I'm new to the thundbolt. I purchased a rooted thunderbolt which after activation keeps prompting me to update. Is there no method of freezing the ota with this device? Best way is to download the zip which I did ? But how do you go about flashing it so it will stop the ota ? Thanks for all your help !

Reboot into recovery. Choose install from SD card or flash a zip. Find the file and flash it then wipe cache and dalvik cache and rebooy

This was immensely helpful. I had forgotten how to do this as I hadn't flashed my phone in ages.
Thank you!

Bad download likely. Remember to wipe cache and Dalvik.

after downloading rom manager
1.open click flash clockwordmod
2. choose your phone carefully
3. click on install from sd card in rom manager
4. boot into recovery
5.wipe cache and Dalvik and battery ststs in advace(navigate through volume button)
6. select install from sd card
locate cm_p500_fll.XX.zip and press search button and wait
you may see install from sd-card complete.

you need to do only one thing. read.
and you need not do another thing, create new thread about it.
another thing you might want to do, download properly, wipe all, format system, data, cache, dalvik, etc. and flash ROM normally.

I want to try different modems. As far as I know, the modem file (zip file) can be flashed in CWM recovery mode.
Do I have to do something else after apply the zip update in CWM? For example, factory reset?

No? If it just says flash in cwm just flash it why would you have to factory reset?

You don't hit update zip. U hit flash zip, either from internal or external sd card . It's considered good practice to wipe the cache when flashing a different modem if I'm not mistaken.

Did you renamed the backup folder of your Nandroid Backup?
I havent renamed the backup file yet. Should I rename it?

What root method did you use? Rom manager does not play well with many cwm included in kernels, like cf root. Better use cwm and uninstall rom manager to check if that's the case

I used a cf root kernal to root my phone, but i installed cwm from rom manager.

Try changing kernel to one with cwm like siyah(ICS) or speed mod(GB) then create a backup from recovery? If you do change kernel remember to wipe cache and dalvik cache!

Are you on ice cream sandwich or gingerbread? And cache and dalvik cache can be wiped from recovery:
In recover it should say 'wipe cache partition' and then go to advanced and select wipe cache partition.

Use siyah kernel, type that into Google and it's gokhanmoral, although make sure you choose the S2 one...you have an i9100 right? And it's recommended yes!

No, that removes root, use a USB jig to get rid of it or you can use triangle away app by chain fire

And both are getting stuck at the boot logo screen.
I was running liquid ics for a while, did a reset and deleted all data which put me back to stock GB, tried that for a day, then tried to reinstall liquid ics and got stuck on the boot logo. I also tried twisted umbrellas latest and I'm having the same problem
I have tries flashing both multiple times and battery pulls. Any ideas guys?

Have you tried to wipe everything but SD card? .. (if you on 4ext recovery its easy). Then go to tools and wipe 3ext system and data. Then flash the roms.

You need to wipe cache and dalvik cache as well. That will boot loop you every time.

After it boot looped a couple of times I deleted both of those and it still Was a no go.

So I just flashed the latest nightly (that is all they have for the S4) onto my S4 and it is stuck in a boot loop. My phone is fully rooted and I have clockworkMod recovery 6.0.3.2. I power on the device and The cyanogenmod logo spins and continues to do so. Not sure what to do now.
Boot into recovery and do a wipe/factory reset. Wipe dalvik and cache. See if it boots after that.
