There is only instructions for v13.1. I read and followed them and managed to install it. But there isn't any for v19! I'm not sure if it has to be done from CWM or from odin. Any help?

The instructions will remain the same..if the file you have downloaded is in .zip format then it has to be flashed in CWM..

Omegas instructions if you do not understand do not flash stay on stock .
Installation:Install CWM Recovery with Odin - Get CWM Recovery here
Boot to CWM Recovery using volume up, power button and home key
Backup your device and make sure to keep a copy of the backup to your pc!
Wipe data / factory reset (Not needed if you already have Omega)
Install Omega
(Wipe cache will be done automatically during installation so you can skip this step
Wipe dalvik cache will be done automatically during installation so you can skip this step)​

[GUIDE]Fix BOOTLOOP | New Method | Save Your Phone a Trip to Samsung!

Tittle says all!​
Things you will need:
1) Copy of Cyanogen Mod 9 FOR S II..DUH!
2) External SD-CARD
4)Custom ROM that you want to Flash!
3) Patience!
How it Works:
Put CM9 on your SD-CARD.
Go into CWM Recovery! (If coming from a custom ROM that isn't booting)
{Otherwise flash stock ROM above 2.3.* and then flash CF-ROOT kernel and then follow the above step}
Select "WIPE DATA/Factory Reset"
Let it finish and Flash CM9 and don't WIPE DATA after flashing!
Boot! Hopefully it will boot and give you the startup screen!
Finish all the forms and such until you get homescreen!
Go into Recovery and Flash ROM without any sort of WIPING!
REBOOT!
CONGRATS! You Have saved your phone from a Field Trip to Samsung!
Don't Forget to click Thanks and flash my ROM first as it is the ROM I tested after flashing CM9! In order to do that just download my ROM and put it on the same SD-CARD and flash after CM9! LINK: DOWNLOAD and if you Just click on the Image in my Signature, it will take you to the whole thread for features and screenshots!
THANKS TO PHISTACHIO for encouraging me to write one more guide!
99.99% of the time a user has a boot loop is due to not cleaning cache or wiping data. Is a guide really necesary?
Also this guide is ONLY for CyanogenMod, you should edit the title to show that.

Thanks for that! But sometimes when you are flashing a your own ROM(junior devs) they mess with boot files and such that with wiping deletes those so this guide with help of CM9 fixes the problem! It does not mean it fixes CM9 or CM it fixes the issue with any custom roms.!
Will this work on a bootlooping stock rom?

Few questions

Hi, I'm new here and recently got hold of the Samsung Galaxy Ace and was thinking about installing this custom ROM (RazrUIV3) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478807
I have tried to understand the stickied thread at the top in regards to using ODIN to do so but I really have no idea what the thread means. I have however found a helpful youtube video to help me, but I would like to verify whether is it ok to do so:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlgZK7VsecA&feature=player_embedded
I see he followed most of the instructions on the page but only wiped the data and factory reset, what is this davlik cache? Thanks for taking time to read my question and apologies if my English is poor.

Sorry I couldn't watch the video because my bandwidth is very limited. I suggest you look at GadgetCheck's videos on flashing the SGAce. No offence to the aforementioned video uploader, though, I just think that GadgetCheck is really reliable and clear on his steps.

The Dalvik Cache is... to simplify just a special type of cache used by most .apk files.
Thanks for the help. I will have a look at Gadgets video. Is the ODIN method in the stickied thread the only way to install a rom? Or can it just be down via CWM?

Both are corrects, but with differences:
ODIN it's for flashing stock roms, and CMW it's for installing custom roms, over the already installed stock so, basically, you've to follow this steps:
1.- Flash any stock rom you want with odin and wipe (cache and partition)
2.- Copy in to your sdcard the CWM and the custom rom (from massive storage mode).*
3.- Run in recovery mode and install the new cwm. Reboot.*
4.- Run in recovery mode (again) and install your custom rom.
5.- Wipe (cache and partition) and reboot.
Now you're running your new custom rom.
* Thats only if the custom rom you want to install need it
I hope helped you
for razrui u need cwm 4 not 5

[Q] Problem installing custom rom

Hi Guys
Im having some problems trying to install a custom rom into my new Galaxy SIII I9300.
The rom in question is OmegaRom V35
After roooting and all, yesterday i tryed installing the rom with mobile odin, following all the instructions.
The result was the phone rebooted after the instalation seemed to be ok, but got stuck on the booting animation, and never got out of there.
I Had then to inject cwm with odin desktop, wiped data, cache anda dalvik, and then proceed to install the stock rom with desktop odin. All went well and the phone worked great.
I thought that maybe the problem was with mobile odin pro. So today, i went and proceeded to install Omega V35 via CWM. I again put the file on internal sd card, wiped data, cache and dalvik, and the rom started flashing. It all started good but, with no warning, at the mniddle of the installation, when applications were being installed, the phone went automatically and wuickly back to CWM!
Of course the installation wasnt finished, so i was stuck with cwm on reboot. Again made wipe data, cache and Dalvik, tried again to flash Omega V35, and again, the same problem...
In the end, i had to flash the stock rom again.
I searched the forum, but i cant seem to find the problem for this. I followed all the instructions, and had no error messages besides CWM skiping the format of the card, and some message (that i've seen in videos as normal), when wiping Dalvik!
Any clue to what's happening?
A clue read the instructions for the rom .

Maybe i didn't expressed myself correctly, but today i followed those instructions twice, and, at each of these tries the
same thing happened. When the flashing was running apparently problemless it simply stoped and went to CWM without rebooting.

the best stock based rom i have come across is this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998701&highlight=phenom
You don't need to flash a stock rom with Odin and your PC, just use CWM. Just follow the instructions on the page, i've pasted them below for your convenience.
***COMING FROM A DIFFERENT ROM A FULL WIPE IS RECOMMENDED***
***FULL WIPE***
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Wipe data/factory reset in recovery
Wipe Cache & Davilk Cache
Flash Rom in CWM
Reboot
[EDIT] "can I just flash as usual using a ROM manager from the phone being turned on" - yes.

You have to do a megawipe if coming back from 4.2 roms, as these roms change the folder structure of internal storage. Dont forget to backup everything in your internal storage or you will lose them.
Many others have faced problems later by not doing a megawipe.
lefttobleed - pardon my ignorance, can this be done within the ROM manager or is it worth going into recovery to do this? I don't have my phone for a couple of days so I can't currently check settings.
Thanks

you have to go into recovery and flash the megawipe aroma file. sorry i dont remember the link for the file. Search for it.
Please note that i am not familiar with rom manager so i dont know whether this can be done with rom manager. I always flash through recovery.
Edit: Please dont try this through rom manager... i feel something might go really wrong.

Be careful because PhilZ as a option to do a normal wipe factory reset but also a option to install a new rom which formats all the necessary files to do that including your system (rom). This can leave you without a rom to boot into if you don't know how to use it propably,I would just recommend just flashing back to stock with Odin (and don't forget to factory reset after using Odin.

If you have tried flashing stock (and you have flashed everything correctly and wiped correctly) and you are still stuck in bootloop the only option I can see is to try the rescue firmware in the stickies forum.
Be very careful and follow instructions carefuly as it containes a pit file,if this failes then I would suggest service repair.

Tried to wipe again and booted up. It just took longer than normal (5mins) and then it booted up as normally. Thank you very much !
Now, if I want to flash Cyanogenmod again (Not Installer !), I just have to root and then flash Cyanogen Mod, right ?

Yep I agree don't use installer seen alot of problems with it... If you just want to install Cyanogen Mod (or any custom rom) with custom recovery then you do not need to root (only root if you want to backup or access anything from system), all custom roms come with root included. Just use a custom recovery wipe then flash your rom (factory reset if it bootloops) done.
