Corvus OS for M20 - Samsung Galaxy M20 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I saw an article that Said i could put Corvus on any device and If any issues occur
try to ask Here on XDA.
I saw another post that said an unsupported device could end up with a hard brick.
First question:
Die anyone try this yet? Or does anyone know what issues might pop up If i would actually flash this?
Second question:
I saw a post where ppl discussed how to put Lineage OS on a unsupported device. And another one that said its possible for other ROMs aswell. It is, as I can imagine, hard and time consuming, as I need programming and Android knowledge, but did anyone here try it with the M20 or maybe even the SM-M205FN?
I saw words like "device tree" and other things i dont know anything about.
I dont think i could learn all of this and i dont think anyone could give me a step by step tutorial, but i am curious. Maybe someone here proofs me wrong or is providing some information.
At the end of the day, its still the ROM i am talking about Here, so If Something goes wrong and my Phone would be dead welp. Not worth it.

I am sorry that you got offfended. Wait a minute, no I'm not. I see that you have edited your post above. Good because it made absolutely no sense the way you first wrote it. It seemed to be something that was written by a 10 year old. Your spelling and grammar are horrible. Just look at the post I quoted. "did you ever had a ...." -
I will rewrite it for you.
"Have you ever bricked your Breeze and then successfully repaired your device. If so, please share your experience and step by step instructions taken to fix your device in this thread to help those less cerebrally gifted like myself to fix our own devices, because we just don't have a clue."
Is this clear for you?
I have taken the liberty to check out your posting behaviour. You seem to have been having problems for quite some time but have not gotten a straight answer and for that I am sorry for you. I cannot help you because:
1. I do not own a Breeze
2. I don't have much experience with flashing custom ROM's and have never Bricked my device, (Because I am really careful and do lots and lots of reading in these forums to learn everything I need to learn before doing anything.)
When I responded to your post, I was only trying to help you by getting you to be more clear with what your problem was and what you wanted out of this thread. It really made absolutely no sense the way you had orriginally written it. With this attitude you have - you might find it difficult to get anyone to help you.
Good bye... Good luck. I hope you get what you are looking for

Have you read this thread - May be helpful. I have not read it fully; however, noticed that you have not posted in it.

If you have any questions about the process described, may I suggest in addition to posting in the thread itself, send a private message to jerpelea as he created this thread and Guide. You will have to try to provide as much information as possible to him / her - What you did? how you did it? etc... What rom you were trying to flash. Answer any questions he asks and don't get frustrated with him / her if it takes time for him / her to figure out what happened to your device. You have to remember that you did this to your device / not anyone else and you are the one with the device in front of you. Be patient - Listen to their advice, follow their instructions - answer their questions - don't give up and start looking for someone else to help you out because you will just annoy people and will have to start all over again explaining your situation. If you want your device fixed then you need to listen up and stop being so aggressive - it puts people off and pushes them away. I know that it is frustrating, but look - your tactics have not been working so far. I have seen in several threads that there were some people trying to help you but you just disappeared from that thread before they could finish. You had failed to answer some peoples questions . Remember, they need to know what is what before giving you direction because the last thing they want to do is rush you into doing something that might actualy permanently brick your device. Also remember that it will not be a quick fix - May take several days / weeks as most people here have lives outside of this forum. USE Private messaging though once you have found someone who will take the time to guide you. If you try to rush it - you might truely end up with a paper weight
There is also a lot of information in the WIKI here. I strongly urge you to read all of this to learn everything there is to learn about your device. It will not only possibly lead to helping you figure out how to solve your problem, but also help you to understand what others are asking you with regards to your device.

asking for you, and all who has enough experience in building a rom, or whatever to find a way a universal way to repair our devices....
thank you, and thx for all who can help, and post a solution....
I am sorry that I cannot help you, I just don't know about your device or ROM upgrading. You seem to be very desperate and let your emotions get the best of you in your posts. This with the language barrier can make it very difficult. I really hope that someone here who is capable of helping you can be patient enough with you to help you. You have to remember to be patient to with them though or they will just walk away and leave you with a device that doesn't work.
If no one here can help you, what about taking your device in for service. I don't know how long you have had your device for (Warranty) (Upgrade to a new device that works)
Good luck

how to upgrade rom, ...?

first of i wanna thank all thoes who post here to assist niggas like me who far behind when it come to tecnology.i reviewed many forms and still dont understand how to do this. i had a behold and broke it puttin software on there so i dont wanna do it to my wing.i always considered myself an intelligent individual but when i started learning about this i felt dumb as homer(the simpsons).i need help. i will donate to whoever can put this in slow terms and help me step by step.i would like to install touch and 6.1 in not 6.5..i still dont know what im talkin about but ive seen the youtube videos an been fasinated with gettin them ever since.please assist me i will greatly appreaicate it u will .i just got my wing monday so i dont know if its even capiable of this upgrade but let me know..
Hey man I'm on the same boat as you. This **** is real complicated but after about 24 hours of reading through all these tutorials and guides I have manahed to Hard SPL my devie (I still don't know what that means but I did it and needed to do it to add custom ROM's to it).
Do what I did man read up on this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369397
Start from "how to flash" and Hard SPL your device. If you get stuck on anything just post here. I will see if i can help but like i said I'm only starting like you so it would be better if a mod comes and helps us both =P
oh and no I didn't mess up my device I have flashed it about 10x already
Yeap. I upgraded ROM succesfully, but when my PPC started for the first time he asked for screen align. I was tapping mark many times and nothing happened. Please, do not say it is my digitizer's problem..

Question about ROM Development

Where do I get started?
Just been wondering that as of late, how do I get around to get starting on my own build?
Any advice is helpful thanks!
They don't like to give straight answers to this question. I think it's kind of like when you first start in a trade, like when I started dong electric work, you have to pay your dues. In the case of a trade it's dong the **** work, in this case I think it's searching thousands of threads, trial and error, risking bricking your phone, etc. Nobody likes a noob taking a shortcut. Lol.

While this is *sometimes* true, we here at XDA try not to make it so. However, I will say that it's quite a task and a pain in the ass to find the information one tries to look for; there really isn't a "Tutorial" section (Wiki, yes -- but with limited info). Usually, the search function will find you the information you're looking for -- if not, ALWAYS check other websites. (e.g. Android Central, Modaco's website, etc)
Case and Point:
To get started with ROM development, Icon making, and setting up a Ubuntu for the Android SDK, use these links below.
**All credit goes to Gbhil - who can be found here and at Android Central for the information found in these links!
** For ROM development
1. http://forum.androidcentral.com/hacking/6037-general-rom-faq.html
** For Customer Icons
2. http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/6070-changing-hero-application-icons.html
** Setting up Ubuntu
3. http://forum.androidcentral.com/hac...ramming-envrionment-using-ubuntu-windows.html]
These should get you started, after this -- like I said earlier -- USE the search function, there is information here; otherwise search elsewhere also. Good luck.
a bit drastic, but not untrue...
actually just asking "how to" is a bit unspecific. just start by looking how others have done it. and to actually brick your phone by toying with roms is hard to do. a pretty safe way to achieve a brick would be flashing a wrong radio or spl, which is not part of rom cooking. as long as your custom recovery image boots your phone is fully working. now go and rip apart your favorite rom, and a last hint: there is actually a thread called "[how to] rom cooking" somewhere in the hero section... maybe worth a search?

For the record guys, I was just joking about the not being helpful thing. I wasn't trying to offend anyone. And I completely understand the idea behind the mindset, regardless. When someone at work comes up to me and asks me something about an android phone, I say "I have written three tutorials on troubleshooting, syncing, and basic use of the device. Go read it." After I take the time to write the **** down, it's offensive when someone just wants to ask and have their hand held instead of doing a little reading and legwork. But once again, wasn't trying to insult or piss anyone off.

I agree. I've took the time to read,search and try things.
I flashed the zip file and tried to flash it but I got a "can't find update script" Does anyone know what Im doing wrong?

lol you probably have no update script
unzip an existing (working!) rom and check the contents of the META-INF folder, the three files in it are the signatures and can be deleted (will be recreated when signing the the file in the end). now check the subfolders, eventually you will find the update script.
LOL. The ROM I trying to flash is the early 2.0.1 release from flipz. I was just clearing out stuff I didn't want. Ill take a look at that, thanks.

[Q] ROM on 2x?

Hello!
I'm kinda noobish with this ROM thing that everyone talking about (I have my 1st smartphone 2 days now) so I would like to ask you why do you update ROM? If I do it, can I lose warranty?
Also, without cracking the phone (or buying products), can I use word/excel/powerpoint?
For my new stupid (but for me important questions) I'll ask soon
Hope for fast answer, wanna use the best out of this OMG-SO-GOOD phone!

yes, installing custom roms does break your warranty, and to be quite honest if you don't know what the point of doing it is then its probably something that you will be better of not doing, especially since this is your first time using a smartphone.
btw this is not the correct forum for questions like this, you should have posted it in the general section, that would probably have resulted in a lot more answers.
Huh TNX, but if I dont learn it now I wouldnt know it later either (like general section), so I'm going to post it on general, maybe someone who has tima and will will tell me

well thats right i suppose, just keep in mind that rooting/installing a custom mod can brick* your phone if your not careful, which is why I don't recommend that you do it unless you are somewhat experienced with android.
*note:bricking is when your phone becomes as useful as a brick... in other words not useful at all, the o2x can actually be recovered from a bricked state in most cases but the recovery procedure is rather complicated and not something i would recommend for someone with little computer/phone knowledge.
PS: when I said you should post it in the general section I meant the o2x general section not the global general section, I guess I should have been a little more specific on the exact forum, sorry If i confused you.
Well its had to be experienced if you don't start somewhere.
To answer OPs question, installing roms, can greatly increase your phones perfomance, and it's also a fun past time.
Just play around with it, you don't need to be an expert at anything, just follow instructions

[Q] HTC HD7 Android IOS

Hello.
I'm new. I want to ask if it is possible to get the Android IOS on an HD7 and replace it with Windows Phone 7.
Thanks
Sasobam
your makes no sense, please can you rewrite it?
What do you want?
put the FagPhone software on a HD7?
or install Windows Phone 7 on a FagPhone?
the 2nd option would make it a MalePhone...

I want to put an Android rom on the HD7 and overwrite the windowsphone rom or do it so,you can dualboot booth roms. Android and WinPhone.
the simple answer...
Sell the phone if you don't want WP7, the question had been written several times now and it's getting really boring to answer the same... it won't happen because of the security measures on the bootloader.
You want android? sell the phone and get yourself any android device you like...
yes android is likely to work on the hd7.
however no one has figured out how to install it and boot it..
Look out!!! A pig flying!!!...

If nobody noticed, the title was sarcasm...
If a WP7 hardware could run Android, where's the ROM? Where is the step by step process?
The bootloader in WP7 is so well protected that affirming that any WP7 hardware could boot Android is ****** up. it's just an hypothesis that since it hasn't been proved is just a good ideas that doesn't work.
I'm not a chef, not a hacker, I'm a user who waits till someone figure things out and test the discovery for the sake of learning, and later advice anyone who wants help.
I try to talk with my experience, if I fail, I try to learn from it. eg: the Half Bricked and Bricked bootloaders, I know this from first hand.
I don't talk fantasies, once I discover that something is false, I never claim that as real but a fake... eg: the Chinese HD7 that runs Android, that is a cheap knock off.
I never pose as a newbie when I know about it.
but with your postings...
You some times are a noob... eg: "How this can be done, please guide me" or "is this thing good for my phone" (yes you pretended to be a noob, I don't know if it was trolling or because you are such an *** or an attention *****)
Some times you are a master when it comes to ROM flashing... eg: "You must use the HSPL to be able to install custom ROMs" or "You must use y-Cable to downgrade your phone" (yes you helped some people with your very obvious experience, that is clearly not from a newbie)
You claim some things as real when they are already been known as FAKE, like your postings about WP7 hardware and Android.:silly:
when it comes to your "knowledge" dear sir, keep it real but if it is speculative(or your personal fantasies) keep it to yourself, and don't claim that I'm spreading lies about you, I've read every post you wrote about WP7, this three points about your behavior are VERY REAL!
Yes I'm sometime really cranky or even rude, this can't be avoided as sometimes the questions or the answers, like the previous one, are very stupid, but I try to stay true to the knowledge, because a lie can be disastrous if the idea behind it is (unintentionally) wrong or it is deliberated with malice to cause harm.
If you don't like what I said, just change for your own good.
GOOD DAY SIR!
PS: Any form of communication from you would be ignored(erased if possible). One can't take the risk that lying could be a contagious disease... (sarcasm)
Thread Closed
I believe the answer to the OP is "No", and this thread is now closed before it goes any further south.
Thank you,
