Hey guys and gals so i have a ZTE Z730 t-mobile i successfully rooted the phone and it also installed CWM v6.0.5. Here's my issue other than im a complete newbie, i downloaded rom MGR and it was not compatible with that version of CWM. Im guessing that there arent any custom roms out for this yet so my question is can i use a different recovery so i can flash custom roms if so what and where can i find these like i said im just starting out and want to learn all that is possible about flashing roms and such for android not sure where to start i really dont want to use the same root method because of the fact that it automatically puts the cwm v6.0.5.0 on it and i cant do anything with it or can i ? well i hope someone can reach out and point me in the rite direction it would be greatly appreciated and thank you ahead of time be well billy (a desperate newbie).
Just a side note that rooted z730 i had i tried to uninstall the cwm and failed miserably so that phone lies in the newbie android user graveyard i actually just purchased another today.:fingers-crossed:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately if there are no ROMs available for your device no amount of changing recovery will be able to fix that. You can only flash ROMs that were developed for your device, and if none of those actually exist, you're fresh out of luck. But, if you have root you can still customise your stock ROM a bit by using Xposed Framework:
Xposed - General info, versions & changelog
And you'll find an entire section of XDA dedicated to compatible Xposed Framework modules:
Xposed Framework Modules
So I'd suggest you do some looking around there and start customising your device.
Good luck!
Very helpful a huge thank you

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but this forum is just so huge that I don't really know where to start.
So I bought a Moto G this year, rooted it and got xposed installer on it etc etc..this was a few months ago.
It's also been a long time since I've really been into getting more out of my phone. My question now is, is xposed still the
"big thing" to have on your rooted phone or is there something new/better out there now? I don't need anything super sophisticated,
just something that has a few options like changing your interface etc.. So yeah..Am I still good with Xposed or is there anything new
and if there is, how do I "uninstall" xposed and install this new software/app/..
Thank you!
Kind regards!
Hi,
Usually the best options are custom roms with their extra customization options on some, or stock and xposed. You don't see anything on customizing stock rooted other than xposed.
You can ask for other opinions here, or use this section for any future questions or issues,

Good luck!

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I found a ROM that I would like to install, but I don't really know how to get started? And if it makes a difference that I already have xposed on my phone?
Just read the rom flashing instructions usually in post one.... Or first couple. Or else you need to ask in the thread I linked. ?

Ok, thank you alot for your help, I know these are some newbie question. Just one last one, I'm looking for the offical Cyogenmod, I've used the search function, but I only seem to find unofficial ROM versions of it?

You can ask in the unofficial thread. But usually if there is no official version, it's cause CM doesn't officially support the device. But a Dev created one for your device anyway. ?
Dear all,
I have tried in the past to backup and flash roms on some devices using Windows with some success. Now I have completely switched to Linux and have not been able to find a guide that would allow me to get started.
I have a Lenovo mobile (A806) that comes with good hardware but a crappy version of Android 4.4.2 that makes the user experience very unpleasant.
I am trying to figure out how to root my device, backup the rom currently on my device, find a custom rom (possibly based on Android 5),
flash it, and eventually troubleshooting common problems one might have. It might as well be that there are many other things I need to know, so please just let me know: I am here to learn.
I have no idea where to start to do this from Linux, so I would really appreciate if you folks could point me to the right tools/resources,
and help me getting started.
Thanks a lot in advance to all of you

Unfortunately, there is not much about your device on xda.
You can check this thread: Lenovo Golden Warrior A8 (A806) root.
There are some users which have managed to root this device.
Maybe they can help.

Hi Luca,
here is a thread about flashing ROMs on LINUX: Flash Rom under Linux.
And here another one: step 1 and 3 under linux ?
... but they are originally for another devices.
Here is a better guide: [ROM][DEV][REF] Heimdall Firmware Packages S4 LTE+ I9506 ... as you can see, it's for Samsung devices.
But it's a good read anyway.
Many thanks
I hope I can flash something soon!

Luca

Hello everyone,
I'm using "Alcatel One Touch POP C5 5036D". The problem is, this phone is so slow that it takes about 30+-seconds to open up any app or function. i tried some custom Roms but all have some bugs or i don't like them. i searched many times but couldn't find an easy way to install stock rom but an Official Tool that installs stock firmware from their server & it takes so long. Even couldn't find a single rom that's fast enough & works everything perfectly. As i have mentioned earlier returning to Stock ROM is such a pain.
Now i'm asking for help to all you Developers, please can you make it easier for this phone users to install stock firmware like we download the Firmware package & install it with SP Flash Tool or something like this? Please it's my heartiest request to you all if you can, make this thing simple or make some ROM that really works fine for this phone users & oblige us.

Hello everyone! o/
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM9005, Android 5.0 Lollipop - non rooted. So, my question is - in what order should I root the device and install custom recovery or ROMs? I am aware of the basics regarding root and custom recovery, but not sure about what ROMs are or do. Therefore, I would like to sincerely apologize if I am wasting your time or anything but most of the posts I find tends to get technical very fast so understanding them becomes tough. So, a basic introduction to the 3 terms would be helpful.
Next - if you would kindly direct me to the most efficient and/or most useful methods to root-ing the device (like - should I use SuperSU or Kingroot or Xposed?) and installing custom recovery (like CWM or TWRP), that would be also helpful. Also, I believe that back-ups can be made using custom recovery in case of any problems - any info (basics) on that would be appreciated.
Last little bit - I did use superSU on my last phone but it kept saying something about BusyBox, if someone could give me a simplified explanation, I would be very grateful. ^_^
Please and thank you! :3

This is sounding like self promotion, however, I think you should flash my debloated ROM. It is a lot more simple than manually debloating it yourself.

Virgin Mobile J700P
Hello! First, thank you all for everything you do here--this is an extremely helpful community of people.
I have a Galaxy J700P with Virgin Mobile. Running J700PVPU1APH4 software. I've rooted it and had no success with creating a second partition on the SD card to use Link2SD for apps. I've tried formatting on PC via Minitool Partition Wizard, on the phone using Aparted, and also tried with Apps2SD. Link2SD simply refuses to recognize the 2nd partition ("Mount script error"). It has been suggested to me to try Cyanogenmod or a custom Lollipop (to use adoptable storage).
In short, I'd like to flash a ROM that will allow me to use my SD card for app storage. Being able to continue using Google Play Store apps is also preferred. Are there any suggestions for software that is the most stable for this phone that will allow me to use SD card for app storage? Let me know if you need more info. Thank you for reading!

It;s not self promotion at all man cause i used yours first lol, its was very nicely done until i needed some of those apps for basic functionality. I needed the music and video player and i found that the signal was shotty with your rom compared to stock. There were some others that i cant remember right now. So, I then dirty flashed the stock rom over your rom and added custom recovery and superuser. I gained the tethering feature and the update prl and services which i need in my area sometimes to get better coverage. I know a lot of people dont mind this as they want the minimal. I know Im a noob with this stuff as i came from the lg 740 and this is a whole diff game. Thank you though for your efforts in making the rom i have yet to look on how to thank people cause im still new here. Sorry for the one long paragraph by the way

Hi!
I have a problem on a J7 2016. Google services eats the battery, being accountable for up to 60% of battery use on every cycle.. I know it is a pretty common problem on lots of phones, but not being able to root / install custom rom (not my phone), any advice on solving it? - besides stopping google account sync.
I have tried uninstalling updates, with no success.
Regards.
EDIT: I guess I should tell I am on stock MM, last update. Haven't tried to do a HR - full reinstall, hoping there will be a better option

About the play services thing, you can't do anything except flashing a custom ROM without gapps (if you wanna uninstall play services). About the problem you mentioned that you cannot root or install custom ROM, what exactly is the issue? Please exaggerate the problem. Good luck!

Would ROMS built for the J700 F/H/M be compatible with the J700T? There is not many ROMS built for the J700T, while there is a bunch for the J700 F/H/M.
The only difference I see in the phones are the different carriers so you would think that they would be compatible with each other.
Thanks

I don't think so. I had my old Galaxy J-5 fried due to flashing ROM not meant for my device. I would suggest not doing it if it is your primary device. But go ahead if you're a development nut and wanna try it anyways. If you try it and it works, update your post here so others can know.

I have many questions with this bootloader. I'm new to this things. Sorry. Btw I have the J700F J7(2015) model.
1. Is there any way to know if my phone is in locked bootloader or unlocked?
2. I'm planning to install the Pixel Experience rom and I've read that i must unlock the bootloader first. I know that I must be from stock rom. Then I will install the TWRP, then root, then proceed to flashing the rom. In this process, where will I unlock the bootloader? Do I need it to be unlocked before I install the TWRP?
3. I know that I can google it, but is there an easiest way to unlock the bootloader?
Sorry, I have many questions.
Hi. I have your exact same model ?
To unlock the bootloader, enable developer options - in settings, about device, software info. Tap build number 7 times.
Now go back to settings, developer options - enable OEM Unlock. Also enable USB Debugging.
Done.
Are on marshmallow? If yes, make sure SuperSu is version 2.78 or newer.
Tip - make sure to backup your fon first as soon as you install TWRP. BEFORE rooting.
Keep 2 copies of this backup.
To install the Pixel rom you must already be on stock marshmallow
