I am a noob here, having no experience whats so ever about flasing roms.
I bought y700 from Aliexpress and you guys probably know it came with this fake "Global" rom which restricted a lot of og functions from the tablet.
As far as I know from browsing this Thread
1. its better to just flashing the original chineses rom back right?
2. I have found this steps by steps guide
link Is it fine to just follow this?
3. Do I need to learn some knowledges before doing this? if yes, i will be really appreciated if you guys can also provide the specific links to them.
Thank you in advance.

Can you give me a super noob step-by-step tutorial about this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902323
I'm in Asia so i think that it will benefit me if i do this. But the problem is I have no clue on how. It's just my 2nd week of having an android so i don't know anything about them. But I really need the voice as well as the 3g and HSDPA function of the tab.
Can anyone help me with this one? I will gladly appreciate it and will hit your thank you button in the process.
Go to the developement forum, find overcome rom, doesn't matter which one then you will find, at the bottom of the 1st post, a link to the overcome site that has the guide to flashing to gingerbread through ODIN. It also has links to all the files needed.
BEFORE FLASHING HOWEVER, GO HERE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 AND USE THE BOOTLOADER CHECK APK. It could be the difference between a brick and a successful flash...
One bit of advice, if you don't understand something, ask a question in the QA forum, NEVER in developement forum, You will be flamed and possibly reported. Make sure you read and follow steps EXACTLY or you may end up with a brick...
Cheers....
if I follow this, would i be able to have HSDPA on my galaxy tab tmobile here in asia?
Hello guys, as you can see I am new to the forum and new to android in general. [Used to be an iOS fanboy] I have recently acquired an LG Optimus Black but i'm unhappy with the stock ROM provided by LG.
I have a few questions:
1) What are my options for rooting the device?
2) Once rooted, what custom ROMs are currently available for the device?
3) If I flash a new ROM is it possible and what would I need to have/do to restore the device back to the stock ROM?
And lastly...
4) What is the chance of fully bricking the device and what are my options if the device gets bricked?
Thanks a lot, [Hope this was the right section and hasn't been asked before...]

All was asked and ANSWERED before. Move your a** and search for it.
I have searched actually. The questions that have been answered aren't specific to my situation and I know that small details are very important when flashing phones. If you aren't answering the question I guess what you posted would be considered spam?
Guys,
Please refrain from bickering, two ways this can be easily resolved:
1. Use google search with the word xda in it to find your answer
2. Rather than posting move your a** and find it, if you know the link or answer, why not help a brother out?
I will say no more on the matter, its that simple.
THanks.

No point arguing..if you don't wanna help just ignore.
If you wanna reply, make sure it helps others.
1) What options? It's either you root or you don't. Either way, your phone works.
2) Currently there's only NOVA Rom by knzo.
3) Read this thread here.
4) Chances of bricking are slim if you read before attempting anything. If in any case your phone is bricked (boot loop), refer to the above.
Hope it helps.
Welcome to the Android community
Thank you very much for the very active response and information.... I am also studying these issues.

Exactly what I needed, thanks a lot!
I've heard a lot of the current roots don't work for the OB?
And is NOVA the ONLY ROM at the moment, I thought I heard about another one?
Older firmwares, you can use Gingerbreak. If it doesn't work, then most probably you're on the newer firmwares. Then use SuperOneClick.
The other one is Pays ROM. It's been abandoned.
It needs v10b Firmware to run. If you're not familiar, stick to Nova ROM.
Cyanogenmod is in progress (i hope so)

I am not sure if this question is suitable for this forum. If it is not, will someone please direct me someplace where I can get the advice I seek?
I just got a Samsung Galaxy Light phone for use with MetroPCS, and am looking to install a particular compatible theme I found in the Play Store. It is a paid theme, so although I'm not advertising it (I have nothing to do with its creation or maintenance or anything,) I'm not sure if I'm allowed to name or link to it in my question.
Basically, the theme seems to require one of several custom ROMs be installed on my phone, which must first be rooted. I have already bricked one phone of this model trying to get this process done before I really understood which ROM I needed and which custom Recovery was required to install that ROM. I am looking to avoid a similar phone-bricking disastrophy with this new phone.
So, the question is, is there anyone here who knows this topic well, who is willing to give me advice on the steps to do this in the safest possible way? I have searched and searched on the internet, but every thread, post or article I find seems either incomplete, specific to a different kind of phone, requiring the use of a custom Recovery not compatible with any of the ROMs I can use, or require certain previous knowledge which a rooting-and-ROMs n00b like myself does not have.
Once again, if this is not the place for this then I apologize, and can you please tell me where I can find advice on this?
If this is the correct place to ask such questions, and you need more specifics (the theme I want to use, the ROMs with which it's compatible, etc.) please ask for the specifics and I will provide them as best I can. If sharing links to these things is just not allowed, I would be fine talking to someone experienced about it via Private Message, or whatever else is appropriate.
Thank you for your time,

I just got the A71 and instead of tweaking One UI i want to go straight to Lineage. The thing is i come from iPhone and i don't understand anything about flashing Androids. I have an IT background though, i'm a web dev and i've flashed my Nintendo Wii several times. I know this is totally different but i mean i understand tech and i'm cautious, i'm not a Karen (?
That said, i've read this guide but i don't know how nor in which step to load the Lineage ROM.
If someone can clarify me the updated steps for achieving that, i'll appreciate it and bet that other forum lurkers will too.
Thanks in advance!
(sorry for my english)

So why not look in the 'guides' forum and follow the guide that's already been used by so many? You can read the comments to know what issues others have run into, pretty much everything is in there.
Put some effort into it, if you get stuck, ask questions in that forum / guide.
