Hi, as XDA doesn't allow me to ask this neither on the Omega Thread and on Ktoonsez Thread of the S4 development, I'l have to ask it here untill I have 10 posts.
I have a i9505 Galaxy S4, (I had an S3, a Note II with Omega, and an S2) and installed Omega 5.0 through the way ::indie:: indicates on Omega's thread which is as follows:
Installation Instructions:
1. Backup all your app and data so you can restore them to Omega v5.0 (I use Titanium Backup)
2. Make a full wipe (Data, System, cache, dalvik Cache) from recovery then boot to download mode immediately and flash Stock I9505XXUBMEA with odin
Get the firmware from here.
Flashing stock XXUBMEA is needed to make wifi work. Many users reported that it took them many flashes with odin to make wifi work on stock firmware.
3. Make sure all are working ok with stock XXUBMEA firmware, check if wifi + LTE (if your provider supports LTE) are working ok
4. Flash TWRP Recovery with odin, get it from here
5. Boot to TWRP Recovery and flash Omega Rom.
Wipe data from recovery is not needed, wipe your data only if you want to.
6. If LTE is not working flash this zip: I9505_Enable_LTE.zip
Ok.
Everything working great!
But then I installed Katoonsez GREAT WONDERFULL Kernel, but the device got so hot, and I could observe throught KTweaks that my cores were allways ever online and the clocks weren't adjusting well.
This happened with every governor and scheduler.
Then I could install every Kernel including reintalling the rom with the original kernel afterwards that this happened. The only way to make it stop was going to recovery (TWM didn't helped, but CWM allowed me to format every folder like system folder) and only after formating everything, and installing XUAME2 stock ROM through Odin would make my phone not boot so warm again.
It happened several times and got me lots of flashings to dyscover the baove procedure to make the phone not get warm.
Once, it wokrd I don't know why, with Omega 3.1 and KT-SGS4-TW-JB-INTL-05-30-2013. Actually it had the same issues, but specifically with intelidemand it suddenly started to work fine for the first time, and was the best week I ahd with a phone ever!!!
Then yesterday I tried to update to Omega 5.0 and KT-SGS4-TW-JB-INTL-06-06-2013 and all the madness started again :crying:
I'm stuck in the loop and I simply don't know what in the process is making this happens. I tryed to flash in sevral different ways, but in every single way this happens.
I tried flashing the kernel in the same CWM session as I instal the ROM, I tryed doing separately, I tryed wiping wvwrything, I tried wiping only some things and not others, I tried fixing permissions and not fixing permissions after Kernel install (they recomend to fix permissions)...
Well, it is a nightmare!!! All I wish is to get my phone working as lovely as it was with Omega 3.1 again, but even installing the same files in the same way I did, I'm not geting it!
Please help!!!
BTW when I updated to KT-SGS4-TW-JB-INTL-06-05-2013 also on Omega 3.1 it was still working great.
Even on undervolted note 2 I never seen a Battery last longer! It was amazing! Then yesterday when trying to updadte to get HDR video on Omega 5.0 it all started again...
Wouldn't it make more sense for you to have asked this in the i9505 forum if you're using an i9505?

Hi, I'm a new to rooting, but long time jailbreaker, and man this is way harder than I thought!
I think I'm on the right track, I've uploaded Rom (Super Nexus 3.0 i9100 ect), CWM-SuperSU v0.97 and Google apps (gapps-jb-20130813 ect)
But, I've unfortunately had a couple of failed attempts, originally coming from 4.1.2, I'm now back to 'stock' 4.0.3 and can't update, so I'm going to try again.
So I wanted to know, using Odin, is 6.0.2.9 the latest version of ClockwordMod and/or for the Galaxy S II (if it matters?) I've already got it on there, but I've also got a Siyah on there too, so just want to do another flash to a CWM.
And yes, no quarms about completely wiping the phone, I've backed up all the music, pics, call logs, ect, so just want to learn how to root to the latest version of android, and this version looks great.
Mm it's really not harder than you thought. You're over complicating things.
2 current options :
Have you flashed & are currently running siyah? If so, then boot into recovery and flash supernexus & gapps. Done.
Not currently running siyah? Flash siyah via Odin in download mode. Reboot then into recovery and flash your rom and gapps. Simple. Rooted and new rom.
As far as using CWM on its own (ie just flashing the recovery) it'll only be temporary. Every reboot it will reset to stock recovery. Hence why you need to flash siyah to keep the permanent recovery & be able to flash a new rom.

Thanks Hopper,
I decided to use CWM 6.0.2.9 (so now there are three kernals, 2 CWMs and 1 Siyah, wish I knew how to clear them out).
First time I tried to use Super Nexus 3.0, it looked ok, but wouldn't reboot, but then I just re-installed eveything again (both times CWM), and now I've rebooted twice no problems? I think I read somewhere that it had to be done twice, I have no idea why that would be.
Oh yeah, but now I need to get Swype back on there, forgot it was a Samsung exclusive, I'll see how I go from the Google Play, but I'm guessing I could get a custom .apk from the internet anyway.
Hey folks,
I'm desperately trying to get a CustomRom working on my GP4.
I'm relatively new to the device, but not to CustomRom's, since I was using a Motorola Defy untill last summer, running CM7.2 and CM9, MIUI and a couple of others.
So here's my issue:
I flashed the Terrasilent Kernel in order to get CWM so I could flash the .zip's from there, as some weren't available for odin.
The kernel works fine, but as soon as I try to flash any CustomRom (I tried CM9, CM10.2, Hydrogen and the PACMAN Rom), I'm just getting infinite bootloops.
I also tried flashing with SD card removed, SD card back in....doesn't help. No matter whether it's done with odin or CWM.
Mostly I get stuck at the Samsung screen , the PACMAN insert coin or the Terrasilent phonebooth .
Does anyone have suggestions how I could make it work?
Cheers!

Did you wipe the data/cache? Also, I believe you're supposed to flash then ROM first, THEN you flash the kernel.

Forgot to mention that: I tried various ways: first wipe data/cache, then flash ROM; first flash ROM, then wipe cache; wipe cache, flash ROM, wipe again...
In order to get CWM recovery and being able to flash a zip I flashed the Kernel first. For CM9 I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213152
As I couldn't flash any of the pre-flash zip from stock, I thought it's necessary to flash a kernel including CWM first. It was done in the same way in some youtube tutorial I watched, where the guy already had the terrasilent kernel on his device.
For odin, I will check if it works with first flashin the ROM and afterwards the kernel.
Cheers for your fast reply!
Hey Guys,
I'm having a bit of an issue. Currently I was running STOCK Android 4.3 JB, have been for a while, it started to get a bit slow & I was wanting to fresh install, but also try out a 5.0 lollipop ROM. I've rooted my phone in the past and installed custom ROMs before without a problem (Revolution Remix + Cyanogenmod 11), however, I decided to try Liquidsmooth 5.0 lollipop. i followed this video,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QquFDFEEKlI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-liquidsmooth-lollipop-4-0-b1-t2980477
I downloaded both files and copied them onto my MicroSD card.
I backed up my data (contacts, images, files etc..)
Booted into "Recovery Mode", wiping Cache & factory Reset
When to install from SD, located file and it started reading/installing (sorry can't remember exactly what it did), but during process it failed. I went back into Android (had to setup again), Went and made sure Developer Mode and USB Debugging was on, still didn't work.
Went to make sure CWM was installed/update, which it said it was (possibly from previous custom installs?), tried updating, failed. It said
Went and installed 'SuperSU' from Play store, but got this error.
Decided to try re-install STOCk 4.3 JB, I
made sure USB Debugging was on
loaded Odin 3.07 (or was it 3.09) and loaded 4.3 Firmware under PDA (left everything else as is)
Started and let it do its thing. It finished/PASSED and phone restarted.
i went back into the phone, installed ROM manager & SuperSU again to give it another shot... but same problem again, getting the error above.
I'm not sure what's happened and I'm not sure what "solutions" to search for... anyone have any suggestions?
At this stage I'm thinking of just going back to STOCK 4.3, then maybe try again (either with Liquidsmooth lollipop, or, Slimkat 4.4)
Thanks guys, any help would be super appreciated,
Regards,
~ Dave

First of all and most important don't use rom manager! it causes more problems than anything else.The best way to install custom roms is to use Cwm,PhilZ or Twrp to install anything!
Flash superSU zip in recovery from here >> http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1 << SuperSU forum here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 << Technically you should not need to flash SuperSU because nearly all custom roms come with root built in so you could flash a custom recovery then wipe and flash your rom (but I can see you have been having problems doing that)
What you should do is
(1) Flash a custom recovery with Odin (Recommend PhilZ)
(2) Reboot to custom recovery
(3) Wipe phone
(4) Install custom rom (which is already rooted) from Ext SD card
(5) Reboot (If you get bootloop factory reset/ wipe cache
Also to note PhilZ recovery (which I think is better as more options and is based on Cwm) as a option to fix root in settings.

hi tallman, much appreciated for the reply
For some reason I couldnt get Philz Custom Recovery to work with odin, kept getting an error :/ . So I ended up trying TWRP, which worked, I booted into it then installed Liquidsmooth + gapps, all installed ok, but all up it was the same process you mentioned, which I greatly appreciate.
So running Liquidsmooth 5 now with TWRP recovery, though will likely give Philz recovery a shot down the track

Good to hear it's working Yes it's worth persevering with PhilZ it's a good recovery although Twrp is not bad either:good:
I'm trying to fix an ace gt-s5839i (rooted with stock ROM) that won't boot up, it always goes straight to recovery.
I've searched for fixes on this forum (and others) and the fixes i have tried so far have not worked, these include flashing a new recovery (clockwork), flashing a whole new custom ROM (razordroid and CM) and flashing stock ROM through Odin, also it won't even let me wipe data through recovery as it will just stick on formatting data.
Any idea what is up and how i can fix it? The phone belongs to a relative of mine and he said he woke up one day and the phone was in bootloop, he took out the battery and put it back it back in and ever since then it just goes straight to recovery.

Ok , I did mention troubleshooting method for similar cases like you in many posts here mate ,, Just get yourself stock s5830i firmware compatible with your Region/Carrier and make a wipe / split packages with the help of splitfus2 or simply use one of the pre-made packages >> Follow my instruction @post#4 from the line :"1. Download one of the newest ,,," to the end of the post .
btw razordroid was obsolete and buggy at the best of the times anyway , try newer/more stable from development sub forums .
After resolving your boot loop and partition issues you may flash your newer s5839i stock fw from i,e: sammobile database on top of your s5830i over Odin ( normal flashing procedure ).
Hope I did Help you
So first of all, hello
I'm pretty new to this whole universe of custom roms, rooting etc.
My main problem is that I tried to install a custom rom (2 to be exact,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/5-1-x-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3066864)
So, the whole rooting process was on this side:
http://www.techverse.net/root-samsung-galaxy-s3-android-4-3-jellybean/
I did everything and it worked like a charm
now I wasn't really sure about the crossfire recovery so I wanted to get cwm (because I had that one on my s2)
I downloaded it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...covery-clockworkmod-touch-6-0-3-2-gt-t1719744
flashed it via odin 3.07 and everything worked fine
now I just wanted to install a custom rom:
Trying to install the cyanogenmod 12 resulted in a status 7 installation aborted error. I figured that this may have something to do with my
cwm version so I left it alone. The bootloop started on this try. I wiped Dalvik, Cache and Data
I thought that the bootloop resulted because I didn't have a single firmware installed so I tried to install a second rom. This time it was Archidroid. The Aroma launcher started, everything started, I chose my stuff etc. The installation began and I thought it would work. I was dead wrong. Some things failed on the installation but it still resulted in a finished message. This didn't help the bootloop tho. I made a factory reset, wiped dalvik, wiped cache and data, but nothing helped so far.
The only options I haven't tried are restoring my stock firmware and flashing another recovery (most like CF auto root).
Can somebody help me? I should mention that my phone is a samsung galaxy s III gt-I9300
Things u should consider:
Are u 100% sure U have the international galaxy S3 gt-i9300?
Are u sure ur download of the rom was completed? Sometimes the download can end up generating a corrupt zip.
I don't know which CWM versions comes by default, but it may not be updated, in this case u should use the recovery update option inside Aroma from Archidroid 3.1 as in the post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859)
If u r a new user maybe u could try an older version of Archidroid, cause the last version is a bit buggy, there is no CM12.1 running perfectly yet, maybe u can try Oldstable: "ArchiDroid 3.0.2 GitHub | XDA Direct | XDA Torrent" from the same post.
About recovery the Philz Touch recovery is easier to use, BUT is no longer updated, the last version i found is philz_touch_6.48.1-i9300-JustArchi.zip in http://d-h.st/users/Archi/?fld_id=34646#files or u may find a newer version here http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300 (but I'm unable to resolve the DNS for the moment for this link)

I'm about 90% sure that my s3 is the international version (I'm not really sure how to check that)
as for the recovery update option in Archidroid. I'm actually really afraid that the update could somehow damage the recovery. Is it a safe process?
