if u want to flash other custom rom no need for u to root ur phone because usually custom ROM already rooted
just make sure to read the rom author's instructions regarding the installation procedure and follow it directly,
not all custom roms have generic installation procedures

Hi to everyone. I'm sorry, probably this question has been asked lots of times, but I'm not expert in flashing devices, roms, etc.
I've a Branded Galaxy Y which code is GT-S5369 (instead of 5360), and I would like to know: Are the firmwares in this forum compatible also with my phone? And do I have to do any specific procedure in order to install a Custom ROM, or does it work in the same way of non-branded ones? That's the ROM I want to install: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757125&page=264 .
Thank you :fingers-crossed:
you can only try it - unless someone has that device you probably wont get an answer
take note of your stock rom baseband in case you need to flash stock rom via odin
I had a look and your stock rom is probably S5369BULL1 or something like that - check about phone in phone settings
you can download that stock rom firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares but you will need to split it with the splitter tool to be able to flash it via odin
the link to the splitter tool is on dokys thread at the top of the dev section for odin firmwares

Thank you for the reply. My stock rom is the one you said, I've downloaded it from sammobile I've read in other websites that it is necessary to de-brand the phone installing the GT-S5360 stock rom XXKL3; is it actually the best way to do it? Sorry for the questions but I want to be sure of what I'm doing.

Debrand basically means to remove all bloat apps that providers bundle with the phone that are really of no use
I use xxlk3 as it's one of the latest UK firmware
Make sure you make a nandroid backup in cwm before you flash anything - you can then restore your phone back to it's previous state if necessary by restoring the backup in cwm

Well, as I understood, debrand is not an important thing for installing Custom ROMs.
Anyway, I succeeded to install the Evo-X 4.2.0 rom, just unlocking the root, putting the file into the SD and applying it via CWM. Nothing simpler than that. Thank you for the kindness, there was not any problem with it

Custom Roms should be pre-rooted no need to root again unless you have problems
Enjoy
I think they are compatible

To flash a Custom ROM there is no need to root, the only thing you need is to install a custom recovery, TWRP is very good. After you have installed TWRP or any other custom recovery, you have to put on your SD Card the ROM that you want to install, and install it from the custom recovery.

Could you advise me on where I can locate these files? New the the Samsung flashing scene. Assuming it's fairly straight forward? Thanks for the reply

Please have a read of these forums before posting questions like this. It is detailed many times, there are many tutorials on how to do this. No it is not straightforward if you do not know what your doing, and since you are posting questions like this i'd be hesitant to advice you to continue

I'm not an idiot but thanks for the concern. I'll do some digging. If you have nothing positive to say then please keep your comments to yourself. Go and Police someone else's thread. Thank you

Not really, you should have flashed a custom recovery before rooting. Formatting the system is just bad advice fullstop.
As i said before, there are many tutorials on this, but the general method is unlock bootloader (through developer options), flash custom recovery (through odin, note that this will trip knox counter), use custom recovery to install custom ROM and/or kernal, which in 9/10 cases includes root.
Personally i've never played with a LDU so im not sure on how/if you can unlock bootloader easily
I root the device with twrp supersu and ElementalIX, how can I unroot? Could someone tell me how or give me a link to another post or video?
And maybe a tutorial to flash the stock rom

In super su settings you can unroot. The stock rom guides are in guides section. Be aware you flash the rom suited for your device, don't downgrade!
Please don't post same question multiple times!
I'm starting the rooting process tomorrow. I wanted to know if starting on 7.0 can I just flash an Oreo ROM or do I have to do something specific first?
Thanks in advance!!

First, it sounds like you need to do a little more research, because you don't need to root at all if you are going to flash a custom ROM, you only need TWRP. You only need to root if you are going to use the stock ROM and want root for something there.
General rules... Backup... Backup.. Backup... Before you do ANYTHING, after you unlock the device boot TWRP (don't flash it) and backup the device, then store it somewhere safe. Then you can flash TWRP and any ROM you wish.
Remember that we do not have a current firmware image, so going back to pure stock is a real PITA and re-locking the bootloader is currently impossible, so tread carefully.
first of all u need more research about u want to do, because theres no root on stock rom on moto g5 plus, u need to install TWRP and then install any rom and then flash the root app
here in XDA exit some tool called moto g5 plus toolkit, firstof all just for people like u dont brick theirs phones and second, for being more simplyfied the process of root
good luck
