Hi there Q & A Team,
I've been reading up on rooting my shiny new LG Optimus One P500h this entire weekend and came across this thread that was generously put together by the_ERROR. One issue- as helpful as the thread was all of the links in the OP appear to be dead! Any alternatives for finding the 2.2 firmware that I need to get busy?
i followed this step by step guide and rooted successfully. https://lgp500.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/how-to-downgrade-your-firmware-lg-optimus-one-p500/

Hi, first go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305945. That's the rooting and upgrade guide for your phone. Also read the New Member's Guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282679. The links in the Guide are awesome. Then you'll want to go to the Android Development forum for your particular phone, at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617.
First you will need to go to the link Which TheContinental posted it has avarious range of how to upgrade root and load custom roms onto your x10 mini. And you will need to go to the x10 part of the forum for more info
Hi there. I'm getting into programming and hardware modding/hacking and have decided to use my phone as my first breadboard. After perusing XDA (and other sites, and youtube) for several days I am a bit hesitant before moving forward. I understand most of the terminology I've learned, however the tutorials for actually using the concepts seem to be all over the place, or, there appears to be several thousand ways of doing the same thing.
I am asking for confirmation that I have found the correct order of operations and tutorials for what I hope to do.
I would like to install Cyanogen 10.2 on my Verizon Galaxy S3;
Model: SCH-I535(.10)
Version: 4.1.2
***As a new user I am unable to post outside links. I have posted the google search that will bring you to the video in question as the first result.***
First, Root: "wccftech root-install-cwm-recovery-on-galaxy-s3-sch-i535-android-411-412"
Second, Upgrade to 4.2.2?: Do I need to do this? Or will Cyanogen 10.2 jump me right from 4.1.2 to 4.3. If needed, I will find the proper tutorial.
Third, Flash Cyanogen 10.2: "How To Install CyanogenMod 10.2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on the Galaxy S3!" (Making sure I use the verizon .zip) Specifically in this tutorial: He's using the Team Win Recovery Project. Many other tutorials do not use this. Should it be used? Is this a preference thing? Is it safer or simpler to use a different program or no program at all?
Fourth: Enjoy.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Although this will be my second CM install on a phone, last time it was easier by following a howto guide for doing so.
This time I'm having no luck finding a n00b proof step-by-step guide on how to install CM11 on my Samsung Exhibit II.
The phone is stock (besides being unlocked)
and has nothing on it.

Android 5.0 Lollipop?
I'm not understanding which distribution is the correct one to use for my phone. Was hoping for a fairly vanilla Android flavor.

Firstly I apologise if this question has been posted and answered before, I can't locate it on these forums.
I have an Australian release Motorola Xoom Wifi MZ604 with a stock ROM version 4.0.4 which has started running slowly and I want to update it to the latest Android. This is my first crack at messing around with Android operating systems, but I have plenty of experience with Windows. I found many tutorials on this forum about rooting and installing custom roms but most of these posts are from around 2012 and most of the important file links such as Xoom One Click and Xoom Universal Root no longer exist. If anyone is still using Xoom can you please repost the tools required and let me know which Custom ROM works best so I dont have to reinvent the wheel. Any step by step you can point me in the direction of would also be helpful. Thanks :good:
After a lot of XDA and Google searching I got the files and info needed and now have a Motorola Xoom MZ604 Wifi running KitKat 4.4.4.
