I rooted my P765 using LGPwn.apk and flashed recovery using artas' app. Now i can just download zips on my sd card and flash them in recovery?
Also, are CM and PACman roms bugfree now? Which rom do you prefer? thanks!
Please just tell me if i could flash Cm10 for P760 on my device now, without any problems?

You have to unlock bootloader first to install any custom ROM. It's not bugfree. Max sound volume of the speaker is lower than in stock. This is only thing which annoys me so far in CM. PACMAN has problem with wifi, wait for update. It should be made soon but probably sound of the speaker will be quiet as in CM. Of course 1080p video recording is not working too but I don't care about it.
Actually there are some roms for locked bootloader like I have jb experience v2.1
And unlocking bootloader can hard brick your phone
Press thanks if I helped

It's based on stock ROM and you don't have changed kernel. In that case you can find changed theme and some tweaks. It's modified stock ROM and it's not big diffrence from stock. For custom ROMs such as CM or PACMAN you need to unlock bootloader and he asked about them.

thanks to make things clear....i am totally new here!!!
so just trying to learn things
Hello guys, please forgive me if any of this has caused the slightest troubles to you
So,
i just rooted my phone a day ago and installed clockwork mod too...
i am a total newbie and don't know anything about this.... So i went searching for some custom mods for my sk17i or Xperia mini pro...
And i found one on this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102979
So then i installed it from the instructions given on most of the websites... i had a kernel of 4.1.b.0.587 on the phone and i don't even know much about flashtool...
Now the rom is installed or whatever it is but the UI has completely changed and it's not like the pics on the site... It's just completely black... And the worse part is that i can't even access my settings menu on the phone... So now i am blocked from doing anything... i cant even start usb debugging and take off the root....
please tell me some roms for the phone or any other way this can be undone...
Oh and btw i also tried installing some roms from http://get.cm/?device=mango because i thought cyanogen is pretty famous...
But none of them gets installed... and i even tried placing them as updates but no luck :crying::crying:
please help... thank you so much

Hmmm...if i understand your problem correctly, you ROOT and install CWM on you Mango, then you flash custom mods...problem appears after flashing custom mods right????
Hmmm....okey, for you info, those custom mods are for CM10 Roms ONLY and i believe you haven't flash CM10 Roms FIRST before you flash those mods...you can't use those mods on STOCK ROM (GB and ICS)...its designed for JB rom only....No wonder your phone got black screen...you trying to flash some mods that isn't COMPATIBLE with your roms...you need to flash STOCK Roms back if you want to fixed your problem...
for you second question...did your phone BOOTLOADER is Unlock??? if is not then sorry you can't CM Roms without unlocking the Bootloader first....CM Roms mush use CUSTOM KERNEL not STOCK KERNEL and after Unlocking you Bootloader then you can flash CUSTOM KERNEL and CM Roms...
Thank you so much!

As far as I know, the kernel should be in the rom.zip (it's the boot.img). Extract it and flash it using flashtool or the fastboot tools
Otherwise search for a kernel for android 4.2.2 in Dev section and flash that one. Should work too
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2
One thing to remember is, before flashing a custom ROM or MOD, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP.
To be on the safer side, backup every week or so and keep the last two or three backups.

I didn't brick my phone this time (actually i did for a couple of times trying to install a custom rom)

Your phone got almost bricked,No it didnt, First thing before installing a custom ROM clear your system,data,cache partition..did you do that?
ok so you have CWM installed..follow this exactly
Start CWM by pressing vol down when your phone starts up,Select Mount USB Storage under mounts and storage,connect phone to pc,transfer ROM zip file to sdcard then
format /system ,/data,/cache ,now select install zip from sdcard and select your ROM zip file from sdcard
Reboot System..
You should be clear now..
Hope i helped..
Regards..
PS :Certain CM ROMS can be highly unstable so i recommend checking out the bugs and everything before you flash a CM rom..otherwise ICS is always smooth and stable..and have got a lot a lot of mdpi roms on xda..thanks to devs..
EDIT: if u r on a stock kernel,then unlock your bootloader by following steps at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com then flash a custom kernel that supports JB..look over at the index thread created by predator at the dev section..
then follow my steps above..
DO NOT FLASH CUSTOM JB ROM ON STOCK ICS KERNEL.IT WONT WORK.

1- If you are asking about "how to install a 4.4 custom ROM for your i9100, you need CWM 6.0.4.6 or 6.0.4.7, and the recovery can do the rest for you in terms of flashing and all.
2- If you are looking for a KitKat Compatible recovery, I would rather advise you doing some searching or simply googling "CWM-6.0.4.7-I9100.zip" and downloading it to your SD card in order to flash it.
However, the only way to install the new Kitkat based firmwares for the i9100 imply you to use the latest CWM (or TWRP latest) in order to have support for metadata, and if I didn't answer your question, simply be more specific (your current ROM, OS version, Kernel... etc)

I just need to flash the kitkat custom rom as we do normally?
The tutorial is for downgrading to stock Kitkat once you has updated to stock Lollipop. With custom ROM that only flash the boot and system partitions there is no need to follow that guide.

to my knowledge yes you can flash your custom rom normally that is if it dosen't have any bugs .
but the link you posted is to downgrade to stock rom. if you want stock rom then yes you have to go though that process.
if you just need rom to flash and not bootloader download rom from http://motorola-condor.blogspot.in/p/xt-1022motorola-stock-firmware-romxt.html and flash it normally do this at your own risk i am not responsible for consequences

Thank you and @GSebas for the replies. Will try it to soon. The phone becomes so slow on lollipop and marshmallow. Kitkat is probably the best rom for low-end phones. But the inbuilt 4G ROM makes to look at custom ROMs.
So I've managed to recover root privileges but dual recovery is lost, I've read in dual recovery Q&A that there's some files I have to erase when you don't want it anymore, so I thought just erase and then flash dual recovery again, but since this happened a lot of factory resets ago there are some concerns about this being the right way, do I just flash it without erasing those files? Also is it realy necessary to flash the latest DR or will my old version do?
I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.118 on a c6833 with LB.
I would also love it if you could recommend the most stable Nougat or MM 6.0.1 rom, I know there's AOSP Nougat, DU and maybe RR for 6.0.1? What would you flash for a daily driver, I don't care about the camera much, but if Wi-Fi and phone radio are working normally, that should do it for me, thanks in advance to anyone that can give me a hand with this.

Have you tried to Unlock the bootloader, flash the recovery and root and relock it?
By any chance have you been on official 5.1.1?
No I've never been on any stock LP be it 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, so does it matter if I erase the files in the following howto before reinstalling DR?
How to remove DR:
Delete the following files:
/system/bin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma (or .tar)
/system/bin/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma (or .tar)
/system/bin/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma
/system/bin/charger
/system/bin/dualrecovery.sh
/system/bin/mr
Also is it better to unlock the bootloader first? I don't want relock it afterwards since I want to flash DU or AOSP Nougat, or RR M and have a recovery.
I read a lot of the forums all the time but I'm still pretty much a noob at this, up until now rooted Kitkat is all I've needed, sorry if I'm asking too much.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
OK so I've been reading, are you suggesting that I unlock the bootloader so when I install DR it stores the recovery on the FOTA kernel partition, instead of /system, so i won't lose DR next time?
I guess that's what I've been looking for if so, last question, is DR compatible with Android M or N roms?
I'm sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm still a noob, hehe.

I could be wrong but it sounds like you wanna be on a cm or asap rom with DR.
If you plan to use any of those roms, yes unlock the bootloader. From this point you should be able to install DR on top of the current recovery, as long as you've had any type of recovery you can flash with an app. Rashr, twrp manager etc.
I've UB now, do I need the new bootloader? Do I get it if I go directly from my Stock KK to RR Lollipop rom? Can I go directly from stock KK to RR Lollipop without bricking it?
Sorry if I'm asking to much but I'm just trying to make sure I don't end up with a bricked phone.

So I've managed to get DR working again flashed RR Lollipop but now my phone doesn't see my external SDcard, what should I do?, I've read the whole RR L thread down to the last message but the only solution I've found which is to correctly uninstall Nut's DR doesn't work for me since there's no such files in /system/bin

I believe no. I I'm not to familiar on the new bootloader. Prob have to ask one of the rom devs, but im pretty sure you just need twrp 3.0
Thanks RealityFails, you've been of such help, I did learn from your posts, I flashed DR then RR LL rom then with twrp app and flasher I got my recovery for non-stock since I read somewhere that Nut's DR doesn't work with custom roms.
I'm now trying to learn how to read android's logs to see what's up with this ROM not reading my external SDcard, when I go to storage unmount it then mount again, it reads for a few seconds then it's gone, whatever man! he he crazy rom, otherwise is awesome, and everything else works. If I'm not able to fix the SDcard access do you recommend any other LL rom similar to RR?
Anyhow many thanks for helping this Z Ultra stay unbricked, updated and with a decent recovery.
