Hello, I have SIII i9300 international and I would like to speed up my phone. So I figured it could be done with flashing some new ROM onto it, because I´ve been having stock ROM for 3 years on it and I did not mind at all. I have no idea about anything concerning this, except that I need a ROM, some flashing software and a bit of luck so I won't brick my phone. Thanks for the pointing in right direction.
How do I perform backup of ROM?

I have a galaxy note 2 (SPRINT)
My details are
SPH-L900 GALAXY NOTE 2 (SPRINT)
Android version 4.3.1
cyanogenmod version 10.2-20131214 snapshot
kernal version 3.0.64-CMg9d16c8a
I am simply trying to learn where to go from here. I tried getting a new rom from room manager premium but it always says download error. I was trying to get 10.2 rc2 stable. But none of the other work either. I think I might need a new kernal but am lost on which one is right for me. Any help is appreciated. So basically I'll take the Eli5
Approach and go from there. How to get the right roms for me, kernels etc.? Thanks guys
Hi!
Easy, here's the forum section for your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint
Now you need to go through the development section, and original development section. Read about the ROMs and kernels in the opening posts. See what appeals to you...and flash away!
Do a nandroid backup in recovery first...in case you need to restore.
And read the flashing instructions very carefully.
Good luck!! ?
Good morning All!
This is my first post here, hopefully I post in the right place. I have an old TPT, perfect device for my kids, all it need to do is run Zoodles. Was running fine with CM9, then one day, a couple of months back, it got stock on the Lenovo boot splash. Was getting ready to move so it made it in a box.
Trying to fix it now. Nut looks like I am in need of some advice and direction.
This is what I have done so far.
Boot into recovery kernel and tried to restore from my backup I had done before putting CM9 on it. Tried factory reset, None of which works.
The closest I got is with the restore of my backup, then when It rebooted, Ut got past the first Lenovo boot splash, we see Nvidia splash, then Animated Lenovo splash start, then device turns off and then back on.
Within the recovery kernel when I look at the logs, there is complaints about /data being in read-only mode during restore. I cannot unmount or format /data.
I think at this stage my best chance is to restore to stock with NVFlash. I am a little uncomfortable doing this without some advice first.
I am trying to find the model details of the device, but needless to say that being my kids tablet, all stickers are gone. I do have the device open but I am unable to track a; model number inside.
Could anyone assist? I am a professional IT, but My android knowledge is limited.
Thank you.
Hi!
Unfortunately without knowing the exact model, you have no idea what is safe to flash.
Because you can't get into into the system...no help there. Most devices have model numbers inside by the battery.
I'd Google any numbers you do find inside, until one leads you to your device. But you need to be 1000% certain before flashing firmware....if you flash the wrong firmware, chances are the device will hard brick and that will be the end of it.
Not sure what we can do to help really. You can ask in the general Q&A section, but be careful what advice you take. No one can guess what device you have, and if anyone suggests firmware based on a guess....don't flash it. Maybe someone can help you determine without a doubt what model it is tho...

Yes, its a Lenovo ThinkPad tablet 1 (TPT)
If its Lenovo think pad, then you need to ask here....and specifically state the model number you found. You probably need to return it to stock, so you need to find out how to do that, and where to find the firmware for your exact model. Don't use anything not specifically for your model. The guys in the Lenovo section know those devices best, hopefully they can help.

Thank you for your assistance I am not in the good section to get help.
Have a good weekend.
Wondering if anyone can direct me, I need instructions (and download links), I have an old Galaxy Note 2 (i317) on stock (but rooted) 4.4.2. I'm giving it to my mother who is on T-Mobile and I'd like to switch the ROM over to a stock T-Mobile one. I've tried searching the forums and my results have been mediocre. I've put on custom ROMS before, installed CWM, stuff like that, but it's been a while and I'm a little rusty so guided instructions would be great. Any guidance to the right threads (I'm sure they exist) would be really appreciated.

You want to flash a T-Mobile ROM on your AT&T Notes 2 ... ?!
Please check the [REF] Your One-Stop Shop for the Note II (Kernels, Roms, Guides, Modems, Etc.) thread.
There you will find (nearly) all available ROMS for your device.
If you have further questions about your device, please ask in the AT&T Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Thank you very much, just what I was looking for.

Hi all,
I have an Australian Galaxy Note 4 with N910GDTU1BOC5 firmware, rooted, TWRP recovery, Touchwiz, Lollipop 5.01.
I have been searching for a way to get Xposed Framework running for months but no luck. I really want to stick with Touchwiz and I don't want to consider CWM or other roms (I know CWM is great because I tried it, but it's just not for me).
For the life of me I can't find a deodexed Touchwiz rom I can download and the idea of creating my own deodexed rom is over my head.
I have recently read that some Australian users have successfully flashed Indian roms because the hardware is the same, but I still cannot find a deodexed rom to download for this firmware.
I know I must be doing something wrong or searching for the wrong stuff. Can someone please point me in the right direction or share a link?
I'm sure other Aussie Note 4 users must have the same problems. If I could find a solution I'd be happy to share or host a rom for others to download.
Thanks in advance for any positive feedback
Hi there,
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device here:
[NOOB FRIENDLY] Ask the question!
Good luck
Thank you,
I'll give that a shot.
Hello ? I'm frustrated so much, I've been trying to download custom roms for my mobile for almost three days now with no luck. I honselsty don't fully get why they're so important after a root, I mean if didn't install them would I be risking bricking my phone in the future? I'm a kind of a noob at this, so any advice or pointers would be so helpful and greatly appreciated ? Thanks.
Also I've seen all the threads on here concerning HTC desire 728 and custom roms, tried the methods there but they didn't work. I know starting a new thread about an old issue is a kind of a drag but I hoped someone would see this and answer me.

Greetings and welcome to assist. If you are happy with just root then staying as you are is perfectly safe and there is no need to flash a custom rom. Most people flash a custom rom just to get the latest updates or a couple of new features.
If you have the dual sim version then most of the custom roms on xda will not work for your variant as it is different hardware. I did find this thread that I think has a custom rom for your variant
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire/general/urgent-help-htc-desire-728-malfunction-t3388534
Please always make certain that you only flash a custom rom that is compatible with your variant or you may brick your phone
Good Luck
