Hey guys, brand new member here, first post, I know I just broke the cardinal rule of the forum bu not filling out my info first, I'll go do all that jazz now.
Right, I bought a HTC Desire 500 which (unbeknownst to me) had been ****ed with, it has Team win Recovery Project installed, but no OS. One night the phone randomly shut off and decided it didn't have an OS anymore, and in my pathetic attempt to repair it I made it worse. It now has nothing at all apart from the TWRP installed and I haven't a clue how to install a new OS, can anyone help?

Hello there,
Regarding this thread title, at first i wanted to post a reply in this thread
[rom] m4 stx updated 1/30/2014, but hey... i am new here (a complete Noob) and i am not permitted to post to development-related forums, yet.
Yesterday I've flashed My HTC One Mini with M4 STX Rom by cmvienneau (Hey, thanks for the rom cmvienneau) and thank god it was success, my phone running smooth, only one little problem so far, if i connect by USB-OTG cable the phone is behave like if i connect it to PC with usb cable, there is a notice about snyc manager, and charging animation (LoL i can charge my phone using USB-OTG Cable).
Was i doing something wrong while flashing my phone and does anybody have the same problem like mine?
Edit:
It seems my problem is exactly like in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591509. So this is duplicate,
Update:
After some reading here and there, apparently this is a 4.3 issue.
Anybody, please confirm this.
Thanks.
this is completely normal.lol youre all good
Hi
I recently bought a vibe x2 from a guy in aus who flashes them with a rom so they can run andriod. Long story short my brother updated the lenovo ui so its back to CU operating system (chinese) the guys overseas for the momeng and tried to walk me through reinstalling the rom he uses but i cannot get it to work. Im going to send it to him when he gets back.but during my trawling for lenovo drivers i came across this
]https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/phones/vibe-series/vibe-x2/downloads/DS101342
According to the guy its a complete ROW rom, it has everything youd need to use it but its beyond his skill level.
Ive looked around here a bit but have never seen domeone use this. Does anyone know how to??
(I am a complete noob by the way when it comes to this sort of thing, hardware i can do a little not software/programming, so layman terms appreciated )

Hi to everyone, I'm just new here and I am not a developer or anything, I only wanted to ask for some help to anyone out there who also facing the same problem as mine and got solved if ever.. Recently I just got this smartphone from cherry mobile (Cherry Mobile Life 2.0) a chip phone which I can say atleast good at daily usage, when i have decided to root it because i have read so many blog telling that rooting your smartphone brings out the full capacity and customization to your phone, luckily i find some way to root my device using some specific software called "KingRoot" but when i decided to go for installing and using custom rom (if ever theres some custom rom for this device) i found nothing, ive searched the web over and over and yet I cant find anything, hope you could help me guys.. sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance for the help..
Still porting.
I'm still working to port CWM on that phone. Since I'm also working as a CE. By the way, I think I was the first one to post the rooting for that phone in Symbianize and Pinoyden #leejinhee #keivinlee
Hello guys, freshman on XDA forums here, been a long time lurker for phone modding. I have a problem
I have a Lenovo A536 obtained from the Philippines' Globe telecommunications service thanks to their promo. I got fed up with its KitKat UI that doesn't feel like Android at all.
I obtained a late 2015 version of CyanogenMod 12.1 designed for the A536, had my phone flashed with TWRP, wiped all the data, installed the ROM and wiped the dalvik cache. It started up well, and I already got good first impressions of the UI, except that my Globe Prepaid SIM card is not being detected at all. I tested on other phones from my parents and they all detect it. I've done almost a day's worth of research and led to the conclusion that the firmware for my Mediatek MT6582M has probably been wiped.
I could not search online for any flashable modem/radio firmware, yet alone the firmware itself. Any kind soul out there care to create a flashable modem firmware for me so I can start communicating again on my phone, or lead me to a site that contains a database of flashable MT6582M firmwares?
Thanks in advance,
Kensta
P.S. Saw a 2016 build by ~cyandrew. Will try that one and see. Will keep you updated.
UPDATE: Even on his port (thanks, I still like it), there's no bueno and SIM is still not being detected.

Bump. Went way back in the lower parts of the forums.
I am assuming no one here has a Lenovo A536 non-modded?
Hi,
Try posting your question here:

The experts there may be able to help.
Good luck!
You can lock this thread. By the time you replied, I managed to fix this problem by using Root Explorer to head into root/data, deleting the 'nvram' folder and performing a normal reboot. Thanks anyways.
So recently I found an old Orange Roya in my drawer and thought that it's not that bad of a phone and maybe I could revived with a custom ROM as now it's running Kitkat (4.4.4). Now I've never flashed a custom ROM on my phone and I don't know much about that kind of stuff but I saw a video by Budget Builds where he managed to get Android 10 on a Samsung S2 so I thought as my phone has similar specs maybe a could do the same. So I searched far and wide and actually found an XDA thread about a custom ROM for my phone but than there are no instructions whatsoever in there, only a couple of dead links (Here it is, if that helps with anything: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tel-pop2-ot-5042x-root-recovery-roms.3224875/ ). Besides that there was nothing at all in terms of any kind of ROM for this phone not only for android 10 but for any android it just seems that it's such a niche device that no one cares for it. So is that it? Is it just stuck running an ancient version of android basically acting as e-waste or is there anything I can do still to make it useful?
(Sorry for my English and lack of knowledge in terms of any of this but I really hope that something can be done to revive that phone.)
