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.
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

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?

That guy needs a medal, he's been awesome in this.scene from the beginning

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
Hey guys,
Im new to HTC One. I have Tmobile version running on stock sense 6. I wanted to install a custom stock rom without the Tmobile Bloatware.
I know how to unlock the bootloader using HTC Dev method and install recovery to root. But i am a bit confused about S-Off. I have read that S-off will not work with Hboot 1.57.0000
So my questions are
1. Do i really have to S-off to install custom roms on HTC?
2. If not can i install ROMs for the int. version on my phone ?
3. Does the CID ver/number have anything to do with unlocking and rooting?
Thanks in advance.
1 No
2 Yes
3 No
If any time after install custom Rom you need revert back to Stock Rom for Warranty purposes you need S Off
You can s off with 1.57 if you need to. If Firewater doesn't work sunshine will but it'll cost u $25

Thank you for the reply. I have successfully rooted my stock rom and installed CWM recovery. And i have flashed custom kernel too.
I would now like to flash a 4.4.3 sense custom rom. I have read on some threads that the kernel wont be flashed on S-on devices. So do i have to flash a custom rom always after flashing a custom rom?
And one more thing. I currently have CWM touch recovery. I have seen lot of roms require TWRP. So my question is does the recovery image depend on the HTC variant? I have a Tmobile M7UL

Correct your Q
you don't need always flash custom kernel See requirement of kernel for custom ROM at their post
custom kernel don't need S Off ( it can be flashed with S On and it HELPS GETTING S Off)
S On wont let you flash Lower firmware or kernel then present now. see bootloader screen for that

yes You can flash any firmware same or higher version
TWRP 2.7.1.1 I not tried till but 2.6.3.3/4 is perfect
If only you could root your phone without having to unlock your bootloader so that you could know whether you can S-OFF or not.
like the title says. i cant find any roms specifically for the sm-g730w8 version (at&t) of the galaxy s3 mini. i see I8190 and golden but not the sm-g730w8. what roms can i flash for this device? will the ones that says golden work for this device model? im already rooted but no recovery because the recovery version is golden and not the one specific for my phone.
Bump
I also cannot locate any custom rom for G730w8. Had some use for this old phone but need a custom rom. Anyone?
Got it rooted and unlocked... but can't find a suitable TWRP or CWM recovery.
Sorry I know this is a reaaally old phone...

Currently there are some roms for the g730a varient that should work on yours, there is also safestrap for the g730a and g730v(basically twrp but it may not work on g730w8). You could also use flashfire. I did make a debloated stock rom and a port of tencent os but both of them are fairly buggy so I would just recommend staying on stock with root unless you want to make your own rom.
Hello, anyone can you help me ?
i have a problem with my phone,
i have s4 active sgh-i537 ROM lollipop (I537UCUCOC6) and Rooted (succes with kingroot).
and now, how to install TWRP/CWM ?
i try to flash all version TWRP and CWM for s4 active via ODIN but always failed. i try flash .img file via app TWRP Official, Rashr, Flashify and failed again
can s4 active sgh-i537 install TWRP or CWM ? need to UBL ?
if not, how to fix my problem ?
Thankyou for help, and sorry for bad english.
The i537 had a locked bootloader, it is not possible to flash custom recovery. You can only flash 2 ROMs in the development section through FlashFire. If you want an unlocked bootloader you need to buy the i9295.

If he's still on 4.4.2 he can use SafeStrap

True, but I doubt this is would help him accomplish his goal in the end. Yes it is recovery, but if he is trying to install one of the ROMs meant for the i9295 he's going to be out of luck.

Very true. But I prefer safestrap over flashfire, because its safer in the long run.
