If you have it rooted with TWRP or CWM recovery on HBoot 1.4 or below:
1. Go into the Bootloader by holding down the Power Button + Volume Down Keys simultaneously
2. Go to your recovery and wipe your Cache, Dalvlich cache, Data, and System (feel free to explore your recovery if you can't find the wipe for System, I mean you already f'k up if your on TWRP its under wipe on 2.0 or advanced under the regular I believe)
3. Download a ROM on your computer
4. In the recovery, mount your SDCard to your computer / Mount Storage / Mount USB Storage
5. Put the ROM on the SD Card
6. Flash and clear Data and Caches
7. Reboot System / Reboot phone

No problem!
Once in awhile you should clear out your caches because they can get packed up and cause things to get "buggy".
Next time, download the ROM on your computer and use the Recovery to transfer it on to your device.
Downloading ROMs on your phone can make them corrupt.
Oh and if you like having a smooth experience and don't install very many apps, Wipe all of those partitions again whenever you flash a new ROM.
P.S. Always clear Caches when updating or flashing new ROMs!

Place the zip on the sd card and boot into recovery. Go into mounts and storage Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache at least twice each. Then flash the zip of the rom and don't flash ANYTHING else (no mods themes nothing) until you boot it at least once. boot into hboot (battery pull, hold volume down and power at the same time until you see a white screen) and install the ph98img and reboot. You should be good to go.
Btw don't use cwm use Amon Ra

Never mind. Go into fastboot mode and extract the boot.img from the ROM and flash that in fastboot

I came from the dinc back in March and initially it was confusing but once you go s-off then there aren't many differences. I do reiterate the recommendation above to us ramon recovery instead of cwm. Keep in mind. As long as you are s-on, you have to flash the rom and then flash the kernel separately in bootloader. Also, it sounds like you are on GB firmware. So...whenever you flash an ICS rom, you must flash the SD card patch too! Even if you are s-off. have fun!
Advice that I've learned, always make backup and always backup sd card on pc. Oh and always do a full wipe before installing a ROM.

For flashing without needing a PC flash image gui is the bees knees, used it on my 3D faithfully since don't own a PC, all you need to do is extract the boot.img (most roms and kernels have them posted since this is now a common issue) flash it through the GUI.apk, go to recovery, wipe, flash & proceed

can you give a quick explanation how you flash the kernel separately and how you go about wiping the partition before installing cm10
Extract the boot image from the rom zip, drop in in your adb folder and restart phone in boot loader. Open the terminal and navigate to the folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img, then open twrp recovery. Go to wipe and wipe Dalvik, Cache, Factory reset, and wipe system. Install cm10 and again clear dalvik and cache then reboot

Boot partition is locked in recovery which is why you have to fastboot kernel, besides that you aren't wiping the boot, you are wiping system

what is the android development section and where do i locate it
Okay I know this is a noob question so PLEASE excuse my noob-ism. Not sure if this should be in Q&A or Dev so please move to the correct section if I posted in the wrong one.
Okay, so my phone was originally 4.0.4 with a 1.19 HBOOT and 4.1 Sense. I rooted my phone, read up on a couple of threads and youtube videos regarding how to flash CM10 and from what I got if you have 1.19 HBOOT you can't just flash it using TWRP because you can't go S-OFF. Here is where I was a bit confused and think I went wrong. I read in the description of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsQKOhqdPpM that if you aren't S-OFF that there is a workaround, which linked me to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29417266&postcount=1397 . So the 1st option said that it's possible to flash using Flash Image GUI to flash CM10 THEN to flash it in recovery, which I did. However now that I look closely at the pics it says only for EVO4G and the 3D. Here's where I'm at, Flashed using Flash Image GUI, then rebooted to HBOOT, then recovery, then flashed using TWRP. It looked like a success after rebooting because I seen the CyanogenMod boot screen but it's been about 25 minutes and it's just stuck there. Read up on it some more and it said that it should only take about 5-7 minutes for the first boot. I don't know what to do from here. Is there any way to still boot CM10 on my device since it seems essentially stuck at the "CM" boot screen? If not, what ROM would take me back to where I initially started off previous to trying to flash CM10 (like sense essentially)?
Once again, sorry for the noob-ism but kinda stuck here. Thanks!
I would try going into recovery and wipe Dalvik, Cache and then factory reset, do not wipe system just the 2 I mentioned and reboot, if it stays on boot anim, go to bootloader and fastboot kernel and reboot
If you have SDK or adb tools then open terminal and navigate to the folder, open cm10 zip and extract the boot image and place it in that directory, with you phone in fastboot, type fastboot devices to ensure you are connected and type fastboot flash boot boot.img it will state write time and ok, then try reboot again
hold down the power button until the phone shuts off, when it does, hold power and volume down to get to boot loader, press volume down to recovery and then press power, in recovery wip all and restore nandroid back up,,,hope you made a back up hope this helps
It's probably something corrupt in dalvik or cache, could also be a kernel mismatch but I think it's more likely phone was not properly wiped prior to flashing cmx

no problem just keep in mind that when switching roms, especially different bases (ics sense, aosp ics, aosp jb) wipe the dalvik and cache because they can easily be corrupted

Hmm...well this time I just went to recovery. Made a backup and erased, cache, dalvik, system. Did a factory reset as well (didn't do that before) and in the end did as you guys suggested. Flashed rom and then boot.img via fastboot. Thank you very much!!! :victory:
Haven't been as active lately because I've been very sick but factory reset would have been my first suggestion. If you are starting a fresh install you should always wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and then wipe system. I used to refer wipe scripts but for this phone there has been an unusually high number of users who's partitions (mostly internal sd) end up corrupt after using a wipe script. I don't know why, they are generally reliable and in most cases are better as they can wipe areas of the partitions that you miss wiping normally. If you are familiar with reformatting and you can back up internal regularly then you should try a wipe script. It's just a bit more convenient when it does work then manually wiping each partition.
Nothing works!

Okay so I did all of this and still..... doesn't work. I'm not really a phone wiz. I paid someone to root my phone before and I used the CM10 ROM, everything was fine until I tried to change my font, the phone rebooted and got stuck on the CM 10 boot screen. I went to recovery and restored my phone from September. I then went to Flash Image GUI and flashed the boot.img for CM!0. Then went into recovery and flashed CM!0 and gaaps and wiped the cache, delv cache, system and factory reset. When I rebooted I was still stuck on the boot screen. :/ I am able to restore back to September but my camera or wifi doesn't work. Anyone know how to help me?
Try flashing meanrom, it has the kernel installer and doesn't require flash image or fastboot. If you still have any issues with the camera then relock the bootloader and flash ruu. If that doesn't fix the camera then its most likely hardware failure.

Bootloop Battery Issue
I recently flashed paranoid android to my verizon GS3 but after trying to boot I got stuck in a bootloop. It ran all last night but didnt accept a charge, and now won't turn on at all. When the battery is taken out and put back and then plugged back in it comes up with the battery charging symbol briefly but then immediately shuts off again. It wont turn on in download/recovery mode either. What should I do?

Ok I found it and Im downloading it now. How will this help me?
I will be getting a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 tomorrow and I am interested in installing the PACMAN ROM
However, the instructions are not clear for me since I am new to all this. I've downloaded the roms, gapps and kernal and now the instructions say to:
'Put the files on your device
Reboot into recovery
Wipe dalvik cache
Install the zips (or do adb sideload if you want)
Reboot'
Since I have no experience with android devices, I am not sure how to do these steps. I've tried searching on Youtube but there aren't any tutorials for SGP's. I am aware that I need to do a full wipe since I am going from GB to JB (so I need to delete data, dalvik, system and dbdata). It also says to do a backup if anything goes wrong, which I am not too sure how to do as well.
If someone could explain these instructions clearly to me, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

put your device in download mode (hold down power and volume down) and flash entropy's kernel with odin.
then you will have clockworkmod recovery, which you can boot into by holding power and volume up.
in clockworkmod, you can make a backup, wipe data, and install the rest of the stuff.
you could even do all of this without ever booting up the stock rom.
This is what I do/did...
I used this tutorial to flash CWM and root
http://m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
Download SuperOneClick and
Download Odin. Follow tutorial.
Odin can be used to flash ROMs or kernels and to flash CWM.
Download the Pacman ROM and a kernel and put it on your External SD card.
Use ROM Manager from the play store to reboot into Recovery mode (easiest way) or volume up and power button at the same time as the Samsung flashes after you first boot your device.
From recovery mode you can wipe dalvik cache etc, but if this is a new device, you shouldn't have to factory reset or wipe cache (I think) If you're buying a used device, wipe and reset.
You're in recovery mode still, navigate to-
"Load zip from external SD card" and select it. Navigate to the Pacman zip and select it.
You navigate using the volume up and down buttons and select using the power button.
Navigate back to main screen in recovery mode and select Reboot System.
Do the same thing to flash a kernel. If the kernel has clockwork mod integrated, load the kernel first.
I use Xplore to move files around, it's quick and easy.
The reason ppl tell you to back up any data is, they have data they want to keep. If this is a new device, you don't have anything worth saving, such as contacts apps etc.

http://m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
Download SuperOneClick and
Download Odin. Follow tutorial.
Odin can be used to flash ROMs or kernels and to flash CWM.
Download the Pacman ROM and a kernel and put it on your External SD card.
Use ROM Manager from the play store to reboot into Recovery mode (easiest way) or volume up and power button at the same time as the Samsung flashes after you first boot your device.
From recovery mode you can wipe dalvik cache etc, but if this is a new device, you shouldn't have to factory reset or wipe cache (I think) If you're buying a used device, wipe and reset.
You're in recovery mode still, navigate to-
"Load zip from external SD card" and select it. Navigate to the Pacman zip and select it.
You navigate using the volume up and down buttons and select using the power button.
Navigate back to main screen in recovery mode and select Reboot System.
Do the same thing to flash a kernel. If the kernel has clockwork mod integrated, load the kernel first.
I use Xplore to move files around, it's quick and easy.
The reason ppl tell you to back up any data is, they have data they want to keep. If this is a new device, you don't have anything worth saving, such as contacts apps etc.

Thanks, I guess I don't need to waste my time backing up data. And thanks for the link, it'll help me root my device as well

After I flashed the kernel, it said 'PASS' on the Odin screen but now my device keeps rebooting, and it won't stop! D:
I can enter CWM Recovery, and I tried wiping data/factory reset and I've wiped cached partition but it still keeps rebooting.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know! I've googled this problem for 3 hours but haven't found a solution
what exactly did you do in cwm?
did you install pac rom?
if not, try installing (using install zip from sdcard) it directly over gb, after doing a full wipe.
also install gapps the same way

I followed instructions on this website;
m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
(I can't post links, but its the website that HOG1 posted above)
I got up to step 7, but my device kept rebooting after that. So I went in CWM recovery by holding POWER and UP buttons and wiped my data and cache but it still kept rebooting.
And I can't flash any roms since I still haven't rooted the device. I couldn't use entropy's kernel because I have an INTL Galaxy Player.

Would that work, even though I haven't rooted my device yet? Since I haven't done the steps under 'Rooting the Galaxy Player 5.0' on the link HG1 sent.
oh you have an intl device. in that case, you'll have to install cm9 first, power down, boot up into recovery and install pac rom
you dont have to be rooted for this

Okay, but in the CM9 thread the first thing it says for installation is 'Make sure your device is ROOTED' and mine is not - so are you sure it will work? I just don't want to brick my device or anything, just got it today xD
to install cm9, boot into recovery, and go to mounts and storage, then select the mount usb storage (connect your usb cable to your computer first)
then copy a cm9 rom zip over (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679957)
you should be fine
if something fails for some reason, try installing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144 via odin (put your device in dl mode).
this is a rooted stock rom

Okay, I've installed CM9 so after I install PACMAN shall I also install the gapps and Sultan kernel as well?

yup, dont forget to wipe data, cache, dalvik, (look under mounts and storage) system, and dbdata (or datadata)
All this INTL and US device stuff just throws wrenches into everything. The link I posted says it's for INTL and US devices. Apparently not the case.
I have intl kernel on my US device and it works fine, not sure why the reverse isn't true. Weird.
I use the INTL kernel because I like the governors choices.

Yeah it sucks that Samsung made different devices for different regions...Makes no sense..
But yeah, I installed CM9 and when I selected to reboot my phone from the actual ROM it said 'Rebooting...' and now its been like this for 30mins or so... :| I guess I'll have to wait for the battery to drain or something, but as soon as it does I'll wipe data, etc and install PACMAN with the new kernel and gapps. Sucks that you can't take the battery out the phone, I don't think the phone is actually gonna reboot.
EDIT: NEVERMIND, I JUST SAW ONLINE THAT YOU CAN SWITCH IT OFF BY HOLDING DOWN THE POWER BUTTON AND HOME BUTTON...Yeah I'm totally new to Android and Samsung xD
Or you could hold the power and volume up buttons to go into Recovery mode and reboot from there.

I finally got it working yesterday evening, and I'm loving the new ROM! Thanks a lot for your time and effort guys, I really appreciate it
[Noob question]
I have a 2 year old Samsung GT-S5282 i just rooted a month ago, by installing CWM 6.0.3.7 and flashing SuperSU 2.07 in it.
I've installed a few root apps that "boosts" the phone's performance.
But a month later i tried rebooting the phone, it passes the boot logo, then it comes across a dialog saying "process system is not responding, do you want to close it?"
I pressed "wait", but then the system crashes and the screen turns off. I tried consecutive battery pulls, wiping cache partition, but no luck, it still crashes on the dialogue screen.
I reckon it's on the kernel, but i'm STILL not sure what is going on.
Can anybody suggest a fix? I really need this phone and i don't want to lose any data.
(I've backed up my personal files, i meant i don't want to lose any internal data that cannot be backed up)
Please.

I guess you are able to reach recovery mode. If yes, then u should connect it with computer. Try installing a custom rom (i would suggest CM11).
Step 1: Installing TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-star/orig-development/recovery-teamwin-recovery-project-3-0-2-t3435364

Um thank you so much for the suggestion.
But unfortunately when i try to boot to recovery, the stock recovery opens up, not the CWM i flashed.
I tried to flash a fix for it, but it also didn't work.
But i guess flashing a new ROM will be the last option i have, so....do flashing one delete all my data? And if so, can i restore all internal data if ever i'll back it up? Thank you SO much for replying.

Well, then try three button combo (volume-down + home + power) to boot into bootloader and flash TWRP with odin.
No, your files in internal and external storage are not deleted when you format dalvik,cache,system and data partitions.
Edit: volume-down + home + power (boot to bootloader)
volume-up + home + power (boot to recovery)

Okay thanks.
By the way what version of TWRP would work great? (I have XXANF4 stock kernel btw, i still can't access the main screen of the phone after booting up)
And if i wipe system and data partitions will it delete the settings i have on the phone (ex. WiFi connection history, Bluetooth transfer history etc.)?
Thanks again.

TWRP:- Refer the link i posted earlier.
Yes, all the settings and apps would be deleted.

Dang it.
Wanted to keep it.
But thanks anyway.
I still can't access the phone. It just boots up, shows the lockscreen, then crashes and automatically reboots, then gets stuck in a bootloop.
I wanted to install a custom rom like you said but i cannot copy the rom files to the sdcard (the phone's still inaccessible).
Any more suggestions? Thanks.

Also, when i try to flash the TWRP 3.0.2 you sent, Odin gives me an error that the md5 is invalid.
I still don't know what the hell is going on.

Also, the reboot problem existed since i installed root apps, the system crash existed since i installed a custom launcher. (Nova to be exact). I don't know if that has connection to problem.
Can anybody help?
I can't just format this phone i have internal data and settings that i cannot delete.

Do a factory reset
Go to advance and format system and data
Then flash Stock Deodex Prerooted rom by akshay
Done
It won't delete anything
Flash cwm for star via odin
Then flash twrp via cwm
Remove ur SD card and using a card reader copy ROM file into SD card.
Mount ur SD card
Then flash the rom

I mean, it deletes all the settings right? Like WiFi hotspots and bluetooth transfer history and every app i have on my phone. I just can't wrap my head around the idea that i will delete all of that just because my phone crashes on passing through the boot screen. . .

U couldn't mention what tweaks did u installed to boost the phone and what exactly happened.
So,all I can say is 'do a factory reset'..
Just flash official firmware. The problem was automatically fixed without wiping data.

So i can just normally flash the stock firmware through Odin and Download mode and not wipe data? Is that correct?
