Almost all ROMS are stable, but there is no 'best' ROM.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Does stable mean "Won't crash on me frequently?" or "bug free"? Anyway, checking the ROM's thread usually answers both questions, most list bugs in the OP. :)

i need a bug free ROM sir and fast too ^_^
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamareebjamal:
You have to do some work for that first

Look in Development Section, there are many ROMs, check their OP, you'll find what bugs they have.

Almost all custom ROMs except CM7 and CM9 are rock stable
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envy-X:
Basically every 2.3.6 stock based Rom is fully bugless and stable. 2.3.7/CM7 Roms are stable with minor bugs.

When I try to unisntall the program because it contains some seriouis bugs in combination with the magician, it just keeps on going with the microsoft turning icon, nothing happens. I have to do a soft reset to be able to work with the magician again, and then pbt is still on it.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Sander:
Never mind, problem solved. After waiting a very long time before soft resetting, the todayplugin part of PBT was gone. After that it still was in the software list, but after removing it again it is now completly gone. (aswell as my active sync via bluetooth :cry: )
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tunx:
hey

i think u r using the wrong version of pbt

try using the Version 1.0.1.2 (Installation through Windows PCs)

it works like a charm on my o2 mini

the higher versions r not as stable as this one
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
But what's the point of using this software? I was told it enable BT Activesync but I found I can do that w/o this software now.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tunx:
well if u can .. nothing like it

but

for people like me who were unable to .....

it is a beautiful software
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Sander:
Thats true, I had it working twice without it, (on my 1.01 and 1.06 rom) and with the 1.11 rom I didnt feel like going through it all again, with PBT it worked instantly. Thnx for the tip btw, will try it now

edit: Installed it, works immediately again. I hope the bugs are gone now...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elderap:
I'm with android 4.3 and 4.2 bootloader, is there any advantage in upgrading to 4.3 booteloader? What would it be?
[Android] GeekyDroid:
In this guide I will show you how to build a flashable zip from Stock Firmware.

It's my first guide on XDA so please leave feedbacks and comment it below! :)

What you need:

1.A stock ROM of your device

2.Cygwin Kitchen-See HERE for seting it up

3.TWRP/CWM or any other custom recovery

NOTE: If you get a status 0 error while flashing the ZIP, follow this instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2186015

It shows you how to set the mount points of a device in kitchen. It will fix your status 0 error, if you follow properly! ;)

Let's go:

1.For a CWM/TWRP flashable zip the zip must contain these 3 working things:

*META-INF Folder

*system Folder

*boot.img

The rest is optional

So to get these things you need to take the Stock ROM's zip and modify it!

My structure of the Stock ROM is like this:

That's a factory-update of Prestigio Multiphone 3500 DUO

But there are also other structures like this:

Now I will show you how to build a flashable CWM/TWRP zip with a zip from Structure1:

1.Open Cygwin kitchen folder

2.Copy system.img and boot.img to kitchen/original_update

3.Open Kitchen

4.Select Option "1"

5.Type "1"

6.Now it will create a working folder in kitchen folder and an updater-script will be added

7.Now select Option "99"

8.Now follow on-screen instructions and a flashable zip will be created in OUTPUT_ZIP folder

This Guide showed only this method to build custom recovery flashable zip if you stuck at another structure comment below or PM me and if much are requesting me I will post another method as soon as possible.

Please leave Feedbacks(I'm happy for every Feedback :) ) and don't forget to hit thank you if you like it!​

Dear,

I already follow the tutorial, but when I tried to flash the ZIP file always fail.

after flashing it is showing status 0 , installation aborted what to do....
[Android] GeekyDroid:
I see, you haven't set mount points. I think I should make a tutorial on how to do this, but I don't know how to do this for now. As for my device there is already mount points set by default. I will try to learn it and give a tutorial soon! :)

[Android] Jabar678:
Ok but how do i pull the stock ROM out of my phone first? :)
[Android] GeekyDroid:
If you have a CWM recovery, you can make a nandroid backup and then in the backup folder you can find the system.img and boot.img. Or you can try to get stock ROM from official site of your mobile manufacturer. :)
[Android] Jabar678:
I've got a CWM-based recovery and I've already done a backup but when I try to open an archiwe it won't open. I'm not sure but I think it might be because of the recovery being CWM-based and not an official CWM... But thank you for the advice :)
[Android] GeekyDroid:
Yes it might be because of that. I'm not an expert in ported recoveries, but maybe you could fix that by unpaking the image and check the mountpoints. I hope I could help you! :)
[Android] migui0401:
I have a phone which doesn't has support from CWM/TWRP if i do this, could i flash this via stock recovery? Or could you tell how to create an update.zip for flashing, since the system folder?

Hi, nice guide.

I tried to make flashable zip from latest Android Lollipop preview for Nexus7, but I can´t flash it (in MultiRom) because "file_contexts" is missing in zip :(

Can you help me?
[Android] GeekyDroid:
Hi, sorry I can't help you in this! For flashing a ZIP through recovery you need a "special" signed ZIP, which can only do the manufacturer of the phone.

Hi, I guess this is because you are not using a Lollipop compatible recovery!
[Android] scottesmith2009:
fixing signed flashable .zip files needed on stock recovery update

You could try installing xposed installer (xposed framework) on JB or KITKAT then install and activate DisableSignatureCheck module, making sure the box is checked. then flash unsigned .zip files through stock recovery if possible. I haven't tried it yet so i could be wrong. I'll let u know when i port and flash cm 11 for mtk8382 device I'm using now. Just an idea...
[Android] CVAngelo:
Dumb newbie here with a dumb newbie question

Apologies for my ignorance, but unless you're into making and distributing custom ROMs, why would anyone care about a flashable ZIP especially if you could only extract the firmware in the first place with a tool that also allows you to RESTORE what you've extracted? What's so hard about clicking the restore button? What am I missing here?

Oops. That was three questions. Like I said, I'm a dummy.
[Android] GeekyDroid:
Sorry for the late reply, I'm not very often on this forum anymore, as you can see. Well, you can only flash stock ROM with stock recovery and this guide explains how to convert that stock recovery flashable ZIP/Firmware into a custom recovery flashable ZIP. Got it? If you have any further questions, quote this reply please. :)

Help me upgrade my phone :(

Hi! Droid, please help me out this, I am newbie in android roms editing and development, I have few questions for which I made a thread also but nobody seems to pay attention to it, that's why I came here on your thread because I think you can help me :crying: I have Huawei Ascend G700 and I have checked everywhere that no custom roms are available for this phone with latest android, company also hasn't released anything new software for this, neither anyone seems to be discussing about this phone here, it seems like this phone has been outcasted :( I want to upgrade my phone on my own but I don't know what to do anymore. because I have few questions before I could manage to do anything.

1. I have made backup of my stock ROM using CWM.

2. I want to install lollipop on my phone, can I install any lollipop rom on my phone will it start to work? if not then what things make roms device specific? what should I do to make it work on my phone?

3. Do I have to port the rom before flashing it? if yes then what things should I port? camera, kernel, radio... etc anything else? and how?

4. Do I need to use kernel, camera, radio from my backed up stock rom? Can I do that?

5. Also I want to get rid of Huawei UI emotion I hate this look. also googleplay have some bug in this phone in which icon background turns black this is sore to eyes.

NOTE# My objective is to change the overall look into basic lollipop and upgrade my phone into lollipop, with the latest kernel, radio and camera if possible and if it's not possible then can I use my stock roms kernel, and camera? Is there anyway to add those things into any Lollipop rom and make it work for my phone?

6. My phone is dual sim is there anything that I need to keep in mind before doing that? what roms will be suitable?

Please please..Help me :(

Bro Whenever i make a flashable rom from kitchen for mtk and i have installed all the mtk plugins still it does not flash the stock rom to my device..... coz the updater script is not extracted properly

i have many system.img files like system_1.img,etc.... what i can do?
[Android] waheem:
Sir I have a qution in stock rom cache.img and recovery and much more only system and boot enough to create a working zip
[Android] GeekyDroid:
1. That's great. Always make a backup, kids!

2. No, you cannot simply install any ROM on your device. The device specifications make it specific. Every device has diffirent components, like sensors, CPU, GPU, display and such.

3. You should look for a device that it similiar to yours. Then you should look for some guides, there tons of it here on the forums.

4. Yes, you should definetly replace some components from your stock to your port ROM.

5. Then you should look for a device with some AOSP ROM which has close specs to your device.

6. I cannot answer that question because I never had my hands on development on a dual SIM device.

Does your device has other ROMs? Then copy the part which gives you the errors from another ROM in the updater-script.

Good question, because I have no idea. Is it a Motorola device? They mostly take a part the system images so they can be flashed, because there is a limit you can flash on a device at one time.

Yes, you basically just need the system and the boot image.
[Android] Harietta:
Hello Sir, As you said I should look for a device close to my specs, I know one that is sony xperia c which uses same chipset almost same everything and have upgraded version of android, but I don't know why huawei failed to release any software update for this chipset while sony has done it already, the reason everyone giving for that is that for rom development kernel code is needed which is not available for huawei g700 device, but if the sony xperia c uses same chipset then are there any possibilities that it also might be using same kernel because they have same chipset? and both are dual sim devices, can I port my stock rom to sony xperia c Rom? as both seems similar except the resolution are bit different, but that could be fixed through codes I guess? even If I port my stock rom into latest Xperia c rom is it necessary that both android versions have to be same? like my phone has 4.2.1 but xperia c have 4.2.2, I want to replace everything of my phone except I want to keep the camera as it works great. but if the sony camera works same then I would like to repalce everything both phone have same specifications the CPU the chipset the GPU the sensors and everything, Do you think If use xperia c rom for porting my phone then it is going to work?
[Android] akshay pro:
Bro then you have to use the tool kitchen provides and extract it to the specified folder

Thank you so much brother, this ROM means so much to me as Emotion UI is literally annoying for me, I want to confirm that have you tried this ROM? are you sure this is going to work? and what do you think about xperia c rom which is same chipset can I use that?

and yeah I am sorry if quoting goes wrong I am new to forums I don't know exactly how to do that =D
[Android] waheem:
There is a lollipop for gionee p2 mt6572
[Android] akshay pro:
Even if it has the same chipset your device hasn't recived any kitkat or lollipop upgrade so if u try porting any 4.4.x/5.0.x roms you will brick ur device. First learn how to port kernals / how to make one then you can try it at your own risks
[Android] waheem:
I have done and port a mt6572 custom rom successfully before there is any stayable official lollipop for daily use that can I port
[Android] akshay pro:
I have a Mt6582 device. saying frankly ihave have ported many roms but have not tried this one as i have just started cross porting. the roms work smooth, free from bugs if u know how to clear the bugs.

as of now this should work on your device.

I DONT WANT TO USE TWRP OR ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY TO FLASH THEM SO I GOT CLEAN INSTALLATION. THANKS IN ADVANVE. :good::o
[Android] CVAngelo:
You cannot flash anything except signed stock firmware from manufacturer with stock recovery! You can only flash unsigned firmware with a custom recovery!
[Android] OPBB:
OK you're saying that nandroid backup WHICH I have is useless without TWRP. NOW tell me if I want to convert not to extract the SYSTEM. EXT4.WIN to SYSTEM. IMG. so it remain intact and I will flash it using fastboot mode.
[Android] CVAngelo:
Yes that's correct. You don't need a custom recovery and you don't even need to be rooted to flash stock images (or custom images) using fastboot mode. Provided your phone can enter fastboot mode and the bootloader is not locked.
[Android] OPBB:
Please tell me the procedure to convert the SYSTEM. EXT4.WIN to SYSTEM. IMG

Any idea???
[Android] CVAngelo:
From what I can recall, these WIN files are really just zipped up TAR files. So change the extension from .win to .tar and then unzip with Winrar. I think that the resulting file will be another zip file. So unzip that too until you get the .img file extracted.

It's been a while since I did this. You may need to search XDA to confirm.

OK bro I will try this and update you and sorry for my late reply.

Rename it to just .tar instead of .md5. Now it is a tar file which you can unzip with winrar. The first unzip may give you a zip. Just continue to unzip until you get the resulting raw files.
