miui
I recommend that you go to http://miuiandroid.com/community/
from there just select the type of miui you want and there should be instructions. You can also google "MIUI <country name>" for more country/language oriented versions of it. Installations of MIUI will usually root your device by default so you don't have to mess around with it.
Hope that helps.

Can any one give me detatiled instruction ??
How do i root...cwm nd do i need to upgrade latest firware ???

Flash stock ginger bread rom through odin. Then flash a kernel (cf-root for example) through odin. Now you have cwm recovery. Copy the zip file of ics rom (I recommend aokp rom by bhuvan) to the phone. Go into recovery and do full wipe and flash the rom.zip. If you end up into bootloops then open recovery again, do full wipe and flash the zip file again.

Really, 'HI'?.....go to Facebook dude, xda is for nOObs and trolls only and yeah also those weird people......mhmmmm......mhhhmmmm...me . ≈_≈

Once you flash the cf-root kernel the cwm is installed automatically. For links, go to android development section and find the threads for each particular thing.

every thing is avalable...you just need to search

Choose apply update from sdcard and select install SuperSU. Check if you are already rooted by rebooting your phone, look for SuperSU App on your application drawer.

Yep, and there are so many different tolls available, that unless you actually perform the procedure, you don't know if it is absolutely accurate or complete

Good to know. Could you please provide step-by-step detail. I have JB 4.1.2 XXLSJ installed on the GT-I9100. I tried ODIN v1.85 and 3.04 but it does not take the Philz CWM 3.1 zip file. It looks for tar, smd, md5, gz, tgz. What steps do I need to take to make this file work with ODIN?

Thanks.

Is it possible to unroot this firmware? I have Philz Kernel installed. Reason for wanting unroot is I want to use the Pingit app which requires an unrooted phone. I plan to re root after using it.

I'm trying to root the XXLSJ with Philz kernel, but it seems that I won't succeed...I copied the file on my SD card, entered the stock recovery mode but there's no such line as 'Install zip from sd card'. So, I'm not able to install the kernel thru stock recovery. What should I do? Thx!!!

Help for Custom Recovery on Eclair 2.1

Hi all
I bought a Defy second hand, and turns out it is Chinese retail. OTA update does not work. I am unfamiliar with SBF flashing.
So, at the moment, I am stuck at Eclair 2.1update1. GooManager and RomManager both need GB. Since I cannot update it, I think I will flash a stock ROM. Which one can I do it with?
Is it like a custom ROM, where it is compatible with many versions? For example, can I flash Australian retail firmware? Or do I have to flash a GB China firmware. In which case, which version is it?
(Sorry for wonky image, since screenshot wouldn't catch either. Been one of those days)

You cab flash Australian Froyo using RSD.
Is pretty simple, Download SBF for Australian Froyo, Install RSD and drivers, Run RSD, select sbf in RSD, Make sure Defy is detected by RSD, Hit Flash. After it says reboot phone manually goto recovery(Power+Volume Down) and do a data wipe ( IMPORTANT! ) And you will have Froyo, then you can root and use 2ndinit to get custom recovery.

Have custom recovery, but can't gain root. Do I even need root to flash CM?

I've been trying to hold off on rooting my new GS4, but after a few weeks, the bug finally bit me. I got the custom recovery installed, and I installed SuperSU from withing the recovery, but due to some update errors when I rebooted, I never have gained root with the factory ROM. To be honest though, I don't care if I have root in the factory ROM, I just want to wipe the facory ROM and get CM onto my new device. Since I have a custom recovery, can I just say **** it and wipe and install the latest CM nightly, or is it absolutely imperative that I gain root in the factory ROM before I wipe and install a custom ROM?

I'm assuming ur on MF9 OK now you should have rooted first before recovery you can follow the video from www.qbking77.com on how to root MF9 but to answer your question I think you have to be rooted to flash any rom but it don't make sense you can't flash a recovery without being rooted it's weird that you have custom recovery and not rooted do you have super user app on ur phone?

Maybe it'd be more accurate to say that I can't get SuperSU working. I used Odin to flash a custom recovery, booted into custom recovery, flashed SuperSU, rebooted, but instead of launching SuperSU first, I updated SuperSU through Google Play. I then ran SuperSU and it couldn't install the binaries, realizing that I probably shouldn't have updated SuperSU before running it first, I uninstalled the update, then ran SuperSU, but it still cannot install the needed binaries, and since I was never able to get SuperSU working properly in the first place, I cannot gain access to /system to remove the SuperSU apk and try again. So I'm hoping that since I don't even care about TouchWIZ, I just want to get CM up and running, I can just boot into recovery, wipe everything and then flash CM.

I don't think you can do that without bonking ur phone need to get and cf root so it will install the root binaries on ur phone SuperSU will work without ur running cf root it will not work that's why ur getting the error can't install binaries that's cuz ur not rooted

Ok, thanks. I'll give that a shot. Is it going to cause a problem though that I've already flashed SuperSU, or will CF-Auto-Root just overwrite.
And on an unrelated topic, I've seen multiple times now while researching rooting the GS4 people saying to make a special backup of the efs folder to backup your IMEI info. I've rooted many devices now (Nexus One, Epic 4G Touch, Captivate, One X, original Galaxy Tab for Sprint) and I've never seen mention of making a special backup of the efs folder. Is this something new for LTE devices or what?

Awesome, that worked like a charm, but since that uses a stock recovery, I now need to get a custom recovery back onto the device, and that's easy. However, I remember when I first got my Epic 4G Touch, if I wanted to flash a custom ROM, I had to first extract the kernel out of the ROM, flash the ROM, then flash the kernel, then reboot. Eventually this was fixed so all you had to do what just flash the ROM and reboot and you were good to go. Will I need to flash the kernel separately with this phone as well?

No not that I know of buddy I always flash them all in the same package buddy never had to separate the kernel to flash anything so you should good flashing everything all in the same package but I'm sure whatever rom you run they will it op if you have to do that buddy
