Hi Team,
First of all i would like to thank each of you'll for sharing your knowledge & helping all individuals who get stuck.
I am a new member in this forum as well as new to rooting. I have read few rooting threads & am excited too to get additional space in my phone.
I am using the phone for more than a year & now my apps list is growing. But the sad part is i have to do away with one app to install the new one as the phone is always out of space.
HTC Wildfire S
Location : India
Android Ver : 2.3.5
HTC Sense Ver : 2.1
Software Number : 2.26.720.3
I request if anyone can help me in getting the below questions answered or can guide me to respective link where i can get answers:
1.How to backup the phone.
2.In case if i need to unroot & get back to the same stock rom, how do i do this.
3.Which is the best stable rom that runs all the applications.
4.My daily use includes: Camera, Camcoder, Internet, Internet pass through, bluetooth. Any stable rom which do not have issues with these applications.
5.Which one is better, WildChild Ver 3, CynogenMod or other, please help with the version also.
6.I wish to root the phone & install a custom ROM, however there should always be a way to go back & undo, as i cannot afford to get a new phone.:laugh:
Thanks in advance to all who would be helping me in answering all or any of the questions.
Will love to see the xperience from those who have already installed the custom ROM.

Hi,
Welcome to XDA
1. Take backup of your personal data first (Like: Contact, Pics, Videos, docs,etc..)
2. You can get beck to your old STOCK ROM. After rooting your device you will take a complete NANDROID BACKUP, which will restore your previous one. (When needed).
3. I would suggest you to go for the Disciplexone ROM or WildChild 3. Disciplexone ROM was doing good for me, when I had it before CM9.
4. You will get more options than in your list.
You never have to worry about anything, since the device will make wonders after you root. (But more caution required).
Hope this may be useful. (If really press 'Thanks').

Hey welcome here.
1. There are many ways to take backup. I suggest you take a nandroid backup (i.e. backup with cwm recovery) just after you flash a custom recovery. It'll restore the phone in as it is state if something goes wrong.
For apps and all i generally use Titanium Backup. It works great.
2. There is a thread for stock ROMs in Android Development Forum here. You'll find yours there.
3. Umm That is a tuff question. For me CM9 does but it has some minor bugs if they don't affect you.. JB is still in development so I won't recommend it. Go for CM7 or any GB rom as they are mostly free of bugs.
4. Disciple1's ROM, Sense 3.5 EQDKP, Wildchild and CM7.
5. I don't know what to say about it as I installed the first version of WC3 and I came back to CM9 in a day. It was really unstable for me. Maybe just me.
6. Just unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery and then make a nandroid. the bootloader will be unaffected though.
7. Oh there aren't any.
hi guys i'm a newbie for changing my device ROM, want to ask some help and hoping for your kind answers

Hello there!
I purchased the new HTC One M8 and it is just AMAZING!
I came from Galaxy SIII... and the differences are huge and I don't regret my move
Anyways, when flashing something on SIII and rooting the device was VERY simple and user-friendly..
I could change ROMs without any problem and knew every step and step.
But after checking how to install a costum room on the M8 I feel like I don't understand anything.
I need a really detailed guide to how to flash a costum ROM? what do I need for it? how to root the device? what is S-OFF S-ON..?
I really know nothing about how to flash costum ROMs to HTC device ...
And I don't know where to start from and which ROM to choose, so please i'd like to have a very detailed step by step guide for rooting + flashing costum ROMs
Thanks!

Check this guide.It has all that u need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
The information contained in the mammoth AndroidHD 10.2 thread is all you could ever need ... :silly:
It's also the slickest, most stable ROM I have ever used.
Also read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52484527
There are many knowledge about custom roms and root but mostly not understandable. I am on stock rom. Samsung galaxy a505f one ui 3.1 i wanna learn all steps of installing custom rom and rooting. The people who know well are passing some steps and we are not able to understand well. Can someone order the full steps for us?? Please. Unlock oem,twrp,magisk,wipe,cache,recovery,flash,custom rom,root..... most of us do not know what are theses. But we can do with a step by step guide. For example 1:do this 2:do this 3,4,5..... some guides explaining like flash this. I have no idea about what is flashing. But we can follow steps of guide.
