hello there, how' re you today?
first i want to say i'm glad to become a member of this community, im always read threads on this site
well, well, i'm here today because i have many, may questions
i'm now actually with the Nitro HD (P930) with stock ICS, a few days ago can finally root it, and installed rom manager, installed CWM, but when i reboot it on restart in recovery my phone makes this:
secure booting error cause boot certification verify
so i have to remove the battery and turn it back, i want to try it on with some custom roms and i been reading about, but dont know yet if i need to do the Unbricking Solution to do so or what
thanks in advance
oh!!! and by the way, my GF have a chinesse phone: (the star b930) so i want to know if there is anything i can do with it (install a custom recovery, install a diferent rom) the phone is already root (im sorry about the double answer it is because i dont know where i can ask with this one)
for your first question , you cant flash custom recovery on stock ics becouse boot loader is locked
for unbricking your phone and flashing cwm use this link and follow the steps

Try to flash a version of InsertCoin LOWER than 10.
The one ur trying to flash is a JellyBean rom and there is a specific process u have to follow in order to work.
For now i suggest u stick with ICS roms

I have managed to install another Rom, following a different process which was very similar to the one I initially used, except for the flashing firmware part, which I missed at first. Now I'm on android revolution hd 12
And must say very happy with it
Now I just new to learn how to flash mods, which I'm still looking into it
Thanks for your help

So, I tried flasing a ROM and it didn’t work I booted the boot.img and everything and it didn’t work I would try to boot my device and it would have the screen like it was going to get into recovery mode and then it would shut down and do that all over again. And after awhile of reflashing the ROM my SD Card wouldn’t mount and i connected it to my computer and it made me format at it so I lost everything please tell me how to factory reset so that I can get back I can’t use my phone at all now. SOmeone please help me I'm pretty desperate at this point all I want is my phone to work I'll think about rooting it again later but first I need it to function.So please help me if you know what I can do.I'm oviously new.
Hi Folks, I got my N7105 a couple a days ago, and would like to root it, I dit that stuff before whit my I9000, flashed several custom roms
and never had any issues. Now, they more I read about rooting my new divice, they more confused I get,
I just want to root so I can use Titanium Bakup and other apps, I wont flash some custom rom's just yet, in case there is a hardware problem
and I have to use the warranty, and there is nowhere a stock rom for my carrier, Testra Australia, to find.
So, that is what I intend to do: root by using this methode: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955423 using opion 2,
maby later install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028103
I know there is always a risk in doing stuff like this, but do I have to fear that my IEMI could get lost or somthing like that ?
Is it possible to make IMEI backup befor rooting ?
Thanks
sorry for my bad english...
Sv: Confused about rooting
Wrong forum.
Anyway... Use part two, then before flashing anything else http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915 This is the only way for our phones to do a efs backup.

if youre not comfortable yet on rooting your phone then stick with stock first. this is the common reason why people are having bigtime problems with their phones when they do root and not that comfortable at it..
Thanks for your advise, I feel more comfortable... I know there is a wery low risk in rooting.. but you never know...
I will give it a go....

First of all, let me congratulate everyone for this forum. It's almost thanks to you.
It's my first post here, so hello to everyone.
It's my first android device, but I have experience with flashing symbian
I've been trying to flash my phone since couple of weeks reading some threads all over the Internet, but some errors occured each time
First of all, my phone was supposed to be root. After I get it is not rooted I search for some rooting options and then a read-only error occures, but I have superSU so I guess minideal (from where I bought my phone) flash it half the way so my phone is rooted and unrooted at the same time, is that possible?
Then I explore the phone and found a folder on it called "ClockworkMod". Doesn't it supposed to be with stock Android? What is ClockworkMod?
Later my final desire is to flash my phone with stock Android, I would like my phone to be 100% clean and then root it etc.
Can someone walk me through this as a complete noobie : (
What is the best for my phone?

Firstly, let tell you, what about Clockworkmod.
Clockworkmod is a comunity of programmers who has brought and created first and for me, the best android custom recovery. Their recovery names CWM recovery, they have also created, superuser a root permisions manager and more things.
Now, talking about your phone, is great phone, I don't know which one you have but love Iocean x7 Elite (Hope buy it soon), the phone have many ways of rooting but like people (not all), don't like support it cause like much more others it comes from china , this video is in spanish but you just must watch it and reading the description below, I'm not responsible of what happens :angel:, I just try to help you

GOOD LUCK!

Thank you for answering me.
Let me ask you my first question:
Do my phone (any phone) have to be rooted to install custom rom?
As I already read most of the custom roms are with built in root permissions....
Must Be Rooted!

Well, in occasions some devices must not be rooted because people just need to install a custom recovery and that's it. For flashing a custom recovery you mustn't be rooted, just look for a custom recovery for your device and so of easy you could flashing a custom rom. But with root privileges you could get your phone nicer and faster you jus must use the best way and under your own risk. I hope having helped you, if you need anything else, just write me

Hey!
Im pretty new into this subject about rooting and install custom Roms to your phone on android but i was thinking i should give it a try!
I have succesfully unlocked the bootloader but i dont know what i shall do next. I want to install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/xperia-z1c-resurrection-remix-lollipop-t2996231[/url]
What shall i do first? Ive tried reading a couple of guys but i dont really know what i shall do next, as far as i know you should unlock the bootloader (already done) and then root the phone (i've read this guide and it seems quite good: http://techchomps.com/root-14-4-a-0-157-android-4-4-4-kitkat-on-xperia-z1-z1-compact-and-z-ultra/) and then i can install a custom rom? Shouldn't you install a custom recovery like clockworkmod first? When and how do i install that?
Im currently at firmware 14.4.a.0.157 btw.
I have understood that you might brick you device if you do this and that's the last thing i want too do, as im studying student i dont really have enough money for a new phone/reparation.
I hope i dont seem to confusing to you
Thanks in advance!

p.s. i hope you backuped your DRM-keys before you unlocked your bootloader, otherwise they went away and never come back...

There is a sticky thread dedicated to your needs Z1 Compact Resource Thread -|-Rooting-BL Unlocking-Firmware & More...
Don't use guides from any other place as they sometimes leave out important information.
If you read (and read again) the guides, go slowly, then there is no chance you will damage your phone.
I hope you made a backup of your TA partition.

Yeah i saw that thread and as i read, he seemed to link this guide for the root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/root-14-4-0-157-lb-ubl-t2933298
The thing i find strange is that is says D690X devices but my Z1C is D5503 will that still work if they are on the same firmware at the moment? One guy said so in the thread but i just wanted to ask you guys about it.

Ive successfully rooted the phone and everything seems to work fine with that!
The thing is that i was going to install recovery now and i thought i could use the guide provided by the author of the thread you linked before which is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
As i downloaded the recovery and installed it said it was succesfull but i cant seem to get into recovery. The guide also said that the device should reboot after the installtion, which it didnt! I ran install.bat with the phone on, not in flashmode or anything. Was i doing anything wrong? I installed the recovery from http://nut.xperia-files.com/ in the XZDualRecovery section, not the kernal section. Should i also install the kernal Recovery? Im confused

shutdown your device!
At boot, once you feel the phone vibrate and while you see the green led burn:
- press VOL-UP for PhilZ Touch;
- press VOL-DOWN for TWRP.
- flash the custom rom you want (but copy the zip to your extSD card before)

Ive tried that but i dont get into recovery. Do i need to have a extSD card before install the recovery? I also dont see any green led burning. I feel the phone vibrate shortly after i pressed and hold the power button, but no green led.
When i installed the recovery i had the phone powered on, was that right? It said in the guide it would restart but it didn't.
I dont think ext card is necessary, it is rather option.
Question:
Did you install both zips - installer and flashable?
If yes - I'd try other version.
Hi all,
I have a zenfone 2 that I have just rooted....so now what?
Basically I wanted to optimise my phone so I am able to disable annoying notifications which are greyed out (although since rooting and checking this it still greyed out) I want to remove bloatware and I would actually like to customise my own android system, starting from a 'vanilla' base where I can build it up myself.
I have also read that I need to install a android recovery programme on asap after rooting.
So sorry about this but I really do need 'stupid' instructions as using hi tech words will just baffle me. lol
I have played around with computers in the past and learned about them so this is the phone stage now!
Thanks in advance and for your patience with this newbie!

Hi Kerry,
First thing you should now do after rooting your device would be flashing a custom recovery that is specific to your device (make sure your devices boot loader is unlocked first). This will allow you to make a backup of everything just in case anything were to go wrong, flash custom ROMs and useful zips. You can pick your favorite custom recovery such as Team Win Recovery Projects custom recovery (TWRP), Clock Work Mods custom recovery (CWM) or Philz Touch recovery based off of CWM although personally I would recommended twrp.
There are multiple ways to do this: Using the TWRP/CWM recovery installer from the play store or the more complicated way of flashing it from your computer. If you were to choose to install TWRP from their app on the play store (grant it root permission) you can select your device from the supported device section within the app, pick the latest recovery, hit the install button and let the app work its magic. If all works correctly you can now reboot to recovery and you will see TWRP is installed. Now you should create a backup to be on the safe side and you're good to go!
To best optimize your device I would recommend installing a custom ROM (look up custom ROMs for the Zenfone 2) and install the zip through recovery. (make sure to pick the right ROM for your device and version otherwise you may soft brick your smartphone) Now with a custom ROM you can better optimize your device and fully customize it to your liking. Make sure to look up custom ROM installation instructions for your device for better detail.
As far as removing system apps/bloatware you can use a "root app delete" tool from the play store but be careful what you remove as some applications are required!
Make sure to take your time and be careful when attempting any of these things and be careful what you modify! Just remember that no question is a stupid question as we all have to start somewhere!
Hope I was able to help you even if it was just a little, good look and have fun!
Rooted Droid Thanks you so much!!! First of all thanks for being so patient with me and secondly thanks for the useful (and easy to read) information.
I will go and install a back up on my phone from the ones you have suggested.
Hopefully you will be around over the next few days if I have more questions. Not planning on doing this all at once but rather taking the time and doing it right.
Thanks so much again!! :good::good::good:

Not a problem! I'm always happy to spread some knowledge and appreciate when people do the same to me! I also went ahead and checked the TWRP app and the Zenfone 2 is supported so it looks like your good to go. And yes absolutely, there's no rush so take all the time you may need and everything will go smoothly! I'm always around and will try my best to answer questions.

Check this site out:
http://myzen.asus.com/2015/10/13/official-bootloader-unlock-for-zenfone-2-is-now-available/
All devices have a different method for unlocking bootloader (some don't even have locked bootloaders) but this is an official bootloader unlocking method for the Zenfone 2 from Asus itself. I suggest following its directions and you should be able to unlock it this way.
Ok I followed the link but now I am confused. I have version ww_2.20.40.63_201......
Apparently I need a later version. What started off with just adding an APP means me doing other things before I even get to that point (hence the confusion! lol)
I never updated the phone via OTA as I was told it would invalidate my warranty and also I have killed a phone before using that so can you walk me through please...if you have the time....or could I just check if I have it unlocked already??
I haven't even gotten to the part where I create a backup...tee hee

Hi sorry for the late reply, I'm in Canada so it was 2am when I was last talking to you so I went to bed haha. Anyway as far as unlocking the Zenfone 2's bootloader I wouldn't have experience unfortunately as I'm using a Nexus 5. The easiest way to go about this now would be to go to your device specific forum and find a way to unlock it there.
The following way to unlock the bootloader requires you have ADB installed on your PC. This is a guide for installation on Windows :
http://www.android.gs/install-android-sdk-adb-windows/
And here is a thread specific to unlocking the Zenfone 2 using adb:
http://www.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-2-bootloader-unlocked-without-asus/
BTW as you mentioned "updating may invalidate your warranty" things like rooting, installing a custom OS, unlocking the bootloader, installing a custom recovery and other things like that all (in most cases) void your warranty.
Sorry I can't personally help with the bootloader as I've not personally unlocked it on a Zenfone. Still feel free to ask any questions if you need to. Good luck!
