[ Video Tutorials ] Common cure to the : What do I do now?
« on: March 22, 2017, 01:36:55 am »
I just got my GPD and I want to update the stock firmware.
I just got my GPD and I want to update to LegacyRom.
I just bricked my GPD, halp halp halp!

- GPD XD - Upgrading Firmware Tutorial (also Unbrick Method)

I want root, but I don't have LegacyRom installed.
- Root Your GPD XD (no pc connection needed)

I got my GPD XD exactly how I want it, what now?
- GPD XD - Installing CWM
- GPD XD - Using CWM to Backup and Restore

I am rooted but I want to install my own boot animation.
- [ Mobile Device ] Installing a Custom Boot Animation ( Method 1 ) (Using File Explorer)
- [ Mobile Device ] Installing a Custom Boot Animation ( Method 2 ) (Using CWM Recovery)
****( If you are bricked or bootlooped because of a bad boot animation, method 2 should help you get out of it by flashing a good boot ) ****
****( If you do not have one, I have made a simple, small, flashable boot that should work for 99% of phones/devices [ Click ] ) ****

I want to make a boot animation from my favorite GIF.
- Create a Mobile Boot Animation using a GIF and Photoshop


These are videos I am making to try and break down the steps to the very basic instruction. No ranting, no intros, no reviews. There are plenty of good videos out there with all of that already and I don't wish to take viewers from them. No, my intention is to focus on ppl like me. Visual and easy to follow. So if you have questions or maybe requests, as long as I am able to do it myself ( no heavy coding or junk ) I can make a video for it. I really hope these videos help the GPD XD community and I hope to also get the word out. Let's get more people buying the GPD and maybe we can get more new devices developed from GPD.



Steps recommended for all new GPD XD user's: (by me)
** Before you get started with installing emus and roms:
- Update firmware or install LegacyRom: [ Click ]
  ( If you chose NOT to install LegacyRom ) Install root ( it's very useful ): [ Click ]

- Install CWM Recovery: [ Click ]
  ( Flashing a ROM will uninstall CWM Recovery with stock - So this step must be after flashing rom )

- Now install your emus and roms. Get everything configured as best as you can. Get your GPD XD exactly as you want it.

- Backup using CWM Recovery: [ Click ]
  ( This way if you ever have problems with your gpd you can always return it to this state at will )

- Enjoy
