Is that guide still safe to use? Not outdated?
I'm confused by your question. The guide tells you what update it's for. If you are on that update and firmware, the guide will work. If you aren't, it probably won't.

Heloo..Everyone!
been reading some of the threads on how to root, install ROM and backed-up this phone...
but can anybody please provide direct walkthroughs for this specific version and model...
It's a bit complex for so many noobs out there...
Having a hard time to go through the steps...I'm confused if:
1) I'd go for back-up first before I downgrade my FW to V10b (which is the next best FW available for downgrade)
2)I'd need to downgrade first then the rest....
3) I'd need to ROOT first before anything else...
Please help!..I really need some step-by-step walkthrough guide for this...
I'm kindda scared bricking this BABY!
Mga pinoys dyan...baka may makaktulong?! salamat! (Thank you!)
If you ask me, I'd go with the root first part. I'm not sure if there's a one click rooting method for 2.2.1.
I wouldn' really recommend downgrading since I've been reading stuff about P500s getting bricked by KDZ (but im not saying its not reliable) or even LG's own tools. But yes, those tools DO work.
So the summary of this post is to root from 2.2.1, get the custom recovery, then install your favorite rom
EDIT: Do a nandroid backup as soon as you get the custom recovery.
Sorry if I'm double posting, but I have to stress this out.
You have to downgrade to 2.2 Then root
Wow, this is really getting complicated...
I'm really sorry...but does NANDROID differs from custom recovery? I mean are they different programs with different task?...
My head hurts...too many info... (LOL )
but seriously....please enlighten me
It's not really complicated. It's just that I have this fear of using KDZ Updater. I have never tried it, and never will xD But I think in this case, I think you might need to.

The custom recovery is where you:
- make nandroid backups
- wipe stuff
- flash stuff (to install roms, kernels, stuff)
- do bunch of other stuff
Check these threads:

I'll try to look into it....and goodluck to me as well
Dear XDA-members,
I am a noob atrix 4g user and I have much questions. I think answers will be useful for all newbies.
1)How can I update my atrix 4g ( now Android 2.2.2 and unlocked bootloader) to latest version?
2)Can I use over air update just from settings to update or not?
3)Are there any other safe ways to upgrade or flash a custom ROM?
4)Are there any guides for noobs?
5)What I should never do if I don't want to get bricked?
6)I am interested in any information about atrix 4g, Android , hardware and etc.

1 & 2. You could probably update by going in settings but I'm not sure if its safe to. Ask someone who knows or you'll brick your device
3. I use clockworkmod recovery and its pretty safe as long as you follow dev instructions
4. Check this thread out its for noob atrix users. It has all the information you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600
5. If you don't follow instructions
6. Again check noob guide and use search in xda to find more stuff
Hi,
I'm fairly new with this phone, and I had rooted it without unlocking the bootloader. (downgrade to GB, root, then upgrade to ICS)
I just found out that a newer version of ICS is released the other day and was wondering that if there is anyway I can update my device while keeping the root ? Say, if I use flashtool to flash the new version, will I lose the root? Or should I use the pc companion software? Or cwm recovery?
I am a total noob here, and I have no idea what I'm doing... Kind of want to figure everything out before I accidentally bricked my phone.
you could try the thread about it on the development section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857736
or you can try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856287
And btw, use the search button first, or at least read the thread titles in the first page ¬¬
Thanks !!
I must have phrased the keywords wrong or something last night since neither of the posts you provided was in the search result.
Thanks for sharing the posts though. I had just successfully upgraded my phone with PCC while preserving the root !!
Hello, as the title says i'm a total newbie and need help.
I have a Huawei G750-T20 , running Android 4.2.2 with EmotionUI2.0.
Basically i want to get rid of the Emui and i need an idiot proof guide on the simplest way to do it.
From what i understood i need to root and then flash a different rom, but how exactly do i do that?
If such a noob friendly guide already exists, please point me in the right direction, if not then someone please help me out.

Hi, unfortunately, I can't find any information about a working root method for this device on XDA.

I found an external post with instructions on rooting it with Root Genius.
Assuming it will work and it won't brick my phone, what would be the following steps?
Hello,
I have checked in the forums already but I didn't fidn a definitive answer, and most of the thread use the "rebranding" strategy which I do not trust fully (it's a little opaque). This begs the following question: how one would, given the update files from Huawei, update using fastboot? This assuming an already unlocked device with TWRP on it.
Thanks in advance.
