Galaxy Grand Duos Upgrade (ROMs) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm now facing a problem with my Galaxy Grand Duos. It was initially on the 4.1.2 stock ROM. I tried many ROMs for 4.2.2 until I found the ROM that best suits my need which is the RR (Resurrection ROM) and it's now working normally, but the problem is that now, I need to install the 4.2.2 (leaked firmware), I found the files and followed all the tuts I found, but in videos and such they get the message "success" and I get the message "fail", I don't know what's the reason behind this, I tried changing USB ports, changing the cable, I tried nearly everything, but no avail. So basically, I now need 4.2.2 (leaked) or any KitKat (4.4) ROM, I want Carbon or SlimKat, but both require coming from a KitKat ROM (which is not my case) or 4.2.2 TW ROM, I don't think RR (Resurrection Remix) is a TW ROM, so what should I do? I need to know one of them, the KitKat or the 4.2.2 (leaked).
Thank you.

What do you mean? I wipe data cache and factory reset each time I install a new ROM. Not a specific or useful answer actually.

[Q] From AOKP rom to Samsung based rom

Hi guys,
I have tried looking for answer to this question but cudnt and gave up in the end.
I currently have GT-I9100 Resurrection Remix JB v3.1.2 [AOKP JB (4.1.2) and want to install Omega v17 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 which i believe is based on samsung XXLSJ.
Do i have to follow certain steps to go from AOKP to samsung based roms or just can just install it directly from recovery.
Thanks.

Its a great opportunity to learn. Make a backup, flash and try to use it.
The thing is, unless the people who made the ROM dont state explicitly, its really hard to ensure it will work.

Have a look at the OP from the rom-thread. Almost always there are descriptions for how to flash it.
And to make it a little easier: changing roms between AOKP, AOSP or Samsung based roms allways need a full wipe, plus the OP's own recommended steps for flashing.
Sent from the Matrix
Most of the time standard 3 steps would be back up, full-wipe, then flash the new rom + gapps.
In case of any failure, you can still restore the back-up-ed rom.

Flashing its the same process, but a full wipe its highly recommended.

obviously I can't tell you yes or no , as far as I know you can flash anything above anything, the question is if 1) it boots up or 2) if it boots up anything works without FC when you come from another rom base, hence the advise to do a full wipe

Update: after installing the ROM, phone told me my sim card couldn't be found.. Same problem which made me root the phone in the first place. I mean the stock ROM had very same issue on my phone. I tried few different modems, no luck. On top of that I got extended battery kit and the new ROM ate battery from 100% to 0% in one night in idle mode. Went back to cm10.1, now all working again

Quick Dual Boot Question

Hey Guys, Im coming here and well modifying my phone after a long time..I have forgotten few things and just want to reconfirm 2 things about dual booting(as i want to install a new rom side by side). My current kernel is siyah 6.0vb5(the last beta produced for s2). I currently have alliance rom v9 installed which is based on 4.1.2. SO:
1. I wanna dual boot omega rom v24 which is also based on 4.1.2. I can do this dual booting legally right on my siyah kernel version?
2. How does the internal data storage work in case of both the roms? For example, i play temple run on first rom as well as on second rom, so will their save data be saved separately or will be shared?
Thanks for replies in advance
1. You cannot dualboot any jb 412 rom out of the box. It has to be modified but there are modded Roms ready to download. Dorimanx is the kernel for dualbooting jb Roms.
Here you find lots of Roms already prepared:

2. I think they have different data if they dont link to a server.

Not even if my first rom is a custom rom? Alliance rom v9 currently..
Edit: ok i got it, but i jist have 1 question now..For dual booting, should my second rom be dualboot modified or the first rom? or both?
If you want two jb roms both need to be modified since 4.1.2 uses preload where your second rom would be. If you have a 4.2.2 or 4.3 you dont need to mod it since they dont use preload.
In short: if you want alliance as first rom you must download it premodded and install it. Then you install premodded neat as second rom. If you would use cm aokp or pa rom you dont need to mod it. It works as it is.

Ok so u mean to say if i want to install Resurrection remix 4.2.2 as second rom,i can install it as it is right? No need to have either alliance modded or RR moded?
No you cant. Your alliance( IF not modded) is already using preload so you will probably mess up things. There is alliance v9 modded which i used as second rom. Works well. Dont know IF you can get ota downloads though.
I guess you have to backup your data with TB and wipe your current rom(make nandroid first) and install modded alliance. Make sure it works both as first and secrom first since with the thread i linked before. I always use 422 , 4.3 in first and 412 in second, because at first there wasn't 412 for first ROM so it kind of stuck. RR you can flash as it is. No modding needed.

Ota doesn't work on modded alliance rom. Also a good man to talk to would be @Troubadour666 check his links out. Dorimanx 8.xx Imo is best for dualbooting.

If u have a custom recovery .
Thn go ahead and flash the rom zip of any Android version with full wipe.
If u get status 7 error then u need to have latest cwm

Well maybe a little tutorial first
Rom=the firmware on your phone
StockRom=official (Samsung provided) firmware
CustomRom= unofficial firmware (rooted phones only)
Recovery= it's a surface in which u can install. Zip files and do other stuff like wiping dalvik cache etc. You have to differ between stock-/customRecovery
To install zip files you need a custom recovery like clockworkmod (cwm)
(to) flash something= that just means to install zip files via custom recovery
First thing you need to do is installing a custom recovery , depending of your phone model you can eventually use rom manager from playstore (gt-i9100).
If you have another model you may have to find another way to install cwm as I have no idea if it works on other models as well.
If you installed cwm successfully you now have to search for a rom which is fitting to your phone model, be careful, as flashing of a wrong rom can kill your phone forever.
To start the recovery you have to start your phone while holding the power, home and volume up button pressed. Once there it's a good idea to make a backup before flashing something.
If you have installed cwm through rom manager and have still stock rom, you only can start cwm by using rom manager.
Better wipe every data before flashing a new Rom otherwise you may experience a boot loop.
Alright guess that should be all for now, hope it'll help
