Hello I am currently running Baked Bean Rom 8 Android 4.2.2, I would like to upgrade to CyanogenMod 11 / Android 4.4.2, can anyone please give me some adviceon things that I should do Before I Flash the new Rom,
so that I wont brick my TF201, I appreciate it and Thank You.
First thing, make sure you go through with the flatline/nvflash steps. This will save you from any possible brick (outside of dropping your tablet off the roof of the empire state building...)

There are many roms available such as cm etc.. Don't worry you'll not brick your device as long as you follow the given instructions..

This.
Also, you should make a backup of your EFS, just in case. It contains very valuable information of your device such as IMEI and other stuff, and it's not recoverable without a proper Backup or Sammy's help in the rare event that it gets screwed. Look for a piece of software called EFS PRO on this forum. I'd like to give you the proper url, but I'm kind of busy in a crappy PC at work.
And make sure you use a i9300 compatible ROM, just wanted to make it clear because I've seen people with variants (like US) trying to flash a i9300 ROM and get it pretty messy.
Stock ROMs are fairly easy for starters.
Good luck!.-
PS: When using ODIN make sure that you don't have Re-Partition selected. I repeat, it must be NOT CHECKED. Or you'll be DOOMED.-
Hi
Why don’t you try with Omega first.
There's a flashing guide in post #4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656
Personal I prefer AOSP ROMs with MIUI.
Good luck
Edit: just make sure you do a nandroid backup. Always good to have a backup to go back to if things don't go as hoped. Have saved me many times.

Does anyone have solutions for "error restore / data" when restore by CWM?
I notice that my backup is quite big. Its more than 3 Gb.

Your backup could be damaged. I had this problem once with my Galaxy S, so I couldn't use my backup and had to install all apps manually...

OK, this has been said a few times, titanium backup is only good to use on the same base rom... Going from ICS to JB rom means there are going to be lots of FC's and other problems... Its like installing a mac os on a windows PC... Not gonna work.... You are trying to force JB to use ICS file structure and it doesn't like it...
Hi everyone,
I just reset my phone through LGPNST, cuz I accidentally deleted the Rom trying to flash new Rom . I learned it the hard way cuz I had my phone stuck in recovery mode for a week.
Long story short I just wanna backup my stock Rom before I try to flash other roms. Can anybody suggest best way how to do it ?
Every reply is appreciated and thanks in advance,.

Do you mean TWRP? Just back it up in recovery (TWRP). However, if you are using the recovery that freegee installed, I'd download and flash a newer one from the development section. They create much more reliable backups.

Yes it's twrp which I downloaded from freegee . I tried to backup from the system but it said failed for some reason which I dont remember. As I told I'm kinda new to all this stuff .this is my first android device . So could you please send the link that you're talking about . Thank you for your reply .

Here's the link for the TWRP that has been developed for the OG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019662. I was able to flash this to my phone via the instructions within this thread. I'm a noob as well to flashing, so can't give advice beyond pointing you here.
Here's a link for Clockwork Mod for the OG, another recovery program: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010984

I see my friend, how will I know if it is the proper custom roon that I'm going to use? how I can prevent my phone of getting brick?
Just type "list of custom roms for **your phone model** " in google.
This list varies for each and every model,brand,motherboard specifications etc.
Be carefull. I hard bricked my phone once. Now its not even switching on. I have thrown it in dust-bin,it became useless

Now if there are no instructions, you usually just have to flash it and then reboot.

As of now Sir i have a problem with my phone because i didnt know that it is not right to transfer files from my phone storage to sd card like system files, im now in android system recovery and dont know what to do with my phone, i hope some one will help me in this trouble cause i dont know if this is the situation they called brick. thanks for your reply, i will gladly appreciate it.
This is the whole story regards my current problem
early this morning as i open my phone, i used to think that if i will transfer all files from my phone "system" in my 8g sd card it will be helpfull to lessen the burden of my processing ram that is 489mb available. I attemp to use root explorer to transfer the system files on my sd cards. i cut it in the root explorer option and paste it in my sd cards that is 8g. seconds passed it transfer files but as minute goes by it stock up and dont run anymore. i used to press the reboot system which is power botton + up volume and hold it in a couple of seconds. and then i stock in the system recovery and dont know what to do next. everytime i install some zip. files it is written that E: SIGNATURE VERIFICATION FAILED INSTALLATION ABORTED. thats the whole story. hope someone will help me to fix this issue.thanks for your time reading my message.

Thanks a lot my friend, anyway how i can install link2sd.apk if i cant run my phone because it is in the system recovery mode? will it run in the system recovery mode if i will download it in my sd card? thanks again
No..it wont work like that buddy!

Sorry man! Your stock rom was collapsed.....i got the same situation(error signature) with my samsung galaxy tab. Then i came to know that it was soft bricked.
Then i kept my phone in download mode and flashed stock rom(available in official samsung site) through Odin software using my laptop. Then is worked like before
So now what you do is......
Open google..and search for "How to soft unbrick **your phone model** "
You may find something which is helpfull.

Hello Friends,
is there any simple way to root Lenovo K900 as if we flash system.img which has been provided it erase all account information and i dont want to lose any information or any account from my phone.
before this i have used many android phone and for them rooting phone was very easy.
I would appreciate if anyone from you can provide simple way to root phone without flashing.
root
which ROM?
Only way to obtain root is to download and flash a rom with it. X86 devices like this have a lot less security flaws than ARM devices so root can not be so easily obtained.

I used Cydia Impactor. If your K900 is ROW ROM, you can root one-click.
