hello im new on samsung device
can i install A11/A10 custom rom on Latest A12 firmware
and is this phone doest have a telegram group???
sorry for bad english
First of all i don't think there's the right thread to ask questions..
You can install any custom rom on your android phone if there's created one on your device.
If you're new on flashing custom roms i suggesting you to take a look at youtube videos how it's done because its not hard to brick your device. If you end up so, then just install a firmware trough odin app. Anyway installing a custom rom requires to wipe all of your phones data so make sure you backup files you need like photos, videos, etc.

Hello guys, im planning to root and flash my wildfire device for the first time, i already studied and review all related things on hot thing done in wildfire..
now, the only question and seems not posted here..
As i bought my wildfire the stock ROM version is "1.25.707.1 cl227575 release-keys", where can i download this ROM so that incase i got a problems with different custom roms i can revert it back to my original rom version, i cant seems to find it in SHIPPED-ROMs website..
and if there no such thing as that version in the net, is it possible to backup my original ROM?.. (i guess not because i need first the custom loader to have the backup features which will wipe first my original rom before i can backup)..
Thanks!..
as far as i am aware you can use unrevoked to root your phone. this will also install clockworkmod which replaces stock HTC recovery tool. within clockword mod you can make a backup of your current ROM and all apps and settings etc. you dont need a custom ROM to backup your existing ROM. just need your phone to be rooted. which is pretty much a one click process once you have got the windows drivers installed.
not sure about posting external links on forum but google unrevoked and see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7895908&postcount=127
good luck
Hey Guys. If you want to save time, jump to the bold part :
I'm new to the modding scene and have gone around the forum reading all about Roms, kernels, rooting, etc.
Last week I ordered my first Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy S 8gb from Singapore.
I will be receiving it in about 4 hours. I have been told that it's on stock eclair 2.1, not sure which firmware version.
Since this phone is absolutely new, I am posting this question just to make sure I dont screw it up on the first night (literally).
I want to install custom ROM to the phone, so here's what I have understood I have to do :
1) Perma Root the phone
2) Install Rom Manager from Market
3) Reboot in clockwork recovery, choose update.zip (I have decided to go with the "Ultimate Rom" which is a combination of Doc's and Voodoo's works among others with some added themes.
My question is, is there anything else I need to know ? Do I need to make backup using Rom Manager of my STOCK Rom ?
When I do a "Factory reset", does phone revert to stock Rom ?
Thanks for the awesome work guys.
hi
first of all i apologize for my retarded questions , but i'm late to the android party as this is my first droid
Loving the phone so far other than the horrible battery life that's why i thought about roms and kernels , but then i got very confused and i have a few questions.
Do all roms require root or unlocked bootloader ?
I read a thread saying that the new cyanogenmod is rooted , Does that mean that it automatically root the device? , if so how do i install it exactly ?
Do i need root to install kernels ? do i have to install a kernel with a specific rom ? can i install a customized kernel on official rom ?
I read someone saying that i need to wipe cash before installing a rom , again how do i do that ?
Sorry i asked so many questions but i tried to read about it and i got overwhelmed , if there are any guides that i missed kindly point me to it and i'll be glad if anyone can recommend a rom and a kernel for improved gaming and battery life
thanks a lot
please bear in mind that i have no idea what adb is or kdz or any of this stuff , i hate myself right now
There are many wonderful guides for all of your information just a few clicks away.. But anyhow..
1. Stock roms - firmware (from LG) do not require rooted and unlocked device.
2. Yes, CM is already rooted.
3. First you need to upgrade your phone to 4.1 (v20a) Jelly Bean Android, root it and then unlock bootloader. After that, you have to install a recovery like CWM or TWPR so that you will be able to install roms, do backups, restore, wipe partitions etc. Easiest way to get CWM for example, is to install it via Rom Manager app.
4. Yes and unlocked BL.
5. Every rom has it's own kernel already but you can install a different one. (Which must be compatible of course and made for the device specifically)
6. Yes, but only on a rooted and unlocked device.
7. It's advised/needed to wipe CACHE not cash hehe which can easily be done by selecting "wipe cache partition" in CWM (recovery mode)
About roms, I would recommend either CM 10.1 RC1 + WerewolfJB kernel or just WerewolfJB which already has that kernel installed. (There are also some other nice roms and kernels but I did not try them yet so I cannot tell you. I just tried those 2 and they are great)
Read some of these guides.

you cleared some of the fog on my mind , will try those guides
Np at all. Yes do that, they are great and easy to understand.
Hello everybody,
First of all: I have rooted some devices before, often in very bad conditions (Softbricked ones, simlocked and branded ones et cetera). However, all of them were not mine.
My smartphone is the Samsung Galaxy Note w/o branding or simlock but with the original Samsung software.
There wasn't really a reason to root my phone up to the point when it broke down (ergo: Shut itself down, reinstalled everything) on one day a few months ago, since that day, my phone has got a really, really bad battery life, apps are destroyed and it is pretty slow. Built-in obsolescence, as I won that phone when it was released, so I got the earliest version.
Because of this, I want to root dat phone and install dat cyanogen-shizzle.
All the phones I rooted before were rooted with my untested and never-recommended method of rooting it with a exploit on the phone, putting up clockworkmod via rom manager and then flashing cyanogen. Sometimes the phone was going crazy, but it always worked, every phone is working way better than ever before.
However, I read some real horror-stories about hardbricks on the Note as Samsung did some really bad work as always. (My next phone will be a Nokia Lumia anyway.)
So, what I wanted to ask: Can I root my phone and then install clockworkmod via ROM manager and then install the ROM via Clockworkmod without being exposed to an enormously high risk of a hard brick? My phone is currently on Android version 4.1.2.
I checked the phone with "Got Brickbug" and yes, I'm having it.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
M24o (No, this name is not inspired by a weapon..)
Best, easiest and hassle free way to get root and custom recovery is to download the philz kernel (the one corresponding to your ROM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
you can do wipe, flash any custom rom, backup, restore and many more things on this.
Edit: download the zip file, put on ext sd, go to recovery select install zip from external storage, choose philz .zip file and that is it.

Thank you, I've just read the thread, what I really like about it is that I can flash it from the phone. Thanks alot for this, those threads are the ones I am always looking for hours (and then find them) to make rooting bearable for my.
Thank you!
Hi!
I encountered some issues with my battery. With a regular use of it, my battery can not last longer than 12/15 hours. Wifi/bluetooth/3g are never activated when I don't use them, and my screen luminosity is always on the minimum setting. After I checked on the internet what was wrong with the battery, I found out that its lifetime can be increased by installing a custom ROM, that's how I learned about Cyanogenmod.
I would like install Android 4.2.2 Kit Kat on my phone but I don't really know how to do it. I know that I need to root my phone but all the tutorials I found out about it was for the i8190 version of the phone (and I got the 8190NXXAB1) or seemed outdated (from 1 yr ago). I don't want to "kill" my phone by doing something stupid so it would be so nice of you if you guys could explain me how to root my phone and then how to install CM 11... I'd really appreciate it cause this battery issue is a real problem to me since it can't last the whole day...
Thanks by advance!

You don't need to root the phone to install a new ROM - just:
1. Use ODIN
2. Install custom recovery
3. Dalvik and wipe
4. Flash ROM
5. Enjoy!
maclaw.pl has good instructions and downloads for all the tools including good quality ROMs for i8190N (although NFC may not work) - same model as my phone. I bit the bullet and went custom only last week, happy with Carbon at the moment
If you want better instructions with pictures, just google "flash a custom ROM with Odin" or something similar, there are plenty out there.

Thanks man for your answer, really helpful!
I searched for some instructions on Maclaw's website but I didn't find anything... Maybe the instructions are included in the ROM archives? (edit: found the instructions )
On many tutorials people were saying that it is needed that the phone is rooted, you sure I can install cm 11 without it? Also, they were talking about some apps like ClockworkMod, is it not needed too? (i don't have any SD card)
Anyway thanks I'll take a more deeper look at that tomorrow
PS: Apologize my english

Just follow Maclaw instructions and you'll be ok. I believe they already include TWRP recovery so you don't need CWM.
Also if you want to say thanks just hit the "Thanks" button on my post
Maclaw´s rom are pre-rooted, that means you´ll get root-access automatically if you flash them. The gapps include all Google APPS (=Gapps), they´re not included in the rom nativly.
as @james.faction says, flash it like Mac tells you on his site, and you´ll be fine
