Just wondering here as I'm not too familiar with locked bootloader development kinda thing. Now that the Optimus G has been rooted (Canadian ones anyways), does this mean that we can install custom ROMs? I haven't seen any custom ROMs so just wondering here...
*delete*
This need custom recovery, there is none custom recovery now

hey guys,
i am a noob when comes to custom roms.so i need help here.
i want to install a custom rom on my rogers samsung s3 i747M unlocked.
i want to install a custom rom cus the battery backup sucks and i want to improve it.
so if someone could provide me a link to a good custom rom that will increase the battery backup as well as performance and the tutorial to install the rom,that will be really helpful.
and also i want to know if i can unlock the phone on custom rom once again.
thanks.
What ROM is currently on your phone?
Once carrier/sim unlocked, the phone will remain unlocked even after flashing ROMs.
I know the answer is 99% NO but still how did this person do it? Does the galaxy use a different "kind" of bootloader that allows this?

has anyone with a rooted (but locked bootloader) G4 actually tried the latest flashfire with a G4 custom rom like resurrection?
I tried lollipop genisys and its way faster

You can install Roms with locked bootloader.
I have CamUIX installed, which is based on the original rom.
I am not 100% sure but I know that you can not install custom roms which use a different kernel (any cm rom).
So it wouldn't be very useful :/
By the way, the rom in the Video is also a Touchwiz based rom
Sure you can... You can flash ANY rom that is compatible with stock kernel... Locked bootloader is only about signed boot.img and recovery.img not about system.img
oh interesting.. is there any custom G4 roms that uses stock kernel? i'm hesitant beacuse i have a h812 which has a locked bootloader and none of the roms that i see say that they can flashed for h812
it looks like genisys: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/bl-lock-ul-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3459260 uses stock kernel..? will it work on my H812 if i flash with flashfire?
You can flash custom system images ONLY also on lollipop ONLY. Boot.img and recovery must be signed by lg to load with locked bootloader, they obviously arent so cant do a single s**t really.
Hi i would just like to ask something that has been confusing me for quite a while now. I've had my hydrogen for a week and ive unlocked bl, rooted now with a custom rom(rr rom 5.7.4 working great!!) I did not actually wanted to unlock the bootloader but to be safe, i followed the instructions.
so here it is, before mi max, I had a mi4i, an xperia, and a zenfone 4, done the same, root,install custom recovery, and flashed custom roms.. the only unit i unlocked bl was the xperia since i wanted to flash Official CM, (CM's comes with their own kernel right? so flashing them needs bl unlocked) but when BL was locked i could still flash roms, manual update, (ROMs that are meant for locked bl only). then with mi4i (locked bl) i was able to root, install twrp, manual flash updates, official roms, and custom rom (CM13).
The part where I am confused is, why do i need my bootloader unlocked if i was going to root,install twrp, and flash custom roms only on my max without touching the kernel? When in my previous experiences as long as i dont need touch/tweak the kernel, i dont need my bootloader to be unlocked.
Sorry for long post..
I hope my question makes sense
Hello! Have LG G Pad 8.3 Verizon, Android 5.0.2. It is unrooted and no cutom recovery. I'm looking for comrehesive guide to root and install custom google&verizon-free ROM if that is possible. Thanks!
Me too.
Interested in a question
I'm also interested in custom or normal instruction for getting root or twrp/
Pretty sure we need to begin by downgrading back to android 4 Kitkat if running lolipop, then go from there. I'm hoping to run a custom rom on mine too.

Hi,
I don't like idea to downgrade my mobile just to flash custom ROM, I have Realme 6 (G90T Series) and flashed successfully a few custom ROMs but I never downgraded the phone, why RN8P so difficult?
Are there any custom ROM that work best on MIUI v12/ Android v10?
TWRP-3.3.1-1210 recovery and Magisk Manager are installed and both working, device is rooted.
If you have root and twrp, you don't need to downgrade to install a custom ROM.
If you are talking about flashing a cfw custom ROM, then yes, you need to downgrade to Android9, but then you can flash Android 10/11 cfw ROMs.
Having said that, since the new unbrick method was developed, you can now feel more comfortable about simply flashing 'normal' (non-cfw) custom ROMs without going the cfw route.
