can you get into your rom manger?or will your phone not boot? I read somewhere to clear DL cache in rom manager and select erase recovery before flash, then reflash 3.0.2.4 and I can now wipe data/ and restore my back ups... dont get the error writing system anymore... trying to find the post so I can thank him.... hope this works for you... if not you can just install adryns .9 debloat and it will fix your system files so you can get your phone running

I downloaded my version of choice from the wiki but it is an "img" file.
Because of all the updating I've been doing, my phone only updates from zips now. How do I install the "img" file?
Thanks
Wait...
You downloaded an .img file? That means you downloaded the recovery image for the ROM you chose to use rather than the ROM itself. Stock ROMs use .pkg as an extension. In any event, you need to download the recovery image for the ROM version you choose to use anyway, because you will need to replace your existing recovery image with the one you downloaded in order to be able to flash a stock ROM.
I think I have this figured out. I have to flash the recovery img to my phone using fastboot then use the phone's recovery feature to install the pkg, correct?
Yup, that is correct
Make sure the update.pkg is on the root of your sdcard.
Make sure to backup before proceeding just in case.
I ended up back on simplestreak because nothing else would go back on and be stable, not even the nandroid I made a few days ago would run.
Put on the most basic version with no upgrades and it isn't too bad, although last night in the middle of a game of Angry Birds the screen went black and the phone restarted. Did it twice then started behaving properly again.
Might wanna try doing a factory reset after flashing the rom
If you still have StreakMod Recovery (the custom recovery) can also try wipe delvik cache and wipe cache partition then do your flashing
As usual, do a backup before proceeding!
Wipe all that before flashing? I keep doing it afterwards because that's what I saw for instructions somewhere.

Oops ... mistype that ... your right, should be after.
I just downloaded the İCS REMİX ROM and the next version came out a few hours later... =.= I don't really want to waste a few hours flashing the updated version and customizing the stuff all over again. Are there any ways to just 'update' it instead of flashing it after wipe? I heard something about update.zip but do I need to get that from the developer or can I turn the CWM backup into one of those?
This is the link for the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Thanks!
why do not you ask at that thread if you can update w/o wiping instead of opening a new thread here.
anyway you can make a nandroid, then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash the updated version. if it gets stucked at any point while after flashing. you can get back to CWM and restore your Nandroid you made earlier.
Cheers.
You should be able to flash that update without wipe

That rom is just a CWM backup, so I guess you are saying that I need to use advanced recovery. So which part of the updated rom backup should I choose to recover?
I have been trying to get to the screen where i can install from sd but it will not let me get to that point. I boot into recovery mode but the options it gives me is
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd-card
the letters are blue..................
can some help me out????? i want to install a different rom but i can't get to the install rom from sd option
Thanks
Download cwm rom manager from the manager, and install the recovery.
After that you can install the rom you desire!
i tried that and still same result. I have install other roms before but now it wont let me get to the install from sd screen
You should probably learn how to flash back to stock first (instructions are in many of the Guides). If you are flashing roms, eventually something will go wrong, and you will need to reflash to stock, or at least install a new kernel and recovery. Using Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel is part of the instructions for installing CM. Better to have Odin and the JFD file on hand when your phone bricks or boot-loops.

You can download CWR from my signature and put it on your internal SD. Put the update.zip on the internal and make sure it is only thing labeled .zip on there. Hit Reinstall Packages, let it cycle then hit it again. Recovery will go from blue to green and then you can install ROM from SD.
+1 on the reading and how to install ROMs. Plus while you are in CWR, go to Backup/Restore and do a nandriod backup.
Good luck.
i have all that and have gone back to stock and everything. still same results

What these guys have told you has worked time and time again for most everyone else. What I would recommend is that you get the AIO toolbox. Everything you need in a one-stop-shop.
I have a rooted s-on Evo 3D and Im trying to put my moms number on it since I got a new phone, but I keep getting an error I'm running a custom rom and I'm pretty sure you need to be on the stock rom so you could actually change numbers, I need to go back to to the stock rom, I have it backed up but I'm on a different kernel and since I can't just restore it I need to flash the kernel first of my back up, ive been using flash image GUI for flashing my roms but I don't know how to restore the back up I have of the stock rom, if I just restore it won't flash the kernel. Someone please help me. I can can fastboot I think, restore The backup. Does anyone have the link for the intructions? I can't find the thread that they made. Thanks.
What rom are you on? when you flashed it did you clear dalvik cache first?
Also you can try and go into custom recovery and clear you dalvik cache and see if that works!
Sometime (in my experience anyways) I have had to re-flash the rom because it was messing up after instal ie. FC on all apps but a fresh install worked like a charm.
When I was using stock RealmeUI (android 10) just looking some ROMs for RMX1851. And I've see Corvus ROM, just wanted to install my phone. I enter the TWRP and took a nandroid backup except data section and just deleted cache, internal storage, dalvik cache, cache and... vendor. Then I swipe to install and boom! ERROR 7. And I just wanted to back to stock ROM via TWRP nandroid backup. What happened? of course it didn't work. Nothing see wrong while restoring backup but the device doesn't boot up. I can still enter TWRP and flash somethings. And last thing is the build.prop file is not in their place.(/system/build.prop) Please help me.
Can someone take and share realmeUI nandroid backup please? This method might work.
Just flash realme ui ota file
Don't you think I didn't try that? It doesn't work.
