This is my first real contribution to the forum, I hope some of you find this useful. Developers: If I missed anything important please let me know.

Simple Guide to Installing a ROM

Most of the process is trial and error and short of you working for Microsoft, there's never going to be a manual. There are many guides out there by people smarter than me so this is "Idiot's Guide" as it were.

Hopefully this streamlines the process...

Install Windows Mobile Device Center if you haven't already.

Also as pointed out below you need to CID unlock your phone. Instructions and links to the software needed can be found HERE

Find a version (build) that you like or try a bunch of them (that's the best way)... when your looking at the forum that this post is made in you'll know that your looking at a ROM because the post title will tell you that it's a ROM. Don't download developer builds or anything that says "beta" until you know what your doing.

Once you have your ROM ready make sure your battery is at at least 50% (that's the standard answer, I've installed with as little as 20%, but it's my phone to F up so if you F up your phone by not following the 50% rule, that's on you).

Sync your phone with Windows Mobile Device Center and leave your phone connected.

Run the EXE usually named something like RUUWrapper.exe and follow the onscreen instructions.

Ba-da-bing you've got a new ROM installed.

I know you want to do good, but yeah you missed something

seriously

important. For a post dedicated to newbies, you MUST remind to INSTALL HardSPL. It's the first thing you should say!!! Who cares about battery if you even install something to allow a safe flash!

And by the way this is a far better explanation on what people shoud do, it's the first sticky of this section and it is idiot proof : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299462 .

But still thank you for trying to explain it simply. But remind people to use the safety belt!

edit : I read your post again, I think you missed the point. It's not just SuperCIDing the phone, it's about securing the rom from bad flash. There are method of SuperCIDing (first of them is to unlock the phone with a commercial software) without installing HardSPL. And HardSPL IS the important thing. It protects the flashing process, but in the same time allow to bypass the CID protection. But the security reason is the point!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TomorrowSpace:
No problem mate, thank you for the apology, I apologize for taking it personally myself, it struck me as a little harsher than I believe you meant it which is why I reacted the way I did.

As far as the SuperCID, I admit, I forgot. It is a very important step in the process, but it's been a while since I had to do it since I did it and I just forgot, which was why I asked the people with real knowledge to correct me if I was wrong (the bolded part of the original message).

The only reason I put this thread up was because like everyone else I'm sick of people asking the first most basic question of "how and what" that we hear in at least one forum everyday and I thought if there was a flat basic basic tutorial people might quit asking. Heck, if people see the post and then read your 1st reply they get the link to an in depth tutorial and my goal is still accomplished.

Honestly it was all done out of selfishness. I though maybe if I could cut down on the crap in the forum, I could find ROMS easier since there really isn't a way to sort anything in vBulletin (boo! prefer ipb myself, but not my show so not my call).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tonidekohlanta:
I understood exactly why you started your thread, and I'm also annoyed by the same newbies questions, that can be prevented by little search and common sense. But actually your thread will not be sticky, so it will disappear as soon as we will stop discussing here. So maybe it was not a worth thing to do. But as you said, the link to MrVanx thread is there, so yeah, mission accomplished. And good luck "cutting the crap" (you are also fond of some very very bad words!).

[HTC Startrek] geekzilla65:
All,

I downloaded the original Cingular/ATT Rom, just in case, and bought Sprite and backed up my settings. I downloaded SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe and ran it (from my PC, is this correct?). SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe seemed to run okay, and gave me the message "SDA Successfully unlocked, Please Reboot SDA Now!". I rebooted my phone and did not notice a change (I assume I should?) I ran the Rom update for WM6.1 Standard, which opened up a DOS-looking box that stayed there forever and did not indicate it was doing anything. After just over an hour I disconnected my phone and rebooted it, no change.

My questions:

1) Do I run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe from my PC or from the WM phone itself?

2) Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?

3) What does CID Unlock do, and do I need it?

Just to review, I have a Cingular 3125 with WM5, and I want to go to WM6.1 Standard.

Please help! Thanks!

You were supposed to run Jump SPL on your phone which puts it into a special bootloader then run the update utility should run correctly. I personally prefer the MicroSD flash method myself.
[HTC Startrek] geekzilla65:
Jump SPL?

Thanks icecube57!

I know that SPL files were copied to my phone automatically when I ran Rom updater, but I don't think it ever launched. I am really confused about the CID unlock. I read one post where it says I have to do this, and another that says for Cingular Roms you don't need to.

Also, you mention the MicroSD flash method - is there a post here that explains how to do that? I would not mind trying it if you think it works better. Please help!

Frank

geekzilla65
[HTC Startrek] icecube57:
If i dont say it someone else will. Please use the search function.

If the utility didnt automatically launch the Jump Spl program then navigate to the root of your phone using file explorer start it manually from your phone and it will put the phone into bootloader then try running the utility again. Thats how i had to do it with my phone
[HTC Startrek] geekzilla65:
Thanks

Okay, that's fair, thanks. Can I get an answer on one more thing? I did look in the forums, in the Wiki ,etc. on this - I am still confused on what CID unlock is. I really don't want to brick my phone. When this worked for you, was this on a Cingular 3125? Did you have to CID unlock?

Frank

geekzilla65
[HTC Startrek] icecube57:
What you are talking about permenantly CID unlocks the phone which allows you to flash any rom. Instead of being stuck with carrier specific roms. What the JUMP SPL does is loads a specially modified bootloader that temporarily fakes the Update Utility into thinking your phone is CID unlocked that way you can flash any rom without going through that long complicated process in making it permenantly CID unlocked. I have a 3125 myself and flashes all the roms in this forum fine with the Jumps SPL Bootloader method.

Hi guys, did someone managed to pass Safetynet test with rooter oneplus 10 pro ?

I tried to hide Magisk and use zygisk like I was doing with my op3t. But not passing safetynet here.

I'm with last Magisk version (24.3)

Managed to pass basic intégrity but CTS is failing. The goal is to use Google pay

Thanks !

Mines not passing either..

I may revert back to Magisk 23.. at least it worked and had regular settings, not this zygisk weirdness.

[Redmi Note 10] x3r0.13urn:
Hi,

As everyone knows, up till now there's no recovery yet able to decrypt the A12 encryption.

Since this device is an A/B with dynamics, somehow I always failed to flash DFE after successfully flash A12 rom + format + flash rec to ramdisk + reboot to rec + flash gapps + flash dfe

Flashing gapps after reboot to rec is always successful, yet not the zip to disable encryption (any kind of disable force encrypt zip from here https://xdaforums.com/t/script-flas...-10-pro-miui-vendor-oss-vendor-sweet.4276559/)

Flashing DFE right after flashing rom won't work (I expected it), or any combination of it (didn't flash gapps, sideload dfe). Always fails in mounting /vendor

I've tried looking for similar topic, the closest one was Poco F3 thread (https://xdaforums.com/t/disable-force-encryption-dfe-for-poco-f3-alioth-decryption-data.4317277/). Maybe someone has managed to pull one off for Redmi Note 10?

It's quite lengthy process (mounting, extracting super partition, repacking super, etc.) and the latest zip file seems tailored just for Poco F3 device.

I recalled the DFE/or any disable force encryption is about patching the fstab.qcom to include flag to disable the encryption.

I know with dynamics part now is hard to edit anything inside the super part (if it's not impossible), but gapps is able to mount it (though it's only /system)

Why does it fail in mounting /vendor?

I just like to try keeping twrp/orangefox with decrypted storage. Is anyone able to stay decrypted with A12/A12L without similar method for Poco F3?

I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! I thought I was going crazy. The only added info I can give is that I set an alarm last Saturday night for Sunday morning - DST change weekend. I set it for 7am - thinking the clock would change time overnight (it did) and alarm me at 7am NEW time.

I got an alarm at 6am (new time) and again at 7 (the one that was actually set). All week since, it's been going off every morning at 6am. I've disabled ALL alarms, and it still goes off. I've tried changing the time to 5:59am, and letting it tick through 6am - it will not go off then.

If anyone has any answers, I'd be much obliged to hear them - before tomorrow at 6am :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scowltura:
Sounds like there are extra notifications in the notifications queue. I had a similar problem on my 8125 once. Get Memmaid (the trial should work just fine) and do a memory cleaning and go into the notifications queue and delete all duplicates. If that does not solve it, look in the queue and look for an alarm at 6am and delete it. That should take care of it I think. Good luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] radi0chik:
interesting program thanks for the tip! I did a memory cleaning and then went into the notification queue. I couldn't find a 6am (or anything that resembled that) entry, but I did select "time based", "classic time based" and "event based" and asked it to "rebuild notification queue" - I'll let you know sometime after 6am tomorrow if it worked. :) Thanks again!

there are only 3 spots for alarms...and there are no other notifications or reminders for anything else, especially not for the same time every freaking day at that same time

Hello there

I bought my SM-A125F\DS a few months ago and rooted it. It was working fine. A few weeks ago, I changed my SIM card, made a phone call and put my phone aside and didn't check it for a couple of hours. When I picked it up again, I saw no antenna bars. Turns out I have no IMEI on either SIM slots (says Unknown in About Phone tab). Since I kept no backups, I download the latest ROM from Samfrew and flashed it using Odin. I also ticked Nand Erase and PIT reset. Still no IMEI. And now Android OS is eating 99% of my memory and it just keeps restarting.

Now I am trying to relock the bootloader using ADB before taking it to a service center. Connecting my phone and entering either one of

fastboot flashing lock, fastboot oem lock, and fastboot oem relock

gives me

FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

fastboot: error: Command failed

Any help on either step of the way is much appreciated.

P.S. I am no tech savvy. The more detailed your answer, the better.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] V0latyle:
I believe the bootloader is locked in much the same way it is unlocked. Reboot to download mode, hold one of the Volume buttons until the bootloader screen appears, and select the option to relock your device.

Before you do that, though, I would suggest performing a complete flash with data wipe using Odin.

This IMEI bug could be due to rooting.
