I think it's flashing the vendor.img file in leak rom (easy findable, I can't post links because I'm <10 posts), so: grab the original leak rom, flash it with fastboot and then flash the atrics rom with cwm.

Correct me if I'm wrong, thank you.

Hi,
I was looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957539 and in the instructions it says, before "flash rom" to "flash vendor".
What does it mean? I've never seen this in other rom's threads.

There are also flashable zip through cwm.
Administrators, can you close this thread? The OP did not properly do his homework on the entire history of the A4G and created a spam thread just to get his 10 posts.

FYI to OP, Vendor/webtop/osh are all the same thing as far as partitions go since the initial release of this device 3 yrs ago.

Are you ok?
Stop offending me, stop accusing me to "spam". I have so many intentions to spam that I created this account 2 years ago... so why spamming now? For accessing forum sections dedicated to developers only and piss off other people with my noob questions?
I'm answering myself because I'll leave some guides for people who eventually will have the same doubts, and it's not clear for a amateur user to understand this gap, and I changed roms a dozen times. I'm idiot? Maybe, not your business.

So, next time try be kind, I'll appreciate.

Btw: the rom in my MB860 gives some trouble (stuttering\tearing and processes shutdowns) that MIUI and epinter's CM10 don't give. In fact that was written also in the OP post of AtrICS thread, it's possible it happens.
