[Completed] From stock Android to ROM - XDA Assist

Hi everyone, as first: thank you for making android as rich as you are making it .
I've a GT-I9070 with stock android , i can boot in to recovery mode holding down volup/home/power and i have the option to install zip files and wipe data so i wanted to install one of theese roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578599 OR http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/orig-development/rom-mahdi-rom-2-7-t2869985
Questions:
Is as simple as downloading the zip packages, putting them in to the SD Card and install them with the recovery mode?
Some users can't install the roms becouse of the wrong recovery mode(?), in many post is written to install an app from play store and use it to replace boot.img, will be the phone still booting after a faild attempt of flashing a custom rom?
Thanks very much for reading and sorry for the english, i'm Italian and i'm still studying :laugh:

Hi,
First thing, is are you rooted? You need a custom recovery to flash a ROM.

Thank you very much! I was wandering if i still need to root it and install a custom recovery even if my recovery allows me to wipe cache/partitions and to install zip files
If someone confirm that i'll give cyanogen 4.4 a shot with my phone since it's full of customization by samsung that i don't like and cyanogen if full of customization that i DO like :laugh:
EDIT: In this post someone use odin to flash the image and then uses stock recovery to clean up(if needed), can i follow the same procedure?
Thanks for the link and the answere!

You definitely need a custom recovery to flash a rom. And the rom will be rooted anyway. If you want to unroot after, that's your choice. Read up on that, or ask in Q&A section link I gave you.
As far as flashing a rom with Odin... Never heard of that, only stock firmware. Yes, you also flash custom recovery with Odin. Not roms tho.
Anything else, please use the Q&A section for help. ?

Hi, Thanks for the response, I have rooted it with the help of UnlockRoot Pro (using a PC) and flashed recovery (found in Galaxy S Duos S7562 Droidiser Rooting Kit) with Odin through a pc, that's it i have done, now pls advice me if I only flash a Kernel with Odin is this enough for overclocking with SetCPU application or do I need to flash a custom ROM aswell, in both ways kindly advice me appropriate Kernel and if needed ROm for me. I hope you understand my problem I want to make my device faster anyway.. or suggest any other way so that I can meet my objective.
Thanks !

HY,installing kernells is a good way of making your device faster,and more reliable,but if you are rooted,you can overclock your device directly if th processor allows that,just head over to paly store and download rom toolbox,there you will find anything you ever wanted ,as for the roms thery are good options as well,you can see what roms are available for your device from an app called goo manager.I hope that I helped you.

[Completed] [Q] PLEASE HELP G900H Samsung galaxy s5 China

Hi Sirs/Maams
I have a samsung galaxy s5 G900H made in vietnam, but i think its china. Im trying to flash roms on my phone and I already rooted my phone. However, whenever I am in recovery mode, (pressing down buttong+power+center button) it takes me to android system recovery and it is not showing "Zip file on /sdcard". How can I access that? If theres something to download pleas attach links, and if you guys also have a link to where I can find Custom Roms for my unit please post links aswell. Please.. Please I really need your help. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
What you are missing is a Custom Recovery. Those are crucial in order to flash custom Roms.

Thank you so much Sir, I also have one problem, I am trying to install CWM recovery via MTKDroid tools... But I cant seem to find my "boot.img" file on my phone, recovery or my sdcard. I might accidentally deleted it or something.. im not quite sure. but can you please help me recover or get a new boot.img. I also saw some boot.img on one site that belongs to G900F, but mine is G900H will it be compatible with my MT6572 phone. Im also trying to access via odin but im having problems with connecting my usb port to it, keeps connecting and disconnecting, thats why i am using MTKdoidtool to install CWM.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Looks like you need to flash back to stock, one way or another.
There isn't much a community for your your device, but I found this thread which has your fellow users:
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > My Infinix Hot Note bricked while updating it
If they don't have access to a stock image, maybe one can make a flashable zip for you.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
If there is no custom recovery (like CWM or TWRP) for this device (and it looks like there is none), then the chance of ROM's would be shot out the window. Sorry.
If you are curious about either, can ask in this thread:
> General discussion > Questions and Answers > [Q] Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70F --Root??
Hope this helps.

Greetings and welcome to xda. I think this is the correct custom recovery for your device

all the instructions are there, if you are unsure of anything just ask in the thread and the experts will help you. Once you have twrp on your device installing and backing up roms is a breeze all though there does not seem to be a great deal of development for your device
Good Luck
