Hi there,
I've recently decided to do a bit of a clean up and upgrade my ROM from Omega v36 to v39. However from the Official site, I noticed it went from Omega I9300 XXELLA to Omega I9300 XXEMA1. I didn't think this would be a problem as they were both for the GS3 I9300 which is what mine is.
I followed these steps posted on a site:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Wipe the cache partition
3. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik and batt stats.
3.5 Do factory reset to wipe my data. <---This I did myself as I wanted a fresh install.
4. Go back to mounts and storage and format system, then data, then cache.
5. Go back and install the rom zip file from the sd card.
6. Reboot.
It seemed to install OK as it took me through the Omega setup but didn't really say install complete...just went to the main CMW menu which I then proceeded to reboot as mentioned in step 6.
It comes up with Samsung Galaxy GSIII like normal but after it turns black, comes up with it again with a red symbol near top left and then takes me back to CMW. I deleted the old version of Omega off my phone and now I'm confused with what to do.
Can I do anything with Odin? I can still access the download mode.
Someone, anyone, please help me.
Thank you for your time.
AW: [Q] Flashing Omega rom gone wrong!

Hey i think you have a bad download of v39 (corrupted file) so the new rom didnt install properly, but the problem is you formatted your old system and rom, so now you need to download it again (now its omega v40 XXEMA2), make sure of the md5, put it on your external sdcard (make sure its FAT formatted). and then install it again.

When you say Format it on a PC with FAT...does it matter if its FAT32 formatted?

What do you mean by "make sure of the md5"? Also, like I asked the other guy...does it matter if it is FAT32 and not FAT? Downloading Omega v40 XXEMA2 now
Do you know what MD5 means ??? if not google .
FAT 32 not FAT 16 .

I am currently using mik_os 6.5(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354) and Clockwork Mod recovery. I tried to install 6.5.2 on top of it (wiping cache and dalvik cache) but it gets stuck on the lg logo. After going through the first post, I even formatted /system but that didn't help either.
Finally, I flashed 6.5 and it is working fine. Any pointers would be helpful.
1) mounts and storage/ wipe cache
2) mounts and storage/ wipe system
3) wipe cache partition
4) wipe data or factory reset
5) install zip from sd card
And blowww!! You have 6.5.2 flashed ;-)

Boot into clockwork recovery.
go to backup and restore -create a backup of your current rom (Note:If already backup has been done then avoid this step, backup created using amonra or thunderg wont support restoring using clockwork)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
mount and storage-format system
mount and storage-mount usb storage (make sure usb debugging is enabled)
copy the rom zip file to the root of your sd card
unmount
install zip from sd card-choose the rom zip and install
flashing takes 3-5 min
reboot!
just remeber to backup all ur app using titanium and restore after a fresh install and whnever u update no need to wipe anything just flash over the old version until unless mention by the dev
I didn't want to do a factory reset, however; I still went for it after doing a nandroid backup.
I followed all the steps mentioned by sshbz, but it still got stuck at the boot logo (the one with website address written).
Finally, thanks to the Nandroid backup, I reverted back to 6.5 without having to go through titanium restore.
For 6.5.2, the rom link is given in post 1 and mik_os had also posted a fix for clockword mod users.
I have tried the below
1. Install only the rom
2. Install rom and then the fix
Neither worked. I think I would have to wait for the next update now unless someone can make this work for me.
After browsing and reading a lot of threads I decided to go with WanamLite, because from what I read everything is working like stock Samsung firmware and it's fast. I'm hoping encryption and tv-out work.
I already zergrushed root and installed CF-root CWM some days ago.
So if I flash WanamLite my new bootloader will be the one from ICS? That means I'll get an increase in the flash counter and the yellow triangle, right?
Or is it that this ROM doesn't include the bootloader section?
The instructions in the official thread say:
1 - Copy my Rom to internal sdcard
2 - Backup, backup, backup
3 - If you came from a Gingerbread or AOSP Rom, you MUST WIPE your data
4 - Flash my Rom from recovery
5 - Reboot & enjoy (and let the phone to boot up, at least 5 minutes required for media scanner to finish)
I just want to be sure on this so I don't mess up.
1 - done
2 - I have made a backup using CWM
3 - so for this I must boot into CWM recovery mode and then select Wipe Data/Factory reset and then Wipe Cache Partition?
4 - still in CWM I then must select Apply Update From SDCard?
5 - reboot
Is the above correct?
Thanks a lot for your help.
BTW, is it just me or v10.7 has more features than v10.8?
Check the changelogs in the links after the text "Before you download PLEASE vote for you preferred mods" in the original thread here
The procedure you follow is right.
I would do couple more things before flashing a new ROM.
*cwm -advanced - wipe dalvik cache.
*mounts and storage - format system. This step won't be mentioned in installation steps.but its good to do.sometimes you may have problems moving from aosp rom to sammy rom this ensures that there are no issues.just be careful that you don't format SD card.
Any new flash will increase the counter.you can reset it using the USB jig.

Don't bother about the counter and yellow triangle if you get one, there is an app called triangle away, it will help you remove both the counter and yellow triangle with ease in ics

I just want to make sure I understand this...
So what the "Wipe Data/Factory reset" does is the same as "format /data" in the CWM advanced menu.
And the "Wipe Cache Partition" is the same as "format /cache".
And you're saying to also "format /system"
Is that correct?

I may be wrong on this but, I think I read somewhere that the USB jig was not working with some newer kernels.
So I thought that if the jig doesn't work then it could be that the triangleaway also wouldn't work.
But do all ROMs, or in this case WanamLite, overwrite the bootloader?
Once again thanks.
@ghost shell
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=triangle+away&c=apps this is for the trinangle Isue for rooting , but theirs another way for rooting the phone without yellow triangle by using self recovery .if u came in GB u need to wipe delvic cahce ,data .

usb jig wont work with newer bootloaders that comes with ics. triangleaway is the simpler and easy way to remove counter , usb jig is not required for ics.
for anyone who finds this thread when trying to answer their questions...
All went OK and I didn't got any yellow triangle.
So either the bootloader wasn't flashed or CWM doesn't increase the flash count.
I'm still exploring things, but the phone seems less responsible. Sometimes I tap and it does nothing.
And I think I screwed up by allowing google to backup and restore my data. Either that or WanamLite still comes loaded with a lot of crap (like widgets). I'm not sure.
To my understanding:
1. Flashing bootloaders won't give you a yellow triangle or increase flash counter.
2. Flashing with CWM or mobileODIN will not increase the flash counter as well. (Flash counter only increase when flashing non-official kernel in ODIN mode?)
3. Wananlite CWM zip doesn't flash bootloaders, you need to manually flash the ICS bootloaders if coming from GB.
4. I'm on V10.3 with siyah kernel 3.0.1, everything works as it should. (Next ROM: Sensation v3, perhaps?)
5. If you are not satisfied with the touch sensitivity, you may download ExTweaks from play store and adjust vitalij value.
Hope it helps.
Hi I was thinking of trying this rom to, but I am bit concerned about *mounts and storage-format system operation can someone exlpain this process in more depth as I don't want to loose my saved roms/back ups which are on the internal sd card and my external sd card.

its very simple.....
Yesturday only I have done this for my MIUI ROM, I came from Samsung ROM earlier, but it was continuesly giving one error on each MIUI rom I flashed,
I understand Wiping and formating are same, but in the main menu it is only given few wipes which will not effect your ROM's system file and you will be able to boot even after all that wipes,
But by formating System (at Mounts & Storage) you are completely wiping your ROM with its data, but this will not wipe any data which is stored on the user partion of SDcard (which you can access from Computor through mass storage) . now your pnone is Romless and you will not be able to boot until you install a new ROM from recovey or from ODIN.
the steps are:
1) Put your favourite ROM on your iternal SD
2) wipe data factory reset
3) wipe Dalvik cache from Advance
4) go to mouts and storage and select only format system and do it.
5) go back and select install zip from SD card and install your ROM...
Reboot - DONE
Just click on the link of CWM in my signature for more knowledge about CWM menu and partitions which I gathered for me and shared with you....
Hi all
I am about to install Wanamlite and have a question. If I copy Wanamlite in my internal SD (the 11.5 GB memory space I had afrom the beginning with my SII) and that I select wipe data/factory reset, won't it delete everything on the internal SD including the Wanamlite zip ?

No, wiping will not delete any user data on your SD card which is accessible through PC
wiping Cache and Data will only wipes your phon's some temporory files and applications and its data...

you say you 'failed at the last second' when trying to install CM10... what actually happened?
you say you can access android recovery so I would initially try a factory reset (on the first page of recovery) 'wipe data/factory reset' and see where that gets you
report back if you require any more help :good:

You could try a fresh install of the CM10 rom that you have installed but first you need to do a full system wipe (go into recovery>select 'mounts and storage'> format the following >>> data, system, osh, preinstall and cache)
What else do you have installed on your sd card (that you can see in Recovery)... if the install fails again you're going to have to go back and instal a rom that you know will work (if you haven't got any on the internal sd card you are going to have to install one)

You're going to have to install it on your phone first. As your not able to start up your phone you are going to have to take your external sd card out of your phone and, using a card reader, install the rom that you want on your external card from your pc and then put it back into your phone and access recovery again.
I would recommend that you do a full system wipe before installing the Rom. After you have done the wipe go to 'install zip from sd card' and instead of selecting 'install zip from internal' just select 'choose zip from sd card' and you should be able to see the rom that you installed on your external card.

If this were me now, I would be trying a stable proven rom like CM7.2 (link here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=olympus)
Repeat the installation process and make sure you're doing a full system wipe first.
Do not install Gapps with rom... let's get your phone working first. (just reread your post... after you've installed the rom your phone should not reboot itself?)
Hey guys,
I flashed NeatROM recently for the 4.3 update.
Followed these steps before flashing:
-Install CWM Recovery with Odin
-Download, and save zip to internal sdcard
-Go to recovery, Select Wipe data, Wipe cache
-Go to Advance and Select Wipe dalvik cache
-Go to Mounts and storage, select Format system
-Select Install Rom from SD card
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everything went well and the rom works fine.
I went in to flash a custom kernel earlier and when I selected install from zip I noticed that all my data/folders from the previous rom were still present. The new data is now in a ' 0\ ' folder.
I was running a 4.1.2 rom with Siyah kernel before I flashed 4.3. I also had a build of carbon flashed as a second rom for a short time. I'm guessing this has something to do with the data left behind.
I just want to start with a clean slate and wipe the internal SD completely; will megawipe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326&page=38) do what I need it or do I need to format the SD from within CWM?
Thanks in advance.
p.s. after such a wipe is it better to flash a new rom via ODIN or would it be okay just use a zip from an external SD.

You need to format /data partition. Megawipe will work. But, IHMO, no need for that. Just do it yourself from CWM.
Also, theres a big difference between odin "roms" and flashable zip roms.
If you flash something via Odin, it means that's probably (or surely) an official Samsung firmware without modifications. A flashable zip one is a custom rom.
Depends what you need/want. Most of us here use custom roms that we flash via cwm.
Thanks for the quick reply, bornlivedie.

My mistake for not being clearer in my original post; I have flashed a few custom roms before so I did know that Odin's generally reserved for flashing official sammy roms and customs go through custom recoveries.
Thanks for the heads up and the concern though. Much appreciated.
Going to 4.3 I'd recommend formatting the internal sd in CWM, also system, data and preload. If you read neat rom thread you see similar advice, the 5.4 aroma installer comes with Philz 5.15 recovery which is the best CWM to use.
Hey guys,
I have been having problems with some CyanogenMod roms lately. My I9300 was working perfectly using one of the nightly CM 11 ROM's released in early March, until I installed the latest M Snapshot. From there on in my phone has gone insane.
From time to time, during the day the phone gets blocked without any apparent reason. My first thought was that has something to do with the RAM, maybe its getting low somehow, but no, that wasn't the case. Most of the time I have at least 160-180 free ram, usually more than that.
Anyway, then I thought maybe the problem was the installed ROM, so I did a re-install but still,with no effect. Then I downloaded 17th of march nightly ROM, wiped clean the cache and reset the phone. Still with no effect.
My next solution is: Download the newest nightly, currently 18th of March, install the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, which is 6.0.4.6., reset and wipe the phone again (backing of course) and install the latest ROM. What do you guys think?
Also, does anyone else has this problem after installing the latest M-Snapshot from the CM download page.
I would much appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

Yes. You definitely should install the latest CWM. And when you wipe, make sure that you (from the CWM menu ofc):
wipe data/factory reset
mounts and storage -> fromat system
mounts and storage -> format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
then flash the rom etc
If you didn't do this in the first place when you tried flashing the ROMs the flashes were dirty and that may be the reason why they didn't work.
Doing the above will give you a real fresh start with your ROM and problems should not appear.
So, I don't think the problem is in any of the ROMs you tried.. I'm just guessing, so correct me if you did all the above
I have been doing just fine with CM 11 M3 and M4 builds and now I'm on the latest nightly and everything is working perfectly! :highfive:
Hey Man,
I did that, but now the problem is that I cannot install the rom because it has wiped all the data that were there. Now I cannot transfer the rom into the phone. I transfered it into the external sd card but it does not let me to install it, it shows an error.
What to do now???

You should always put roms on ext sd card before you are ready to flash not internal for situations like this! Flash back to stock with odin and start again.
Connect the phone via USB cable, go to recovery, Mounts and Storage, and then click Mount USB Storage. Then, transfer the ROM. Have you thought about having the Cm instaler?

Sorry I think my reply might have confused you..I was suggesting that he should have transferred his rom to ext sd card before he started to flash and wipe system..It looks like he wiped the system in recovery and could not transfer rom to internal sd so he managed to transfer the rom to external sd where it would not let him install please correct me if I am wrong ..
I know there are other options he can try but in this situation I recommend flash to stock to give him a clean system and minimize any errors he might have and then he can try again the correct way.
