Hey guys, I unlocked the bootloader on my phone and rooted it.now I want to turn S-off and flash a new Rom. My question is, can I just flash a 4.2.2 Rom or do I have to update anything before I do it? Any help would be great!

You can flash a 4.2.2 ROM; however, be aware 4.2.2 uses a different format for SD than 4.1.2 does. The standard practice if coming from 4.1.2 is:
1.Move everything you want to keep, including Titanium backup folder, pics, music, everything...from your SD to a PC.
2. Copy ROM onto your SD storage from PC or download.
3. Boot into recovery and wipe data and cache ONLY.
4. Flash ROM.
5. Boot into new ROM for first time.
6. After it boots up, boot back into recovery.
7. Format SD card (main SD storage only).
8. Boot back into ROM, set it up, and transfer all your personal stuff into the 0 folder on your SD storage.
9. Enjoy!

DUDE you are awesome! Do I have to flash another bootloader like with other phones? Sorry I have been out of the loop for a long time!

Yes you will need to have a 3rd party bootloader. Theres a few guides here and on the Main One forums on how to.
Also, to address something you mentioned in your OP...no need to be s-off.
Would not formatting your 'SD Card' cause any issues? Whenever I try to flash an AOSP 4.2.2 ROM it crashes shortly after booting and the power button no longer wakes the phone, would this be the cause?

Yes. You have to follow the directions explicitly. In other words, you have to wipe your sd card the first time.

How would you do that from TWRP? I have format sd card, but that'll wipe all my backups etc.
EDIT: Also, when you flash a ROM, doesn't it automatically wipe all the partitions before it installs? Also, someone mentioned alternative bootloader? Is that necessary, what alternatives are there?
Yeah I flashed a 4.2.2 Rom and of course it went smooth but I lost my data backups oh well live and learn

Flashing a ROM doesnt necessarily automatically wipe partitions, and the ones that do dont touch your personal data. An alternative to TWRP would be clockwork mod recovery.

I never deleted my ad contents when I switched to 4.2.2 they just get "moved" just "move" everything back and your good to go .. I would hate to backup 20 gigs worth of music and pics just for a Rom

I expect that the official update will erase the entire phone, but I could be wrong.

Found this link, which indicates that there may be some emulation of directories. Maybe they will copy the files over:

Noob here again
So I want to install Shoshock's ICS ROM. Just to be sure on the steps:
Place on SD card (how do I do this exactly?)
Wipe data via CWM (do I need to do this if I'm on stock rooted 2.3.6?)
Navigate to location on SD card and install

If you don't even know how to put the file onto your phone, I'd suggest you not to mess with your phone.
But if you must.... I'd suggest you read a ton more about it before going any further.
There are plenty of ways to put a file onto your phone.
You do this in recovery (read about this)
Same as above (read about this)
Read more, thanks.
Well, I know how to do this by just drag and drop, but I think I read somewhere that there's a specific way to move it onto the phone?
Do I need to wipe if I'm coming from stock rooted?

Like the other guys said, you should definitely read more before you try doing this. Take a look at the first page of the ROM's thread. It tells you specifically that you have to wipe if you're coming from another ROM.
After you get the ROM .zip on your internal SD (there are several ways to do this), just install it via CWM like any other ROM.
Hi guys, tried searching the forum but no luck in these pages. I have a strange problem. I'm installing a custom ROM, it goes through everything fine, reboots, but it's just as before (i.e same wallpaper, apps, messages etc). This includes after doing a superwipe. So I have 2 questions;
When I superwipe, does it automatically choose the root on the phone?
Is it possible to have the phone's software on the SD card, and is booting from there?
Thanks in advance!
can u be a bit more clear?
which rom?
what steps did you follow?
what do you mean by superwipe?
some apps can be moved to sd card but some wont work on sd card. you cant boot from there either.
Hi
Thanks for the reply. The ROM I installed was this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 - which included the "superwipe" script (I don't know what it does but I'm assuming it wipes everything completely from the stock phone)...
After doing that I installed from ZIP from sdcard, it went through the installation of the rom no problem, then when it reboots it just looks the same, with the old ROM on it
Sorry if i'm not explaining properly!
Thanks
try reading the op....it states that is an improved version of stock Rom with no visual changes! What are you doing flashing roms when you can't even be bothered to read the op?!

I read that - but it still has the bloatware. When I say "it looks the same" I mean literally - same apps in the same locations, same widjets, same wallpaper, messages still there, etc.

Yes but the speed, fluidity and batterylife of that rom is awesome, you can also theme the rom and delete or freeze applications/widgets you don`t need. This is not a restaurant you know where you can order whatever you expect , also do some effort yourself.
Look in settings > about phone and see if the rom name is in there. If it is then congratulations you have successfully flashed a rom.
Although reading about superwipe it seems to wipe everything including internal SD! Why the f*ck would anyone do that, don't use that, its not needed!
Just factory reset it in cwm and that should be enough.

very strange as the super wipe script wipes all data, cache and sd card, so if that isn't happening the flash is failing, and you should get error message...my only suggestion is to try 5.x.x.x recovery as I have seen several problems reported with touch recovery

This rom does not have version 6 recovery, it is 5 and non-touch . The superscript wipes the entire internal sd card and the caches. The external sd card is untouched. And i have done it myself, but after the superwipe it did matter in batterylife and rom speed compared to the standard full wipe.

That sounds like the problem then, flash the Rom from 5.x.x.x recovery and I'm guessing all will be good, so basically you need to flash a new recovery(remember kernel and recovery are separate on s3) and then try flashing the Rom, alternatively flash stock Rom, root with cf root(5.x.x.x) and then flash it

No because after the superwipe you flash the rom from the external sd card and you have the recovery that is included in the rom/kernel. There shouldn`t be a problem realy, it works well if people only read more than the first 2 lines of the OP.

So I went to settings > about and see that it says Android Revolution is installed - but there's something going wrong with the wipe still - considering everything is still the same? I'm not sure how to explain it properly. Kinda like I've reinstalled a browser but it's kept my tabs i guess

Hey Yep that worked as far as recovery goes. Thanks so much for that. I know you said you sd card was formated as extFAT. What should I try as far as trying to get that Rom on there? Flash like you said and wipe after and fix permissions? Never had a Rom fail to install sorry for all the questions just wanting to make sure I do this right. Thanks so much for all you help(need that apps to sd feature.) Can't download folder mount insufficient storage even when I delete apps. Thanks again Tried getting in contact with Andy as he put this rom together but no luck on that front yet I am sure he is super busy doing Roms. Also you said that TWRP version I had was probably the reason, it looks like the latest version? Sorry if this is a dumb question used to Clockwork Mod and 4EXT. (TWRPV2.6.0.0 what i have installed)

Just flash any of the zipped recoveries except Twrp 2.6.0.0. You should be able to restore the nandroids you made if you choose to use twrp 2.5.0.2.
*First check the md5 of whatever rom your going to flash. Then follow these steps.*
1. Format system, data, cache and dalvik cache
2. Flash rom.
3. If rom contains firmware update (i.e. a new kernel, or modem etc. ) then fix permissions.
4. Reboot

Okay, let me rephrase that. Read the directions posted by the developer of whatever rom your to flash. If there aren't any instructions, you shoudl post asking the dev. But if you know what your doing you're going to be ok, in general only wipe the system parition if you know the rom that you're installing is already pre-rooted. You mentioned you wanted to install the stock root deodex VRUAME7 rom made by andybones. That rom is pre-rooted. Just don't install an OTA.

Got the rom installed had to change the card out to my old card which is fat32 not extFAT. As soon as I did that it flashed with no problems. Thanks for all your help. Question though I have a 64gb sdhc card that is formatted in extFAT but the phone picks it up as damaged but you can look under storage and mount it and it will show 64gb.... this was also the case last night when I was trying to install the rom. I have seen a lot of people saying the s4 is having problems reading extFAT so I was gonna format it to fat32 but when I do I lose half of the 64gb card. Do you know of any solutions for this? I would rather have extFAT for bigger file transfer but at this point I just want 64gb of storage lol. Thanks again for answering all my questions these last few days.

I've downloaded and installed MIUI v5 4.1.3 and today it says I should upgrade to a new version. and I prefer to upgrade because of some bugs.
after I click the version in updater app, it says you should reboot your phone and continue it from CWM.
when I reboot and installing it from CWM suddenly it crashes, and the dead android image appear on the background. after rebooting the device it's still on the pre-version.
How I should upgrade this ROM without loosing any data and app?

Not necessary but you may have problems! When I say full wipe use Philz install a new rom settings in Wipe/Data/Factory Reset menu the second option clean to install new rom.This will leave your internal and external SD cards alone.

You can install from internal because PhilZ recovery does not wipe internal card (unless you ask it to) but I would recommend installing all roms from external in-case for some inexplicable reason your internal gets wiped you would then have no rom to install
When ever you need to update or install new roms always keep on external sd card thats best practice.
If this is OTA Update you just need to go into recovery and try manual updation using install from a file. Goto internal sd card 》 miui 》 and select the file which just came during updation. You can recognize by version number.
If this is zip file dowloaded then it better to have backup first using the TWRM or philz recovery in external sd card. Then flash the zip.
The reason being the update script might have lines of code to format the data/cache/system/delvick. Which in turn you will loose your data after updation.
Note again backup using recovery on external card can help you recover you stuff any time

From the screen shot it looks its trying to patch the old ROM with some exisitng library. It failing because may be the lib expecting does not exists or belongs to different version on ROM file.
It tough to to corelate the stuff which is mention in Updater script. You might need to take a look on this file and verify its action against the existing system. Take a look on zip file >> META-INF >> com >> google >> android >> updater-script.

Your using a older version of PhilZ recovery try this one >> http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300 << if it still persists try downloading rom update again it may be a corrupt file.
Using XtreSoLite ROM on a Galaxy S5. When I do a TWRP backup (default settings) and I target my external SD card (64GB SanDisk microSD), the backup succeeds and I can go back to the main TWRP menu and verify that the backup was created in a new folder called 'TWRP' on the SD card. However, once I boot into the system and get past the unlock screen, that TWRP folder is deleted from the SD card along with the backup.
All of the other files on the SD card are untouched, just anything to do with TWRP is removed.
Any idea what could cause this? I searched the thread for my specific ROM with no luck regarding this issue.
I have this issue as well running the stock rom. I also have the 64 gb card. Near as I can tell something about the way TWRP is writing the files to the file system (exfat) android doesnt like and corrects which removes the files. If I pull the card out of the phone before booting android I can see the files on the PC. The work around I'm currently using is to mount an external USB storage to do my backup, then copying the backup to the SD card in android.

Hey there guys...its happening to me as well and its annoying because you cant rely in your backups!
Any solution or just that SD take out workaround? Its kinda dangerous because you can corrupt the SD by doing this often!

Ive heard but it happen that I never came across a situation where I needed it...due to that, Ive never even saw it! However, Ive heard about it and I know its such a powerful tool!
Ill take a loo at it as soon as I have some spare time! Would you mind telling me what are its main uses? Im kinda advances user-mod-wanna-be. So far, Ive just needed to use Fastboot, RSD and custom recoveries!
Cheers man!

I would say odins main use is for flashing stock tars after you get your phone stuck in brickloop after flashing something you shouldn't have :laugh:.......very useful tool I must say.

TWRP Backups being deleted at boot

My solution for this error:
--Device S5 mini G800F
--TWRP 2.8.1
--MicroSD 64Gb
--TotalCommander for android instaled.
Step by Step:
1. Boot in recovery mode.
2. Create and save your backup into extSDCard (TWRP/backups folder).
* Example: extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc\2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY
-- 2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY = my last backup folder name created automatically by TWRP.
-- 2016-01-01--01-01-01 = backup date and time
-- XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY = phone and rom model/version
3. Open File Manager in TWRP and copy your backup folder (2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY) from extSDCard to internal memory.
4. Restart your phone (system restart in twrp).
5. Open TotalCommander and navigate to extSDCard/backup folder (extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc)
6. Create new folder and rename it with your backup name folder. *Example: extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc\2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY
7. Go to internal memory (copied backup folder) and copy all files to created folder in step 6.
8. Restart in recovery mode, run file manager in TWRP and delete backup folder from internal memory.
9. Restart your phone (system restart in twrp).
10. Finish.
