[Q] im still kind a lost

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

It looks daunting, but it's not really good luck.

[Q] COMPLETE NOOB! Please help! LGOG F180S custom rom installation etc.

Hi everyone! My first post ^_^
Before, I was using Samsung Galaxy Y, then upgraded to a korean LG Optimus G (F180S)
I dont know ANYTHING about upgrading or customizing android phone, I know basics about applications, hardware specs, etc, but nothing about custom ROMs or such. Also, when I try to access recovery its all in Korean >_>
Anyhow I need your help... I want to change into Cyanogenmod 11 so I can have KitKat hehe. I want to learn this "custom ROM" thing also :3 can anyone help me?
I saw this: http://androidcentral.us/2013/10/ho...id-4-3-jelly-bean-lg-optimus-g-e975-tutorial/
Now, I tried downloading ROM manager, and then try to download CWM for my phone. Heck I dont even know what CWM does to my phone. But when I try to download it, it says that there is no compatible CWM for my phone....
First, can anyone explain what CWM is? or Even TWRP? What is this?
and also I was checking tutorials in the sites here, including this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549390
what is this build.prop? and where can I see this?
Thanks you very much for all those who will replay

Have you tried Nukaru's tutorial on the a5_ul ? It's here in XDA . That's the best "step by step" your going to get and if you've tried it and failed the issue might not be the steps but something else going on with your device.

Help with upgrading i9100 stock to Lolipop

Hello guys, i am new to installing custom roms.
This will be my first install.
I have i9100 international version and want to upgrade it from stock 4.1.2 to lolipop mainly because my phone is old and lagging like hell.
Before i posted i have searched the forum and google and found some info but its still kinda confusing to me.
I was thinking to upgrade to CM12. CM13 i think will be too much for this old phone!
A lot of guides say that i must have installed a custom recovery. I dont have any...
trying to search how to do the above, i find that in order to do that i need to root my phone! This is where i get lost. Some say i need root, some say i dont!
Some guides say to use odin, some others to use bootloader or something....
Can someone that has done this give me some pointers or some step by step guide to read on how to do this?
Also, is it possible after installing the ROM to get my apps and my settings back? logs,sms,contacts, etc etc etc?
thanks for reading guys..
