I want to flash a custom ROM such as some CM 12 or any other stable on this Micromax Canvas Fire 2(A104)but I cant access the custom recovery some way.
I need a method to install the custom rom via some tool or maybe adb or something i.e basically from PC.is it possible to install custom rom by pc anyway?
I know stock rom can be flashed with SP Flash Tool but same is not possible for Custom Rom's, I guess.
Any help appreciated.

Hey,
So I have finally got to the point I'm ready to custom rom and root my s4, I've been through this process with other devices before (mostly HTC and Samsung tabs) but would like to check my understanding is correct before I jump in with the s4.
I have a 9500 running stock 4.3 android, and connected to 4g in my home network.
My understanding of the process to get a custom recovery, root and custom rom is:
Use odin to install CF-auto.
My understanding is this will get me root but without a custom recovery like Cwm or touch etc.
Then use odin to install philztouch.
My understanding is this will give me a custom recovery installer.
Download custom rom and install this custom rom after a full backup and wipe (as per specific rom instructions).
Sorry this might seem a simple question but I haven't been able to find a complete answer or sticky really.
Is the above the right understanding / process to get root, Cwm and custom rom on my i9500?
Thanks for the help,
Andy
All correct :highfive:
I have:
Lenovo P1ma40 with last stock ROM (S040_170106_16G_ROW)
Root access
microSD card
stock recovery (but I cat flash TWRP 2.8.7.3)
So, is it possible to install some custom ROMs to sd card, without replacing stock firmware?

Yes, it's possible, but the stuff to do it isn't available for all devices.
Some options are:
1) Safestrap recovery- this tool lets you keep the stock ROM and install custom ROMs inside Safestrap, then when you boot your device, you choose whether you want to boot stock or one of the custom ROMs. This is a dead project though, if you want it to support your device, you'll probably have to build a version of Safestrap for yourself so that it supports your device, then, if there are no custom ROMs available for your device, you'd have to build the custom ROMs for yourself also.
2) if you can flash TWRP and if there is a version of the Multi-ROM custom ROM for your model number, you can use it. Multi-ROM is a ROM that is built to boot different ROMs.

Hi Guys,
I have a N910F Device , so I have yesterday worked on Rooting the Rom and Install Custom Rom.
I have using a Tutorial from Saarliner Rom Devloper and his Rom N4Rom but after I have flashing TWRP over Odin and get in Odin and erase all and install Rom there were Bootloop.
After I have flashed Remix Rom Project or other Rom ever and ever the Same ever Bootloop
My Question what I have make wrong?
- Download Mode
-TWRP Recover flashing
- Erease all up to Point Micro SD
- Flashing New Rom
Isn´t Correct that?
I knowing from S2/S3/S4/S5
First Root stock Rom then TWRP then Custom Rom or was it right?
1. 910F is known to have an eMMC problem - read about it
2. when you flash an 910F it is advised to do it in a cool environment - no joke, get a fan to blow on it or something - because heat produce the damage from point 1
3. it looks ok what you did, but did you updated to the ROM required BL and Modem ? did you respected all the instructions? why don't you try to talk with the saarliner rom creator/developer?
To 1. isn´t present , because Stock Rom are working fine and without any Reboots or Errors.
To 2. yes it was very hot.
To 3. Yes i did and yes i have read it 2 times, so my Question is when I would like to install a Custom Rom, i must have a rooted Stock then Recovery TWRP flash then Custom Rom isn´t it?
Because the Way from Saarliner look like not complete, i can´t imagen that it work so in the Tutorials. The Developer self has a Broken N4.

Not obligatory to have a rooted stock. After flashing TWRP, you can root it also - my advice is to use Magisk for root.
Also as advice - if saarliner rom is not working, try some other rom. The snapdragon forum has some roms, both touchwiz based and AOSP.
I will try it out.
I tried to install a custom rom on a a6000. I installed the lolipop stock rom on top of the KitKat stock rom, and managed to boot to it without a problem. I then installed TWRP installed is: 3.3.1-0, and tried to install a custom rom (more specifically I tried this unofficial Lineage). For some reason, the installation fails with:
e3004: This package is for device: Kraft-T, a6000, K30-T,A6000, Kraft-W, Kraft-C, k30t, msm8916,Kraft-A6000,wt86518; this device is .
Updated process ended with ERROR 7

when booting into the stock lolipop rom installed I can see that the device is the A6000. I find it strange how the recovery doesn't write which device it is on this error message.
What am I missing here? Usually with other phones, as long as you manage to install a custom recovery then it's a breeze. I cannot figure out how the custom roms don't get installed. Any help appreciated
Managed to flash it in the end. The flash files contain assertions checking if the zip is okay to be flashed on the device (whether the model is the one intended for example).
I found it strange that the error message did not show the model of my device as I was 100% sure it is a A6000 and that is a ROM intended for it.
I ended up overriding the assertion in the file, which seemed to be straightforward to do and the image was flashed without any issues.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME unless you are 10000% sure the image is intended for the device. ?

Hi... Actually you can flash custom ROM on Lenovo a6000.
Im also using Lenovo a6000 and I'm running custom ROM.... feel free to Reply if u need any help..I'm glad to see that you will.?
Soon I will get my hands on a SM-T530 (Lollipop), I've been looking around and I have decided that I want to try a custom rom. I'm not totally new to this, but my knowledge is limited. I have installed KatKiss on a TF300T a few years back.
My intent is to take this slow, make good choices based on advice and most importantly don't brick the device.
For recovery:
Should I use this TWRP? https://eu.dl.twrp.me/matisse/
Or this? https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/recovery-twrp-recovery-matisse-millet-t4019831
Other that is better?
Do I need root?
From the Lineage thread: Magisk doesn't work, you can use this ROM just unrooted. Later in the thread this is mentioned: Yes, magisk is working with this rom. - magisk needs to be flashed separately in recovery once device is set up .
If yes, is this something to look into? https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-t3293163
For custom rom:
Is this the best one to get? (LightningFastRom-17.1 (Q/10) https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/lightningfastrom-17-1-q-10-t4057209
Is this a possible solution?
Flash recommended TWRP with Odin
Backup with TWRP?
Boot to recovery and flash suitable custom rom
Reboot to recovery and flash gapps (do I need to flash SuperSU?)
And finally reboot into the new rom
Thank you any help. I realize there already are many threads and I hope my thread shows that I've been reading around a bit. I did it like this the last time, starting a thread, it made the whole process easier for me.
