First time root - few questions

It's finally time for me to do what every XDA user done already - root my phone and use another ROM. I haven't ever before done this that's why I'm very excited.

I'm trying to follow this noob-friendly guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2213910 . I read it like ten times already, but I still have some questions.
1. I want to have a CM rom. Should I get Lloir's CM 12.1 or the official CM 11? The thing is, I won't be able to get another rom for almost a year and I want a quite stable rom.
2. I guess I should install the latest TWRP 2.8 recovery from this forums, am I right? But then, why on the official CM download page there is a separate "Cyanogen Recovery" file?
3. According to the tutorial, I should install SuperSu, is this the right version?
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
4. The thing I'm worried about mostly - my digitizer is damaged and I sometimes get "phantom touches", I can't tap anything on screen, the only solution is screen off & on. What if phantom touches appear when I'm in recovery? From what I read most things are controlled by physical buttons (which work), but not all, some requires to swipe. What then? Can I turn the screen off or abort the process and start again?

Thanks in advance for every reply. :)

Note 4 looping on first start up screen

Hoping for some advice how to get Sprint Note 4 running again. The phone has never been rooted. Up until a couple of weeks ago most of the OTA updates had been received and applied no problem. A couple of weeks ago my wife pulled it out of her bag and showed me it was on the update screen and had been for a couple of hours eventually the batter went dead. We took out the dead battery charged it and tried to restart. It goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 white on black screen vibrates twice then the screen goes black and it repeats the same thing over and over.
Now i'm not sure how to proceed. I'm familiar with Odin and rooting my own phones but leave my wifes stock normally.

First i tried reset in recovery - When i boot to recovery after a few seconds the android robot lies on its back with a red triangle over it. At the top of the recovery screen it says Android system recovery - LRX22C.N910PVPU3BOF5. I tried wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partion and rebooting but makes no difference.

I thought install official firmware manually
I put the phone in download mode it displays
current binary: samsung official
system status: official
reactivation lock: off
knox warranty void: 0x0
I downloaded a stock firmware N910PVPU3BOF5_N910PSPT3BOF5_N910PVPU3BOF5_HOME.tar .md5
installed Odin3 v3.10.6.exe
installed F/W this using Odin.
Odin finishes normally, box turns green and PASS! but the phone just restarts and does the boot looping thing.

I don't know what to do next - suggestions? Thanks

Huawei Honor 4x first time root without losing stock ROM and current config / apps

Hi.
I have requested my unlock code for the bootloader from Huawei.
When I unlock my boot loader using ADB will this cause the phone to reset to factory default or will it retain my existing configuration?
I am quite happy with the phone as it is but I would like to be able to install some of my root apps such as Titanium Backup, Juice Defender etc
Is this possible to do without breaking the existing ROM and my current configuration?
I dont want to load a custom ROM and lose my current factory stable setup.

Many thanks.

Rob.

Need help flashing device and using CWM and flashtool (First time user)

Hello
I am attempting to flash my Xperia Z ultra sol24 variant for the first time. However I am running into problems and cannot seem to make any progress.

Ultimately, the goal is to root the device, unlock the sim carrier (au_kiddy) and flash the device to the c6833 Global rom, whilst keeping the 32gb internal storage that this latest variant (sol24 Japan only) comes with.

I am following the guide here (Its in three steps):

1. http://tealic.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/1663/


2. http://tealic.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/1664/


3. http://tealic.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/1665/

Firstly (http://tealic.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/1663) I was told to backup and make a ftf backup using the sony PC companion and flashtool which I have done. The ftf file I had created is SOL24_14.3.C.0.239_au_KDDI.ftf

Then after doing so, the guide says to download the android SDK and adt bundle, then download the latest xperiaRootkit (rootkitXperia_20140719.zip) and extract the rootkit to platform tools folder of SDK and connect my XU to the pc using usb debugging the run the bat which will essentially root my device.
After doing so I downloaded the SuperSU app and finished the root.

I was then told to download the two files from (http://htcsoku.info/htcsokudev/rudim...aledition-rom/)
SOL24_Xperia_Z_Ultra_GlobalEdition_1.20.973.4.zip
SOL24_Xperia_Z_Ultra_GlobalEdition_Baseband.ftf
And place the GlobalEdition_1.20.973.4.zip onto my SD card, then using the XZU&Z1recoveryv4Windows tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8#post45149758) boot into CWM mode and install the zip.

That is where my problem started, and upon installing the SOL24_Xperia_Z_Ultra_GlobalEdition_1.20.973.4.zip I selected the "reboot" option and upon reboot, it was stuck at the SONY logo and the phone would not boot any further.
I hard reset the XU and tried using the flashtool to flash SOL24_Xperia_Z_Ultra_GlobalEdition_Baseband.ftf as that is the next step, however the device was still stuck at the sony logo. So I attempted to flash my pre-made SOL24_14.3.C.0.239_au_KDDI.ftf file back to the device, which worked, but took me back to where I started.

I am trying to redo the steps above but I am getting an error, I have re-installed the XZU&Z1 recovery v4 Windows tool to the device, however it will not let me enter CWM mode on startup (The phone does not vibrate, nor does the green led appear) it just skips straight to the xperia logo and boots.

Is it possible that I have somehow flashed my pre-made SOL24_14.3.C.0.239 ftf incorrectly? There are three columns, "Wipe" "Exclude" and "MiscTA exclude" on the side of the flashtool that I have played around with, however after flashing a few times and going through the steps I'm still unable to get the CWM tool to work, and am ultimately stuck at the moment.

I feel this can be easily resolved, however I am not sure which ftf to download or even how to properly flash the ftf(What do I need to exclude from the ftf flash?)
Can I please request some assistance?

Eu model first boot "checking connection"

Got two brand new OnePlus two's a day apart probably from the same batch.

On first launch it always got stuck on the checking connection

Tried both with

• Vodafone lte


• EE lte


• bt hotspot


• Vodafone hotspot

Multiple restarts did nothing
My guess was that some initialisation step happened at the factory and something funky was in the cache or data so I factory reset both devices (one day apart) and that solved it for me.
. After the reset and booting up it ran the updating android process which it did not before and then it worked flawlessly connecting to the networks

Hope this helps anyone and hope OnePlus fix this!

S6 920F stuck at first boot screen

Hi everyone my story goes like this...

im currently on axism rom which is lollipop 5.0.2 and i wanted to go to 'xtrestolite deo-dexed rom' which is lollipop 5.1.1 and noticed i needed to flash bootloader and modem for 5.1.1 so i did this using odin and now it will not boot i now realise that it says this will not work with a stock kernel which im geussing the axism rom has so how do i get myself out of this mess any help asap would be greatly appreciated

I've installed CM11 + Gapps 4.4 aroma and stuck at first boot

Hi all, I would just let know (I don't have yet 10 post to write this in the proper section), that this combination failed miserably.. It look like the two packages are compatible but in the end I had an error on the first boot.

I'm just reporting because I won't flash again

First time custom rom

Alright so I have been wanting to change my htc one (802w/dual sim) from android 5.0.2, back to 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 though I want a full stock/htc like software of the android version.

I found some here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2617159
I've got a few questions though as I am a bit afraid I might harm my phone (saw some posts that some phones might break down and not function again..)

First thing about the RUU and firmware, I figured some stuff but please correct me if I'm wrong:
I will be downloading Android 4.2.2 RUU version: 2.19.401.1 - then OTA update version: 2.41.401.1-2.19.401.1 (should be still android 4.2.2 according to the collection thread)
And to be able to get to android 4.4.2 (might not need 4.4.3) I will download OTA 4.21.401.5-2.41.401.1

Well, is there anything wrong with the OTA versions or RUU?
Also, when I get to Android 4.2.2, can I just mainly check for updates over "Software updates" and will I get the updates from HTC? Or they will prevent it as I installed a *custom* rom?

And for the main thing, please link me any tutorial or guide (in-depth will be appreciated.. would like to know what I'm doing) to install the rom and any other files if needed.

Sorry for the long post, have a good day!

Regards,
Matt.

5 day N6 owner - my first monthly flash

Got my N6 from the Amazon sale. As the LMY48M factory image has just been posted, I want to make sure I do this right and not lose my data/settings since it's my first time.

Phone is XT1103. Unlocked 64 gig (non carrier/branded) but using a VZW Sim. Bootloader unlocked, rooted but still encrypted. Running TWRP-2.8.7.1. On LMY48I currently.

Are these the only commands I need to execute to update but not lose the data/settings (actual IMG file names taken from the 48M image)?

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.10.img
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.101.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Am I missing anything? I believe after I do this I will have lost root but I'll use CF-Root to get it back.

Thanks

New Moto G, what first?

So my Moto G just showed up. [emoji1]

I am thinking before I insert SIM or restore any data, should probably fire it up, skip all the setup, and let it OTA to the current firmware... Then factory default and start clean. Any reason not to do that or other thoughts?

Newbie Updating from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1 , but need advice first

Hi Guys,
I've been doing searches on here all night and I'm more confused than ever.
I just got a like new m8 that's still on 4.4.2.
I just rooted it with weaksauce. I would like to update to 5.0.1 and be able to root. I'm not sure if I need for s-off or unlocked bootloader, but I think I read some of these should be done before updating to lollipop.

I was planning to update with the ruu update from HTC website.
I think I read that I can't do the ruu update if I'm unlocked or s-off, but I can't unlock or s-off after updating to 5.0.1

Can someone who knows what's up with this clarify things for me? I don't want to update without being sure I have everything set right in advance.

Galaxy S6 Can't root as it needs "Unlock" first

Hi team,
I have just successfully rooted my Galaxy S4 and wanted to continue with me new S6 Model SM-G9200. When pressing the buttons to go into download mode, the screen turns light blue with a message to "Unlock" the phone first and ask Samsung.com/cn (which of course is pointless). The phone has no Sim lock and I really wonder if anyone had the same problem and how to solve it.
Carrier is China Mobile Hong Kong.
Thanks for any advice you may have.
Cheers!
