel.
But in order to work with kernel , we must have deep knowledge about Android and Linux's core.
And of course we'll learn( in fact,we are already learning).
We'll also help each other.
One question, have you backedup your ROM ? And did you Root your device?
Asking because I haven't done both yet and I'm currently planning to do. But there are some little confusions.

Easy

I think now I can Root. Because my phone now have another rom . I got this new rom from official Jio Care . I went there because I bricked my device when tried to flash a recovery found from the internet. I tried this flashing because the 'factory test mode' was gone after I tried to root with king root .it was showing a 'no command' error when I am trying to go to 'factory test mode' I did that flashing only to restore that. But it ended in a bricked device. So I had to go there and they helped me. I also asked them for stock rom but they didn't give me. I didn't check king root yet with this rom.
