Instructions for custom ROM installation, please - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

I used to be a flashaholic on my last two phones, but now that I'm finally wanting to try a custom ROM on my PH-1, I'm realizing I've forgotten the procedure.
Can someone please direct me to clear instructions for going from stock Pie to a custom ROM?
My phone's bootloader is unlocked.
I poked around on the Essential forum sections but didn't see instructions. Last time I flashed a ROM, it seemed links to instructions were usually included in the thread announcing each ROM. That's apparently not always the case now.
Thanks.

[Q] No roms will work...

So. I have been using many roms including Thor's, Flexreaper, Honeylicious, etc. I have been trying many reflashes and its been to no avail. I know how to wipe (hehe) and I have a lot of practice with doing this stuff on my fascinate. So, if anyone has a solution, I would be very appreciative. The roms in question are: Flexreaper, lightspeed, and the newest Jellybean sdk build.
Thank you!
What is not working? You need to provide a little more background on what you've done with the tablet; roms, bootloader, etc.

Follow the direction in this guide to the letter, this will walk you through the Bootloader. I had major issue with this till I pulled my head out of my 4th point of contact and got it straight.

Then you can run through this guide to get the ROM loaded. Depending on what method you choose from above you may not need to follow all of this link.

Personally I think the Blackthund3r Method is the easiest...

Need a complete guide.

Hey guys i have come from the Galaxy ace forums and my friend wants to upgrade his SGS which i agreed to do
He's on stock right now and wants to experience CM and root
I searched a lot and did not get a full proof guide for complete upgrading from stock
can anyone please guide me
And after searching the development section i concluded to flash Slim beans...it looks promising and stable
Please help me how to upgrade to slim beans from stock
thank you
Dont be lazy & read the forums. There where many before u. Even I did it once (to be exact just two weeks ago) just by searching & reading on xda & google. The thing is if u come across problems before/during/after process most times it happened to someone already & solutions are already there. So no excuses, search harder. I found alot that helped me flashing from stock for the first time (I didnt even know what rooting, kernel, odin etc. was couple of weeks ago). Its a little effort on your side. It seems you know more than when I was starting coming from the ace forums so imo The last option should be starting a new thread, especially for this specific question. Nevertheless here is a start

I'm quite accustomed with all the words and everything
I myself flash at least 2 roms per week on my SGA
But for SGS I don't know how to go about
And I searched but there is no full proof guide which includes everything hence the starting of this thread
Baseband version of his phone is

Hello!
Why did you not look at the guides section of this forum before asking - that's BASIC forum etiquette!
Please do that, there's a pinned (!) guide for unlocking the bootloader and installing twrp, so you don't even have to search.
So next time please do search and not just claim to do so (searching requires actual looking) and don't start another useless thread.
Regards
PS if you're absolutely clueless, ask in the noob friendly thread (again, pinned).

I already looked to that guides, infact I used them to install twrp and root when I was on nougat or oreo, because they are guides that were created in nougat or oreo times or, best, they clearly state for what version they're right. But reguarding android pie I have not found anything by "date" or by "clear reference to pie"... Have I been clear?

Nothing has changed, it still works, as I myself can confirm (just did it last week, when camera started freezing on me, going back from an Android 10 ROM - flashed stock Oreo via lgup, upgraded, installed twrp via fastboot, rooted, np).
But to reiterate... Why exactly didn't you ask in the corresponding thread? Sorry, but I'm a stickler for uncluttered forums.

Flash Custom Roms on T-Mobile 6T?

Hey everyone!
I don't want to seem dumb, but I was wondering if it's possible to flash a custom ROM onto a T-Mobile variant of the OnePlus 6T? I am not exactly clear on if this is possible or not. I imagine that you likely need an unlocked bootloader and to be on the international OOS before flashing anything else, but I can't find anything about this easily on our forums. Whatever the specific steps / prerequisites are in order to flash a new custom ROM on the T-Mobile 6T, please let me know below. I'd very much appreciate it!
Hi,
I recently just did mine and followed the two guides below, make sure you are following them in detail.
Do this one first: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307
Second do this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/guide-sim-unlock-t-mobile-version-type-t3915269
Then I recommend going ahead and downloading OTA 10.3.4 since you will need it prior to any custom ROM.
Link here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/oneplus-6t-global-repo-oxygen-os-builds-t3865396
If you need any help please let me know and I'll assist as best as I can. I recommend checking out CrDroid or Paranoid Android Quartz.

Changing the ROM where to start?

My guarantee on my phone has run out. I have a Galaxy S10+ exynos with one ui 4.1. Where can I start to change the rom and root my phone? Can you recommend me an up to date and safe guide?
Google could have done all of this for you.

Do you know how many results you will get if you ask google? Not all of them will be valid or up-to-date and it's hard to pick one.
I really don't understand what you're saying. I rooted my first phone thanks to articles on google. They usually don't even have to be up to date. Plus your phone is relavitely new compared to what I had.
Anyways, first look for a guide to unlock your bootloader, that's the first step.
Next, learn how to flash twrp onto your device.
Lastly learn how to flash custom roms onto your device via twrp. Custom roms can be found in your device's dev forum here on xda.
You'll need a pc, the right drivers, minimal adb and fastboot (or odin), and the required files (twrp, custom rom, gapps)
Also, you've posted this into the wrong subforum. This subforum is for rom development, it's where devs post roms. If you want to ask a question or need help then ask in the Q/A subforum.
