[Q] Some questions regarding new update and rooting.

Hello.
I've rooted my phone a while back and currently have Recovery 3.0.2.4. Everytime I try to install a new ROM, i go into a boot-loop and I have to reload my Froyo based ROM.
I've just read that Gingerbread came out on the MT4G and I was wondering if its worth un-rooting my phone (if thats possible), to get this update. I'm not making much use of ROMs because I always get bootloops. This is probably due to the fact that I never have a version that works on both Froyo and Gingerbread based ROMs as I don't know where to find one.
If you guys were in my situation, what would you do?

The newest 3.x.x.x Recovery image will handle both 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs. Are you verifying the MD5SUM of the download prior to flashing them?

I don't know exactly how to do that. I don't see Md5 sums on ROM manager, where I'm attempting to download the C7 Mod.

[Q] I need a new Kernel

Hello everybody.
I got a milestone 2 some months ago and I had a working cyanogenmod 7 on it until I decided to try MIUI ROM. I was on a downgraded gingerbread kernel (thanks to endless7) and I tried to reflash an ITA 2.3.4 sbf. It didn't work. Then I was desperate and decided to try to flash a CH gingerbread kernel... This doesn't seem to work, even if I try to flash the chinese SBF.
Could anyone help me??? Thanks in advance!

up! still need a working gingerbread kernel to flash with RSD...thanks guys

Up! Nobody going to help? Please!

Now you know what "low activity devices" mean
Honestly, I did not understand what you did. Lemme try paraphrasing and see if I understand what your problem is.
You were on CM7. You mean Endless7 version I suppose coz that is the one with GB kernel. You decided to try MIUI. This is where I lost you. Were you able to downgrade, or you are just saying that your kernel is downgrade-able???
Second thing that I don't quite understand is what you mean that flashing with SBF does not seem to work. Did the flash process fail or the process was successful but you were not able to boot up your phone?? If it is the latter, wiping data from android recovery should help you boot up your device.

A big problem

hello guys i'm from slovenia so and i don't know very well english to apologise
i have a big problem with my huawei i installed the cwm and wiped then i try installed cyanogenmod 9 but there was a problem installation was not successfully i was very confused so i downloaded the original 2.3 firmware from huawei.com and i paste orginal boot.img and recovery.img in pink screen then i try to instaled it but i've have pitcs but why i followed the instructions ( i formated the sc card and paste the rom in it) and then is a warnig whin an triangle update failed
so can anybody help me and tell me what can i do to fix this
Thank you !!!

wowww,wait a little.where did you find a cyanogenmod 9 rom? was it from another phone? if yes,maybe that's why the installation failed.
also,everything else you did was kinda wrong
i bet you can only try installing the official 2.3.5 firmware following the instructions included in huawei package and after that if the phone boots up correctly there are a lot of users here(including me) willing to help you

it was for this phone for the pro version and everything so what are is you'r proposal to do here ? can you give me please an custom (clockword and root images that you use and a rom that actually works i've have the pro version
Thanks !!!

I have the pro version too. I think I can help you.
Well the cwm I use is this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/genoandroid/files/recovery5.0.2.7_en_u8800pro.img/download
Geno made it so big thanks to him
As for working Custom Roms check the U8800 Pro Android Development Section,try any ROM you want and just stick with the one that suits you better Be sure to try out aurora(from sakura), kalo rom, gkalenis rom(it has tv-out) and if you can my roms
Anyway.Try using the custom recovery.img I gave you with the boot.img from the rom you flashed(if the phone boots you are good to go). If the phone doesn't boot reinstall official firmware

so if i understand you for example i just downloaded you first rom and recovery that you gave me now i replace the recovery and that boot.img that is in MoihackB572GBFinal.zip ?

almost.replace with the boot.img from the cm9 rom you flashed previously(it's inside the zip file)
sorry i didn't make this clear
make sure the phone boots after replacing those files in pink screen. if it boots correctly everything else is pretty easy. the important thing here is to get your phone work again

Moihack you'r a genius it actually works and i lied it wasn't cm9 it was cm7 from geno ''cm-7.2.0-u8800pro-Geno-120604-final'' it's chinese-english but it works. so i have a question now which rom do you advise me and thanks a lot !!!

well glad i was able to help! you are welcome
my 2nd rom is based on the cm7 you tried but is free from all apps(only basic ones left) and is actually a pretty small one(about 60mb).you can try it if u want to
now the roms i like is the aurora ics from sakura(it is pretty stable and fast for ics) and horse absolute (made by gkalenis). horse rom also has tv-out option but you have to downgrade to 2.2,re-root,install cwm and flash it in order to work properly(otherwise camera use will cause reboot of the phone).
anyway.if you like ics,feel free to try aurora (don't try the official ics from huawei yet)
if you want froyo and tv-out go with horse rom
if you like gingerbread,well try my roms
btw i am cooking another 2 roms these days(a mokeeOS and a miui 2.3.30 ) so keep an eye on u8800 pro development section if you want

[Q] Roms ( New user )

Hello everyone I'm new here I just recently rooted my Galaxy S4 i9500 and I want to put in cool speedy Rom.
I also heared that I can combine it with lolipop or something? I dont realy understand it yet I hope you can explain it to me help me choose what's best for me without bricking my phone....
Also I would like to know what apps I must have after rooting or what apps you recommand for me?
Any help will be aprreciate thanks for all !

Start reading as much as you can on this forum and learn from it.
You won't brick your phone, that's almost impossible. That has never happend when flashing custom roms.
Just flash a custom recovery for the i9500 and start flashing the rom you want to try. Always read the first post of the rom and probably the last few pages of the thread.

First of all thank you for the reply, Finaly!
Someone offered me the omni rom with lolipop.
I mainly looking for speedy tweakinish rom and it seems awsome,
but maybe there more roms even better?
also I saw you need to delete anything from the phone
b4 you put a new rom so my question is how I save the
important apps and data and if i can skip all the crap i used to have??

Question

Some questions about rooting, custom roms etc.

Hello.
First I'd like to say that i haven't ever tried anything like rooting my phone or custom roms so that you know what you're dealing with
Lately I've been bored with my s8 plus(SM-G955F). Was even considering buying a different phone but then i remembered reading about rooting and custom roms so i thought i might give it a try.
I've been reading a bit about rooting and roms but all the information and methods can be a little overwhelming for someone like me who doesn't really know what he's doing. Basically i need help.
While looking for custom rom i'd like to try i settled on renovate ice and i have some questions.
Do i need to root before flashing a custom rom or does the rom come rooted already?
From what i understand i have to start with installing TWRP with odin but what then? root or rom?
Basically if anyone would be kind enough to provide some links with steps i need to take to install that rom and root my device and not mess it up i'd be grateful.
In case you need it I'm on the latest OTA i've received.

Hello there , you do not need to root your to flash a custom rom . All you need is to backup your data for you own safety and flash TWRP recovery through Odin probram . Renovate ice is most famous and stable rom you can try . It has same UI as the stock rom . Little changes only you might wont see me . If you want to change UI you should for another rom . Also root comes with the rom inbuild, specificaly renovate ice has two options to chose, magisk or supersu . Personally i prefer Magisk before through this app ' you can' modify your system, its like xposed framework.

So I installed TWRP like in the video.
Everything seemed to work i had a clean install of stock ore with twrp. When i tried to boot into twrp i had the "only official binaries" bootloop. So i flashed a bootloader and i was stuck on galaxy s8+ screen. Went into download mode to flash stock firmware but can't do anything. Stuck in download mode and can't flash anything now... How do i get out of it?
Edit:
Ok. Found a way to flash the bootloader. now I'm back to "only official binaries" bootloop.
Edit 2:
Ok managed to get everything to work. At least it appears so for now.
Had to flash nougat firmware then installed twrp, rom and root and it worked.
I thought something went wrong because it was very laggy but after rebooting it seems okay. We'll see how it goes from here.
Gonna google it and try to fix it but if anyone has any ideas i'd be grateful
