Hi all,
I'm having some weird issues.
Let me preface this with saying I'm a big noob with this kind of thing but I really want to learn. I'm trying to do two specific things with this phone: use wifi tethering and free up internal memory. I understand that loading a custom rom will do this but I have no idea how.
I followed the Stumproot process and that was easy. After that all hell broke loose. I've tried to read a bunch of topics about this but I still have no idea what a custom recovery is or what cwm or twrp are. I don't see any one single place that actually teaches people like me about all of this at the same time. All I can find is bits and pieces of different topics.
Anyway my immediate problem is I keep hard resetting or factor resetting my phone every time I exit recovery mode. Also the only way I can even get into recovery mode is through an app called quick boot. When I try holding down the Volume - and power buttons.....I see the prompt to release the buttons but when I release nothing happens. The phone just boots up normally. At this point I'm at my wits end and I've already lost anything important on the phone. So I don't care if I have to wipe the entire thing out all the way back to stock/unrooted and start over.
I'm basically begging you to guide me step by step through the process of installing a custom rom that will allow me to wifi tether in my house and get rid of all of the useless junk on this phone just to free up space. I don't use hardly an apps but I'm tired of getting errors due to insufficient space anytime something wants to update.
Can you please help me learn how this process works?
