I have tried flashing turl's and Jokersax's CM9 builds and both get stuck at the Dual Core logo. The install of the .zips finish within a few seconds (which I know is not normal when trying to install 100MB+ files). I verified the md5 sums on both before installing and followed all instructions of formatting partitions and then doing a wipe. Any ideas?
are you sure that was rom or you flashed gapps?
Fixes
Here are some suggestions:
* are essential!
Wipe cache!
* Wipe dalvik cache! *
Wipe system!
Wipe data (if all else fails, personally, I wouldn't wipe my data straight away, I would leave it as a last resort)
* Flash Jokersax's build, whichever you like in CWM (and check MD5 sum with the website) *
Flash kernel from Jokersax.
* Flash Gapps (essential if you want Google Play!) *
If that fails, try the fastboot method.
Gd luck getting it to work
Also, always make sure you're on romracers latest recovery!
Thanks guys. I checked the MD5's and they were correct. I was always using romracer's recovery. I finally got it to work by just doing a factory reset and wiping the cache partition (the exact instructions on turl's thread). I'm glad it us working but I wonder what caused the problem.

I've recently flash Aura ROM, and it was successful. Now I want to try the Neutrino build. Do I have to flash back to my Stock Gingerbread 4.5.91.img and then flash Neutrino?
Or do I simply go ahead and flash Neutrino with these steps.
-boot to recovery
-wipe dalvik&wipe cache
-factor reset/data
-flash ROM in recovery
-wipe dalvik&wipe cache again
-reboot
Sadly I did not do a backup on CWM(Using Rom Racer's).
You don't uninstall a rom. You wipe and flash another.
Each rom's thread will give the wiping instructions that work best; I've only stuck with blur roms and have had luck with -- AFTER backing up -- booting into fastboot and issuing "fastboot -w", then reboot to recovery, wipe data, cache, & dalvik, and then flashing the rom.
Others recommend first wiping everything separately using fastboot (and someone will likely chime in here). If you want Neutrino, head over there and see what wipe procedures users have found the most success with.

After all this time! I've always thought you'd have to go back to your stock ROM. Thanks a bunch sheeparecurious! Neurtion seems to want you to wipe everything.
Do I need to wipe dalvik and cache everytime I flash a simple mod or add on?
Depends on the rom. Does the OP in the Neutrino thread say anything specific?
I've been able to flash mods without clearing any caches. I've seen two themes "not play nicely" when flashing one after another, and others were fine to go from theme to theme.
"Wiping data may not be necessary with every update, but it's best to flash clean. However, if you regularly flash the updates, you'll most likely need to wipe data at some stage anyway."
It says to wipe when you flash updates. Does he mean updates to Neutrion updates?
Here's thread link. If you'd like to look for yourself. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398819
Thanks in advanced. I'm headed to bed now. Very pleased as to how things went today on my phone.
Yeah, he probably means "updates to neutrino." I'd say if you successfully flashed the rom and any additional mods you wanted, and the phone is working well, make a nandroid backup so you have a good restore point.
Whenever it comes around, try the next update without wiping - either it'll work fine & life is great, or something will be screwy & you'll need to wipe clean and flash from a fresh state anyway (or restore your backup state).

fastboot -w does the same as wiping data and cache in recovery.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the best results, when you want to flash a new ROM you should always perform a full wipe in fastboot per the following to make sure you will avoid any unforeseen complications:
reboot to recovery
wipe Dalvik
reboot to fastboot
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot reboot (to recovery)
flash ROM
reboot
If you are updating an exisiting ROM, then you would normally just reboot to recovery, wipe Dalvik and cache, then flash the update unless the dev has instructed otherwise in the ROM's thread.
You should ALWAYS do a nandroid backup of your current ROM through recovery prior to wiping and flashing anything. Much easier to restore to a previous state than have to set-up completely from scratch again if something goes wrong.
See? Told ya someone would chime in.
and I knew "fastboot -w" did the same data/cache wipe as in CWM, something something placebo effect can never be too sure. Wouldn't feel right if I didn't do it anyway.
Now, I never erased the webtop when I started flashing roms -- I only did the 2.3.6 webtop fruitcake because it was an update compared to my original one. Granted, I stuck with blur roms but it didn't seem to cause any issues. I assume if I were to switch to a CM-based rom, it could cause glitches if I don't erase the webtop partition?
You guys are awesome thanks! I copied down the procedure you recommended CaelanT. This will help me a ton.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Thanks for that CaelanT thats also useful to know, I have only just entered the world of different roms.
I always do a CWM backup and then a factory reset, wipe the dalvik cache and then flash the new ROM and any add-ons or kernels. Don't forget to wipe your battery stats/calibrate your battery. (I turn off my phone, charge it to 100%, wait about 15 minutes to be sure and boot into recovery to wipe the battery stats)

I have a P7500 with Overcome v2.3.1 installed, and I want to install the Stock ICS rom from this topic.
What is the better way to install it? Can I just flash it over my current rom with recovery? Or do I have to flash it with Odin? If possible, post a link with the better procedure.
Thanks!
Just flash it in recovery.
Make sure to wipe completely. Such as cache, dalvick, factory reset.
The typical procedures when installing a new ROM.
Installation Instructions
Download ROM and put on SD Card (Obvious but it must be said)
Boot into CWM Recovery and perform a FULL WIPE!!! (Wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, and then wipe dalvik cache!!!)
IMPORTANT!!! YOU MUST PERFORM THE WIPE PROCESS BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM!!!
Flash ROM
Reboot!!! Done!!!

So, I made a custom PAC ROM zip for my phone with the pac_i9100-nightly-20150128.zip modded for my phone by removing the device check so it will install on my S959G. And reason for me doing this is the same for OmniRom, all SGH-I777 zips for PAC ROM and OmniROM are deleted for some reason so the I9100 is next in line for me.
Here is my process for installing this rom
Wipe user data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache
Installed Mr.Cooks ROM wipe script
Installed pac_i9100-nightly-20150128.zip
Installed Render-KK-03-22-CWM.zip
Installed GAPPS 4.4.4 Pico zip
Wipe user data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache
Reboot into PAC
I thought my steps was enough, and I'm coming from Resurrection Remix 4.4.2 KitKat v5.1.5 By SteveMurphy
Is there a step I missed in the flashing process or an app I have installed causing Random Reboot or Reboots in general.
I also checked the last_kmsg file and it said something about rebooting

Including a link to the file on my MEGA below

You should be wiping /system before installing the ROM, along with the usual cache wipes. You do not have to do those wipes again after installing. No idea what would be causing random reboots, except the usual suspect being a faulty power button. Try your install again, but wipe /system as well and don't use the ROM Wipe Script. There have been (old) reports of that causing some issues.
One other thing could be the kernel, as Render's kernel is really outdated - could be another cause!

I have CWM recovery installed and it only can wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. I could install Omni TWRP to be able to wipe /system. I do have the Shift kernel 1.0 to 5.0 zips as well, i could flash hem but i have no idea if they are compatible with STweaks since I only use it to enable the BLN for the bottom keys. Plus I random rebooted twice today, you want another last_kmsg log from it?
Also logcatting on my Ubuntu 15.04 laptop in terminal with the following command
Code:
adb logcat *:W *:F *:E

CWM wipes /system, it's in a sub menu somewhere but I don't remember because I've not used CWM in a very long time. I know it's there because I used to do it! My suspicion is it's kernel related, but you'll need a KK kernel that's updated with the necessary blobs and I don't think there is a newer one for i777.
Unless someone else pops in with another suggestion, I'm out of ideas. Maybe it's time for you to update to LP?

I tried CyanideL 5.1.1 ROM for I777 and it would random reboot, but on this PAC ROM, I think I fixed it by turning off Dynamic statusbar colors on screen to disabled and has not rebooted yet but I'm still crossing my fingers still.
Also read about Mr.Cooks ROM Wipe script on Omni 5.1, seen it sticks some S2 phones on the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen for awhile, Not good
Hi;
So i recently installed CyanogenMod 13.0 on to my Samsung S4 GT-I9505 using the first download link on:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltexx --> cm-13.0-20160102-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip
That all installed fine, but i wanted to get the Google apps installed aswell, which is where i am having some issues.
I have been trying to install the following package:
http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano
but have also tried to install quite a few others as well, and all have exactly the same issue. Basically after the apps have been installed and i boot the device up, i get various error messages like:
unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped
unfortunately, google play services has stopped
Any help on fixing this would be much appreciated, as nothing seems to download from the play store thats included in Cyanogen, they just say "your download will begin shortly" but never does.
Thanks in advance
I am a total noob, but I had exactly this problem. The issue appears to be that you have to flash gapps *before* rebooting after flashing CM. In my case since I had already flashed CM before I flashed gapps I had to put the gapps file on the phone (I did this by push with adb, you might find an easier way), re-flash CM, wipe cache/dalvik, flash gapps, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot. It worked.
The easiest guide I found was on androiding.how, called "how to install cm13 (cyanogenmod13)." (The forum won't let me post a link, just google it, it should come up).
Hope that helps. I'm on a galaxy s5 and used twrp recovery if that matters.

Thanks for the reply, i gave that a try and it seems to be stuck on a loop now with "installing app # of 22" . it completes the installation and then reboots, after about 5 minutes on the Cyanogen boot screen, it goes back to installing apps again.
Hm, did you do a factory reset in your recovery before re-flashing CM and gapps? If not, that might be necessary.

Yeah, i did. Tried it multiple times now
That's about the limit of my ability right there, hopefully someone with more experience than me can point you in the right direction. Good luck.
Boot to recovery (preferably TWRP)
Wipe cache / dalvik cache / data / system
Flash CM13 and the gapps you were trying first
Reboot
Profit!
Since you keep flashing different gapps on top of the system, this is probably causing some issues. Once you fully wipe and reflash everything, it should work.

Ive tried that multiple times using twrp (i always wipe everything before i flash CM13 and gapps), i still get the exact same issue. The second the phone boots, i get all these "unfortunately ******** has stopped".
Perhaps try installing 12.1 with gapps, get it all updated then upgrade to 13. I did the accidental upgrade to 13 but have had no issues whatsoever.
I am a newbie here with zero past experience in custom roms. So, I want to do it right. Can anyone please write a step by step guide or provide a link to a good pre-existing guide? Thanks in advance!
Edit: I was able to install Pixel Experience without any issues. Here is what I did:
* Unlocked the Bootloader using the Mi Unlock tool
* Flash TWRP Recovery using ADB and Fastboot
* Boot into TWRP
* Wipe data and all other partitions
* Install the zip file for the custom ROM
Always do a factory data reset in your recovery after flashing the ROM if you are coming from a different version of ROM.i.e.8 to 9,7 to 9 or vice versa.
Also when you go back to MIUI don't forget to flash lazyflasher.zip.You can find it on Google

Don't wipe all partitions, that will mess up Your phone beyond hope. First make backup of all partitions in twrp and then only wipe data, system, dalvik cache and cache.
Also don't forget get to install gapps (if not included in rom itself). You alsoay need to flash additional zip file to prevent force encryption.
Thanks
Personally, I use OrangeFox recovery, and I usually wipe the whole phone clean including the internal storage (I have backups on my PC) and I install the ROM, plus Gapps (With Pixel Experience ROMs I'm sure they come with the Gapps prepackaged so there's no need to install Gapps). After the wipe I reboot into recovery again, and flash the zip file for the rom. After that, I wipe my dalvic caches and reboot the phone. The first boot usually takes around 4-6 minutes, and it boots you right into the setup screen. Be sure to backup all your data and partitions.
