You need to install the ADB and the AVD (Android Virtual Device). But my advice is to try the rom in the phone itself. Reason, the ace has many variants. The rom may work in the emulator, but may not work on the device actually..

My bad
ok, thx man!
Just remove the bootloaders if it has any in, that means it will be very hard to hard brick it
Try the Android Commander with the phone in USB debugging.
Goog luck

How is Ace variant thingy affecting this thing? We don't specify the device in the AVD,we specify its screen resolution and all those stuff manually.

There are step by step newbie guides posted already, why should forum members "have to" keep repeating themselves constantly? It encourages noobs to read less and create even more pointless annoying repetitive threads.

Have you considered if there were less noobs creating pointless threads that your research could have been accomplished faster? You have also successfully ignored the noob OP's question in this case choosing instead to criticize the content of a post that actually answered the question.
Good luck on your quest to spoonfeed every noob that comes along.

Flash via recovery, as I know. If you see META-INF in the zip, it's a flashable zip.

how can i uninstall system apps in icecoldsandwich,as i dont use nova launcher,oi file manager etc
i used an app called root app delete but it gives a warning it is a system app & you should keep it.
i am afraid to uninstall because of this warning,will deleting it affect the stability of rom ?

You could use Titanium Backup and use the FREEZE Application option. It will prevent frozen apps from running but if you have stability issues, then you can simply unfreeze them. This would be a safer way to do it if you don't know what you are doing.

CWM and Odin warning on GT-I9001

Probably a stupid question from a noob: everytime I see an interesting ROM I would like to flash, the instructions say use CWM and Odin. But both apps warn GT-I9001 is not supported. What am I doing wrong?
Use cwm 5 from arco.

CWM and Odin aren't apps! You are probably looking at something in the Play store and are on a completely wrong path.
Odin is a windows program used to flash ROMs/Firmware on Samsung phones. Odin version 4.43 is the one you need.
CWM is a recovery, a small bootable system that you install on a partition on your phone that you can boot into to backup or restore the phone.
Start by reading the Wiki and the Starter Guide.

[Q] Can't boot into TWRP and my phone got unrooted

Hello!
I have a Huawei Mate 9 (MHA-L29C432B190). Yesterday I tried to root my Phone to play Pokemon Go with fake gps. After I managed to root my phone, I couldn't boot into TWRP Recovery Mode anymore.
Because I still had some files I needed to flash I installed Flashfire from the PlayStore. I think after I flashed the newest Magisk version(The flash failed because of Error:1), my device got unrooted. But I think my device is still partly rooted because I can't get into Pokemon Go. Everytime I try to start it I get stuck the loading screen. So right now I can't flash anything to get my root back and I don't have the root to use alternative flash applications. I also tried to start return my phone to stock back with a update.app But it can't be installed. I also can't use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" I always get " Writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote:command can't be used/allowed)". And also after some reboots my oem unlock got turned off and I can't turn it on anymore.
I don't have any ideas anymore what to do. I thought I could root my device, so I could unroot properly with superuser. I tried some other application like KingRoot oder OneClickRoot but both of them don't have a rooting method for the Huawei Mate 9 yet. Btw I don't have a backup because of my naivety.
I hope you guys can help me . I appreciate any ideas
Thanks in advance

Either way I want a method to root my phone without some flash application or I want a way to return my phone to stock. Or a method to fix TWRP would be fine too.

That doesn't tell me anything. That just tells me that you tried flashing.
It doesn't tell me anything about exactly what you tried to flash or what errors you got when you flashed. I need more precise information to help you. Your simple answers aren't helping me understand anything about what you have going on with your device.
What tools have you used? What guide/instructions did you use? What files have you used? What errors did you get? What results did you get. What do mean "didn't work"? "Didn't work" can mean many things.
I might be able to help you fix your device but I can't fix ignorance.

First I tried to do a force upgrade with a "dload" folder with a update.app file on my sdcard . After booting into this upgrade mode by pressing vol up + vol down + power button my device starts to install the stock firmware, but after it reaches 5% I get the message "Error with installing" and a Link to the same site when you boot into twrp. This always happens no matter which file I use. Next I tried to do a normal upgrade by calling this number "*#*#2846579#*#*" (The dload folder is still on my sdcard). But when I start the software upgrade I get booted into twrp and like I said in my post, always when I try to get into twrp I get stuck on the "Your device is booting screen". This is what I tried and basicly every site on google is saying I should try to do one of these two methods

Stock upgrades are not going to work if you are rooted and have TWRP.
Stock updates require stock recovery and an unmodified system partition(no root).

Question Has root for the NE2217 been achieved yet?

Has root for the NE2217 been achieved yet? I've been searching thru the threads & cannot find mention of someone achieving root specifically for the NE2217 model. It is the US T-Mobile version. Any help is greatly appreciated
Still waiting on one plus to update the page to unlock the bootloader. Hopefully we get a modified Msn tool soon.

yup just realise that
You don't really need to wait for the firmware, you just need to extract the boot image then boot it...
I'll find the commands required to do this.

I can't find it?? Wth!
I'll keep looking, really annoying me, haven't had to do it myself but remember seeing the process
Until the commands are found to extract a boot image from a live device are found.
Why don't you attempt to boot a boot image from a comparable model?
Do not flash it unless it actually works as you do not have a route back to stock, but by booting it's risk free just obtain a patched image ( I have some in my root guide in the guides section )
Pop your phone in fastboot then just run fastboot boot name of boot image, the phone will boot. If it fails to boot just hold the power and volume buttons and allow it to restart, you original boot image will be intact and nothing will have changed.
If it does indeed work then you could use Magisk to make it permanent by opening Magisk and clicking install / direct install as you'll be rooted at this point.
As you're on T-Mobile you need to verify that your calling and text ability works as well as your internet access .
Have seen a tonne of issues with T-Mobile and custom ROMs / rooting, so yep be weary of processes, make sure you test everything first before committing to changes like this.
Side note: have you actually unlocked the bootloader? Not sure if the process is the same for you guys or not but thought I'd ask. Obviously won't be able to boot anything with a locked bootloader
