Can anyone tell me a safe procedure to flash CM 14.1 by Santosh? (which has VOLTE working)
Also, is camera, video recording and other stuff working? I've read his post a number of times but the reviews confuse me.
Please spend more time to find your answer.
A lot of people have asked the same questions as yours ... I think you can find answer somewhere.
Or try yourself by flashing ROM after backup your current ROM.

Okay, if i backup my current rom and flash Cm14, can i restore my backup and be back on the stable rom without unlocking bootloader again?

1-SBF to stock base. Root your phone, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and perform a nandroid backup of your stock rom!

So my question is all based on this, and after a lot of reading I found both answers but both were old so not sure which one to trust.
I am currently rooted, unlocked, running joker's CWM & Joker's CM10, and have a nandroid backup from back when I was running stock.
Is step one really to roll back to stock base, re-root my phone, re-unlock my bootloader, and make a new nandroid backup? Or are these instructions assuming we are not already rooted/unlocked?
Can I skip step one and just flash the new radio and then Joker's GSM CM10?
(Long time lurker, first time poster, 9 different phones hacked to bits and this is my first question ever, if this has been asked before no combination of GSM/Stock/SBF found it.)

expertglossary.com/android/definitions/R (Banned from posting outside links.. Jebus it is hard being new, and all I could think lurking was I wish they had a method of making people talk *less*)
This might help a bit, ask if you want anything clarified. Their ROMS definition is a little not perfect, A Rom as it is normally used here is a zip file containing all the bits that makes an android install, A custom rom is a bundle of the kernel and android version, tweaks, themes, fixes, modifications, basically everything you use on a system as tailored by the ROM builders.

I was thinking more about " a guide to noobs" here in xdadevelopers forum ?
Where can I find it?
Definitely here is the best we have forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393519 then you follow all the myriad links based on what you are trying to do.
Not being sure what your goal is it is hard to be more specific.
Anyone have an answer for my earlier question though? My sim card arrives tomorrow.
Hello there, how are you?
My problem is, I received an Y300 as a gift, haven't yet received it but I want to prepare the necessary things to root it and install custom roms on it. No, this isn't the first phone I install a custom rom to, as I have already played with an Optimus L5 of a friend. Could you please answer this questions?
a) How do I root the phone and install CWM or other recovery? I have found many tutorials but they are confusing, and require waiting for 2-3 days for the code to unlock the bootloader. In case you need to know, it probably is the normal Y300, the international one, so no Asian Model
b) How many ROMS are there for this phone? I like Cyanogenmod and stock roms the most, I can barely stand the stock rom in the phone, so I would like to install a new ROM on it ASAP.
c) By flashing the new ROM, do I lose IMEI or something like that (EFS Folder in Samsung phones)? If so, how can I back it up?
Thanks for your help

Here is a GUIDE to unlock the bootloader and root your phone
Thanks, LS.xD
This was all I needed, I've found a CM11 Rom in the Modaco forums, hope it works well. Just got to wait until I get the phone
Okay, so I downloaded the latest nighly of the ROM, but it appears that CM11 is not very stable and has many problems with SystemUI (statusbar) and other things. Aren't there any ROMS for the Y300 on XDA? Also, will I lose my network connectivity if I do the wipes (data,cache, dalvik cache)?
Again, thanks for all your help, I appreciate it
EDIT: Found CM10.1 here in XDA but it redirected me to Modaco, however it is quite stable, downloading now. So which wipes do I have to do, in order to get everything smooth? Also, as I said will I lose my network connectivity or IMEI if I do these wipes, or I can do this without worrying
So I pretty much never flashed a ROM on this device. This is the third day I own this device, and I don't really like MIUI, I find it pretty hard to use, and it has a critical bug, that I am not sure when it will be fixed. I haven't done anything to the device, it's currently in the state i received it in. However, I would like to unlock the bootloader, and install cyanogenmod. However, I do have some questions, and I hope that Kate owners that have successfully flashed CM on their device will help me out.
These are some questions I have:
1) What is currently the fastest and safest way to unlock the bootloader?
2) Which CM version is the stablest? I prefer CM 14.1 just because I never had it, but if it isn't stable, I can live with CM13 as well.
3) What do I need to backup? I often see people asking for backups, because they lost their IMEI or something like that.
4) Does the Kate Radios zip made for CM13 work with CM14?
Also if someone could link me a step by step tutorial that would help me install CM successfully, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Hey guys. I am aware of search function and I am aware there are few threads that provide links to various stock rom packages and recoveries. I will be honest, I am actually a noob trying to go back to stock ROM. I have been using custom ROMS since months. I am not really impressed by ROMs performance after a while and thought of going back to stock(at least it has a better camera app). I have went through those threads but I could not understand or they could not provide the info I was looking for. There are different KIWL21 models, one is for UK and the other one is for Middle east. How am I supposed to know which one is right for my phone?
My goal is to: Revert back to Stock ROM, EMUI 4 with MM update keeping TWRP(if possible).
Therefore, I am opening this thread to ask for a very straightforward guidance. I am sorry to bother you guys again with this kind of thread. Personally speaking, I am going to miss these custom ROMs, their clean looks. I was never a fan of EMUI. All I am doing it is because of a camera because lately I have been using camera alot.
Didnt you save a backup before you flashed ? Use the search function next time I am not going to spoon feed you https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/discussion-rollback-package-various-t3675038

I had a backup but it got deleted accidentally. I downloaded B140 debloated update from gopi. I am not sure if its the right version
It shouldn't make any difference as longs as its l21, country information is usually stored in cust
Hey guys,
I have a redmi note 10 device & it hangs alot from a month.
I tried factory reset & i've de-bloated the native apps
Still the device seems to have hard time on daily usage.
I'm looking to flash a clean custom rom preferably pixel based
Can u guys suggest any stable ROMs you have tried or any precautions to be taken care of while proceeding?
Also a detailed procedure would mean alot to me
Thank alot

LineageOS (android 13) is the best right now in my opinion.
I suggest you watch this video to get a general idea on how to flash custom Roms for our device.
After picking which custom ROM you'd like to try, please read and understand the instructions for that specific custom ROM. This will save you from a lot of pain.
And if you are ever in doubt, post your questions on the thread for your chosen custom ROM.
