Can anyone please point me to a god guide on how to flash my phone.
I have a HTC Hero and i want to upgrade it to android 2.1, I'll be happy if you could tell me what is the best way to do it.
Will I lose all the data on my device?
Thank you

EDIT: btw, did you get a PM telling you the thread got moved? We're trying to see if a new feature works or not...

Hi, I have the LG-P509 with build # frf91 SW ver... lg-p509-v10h...can I use any root method / rom in this forum or does it have to be specifically made for the P509? Thanks in advance...sorry nOOb on this phone...have vibrant...this will be for my nephew...
I did do a search btw before posting, but only found this anwser...
" Yes! Its just a general discussion section so you can post your queries regarding Optimus T here "
this doesn't answer MY q as to if I can use this forum for rooting/flashing roms...
Also it was bought for use as a pre-paid phone...not sure if there's diff versions of this phone for plan/pre-paid?
anything in this forum, from roms to kernels to rooting methods, can be used on the optimus t
and the phone being prepaid will not make affect the hardware, so no worries about that
Nice! Thank you very much!

Not sure where to place this thread, considering that there's just a xperia S questions forum and not for the U.
Back to subject I'd like to ask some questions:
how can i debrand the xperia U?
How to root it?
I'm asking this cause i've been unable to locate any other thread about it, and any help would be helpful.
thanks

did you read what i post? seriously I don't like ppl who always say "use the search forum", if a person can't find something it's bcause the search criterias are different from the ones stored on the database.
Well i dont know about debranding but rooting can only be done with unlocked bootloader and custom kernel.
You will be able to find tutorial thru search

He wasn't rude, he was just trying to tell that you didn't give as much info as it was needed.
About your problem, download flashtool and download .ftf (I suggest Nordic region) and flash it. Everything can be found in dev sections, or in sticky thread in general section.

Flash it with correct firmware, get the fw's from sticky thread in general section.
btw. edit thread title to reflect your problem, as current one is so generic that it can be used on 90% threads here

What is the filename of the file you are flashing to your phone?
Did flashtool reported any error or everything went well with flashing?

Why are you sending PM's, we have forum, there are smarter people here and will solve your problem faster if more of us discuss about it.
First you said that you have problems with keyboard, then you said you followed this instructions: http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/08/how-to-root-the-sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-mt15i/
On those instructions I only see how to root your phone, which includes flashing MT11i kernel.
Now hear this. If you said all this info before, you would get your solution by now.
Flashing MT11i kernel on MT15i gives that error. And I would have told you that if you gave all the info you have. And no need to go around the web for instructions, everything you need is here, if you had checked this (sticky) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 you would noticed that flashing only kernel cause errors.
For start flash your phone with correct fw, to solve your initial question, then go on next exhibitions
And please use forum, it will be faster
nah sorry for all the issues and problems im done forget this thread please and delete my account im not doing this.time for a new phone.peace

if i put a custom recovery on my S4 and dont like it. can i restore through odin and that will remove loki? or am i then considered stuck with an unlocked bootloader that voids the warranty?
We don't have a downloader unlock so Odin will take you to stock.
