Hi Gurus,
As I am not allowed to post in the original thread, thus I am asking my question here.
this is the actual thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742493&page=8
I am using stock Samsung ICS firmware (DXLP9) beforehand, rooted using CF root. Yesterday I tried this rom and encountered some issues.
1) After flashing this ROM, i didn't do a wipe (i guess there is no need to as per the title)
2) I notice only applications installed on phone memory will appears on the desktop, I mean on the "Downloaded App" tab itself. Apps installed on SD card will not be shown. Why is this so? Did I miss out something?
3) the Music app will FC when selecting the "End" options to close this program
I have reverted back to my original settings.
Could someone help me? thanks
Even a noob who flashed multiple times would know, it is crying for a wipe.
Haha yes do a factory reset and try again.

i am really a noob cos I flashed only once. you know, it can be very confusing and 'life threatening' for noob like me as some ROM requires flashing of kernel while some don't need, I have been reading till i give up. then there is this bootloader thing. Frankly speaking i also don't know what's the version of bootloader my set is using.
So for all ROMs I installed, I will do a wipe (factory reset, wipe davik cache etc). Is that correct?
thanks
YES
Hey there. I wanted to update omega mb5 version to new mc3 version. Unfortunately i downloaded the mb3 (4.2.1)version and was dumb enough not to notice it until it was flashed -.-
So the problem now is, i dont want to factory wipe the phone, but flashing the correct mc3 version resulted in an infinite loop (the omega android just walks forever)
How can i flash a new rom without losing my data now?
Thanks guys!

YOu could try just flashing it by coping the rom to an sd card but to be honest your gonna end up full wiping for it to boot properly.

So nothing i can do really.....damn
try wiping /system before flashing
try to wipe cache and dalvic cache.
and always do titanium back ups before flashing.
also, you can make a backup and then wipe, reflash, and restore just the data
Thanks for the help so far

tried that right now, unfortunately doesn't help either.
Since i want to downgrade form a 4.2.1 to 4.1 version, is it neccessary do to something about the "0" folder?
And if i should just move that content to the root: how can i do that, since all file managers(with root privileges) tell me it is not possible.
It cant be that hard to downgrade from 4.2 without losing data
EDIT: I'll try if reflashing 4.2 will at least boot so i can use my phone....if it works i'll just do a titanium backup. Hopes-up-mode activated!

Why can you not make a Nandroid backup ???
Downgrade preference is for a full wipe .

Reflashing 4.2 worked with all my data back. So now i can just titanium backup and downgrade

Hi Everyone
One of the senior contributors on here has been helping me via pm but I don’t want to keep bothering him and it would probably help to open up this issue anyway.
In essence, I’ve been unable to flash a variety of ROMS suggested by my friend on my 5380i (CM7, Extremesis etc).
Although the ROMs themselves are fine (checked MD5 etc), they have been mainly failing with abort message status 7. I finally got the Extremesis to install properly but then the phone got stuck at the first Samsung Galaxy screen.
I’ve had no probs restoring to stock with Odin but then keep repeating the problem when I try to flash.
Throughout the recovery process I’ve noticed various error messages when trying to wipe data, format system etc. One is when attempting wipe data from CWM. I get E format _volume rfs format failed on /dev / Stl.11 and similar with wipe cache but Stl.10 instead.
I’ve done some research and understand that this could be due to a corrupted internal card. Can anyone confirm this with a possible solution for my model?
II also get another one when wiping the dalvik cache in CWM. It says "Unknown volume for path sd-ext" I guess that must be linked to external sd. I've reformatted this many times so don't know what else that could relate to.
Either way it seems that I am “corrupted” internally as well as externally.
I’d really be delighted to hear from anyone who ever got any ROM to work on this damn model.
Many thanks Simon
Flash multiformater and there select rfs and then clear data and cache and then mount system and flash extremiss rom or any stock based custom roms..if u want to flash cm roms then u have to also flash cm7 kernel and and make system to ext4 thru multiformater and then flash any cm7 rom

Hi again
Think I've tried most of those things without success. I'll try the multiformatter as suggested then see how I go.
Not at all optimistic as been here before many times!

Tried Extremesis again but phone still freezes on Samsung Galaxy opening screen!!
This is what I did:
1. Used multiformatter to set RFS and clear data and cache.
2. Used CWM to wipe data/factory reset.
3. Used CWM to wipe cache.
4. Wipe dalvik cache.
5. Mount system.
6. Format data, system and cache.
7. Installed Extremesis from zip.
I haven't tried CM7 as that involves the extra steps of cm kernel and mutiformatter to set to ext 4.
During this process I did note two error messages. First when wiping dalvik cache-unknown volume for path sd-ext and then when booting into CWM-Can't mount cache /recovery /latest log
Really confused and frustrated now.

How about, use odin and flash stock rom. Use all 5 files (pit file, pda, modem, csc boot)
After restars phone into recovery. Format system, data and cache. Mount everything, flash rom(redownload it just incase).
Stop complaining, theyre are over 100 android forums which you can ask for help, and this phone is just under 4 years old, every single problem has been encountered from atleast one of us, so it is somewhere in this forum, so look harder. Nobody gives a sh*t about this phone anymore and rightfully so.

I'm sure nobody gives a sh***t, aside from my good lady wife, who kindly bought it for me. I know it's ancient history, but doyouknowot? it's still being sold in stores so has a certain currency, so to speak.
I know there are millions of android forums and I've spent the best part of two weeks combing thru them!!!!
I've also been liaising with my Indian friend who hasn't been able to assist, despite being more affable and articulate than you (not difficult!).
I don't really have a problem restoring with Odin. The errors and freezes occur when trying to install Extremesis and CM7, 9, 10,11...............
Having said that, there may be an issue as I'm only using PDA the version of Odin I've been using, and although that gets me back to stock it may contribute to the subsequent errors when trying to install the ROM. I'll try the multiple files when restoring to stock but not confident.
I think you need to go back to your comics son.

Hey guys, Been having issues with my camera and custom roms, I tried to install Cyanogenmod a while back and it had issues then but I just uninstalled it thinking it was the rom, But now that I have tried to flash roms 3 different times with the same issue I am stumped on what this is, The camera refuses to register on the device, the camera app itself just straight up crashes, no other app can detect the camera either, Anyone know any way to fix this? Ive tried taking the battery out for 5 minutes then rebooting, Clearing the data and cache etc etc. I have no idea what to do. I really appreciate any help possible.
Oh forgot to say I tried safemode too.
Any help would be really appreciated thanks!
Could be the Gapps you are using. Some remove the stock camera and replace it with the Google camera and it doesn't work right. Please list which variant of the S5 you are using, which RR update and which Gapps for further assistance.

ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.1-20160712-kltedv Am on the S5 900I, Could it be the Gapps? I tried out other applications like facebook and another camera app which its not detecting the camera at all on that either, and I am using "BaNkS-Dynamic-GApps-6.x.x-10-20-15"
It's either that or the kernel. Now that I am thinking about it, it is probably kernel related since you have a Korean variant and it's a bit different than the US and EU ones. You can try the Open Gapps version to check though. If not that, you might have to see if there is a custom kernel for CM13 based roms that support the L variant or try another rom. Also, make sure you are on the correct bootloader and modem for whatever rom you are trying for best results. The developer should mention if you need something specific.

Im on the Australia phone by the way, And how do I find the Kernal specifics I was looking and couldnt find it on the site, I couldnt find any specifics.
Ohhh...I thought it said 900L. That makes a HUGE difference. lol Anyway, if the Gapps don't help, wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash this https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3z7nwwq7.../boeffla-kernel-3.0 stable_RR-kltexx.zip?dl=0
Recommend making a backup of boot first, just in case.

No worries. I've done this so many times I can do it in my sleep. lol You would want to wipe system, dalvik cache, and cache and reflash the rom and new Gapps. I'd almost bet it's the kernel though because I think they typically make the roms for the 900F and just change some stuff to get them to boot on other variants. Either way, you won't need to wipe data, so won't hurt to try. Will just take some time as it goes through and optimizes the apps each time you wipe the caches.

Hmm. Well, I'd try the Gapps then. Open Gapps > ARM > 6.0 > Pico
Wipe system, cache, dalvik. Flash rom then Gapps. Then test. If not still, then I would wipe caches again and try the kernel one more time. If still not working then that rom just isn't gonna work for you.

I was thinking updating the stock firmware might help but didn't help that other guy.
The only way to figure it out at this point would be to do a logcat and post it on put it on pastebin and provide a link on the RR thread so someone cam help troubleshoot the error.

Just tried a downgrade from the Android O Developer Preview (2), to 7.1.2 official Google images. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly, so I immediately rooted, and flashed Resurrection Remix 7.1.2.
What I did not count on was auto-rotation not working, and receiving no read on my proximity sensors at all. Thinking this was a ROM issue, I posted to the official ROM thread. Luckily, two users immediately responded telling me this was a known issue after downgrading from O, so I want to post it here in case anyone searches for it, hopefully the solution is easier to find.
Solution: Flash Official Google stock image of 7.1.2, check to see if rotation is working (it probably won't if yours wasn't previously). So now perform a Factory Reset (Settings->Backup & Reset->Factory Reset), some people have apparently needed to reset twice for the effect, but then your rotation/proximity should be fixed! Now you can return to doing whatever you wish with your 6P! Hopefully this will help anyone in need
Solution 2: After downgrading to the 7.x stock image, lock your bootloader. (Be sure to backup your internal!) Once you've locked it, boot up the device and unlock the bootloader again.
Solution 2.1: After you've locked the bootloader using Solution 2, boot up the device and perform a factory reset. Once that is done, boot up the device again before unlocking the bootloader again. Then continue on your Android journey!
Huge thanks to everyone sharing solutions and information on this thread!

If you use WugFresh's root tool, flashing the stock images + unroot will wipe sdcard, however there is a "No wipe mode", but I've never tried it so I couldn't say what it involves/how it works.
The factory data reset(s) will not wipe sdcard, though you probably know that already, just including it in case you don't
Any other questions I'd be happy to answer the best I can

Not sure what a Fabric Reset would do, but factory data reset just wipes Data, Dalvik and Cache, not the sdcard.
I guess you're f**** with me though since I can't imagine someone with you're knowledge and "thanks" doesn't know what a factory data reset is lol.
Anyway, Fabric Reset needs to be an option
I found another solution on the 5X forums. After downgrading to N you need to lock and then unlock your bootloader again (wipes internal storage obviously). Worked for me. Clean install by itself didn't do anything to help.

For real man? First thing I did for you was answer that question, "The factory data reset(s) will not wipe sdcard" look back in the thread.
I certainly don't enjoy being pathetic, and wouldn't say I was. You typed "Fabric Reset" so I thought you were messing around since I answered you earlier.. I appologize for the confusion man, the factory reset (going through Settings-Backup & Reset-Factory Data Reset) wipes the Data, Dalvik, and Cache, your internal will be completely preserved during a factory reset. However, your apps and app data will be wiped sorry again if I came off ignorant I just misunderstood you :good:

So my thanks observation was supposed to be a complement, I was trying to not insult your intelligence by either, answering a question I already answered, or answer a question you already knew. I was being sensitive.
Obviously us writing to each other completely lacks any form of human expression and tone, but try to actually read and understand before discrediting and insulting someone, especially while they're trying to help you.

Very interesting.. I'd love to find out how this works. Thanks for sharing your experience, but mostly I'm happy you were able to find a solution I will add the bootloader solution to the OP!
