Designing a SPL -> HardSPL Tutorial

Hey - Sorry for crossposting, but I'm not really getting any feedback or attention on the other forum, so I'm wondering if this is a good place instead.
I am trying to make a HardSPL for my LIBRA - As far as I can tell there's none available, so I've decided to put down my step-by-step method to get there.
I would love programmers' feedback, comments, etc. - I feel that my steps could be ported to other devices to provide a stepping stone for other members of the community to help out with development/testing resources for new devices.
My post is here:

HTC Magic help (Vodafone)

Helooooo
I'm a complete noob (but quite bright ) so thank-you for your patience in adavnce.
HTC Magic, love the phone, hate the operating system. Is there any way i can load a new operating system onto it say the 'HERO' software for example?
I want it to do soo much more like Bluetooth push etc.. but it runs out os steam.
Can anyone out there give me an idiots guide on how to do this and any fail safes, i.e; backing up current operating system with a view to re-install if thing go wrong!"??
Many, many thanks in advance

[Q] n00b flash guide

Hello Dear Community!
I am now preparing to dump my ****ty HD2 which is driving me crazy and move on to Desire Z. I've never used Android before. The Desire Z will surely attract more n00bs like me, so I guess it would be a good thing to start a sticki HOWTO thread for n00bs. Every popular Android device has a thread like that, so DZ must too!!! As for current progress, I am aware that full rooting is not yet possible, but flashing ROMs is already possible, right? So Can someone start a n00b HOWTO thread with detailed n00b FLASH HOWTO guide, and of course then expand it with other stuff like root, when its available. If this is a double thread, please forgive me, point me to the right thread and delete this one Thanks!

I wish........

Don't worry mates,
the Desire Z is no exception and you can bet you WILL get your tutorial !!
It's just too early to ask for it, because development is just starting
First, we need permanent root (Luckily enough, our mates @ sibling G2 forums are very advanced on this shizz).
Then, a tweaked bootloader.
From there on it will be sweet flashing whores paradise
PS: Keep an eye @ android development forum

[Q] rooting

I know that this is a developers forum, so I figure that I can get some good advice here. I have found this rooting procedure at android authority .com. Is it good. What is it missing

Dont need to start a new thread for what is a very popular question and has lots of other threads for it.
Suggest you try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889 if you are doing this on a Winbox.

This guide is excellent as well.

Blu Advance 4.0 Root and Xposed Info

Hey all,
Just putting it out there as I just brick my Blu studio c because of lack of information, The BLU ADVANCE 4.0 (a270a) (v07) can used the Standard Xposed and frameroot (both can be found here, search) and they work fine!!!, Did the root yesterday, and Xposed today....
And Since I Bricked my good phone believe I was Extremely worried (and stressed when I clicked "DO IT") that I'd have another Brand new Brick for my collection....
Hope this helps someone out there...
And Hope XDA starts supporting a More Individualized BLU Series of Forums.....There's ALOT of BS info out there (I.E. 1st Brick), and XDA has been my "Go TO" to get stuff done for MANY years....

Hi Mike
As users we can not do very much, but we can try to document any stuff that we found about any strange phone we got on the Wiki.
For example I had wrote this little page for the Blu Advance 4.0 Model: A270A Type: 01 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Blu_Advance_4.0_-_A270A
Using the wiki is very simple and it does not have be a perfect article to start, it can be improved over time.

Ya I really don't have time to do stuff like that (I run a Development forum for Android), But your link is good, We Need to Get this On XDA and WIKI, I've done Hundreds of Roots/Flashes, On various devices over the years. and I'll admit the Blu Studio C is the First I haven't recovered from the grave, But I have Hope I did speak to the providerr of the rom for my phone and have been advised that the Rom is SPFlash Tools Compat (I have to wait till me T-Mo Throttle is over (34-36 Hrs to DL, Be Advised thos who are thinkiong Of T-Mo!)), If you check Needrom under the D860U (Memory Slipping again, But Check The Post for the Blu Studio C), He's the one that got me root rooted and When I tried to flash a Custom Recovery is When The Fail Started.... And the one that Provided the stock rom on Needrom.....
I'm thinking In general, We Need A Standard BLU sub forum like Galaxy and All them, Be Honest that C was one of the best phones I've Ever owned, I looked around but I don't have the Qualifications to Start A Sub-thread like I've used here many times, Or maybe I just dunno how, But even if I did, I don't have that knowledge... I'll learn and contribute when I can... But In the Future I See It's gonna be needed here...
And Although it's not the greatest BLU GOOGLE DEVELOPMENT on Google+ is a little help, But To Be Honest The Whole Internet Isn't much Help With this Brand,,,
Mike

Update
Also I just start getting Notif's of an "V08" update on The Advance 4.0, And I'm not doing it, So If anyone has, Please Let Us (me) Know....
Mike
