Not the best thread to start with. Find and choose a ROM yourself and read the instructions before trying to install it.
Again a best rom thread! Search and find the best for you
How to install it is in my guide, just check my signature

Actually there is best Rom.
Here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969555
Usually on locked boot loader you must wipe system partition form mounts and storage in CWM before installing a new ROM. Also you have to factory reset(wipe /data& /cache) the device and wipe dalvick-cashe.
Don't forget to carefully read the instructions before doing anything!
Good luck!
Every Rom is created to be best, but you need to look what you want. Some ROM's are really fast, but disable some functions, so it up to you to choose.
Sorry, no "Best ROM" threads.

I don't understand ANYTHING about androids but i followed a video tutorial on how to root it and it worked. So now, i have a 4.0.1 yajuux build Gnex (gsm) that is rooted and i got ClockWork Recovery on it with rom manager. I want to get the Apex 1.0.2 Rom on my phone except it says i need a XXKK6 radio. How do i flash that radio? also, I want the franco kernel on it after so how would i flash that? Please explain it like you would explain to a 10 year old so that I fully understand the process.

It would help if you say what phone you have

Buy a phone in the XDA phone list, check its forum sections (General, Q&A and Development) for some kind of sticky guides, follow the guides.

First you need to go to the section for your phone. Start by read the stickies and any pertinent information on radios, kernels, and ROMs. Then find the rom, kernel, or radio you want and read it. Start with the OP and then keep reading. Whatever questions you may have will probably have already been answered. If not, then is the time to ask questions in the appropriate Q& A thread. Good luck and enjoy your phone!
Absolution 3.7/Redemption ICS A2b1
This is the best thing to do if you really want to "learn" about android phones, I read almost every thread for my phone for about 3 months before I even rooted my phone. By that time I could root my phone successfully and fix any problems myself along the way.

Hey XDA !
I've just installed the 4.0.4 ROM from Free (French operator), and I'd like to root it. I tried to with the non-PC solution, but it failed (no service). I learned that I had luck that my phone didn't brick. So, I'd like to know how to root it, and install CM10 on it (I tried to install CM10 too, but I had a keyboard issue on every ROM, and I don't think it came from the ROM itself).
So, how do I do it ?
Thanks
iSteelZ
flash siyah 4.1.5 kernal to give you dual boot cqapability then follow instructions in the cm 10.
there are numerious threads on dual booting in this forum.
Do I have to keep dual boot ? Can't I just have CM10 ?

Yes.
Just flash the kernel then factory wipe and install your rom via recovery.
This is same process as any other flash, these "how do I flash" threads are silly and have no purpose as they already exist in abundance if you would look and read stickies/guides etc.
I know it must be very boring to always see posts like mine, but I already bricked my phone, I don't know how, and I don't find any topic on how to install it, only on Galaxy Note.
And my version is the LQ2, not the LQ6 (this is my modem).

Not only boring, but it's against the rules, because if you search a bit better there actually are guides for rooting, also via google if you can't find them on xda.

You are right, I looked on google for Siyah Kernel and I found the right one.
Sorry
Ok...Yep im a newbie and yep ive looked in the forums but im getting confused..
Phone :Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100 running 4,0.4 kernal version XWLPT.
Ive rooted the phone using the method 1 on this guide.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Now im looking to install cyanogenmod but i dont want a bricked phone so was wondering if anyone cleverer then me can give me a quick guide of how to install as all of the guides are getting confusing lol
Cheers for you help in advance...
Now that you have rooted your phone, you can install CWM. CWM (short for ClockworkMod) is a custom recovery menu which allows you to install any custom ROM packaged as a zip file. Refer to part 2 in the tutorial you followed to install CWM. I'd also flash another kernel such as Siyah (thanks to gokhanmoral) to make sure you can't brick your phone. That stock kernel you have is dangerous and you must get rid of it before doing the data wipe required to install CM.
Once you've done that, grab a CyanogenMod build and install it from the CWM recovery. You should of course place the zip file on your internal storage first. Make sure to follow the instructions here.
By the way, there's a "Q&A" section for this device, so please try to ask your questions there, they should get answered faster and by more people if you do that.
Cheers tydem..i thought the kernel in mine was prone to bricking...ill flash the one that you recommeded and see how it goes
just to add to that.. do we have to update Modems as well? can we update them?
No.
Yes.

Hey Guys,
I'm kinda lost and haven't found anything the forum that remotely resembles my problem.
I have a rooted EVO 4G LTE with CM10 JB 4.1. I'm sick of the ****ty camera picture quality and constant freezing while taking pictures (just freezes then the phone reboots) so i'm trying to go to a more of a stock rom that I'll just customize with launchers etc.
My question is, since I can't update the OTA from the rom, do i need to flash the new kernel and the stock rooted rom and if so what order? The other question I had if I do need to install the new kernel does it have to be in the root of the internal SD or external SD?
I tried flashing some of the newer stock rooted roms and none of them would work. I would get the message (bad) when trying to update through recovery. I thought at first that just meant a corrupted zip file but when trying 3 different roms that all said the same thing I thought maybe it could be because the kernel is different then what I have.
At any rate, if anyone could help with a link to some kind of guide (if anyone knows of one) or just some general directions that would be insanely helpful.
Thanks for any help offered!
Download the Rom of your choice. Pull the boot img from that Rom. That is the kernel you need to flash. The fact that your asking this question I would reccomend using the app " flash image gui". You can flash the boot img from your current Rom then immediately boot into recovery and flash the Rom.

Haha, yeah. Thanks! I like to dabble but I wouldn't call myself any kind of pro. I just wasn't sure if the rom would stay stable if I updated the kernel will still in the OS. Anyways, thanks again! :good:
Hey man I didn't wanna come off like I'm some kind of expert cause I know enough to get myself in trouble that's about it, but I have some expierence with a s-on device.
If your not sure just read some more. A good thread is "don't panic" in the Q&A section.
You should be fine tho
good luck

Hi all!
I would really like to install a new unofficial ROM on my s3.
Here's the question: I am currently using I9300XXEMC2, the device is rooted and I already installed CWM Recovery and Rom manager.
Can I install Omega ROM (Based on beta firmware XXUFME7) straight from the I9300XXEMC2 fw?
Thank you for the answers.
Peace and love <3
I would recommend using recovery directly. You may or may no0t need to wipe. Please have a look at the link in my signature "read before rooting" to help you understand the basics

Hi and thank you for your answer.
I red the thread in your signature, but it didn't help (or I didn't see it) for my question.
My question is: do I need to install a new BB, before flashing the rom, if I want to flash a rom based on a different BB from the one I'm currently using?
Thank you so much in advance.
(Sorry for bad english, I'm italian ^^ )
The rom is installed over the old rom. It replaces it entirely. You can flash any rom over any other rom except you may need to wipe data for the reasons explained in the "read before rooting" thread.
Roms are not based on bb's (if you mean baseband). Any baseband should work on any rom. Always backup efs (again in the thread I suggested you read). Whether the thread answers a particular question or not is irrelevant. You really need to know all of it

In this case a full wipe is probably necessary to go from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2
Thank you so much!
This is not my first time flashing, anyway thank you for the thread, I red it all, and yeah, I was talking about the baseband^^
Thankyou, problem solved, moderators: you can close this thread.
Thanks again XDA for the fast help you provide
