Hello All,
I'm a new user of a galaxy note 3 n9005, quite a while I have been eyeing this phone up.
I tried to look for some sticky threads with links to common questions, which I couldn't find, apologies if it does exist then I will be grateful for a link.
I come from path of HTC phones going from HTC Desire Z to HTC One X, the first being an absolute joy for custom ROMS with CWM installed. The latter (HTC One X), being quite a pain with custom rom, having to connect it to a PC every time I wanted to install a ROM.
So really my question is:
1) Rooting is done via CF-AutoRoot, is that still the one people use the most or are there better alternatives now?
2) I don't see anything about boot loader being unlocked, are they already unlocked by default or does CF-AutoRoot takes care of it too?
3) Which custom recovery is recommended for compatibility? CWM Recovery, TWRP?
4) Lastly, can I have the joy of using CWM (ClockworkMod) to view, download and install ROMS like the olden times again?
I just hope my modding and installing roms is more joyful than my HTC One X!
Thanks for your patience, again sorry If there are threads that answer these which I may have missed.

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
Hi! I have a Galaxy S4 LTE (I9506) and i'm on stock rom (4.4.2, I9506XXUCNF3). I successfully installed a TWRP recovery via ODIN. Root done and it works. Now i want to flash the PAC lollipop ROM. Do i need something else to do before flashing? Thank you in forward!
Hello.
After being 2 years with a Galaxy Nexus, I have bought a LG G2 D802 32GB.
Well, I've managed to hard brick the device with only 2 days of use but got it back through warranty. But ever since I've been somewhat scared and doubtful of what I can and cannot do with this device.
I installed stock Lollipop via LG PC Suite (5.0.2 v30b), got it rooted and then installed TWRP via autorec. But I want to be able to flash rom and kernel among other things like I did with my good old Nexus and never got any major problem.
As of now, the performance on stock LG Lollipop is good, but everything is so bloated and I can't live with only 24 GB of storage. I also heard that there is a camera mod that allows the G2 to take slow-motion video and 4K photos so I would like to try that out.
Well, I've been searching here but everything is so confusing that I decided to only step into things when I understand everything about them and there's no risk of bricking the phone again. The Galaxy Nexus subforum is easier to get the hang of because there is only 3 versions of the phone (GSM and CDMA sprint and verizon). This one has like 7 and I kinda lose sight of what I need to check on.
TL,DR: Please check my questions below. (I put the important text bold)
http://prntscr.com/73hrp9 --> Those 3 sections... what's the main difference between them? Where should I look for roms for my device? What happens to the phone if I accidentally flash v30a stock or some custom rom for another version of the phone? Will it brick or bootloop or just some things such as network connection won't work?
I have a spigen slim armor case but the aluminium back is pretty damaged. Does anyone know if they still support the G2 in terms of acessories? I would want to replace the aluminium part of the case and maybe buy some screen protection. I know I can ask this and look for this in the acessories part but I found many topics with too much spreaded info and nothing convincing enough. What do you recommend for screen protection? iloome doesn't support the G2, I've seen the Glass-M and Ultimate Shield... Is there more options?
What can led to a brick in my device? How can I avoid it? Please don't tell me to not flash any custom rom and just stick with the stock. I want to try out new things, I just need to know where and what should I look.
I don't get the recoveries here! I have TWRP installed, but for what I've read there are more than 1 version of TWRP. They vary from the way I install it and they can be lost if I flash some kinds of roms. This doesn't happen with the Galaxy Nexus, TWRP is TWRP and CWM is CWM and stock recovery is stock recovery. What really happens in the G2 and what kind of recovery should I have to always have a anti brick backup plan?
What about the camera mod? Can I use it with stock lollipop? Can I use it with another custom roms? Do camera quality decrease with custom roms as they don't have lg software to process the images?
Well, I know the policy here at XDA is for searching and doing things ourselves as this is a developer forum and not a support forum. But as I learned what I should and should not do with my previous phone, I'm hoping to have a similar experience with this one without having to experience any more bricks and problems. That's why I'm asking before I do crap just because I didn't notice the small letters at the end of the post, or the comment #252652 of the thread of a user warning that the thing I'm doing will result in a bad experience. I'm just having some precautions and asking things directed to more experienced users who have the phone longer than me and can answer easily.
Hello dear forum!
After my nexus 5 broke, I decided to buy the cheapest phone in a similar spec range, and ended up with a used galaxy s4 (i9505). But I really wanted to keep the stock android experience as good as it gets, so my questions are simple: How do I root and install a custom recovery (if needed), and what would be the best rom (if possible with easy updates)?
Also on a side note, is it normal for the screen, when the brightness is set to minimum, to look really weird (i.e. text fades) when scrolling?
Use Odin to root and install a custom recovery. Since you want to change roms you just need to install the recovery. Go to the TWRP site and get the recovery for I9505 and follow the Odin install instrunctions on the site. I recommend using Odin 3.09, since it always worked for me.
Since you want a stock android experience you might try the Marshmallow AOSP rom by the JDCTeam.
Hey guys,
Anyone have any info when either unofficial or official twrp is coming for Android 11? I made the mistake of upgrading to 11 from 10 then tried flashing twrp which bricked my phone ( I fixed it, no biggie ). I just really want to flash a custom ROM and I can't find any other custom recovery that will do that and side loading twrp also gives a crashdump error. Unless anyone knows how to downgrade to 10, the the furthest downgrade I've achieved is 11.0.0, once I hit 10.x.x I get either a black screen or crash dump.
It's a lot there, I know. Much appreciated everyone.
Edit: reading more on this forum, I think I found a way to flash a custom ROM on Android 11.. I guess you can side load roms? So I guess I'm going to give that a try. I'm so old school, like back in 2011.
I had the same problem. Im using the Lineage recovery atm an idk why tbh. I think i used it for rooting and for now im only using magisk modules to obtain some featurers.
Sideloading roms is a thing but man i miss those old HTC Hero., HTC Desire times. Last years i was using a P30 pro without root and im so happy to have root again.
Anyway read carefully and have fun. I would love some answers from your experience here.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Most custom roms include all the files needed to flash the entire rom from a batch file. CrDroid for sure, but also Lineage. I'm sure there are more. My issue is not flashing, it's that all important nand backup from TWRP I miss the most. Switching roms is a lot more tedious when you have to re-install everything to revert back to your old setup.
Twrp for 8 and 8 pro may not happen ever, encryption is the problem
TWRP doesn't look promising considering the time that has passed since 8 launch...
