Could use some help.
I flashed my Fascinate to Helly Bean 04.05.2013 nightly according to the directions in section 4 of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
Everything worked fine until i rebooted after the first ROM flash and tried to install gAPPS.
CWM shows an error mounting cache, and when though it appears as though gAPPS (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip) install correctly, when i reboot the phone there's no trace of any of the Google Apps.
I've flashed the ROM several times and everytime - same issue.
What am I doing wrong?
You flash gapps in the same session of the ROM for example
"Wipe data>FlashRom>flashgapps>reboot"

Well of course that would work. Having rooted and ROM'd numerous devices before, I was surprised to see that the instructions called for rebooting the ROM before loading gApps; following the standard process worked well.
Thanks for the help.
Just a bit out-of-date

You do not have to yell (caps) and that guide is not up to date, which includes a recovery that still corrupts the cache partition and will not allow flashing of gapps if done in that order. believe me I tried all last night

Hey guys I am a noob here so excuse my ignorance on troubleshooting ROM flashing problems. I have formatted my SD Card using fat32 and have tried to flash the new Jedi XVX ROM several times and it has failed every single time. MD5 matches up every single time and I have the very latest TWRP 2.4.1 recovery. The error message states "unable to open zip file". I have flashed every other ROM out there without issue except for this one. Any help would greatly appreciated on what I can do to fix this problem and enjoy this amazing ROM. Thanks again

I am currently on Eclipse V.1.1.1. I can flash Jelly Beans, Black Beans, and any other RoM you can think of except Jedi's. It's quite frustrating when I think I've done the basic troubleshooting steps and get nada. I am reading that people are drooling all over this ROM and it seems like I am the only one getting an error every time.

Ah ok. From the 1-2 times I have used it it seemed fairly straight forward. I just know for things like CM10 rom it says install cwmod first then flash the rom. Is it possible to flash cm10 from twrp?

Yes it is. Just use goomanager to update it TWRP to the latest. Also I guess you could just use ROM manager to install CWM, but as stated TWRP seems to be the best for the note

Yep, you can flash it with TWRP, just make sure you are running the latest version.

Hi Guys!
Since the jflte family of devices is almost exactly the same I thought I would post my I9505 (jflte) Rom here for you as well!
It has been tested by jfltetmo and jfltecan users and is confirmed working!
To install it, just download the I9505 rom and then flash the appropriate device specific package I created.
Download the rom from this thread
Download the appropriate device specific package
Install CWM or TWRP recovery.
Boot into recovery, install ROM, then install the device specific package then install gapps.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset if coming from another Rom.
Reboot and enjoy!
Your device name might show up as I9505. If you are bothered by it you can edit the file /system/build.prop in the rom .zip package before you flash it.
This does not affect the way the rom functions in any way.
Please let me know if you have successfully installed and running this rom on any of the US variants of the S4. I don't own the device!
Donate to Bajee, the creator of this rom
Donate to CyanogenMod
Donate to AOKP

If you have TWRP or one of the other recoveries installed you can flash it in the recovery.

He means to flash it before you ever even try to boot into system.

Yes that usually pops on a loki issue if im not mistaken. So your steps would be to flash the rom, flash your preferred kernel(i personally like the chronic kernel) then flash your gapps package.

Is this thread still alive or what. I grabbed the rootbox stable and nightly version from goo. And I got to say is pretty solid feeling. I can't find a support thread for these releases unfortunately data doesn't work on either build. All the other junk ass aosp builds have data. I would like to achive data or at least find a support thread.

So, I've been trying to flash a kitkat ROM, and every single time, it fails. I've tried at least 2 different ROMs, including the new beanstalk and ose ROM. Both fail. I noticed that you have to flash with either cwm recovery or the latest version of twrp. Fails with both every time. Wtf!!! I don't understand! What an I going wrong???

*facepalm* You aren't on the modded version of TWRP are you Don't worry I had the same issue initially. Go to the CM11 thread and search for the modified version of TWRP. Also latest touch CWM should work.

Here's another recovery option. I haven't tried it yet, but it is based off the latest cwm so it should work for 4.4 based ROMs. It's getting good reviews so far.

It's really starting to bother me. I even thought that it might be that I deleted files I needed, so I completely unrooted and factory reset my phone, then rerooted and installed CM11, but it still did it.
ROM's I've tried that do it: CM11, Gummy Rom, OmniRom, AOKP
Any KitKat ROM causes my phone to Screen of Death and I can not for the life of me figure out the cause.
Please, can someone help me out?

I will say this. Twrp 2.5.0.2 is probably the best recovery for this phone. Others have had success with various recoveries. But IMO it seems to be the best.
That being said let's alter your process.
Factory Reset is fine. Then go to advanced wipe, select system, Data, Cache, davlik. Then Wipe.
Install rom and gapps. Reboot. Don't wipe cache and dalvik again.
Let me know.
If that didn't work I'll help you get to the right version of TWRP.
Let me know.
Which gapps? Make sure it is a version for 4.4.2.
Banks gapps or PA gapps are fine.

I use the Cyanogenmod Gapps from their list. And today is the first day running the new TWRP. For the last five months or so I was on 2.5.0.2 and I had the same problem. So I don't think that's the issue. I'm really at a loss though, I can't figure it out at all. But I'll definitely try your method.

Google banks gapps. Use the standard Version for 4.4.2. It's a small download. Let's mix it up. Try nameless or beanstalk, roms I know are working great right now. Get the latest beanstalk țhru goo the op isn't updated I don't think. Or the latest nameless.

they both can be very customizable. But if you leave them be they are very stock looking. Cyanogenmod is the base for both. I'm very partial to nameless right now personally. But they are both very good. I just know both are really stable right now.
