No problem, but as immortalneo said, check that ROM thread, read the instructions for proper installation and keep proper back up. Also check the ROM thread in detail for the reviews about that ROM from the users.

# If you wanna unlock bootloader on your device,root it,or flash custom rom check this!

# When we are talking about stock roms,here is a link to thread where you can find all stock NANDROID backups
Link! - Thank you matt95
# There is a lot of users that flash custom rom's from other devices..And then we have a problem..But if you use rom's from here,everything will be great
Link!
Link!
Big thanks to our developers,they are doing a great job
# Hmmm,now you are asking what is custom rom?
Well when Google release some android version..They leave code public..So everybody can play with it..Add some thins,remove some things,developers can make him faster..So it can be something close to stock rom and it doesn't..Remember it's determined android version with modifications
# Also a lot of you is asking for themes,how to flash it etc..Here you can find themes!
Link!
## For a proper flashing of custom roms you should follow these steps:
1.Download ROM .zip
2.Download 'gapps' if your ROM need it (Google Applications) if not jump to 3.
3.When you download your ROM copy it to your phone memory
4.Flash boot.img (via Fastboot) Boot.img you will find in your ROM .zip just extract it to Fastboot file directory
5.To evade stuck on HTC screen also clear cache
For step 3 use this command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
For step 5 use this command:
Fastboot erase cache
## New members are reading a Fastboot for the first time..What is fastboot,how to use it,and everything other you can found in this very interesting thread
Link! - Thank you ricky310711
This are a few basic things that you should know before any action..I just made this thread so there will be a lot of updates..So I hope it can help..

That depends. Are you on any bootloader that supports downgrade. If yes, then you can.
How should i know?
Apparently, if you ever updated your note II with stock rom 4.3 and up, then you'd end up with a locked bootloader. on the other side, from the looks of it, you are currently running a custom carbon kitkat rom, i dont see what prevents you from flashing miui 4.1.2. have you had any failed attempts or does miui requires you to be on android 4.1.2 before you install it. Unless I'm missing something, please elaborate why you think that you need to downgrade to 4.1.2 ?

when i download the miui V5 official rom and goes for flashing guide it tells me to download zip file called N7100_tools.zip and after downloading it and extract the file it contains this file N7100ZSALJ7_N7100OZSALJ7_N7100XXALJ2_TGY.TAR and seems to be 4.1.1 official firmware
that's why i want to downgrade to 4.1.2

First step of what? Are following a guide, like this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Anyway, it's not bricked (at least, probably not). It just won't boot. Did something happen to the phone that caused this condition?

You want the stock TWRP backup 6.12.111.4 from the above linked collection. It's the number on your getvar output "version main" as well as the OS number on the bootloader screen of the phone.
Hey Man , yeah it's not bricked it just got ****ed up during an update .
yes i followed the tutorial in the link u have attached and the ROM u suggested didn't work for me :/
On the bootloader screen, is the OS number in red font, or anything in parenthesis?
You might try to flash the firmware. But to do this, you will need to relock the bootloader, flash the firmware, then unlock the bootloader again, flash TWRP, and the stock TWRP backup 6.12.111.4
File for 6.12.111.4 firmware is on the following post (it's Post #5 of the same thread as before), with instructions on how to flash are at the end of the post.
No i don't think so ,
no there's no red number or parentheses as u can check here https://ibb.co/ivpY6R

Didn't work, meaning what? Stuck with no boot on HTC logo screen, or something else?

Question ROM flashing in TMO LE2127

Hello guys, I just got this phone upgrading from my OP5T and I used to flash roms and kernels with TWRP, I see things have changed and I would not like to destroy my phone. I have always liked

trying new roms and messing with my phone, would really like to be able to flash Nameless or PE. I have seen that if you get the TMobile variant things get a little tricky with firmwares and phone versions. I got my SIM unlocked and I already have my unlock file to unlock my bootloader. Havent done that because I dont really know if my ROM flash would work.
Do I need to unlock my bootloader?
Can I already flash my ROM files directly from adb or do I need to convert my phone to EU with TSM?
I have seen that people mess with modules that I need to backup, is this only needeed to convert to EU version or would I need this for Nameless
?
Do I flash firmwares via fastboot/adb or do they come with local updates? Which I do not have because of TMO.
I have already asked a couple questions in the forum but I need to clarify myself with ROM flashing and prerequerisites with my 2127 version. I would really appreciate some help about this, Ive never tried getting help from forums and looks like this phone community is pretty active.
Go to the Nameless thread and follow the instructions to the letter and you will be fine!

Is it really that easy? I do not have to do anything else before because of TMO?

No, just make sure you follow every step in sequence. Read the instructions a couple times to make sure you fully understand everything. Like are you suppose to be on Android 11 or 12 as an example.
