Getting one for my wife, wanna root it and put a custom ROM on it. I know there isnt a specific board for this phone but can someone point me in the right direction?
Couple of months old, but here is a site that has a dedicated XPRT forum and I have just posted info about themed and dedexed ROM.

Hi all,
I have a Touch Diamond that I'd like to install the latest original HTC (non-branded) ROM (Swedish) onto. Right now I have my carrier's (3/Hi3G) branded version on it, and I need to get rid of it.
But I just don't know what I need to do ... I've been reading on this forum for two hours now trying to grasp all about HardSPLs, ROMs, Radios, but I just don't understand. Can someone be so kind a point me in the right direction? (Or even better just write what to do sep-by-step.)
Thank you very much!

Hi Guys,
I'm afraid I'm a bit of a N00B, but I've just recieved the HTC Desire with Telstra (AUS) ROM.
I'd like to contribute to the community: can anyone point out an Idiots Guide to maming an image of the ROM?

Cant be done as yet mate. Im guessing you are wanting to upgrade to the unbranded ROM?
Nope not looking for unbranded. Just wanting to copy the Telstra Rom so that others can dissect and play with it
The Telstra one has some extra apps (including what looks to be a new flash plugin) that may be of interest to Cookers....
So anyone help me to create an image of this phone??
I need to do this too. For a different reason. Telstra loaded the ROM up with 'cr-apps' that are basically just links to their web pages. It's horrible, but worst they broke the GPS in the process.
Someone has created a gold card and reports that this makes the GPS work (and gets rid of the crap) but Telstra won't provide warranty on devices with other ROMs.
So...I may need to put it back.
Can someone point us in the right direction? It must be possible yeah?
Edit: Stuffed GPS thread, Crappy ROM thread on Whirlpool
I have a US Cellular Desire and I want some freedome with it. We have been told that we'll be getting the 2.2 update every month since October... I'm tired of waiting.
I'm thinking about rooting but nervous to. I want to know that I would be able to go back to completely stock if I wanted to.
The more I read about rooting and custom ROM's, the more confused I get. Can someone give me some guidance/advice for a US Cellular Desire?
Thanks!
I know I'm new to this forum so I wanted to ask if maybe I've posted in the wrong place or if I've maybe asked the question wrong. Or, maybe it's not possible to root a US Cellular Desire??
Is there anyone out there who has rooted and flashed a custom ROM on a US Cellular Desire that might be able to help me?
Huh... 59 views and I'm the only one that has responded to my own post. Well, thanks anyways guys. I guess I'll just find a different android forum and hope they are more helpful than this one.
Well lets get this off by saying im not a noob at rooting or flashing.
but with the differences between how the s3 acted and the s4 id like to ask for basic help which includes:
1.) Which roms work with the tmo version of the phone. (this includes the unified section) i know the d2tmo worked with the d2att amazingly is this still true?
2.) Kernels which is best for the tmo version (what works with tmo with little worries of breaking device
3.) any other help on the matter of flashing roms or other stuff what works with jfltetmo version. (sorry if the acronym is wrong please correct me)
4.) this post isnt just for me but for everyone who recently changed to this device. (remember most may be noobs. so go noob friendly when replying with answers thanks.)
reason for making this thread is simply for fast help. not to be thrown to the "wolfs" (.zip) and left to fend for our selfs. thanks again for reading and thanks for replying will love to see other "basic stuff to know" posted here.
I see the s4 community is of no help to anyone .
Sad. . . I could get more help from a dead fourm but not here
Probably the reason nobody answered is that we saw you have something like 400 posts, and more than 100 thanks, so by now you should know that most of your questions are easily answered by perusing the Tmo S4 General forum (for basic info on flashing ROMs and such, locations of recovery downloads etc.). "Which is the best" (ROM, Kernel etc.) discussions aren't appropriate, because we all know that situations differ and best for you may be different than best for me. It's best we avoid the religious wars that can start up.
As for which ROMs work, go to the Tmo S4 Android Development and Original Android Development forums. They all work, some better than others, with plenty of info in the threads devoted to each one. And, the "best kernel" will to some extent depend on the ROM you pick.
Nobody threw you to the wolves, but based on your post/thanks count you should have been able to better position your questions. Maybe show having done the minimum of research first (well, you did reference jfltetmo which is why I bothered to respond).
If you're interested, my M919 is updated to the OH3 firmware via the stock firmware (from Sammobile), plus TWRP 2.8.7.0 (got it from thread in the General forum) and the GPE 5.1 ROM posted by Danvdh (from the Android Development forum). Not sure if it's "the best" but it has been very stable for me for the last few weeks and I'm quite happy with it. It runs whatever kernel it came with.
Thanks for the reply. An no I'm not a pro I just find helping people better then being quite.
With the new phone I have no clue as I have came from s3 and before that was the sidekick 4g so I know the big differences and I know to be careful. The sidekick 4g I have bricked a few times with a experimental update to 2.3(sad that the development is dead now)
And also the s3 worked with atnt almost 90% of the time. Which is why I must ask for help here. As no other thread seems to recognize which ROMs (variants) worked with the phone and it seems like there is no kernel for the phone 5.1.1
I see some post about i9505 working for m919 is this true..? Prefer not to lose anything right now
There has been no official T-Mo release of Lollipop (either 5.0 or 5.1x) for it. There is a thread about using the i9505 firmware in the M919 but I haven't tried it.
Most people just flash one of the more popular Dev-created ROMs such as the Google Play Edition (GPE) 5.1 ROM that Danvdh posted... there's probably half a dozen or more very popular ones that work well and include a working kernel as part of the ROM that gets flashed. Plus lots more less popular ones.
I'm with AT&T also... the GPE ROM came with an ATT APN that automagically got selected the first time I booted the phone after flashing, and I had no problem using ATT using this phone/ROM/firmware [OH3] version.
Best of luck to you. I'll be departing the S4 sub-forums pretty soon. Just a little while ago I killed my S4 phone. it slipped from my hand, hit the floor hard on the corner, and cracked the screen. It still works but I'm going to buy something a year newer. Sigh.

Thanks for the reply it just seems like s4 tmo is dead.
Also I ask about a separate kernel because its been one of the things I don't trust just the ROM itself to do as right now the ROM dies faster then the charge is (just typing this.)
Hey im new here, and i have a few questions. If this is in the wrong forum moderators feel free to move it. first of all its a Canadian LG Xpower 3 with software version X510WM10D. having major issues with carrier installed apps and software. ive rooted an Iphone before but have never tackled an android, a point in the right direction or any help would be much appreciated.
