Please point me to a good ROM

Hey guys, I have a Huawei Ascend P7, but I never got an update since when I got it. It's on P7-L10V100R001C00B158 since like forever! Still on EMUI 2.3 and the system is starting to show age, I want to update to a newer/better ROM, but I don't know which one is the best out there, and I don't know how to install a ROM, I've never done it before. So if anyone would be kind enough to point me to the right direction?

Thanks

Any point to keeping Knox?

I bought my Tab Pro 10.1 in the U.S. and live in Canada so warranty is worthless to me, and I very much doubt I will get to BYOD where I work. Is there even the faintest value in preserving my device's virginity and not giving it the experience of a rooted Lollipop (assuming I like LP which I do)?

Point me in the right direction!

Hello all!

I've been a creeper around here since 2010 (obviously not on the G4 forum), and I have just now decided to register. I got into rooting and ROM'ing with my Droid X, and now I'm a "phone enthusiast" (I suppose that's what you can call someone who irresponsibly spends money on different phones).

So I'm a third year Computer Security student at my University and I know languages like Java and C. Java, being the language that Android is based on, and C, being the basis for Linux systems, I would imagine to be very beneficial to me in Android development. Basically, what I'm trying to find is a good resource to tell me how all of the system image files work. I've had to reflash firmware plenty of times and know of the system files like system.img, boot.img, etc. and I want to know how they all work and work together.

My end goal is to be able to unlock the bootloader (which I imagine is decrypting the file and editing something within it) for the community. But, I can't even try to do that without knowing how all of this stuff works together and what exactly it means in the technical sense to unlock the bootloader.

Are there people on this forum who know or a resource to learn about this stuff, or a user who is experienced enough to explain to me how this all would work?

PS. I know there are some really smart people working on unlocking it, and I'm certainly not trying to jump in and act like I can do it. I'm just purely curious in trying to do this.

Thanks in advance!

What's the point of updating the bootloader/modem, in simple language?

From what I understand there is some murky comptability issues with newer roms and older modems/bootloaders. The modem makes a little sense to me, network infastructure changes, the bootloader, not so much

where is the test point on the xperia TL?

i was wondering where the test point for this phone is? i have opened it and found around 4 or so points but i dont know which is the right one. can someone show me? i need to unbrick a xperia TL.

Unable to return to stock or use Fastboot at this point...?

So, in an attempt to return my device back to stock using the firmware1 and firmware2 method with Fastboot own rebootRUU instead of the simple executable (stupid me, right?)
I had to downgrade my HBOOT from 1.54 to 1.33 to run the RUU. However, upon downgrading it, it said that I had to immediately flush the firmware to the phone for preupdating or whatever, but by that time the Fastboot connection broke for some reason and I wasn't able to type in anymore commands. So I had to restart my phone, and now I am unable to establish a Fastboot connection in bootloader anymore. For some reason the drivers work absolutely fine when booted into android. But when I'm in the bootloader, the My HTC driver loads with a Code 10 this device could not be started error, and using the RUU exe just gets stuck on the black HTC screen because it can't run any Fastboot commands.


XDA, wat do?

Thanks!

Point me to the right place for root steps by step

I'm on Build 1545VRUFNK4 and 4.4.2> tried towelroot but says device is not supported (tired 3 times). Aslo could not get Kingoroot to work.

No baseband- no IMEI not sure of anything at this point

I started with a fresh non altered I747m. The first thing I had to do was carrier unlock (PetroCAN sim) and then rooted the phone.
I pretty sure i did a cfroot and installed the newest pacman rom and all worked- just no internet ( the phone and texting worked) so I played with the APN for a while then decided to try a couple of MODEM zips (Rogers and AT&T) and flashed those in CWM.

Downhill fro there- No more SIM, no baseband- no IMEI no APN- could not even create an APN.

Tried diferent 511 ROMS (DU).
so then I did the even more stupid thing and retored the original NANDroid backup and now it is really bad- stuck on the samsung logo.

I did write down the IEMI number and I did check the baseband version (i did the check in like a dos screen on the phone) I747mluf0b1

What should I do now>?? i would be happy to return it all back to stock I really screwed this phone up bad
