Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
To best assist you with your issue, I'm going to move this thread to your device's Q&A section.
You'll receive expert advice there.
Good luck!
Yes. U just need to have custom recovery like TWRP, to flash the rom. For that u need ADB drivers. Just google how to install TWRP. And after that u r good to go. But maximum custom roms r already rooted.
All roms are pre rooted dude.. Even this cm13.. And if u r avoiding rooting for warranty, once u installed custom rom your warranty will be gone
Without rooting, You cannot flash custom roms. This is because you need a custom recovery like twrp to flash zip files.
I have a redmi 2 prime, couple of weeks back i have installed a custom rom on my device and somehow made a mistake, Now when i wanted to go back to stock rom, my device is not installing stock rom on my device but i can install custom rom. I don't know what is problem and how to solve it. I think i have deleted my device bootloader And if it is really the problem of deleted bootloader then how to get it back to get stock rom back on my device. And if not then tell me a stable and good custom rom will try that rom out.
Please if anybody have a solution help me.....
Help needed badly

1. Download xiaomi.EU rom (HM2WXCPRO)
2. Go to twrp
3. Wipe cache/dalvik , data (DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM)
4. Flash the xiaomi.EU ROM,if it shows error 7 try flashing again , and also don't flash gapps as they are included.
5.Reboot to system
It will take 10 mins to boot and flash the ROM if u know your mi account password else you will stuck in the setup
flash the fastboot rom via pc using Xiaomi flash tool
All your problems will be solved
thanks for replying.
Will try to do , hopefully from any method if I'm able to go back to stock rom. Thanks guys for replying. Appreciated​. ????

Hello.
First I'd like to say that i haven't ever tried anything like rooting my phone or custom roms so that you know what you're dealing with
Lately I've been bored with my s8 plus(SM-G955F). Was even considering buying a different phone but then i remembered reading about rooting and custom roms so i thought i might give it a try.
I've been reading a bit about rooting and roms but all the information and methods can be a little overwhelming for someone like me who doesn't really know what he's doing. Basically i need help.
While looking for custom rom i'd like to try i settled on renovate ice and i have some questions.
Do i need to root before flashing a custom rom or does the rom come rooted already?
From what i understand i have to start with installing TWRP with odin but what then? root or rom?
Basically if anyone would be kind enough to provide some links with steps i need to take to install that rom and root my device and not mess it up i'd be grateful.
In case you need it I'm on the latest OTA i've received.

Hello there , you do not need to root your to flash a custom rom . All you need is to backup your data for you own safety and flash TWRP recovery through Odin probram . Renovate ice is most famous and stable rom you can try . It has same UI as the stock rom . Little changes only you might wont see me . If you want to change UI you should for another rom . Also root comes with the rom inbuild, specificaly renovate ice has two options to chose, magisk or supersu . Personally i prefer Magisk before through this app ' you can' modify your system, its like xposed framework.

So I installed TWRP like in the video.
Everything seemed to work i had a clean install of stock ore with twrp. When i tried to boot into twrp i had the "only official binaries" bootloop. So i flashed a bootloader and i was stuck on galaxy s8+ screen. Went into download mode to flash stock firmware but can't do anything. Stuck in download mode and can't flash anything now... How do i get out of it?
Edit:
Ok. Found a way to flash the bootloader. now I'm back to "only official binaries" bootloop.
Edit 2:
Ok managed to get everything to work. At least it appears so for now.
Had to flash nougat firmware then installed twrp, rom and root and it worked.
I thought something went wrong because it was very laggy but after rebooting it seems okay. We'll see how it goes from here.
Gonna google it and try to fix it but if anyone has any ideas i'd be grateful
Hello,
I have a GT-I9505 with an untouched Android 5.0.1 and I want to use a Custom ROM. Questions:
1. Which ROM is currently the best one available?
2. Can Anyone provide me a foolproof instructions / order of installing everything?
Thanks in advance
There are many tutorials on XDA on flashing a custom rom, it`s easy once you know how. YouTube also has some great vid`s to watch step by step.
My advice is 1st install a custom recovery like TWRP, concentrate on that first, you will need to download Odin software to flash TWRP to your phone, after that it`s as simple as downloading a zip rom to your sd card and flashing to your phone through TWRP recovery.
ALWAYS BACKUP your current working setup and read the entire rom description as SOME may have a few functions not working.
So far I have flashed about 5 diffrent rom`s to my i9505, all of which have been great, im currently using - [JDCTeam] Aosp Extended Pie Release 2.91 [9.0.0_r21] [unofficial] - with no problems.
I have moto g4 plus (2016) and want to install custom rom but I have some questions and without knowing about them i can't take the risk.so please answer sir.
1) There is 2 Twrp custom recovery one is 32 bit and second is 64 bit, so which is best ?
2) if I use 32 bit and flash 64 bit rom ,can it possible?
3) if No then if am use 64 bit Twrp and flash 32 bit rom accidentally ,can it will brick my device??
4) i am currently on stock rom android 7.0 , today most custom rom is based on 9.0 ,if I flash pie custom rom and after months i want revert back to stock or Oreo rom ,can i will do it? Because in some custom rom there is note that after flashing this rom you can not revert back lower version of rom.
5) where is rom take space if I flash it, means in ram ,internal storage???
Thanks in advance.i know this question is help for other noob:good:

64bit recoveries can handle 32bit roms too. Use a 64bit recovery and everything is fine.
You cannot downgrade your bootloader from stock Oreo to stock nougat(your current Rom). Custom roms won't flash bootloaders,only stock roms.
Your whole flash storage of your device is divided into several partitions like system, data, boot, recovery, internal storage. That's why you have to deal with less memory in your internal storage(10 out of 16 for example).
You cannot(yeah, but don't do it) modify the partition size cause it's used to met some requirements.
The rom will be flashed into system/data partition, not internal storage but also uses ram of course
Thanks man , but can you elaborate my question on if I flash today custom rom on pie base and that is rumor on moto g4 plus that oreo update will launch soon and I also wait for it.so can i get that update if I am on pie custom rom.sorry for your answer ,i not understand that .

Yes you can get official Oreo update if you are on Pie custom rom. You just need to go back to stock rom or flash the stock Oreo rom manually like the soak test.
Can you give me Twrp 64 bit link and also which custom rom do you prefer on gaming performance , battery performance and customisable wise? Thanks a lot...

Here's a link for the 64 bit TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...recovery-twrp-3-2-1-unofficial-touch-t3722206 for flashing both 32 bit and 64 bit custom ROMs and TWRP flashables.
Of course, unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom ROM via TWRP will unavoidably erase your device, so back up as necessary. Be also aware that flashing a custom ROM may necessitate flashing magisk as well, to get your device Google certified again.
As for a particular ROM, your best bet is to have a look at each custom ROM's page and particularly the first page and the last few pages. Both of those should give you information on how suitable the ROM is from other user's reports for your usage and also give you an idea how often the ROM is updated.
It is necessary for flashing magisk? Because magisk root my mobile and I don't want to do it right now.

For some apps, like banking apps for example, these apps may not function properly if they detect an unlocked bootloader, or if your device does not pass Google Play Store certification. If you're wanting to flash a custom ROM or a TWRP flashable, then you may have to consider flashing magisk for magisk hide. Magisk hide helps to hide your unlocked bootloader status and thus may get your device certified to use these apps. Up to you - depends on if you use apps that won't work if they detect your device has an unlocked bootloader.
Thanks sir for get me guide .What is athens when I open xda moto g4 plus and what is kernel and how it is important ??

I'm guessing by Athens you mean athene? If so, athene is the device codename for the Moto G4/plus (2016). Custom ROMs and software designed for athene should work on our services, though please check the release dates of such software. That also means software built for another device codename may not work.
A kernel is part of the software communicating between the hardware and the software. Custom ROMs will come with one usually. If you choose to flash another kernel, ensure you flash the correct type of kernel - there are kernels for stock 7.0/6.0 (Motorola), 7.1 (custom) and kernels for custom 8.1/9.0 ROMs. These may not be cross compatible and as such if you flash the incorrect kernel to your device your device may fail to boot (buy then that's what TWRP backups are for). Due to the lack of source code for stock 8.1, I've not seen custom kernels built for the stock Motorola 8.1 stock ROM yet.
Thank you sir for guide me about athene and kernel ,so i choose custom rom only made for athene and kernel is also built in with custom rom.

Should be the same process to unlock your bootloader, provided your motherboard is the same and you've still got your IMEI and software channel.
Can you elaborate what you said about motherboard and IMEI ,i am getting that method is same as nought but after that line i don't understand.

When you unlock your bootloader, you need the unlock key. The unlock key is likely generated from and linked to your motherboard; if your motherboard had been changed, then you'd have to get a new unlock key.
If your IMEI is still present in your device and working, the unlock key should work. Some users with existing IMEI issues may not be able to unlock their bootloaders.
Basically, if your device is the same when you requested the unlock key, and everything is working okay, then unlocking should be the same as Nougat without any further steps. Back up, boot to fastboot and connect your device to your computer, then enter the unlock key command - with your key - on your computer in the minimal ADB terminal.
I changed my motherboard once and after that I unlock my bootloader also ,but I brick my device by installing 64 bit rom on 32 bit twrp version and after that I lock my bootloader and start as a fresh device till now.
Same key is still working for me as I want unlock my bootloader??

Should be - use the same key as you used to unlock your bootloader before (after you had your motherboard changed). Be aware you will not be able to re-lock your bootloader if you unlock your bootloader at the moment. We do not have the Oreo firmware to lock stock Oreo devices or devices previously updated to stock Oreo firmware.
Oreo firmware means coding in CMD ??
