i am quite confsed..
i am a developer from htc wildfire s forum..
i have my brother owning galaxy note..
i flashed the CM10 (unofficial ) on my device he was quite impressed with the JB in such a low end phone.. (htc wildfire s is armv 6 with only 600 mhz with no support for hd gaming.. not even temple run works on it )
so he said me to root his device.. n flash the CM10 rom in it..
so as the guide said i rooted the phone..
(i also installed mobile odin n triangle away from market )
then i googled n realised there is something called binary counter..
n then i also realised that many users are having problem in flashing the CWM. (its kernel dependent i guess,, n i dont know which one to use.. i flashed the hydracore v3 kernel)
so i am likke WTF how to back up the rom?
N now if i want to flash a rom i can do it with odin.. but then how will i revert back to my ICS(the current rom ie the stock rom ,)
can plz someone answer to my questions...
LONG story in Short :
1) how to backup (without increasing the counter)
2)How to restore backup without getting the device bricked.
Root device and flash safe kernel(e.g.Hydracore) with Mobile odin
(2nd link on my signature, use method 1 to root, and use mobile odin to flash safe kernel)
After flashing safe kernel you will have CWM advance recovery, which have backup/restore function

Check rooting guide in Dr.Ketan's sig, you will find all methods to root there.
In method 1 you have to root first and then you can flash custom kernel using mobile odin or pc odin (flashing custom kernel will also install cwmr)
method 2 is flashing custom kernel using pc odin it will root and flash cwm recovery too.

Proly when those thread were created, there was no safe ICS custom kernel, now we have lots of them, You can use Hydracore kernel. So basically as long as you are on any safe kernel, you can restore and backup using cwmr without any danger of brick (provided that you follow correct procedure, lol)

No prob bud and yes HTC phones are not that much risky, I have used HD2 and Desire and they were so easy to play with.

It depends on your requirement, I have tried almost all custom roms available for Note from CheckROm (GB) to PA CM10 and they are are too good. But I always prefer stock rom for long run (again personal choice). As of now using stock LR6 with mods.

Jeetu1981,
Your hd2 still be with you? Im really miss that legendary smart phone. ...mine sold to my staff. Im force him to let me flash his hd2 at least once per month with the reason update for better performances..

lol, same here. I sold it to one of junior one year back (he is still using it) and just flashed PA by Xylograph 2 days back for him He actually don't know anything about flashing and all but wants to see different Android versions on his Leo.
im really regreted to sold my hd2. Im really never expect hd2 will have changes to taste jelly bean. I thought it will be the end of story when ics landed for hd2.
Im really wonder hd2 are going taste window 8 as well.
Nothing is impossible for hd2....:thumbup:
Sorry for off topic again.

Hello,
so do you guys have a thread about bootloader unlocking? Didn't find it.
And do i need to unlock it? Just root and install recovery? Like in this rom thread forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-v5-0-0-ultra-edition-10-4-t2349656 (i can't post clickable links yet)
And scroll down to how to install the rom and there it just is - install some firmware with flashtool, root and install recovery. Where is the bootloader stuff? Or it depends from the rom? help.

You only need an unlocked bootloader for non-stock based roms, such as Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android, AOSP etc and those based off them, as they need a custom kernel.
Stock based custom roms do not require an unlocked bootloader, as long as they use an unmodified stock kernel. The rom thread will specify if you need an unlocked bootloader in most cases.

Ok, thanks for your help
Did anyone use the eXistenZ rom ? forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-v5-0-0-ultra-edition-10-4-t2349656
Can i change the red theme like showed in the screenshots? Is there some settings or a theme engine? Thanks!
Hi there,
At the moment I'm running Android 4.4.2 Stock ROM, but I want to switch to MIUI V5. I would like to know if it's possible to do this while having a locked Bootloader.
P.S.: First I used the towelroot-method to get root acces, then I installed SuperSU and CWM Recovery. So that's already done.
It should be possible. Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-miu-z-4-2-2-multilang-v2-5-10-3-1-2-t2467408
Just follow the steps for locked bootloaders.

Thank you for the fast reply! I'll try it. By the way are there any bugs in the ROM I've mentioned? I can't read any Chinese and Google Translation doesn't translate that well.
Isn't MIUI based on AOSP/CM? If it is, then you cannot flash it on a locked bootloader.
Edit - It seems the rom that gripfly linked to can be flashed on locked bootloaders. Disregard my post. ?

Too bad it's an outdated ROM. I would love to see the newest MIUI ROM running on this beauty, but I'm too scared to try it out and mess it up, and then risking to lose the DRM key.
Edit: Are there any good ROMS with nice GUI apart from Sony's UI for the Xperia Z? The MIUI ROM V5 is based on Android 4.2.2, which is more a downgrade than an upgrade...

There are many good ROMs on the forum.
Actually, UI varies from person to person so it's very difficult to say which one is better, you can search in the forum and find a suitable one.
As for me, I highly recommend PA which include many good features.
Locked bootloader means stock based ROMs only.

If you're on stock ROM, I think it will give you status 7 error
Flash Carbon ROMs included kernel with fastboot and your recovery will change

You might also try my NeoWave rom, as it looks and feels like a Sony stock rom.
Walkman is included, Sony Camera won't work on AOSP, however.

To use custom ROMs you MUST UNLOCK BOOTLOADER. If you can access fastboot unlock your device

u unlock ur bootloader and u fastboot flash included kernel that's all u need; all custom/cm kernels has a recovery pre installed in it.
and don't forget the golden rule...always backup data before playing with your device

OK there are so many root methods on net that made me confused, i want to root my friend's SP
there is oneclick root and etc, the reason i want to root is to improve the performance of hes phone, so i also want TWRP for flashing custom ROM!
how can i get root and TWRP on he's phone? as i know oneclick just roots the phone, is the only way to flash ROMs to unlock bootloader from sony's website?

Just unlock bootloader with sony website or flashtool, than you can root it with towel root or with flashing custom kernel with recovery (doomkernel or williamskernel) and flashing superSU that way. If you want recovery on stock, use this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649923
thanks, can you recommend me any LL ROMs? just basically any for performance, he won't care much! i don't know what roms are available for sp, i googeld slim and etc but i only found 4.4.4 versions! res mix was only lollipop
edit: is it a good idea to flash lollipop? are they stable? for example is CM12 unoffical stable and good? i see i have to flash a lot of fixes for it!
