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.

first of all hello to everyone, I am new to this site.
i came across this site since i have been searching for ROM developments to my phone.
i see this is a very comprehensive site with ALOT of information and i dont even know where to begin.
So i hope someone nice here will answer a few questions
First of all, is it worth upgrading to another ROM (one of these sticky threads ROM)
I've been looking at the Artemis but again im not sure what to choose.
Also no idea how to upgrade it and if anything goes wrong is it possible to backup the original ROM?
I like to upgrade since im not very fond of the original ROM, also a bit slow from time to time.
I am not a computer noob just very new to this. Hope someone will help or point me in the right direction.
hi there.
I whole heartedly recommend flashing a custom rom to your phone. I only flashed my first rom earlier this year. there are plenty of tutorials here on xda. this really is a great community.
search in the threads for MSkip's guide to flashing your first HD2 rom. Just always remember to read instructions thoroughly.
Roms are down to personal taste but I personally like the Energy series.
good luck.
I was afraid to, but now I'm glad I did (flashed like 5 times now, till found the ROM for me) Just remember to read all the ROM info and instructions carefully and for the love of God, have the proper Radio version for the ROM OR ELSE YOU WILL BRICK IT!
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!
Hello XDA,
I am currently debating on buying the SH-12C for my gf. One of the major things holding me back from buying it would be lack of custom roms, root-ability, and support.
Does anyone know of any forums or websites that provide these services?
I searched XDA and Googled "SH-12C custom roms" but I had no luck.
Thanks,
lilhugo

as you maybe know there was an update for the sh-12c and we already have that firmware-files in this forum !
the only bad thing is , its coded in .enc format and i posted a way how it could probably work to unpack/decode the files >>here<<.
so if this contains a whole firmware ,maybe we would be able to make lots of modifications,custom roms and the most important thing ...ROOT!!!
but it seems there are not much people here who want to do the first step or something for their "root"
iam tryin things on and on , every day ,,,my skills are also limited ..hmm
some ppl from asian forums will solve that first i think ...

Oh wow, you're awesome! I swear I've seen you around on the forums somewhere before while I was lurking.
Anyways thanks for the info. I'll subscribe to that thread and I'll see if I can learn new things to contribute.
Thanks again,

Search around next time. All these links were found from a simple Google search. Also be more specific in the name of your thread. As in, need help for what? More people are likely to see your thread and reply if they know what it's about before they open it. FYI, porting ROMs is not as easy as just changing some files. What these threads show is the basic way to port a ROM and boot it up. There's a lot of work involved after that to get it optimally running on a device.
Good luck!
Click thanks if I've helped you.
I know there are a thousand threads on Rooting/Unlocking and Custom ROM's for the Atrix, because I've spent the last 3 days reading every one I could find. However, most of them appear to be very dated and often conflicting. As I'm coming to the game a little late I was hoping for some assistance on how to proceed.
Here's what I have;
AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (I bought this new under contract, kept it for 2 years, upgraded to another phone and this one has been a paperweight for the past 18 months) AT&T will give me an unlock code if I ask, but I'm a little confused by the conflicting reports on whether to do it this way or not.
It's an MB860
FW Version 4.5.141
OS Version 2.3.6
Baseband N_01.77.37P
Webtop WT-1.2.0-110_OLY-6
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Build 4.5.141
I'd like to Unlock it so I can run a Foreign SIM card, I'd like to Root it so I can add non-approved apps, and I'd like to play with some ROM's, Redpill has some very good user reviews so I'm thinking of giving it a try but I'm not stuck on it.
Obviously don't want to brick the phone, so any advice would be appreciated, the more detailed the better
I have Windows 8.1, Mac OS X, and Windows XP-SP3 computers to work with.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
While certain threads are (or might seem) outdated and/or conflicting, there are also other threads that serve as a kind of index of the most current methods and procedures. That should help you get around. Plus there are threads and guides written especially for noobs...
Yes, the code from AT&T is the safest and simplest way to do SIM unlock. Only important point here is that the device must be running the official Moto/AT&T firmware at the time of unlock. I'm not sure what kind of "conflicting information" you came across, to my knowledge nobody who's used the code as described never had any problems.
As for rooting, regardless of the variant or firmware version of your device, the preinstall method is the one to use. By far the most universal, plus personally and generally I dislike any "automatic", "one-click" or similar methods - for me at least they are usually more trouble than they're worth.
As for playing with ROMs, you first need to unlock your BL, then install a custom recovery, and then you have a shot at ROMs. So quite a wide topic with plenty enough threads created on the subject, so no point in repeating what's already said countless times. By the time you're done with other things mentioned (SIM unlock, rooting) you should be able to find your way around.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've requested an unlock code from AT&T, should be good to go in 48 hours.
In the mean time, is it important that I have it unlocked before I root, or will it matter?
Update
I realize this may seem to be off-topic but I'm not asking for assistance with this newest update, I'm only using the experience to help clarify my concerns about the Atrix.
Waiting for my requisite 24 hours before unlocking the SIM on my Moto Atrix. While I'm waiting i decided to gain a little experience by rooting a Galaxy S5570 and installing a custom Rom.
Like the Atrix there are dozens if not hundreds of threads, videos, tutorials etc for how to accomplish this. I found the most recent one I could that seemed to be a complete tutorial and it was dated from January of this year (much newer than any threads I've found on the Atrix BTW)
Rooting went fine. Confirmed with a Root Test app.
Loaded a CWM 6.0.4.5 recovery package as instructed and ended up bricking the phone. By all accounts this tutorial was for the exact model of phone with the exact same FW and Android version.
This is no big loss as it was a cheap phone that I wasn't using anyway, but it certainly opened my eyes to the risks involved in attempting this procedure on the more costly Atrix.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction of a current procedure for Rooting, Unlocking the Bootloader and installing a custom ROM on the Atrix with the specs from my Original Post. If any of you have the same phone and had success following a particular procedure I would greatly appreciate some links.
I know how forums work, and I know there are always the guys that reply RTFM to every noobs questions, as someone with technical skills in other areas I can generally tell the difference between someone who just doesn't want to bother doing the Due Diligence and someone who is struggling to sort through the myriad solutions to find the one that's right. I really don't want to brick this phone so any pointed advice would be greatly appreciated.

Meanwhile you have ROMs all over the place here in the Atrix 4G section of xda that you are not going to go download, rather you are going to request a ROM for the phone instead. Head over to the development section and download a ROM instead of requesting the necessary resources that are already available to you.
