1. Go to the ROM section, linked here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
2. Ask the same question again.
You'll get more luck in there, and this forum shouldn't be cluttered with stuff that should be in others.
Good luck

Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol

johncmolyneux, I thought you're more helpful than this.
I downloaded the ROM update from HTC .. I dont like it .. it ruined my phone, I want my original ROM back, is that illegal ?

I AM being helpful. Follow the instructions and you'll get what you need. This is simply the wrong place to post. If we just answer every single post, regardless of what section it's in then the forum would be a massive mess and you'd never be able to follow anything.
How am I not helping you??? After all the help I have given you I'm suprised by that comment.

Thats why I said I always THOUGHT you were more helpful, because you helped me alot before. I was referring to the post where you said "Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol"
Anyway,
The ROM section is dead, I already tried posting there some questions before, they look for ROM downloads and updates, not for questions.
I posted here because I am desperate, I am struggling from my new ROM update.
If anyone knows what I can use to simply revert back to my previous ROM, ill be very grateful ..
Thank you.

I said not to encourage you as this thread does not belong in this forum. Simple as that.
There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it.
But I guess I'm not being helpful now. Thanks a lot.

I guess I understood it in the wrong way then, I owe you an apology Im sorry
Oh no its not that, im just really desperate and my day today wasnt at its best, in a bad mood from other life events haha.
"There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it."
Thats all I really needed, thank you very much Disregard what I said earlier, its just me in a bad mood today.

I still luv ya John!

This guy has made 5 posts in the AT&T S4 forum for this. He ignores what he was told and just makes another post for the same thing. If you look at his info (unless he changed it) he is listed as "T-Mobile".

You've been given the answer, bro, and it's that you cannot install a custom recovery because you upgraded to MF3. Game over, man, game over!

Thank you!!

Not that you care, but this is directly from the XDA rules that you agreed to but obviously did not read...
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
-and-
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
In your case you got a couple of good answers (maybe not the answers you wanted, but still accurate) and you decided to ignore them.

Who assigned you as the snitch. I started reading his threads since I keep seeing you constantly spamming every single one. From what I've read he's currently making progress. He managed to get his phone to boot after what seemed like a brick on mf3 firmware which I'm curious how he did that. You see I found something interesting and what seems can be useful for others who soft bricked their phones with mf3 stock from the information he provided. But you, I see you as that one causing the annoyance and lack of progress to help some one who has been reading and has been trying to figure out a way to fix his problem.

Regardless scott was just following and enforcing forum rules...which is a good thing. If the op wants he can create a new thread explaining how he got his device to boot back up...but from what ive read he never really bricked it...just messed up hus recovery so he couldnt enter stock recovery anymore...could still boot up but bootimg recovery sent him to download mode.
Now calling someone on here a snitch for enforcing forum rules is not ok, if you have a problem with the way hes doing things than let him no through pm or contact a mod if needed for further assistance with the issue...a mod can than evalute the problem and decide what needs to be done lock thread/delete posts/leave alone
Lets try and make xda a nice friendly environment...even if somebody annoys you or does something you dont like...

Which Rom are you using?
SuperSU?

During setup, SuperSU was one of the choices, then there was another with a similar name (I forget what the other option was at the moment.)
That is, assuming I understand your question correctly.
2 exploits that were available did not work. There was even some hesitancy to install it in the first place because an alert said Google recommends you don't install this because it contains suspicious code (not in those words, but you know what I mean.) I went ahead with installation because I didn't hear any negative talk about it after a little searching through the internet.

Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
Instead of taking the chance of bricking your phone, why not follow the routing guide in the sticky thread?

Dude seriously. If you know something just share it down here. I said "forgive me if i'm doing it wrong" and i checked and couldn't find this on xda

It's no problem, it has actually been shared on here quite a few times already. Yes it's real. Make sure you search around before making a new post - for your own sake. I don't mind more threads but the moderators do

just in case you are new here, you should know that there are about 7-8 variants of the G2 with different hardware. Flashing the ROM for one in another will brick it (I should know!). This one is for the Korean version F320.

but it says "backup your imei flash it enjoy bla bla" (yes i'm new) and it doesn't say "don't flash it to D802. We always specify the variants of a phone when sharing it's rom here on xda.. right?

We need a proper root, unlock/relock flash guide.

I see plenty of people asking for rooting help etc. I think we need a proper guide on how to backup TA partitions on M & N. How to restore. How to flash recovery and kernels and in which order. Which tools do you need and where do you get them and when everything is set and done, how to flash a rom.
A step-by-step guide.
I see answers like "just unlock and do this and that" which isn't answering peoples questions. And the result is just people asking "and how do i do that?" and the loop of replies with no content continues. I'd be more than happy to help, but havn't had the device for long, nor have i done anything to it yet. So i'm hardly the right person to do so, yet.

Why are you speaking for these 'plenty of people'? I don't see anyone asking, it's only you because you don't put effort into looking up and reading and you want everything to be served in your plate. Everything is very well written if you TRY to search for it.

Not true! For example, you can see 3 posts in a row asking for help (including mine) and noone answers. There ARE plenty of people who need help. And noone is helping. This is a useful post.

If you read the question I posted, I said that for some people the information is not very clear and there are some things that haven't been specified. Especially for the xperia X, why are there so little threads and mods for it? Because it's new? Do you think there will be more mods and stuff in the future?

You should TRY and read the OP again, you clearly didn't get it.
And why i'm speaking for "those" people. Because no one else is. The difference is that i don't have any difficulties doing so, it doesn't bother me. You could've spend your time more productive coming up with suggestions to a possible solution, eliminating those "i need help rooting/flashing/blabla" threads. Whereas you choose the easy way and just be a prick about it.

you choose the easy way

I don't understand what's so wrong with helping some people out..

Here you can find unofficial twrp for xperia x:
http://www.infectedbuilds.net/downloads/suzu/twrp/
Install with fastboot command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After flashing this twrp you probably cant access data partion in twrp, to fix this boot into twrp, do a factory whipe and format data partition.
If you want to root flash latest SuperSU: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
If you want a modded kernel with DM-verity, RIC off, DRM fix, SuperSU & Busybox download this tool and follow instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...oot-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605

Thanks a lot!

In the future I will buy this phone but now without it I am unable to do some tutorial. I wish I had this phone right now because this phone is awesome and some days ago I destroyed my M4 Aqua. I am into unlocking bootloader, backing up and restoring DRM keys, flashing recovery and making working SuperSU. I did tutorial for M4 Aqua on my Czech forum but I wish I could it here on XDA.

okay, so I can spend some time to write a noob friendly guide on saturday including information about things that troubled me too

=)) finally, I will give you a guild for step by step:
A. backup and restore:
1. fall backup to MM with flashtools (find script for your device)
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236
3. read inside topic to find restore code.
B. unlock:
1. go to this site https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ to get unlock code
2. turn on develop option (gg please) turn on oem unlock in this
3. follow sony intruction.
C Relock
relock ( use restore code in A) after that use flashtools to flash any firmware you want (like fall back MM)
ps: it is just a summary because you can fix any problem with gg in some other android devices.
ps2: dont use only one device forum to find your answer, try to find it from others. Because sony devices have same problem when flash OS )) or backup DRM and most them was answered so no one wanna write again again about same problem.
ps3: find to learn ^^.
