Hi,
I am still running stock ROM (rooted but LOCKED and NO Recovery) and I would like to upgrade to CM10.1 Official.
I been reading around but there are so many methods to upgrade and unlock and root and stuff and a lot of users having issues, therefore I would like to know which method would be best to:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Install CWM
3. Upgrade Firmware to V20A
4. Install CM10.1
5. Any other cool stuff?
Anyone willing to help please? I don't need a long reply with details, just links to the best method thread of doing it would be great thanks! Too many methods around.
Regards
All the guides you need are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225910
First upgrade to JB, then unlock your bootloader using official method, if the official method doesn't work try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251407
Easiest way to install recovery is through ROM manager available on Google play, you need to root before you install it though. After that you can use recovery to wipe data and flash cm10.1, good luck!
I also recommend you install this kernel with cm10.1, it gives extra governers, schedulers and overclocks the GPU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256899

regarding rooting, ive read about blackjack and upgrade kit methods and about CWM, still confused as nova rom needed before flashing CWM. Also, i did'nt found thread regarding VPN which is my main priority. hope guys you can guide me and if possible any links stated above.
1. already posted before,search for it
2. download ROM Manager and a CWM install, flash through RM, then you're good
3. there's no vpn in stock rom,unless you flashed CM7

Hi,
Finally I read all the guides but I have a further question.
I am currently on stock rom without root. I would like to get a custom rom on my device.
What do I need to do? Or better what is necessary to do?
Can I simply flash a custom Rom through recovery?
Or is root necessary, or is cwm necessary?
Thx

First of all, do this thread in questions and aswers seccion
Secondly, get root on your device
Later get cwm5 and learn basic knowledge about download mode, recovery and flash
Once you understand that, install custom roms of other people, you must learn to flash roms and after that, pick a tutorial (use search) and go dev on linux (windows can be used to, but i prefeer linux)
Good luck!

Atleast for my knowledge CWM is a absolute necessary for flashing any custom ROM :laugh:
Greetings everyone.
As the title says, I'm a new proud owner of this phone and wish to tinker a bit with it, to smooth out performance and battery life (specially the latter). I am currently navigating this forum to find answers to all my questions, and am only creating this topic as a "fail-safe" to assure I find (and understand correctly) the answers I'm looking for.
First, the beast:
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband: L620_MODEM_SIC_02.121601
Kernel: 2.6.39.4
Build: IML74K
Software Version: LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012
Probably too much info, but better safe than sorry. I've found [URL="[/URL] guide on rooting and [URL="[/URL] bootloader unlock (although I'm unsure if I'll use it for now, I'll play around with stock for the time being).
Now, here come the questions:
1. Can you only install CWM \ TWRP with an unlocked bootloader?
2. [URL="[/URL] CWM says "only for 4.0.3", does it mean that it can only be installed in that version or will it only work with that Android version? (EXTRA: if there's any better recovery alternative that I've missed so far, please do point it).
3. I'm planning on using CPU Controller to set my max to 1.2Ghz (have a Vita, so the phone won't be used for gaming), I shouldn't have any issues, but a confirmation would be nice nonetheless.
4. After rooting (and mayhaps bootloader unlocking), could I safely update to stock JB? Would I lose any of the procedures if I did?
As I said, I'll keep lurking around to try and find an answer to these questions. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Firstly u need to update to official JB to unlock the bootloader & then root it & install CWM, since ICS bootloader can't be unlocked so no custom kernels.
1. yes u can install CWM with an unlocked bootloader
2. CWM & its procedure to install on ICS & JB is different.
3. No issues when you underclock your phone.
4. Yes after rooting ICS also you update to official JB.
Lastly i would recommend you to first update to official JB, then root, unlock bootloader, install CWM & then finally go with all roms, mods & kernels.

First off, thanks for answering.
Can CWM only be installed with an unlocked bootloader, or can I add it without having to unlock? That was more the point of my question.

You need UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER in order to install any custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. The best way to install CWM is Rom Manager from Play Store.
I have already answerd most of your questions with proper links availabe here on XDA here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42058399#post42058399
Have fun.

That's all I ever needed to know, many thanks! The order was confusing me (coming from a LWW, where you could install CWM without unlocking), and I didn't want to mess anything up. Time to fire up the JB upgrade.
i have got a milestone with android version of 2.2.1, and i can't install much games because of the low software, and I cant move games to SD card,
where there is a guide that show how to root milestone and install custom roms ?
I have got some knowlegde about android, i am not a noob.
BTW, i need another guide to restore the phone like he was in the beggining, with the original kernel and stuff.
Thanks For the helpers

hi,
a few days ago i upgrade my SONY XPERIA ZR from 4.3 android to 4.4.2 but unfortunately Mic problem during recording still exists, so i decide to install a custom ROM and as u know the best custom ROM is CM , then i download the last stable ROM that was CM 10.2.1 from its website ,then i understand if someone wanna install a CM ROM he should do some steps : 1) root the device 2) unlock bootloader 3) install CWM
so i did the first two steps and the third step i dont know how to find the compilable version and how to install it on my device and at last i dont know after these three steps how should i install CM 10.2.1 on my device , so can anyone please describe these steps with detail so that an amateur person like me do the steps easily , because nowhere on the web i couldnt find any clear installing method of CM ROM on Xperia ZR device.
anyway is there anyboday who installed this custom Rom on his/her device? is everything right with this custom rom? i really tired of install another rom and after install i find out it also have some problems!
First. Unlock your boatloader, than root, than, install recovery
Download and Copy zip files, firmware and gapps to sd card.
Go to recovery, do full wipe, install both zips, restart
