Hi guys,
I got a spare European S6 and I want to load a custom ROM.
I used to flash ROM on Nexus S and workflow was simple and easy (unlocked BL -> flash TWRP -> flash ROM).
So, I am not a noob to flashing but new to Samsung devices.
I'd like to have an up-to-date help on steps to follow... I heard about Samsung devices have kind of security to bypass...
Hello,
To install any custom ROM on Samsung devices, you will need to do:
- Install custom boot
- ROOT (phone unlock to engineer mode)
I highly recommend TWRP and Magisk.

Hi there I Have Nexus One running 2.3.4 and I want to ROOT it so I can install some ROMs. It doesn't have unlocked bootloader and it's just regular nexus running stock OS.
I'am new to rooting and would like step by step instructions because I like my nexy and don't want to brick it.
I would like someone to help me unlock bootloader and root the phone.
Thank You
My Present situation:
-Nexus One
-GB 2.3.4 (stock,new phone, Canada Koodo)
-locked Bootloader
I want:
-root access only for a few apps
-receive OTA updates when they are available
Don't want:
-custom rom
-custom anything
-Downgrade(but will consider if extremely necessary or is the only option)

Root and OTA doesn't go well together. Plus, you don't need to root your phone to apply ROMs.
You can deny su (root) access for apps if you want.
How to root:
Unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock)
Install custom recovery (fastboot flash recovery <recovery name>.img)
Install su.zip (install zip from sdcard)

Hello all,
I consider to install a custum roms on my TF700T, running Android 4.2.1, Build number JOP40D.ww_epad-10.6.1.14.10-2013081
I already know that I have to take the following steps:
1. Unlock by using the ASUS unlock tool
2. Root
3. Install TWRP recovery
4. Select a Custom ROM
After a lot of googling and searching on this forum I am still not sure how to root the tablet with this build number. Can someone help me out? Any other tips are welcome as well of course!
Thanks in advance!

You currently can't root 10.6.1.14.10 without a custom recovery. But you can install TWRP via fastboot on an unlocked unrooted tablet, then simply install a rooted custom ROM from TWRP.
Howdy y'all. I bricked my old G2 D800, I don't want a repeat with the new one. I tried doing all the research I could. I have a new D800, 10d, 4.4.2. I want CM11, tried reading the threads on that and custom recovery. I just need a little help to make sure I have the order of operations down pat before I crash another. I've rooted and flashed ROMs before, but not with th locked boot loader and security AT&T has.
Please just correct me if I'm wrong. Through the threads I have read I believe this is what I am to do.
1.) Flash my 4.4.2 back to 4.2.2 using LG FT
2.) Root using IO23
3.) Download Flashify & install TWRP 2.7.7 with Loki
4.) Follow steps to install CM 10.2
5.) Follow steps to install CM 11
Of course make backup once 4.2.2 plus root and TWRP is achieved before trying CM. I just want CM like I've had on previous phones. Thanks in advance.
All is good back to being ROM junkie. Anyone who does read and wishes to flash custom roms and get custom recovery on KK. Obtain root via IOroot25, then use AutoRec Recovery Installer for TWRP recovery.
Ho, I wanted to install on my galaxy wonder (gt-1185) CM12 (with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cyanogenmod-12-0-20141230-unofficial-t2988830). I installed CMW as the guide says but my phone isn't rooted. Can I continue to install CM12 without root? Id no, how i root my phone with the new recovery (CMW)
IN CWM, typically there is an Option to Root the Device. Either way, you can proceed with Installing CM as the Guide indicates.
If you do want to Root, please review [GUIDE] Rooting, ClockworkMod and Custom ROMs...an A to Z for beginners
Hello to the Forum
I am new on the Forum i do not know exactly how it works Please excuse me
I have a SAMSUNG 8500 with Bada
I would like to suppress Bada and replace it with ANDROID Kitkat 4.4;4
I Tried the procedure listed in the Topic ROM][WIP][NAND] Omni 4.4 - 11.12.2014
i could Flash Bootfiles Startkernel and FOTA with Multiloader
i do not understand the following and I do not want to have my Phone Bricked ! - -
Do I have to proceed the Android recovery immediately after that step Before loading the SDCard ?
ROM means the Android File ? Where can I get this ROM ?
What Does it mean > choose zip with ROM ?
Do you have to set the Phone in - DOWN LOAD MODE to make this procedure - vol low -+ camera + power ?
Thank you in advance for your Help - Georges
I'm not sure about the procedure you followed but did you -
1. Flash a custom recovery.?
2. Wipe data and cache.?
A ROM is the OS (operating system like KitKat lollipop and so on) you need a custom recovery like clockwork mod to flash a ROM. You even need to unlock the boot loader on some phones. It's best if you ask in your device forum. Or such for the stuff I mentioned. I'll list them for you again.
1. Unlocking the boot loader (your phone may not need it too, searching for it over us good)
2. Rooting
3. Custom recovery
4.a ROM (you need a custom ROM to install right.? xD search for cyanogenmod)
MAKE SURE TO PROPERLY BACKUP YOUR STOCK ROM BEFORE FLASHING OTHER ROMS.
Happy flashing and leave a thanks
