I don't mind you learn quickly, but if you done anything wrong to phone, Sorry alright because i'm not gonna be responsible to your actions to your device. so In your own Risk

If you search for 'x10 stock kernel' you should find a stock kernel with xrecovery. I found it a month ago, just don't remember where.

Relocking Bootloader oopsee
Mr, Whitefang, I made a little.. mistake, if you could call it that.. I had a buggy rom and wanted to reflash it, and without properly checking what rom i selected, I accidently selected the "X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf" in the menu, connected my phone, then realized I had just relocked the Bootloader..
The phone still starts up normally with custom Kernel and all, but I cant re-unlock it..
What on earth do I do?
EDIT:
Soo, I flashed it with the Kernel + baseband ftf file. and it started up normally.. I believe I might be able to unlock the BL again.. Im lucky I survived it...
Great guide.. Helped me unlock the BL in the first place...
Great guides, something I was looking for for a while now.
First problem (I'm a newbie), I was at Beginner 2 of 3 and at step 7, but the boot logo is stuck. But I did exactly what you told me to do. And I had the exact specs you defined. What should I do? I can't find a stock rom ftf because they're all down
Edit: Fixed it
Im totally new on LG devices..wish someone can help me here.. Now am on LG-D259 A.K.A L FINO.. Really regreted to have this device (nomore money) as i used to be samsungian. Srrms its not even have its own developements thread..
Its now Rooted with Purpledrake Tools. Thanks and credits goes to its creator..and srrms its not enough as no custom recovery yet..thats teally such a pain. After i search some info bout the processor specs i found that moto e has same snapdragon 200 inside. So some nice futures possiblity devs.
What i really need help wish that some of devs here can also support this device. Please make some recovery or may some of you just share an HOWTo builds custom revovery one. And do this device need to unlock bootloader too..as every tutor on how to unlock bootloader seems not works at all.
Hello, can someone try this tutorial to port MIUI rom? I have not got unlocked bootloader, so I can not try it. If there will be someone interest in this. Try it, please.

Wrong SECTION. You should have posted this in Questions & Answers
It is probably almost impossible:
1 ) We need clear AOSP as a base because if not there will be so freaking much bugs to resolve that it is not worth it
2 ) MIUI require special porting way for diferent socs there are diferent sources for snapdragon, diferent for mediatek but did not see any for our kirin
3 ) It need a lot of testing reainstalling so there need to be someone who can live without his p9 Lite
4 ) There is needed someone who knows how linux works and someone who know good miui rom
5 ) Maybe it would be possible with AOSP as a base but we dont have it and it is hard to port clear aosp so will not even sit with this
6 ) You have stock EMUI which is similar you dont need MIUI
7 ) I dont have actually time to even put linux in virtual machine so wont do this
8 ) This thread is in wrong section so need to be moved to q&a but I think I answered you question
9 ) Even if it is possible you will not even try this because you have locked bootloader. So if you will unlock it to install rom so why not to unlock it now and build it on your own? Just learn how to do this. For me on my old phone it did get a week to have a booting rom. But there was clear AOSP. Here I dont know will be longer so go ahead and good luck
OK changed my mind. Will try to build based on cm13 but nothing to promise and dont know when will find some time so dont expect anything
Thank you for your post

Not in the near future, since bootloader is locked (cant flash custom recoveries) and no sources available, even for the kernel. (cant build custom roms) This device is also missing the community support.
My hopes are that when Oreo is released, sources for 7.0 would be released and the bootloader will be unlocked. Maybe then it will attract more developers.

Hi all
Im looking fir a very light rom for my zte blaze a5 2019 . ( I flashed a stock rom and the phone is very dlow now)
Thanks
First we need to gain root, after that we can flash stuff. I tried various ways, one is to ask zte for the signature to unlock bootloader, another was asking hydra team to port bootloader unlock for this model, and they are working on it, I just asked today. Or we can use an exploit but it needs to be ported so we need someone who knows how to do it and get him to work on it. We can do a bug bounty like has been done for LG v20. They done a bug bounty and who obtained root access has been paid. The money were taken from who donate so they aren't a problem. Btw I extracted kallsyms:https://www.mediafire.com/file/pbm0nvptr3w8eab/kallsyms-4.4.147%2B_%28armv7l%29.txt/file
