it is very important that the precess of flashing should not be interrupted in any way, the result will be a hardbrick
it is very important to read all sticky and FAQ threads in all forums

Hi! You need to copy paste, but the links in this thread seem to work.
<removed link. I was informed it was a PPC link (pay per click) which is against XDA rules.....my apologies >.
Good luck! ?

In the TRWP installation my phone is not listed . I have a lg f70 d315 from straight talk and can't find any info anywhere for the closest equivalent phone to list for my device in the twrp app. I was told to download this app as this would work, and even got the paid version to get the most out of it for the extra features . Does anyone have any experience with this . I would really like to get this going to see what I can do with the app. My phone is rooted and I've got 4.4.2 KitKat. Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks dano5990.

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.

Are you sure?
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

now go to recovery nd take backup of your stock rom

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.
