Firstly Merry Christmas everyone!!!
Secondly I found a bug while using the smartphone revolution rom. I did a full data wipe from CWM recovery and installed the rom and the bloat package, everything was working great but when i tried to change the system font the phone crashed and rebooted but now I cant connect to any of the Google services like google play everything says no connection. I looked online for this but no of the "no connection" fixes worked so please help
Usual advice: check md5 of download, full wipe and reflash. Use latest philz recovery to flash.

Well thank you for your advice.... I knew that I had to wipe and re flash but what I wanted to know was is this a known bug for this room and is there a simple solution to fix it. Anyway I wipe and re flashed everything is working great but will this bug be fixed???
There's no such thing as a bugless rom. Reflash the ROM of a new base, say 4.1.2 latest, root, install philz recovery, use mega wipe, flash rom, reboot. Don't install the stupid bloatware package. It slows the rom down even if you just install a few things.

So flashing the new version either via OTA or via download and flash results in the Back acting as the Home button for me.
In addition, flashing the GAPPS package does not install the Gapps (Play store etc.)
Anyone have any idea?
I have performed a full wipe - wiping data, cache, davlick cahce and it does the same thing each time.
Tried re downloading in case of a bad download/flash - same thing?
I'm stumped????
Sounds like you might not have the right version. Redownloand and try a clean install.
I would re-download the ROM and gapps. When Task first put up the gapps link, the main link linked to the ROM for the S3 and not gapps (the mirror was correct). So what you have most likely been doing is installing the latest AOKP ROM for our phone, and then flashing AOKP meant for the S3 over it. Thus things not working and no gapps.

Hope that works for you. I had same guess as DaveyBB, as there seemed to be the two versions posted and some confusion about gapps after first load. I have been running the 5/9 i777 update along with 5/8 gapps and it's been running great. I did a full wipe, but I also ran first just with cleared cache and dalvik cache and it didn't seem to have any problems that way either.
Good luck!
hello to all
well i have tested a few ROM´s but the Custom Stock Rom (Codenam: ETERNITY) is one of the best in my opinion.
I have flashed this Rom, and it worked realy fine, my first mistake was that i did not make a backup, and my second mistake was that i have tried to flash some Mod´s.
After flashing a few Mod the Rom does not working correctly, anway i though i reflash it again, but that was not so easy as i thought.
After four time flashing, it did not work, so i thought, i flash the Original Samsung Firmware (i downloaded from Sammobile) so after flashing i rooted my S2 again and the Rom Eternity download it again, and save it in my mobile, in CWM window, i have follow this instructions.
Installation Pocedures:
If you're coming from ICS Roms, Stock Roms, AOKP/AOSP Roms or Custom Roms:
Download the zip file.
Put it in either internal or external SDCard.
Reboot in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.
Go to Mount and storage, format preload.
*If you do not have fromat preload in recovery (Except Philz and Jeboo kernels), Please go to Other Links section on 1st post to get the GS2ROMWipe. Then, run this in recovery*
Install the ROM.
After installation finish, reboot your device.
The first boot will take several minutes.
Please allow 5-10mins to let the media scanner to finish after configuring the Setup Wizard.
Then, open up SuperSU App and update it.
But it did not worked, later i have follow the instructions from the Video, the same problem.
I see only on Screen : " Samsung Brilliantly Stock Custom Stock ROM"
Please allow 5-10mins to let the media scanner to finish after configuring the Setup Wizard.

Hi, all!
I have that annoying problem with all the 4.3 ROM I've tried with no exception. Everything is fine until the first reboot. Then it's stuck on the first Galaxy SIII boot logo. I'm using TWRP - the latest version if it matters.
I always wipe everything first.
Please give more details on how you flash it.

If you did all required wipes and followed the instructions did you try a different recovery? I read in the SB thread for example of people having issues with TWRP
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
I am sorry for the wrong section. May I ask some to move it to Q&A?
I always wipe data, cash, dalvik cash, system. Then install the ROM and gapps...
After the restart I set up the google account and etc. And after the first restart the phone freezes. That's all.
I'll try with different recovery.
PS. I've just tried CWM recovery 6.0.3.3. and Omega AOSP v9. Still the same.
Try cwm 6.0.3.6 and after you install the rom and after its set up go to recovery and factory reset

That's strange, I run Philz recovery and every 4.3 flash till now went through without issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I tried all the recoveries I could find. Including Philz. Still the same.
And something else strange. I installed CWM, CWM, touch and Philz and with them I made backups. After restoration of the backup the phone freezes. I also tried to install Omega 49 and the installation goes OK, but freezes before the first start-up.
The only solution was to install manually TWRP (Odin) to restore some of my old backups. I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with my phone. It's black if it is important.
Suggest total wipe of phone install your stock rom and test
Hi,
I just want to say I'm also having the same problem.
Started using TWRP with full wipe, same issue on 4.3 and no issues on 4.2.
On latest CWM same problem and 4.2 wont even pass the first boot on Samsung logo.
Also had to use Odin to get back on TWRP and flash a 4.2 rom again.
Anyway there is one more thing I would like to try but haven't had the chance to do so, is installing the latest modem and ril. But I'm kind skeptic about that currently because there is also some risks and my S3 is my daily driver.
Don't change the ril on any custom as you stand a big chance of breaking the calls and Tex's. Modem yes but not ril. Do change to cwm and retry.

Thanks for the info, I was planning to read more about it before I would make an attempt. BTW already tried CWM that only made things worse, couldn't flash any rom without getting stuck on samsung screen.

You are doing a full wipe?. System and data is the main thing to wipe not just factory reset. So go into mounts and storage and format data,system and cache there then flash the rom /gapps.

yes tried that, also used the mega wipe zip thing
Start fresh and flash stock with Odin then try again after you root and install cwm.

Thank you!
But nothing helped. I flashed a stock ROM, with Odin. First I tried with TWRP, and the second time (again after flashing stock) with CWM recovery. I tried two 4.3 ROMs. They both can't boot after the first reboot.

3. Boot up and finish first run menus
4. Flash twrp with odin
5. Format data with twrp
6. Flash 4.3 rom
Hi!
I need some help with understanding of flashing custom roms e.t.c.
If I have 4.3 ( latest official update ), is it possible that I upgrade to CM11 4.4? Or I just can flash roms wich are based on 4.3?
Dont get it!
Thank you for responding!
If you have custom recovery installed, then you can install Compatible ROMs for your device (such as CM 4.4). If you are running stock or another ROM, then by entering custom recovery and making Nandroid backup first, you can install the ROM. To install, read the post for ROM you want to make sure compatible/whats needed (like GApps, etc), download, backup current ROM if isssue happens (to save yourself), WIPE data/factory reset, WIPE cache/dalvik cache, install ROM/etc as directed via the ROM post page. As long as you can meet these, you can flash what you'd like.

Welcome, make sure you do your research though on flashing and the ROM in case there are issues with the ROM specifically (ex. Bluetooth not working, or something). Any one thing missing (didn't flash GApps, ROM problem, etc) can cause issue. If no issues or you can live around them if they exist, then good luck.
recently i have rooted my samsung s2 plus gt-I1901p, then installed supersu and rom manager....I wanted to flash custom rom. So first I done recovery clock mode 6.0.4.5 or something not sure than I done a backup and than I download pac man custom rom......and when I try to falsh it with rom manager did not work.....I try it manualy 3-4 times and also did not work... every time was some kind of error and after each time I done reboot system now and everything was normal...only after last boot somehow it could not reboot....it was md5 data error...I try it several times and finaly I did advanced recovery and start from data and aggain error......so I just turn it off and on and my phone was fine....but I did not have some of my app......viber, skype, rom manager....I try it to install rom manager aggain and than I had an errod code -24...what should I do know.

This could be caused by the corruption of google play store files. You should reinstall rom and install the proper gapps file. Make sure to wipe system, cache, data and dalvik cache before reinstalling any rom. md5 errors are caused by the corruption of flashable cwm zip files. Try a different rom and this should fix your problems.
