I read and searched a lot on the forum before posting this.
1/ Why is there 1000 methods to flash a ROM?
2/ Do I need to do a partition in all cases?
3/ Is there a ROM for 32A that adds multi touch to my device?
4/ Might be a lot to ask but why is there no PROPER tutorial on how to install a ROM?
5/ Can I brick my phone?
Thanks for your time.
This is not a development question. This belongs in the Q&A section. Read the stickies. From those stickies, you would also see a Hacking Wiki for the sapphire.
Read that.

I use MyHero 1.1.3 (32A with BFS 303 kernel) and multitouch DOES work. But it needs to be supported by the software, works great in the browser for example.
Ok good to know, i was not quite sure about it

Erm .. there's only one way to flash a rom ..
- Download rom and copy it to the sd card root folder
- Boot into recovery
- Do a nandroid backup
- wipe
- Flash the new rom
- reboot

Thats what I was thinking too
and my fav question out of the list:
Can I brick my phone?
Let me answer this one... from your list of questions I find it hard to believe you even know what "brick" means (no offense) but you should NOT even attempt to change anything about your phone except for whats in the menu>settings>sounds/display area
and I'll say it again no offense but people like this that have no idea what their doing is why the companies are so against us gaining root access because yeah theres some of us that understand what we are doing and the concept of linux but then you have these people that have NO CLUE then screw their phones up and guess who they call... not the dev, but the company crying about how they need a new phone...
Bottom line is if you dont know what you doing, DONT DO IT!

---::: Ranking ROMS SGS :::---
V.1.20101123
- Added field "Profit Quadrant" to enter the test result.
- Fixed a bug that existed in the bar graph showing scores
- You can now view the dates of introduction of the system rom and when you last voted
- Fixed bugs in Opera and Chrome browsers.
- Now correctly redirects the ranking when the voting ends.
- Migrating Web and database hosting fee as in the former was produced much lag.
--> ! ViewRanding !<--
The thing is simple ... I have striven to rank so everyone can see how they are rated for the ROMs and you can also vote.
As you see in the image, each rom has a link that you can copy and paste in the first post of it.
The code makes an overall average and average for each feature of the rom (battery, gps, fluency ...).
NOTE: If this site does not automatically, there is a bar at the top where you can select the language.
All donations are welcome to help keep the site

I tested changing my browser language to English and everything works fine.

What on earth is this and what the heck does it have to do with Development?

You guys can't possibly be that lost can you ?
U go on the site, a toolbar says translate, you do so.
You realize its a site where you vote for different aspects of a rom so other users can find out the advantages/disadvantages of other roms.

But that's not possible ... if you check the quote I made of your post, you will see that is not a link.
At the time I try to create a link or refuses to quote me.
The only option is that a moderaror provide me that option. I have already asked.

Hi everyone! I'm new on xda, I really need help please.
I'm using an LG l22 isai, I have updated to android 4.4.2 v20b, now I am trying to root the device but I have an error. LG flash tools says "Model information check fail". Does anyone knows how to fix it? is there any dll file that bypass the verification and goes straight to the flashing? please help.

USB cable is not broken? Are you connected?
· Do you have installed the driver?
· DLL or thing that is compatible with the tot you are using?
· Flash Tool Are you running with administrator privileges? (You can run as an administrator by right-clicking)
Do you put in · Download Mode? You may have already confirmed, but please try to check the above points.

I double checked all of that, I re-downloaded all the files to make sure that the files are not broken or something, I run everything as admin but still no result, same problem .. it says "model information check fail".
Hmm even with another cable it fails but you can still boot normally into the android os right? Sorry if I am also giving some reactions a bit later but your problem only have a couple people with lots of time no reply or good answer. I am now busy with studying for 3 tests next week so when I am done then I will search more for you alright?

And i also don't know whether sharing links will ban me
It claims this is a sort of STOCK LG G2 5.0.1 KDZ

just in case you are new here, you should know that there are about 7-8 variants of the G2 with different hardware. Flashing the ROM for one in another will brick it (I should know!). This one is for the Korean version F320.

I see plenty of people asking for rooting help etc. I think we need a proper guide on how to backup TA partitions on M & N. How to restore. How to flash recovery and kernels and in which order. Which tools do you need and where do you get them and when everything is set and done, how to flash a rom.
A step-by-step guide.
I see answers like "just unlock and do this and that" which isn't answering peoples questions. And the result is just people asking "and how do i do that?" and the loop of replies with no content continues. I'd be more than happy to help, but havn't had the device for long, nor have i done anything to it yet. So i'm hardly the right person to do so, yet.
Why are you speaking for these 'plenty of people'? I don't see anyone asking, it's only you because you don't put effort into looking up and reading and you want everything to be served in your plate. Everything is very well written if you TRY to search for it.

If you read the question I posted, I said that for some people the information is not very clear and there are some things that haven't been specified. Especially for the xperia X, why are there so little threads and mods for it? Because it's new? Do you think there will be more mods and stuff in the future?

You should TRY and read the OP again, you clearly didn't get it.
And why i'm speaking for "those" people. Because no one else is. The difference is that i don't have any difficulties doing so, it doesn't bother me. You could've spend your time more productive coming up with suggestions to a possible solution, eliminating those "i need help rooting/flashing/blabla" threads. Whereas you choose the easy way and just be a prick about it.
you choose the easy way

Here you can find unofficial twrp for xperia x:
http://www.infectedbuilds.net/downloads/suzu/twrp/
Install with fastboot command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After flashing this twrp you probably cant access data partion in twrp, to fix this boot into twrp, do a factory whipe and format data partition.
If you want to root flash latest SuperSU: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703

In the future I will buy this phone but now without it I am unable to do some tutorial. I wish I had this phone right now because this phone is awesome and some days ago I destroyed my M4 Aqua.

relock ( use restore code in A) after that use flashtools to flash any firmware you want (like fall back MM)
ps: it is just a summary because you can fix any problem with gg in some other android devices.
ps2: dont use only one device forum to find your answer, try to find it from others. Because sony devices have same problem when flash OS )) or backup DRM and most them was answered so no one wanna write again again about same problem.
