Hi guys!
I have been searching the forums for a week now.
Here is the question:
What information do I need about my phone and how do I choose the right ROM?
I have some issues with WiFi after a factory reset and think that flashing ROM would help.
Does the phone model matter? I have ALE L21, but does it really matter and why?
Some guys say that the region is also very important.
I have also seen some marks like b551 and EMUIs of different kind.
So, how do I start?
Which info do I get first?
Which tools do I need? I unlocked my bootloader with ADB , but seen that now I need minimal ADB because the old one does not support large files.
Back on HTC I used TWRP, but now I see some Huawei extractors (???).
Can you point me to a page where I can get everything? Please?

Hi
Been doing alot of WinMo flashing the last year and now I've bought an Zte Blade. Here in Sweden they are cheap as h*ll and they seem to be ok as phones come.
My problem is that because of my "Obsessive Compulsive Flashing Disorder" I now need to learn how to flash/root my new Android phone. XDA is my only source of knowledge in this matter and I was surprised to find that there are no "Step-by-step" instructions for this here in the Blade section...
I mught be a noob... Please help me in the right direction.

Debrand Yoigo ZTE Blade - Orange Failed

Debrand Yoigo ZTE Blade - Orange led to Green Man
Hi,
I followed the instructions here:
chrislowthian.co.uk/how-to-unlock-de-brand-and-root-the-zte-blade-orange-san-francisco/1824
Which an xda-developer forum discussion member suggested.
I tried it and when rebooting at the end, I was stuck at the green man.
I can still enter Clockworkmod Recovery by holding volume down at boot.
Is there a different r8_update or r* debranding .zip file I should use for Yoigo, instead of the one there linked for De-Orange-ifying? Does it matter?
Also, before I tried to rebrand, I backed up my ROM with ROM Manager.
I think I see that file is advanced-recovery in the clockworkmod recovery screen.
Should I use advanced-restore, select the ROM I backed up, and then choose one of these: restore boot, system, data, cache, sd-etx options? Which option should I choose? Or should I use non-advanced restore, or restore zip from sd card -> install /sdcard/update.zip (what is that?) ?
And then, when I have my phone back, what debranding ROM can I properly use for Yoigo?
Thanks!

Hey all.
it seems i, along with a few others, have bricked our plays (See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13365748#post13365748)
Essentially, what we have done is, unlocked the Bootloader, then updated the software (through the phone settings, in my case, im not sure about the others)
it seems we need a recovery FTF for the updated software. does anyone have access to this? if so, could you get in touch with waz000000, or anyone else that may be able to help.
Thanks
PS. sorry to put this here, if its the wrong forum, i didnt have priveleges to post in development
Sorry to ask this question, It's a simple one but all the threads seem to go into too much info. I've hunted through numerous threads, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm a Win 6.5 kind of person and Know nothing whatsoever about Android (Until my next upgrade (Sensation Hopefully))
In 2010 I bought my daughter a T-mobile UK Hero, unlocked it and is now running with an O2 UK sim.
She has never recieved an over the air update to 2.1, is this because it should come from T-mo and she now has O2 Apn settings??? On 1.5, I can't even find "Check for Updates" in the menu.
Is there an easy way and a step by step guide to this?
I'd like to use a stock rom, as I'll have her and everyone else to answer to if anything goes wrong.
Is there a thread or glossary that explains upgrading procedures and words like rooting etc. as all this seems a little different to Win Mo.
Thanks
a good place to start would be here:

also, please post [Q] threads in the Q&A section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=511
if you never want to root your device, just flash an RUU to the device.
you should find the correct one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
I expect only a T-mobile one will run. I am not certain if this will remove your sim unlock.

Thanks, I'll give that thread a go, and I hadn't thought about the simlock issue. I did an over the air update on my girlfriends desire that I unlocked from O2, and didn't have a simlock issue, or is this totally different to an RUU flash?
Sorry it went in the wrong section. I spend most of my time on the Leo forum where there's no Q&A Section.
Thanks again
Does anyone know for sure if this will re-lock the phone?
If it does, can the phone be unlocked using the same code as used last time?
I seem to recall reading that flashing a rom doesnt affect the sim lock. Dont know about an RUU though
If I'm posting in the wrong section, please let me know, or move my post for me...
I'm trying to find an ADB enable firmware for boot loader version 5, kernal version 3, and system version 4. Or, at least, I think that's what I'm looking for. I know that's the boot loader I'm looking for though. Everything I find is for lower versions.
I have tried searching all through the forums, and google. Either I'm not wording things right, or I actually don't know what I'm looking for.
Right now I have the combination firmware installed.
Aside from the above;
I'm trying to remove my google account from my device because I forgot the password, and I only had the email logged in on the device. I know, I'm stupid for not removing it first before trying to flash anything else, but, alas...
Is there anyway to remove my google account from my device from the combination firmware? Boot loader is not unlocked...so probably a huge issue there. I've found quite a few resources that detail how to do this, but they all have older firmware versions for the "ADB enabled" firmware downloads.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Heck, I'm an IT guy, I'm willing to learn something and really get into the internals and tear this thing apart, even if it's in some buggy setup that could get me closer to goal. ( I know that makes it even worse that I didn't think to remove my account though, so please go easy on me..)
Dude you have to ask in "question/answer" section of this forum to find any help that could solve your problem.
Have a good day

Hi There!
Just got that phone and already posted a few questions in that thread, but i think it needs its own thread because this phone is old.
i read about RUU here but i dont know how to get it and use it and what data i need to find a match and where to get it.
i never used a HTC and only flashed old pixel tablets, so i never needed to unlock a bootloader
so i need a (quick) guide for whole flashing progress for a htc noob (ME ). maybe there are already some that i didnt find.
thanks in advance!
This video covers unlocking bootloader.
thanks! after downloadinng htc usb drivers it worked. now trying to flash smth
