[Q] How to download ROMs from multi/mega upload

Hi all,
Most of the ROM's posted in the development sections are uploaded on Multiupload/Megaupload. However, I can't download the ROM's now that these sites have been blocked by US. Is there any way around to download these? If not, may I request developers to upload the ROM's somewhere else as well?
I stay in India and I have been trying to download Sense ROM's for my G1.

Come on guys, no one else facing this problem? Multiupload and Megaupload working for you guys?

No they arent, developers are adding mirrors and uploading to other sites, what you should do is post on specific threads for the roms you want asking for a mirrior or alternative download option. On older roms that arent being worked on anymore you may have little luck unless some nice person gives you a link, on newer threads the devs will surley put out new download links for everyone. Just ask

Ask in the ROM thread and someone might have it and can upload it for you

I know ROM thread is the best place to raise this question. But I can't post there as I am new here. I was trying to download FroSense v1.0 which is hosted on a now blocked site. Appreciate if someone can post a mirror link in ROM thread from where I can download it then.
Thanks for your response

check frosense thread today, i posted for you

You're welcome, but please refrain from opening threads like this in the future when there are already threads related to your wishes. Searching before posting is like thinking before speaking.

i'm waiting too

downgrade + OTA survival ?
Did you try to downgrade, root, set OTA survival and reflash .253?
EDIT: Doesn't work.

As eager as you're to root, this is not the forum to post in. This is a development forum so please use the Q & A from next time.

If i update my 350 via ota to 434 and after to 253 i lose the root?

So from your perpsective, rooting methods and tools should be posted in Q&A ? Asking for a rooting tool in Q&A, no devs will ever see it.

You see, there are rules we need to follow. A development forum is where a developer or a contributor posts. Requests are entertained in the Q&A only. Also, if someone does manage to root the new firmware, it'll be up on the development forum. I have nothing against requests, just try to keep the forums organised.

Et voilà
A solution that works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41517811#post41517811
Maybe OP can change title to SOLVED or better FW.253 ROOTED ?
The solution is not from me, so don't forget to thank the rightful users/devs who did it.
Here are direct links to the "guide" to make it work, until OP is updated:
To install .253 rooted:

Don't understand the fix reboot part
only create the file with notepad named "install-recovery.sh" and put it into the path in the flashable zip?

[Q] [QUESTION] using custom roms

hi guys. heres my question. -- if i use a custom rom for my SGA , How long can i use the rom i installed? can i use it for a long time as long as it has no bugs like stock roms? even if theres an update on the rom i used , do i have to install the update?

First thing i would like to tell you that you can use any ROM for as much time as you want.If you are on a ROM which is bugless and better than stock so there is no problem in being on it.
Nextly as it goes for updates if your ROM support OTA updates then you can easily update it as on Stock but don't install updates from the Manufacturer untill not on Stock.
Abd installing updates depends totally on you if want you can if you dont its up to you.
Hit THANKS if Helped :good:

1. You can use it as long as you would
2. Some of custom rom have a view bugs, or the ui doesn't fit you. I think you should carefully choose your cusrom.
3. Usually rom update bring the good changes, or you can see the changelog first.
To avoid unwanted answers, i think you should use the Q&A thread.

Stock firmware, flashable through Odin (download included)

Now that we have root, hoping putting this download here will lead to some development. All credit to Sunderwear for the original upload.
If anyone needs me to upload other stuff for ROM development, just let me know what to grab.

Please search, Android Development forum isn't for questions like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016

Can someone contact Sunderwear and have him grab files for newest release from ATT so that PingPong Root can be built for new rom? I haven't taken ROM yet because of this.

Just saw in another post someone has sent them the kernel and other files. Shouldn't be too long.
I don't think they patched the exploit, so hopefully it'll be up the next couple of days. Would really like some nice upgrade options.

This is a development section not general. Conversations belong elsewhere. Since this serves no other purpose other than provide stock firmware the thread has served its purpose.
