Best Flashable Rom
So I have been only having succession with roms that are flashable through fastboot and wondering what custom roms support that. The reason only fastboot works is that if i use any other rom I have no service, but if I flash it with fastboot it works, so I was wondering whats the best custom rom for my phone.
I have come from a nexus and an htc drvice. When I flash a rom for the g3...does it also flash the kernel with it? Does it flash firmware as well? With htc devices....there were specific firmwares that were compatible with only aosp roms and some with the manufacture skin.
Just need to know if the rom zip flashes everything to make the rom work correctly...or if there are additional steps.
thanks
i'm pretty new to flashing roms so sorry if this is a stupid question but i couldn't find the answers somewhere else
I'm trying to install blissmallow (unless someone sais another would be better, i don't know much about 3/4 different roms i found for it) on my P5110 tablet, it worked but i had no sound. In that thread i found that you need to first have the stock rom flashed on it and tehn blissmallow for it to work.
I found this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704668) with stock roms but there are alot of listings and versions for the P5110, is there a specific one i need or can i use any version for this to work? Some also have a kernel download link, what is that for? does that also need flashing (and if so before/after)?
When flashing with stock can i flash this from TWRP one after the other (stock rom, blissmallow and gapps in one go)?
any help would be much apreceated
Why flash outdated roms when you can find newer roms in he unified section? You can find LOS 13, Slim 6, Resurrection Remix, and more roms which have updated security patches. Roms in the unified section are both compatible with the 7 inch and 10 inch models
To flash stock, you need odin, and your rom. Youcan find them on updato or sammobile. Select your region and flash that to your tab
P.S. most roms dont need you to flash stock first. You just need to wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik then flash the zip along wih your gapps.
thanks for the info, i tried blissrom because it seemed good, i'm pretty new to it and didn't realize it is outdated. Thanks for pointing that out, i'll take a look at the others you mentioned

no need to flash a stock rom, because you are on stock. stock rom means the original samsung firmware.
I want a custom ROM and I'm wondering if its possible or if it will brick.
I'm going to guess no because there's no way to install a custom recovery which you'd need to install the rom.
Firstly, there don't seem to be any custom roms compatible with fit US Snapdragon variants. Secondly, we don't have a custom recovery but we could use Flashfire. So no, you can't flash a custom rom because there aren't any compatible yet.
Can I install ROM from Cool1 on LeRee Le3? I was looking for custom rom for LeRee Le3 and I didn't find. This phone works very slow on stock ROM. I have Letv X526 with the same parameters and it works fastly.

No one who didn´t try can answer you for sure.
As a rule No 1 you can´t flash a rom from other device onto a similar not even almost identical device.
Stock roms contains critical files from sensitive partitions that can perma-brick your device but with custom roms could be slightly different although a kernel from other device can soft/hard brick yours.
Despite you could install it you may expect a lot of issues cause it was builded for other device.
Said that if you want to take the risk you need to do the next before:
- Backup most important data.
- Download a stock/factory rom for your device if you need to restore it.
- Unlock bootloader.
- If you are going to flash a stock rom, flash only system, userdata partitions and the boot image you need to port it and keep the same kernel to avoid brick it.
Best you can do is search for a custom rom from a similar device and learn/read and try to port it for your device at least in the case that you can´t build it from the source for various reasons..

Yes you can
