Hi everyone,
I have read most posts regards flashing new os to my phone but i was wondering if there is a walk threw or video on how to do it?
I came from iphone and so far i have managed to root my phone and i belive the clockwork thing i need to flash the op is on.
Any guides or suggestions would be great. Im fine with using a pc but trying to learn all this new android stuff is confusing me.
Also can anyone reccomend a good rom for my UK galaxy S?

First post your firmware details; Goto Settings - About phone, and post everything you see
If you're talking about the Galaxy S, you're in the wrong forum, mate. Irrespective, there isnt any 'good' or 'bad' ROM, try some of the more popular ones from the Android development section.
As for video walkthroughs, there are a fair few videos on youtube. I'd post links but I'm not sure if thats against the forum rules. PM me if you want em. Although, the guides provided here on xda itself are good enough. You've got root and CWM, thats probably the biggest hurdle overcome right there
Read up about
Cwm
Odin
4.0.4 brickbug
then rooting and flashing kernels/roms
Ill post my details when i get
Because i have come from a iphone im struggling with it,i did look on youtube and could only find videos from the states at&t and sprit and didnt know if it would be the same for me

Is there anybody out there that can make me an ODIN tar of the Novena J2 rom? It's the only way I can flash the rom on my phone, and I am unable to do it... yet. I will gladly donate!
Sir, there is no need to create multiply threads on the same subject/issue, your issue/question has been noted, I have closed your other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019772, but if you notice there was a post on this issue in your old thread.
Bottom-line I understand your seeking for resolution, so let's contain your issue in this thread, and Good Luck.
It wasn't done intentionally, I put it in the wrong category then switched it to q&A. Couldnt delete the other, thanks

Well after a week of asking probably 400 people how to wipe my phone in any other way than recovery, finally someone could help me and it was easy as using kies!

Ok, so good efforts by 400 people. Its always something easy.
Now we all know if our phone is stolen, a lock screen is no security.
The ultimate lesson ...?
Don't buy a phone you can't use first ...g
I thought of a few "moral of the story. . ." ideas too but surprisingly I held back.
Lulz @ "Buy"
Actually it is pretty secure i had to completely wipe everything to get in

Hello forums,
First post, and wow you guys sure hate unnecessary post. Anyhow here is my problem;
I'm currently using this ROM which praises itself of being a 'heavily moded CM10.1'. I really do love this ROM but I'm having problem with the various transparant toolbar mods. Most of these give me a startup loop or make my SystemUI crash, which isn't really weird since they are written for other binaries.
While I would prefer to ask this question in the developer's thread, I can't. So I'm asking you guys if someone had any experiences with this?
I tried building my own mod from this thread, but that isn't working out.
Hope someone can help me.
Model: GT-19100
Android: 4.2.2

Well, after a good night of pulling my hair out of my scull I actually made the custom thing work.
If you have the same ROM, and want this this shoot me a PM. Now I'm going to try to close this.

I think that you can find your firmware on sammobile and flash it on Odin . but i dont think that flashing another modem will unlock your device , that can even cause damage to your device . Dont try to flash zip from another model in any situation

You don't need to downgrade your rom. You can flas a modem even if you don't have root. If you have a custom recovery than just flash the modem.

Better off to say Touchwiz sucks as opposed to 4.1.2 sucks. There are 2 developers that still work 4.1.2 and your going to come off real ungrateful for their efforts. There is not a thing wrong with their ROMs. You just have to know how to fine tune them to your needs. Don't bash them if you can't do it. Just don't run them.
Its not the ROM that bricked your phone

what are you talking about.. at which point in my post did i say anything about the developers and what they do? you should really stop posting things unless your going to help. it seems in every thread i make or post a reply your right there with something to say that doesn't help and your in most of the thread I have read with no help other than to say read and look at the super everything thread. Those arent answers when people are asking questions. If anyone takes the time and reads everything than they wont have to ask questions but that isnt going to happen and thats why forums are created, to help and support and I know i've said this before to you on one of my posts. He asked about downgrading and i said that 4.1.2 sucks. Did i say that the developers or the after market roms suck? No I didn't. I've used several different roms and all the after market roms run much smoother that stock.

i saw a post on free unlock this note posted by Crixley in the General room, he said that it has to be on ics then flash the tmobile modem for it to work that's why i want to downgrade, maybe i gota ask him, thanks tho :victory:

Dude, you need to seriously take chill pill. I was quoting you, 4.1.2. Sucks.
I have done nothing but try and help you, including coaching you on your ediquite here. With your clueless way of being vague, you are bad mouthing developers. We are trying to keep them here.
I wasn't the one who recently posted about running a Note 2 ROM on our device. No wonder you bricked yours.
Look at my post count, look at yours.
Look at my thanks count, look at yours.
You are everywhere posting about same issues, multiple times and in multiple threads. Issues that only you seem to have.
I have even PM'd you and tried to help, but you only read what you want to read and question more experienced members who have solid practices. Don't want my help fine, don't post without researching your personel issues. You won't believe anybody anyway.
Good luck..........geeeeezzzzz.
Yes I edited this, as I went on a tangent regarding this, but common decency got the better of me. I hope the other one was read though.

Ok. Don`t know about unlocking stuff. Here is a thread where you can find some stock Roms. The first one is 4.0.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647756
Just flash the J2 modem and follow the steps.
I had to replace my main board, so I took the ota update, then rooted, then realized I didn't unlock. So I flashed the J2 modem, unlocked, and kept that modem. It didn't do any better than the new modem that came with the update.
This thread turned pretty nasty for such a basic question.
Yeah it did. I flipped my ignore button to the on position and I'm goooood

Including all of those superfluous exclamation marks emphatically does not increase my desire to help you. Quite the opposite.
You can't have searched very long or hard or you would have found literally hundreds of threads answering this question. Guess you missed all of those, the sticky posts and everything else. Nor did you tell us what S5 model or carrier you use, a rather crucial piece of information if you hoped for a link to a specific download.
The poster above gave you a link to a stock firmware thread. And interesting nick, that.
