Hello XDA,
Sorry if this question sounds idiotic but please hear me out.
A friend of mine has an Yureka Yu which he wants to root and install Resurrection Remix on but the problem is he doesn't know anything about unlocking bootloaders or flashing recovery or installing ROMs or gapps.
While I do know the basic steps involved, the thing is I'm only familiar with Moto devices (I've successfully installed LOS, RR and AOSP extended on both my old Moto G 2013 and my gf's Moto G 2015).
Usually I'd just have gone on YouTube and searched for how to unlock the bootloader on the device as there are countless videos on it. But the thing is when I was showing my friend the TWRP recovery installed on my Moto G, he said he has something similar on his device as well, which surprised me. Then he proceeded to open a recovery screen that looks awfully similar to CWM recovery (I think that's the correct name?)[Please keep in mind that my friend is an absolute noob about this, so it's impossible that he has installed the recovery]. As I'm unfamiliar with that recovery, I decided to ask for help here so that I know everything before even attempting to install anything on his device.
Thanks beforehand.
No, it doesn't come with preinstalled custom recovery but some of YU devices have bootloader unlocked Out of the box. Mine also came with unlocked bootloader and if you visit YU forum you'll see there are many users who have similar situation.
Did you see the device? Cyanogen recovery and CWM recovery looks similar so he might have confused it since he doesn't know much about these things.

That's stock recovery.
As I said CWM recovery and Cyanogen recovery look little similar. So you've got stock recovery and you've to change it if you want to flash custom images (I guess I don't have to tell you that ).

Okay, this is my first post so I'll try to give as much info as I can about the issue and how I got to this point.
In the past I've installed custom ROMs, But I am having a LOT of problems with this L7. As of right now, it will turn on for about 30 seconds to 3 minutes and restarts. I was trying to install a custom ROM on (CM 10). So, I came one here looking for info on it. found out that the main L7 people use here is the P700 and there isn't much on the P705g.
First I rooted using this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906133
Then I downloaded ROM Manager from the play store and got it to install CWM. It wouldn't load up for me at all, and it would just constantly flash the back and menu touch lights when holding vol down and power. At this point I downloaded CM10 for this phone (from what I understand the P700 is basically the same as mine) but I couldn't get CWM to flash up. Found out about the bootloader being locked..
followed this to unlock the bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38231332&postcount=2230
Before I go on, yes, I did hook it up to the computer using debugging mode and installed the drivers. However I cannot get the V10K firmware that everyone seems to like for KDZ (and truthfully I don't fully understand it), my version is V10E
So I used to reboot2recovery.bat in the 2nd link like it said. Excellent! CWM came up! Wouldn't install CM10, said it was "Bad". So I reset it and restarted the phone, and now it wont stay on.
Looked around one last time before posting, and I found this link that had a download for V10K, but I need my phone to stay on to do this! ahaha
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26341025&postcount=1
Anyone got any ideas? thanks! sorry for the length, I just wanted to cover the bases.
EDIT: Self resolved. The phone is stable once again after I installed V10K Following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31828740&postcount=1191
hopefully this helps anyone else with this issue if they come across it. Now, to try to get CM10 on it.
EDIT 2: CM10 installed. Buggy, but that's what you get with an unstable version works great otherwise! Noticed when I downgraded to V10K my phones model changed from lg-p705g to lg-p700 as well, which made the whole thing much easier! Picture came out red like this because the screenshot app doesn't like the phone or something. Thank you to everyone who made this possible through your tutorials

I want to install a ROM of the latest android version. I installed a custom ROM a long time ago, I honestly don't remember what I did. I think I used "wug's tool" or something like that. Here's what my phone says:

Where it says GT-I9505G, I don't think it said that originally, when I got this custom ROM it changed to that. It's an AT&T phone (U.S). I'm not very knowledgeable about this, I usually just follow tutorials.
So what method should I use? Any tutorials, links? ROM recommendations?
Thanks.
It's important to know which bootloader is on the phone before flashing anything.
I suggest installing Samsung phone info app from the play store to find the version. Once you know the version, then you can decide how to proceed.

Thanks. I checked, it's the same as the Baseband version you see on the pic.

Add screenshots of the app to check it better.
Since he already flashed a custom rom, I don't think the bootloader is locked anymore.
In theory, you just need to flash a custom recovery (TWRP recommended) then you should be able to flash pretty much any I9505 roms.
I agree that it is unlikely that the bootloader is locked but I believe it is always good to know which bootloader is on a phone before flashing anything.
if Wi-Fi or network signal isn't good on any new rom you try you'll need to change the bootloader if you want to update the modem/baseband.
I installed the latest version of TWRP since mine was outdated. I did a full wipe as instructed in the ROM's page but TWRP refuses to install the ROM after. I keep getting "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7" "Error installing zip file [location of my file/file name]". I am without OS.
What rom are you trying to flash?

Got it. It was not the right ROM for my device.
Hi all,
I am kind of new to android development, so I apologize ahead of time if I ask something dumb.
I recently got a new phone, Huawei Ascend XT and trying to root it.
After searching online, the general way to root is to unlock bootloader, install a custom recovery and install super su.
I got my phone's bootloader unlocked. However, I can't find this device on TWRP and Rom Manager gave me an error trying to install a recovery.
I try to search for this phone on XDA, but can't find anything, maybe it's too new?
Is there a generic approach as to what to do when this happen? Thanks!

my phone not start.
when i reinstall custom rom ios9.1 to another rom in my micromax q380 when my goto recovery mode and then my screen become yellow and start blink and phone not start yellow screen continue blink what i do now.tell me its veryurgent
From my understanding there has not been any method to root nor any custom roms developed for the Huawei Ascend XT (H1611). This is common among budget phones like the H1611, it sucks but most talented devs opt for more common, powerful and expensive devices. If you got the time and drive you could always hit the books amd try to learn how and develop one on your own
If someone is looking for a budget phone (~50USD) that has a dev community you might want to look into the BLU R1 HD.
We have TWRP recovery and root. See post 1 in
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-ascend-xt-h1611-t3507933
for instructions.

I almost gave up on this, glad that something came out!
I would develop one, but I don't even know where to start lol
I've been on the unofficial LOS build for the A2017G from the 3rd of february ever since it got release since i never bothered to flash a newer build. Now I wanted to try out Resurrection remix or the newer LOS builds, but everytime I flash them in TWRP, with or without Gapps, I just get a black screen after the bootloader and then my screen turns off. I can load my nandroid and then everything works fine again.
Any chance someone here might know what to do? Screenshot of my about page is below, if any further info is needed, just ask.

My TWRP is 3.1.0.0 - which should be a recent enough version, AFAIK

You need to flash the new universal bootstack from Unjustifieds linageos thread.

Ive tried that as well - before and after flashing the actual ROM/Gapps. Or is there a new version of the bootstack I missed? I used the same file as I did when flashing the unofficial LOS build, "A2017G_Nougat_Bootloader+ModemFix2.zip".
I'll try again though - I took a look at the files and there is one for the G model and one with an X - which should I use?
A2017X_B15_Universal_Bootloader.zip & A2017G_N_Modem.zip
The "X" would mean for every model (A2017, A2017U or A2017G).
You previous zip file A2017G_Nougat_Bootloader+ModemFix2.zip is old.
I think you should follow the first step in LineageOS thread:
1. Install the Universal bootloader and your model specific modem.Failure to do so will not allow flashing the ROM!
Universal bootloader = A2017X_B15_Universal_Bootloader.zip
Modem package = A2017G_N_Modem.zip
By the way you can also upgrade to latest TWRP 3.1.1-0:

Slightly Tweaked YotaPhone 2 RU1.1.47 ROM Based On Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Good morning and good afternoon everyone, I'm surprised that there isn't any ROM for the YotaPhone 2 based on Android 6.0.1 available for download. So I decided to tweak for my own. This ROM is based on Russian Official YotaPhone 2 Android 6.0.1 ROM Version RU1.1.47, and I recompiled it into a ZIP which you can just flash in TWRP Recovery. I also tweaked SuperSU and Xposed Frameworks. I also compiled a much more stable version of TWRP which an work with this ROM. Happy Flashing!
DISCLAIMER: I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES, BROKEN DEVICES OR ANY KIND OF DAMAGE ON YOUR DEVICE. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!
What's Working?
Basically Everything! It's based on Official Android 6.0.1!
Any Issues?
TWRP displays "No ROM Installed" after installation, don't bother with that, just reboot and enjoy.
First boot takes almost forever.
Hope you enjoy my ROM!

The GPS is fine, no need to fix, and it's Marshmallow instead of Lollipop.

Marshmallow has the same gps config . Have you tried it? it is 10 times faster because the stock config doesn't use glonass...
Today I got randomly struck by the endless "optimizing apps" bootloop glitch of death, forcing me to do a factory reset.
I'm now free to install this ROM, but I would want to wait if you can add the gps fix.
Could you also add some minor instructions about how to install everything right? Thank you!
Can you list the modifications you made, maintain a changelog for instance? Thanks
Installed it but very slow and keeps freezing the phone, tried resetting it but it doesn't do much help, I like the features though, it has a lot of nice features maximizing the use of dual display.
Thanks
