Rooted with towelroot.What next?

Dear all,
I have rooted my device which is running 4.3 (c5502) (build number: . 101) with towelroot. Now i need to install any custom ROM. I came to know that it requires to install recovery first before flash any ROM. I stuck there..Can you please guide me. I didn't unlock my bootloader yet but I had my TA backup with me.Thanks in advance guys.

whatever u need to know is already there. just search for it. if u expect to be spoonfed then you really shouldn't mess with your phone

The thing is, do we really need to unlock boot loader to flash custom roms, or can it be closed just with root and recovery?
No one tryed it till now I think.
Greetings.

Yes for flashing custom Roms the bootloader must be unlocked and a recovery must be installed however if you want to flash a stock based Rom unlocked boot loader is not needed. Just Root and Recovery needed for flashing the stock based Roms. Correct me if i am wrong.

[Q] flashing roms & towelroot & lock bootloader

Hi all.
I was a big xda user / developer around the times of x8 / x10.
Things have changed alot
I've now got Xperia sp and is rooted via towelroot and Installed the recoveries. Bootloader is still locked and I am on stock everything
I NEED help. Can I flash a custom rom. Really want to but not.sure.if this will brick my phone. So here I am asking.for help
Thanks in advance and.if.you help I'll be clicking your thanks button.
Thanks again

Yes you can install custom roms, head over the roms zone and find the ones that in their names says "LB" which means Locked bootloader, the ones that say "UBL" are for unlocked bootloader and if the roms says both it means they work on both locked and unlocked bootloader

I love the android Dev section just don't want to brick my.device
Thanks again

Where is thanks button gone?
Also can I flash rom just like I use to
Download on my phone put in sd card boot to recovery then.flash
Going.to go for it soon will keep you informed what roms I try etc

Found the thanks button.
Need more help before I will flash a rom if you can pal?

I see now I must flash. 254. And.root via doomlord
That guy needs a medal, he's been awesome in this.scene from the beginning

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758935
Please do me a favour and have a look at that
Can I install it I have root via towelroot and have recoveries installed and.the same build number 12.1.a.1.205?

Yes you can, that rom is for both LB and UBL, and thanks alot mate! i've been browsing xda for a long time now but never had a chance or didn't want to make an account, but oh well, anyway's.. i think there might be better roms for you to try, that one seems like it won't get any more updates..
Also, there's cm, paranoid, pac-man for Locked bootloader, you can take a look on them too
Just make a backup of your current rom in case you want to go back
And sorry for the late reply, wasn't at home!

What about the build number do I have to find one same as my.stock build number.

Nah, anyways, there's a FTF thread that has stock firmwares to download in case you want to flash stock firmware via FlashTools

In general, you have to return to stock and relock to get the upgrade. Which model do you have? If you have the XT1063 then there is an update that you can flash from TWRP with the latest Lollipop (22.21.16). I believe it also works for the XT1064, but am not certain.

If you're on stock rom, make sure you haven't disabled any system apps or even uninstalled them.
Other than that just flash the stock rom, if needed, otherwise just the stock recovery.
Also, IMHO, I don't think you need re lock your bootloader. It's just a superfluous step

Lineage Os and app stock Moto X 2014

Hello everyone ! Above all, a thank you for your tutorials on Forum that are superbly accurate. : D I'm French and my English is bad, I apologize. :angel:
I come here to ask a question about the Rom LineageOs 14.1 for the Moto X 2014, code-named "victara".
As for the unlocking of the bootloader, the installation of the recovery, all this is already very well explained on the site.
I already have experience in the field, with my motorola moto G, under cyanogenMod 14.1, now with the screen in 1000 pieces, It's not very easy, thank you transport ... :rolleyes
My question is, can we keep the App stock (Ambient Display, Moto Voice, hand over the screen to display the time and notifications ?) Keeping them via TitaniumBackup of the Rom Stock , 6.0, and flashing them during the installation of LineageOs 7.1.1?
I read that a few people by flashing this Rom, and above all by unlocking the BootLoader, lost the GSM network. How can you remedy a worry knowing that on XDA no one solves the worry? I spent hours reading the forum, and it worries me to flash my phone.
Back on the Rom Stock and re-lock the BootLoader, by being passed on the current stock Rom, in Nougat, 7.1.1, it is impossible to reuse its Backup of its Rom Stock due to the "gpt.bin" which is not The same, so brick the phone because passing on an older version? All links for Rom Stocks of XT1092 - EU are HS on several post I have read ... Can I flash another rom stock ? Like xt1095 and other ? French telephone networks are different from us ...
A big thank you for your answer,
Slygers.

No, you cannot keep the stock Moto apps. There are alternatives that function similarly.
You should not lose GSM by unlocking the bootloader or flashing a ROM. I have not heard of anyone experiencing that. You may need to alter your APNs to work on your network on the custom ROM.
Do NOT attempt to re-lock your bootloader. You cannot re-lock it, and you may brick your device when attempting. You can revert to your stock ROM but cannot re-lock your phone. Just make a full device backup in your recovery of choice that you can restore.
If you want to convert to xt1095, see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-xt1097-to-xt1095-nextel-t2972693

Hello !
Thank you for responding so quickly, and to provide such an accurate response. :victory:

Yes, just back up and select all of the options. You may also choose to not do data. In that case, it will just restore the ROM itself and not touch data.

Flash OFFICIAL Xiaomi fastboot rom via Miflash (take care, don't relock the bootloader!!!!) and reinstall TWRP 1102 or 1227 if you take the latest DEV version and not the STABLE.
TWRP 1102 or 1217 for Stable rom
twrp 1227 for latest DEV weekly rom 9.2.15

You are on OFFICIAL XIAOMI rom, that's was needed to refresh your phone.
This rom is full chinese without ANY GOOGLE application.
two options:
you stay with it and install GOOGLE PLAY on it or FLASH a custom modified EU rom with all the western stuff like Google and translations.
You need a modified recovery (TWRP) to flash a custom rom.
Your decision!

Do you know if it exist an ROM europeen (french) on miui10 ? With the Google service or possibility to install the gapps

Read well the first and second post and you'll be on the right track.

That's only what is well done with french language and under MIUI 10 Android 9.0

Thanks, but doesn't exist on fastboot version ? Because I have try to unlock my bootloader and I need to wait 360 hours but i doesn't this time, do you have a link like the first you have send to me but for an fastboot version and europeen, whatever the miui version. Thanks

No way and no possibility to flash custom rom out of TWRP usage.
That's the problem you are facing to wait in order to unlock the bootloader.
You must do it or stay with chinese ROM. This was like that when you bought this 100% chinese phone. And for me the same, so I waited 360 H and unlocked the bootloader for having TWRP available...
You have time to learn on how to do it.

As said before, this is a Chinese phone not sold "normally" out of CHINA.
It comes with CHINESE STABLE rom and no GLOBAL rom version ('for international sale with GOOGLE applications and all languages) is available and never will be!..
Sorry.
Anyway this phone is the best size/weight/features/price/performance/design RATIO in all XIAOMI phone range.
Tha's why I bought it to replace my MI5.

Thanks, so do you thinks I can found an traduction to all my mobile ? Before to install the chinese i having the miui global 9.5 stable 9.5.10.0 oebcnfa, it was the original ROM installed on my mobile when I have but my phone, I would like to refind here...
