Im new to this can anyone help me.I have a p8000 running on custom built version p8000 20150907. i want to update to eragon 3.5.
can i do this and if i do will i loss all contacts and data apps.
You sure can first you will have to flash CWM Recovery
Tutorial to flash recovery: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-6616-1-1.html#.VhXGVnpVikp
You don't have to flash SuperSU if your flashing rom, also don't use one in link that's the pro version and you should pay for it.
Then download Eragon 3.5 to an external sd card, go into recovery and wipe data/factory reset and clear the cache which will erase all contacts and any other data so back it all up. Then flash from sd card Eragon and you should be good to go.
Iv'e check my phone and it is rooted so do i have to flash it or can i just download eragon 3.5 to sd card and follow steps from there.

Hello guys, I would like to know how to update my ROM using dalvik cache? I have Foxhound ROM 0.3 and i would like to install the 0.4. Can anyone help me ?
Hi Mate
You don't update using the Dalvik Cache. The Dalvik Cache is just something that is best to clear before an update.
In order to flash a new ROM there are a few things you need to have set up on your computer and phone and they are well detailed here:

Read the above thread and find out what has already been done. I think your phone will be Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted already. If so flash the latest Clockwork Recovery Mod CWM and then just download the ROM you want and store it on your phone. Once done you will be able to use the above link to easily write it to your phone using CRM and the Flash Update from SD Card Option.
Hope this helps.

Ummm. he doesn't have to read that thread..
Just simply download the ROM
Put it on your phone's storage
Boot into CWR
Wipe Dalvik and Cache
Flash ROM
[OPTIONAL] Flash Kernel (if you used one a custom kernel)

If you flash another rom, will your apps be wiped as well? And if you flash an update from the same rom? Just back-up with Titanium or? Thanks.

Hello! Today i wanted to update to the new 4.4.2 ROM from E-team (DN3 v5). So after i format data, system, internal sd, wipe cache and dalvik cache, i install the new rom. No problem, when the install is finished i wipe cache/dalvik cache and i reboot. After that i'm stuck on boot (samsung logo). Can anyone tell me what did i do wrong? Before updating i had DN3 v3.2 and i had no problems.
P.S. I am using the latest TWRP Recovery.
Hi. I suggest you to format the internal storage with TWRP Recovery. This is a full wipe procedure. After that install the ROM again and reboot. If that does not work check your bootloaders version. Reinstall the boot loader or install a never one. But first try the first step.
Good luck...

Thanks for the reply! I already formatted internal storage when i installed it. I don't understand the thing with these bootloaders. How can I check which version i'm on?

Switch to philz ,re do all the wipes for your internal sd card by clicking on "wipe to install a new rom" and wipe cache/partition and by going under advance wipe dalvik cache as well.Flash your rom then. You can switch to philz from twrp by flashing the philz.zip file from here just transfer the zip file to your external sd via card reader and just reboot into your recovery.if you dont have a card reader on you then you can flash philz .tar file in download mode via pc odin.
Philz

I just installed the latest philz and bang, it worked! Before installing latest TWRP i had an older version of philz (5.x) and maybe that was the problem. Thanks man, thanks a lot for your help!
Hello guys.
I've made some **** with my HOX and now I need some help to clean the mess.
This is what I've done so far:
1) Used Windroid Universal Toolkit to unlock bootloader.
2) Put CandyCat ROM on SD card.
3) Flashed TWRP 2.6
4) Tried to use it the recovery, but no touch screen response.
5) Flashed TWRP 2.4
6) Recovery working fine, wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset.
7) Tried to flash custom rom, but with no sucess.
Now I know that I can't flash jelly bean rom with TWRP 2.4 and have only CandyCat rom on SD card and no acess to USB by Windows. the problem is that I don't know how to find the correct RUU for my version, already searched and find it only the OTA file. What can I do to save my phone?
Thank you

there are no ruu's for the newest hboot versions. try restoring your nandroid If you don't have one(which you should) go to the nandroid thread in General and restore
I tried to flash new rom and Kernel . I did the following.
I load Rom zip, Kernel zip, and gapps onto my SD card. I verify that it loaded correctly.
Boot to TWRP recovery and advanced wipe the following:
Davikcache,Data,System,Cache,Internal/SD card,Android Secure,Preload.
Back up to Install in recovery to flash rom and kernel and gapps but nothing there. No file.
Now I can not do anything but reboot to Recovery.
There is nothing in Restore to restore.
Please guide me to restore the OS. Thanks

If you want to flash the rom, just mount the partition in recocvery and send the zip via usb and install that.
Thanks @8Fishes for anwer my call for help.
I found a link to restore to Stock from hard bricked and I am able to get it back to Stock Rom.
I redo the Rom flashing again. This time I did not wipe the internal| SD card and I am able to flash the new Rom. I learn a lot from that mistake

It is OK to wipe Internal SD but if and only if your backup and ROM files are on external SD card.
Now I am on custom rom, what to do to flash stock rom? just flash zip file in TWRP? or should I flash stock TWRP or what?
You got some options:
But first a heads-up: you will lose all your data.
Zip-flash method:
Copy the stock rom flashable zip to your micro sd. Make sure you got the flashable zip! To be flashed in twrp.!
Boot to twrp.
Factory reset
Then wipe system partition
Now flash the zip.
Wipe dalvik and cache.
Reboot
Enjoy
Fastboot method: (will surely wipe everything)
Search for team one rescue firmware on our XDA.
Download the firmware package.
Boot your phone into bootloader.
Connect your phone to your PC.
Make sure you got your backup to your PC. Or micro SD.
Extract the firmware package and start
Flash-all stock recovery.bat
Or a name similar.
Wait until the phone reboots in its own, and DO NOT , disconnect the phone while in process of flashing.
Once the the Google setup is visible, you can safely disconnect your phone.
You should be back on marshmallow stock rom.
Do some ota updates. Enjoy,

Now I have custom TWRP and a custom rom, I will choose Zip-flash method.
Can I flash stock rom with this custom TWRP? I mean can I flash stock rom like custom ones via twrp?
Can I flash custom rom later after installing stock rom?

For starters, twrp is a custom recovery, so you don't have to put the word "custom" before twrp everytime you mention it. X)
There are flashable zips that contain the stock rom. So, in a sense, yes, but you can't do any ota updates.
Download any needed file before beginning to flash a new rom:
Custom Rom, Gapps and if you want root: Magisk or SuperSu. Put those files on your micro SD in your phone.
Create a backup in twrp. You Just have to slide from left to right, no need to select anything more than what is already selected from the start.
Before installing a custom rom, you have to always wipe system, data, dalvik and cache partition in twrp recovery.
Only then you can flash the stock rom, which can be downloaded in one of the threads here in our XDA Lenovo p2 forum.
Little need to know: before flashing any rom, do a factory reset in twrp and wipe system partition.
Be aware that by deleting the four partitions you will lose your app data, sms,call log and so on.
Internal storage however isn't affected, so your music und Pictures won't be deleted.

Thanks for your detailed answer I am now on custom rom, i will download stock rom from the sticky thread, although all links are dead but I will try to find a working link
BTW, what is the latest stock rom?
I think S251 ...i'm not sure though. It shiuld be the one with the highest number=latest version ?
I still think that custom roms are better than stock though but do what you think is right.
