Hi, I'm relatively a noob to all this but I have some knowledge. I've been trying to find a proper guide to rooting my S8. I haven't found something that works yet, it's a Canadian version SM-G950W. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would a great help.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

This is the post that started it all for me. You can only get root with a nougat rom for reasons I don't really understand. Try the PartCyborg rom or DreamRom after you get safestrap from this method.

Sorry in advance if this should be in Q&A (mod please move if inappropriate) but my question has to do with development so....
Anyway.. was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any guides or helpful threads that would help teach me how to port a rom. I am wanting to start to learn how to make custom ROMS and figured this would be a good place to start as the heavy lifting has already been done by the real devs...
Specifically looking to port lets say a nexus S rom for use with the NS4g for now.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
I was wondering the same thing. It seems like so much good is coming from the Nexus S section, that I would like to help bring it to the 4g side.

Yes, I know. Me too as well, but there's no guides on porting or I just can't find any. If anyone knows any guides on porting, point us fellows in that direction. thanks!
Man... kinda sux... no one can help at all?
First, this belongs in Q & A, hence no answer , second, it should be pretty easy, nandroid, switch out rild, and rils, make correct edits to build prop, and a kernel for ns4g and you should be good to go.
Are there any guides out there that perhaps detail this process a little bit, I would like to start porting some ns roms over to ns4g. I followed the steps provided by the previous post, and got most everything booting for the new miui rom with ICS however the wifi still doesn't work and it will not allow me to flash a different kernel as afterwards it refuses to boot. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I want to install a custom ROM on my rooted Epic Touch. I've rooted three phones but never messed with ROM's. All of the guides I see seem to presume a lot of knowledge, and most of them are quite old. Is there an up-to-date and reasonably simple guide for how to flash ROM's, or if I have to ask does that mean I shouldn't be messing around here at all?
Thank you,
RJ

Hello all I am on a sm-n900v Galaxy Note 3 32gb on Stock Android 4.4.2 with towelroot, and I came across this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-pictures2sd-v1-0-6-makes-camera-t2408880 and I do have some questions my first one is does anyone have an knowledge if this is working on 4.4.2 and do I need to install the rom version for this to work along with the xposed framework or what. Any guidance I can be given would be great about this thank you.
I think it might work, no harm in trying it out and seeing?
Also I think you will get more meaningful replies if you just post your question on that same thread
I will give that a try thank you.
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.
Good luck !

Thanks again!

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!
Cheers,
Luca

Happy new year !
Not being one that still tinkers with my phone these days. I have no idea where to go on the forums. So i could use some help in the right direction. Please.
I'm having issues with my phone, getting nowhere with verizon. So i'm looking to flash my phone with the latest stock rom. And google isn't helping. Preferably with the latest update i just received and is installing at this very moment. So i don't know what marshmallow version it is yet.
I"m looking for a post somewhere on the internet. That has the stock rom and instructions to install it. I don't want to try a hard reset with the issues i'm having. I want to do a full wipe and reload. I'm not looking for root or anything either. I just want the genuine stock rom.
Help would be appreciated. THANK YOU.
