So, I'm installing an custom rom for the 1st time.
So, my phone and other details;
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Android 2.3.5 Stock
SIM-Locked.
Wanting this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315448
I know I lose the warranty, but i dont really care as there is like 2-3 months left.
I have some big questions, as im a noob!
1) Can being SIM-Locked cause any problems?
2) I read, that you don't have to root to install it.
3) How do I install it? I know something about root/Custom ROM's, but no idea about kernels/recoverys. Full tutorial if possible!
You need to install CWM recovery because You can flash new roms through it.. And for install CWM. You must have a rooted device. So Do this before installing any rom. Make sure You install rom of ur own device.

Hello, I was looking into getting a custom rom on my rooted device but the more I searched on how to do it the more I was confused. Here are some of my questions:
1) what is bootloader and do you need to have it unlocked to get a custom ROM?
2) what is a custom recovery and do you need it to get a custom ROM?
3) what is flashing?
Hi! Noob here, just wanna ask some questions.
Is rooting different with flashing a custom recovery, or do when we root we automatically installs custom recovery to our device?
And if I am rooting my phone using Framaroot, does it install a custom recovery to my device? Thanks

UPDATE: Have been figured this out. So, Rooting doesnt mean installing a custom recovery.
Hi
I just got this phone but can't find a lot of information about it, a few people have asked about rooting it and I think iRoot should work but haven't tried it yet. I also want to install a custom recovery and do a backup before I install a stock rom from this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/htc-mtk-cpu-flash-files-flashtool-t3114271) can I use the steps here : http://droidchina.com/guides/how-to-install-cwm-to-any-mtk-device to install CWM.
Thanks

Greetings and welcome to assist. Trying to install a custom recovery or custom rom not designed for your phone is likely to brick it so I wouldn't recommend it. There is no custom recovery for your device on xda but here is an excellent guide if you would like to try yourself
