Hi, I would like to install this rom, but I did not found a clear instruction. As I am not so familiar with flashing, I would appreciate if someone can explain step by step what a newcomer has to do, like: how to start, where to download the tools and roms and a step by step installation.
I searched the internet and some forums have instructions like this:
1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager or Amon_RA's recovery image (You MUST be NAND unlocked!)
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. Update your radio if necessary
4. WIPE
5. Install the ROM
5. Optionally install the Google Addon
but this installation steps are not clear. For example: Unlock (how, which tools, where to download), Clockwork recover and Rom Manager (where can I get the latest one, how do I use them), what is NAND unlocked, how do I do an Nandroid backup, how can I update my radio, how do I wipe, how do I instal the ROM and more important where do I get the latest ROM, what are the google addons and where can I found and download them?
I suppose, there are more people like me who will appreciate a clear and easy to understand installation!
Thanks in advance,
M.

In my thread there are more relevant instructions.
Hi
I try to figure out how exactly I can flash. As I am not familiar with a lot of things like wording, I don´t really know how to do it and the way of explaining is for me not clear enough to start flashing my wildfire.
For example I visit your thread [2.6.32.21] HCDR.Kernel v4 (Donate) and download the V4 Kernel. I thought it is on file which I start under windows and it does an automatic flash, like the Buzz Rom I used to remove the Vodafone branding - but I realized it is not like this.
I suppose I have to go more deep inside the topic and I wanted to avoid this.
The debrand thing you used is RUU. CM6 is not, so it's not automatic.

flashing instructions
I wouldn't mind seeing some more detailed instructions for various things as well. I have flashed my mobile a few times but \i want to flash the kernal so \I can OC on a stock ROM. Unfortunately, there isn't any detailed info on that which I can find.

Go to the hcdr kernel thread, read the instructions which clearly tell you version 4 and above is flashable to any rom... Dl and flash normally

true, but then again, we are looking for detailed info on how to do this.
like a tutorial for dummies, and that thread is not, they talk about compiling and stuff, i know what it is, but no idea how to do it.

you don't need to compile anything, that was for the previous versions and is for devs only, just flash the kernel v4.1 normally :S, if you read the OP carefully in that thread, you would understand...

I see what you mean.
So 4.1 can be flashed to any rom, and it is oc ready, it does not need to be compiled, it already is, the compiling story is for devs only, not us mere mortals.
and if i understood it correctly, then when htc pushes their 2.2 update out, it will install with no problem even tho you have another kernal.
I am so sure that Jacobs Thread covers any step of what to do.

Actually, it does not, it might do in a tech kinda way.
But where i had my doubts was knowing that flashing a kernel or installing another rom is done the same way, i thought it was two different procedures.
very simple to understand if you ask me. No tech knowledge needed
Cyanogenmod 7 nighly 22 rebooting problem
Hello Jacob
Thank you for the great work but i had a problem before 1-2 weeks i boot on my phone CM7 i was on CM 6 stable fore that and i didnt had any problem now when i boot nigtly build 22 after 1 day work my phone start to reboot everytime when it turns on when i stop my mobile network i didnt had a problem but with mobile it rebooting. what should i do ?
thank you
PS: i using your kernel 4.1 verion
Hey.
I'm having difficulties with new cyanogenmod 7.1
I Followed different tutorials and none of them helped me.
I started with stock 2.1 rom and did all the unlocking bootlader stuff , then installed custom kernel and managed to install cyanogenmod 7.1 but then occurred a funny thing . There was only FreeXperia logo showing up, nothing else, and it rebooted all the time. Then I flashed stock rom again and tried to understand what's wrong and tried to use different kernels and nothing.
So my question is. Is there anything I'm missing here?
Henri.
Full wipe after you install rom.
Dot forget to make backups first.
about that...
i always do full wipe after installing roms, so it has to be something else.
Thnks anyway..
But after browsing several topics in XDA forum I saw that I'm not only one with the problem.
If anybody has had the problems like I do and got the solutions, every kind of tips are welcome.
Thread closed
I got it all working, but I don't know what was the reason, because, I just did the whole thing again about three or four times, and then it just booted and worked.
I never could install Cyanogenmod in my phone... could you?
Hey!!!
I could write a total working tutorial how I managed to get to work everything, but it takes time, so if you want tutorial send me private message , so I create it for you.
Henri
Does wifi and/or 3G work for you longer then 15 minutes?
No, but at the moment I'm using RC1 flawlessly.

umm..why not post it publicly man ? It will be useful for everyone including myself.
Would also like that tutorial
ok,
i'm gonna post it here after finishing it.
So, the wanted tutorial is here!
Firstly it's for xperia x8(E15i) to be superclear.
I'm gonna put that tutorial into steps.
STEP 1
You need to have stock 2.1 rom with baseband XXX015 , if you don't have it, then go to Sony Ericsson's webpage and download the upload service and flash it back into your phone.
STEP 2
You phone has to be rooted. Easieset way is using Superoneclick(sorry, i'm not gonna provide the link, because it's just google-ing thing to you who need rooting program)
STEP 3
Now, everything comes to the unlocking process for bootloader. there is also tutorial how to succeed when using s1tool and msm7227 (if you have problem, then I don't know). Try to undestand the tutorial of doing it.
S1tool is for identifying if your phone is unlocked or not.
and msm7227 is for unlocking
tut is here - LINK
I wish luck, don't brick your phone, but it's not so hard to understand tutorials if you have right phone and right tutorial.
STEP 4
I totally suggest to install stable rom. The reason is that released 7.1 has bugs and incompatibility with some phones and i haven't got wifi and 3g working , but tried different roms and kernels.
I provide links i got from deani77, big thanks to him.
You can try this link for FXP028 ROM - http://www.multiupload.com/IIWIPG1ALH
For FXP030 kernel try this link - http://hotfile.com/dl/132650338/7b17...USTOM.ftf.html
(that release is RC1 of Cyanogenmod 7.1 but I think it's the best at the moment!)
and you download all the files as usual. Rom zip package should be in the SD card's root folder, so you can easily install it after flashing kernel
STEP 5
installing is quite simple actually. You need to use flashtool that is provided with rom(link in step 3)
firstly you flash kernel. Kernel file is the one you downloaded .ftf file. You have to put that file(X8_custom.ftf) into firmware folder which is inside of flashtool folder.
Then you open flash tool and you click FLASH, then appears little window and you click ok and then you need to plug in your phone into usb while holding down back button. Your phone has to be off when you are doing that. Then flashtool identifies your phone and will flash the kernel into your phone. when everything comes smooth then you now have fxp custom kernel. it has clockworkmod recovery and you need to click several times back button when FreeXperia logo appears.
STEP 6
You have to do factory reset and format, also i suggest from advanced menu using format system.
Then you select from the recovery menu install custom zip... and you browse your rom .zip file and if everything is OK then it should display "installing update or smth" if it's done then good for you, you reboot and it should work.
IF YOU WANT GOOGLE APPS , then google the link and install it same way you did with the rom. You can do it any time.
..
So if anything is not understandable then ask. I'm not an expert or anything, I just did things like I described.
Best,
Henri.
i have still had problems with bootloop and passing md5 checksum any idea on how to fix this?
mm.. at the moment I don't know but what that md5 checksum means?
I fixed my bootloop issue when I flashed back to stock rom, then I just did all the steps I describe again (not unlocking bootloader because it was unlocked already) .. but I don't know what's really does the bootlooping thing. I just got lucky. It took me like billion hours until I got it working...
Stuck on "ACER" logo at boot...won't boot & pc can't see it.
If I go into recovery I get: Android Guy & Box with arrow then a triangle with explanation point.
I was running ICS Rooted OTA.
I was trying to return the tablet to stock ICS & Boot Loader, when I messed things up.
(Sold Tablet--Need to restore it to factory look & feel.)
If someone could please advise I'd GREATLY appreciate it.

Have you tried to restore HC boot loader on an ICS rom. Don't worry just download one of the update package from the following link. As you mentioned you were on ICS rom then try ICS update only as it will update boot loader back to ics. Decrypt the file using Acer decrypter on the same link. Place the update.zip on your externel SD and then boot in recovery. Let other recovery install the update file.

Only Acer logo
Hi all,
i have the problem that the A500 does nothing else but show the Acer logo.
The only thing i can do is use TWRP.
What did i try:
I tried flashing some roms using TWRP, also some older ones but no luck.
I tried using an empty SD-card and then start with Volume - and Power but no luck
What can i do...i am stuck...
Anyone? Still have a non-working Iconia 500...boohoo
Is it an option to flash it with Clockworkmod / CWM, reboot, flash it with an Acer ROM ?

Well, telling us you've "tried some other ROMs" and have had "no luck" is pretty much telling us nothing at all.
What ROMs -exactly-?
What -exactly- do you do in TWRP?
What version of TWRP?
-Exactly- what error messages do you get?
What bootloader do you have? Sounds to me like you might have the HC bootloader when trying to install a stock ICS ROM. This is not going to work, period.
If you want help, you've got to provide enough info to help you.
Hi FloatingFatMan,
thanx for your answer.
I tried TWRP v2.1.0 with following roms:
Acer_A500_4.010.42_7.006.01_COM_GEN1
Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1
cm-9-20120708-UNOFFICIAL-a500
recovery-ra-iconia-3.17-
gnm
Today i updated TWRP to v2.2.0 using openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-picasso-signed and tried the cm-10-20120730-UNOFFICIAL-a500.zip rom. Same problem, after system reboot i only see the acer icon (permanent).
Also tried cm-9-20120708-UNOFFICIAL-a500.zip but same problem.
What can i do?
There are three main ingredients when customizing a device:
1) BOOTLOADER
2) RECOVERY
3) ROM/KERNEL
You provided answers to #2 and #3....what about #1??? What BOOTLOADER are you on?
Thanks for your reply.
I never changed my bootloader so that will be stock i think.
Finally i managed to get it going again. The trikck was to use a 3.0 stock rom. That worked.
From there i now use ICS (stock) which is fine at first. I had not seen anything but the Acer logo the past 2 weeks, so the Acer ICS will do perfectly now.
But for later on: can i use CM9 or CM10 with default bootloader + TWRP 2.2.0?

You'll need the unlocked ICS bootloader. Civato made a great guide over in the DEV section.

OK to explain for you.
ICS and JB require the ICS bootloader to run. They will not run on the HC bootloader unless specifically modified to do so. Also, no HC ROM will run on the ICS bootloader. This is why none of those ROMs were working for you.
Flashing stock ICS has updated your bootloader with the locked ICS one, so you probably won't be able to downgrade to any HC ROMs, or use any custom ROMs anymore. You can, however, use APX mode to install the unlocked ICS bootloader which will enable custom ROMs again.
I don't recommend trying to install ANY custom ROMs now until you'd flashed the unlocked bootloader. Instructions for this are in the Development section. Read VERY carefully before proceeding and if in doubt, don't proceed.
Hi FloatingFatMan,
thanks for the explanation.
I think i will stick to the stock rom at first. The APX way is not without risk...but maybe in the near future...

I am having the same "stuck on acer logo" issue. I am totally novice when talking about how to flash to ROM and stuff. Can you please direct to me a simple "dummy guide" on how to flash back to factory rom and fix my tablet. I tried the hard reset by holding down volume up and pwr button and on/off button, where i see the 'erasing..." but it still goes back to logo screen.
Please help me with my situation. Thanks in advance.
Have a look at this video
That is an example on how to do it.
Recently, more people with our cousin Willy the Wilderbee have been roaming about in our forums and I said I would like to investigate further.
So, to be true to my word, I got a second hand one posted over to me and I can now test. First thing's first, though, I fully updated the device before I rooted it with z4root and there was no Gingerbread update. With that being said, I am going to do my best to provide a stable custom Sense ROM for this device so that no one is left behind. :angel:
So then, to the first order of business.
How to unlock the bootloader of the HTC Bee and flash Clockworkmod recovery!
1. Proceed to htcdev.
2. Create a login username and password.
3. Go back to the bootloader unlock page and select Wildfire*
4. Now it will tell you to select a RUU. Select the one for your carrier. Make sure it says PD06 beside it, as that is the HTC Bee's bootloader code number.
5. Run the RUU on the device. If it fails or says that you need to update your software first then follow 5a.
5a. With the RUU still running go to: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp (Windows 7) and use the search tab in the top right corner. Search for rom.zip. Copy this to your desktop and close the RUU and the Windows Explorer window. Rename it PD06IMG.zip and copy it to the root of your SD card. Power off the phone fully and then hold down volume down + power until the device boots into the bootloader (white screen). The device will scan the SD card and ask you if you want to perform the update. Use volume up to select yes. Once done, the device will reboot. When it has rebooted, go back to your bootloader and check your hboot version.
6. Check your bootloader version (power off, then volume down + power). If it says "locked" at the top, we are good to go (if your device already said "locked" then you are also good to go).
7. Extract the zip file from here to c:\adb\ (create the folder first).
7a. Delete the PD06IMG.zip from your sdcard if you used it.
8. Go back to htcdev and click continue.
9. Follow htcdev instructions to get unlocked bootloader. Afterwards, leave the fastboot command terminal open.
10. Once unlocked, return to the bootloader. Enter this command into your terminal window: fastboot flash recovery bcwm5.img
This will flash the version 5.0.2.8 of Clockworkmod that I have ported to the device. This is not an official version and has only been tested by me. Do not use the report function!
10a. Push power to go back to bootloader (from fastboot) then wait for the SD card scan to finish. Then scroll down to recovery (volume down) and select it (power button).
11. MAKE A BACKUP! Due to the severe lack of HTC Bee RUUs it is Imperative that you make a full backup of your stock ROM in case things go bad. This is your only way back to stock!
11a. Use the trackball to scroll down (or volume rocker) to backup and click in the trackball (this is select).
11b. Click in the trackball on Backup.
12. Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked your HTC Bee and put Clockworkmod recovery onto it!:good::good::good:
To flash Superuser and root your phone after you have made a backup download this
To do that:
1. Place .zip file onto your SD card.
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Scroll down to install zip from SD card.
4. Select "choose install zip from SD card".
5. Scroll down to the superuser zip file and select.
6. Confirm installation.
7. Go back to the main menu and select "reboot system now".
Congratulations! You are now rooted.
Recovery controls
Trackball/volume button to move up and down.
Power button to go back/up a menu.
Trackball to select.
Alternative (sometimes the recovery will say back enabled and switch the controls around).
Back is a selectable option.
Power/trackball-in is select.
I have tested all settings for recovery and they all work for me.
Important things to note
This recovery is still considered beta . Any ROMs I release are as well, unless stated otherwise. Use at your own risk.
DO NOT FLASH ANY RADIO FILES WITH THIS RECOVERY! It will BRICK Your phone.
As of 27/10/12 this device has no custom ROMs or flashable mods. DO NOT FLASH BUZZ ITEMS. If you do, it's on your own head!
Ported recoveries are: Clockworkmod version 2.5.0.7 from the htcbuzz (update)
: Clockworkmod version 5.2.0.8 from the htcbuzz (edify)
Updates are coming soon (hopefully! )
edit: custom rom
Special thanks to:
kemoba - help with recovery porting.
hacktrix2006 - for building Clockworkmod version 5.0.2.8 from source for the HTC BUZZ
Arco68 - original custom recovery for HTC BUZZ
ChainsDD - for superSU

Well I tried a "quick port" of cm7 just yo see how it went and the device locked up on the buzz kernel, and had no touch drivers in the bee kernel, but I imagine sense would go fine
Sense can be ported without major problems like u said. For CM we use a different boot.img than the stock one. Unless u know how to edit the boot.img and edit the right files (kernel). It will be al lot easier if u can find the source for the kernel for the Bee. But CM team dont have it. I think it will be very difficult to get CM working on it.
But maybe, maybe the boot.img works. u do have replaced the boot.img from CM for the one from Stock rom?

nah man, as i said i only did aa "quick job" with a kernel paste and libs for the networking. i dont know how to dissassamble a kernel :/ or compile it for that matter
Maybe i can help with the kernel stuff. Dont know everything, but i can build one from source and change the input, so the output.

According to Lifehacker, I have to root my phone first, but I don't know how to do it. I found this guide, but it says it doesn't work anymore. Does UnlockRoot works? It doesn't have LG L-series in its list.
Second, I have to go here and download v20 basebands since my Android version is 4.0.3
Then I have to download cwm 6.0.4.8 from here.
The problem is I don't know what to do with those two files. How and when should I install the new kernel?
CMIIW, but do I just put the zip file on phone's memory card?
Factory reset/wipe is next, I think?
The next step is rebooting while pressing volume buttons, into recovery mode, right? then select the mod from the option (Again, do I just put the zip into memory card?).
I'm sure I missed many things, so I hope you can help me.
Thanks before.

Follow the steps like on website below to install ROM with root and CWM :
http://androidteen.com/lg-optimus-l5-e610612-android-4-1-2-how-to-root-and-install-custom-recovery/
If you have installed ROM from the tutorial above follow the steps below :
1. Download ROM which you want and copy to SD Card ( v10 baseband 4.1 +, v20 4.4 kitkat + )
2. Go to CWM ( Hold Volume down, Home and Power button )
3.Update CWM from link below :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163698
3. Restart CWM.
4. Do wipe data and cache.
5.Install baseband v10 or v20.
5. Install ROM and the kernel if it has included.
6.Restart phone and wait.
Thanks. But after following several links, I got here. It shows the tutorial for 4.0.3, I believe I should use this one instead? Your link is for 4.1.2. Besides, the root package is smaller (3MB) compared to the one in your link, 360MB. Can use it instead?
The instruction told me to copy recovery.img at CWM step. I have CWM 6.0.4.8 from the cyanogen thread, but the recovery.img size is bigger (7MB vs 5MB), is it the same, or I should be using the 5MB one from rooting tutorial? If they're the same, I prefer using the 7MB one from cyanogen thread.
About Backup, LG PC Suite offer me a backup option, is that enough, or I should use/install another backup application?
THanks again

I don't know that. I did this from 4.1.2 JellyBean. If you are on 4.0.3 version follow the guide from the link. Or hold on for somebody who did this from 4.0.3 and knows more.
Doing it from 4.0.3 is much harder.
You must install root then unlock bootloader then install CWM (that 7mb file will do the trick) then u must to flash BASEBAND to v20 to be able to use CM11.
Much easier is to flash your phone via KDZ with v20d+root+cwm.kdz (wich have buildin root cwm unlock boot etc) then u have to just update cwm to 6.0.4.8/6.0.4.9 via zip then flash cm11 no need to think about basebands etc.
Just flash your phone with v20d+root+cwm.KDZ and problem away
Alright, I think I got it. I managed to flash CM11, although got a little trouble when unlocking bootloader. I'll remember KDZ if I ever need to redo the process again
Anyway, I can't seem to boot into recovery mode anymore. holding volume+power+home doesn't get me anywhere, while reboot recovery from adb/terminal gives me neverending LG-Logo loading. Did I do something wrong? The rom and everything works perfectly before, only this recovery mode that doesn't work, which means I can't flash anything anymore...
EDIT: I got into recovery mode. I have to 'su' from phone terminal, not from adb or anything else.
But now, after I installed Google Apps, the touchscreen stopped working. I don't know what to do anymore...
Well i dont understand what u did in first sentence.
U installed CM11 and after that u wanted to unlock bootloader? thats wrong.
Let me Tell it again.
Flash your phone with v20d KDZ via KDZ tool. THATS IT no need to unlock bootloaders etc
Put this on your SD Card http://www.mediafire.com/download/0ywu6ri06c94l4z/cwm6.0.4.9.zip
Turn your phone OFF.
VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER until vibration then release power to enter recovery.
WIPE DATA/CACHE
Advanced > WIPE DALVIK
Install from ZIP
Now choose secondd option to browse SD Card
Point cwm6.0.4.9.zip and flash it.
Reboot to system
Turn OFF again
Enter CWM flash CM11.
Reboot
No, the first sentence was from before I knew about KDZ. I was still trying to root and unlocked bootoader, but I got a wrong file. e612 is using different bootloader from e610, but e612F is using e610 one instead of e612, hence I got the boot loop. I checked model number in Android setting and on the box, it says e612, but when I wanted to open the battery, there's a model number on the phone, saying it's e612(f).
But everything works perfectly now. I get my CM11 working. The broken touchscreen also works (weirdly, after I put my SIM Card). Except one thing: I've never been able to enter recovery mode from start up using volume+power+home, even until now. I always have to boot into phone, then choose restart into recovery mode.
CM 11, CWM 6.0.4.9.
Anyway, if I ever want to re-flash CM or another room, or have some broken thing that I have to wipe /system, do I have to re-flash v20, or just the rom?
Also the kernel, if I want to flash a kernel, do I just flash it without any need of special order (like wipe cache first, then kernel, the rom, etc.)
Just the ROM.
But if u format /system remember to have anything ready on sd card to flash right away because if u reboot phone with formated system woth out flashing new rom then well..... KDZ
KDZ only if your phone die in a way it will stuck at LG LOGO and even recovery wont work. Then KDZ. In any other situation when recovery work then only rom flashing via CWM nice and easy
So VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER (PREFERABLY IN THAT ORDER) then release POWER after vibration dont work for ya?
Mine phone under battery says e610/e612(f) wich is just clean e610 xD just saying.

I see. I'll make sure to back up it on the card then
Yeah, it does nothing. The LG Logo disappear, and the Back and Menu buttons are flashing forever (longest try is for about 3 minutes, still no result) until I release Power button, then the Logo reappear and continuing like normal boot. There's no vibration or anything like that.
Ah, mine is like that too. Then what should we choose if we get kernels/option for different types again in the future, e610 or e612? This half-hearted serial number is confusing :laugh:
Pure e610 nothing more. Its simply l5 with NFC and single SIM.
Strange when i press vol down then add home and power buttons flash then phone vibrates and i release power LG logo appear then i stop pushing anything and after 30 SEC 1 min im in cwm.

Ah, it works!
thanks a lot!
I read somewhere it was "Volume + Power, then hold Home when the light turns on"
There should be no "when the light turn on" =_=
THanks a lot!
I see.. CM11 disable/not tested NFC anyway, so it basically is really a pure 610
Yeah only Android Beam work from NFC module. NFC it self (with nfc tag) dont work since CM10.2.
so, cm11 beta 9.1 is unusable. the battery drain is too high, 10% in 2-4 hours with or without framework fix. my option is to revert back to beta 9 and unable to rec video/sound and unable tp use VoIP, or change to another rom.
do you have any other rom suggestion?
Lperia but on android 4.1.2 ( optima team ) AOKP, SlimKat ( CM11 ), mod of stock 4.1.2 but very very fast., and now i have unofficial CM11 4.4.3
Sent from my LG-E610 using XDA Free mobile app
I dont have such drain on CM11 with patch even without patch its not that high.
Check with some wakelock detector what keep your phone awake.
My top 4 are
google service (Mostly sync),
1013 (what is this? Type system(media), Mostly audiomix. I didnt touch aausio/music things),
Android system (again, audiomix),
and BlackBerry messenger
currently 50% in about 8.5 hours.
Google service shouldnt be even listed there even IF sync is on.
1013 i dont have it at all.
I think u suffer from google services 5.0 bug with cm. Download some proces killer and block SystemUpdateService and it will solve problem till next beta with updated sources from cm with fix.

i downloaded zapper task killer, but couldn't find the process systemupdateservice. I'll try another app later.
1013 and google service only appear if I check show system process from wakelocker detector settings.
my battery this morning, 96% in ~1hour, with the main culprit being Android, 1013, and bbm. beside bbm, the top 5 seems to be system related.
next update is.. next month, right?
What process from Android system and google services wakelock ur phone?
89% wake lol mine is 2% wake xD
Check with Battery Stats Plus in Wake section wich part of OS and wich process inside is creating problem.
