[Q] how do i flash a custom rom - GT540 Optimus General

Hey guys
I wanna flash my lg swift with 2.3.2. But I don't know how to? All I know is that I need to get a rom with fastboot enabled and then I must install recovery and then I flash. But how I do all this? Is there a tutorial some where that explains me how to do it? I searched everywhere.
Phone. Lg gt540 rooted and has android 2.1 v20b
THANKS IN ADVANCED

There are plenty of threads already explaining this. You need KDZ updater. The 2.1 ROM with fastboot. After you flash these with KDZ updater you will have a fastboot enabled ROM. Make sure your battery is FULLY charged before doing any o this or your indicator will get screwed...like mine. The you use fastboot to flash the ROM via ADB. That's the basics, now go look on the forums for more detailed descriptions as they are there.

Read, read more and search, that's what the search function is for.
Use framaroot to root you phone. There are a variety of ROMs in the development section. Try them.

ok ty

We need a proper root, unlock/relock flash guide.

I see plenty of people asking for rooting help etc. I think we need a proper guide on how to backup TA partitions on M & N. How to restore. How to flash recovery and kernels and in which order. Which tools do you need and where do you get them and when everything is set and done, how to flash a rom.
A step-by-step guide.
I see answers like "just unlock and do this and that" which isn't answering peoples questions. And the result is just people asking "and how do i do that?" and the loop of replies with no content continues. I'd be more than happy to help, but havn't had the device for long, nor have i done anything to it yet. So i'm hardly the right person to do so, yet.
Why are you speaking for these 'plenty of people'? I don't see anyone asking, it's only you because you don't put effort into looking up and reading and you want everything to be served in your plate. Everything is very well written if you TRY to search for it.

Not true! For example, you can see 3 posts in a row asking for help (including mine) and noone answers. There ARE plenty of people who need help. And noone is helping. This is a useful post.

nobody is helping because there is plenty of information available on the xda forum. You'll just need to search read and learn.

If you read the question I posted, I said that for some people the information is not very clear and there are some things that haven't been specified. Especially for the xperia X, why are there so little threads and mods for it? Because it's new? Do you think there will be more mods and stuff in the future?

You should TRY and read the OP again, you clearly didn't get it.
And why i'm speaking for "those" people. Because no one else is. The difference is that i don't have any difficulties doing so, it doesn't bother me. You could've spend your time more productive coming up with suggestions to a possible solution, eliminating those "i need help rooting/flashing/blabla" threads. Whereas you choose the easy way and just be a prick about it.
you choose the easy way
I don't understand what's so wrong with helping some people out..

I'm very sorry dude but I have read so many threads and posts and didn't find any (recent) guide/way to root by recent I mean android nougat, and there is the camera mod for nougat so I am assuming you have nougat 7 rooted on your xperia X, why don't you just spend 5 minutes of your life to help a guy out.. please..

I posted this as a reply in an other thread for you:
kistigun said:
Here you can find unofficial twrp for xperia x:
http://www.infectedbuilds.net/downloads/suzu/twrp/
Install with fastboot command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After flashing this twrp you probably cant access data partion in twrp, to fix this boot into twrp, do a factory whipe and format data partition.
If you want to root flash latest SuperSU: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
If you want a modded kernel with DM-verity, RIC off, DRM fix, SuperSU & Busybox download this tool and follow instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...oot-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605

Thanks a lot!
In the future I will buy this phone but now without it I am unable to do some tutorial. I wish I had this phone right now because this phone is awesome and some days ago I destroyed my M4 Aqua. I am into unlocking bootloader, backing up and restoring DRM keys, flashing recovery and making working SuperSU. I did tutorial for M4 Aqua on my Czech forum but I wish I could it here on XDA.

okay, so I can spend some time to write a noob friendly guide on saturday including information about things that troubled me too
=)) finally, I will give you a guild for step by step:
A. backup and restore:
1. fall backup to MM with flashtools (find script for your device)
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236
3. read inside topic to find restore code.
B. unlock:
1. go to this site https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ to get unlock code
2. turn on develop option (gg please) turn on oem unlock in this
3. follow sony intruction.
C Relock
relock ( use restore code in A) after that use flashtools to flash any firmware you want (like fall back MM)
ps: it is just a summary because you can fix any problem with gg in some other android devices.
ps2: dont use only one device forum to find your answer, try to find it from others. Because sony devices have same problem when flash OS )) or backup DRM and most them was answered so no one wanna write again again about same problem.
ps3: find to learn ^^.

I don't know if there is any specific instructions on here for HURUpdater ( someone else might require it )
I had some trouble finding much information on what to do with HURUpdater ( I eventually figured it out )
If there isn't any specifc instructions, do you think you could make a guide or should I make a guide?

Pro teammt ru firmware database, you need to find a full ota and download all 3 files. And then follow the instructions in the hurupdater thread.
Thanks Crayonicle,
There’s no firmware for this device. Can i find in another source ?
