Hello guys!
I need a bit of help on unlocking my Nokia Lumia to install XAP files.
I know that there are some cool ROMs to install that already have what I want installed, but I don't know how to install them. There is a downloader app for my Lumia that works with the os.nb file (I think), so if I download the ROM I can install it with this app?
Also, I want to do it by myself. I've searched on the WP7 chef central but I didn't found anything that I could understand, and I'm not a newbie when it comes to modding OSes (a past in Android teached me lots of things). If someone could point me what do I need to do to unlock my phone it would be awesome.
Here are some things that I didn't understood yet:
What are the DONOR_SLDR and what I need to to with it?
How to "install" the FullUnlock using OS builder?
How can I remove languages from ROM?
How do I remove stock apps, and add other ones to the ROM (like Bluetooth share, which is pretty much all I want!)
There is some way to add more color schemes to customization?
Please spare me if these questions had already been answered somewhere else, I've tried to search for them but, like I said, found nothing that I could understand. And thanks in advance!

You can check my ROM there. It has all the features you want in it. And I've provided links to videos which show you how to easily unlock and flash the rom to your phone.
If you want to cook your own rom there are a couple of guides in the Chef Central and WP7 Development forums. You can find help there
Quick question: will I need to re-add the activation code? Or it will work out-of-the-box?
Your ROM looks great, I just need to know if I'll need the activation code and I think I'll stay with it.
You can easily get the key from Microsoft through their online chat facility. And yes, all custom rom's after installation will require you to add it. There are few workarounds but it's alot easier to just get key from MICROSOFT, get it once and you can use it whenever you want to install a custom rom again

I was wondering if someone was very familiar with the Softbank X02HT and could creat a ROM that will continue to work with softbank.
I really want the internet sharing feature but, when I try to install it I get "This application doesnt have the required permissions" or something like that.
There is probably already hacks for it but, I dont speak japanese so my resources are limited. If anyone could help would be appreciated.
This is the wrong forum for you mate.
You need to go to the HTC Cavalier forum!
I've seemingly exhausted every thread here, looking for a guide, tools, advise etc. on how to make a usable (flashable) ROM dump of the OS, Radio, SPL... essentially a full back-up for a "Stock" US Cellular Titan (I know that there's no such "stock" ROMs for US Cellular... furthermore, that the current "stock" ROMs are old non-gps).
I have a replacement US Cellular Titan which is unaltered; therefore, I would like to copy it's "Stock" ROMs so that I can:
1- Have a back-up
2- Re-flash my old unit which I'm required to return to US Cellular
3- So that I can UL the originals here on XDA for others to have available
if needed.
Again, I neither know what tools are required, nor how to properly make a ROM Dump; so, IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN HELP ME ON THIS? Any advise and/or resources that you guys can provide would help immensely!
I've PM'd the "usual suspects" here (i.e. GC, & DCD) but these Gurus are, i'm sure, flooded with requests and/or other commitments. PLEASE HELP in any way you can! THAnkS
UPDATE: OK, Found a good thread on this HERE with a nifty little application too! Please feel free to continue the discussion on this thread, though; ANY other methods or advice will definitely help! Now, How do we use these bin files and convert them into a flashable ROM?
Got a question.... Are you currently running the ROM your device was shipped with? If so pm me, I have a file I need to pass to you so you can help me compile your OEM ROM.
Ok guys so ive just bought a uk orange branded hero, and i dont have a clue about android or linux for that matter, so i hope you guys could answer a few questions for me, ive looked at the stickys in the android development section, and now im more confused than before lol
1) What is rooting? and what is the process ment to achieve?
2) like i said i have a uk orange branded hero, now what is the process i need to do before i can start flashing roms? it seems a little more complicated that just flashing hspl like am used to lol
root is the system administrator of a unix system. you might wanna google that if you don't know what it is.
depending on your fastboot version you need to flash the custom recovery image, from there on it is a piece of cake. if you don't need to downgrade your system then flashing the custom recovery is also a piece of cake.

My intention is to give balanced advice to all those who intend to modify their new Android.
Ask yourselves, what do you intend to do with root access, if you want your phone to do all simple tasks, no need to root. I would say get familiar with new OS before deciding "Root Way."

Rooting is the process of gaining full system access to your device. This has pros and cons (you can modify anything and really tweak the guts of your system...but you can also truely fubar the whole thing a lot easier too). If you don't have a need to root, I generally advise against it.
Flashing custom ROMs are an unsupported method of customization...but it, like rooting, has some potential gains. Some ROMS give more speed, some ROMs include more features that you may or may not want. Flashing ROMs are the reasons most people root (as to flash the ROM, you need root access)
Thanx for all your help guys, i read all that info and spent the last 2 days learning lol 2day i sucsessfully downgraded my rom, routed and flashed modaco 2.9
Goodlad!
Excellent. Now please tell our forum members which road you drove to get to root, so that someone with same enthusiam can also do same. You dont have to write whole page, just majot points and references or links.
Thanks.
I know that many of these questions are already answered but i couldn't understand how to do it so here it goes.
I know how to install custom roms/radios/mods etc on HD2 but only on WinMO.
I saw on a friends HD2 android software and i really loved it.
I have a custom rom on my hd2 (omega v14.4/radio 2.10.50.28_2) and i need your help to install ANDROID on it.
Is there a dual bootloader or a specific procedure to run android?
I have to format the phone and install only android on it or there are both on the phone?
Which is the best ROM so far for it?
Battery consumption/signal/gps etc remain functionable like in WinMO?
Thanks for your help! Waiting for your answers!
read the posts and you will find your answers, installing android is simple enough just copy over the android folder to the sd card, all this is covered in the stickies and many other posts in the android area
Thanks for the reply.
You know... it's my first time and i dont want to brick my phone
Could you point out to me a good stable rom? Are the android roms for everyday use or still in pure development?
Thanks. I managed to do it. A few things dont work though but it's very nice and fast!
Hi Mates,
we have a phone called "HTC rider model X515e".
we could not found any custom roms for it. In google we find most of chinese sites but it was difficult to understand.
Any experts here who can guide us to find a custom rom and guide that will suit us.
we have some how managed to root our device.
Any help mates?
moving to general section
If you guys have rooted it then you should also be able to port a Rom as well. There are guides to porting generic Roms, as well as specific guides for CM7/9/10 and certain versions of MIUI.

You can try this one, but there are others as well if you need them. Odds are you guys will have to put in the work yourselves because if it's not a popular phone devs aren't going to take the time to do a one-off port. That said, if you do it yourself you'll learn a lot and be able to bring over any Rom you like.
