[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

Latest in upgrading your galaxy tab to gingerbread...

Hi, guys!
I don't 'wonna disturb all you hard working developers and other users, but as I was going thru all the sources it seemed like a good waste of time and I think it should all be rewritten for a simpler use...
IF YOU OWN A GSM TAB AND WISH TO UPGRADE IT TO 2.3.3. GINGERBREAD, THEN FOLLOW THIS:
1. Flash your GSM TAB GP-T1000 (only) with the following instructions:
2. There is an upgrade to this ROM, the "RC1" pack (use it at your own risk), at the following link:
As I myself had gone all the way round all this and finally came to the above mentioned procedures, I was lucky enough not to brick my tab, yet following some procedures made me do a repair described at the following links:
MY PROCEDURE, MY EXPERIENCE:
1. I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083971
2. Then I was made to do the following to repare the damage from "step 1":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854
Finally I had discovered the methods mentioned at the beginning of this posts, which are more reliable and to the point...
Hope this helps all of you, who did not make it to the 2.3.3. yet...
Edit : already mod look at it
+1 for me the firmware provided by the OP in that forum were error free when I tried them. I was new to flasing then.
Yet I am quite surprised that you are allowed to make a comparison between that forum and xda.
Also why would you recommend an upgrade using a non official firmware? JQ1 is quite outdated now.

All necessary links, already contained in two guides.
@ the OP...
Whilst we appreciate you taking the effort to put this guide together with the intention of helping people out. I feel that its probably wise to close the thread as this information is already available from older more established threads.
Theres also the fact that some users may be confused at being directed off site for a tutorial then being directed back to XDA to download a file....
Please dont take this personally its just that I think it would be better for new users to follow an older guide thread where most of the likely questions have already been asked and answered
Cheers

[Q] Building my own CyanogenMOD ROM

Well, it's all in the title and I'm sure it has been asked but I'd like it to be more HD2-specific.
Can someone point me to a blog, xda thread or wiki that explains how to cook your own CM rom ? HD2 related or something that would do.
I know a lot of threads that tells you where to start and what to do...but not much explaining the process all the way through, in order to understand it.
Any help on this ?
Thanks !
Well nothing ?
its been less than 24 hours
google is problem your best option or sending a message to one of the actual devs and waiting for a reply
Yeah I already contacted one...
Don't get me wrong: I've done some research but it's hard to encounter a step-by-step guide or a real bible.
Thanks.
yeah it is difficult to find the info, there are kitchens available but they dont really give you information on how to write the scripts etc which i think comes down to just having the knowledge of where to start and what to look for to modify/hack
Exactly. Wiki's tend to tell you "type this in terminal" but why I should do it, that they don't say. Of course, they can't explain every specitif command but at least the ones really related to the cooking rom process...

HTC One M7 GPE

This thread is about the upcoming update of the GPE One m7... I'd like yo put forward the idea for someone who has the device to capture the update and zip it so that we may all get it sooner rather than later.. I know someone probably already has the idea to do it.... But whatever.
Thread closed - this is already covered here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/htc-planning-to-roll-lollipop-to-m7-gpe-t2940490
Please avoid creating duplicate threads.
Thanks

[DISCUSSION] CM 12.1 Meizu M2 Note

Hello guys, I have created this thread to discuss about the CM12.1 by @Moyster, so we don't flood the thread's ROM with useless messages regard our problem with the devices, and leaves that only for developer things
I hope to have done a good move by opening this thread. If there are some problems, if I done something wrong, sorry in advance.

I don't think it was really necessary but it's up to you
The rom thread is not a "dev-only" thread (or I would've restrained who can post, there's options for that at least) but most of the users are simply new or didn't read the rules, and therefore simply come in the thread and ask "what about this ?" when there's already 45 pages and a Search Feature, for example to find infos about the battery consumption.
If people don't take the time to understand that, it will forever continue, hence it's still better to keep the discussions on topic because I don't especially have time to read a dozen threads to have returns about my rom.
Regarding bug issues, recurrent problems and things like that, I already made it clear on the rom thread HOW TO SUBMIT BUG ISSUES, but obviously that's the same as my previous paragraphe
This thread would be way more useful if it was a summary of all tips and tricks for the device / rom, a clean formatted post that links to "how to volume speaker", "how to wipe", etc...
Greetings

Ok, I understand your opinion, but I haven't time to mantain a thread like the one you adviced. I created this thread to group all users so that they help with each other.
So, it's better if this thread is deleted and recreated the one you mentioned by someone.
And thank you for your work!
As I think this thread might be useful for those noobs on Android And thank you again for your hard work @Moyster
By the way, seems Audio FX has crashes some times on my device. And I may to tell you that the baseband for international version of m571 might be different from those in China, for we're using TD-SCDMA network for 3G on CMCC(China Mobile). Someone recently tested a MIUI8 rom on 4pda and met the problem on baseband. And what's this for? http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/meizu-m2-note
And it seems m2 note is the only Meizu device (except meizu m2 mini) which has truly unlocked bootloader. And if anyone needs factory firmware or original Flyme firmware for SP Flash Tool ,I can offer that.

You could try to replace the firmware files and if that works for you, make a flashable zip for other chinese users maybe ?
