Hi.
I just like, rooted and flashed my S3 with an Archdroid rom 2 days ago. didnt really like it so thought of trying
★[ROM][26. Jan] GlamourS4/N3 for S3 ♦Touch Of Note 3♦ [4.3] version 5.0 [MK6] [FAST]★
so i go into recovery and wiped the data and cache, and cleared the Dalvik cache too and installed the rom. All was smooth till the installation completed and rebooted. I see the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen for awhile, then blank. Phone's running warm.
What should i do? I tried repeating the whole installation process again.... no help. And oh, i am using the Philz Touch recovery. Does it make a difference what recovery i use anyway?
EDIT: ok its running really really warm now. screen still is blank, yet menu and return buttons do light up when i touch them. what gives?
Hope someone can help out a noob there. Thanks very much

If you are using PhilZ recovery go to wipe data/factory reset option 2 clean to install a new rom this is the best way to install ..Make sure your rom is on the external SD card see if that works and report back.

Then you need to return to stock with Odin and see if you still have problems...After flashing back to stock with odin if you get a bootloop boot into recovery and factory reset..
Update. it occurred to me that the version of the GlamourS4N3 rom i downloaded is the V4, not the V5. So it hangs up my phone upon installation and reboot. its definitely on. Just that the screen is blank and the menu and return buttons do light up when i touch then. Phone gets really really warm. I thought the first boot would take a bit of time, as did the ArchDroid rom but..... didn't happen...
So i downloaded the S4 Revolution V12 and it installed and booted up perfectly. Thank goodness.
But thanks guys for taking time to try to help me out. Cheers. I have downloaded the V5 and prolly try that out in afew days.

I flashed the v4 ytd too and resulted in the same. I had to buy a sd card to unbrick my phone. Tried v5 and no notification bar and they said I selected too much things in aroma installer. And when v4 bricked my phone, the developer said he dun know anything to fix it. It was another user who helped me.

The MEGA download link was fast which is why i downloaded it and i realised its the V4. I verify that both the direct download link and bittorrent link for the V5 works but very very slow.
Yes its always good to have an ext SD card and put the rom in there, becoz when u clear the user data and stuff, and if u have no SD card and yr new rom is inside it will just be deleted altogether and WHAM! u r stuck.I know, becoz it happened to me on my first rom reflash. I was lucky to have an old 2gb mini sd card lying around. I remember 1 came with my P1000.
+, u can set your pictures to be saved in ext sd so when u wipe yr phone to put a new rom in, yr pics and whatsapp msgs r backed up in the ext sd so yea....

Fyi, custom recoveries do not delete the root directory of the internal sd card. So ur whatsapp, pictures, music, rom zips will not be erased when u factory reset it.

Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. Android v4.0.4 LQ7
I am a noob so sorry if my question is stupid.
I have rooted using method 1 in that thread and it worked great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Then I downloaded the app ROM Manager and downloaded CM9 RC2 since it appeared to be a stable.
I used ROM manager to download the file cm-9.0.0-RC2-galaxys2.zip
Once downloaded I saved that file in the external SD Card and used ROM Manager to reboot in recovery mode and install the ROM.
The installation progress fine and complete. I then reboot my phone.
When rebooting the phone displays the Samsung galaxy S2 screen and then switched to Cyanogen (mod) 9 screen. From there nothing happens. The phone won't boot. I tried to removed the battery which is the only way to turn the phone off and reboot in recovery and reinstall the file but the same thing happens.
Please help!
You've probably installed wrong zip for your device/variation.
Specifically which GS2 have you got?
Did you wipe date/factory reset?
Try wiping before and after flashing?
Get the CM9 nightly and flash that instead or try flashing Siyah kernel over the one that is on your device now. I personally use Goo Manager from market as you can download/update/notifications and browse compatible roms via that.

If you do a wipe/reset it will clean all your installed apps/app data and restore settings to clean install.
Its advisable to do this whenever you are flashing a different rom. Its easy to backup and then restore all your apps automatically and silently (without intervention) in a few clicks after installing new rom with titanium backup (pro).
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Install CM9 Nightly from internal or external card.
Install latest CM9 gapps
Reboot system.

Gapps is basically Google apps it gives you the play store and sometimes face unlock. Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache before updating to CM9? That's one of the main reasons why ROMs don't boot up. Also first time boots do take a while about 10-15mins...

Thanks. for that. Do you guys know of a shortcut button to turn the mobile data on or off, like the power button does on ICS?
Also I would like to raise an issue with the ROM Manager App. I cannot do a backup of my current ROM. Every time I try to do so the App freezes. It did the same when I first rooted my phone and I was on the Stock ROM I was unable to do a backup then.
Is this something that happen often with Rom manager?
Thanks

Don't use ROM Manager, due to its incompatibility with most kernels and the S2.
Here's what to do about the short cut for mobile data:
Options –> System –> Notification Drawer –> Widget Buttons –> Toggle Mobile Data
It'll be there at the top when you pull down the drawer, if it's not immediately visible just slide the icons to the side and you'll see it.

You always do backups in recovery mode, Rom Manager (if compatible kernel) simply automates teh process of rebooting into recovery and starting backup.
Depending on your rom/version you can do this via power menu anyway (reboot into recovery).
STOP USING ROM MANAGER!
It can & most likely will fuc& your fone up. If u want to learn I suggest u read all of chainfires posts, then check out the SGSII Bible in the GS2 section. Then get urself the correct tar file for the Cf root kernel specific to ur country or region. That will get u outta the ****e if this ever happens again. Read up on all things root etc. u could do with learning what Odin is too!

Thanks for that. I think I know what Odin is. Thank you so much for that post. You have opened a whole new world! I have opened the SG2 bible I wish I have done that before. I am about to do a back up now. but I have not been able to do a back up of my original stock ROM since I was trying to do it with ROM Manager and it would freeze all the time. I think it is the worse that I could have done I have changed my ROM and didn't not do a back up before. i guess I will never be able to revert back to my stock ROM. Thanks again for you precious advises they have been very helpful!
Naa m8, u can always go back to a stock, u just need to tell me your country & the modem & ROM version, mine was stock Uk 4.0.3 & once you have that you can flash it with Odin then flash the Cf root kernel. you would then be on a totally stock ICS ROM but with root & CWM recovery so you can then flash anything you like. If you give me the country & which ROM (ICS or GB) you would like I can give you the necessary files for Odin.
Do not, I repeat DO NOT flash a stock ROM & stock unrooted kernel as if u do a full wipe it will hardbrick ur fone!
Sent from My Omega powered beast, using Xparent ICS
There's an even easier way....
Go here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071
then simply download the stock unbranded firmware for your country. it doesn't have to be your specific country but it helps as it has the csc etc that you need. Once you have downloaded it simply flash it with Odin & you will be running stock ICS 4.0.3 but with root so you can then flash CM9, but seriously I would highly recommended Omega v15. It's close to stock but sooooo much more. Im in all day if u need help

Hey thanks for that. I was thinking of doing a back up of my stock ROM in case I wanted to revert back to it one day. I will have a look at that thread and let you know of my phone details too. I really appreciate your help. As far as using Odin goes I am not very familiar with it so I'll need to read a Guide on how to use it.

In that case you will need to flash an appropriate modem file for your device or possibly check APN details.
You can get modem via dev section (use search) and APN settings from your carrier or google.
FIrst let me apologize for being a noob!! But I need help. I bought a used Note i717 that has Cyanogenmod 9 on T-mobile
installed and I am trying to get it back to the standard Samsung/AT&T/Android os. (Either Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich version)
I have been going dizzy reafing thread after thread and watching a hundred videos. I have no idea about this stuff but I know I dont want to pay the phone dr guys hundreds of dollars of I can learn myself.
I downloaded odin, and the tar file for what I believe to be ICS stock rom. What I am needing help with is what kernel file I need to download. Also, if I put theae files on the sd card and restore from it I am not sure which mode to go into?
I was hoping to find a step by step for a complete retard like me but so far my 4 days of searching have found nothing.. Can someone please please help??? Many many thanks in advance!!

Probably a stupid question.. but I download Kies on my laptop and connect the phone to it correct?? Also will Kies get it from T-Mobile to At&t?
Yes download to computer and plug in, I think it will get it back to ATT but im not completely sure
Why even use kies? Just download a vanilla ics Rom that doesn't have the bloatware and flash it from cwm which the phone already has since it has a cm build loaded.
Please for the love of god don't run the ota ics.

I guess vanilla is the wrong word since touchwiz is there but you get what im saying. Heres a link to a debloated stock Rom from one of our fine devs. Everything you want, nothing you don't.
http://d-h.st/Shk
1.Download to your sd card.
2.hold power button>restart>recovery
3.wait for phone to boot into recovery.
4.verify you can locate your Rom by selecting "install from internal sd card" and locating the zip file which will be located in "sd card>download".
5.if that is successful then go back to the first recovery menu and wipe system three times then wipe cache three times and then under "advanced" wipe dalvik three times.
6.Return to original menu and repeat step 4 but this time go ahead and tap the zip to install.
7.wait for install to finish and reboot.
Goodbye cm9, hello stock.

OK - so I followed all these instructions and it is rebooting to Cyanogenmod9 still....?? I don't see anything different but it said the install was complete. I think I just wiped my entire SD card... banging my head on the wall.
Maybe I would've been better to pay the pros the 200 bucks they wanted! lol
Is it going to brick the phone if I try it again?
Let me get this straight. You wiped the device and installed the Rom successfully and it still booted into cm9? There's no way. I don't see how that's possible. Not if the Rom installed successfully. Try again. Same procedure. The recovery is clockwork recovery right? The text should be blue

If you do the following you should have no problem putting back stock ICS:
1. Factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik cache.
4. Install rom (i recommend putting it on external sd if you have one in)
5. Reboot. Done!
I also recommend using black star ICS, very good rom.

Yes and no. I think I figured out what I was doing wrong though..
I put the zip file in the internal SD instead of the external, and the file I was installing was not a complete version. (No idea what happened in the download but I am going to try again this morning and see if it's successful.)
Thank you SO much!! I'll let ya know as soon as I get through this attempt!
EDIT: I put the zip file on external SD. Did the triple wipe of data, cache and Dalvik. When in Clockworkmod - I select the zip file from the external SD and it tells me No files found. I tried remounting both SD cards and still "no files found".
Hi there,
i tried a lot of word combinations to get a thread with my specific problem but i didnt manage it to find one.
So here is the deal:
i have german galaxy s 2 (9100, bought in september 2011) and i flashed it last year with darkyrom HD something gingerbread-style.
so it was rooted and all that stuff.
it worked pretty fast and it was stable and it looked sleak.
Last year in November i put Ressurrection remix 3.x (dont know which version of it) on my phone.
It had a lot of crashes, freezes and while playing ingress it always drained around 20% of the battery within 10-20minutes.
So i stopped it. I put the last version of it 3.1.3. of it onto my phone with a full wipe, cache partition, factory reset onto my phones and the problems went keep going.
As an example:
-I couldnt access options where i can select ringtones or to see what is on the sd. it crashed and went back to the "main screen".
-Yesterday i tried around 15 roms, and nearly everything except militant rom keep crashing while iam installing them.
-Sometimes it crashes already while iam installing the rom, sometimes its after a couple of hours, that i cant access the rom any more.
-The newest problem is, that sometimes the power button doesnt respond, when i push it (in jelly bam)
Please explain, what iam missing or is my phone just broke?
It never fell down, no water or anything freaking other things.
I hope you can help me.
should i send it back or what is wrong?

Try changing kernel

i thought the kernel is already included when you're installing one of the roms?
which one should i take?
or how wipe the whole system to have it like "out of the box"?
flash a stock ROM and see how it behaves.

if you are rooted, you can try flashing NeatROM lite 4.2 based on LS8 and see how it behaves else flash official JB 4.1.2 using odin.

ok, ill try that right now..
if not using odin and try to do something with my nand???
after cleaning and putting a stock rom on it and afterwards rooting it with cwm still the same problem: boot loop or while the first installation, it crashes.
so what to do?
just hang around with the stupid official one?
If you did everything from Factory reset to changing kernel, and everything is still bad like that. I think that there's something with your phone's hardware.

after flashing the ROM via odin, reboot into recovery, wip/factory reset and then go in to mount & storage, make sure system, data and sd cards (internal & external if any) are all mounted if not mount it and reboot.

well, i tried that. still nothing. it crashes or i have a bootloop.
so whats up with this phone?
so except the stock rom, where i can boot into it, all custom firmwares just crash or work for a while and then they'll crash.
i dont get this.
it started just days ago, now i dont even can use anything....

just as an example, when i tried to put on the neatrom-lite on my phone, it crashes while iam selecting the country. and this is just 2-3seconds after booting into the fresh and new system.
something is completely ****ed up....
so right now, i have the militant rom on my phone, got booted up, but the power button doesnt work.... when the phone is on...
so everytime, when i want to switch of the screen, i have to wait, or take of the battery. and switching on is only possible with the home button.
whats wrong?
Given you have the same problems on stock, hardware problem. Back to stock, reset counter, send it in for warranty service (if you have warranty), if not, take it to local mobile repair shops.
reseting the counter... with stock? how to do that? i thought this is only possible with root? and i thought, as soon as i root, there is something already on the counter?

You have two option. Either flash a custom kernel (siyah, for example), then reset the counter using triangle away app. Then flash a stock firmware using odin. This wont increase the counter.
Or, if you have a USB jig, flash an older bootloader (have to careful here), then simply plug in the jig.

hey, i got the problem:
i transferred a few files between the sd card and the internal storage of my device, and i realised, that the device is not able to fully transfer the files. it says after 40-50% that its done. is there a flash the roms via ODIN? or how to do that? just put the rom.zip as PDA?

Unzip first.
I'd advice you to read about flashing with odin and watch a couple of videos on youtube before you put yourself up to it or else you're gonna have a bad flash, and that means trouble.

Hi guys, I've owned this tab (p4wifi) for a few years now and for sure loads of junk has been building up in it. I've used dozens of ROMs in the past and it seems to be slowing down. Now the slowness isn't the issue, I just want to revert it back to full, pure stock as in Unrooted stock ROM from sammobile with no user data whatsoever. Exactly like the first day I got the tab, no pics videos or anything that I took.
I live in Malaysia so I'll be using this: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=5982
So now the problem is how to exactly go about doing this? I'm currently running CM10.2 with CWM installed and I want all my user apps, photos and videos gone too, like everything. I understand that i have to boot in Download Mode and use ODIN to flash that ROM image, but hat are the steps before or after that I have to take to remove all my user data? Would really appreciate it if I could have a step by step procedure.
Thanks alot guys

well before flashing the KERNEL image....
it is not quite necessary to totally wipe the phone..
bt to ensure a clean install it can be done...
while.... since u want to return to pure stock.... it is better to first restore your first cwm backup which u made just after rooting.....
coz flashing a kernel wont remove the custom scripts bt only disable it.....
so wat i say is... first restore ur just-after-root cwm bakup.... after that flash your kernel which u will download from sammobile. com.
and then u will have a pure stock unrooted phone like in the beginning

yes you can use the factory reset and it will wipe everything.... from cache to dalvik cache to data..
the system folder and some other folders will only be intact as they contain the rom related files....

Do this:
1. Wipe data/factory reset in cwm
2. Wipe system
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Wipe internal memory or sdcard or /data/media (I forgot what its called in cwm)
Then boot into download mode and Odin flash the stock ROM.
FYI, the other guy was wrong, sammobile offers ROMs and not kernels. And, HEY, I'M FROM MALAYSIA TOO!

Thanks both of you Woohoo fellow Malaysian on this legacy tab. Sweet thanks for the detailed procedure, I'm guessing step 5 is the one that wipes all photos and videos? Because normally 1-4 just wipes user apps. Will try it after having my stuff backed up How is the UI smoothness for you on this tab? Just wondering if I'm the only one who feels that mine is very sluggish.
actually, Toldo's stock rooted ICS rom and Omni Kitkat rom are both smooth.

Yup that's the one that wipes everything. Sometimes the tab feels sluggish, depending on what i use it for, like heavy multitasking and such, but overall its pretty smooth. BTW, I'm running SlimSaber 4.3 on my tab. I feel that 4.3 gives the best performance for our tab and 4.1(pershoot's cm10) is the most stable.

If you're going to revert to pure stock, just flash official firmware via ODIN. Boot into stock recovery and factory reset. It will also wipe the contents for internal sdcard.

just use odin

On stock ROM? I'd recommend A1 kernel or Yoda kernel. Yoda kernel is quite outdated and doesn't contain the l2_hsic wakelock fix if you have the 3g version, but its pretty good. A1 on the other hand, is a fan favourite. Both have performance governors and if I'm not mistaken also powersave governor, but honestly I've never tried trickster mod so I can't tell you that.

Thank you sir, great help so far heh. I ended up flashing the rooted deodexed stock ROM i found in the forum but after flashing I chose to disable stock recovery flash, does that change anything? My first boot wasn't successful so I went to reflash the ROM again in CWM and it got stuck in "Opening update package". I restarted the tab and it booted up normally. Is the stock ROM interfering with the custom recovery? :3

Did you do the usual wipe before flashing? And also what version of cwm are you using? Try using this version of TWRP by kasper_h.

To answer your question, I don't think it changes anything, but saying no to stock recovery flash seems to be the right way to go. And no, stock ROM does not interfere with the custom recovery.

It's alright everything's working now Now another problem popped out I wiped my internal memory which means all my photos and everything non system related, and it did, my tab was practically empty buttt the tab doesn't register it as that ._. The storage part in settings shows that I have used up like 12GB of space even though I have wiped everything clean, I did an SD card folder analysis with ES file explorer and although it showed the same 12GB used, the folders shown do not add up to that, could it be the indexes are not updated? Because I don't see anything that could be eating up all that space

If the sdcard is empty, that means something is hogging your space somewhere in /data. What version of Android were you on before and now?

Ok to cut a long story short I've had to send my HTC One back off for repair so it will be away for a week or so, so I still have a GT-S5380i that I was given from my dad as a spare, thought what the hell last night and decided to flash a custom rom to make it at least a little bit better than it is as stock. So I spotted Touchwiz-Resurrected ROM and followed the guide on how to root and install clockwork mod, which was fine then flashed the rom, that seemed to go fine until I noticed no data or cellular connection and someone said I've probably lost my imei, checked that and he was correct the IMEI was blank, so basically thought what the hell flash back a stock rom using odin, did that and all seemed well, odin reported success and rebooted to be stuck at the Samsung splash screen and that's as far as I can get, I can get into download mode but no matter which version of odin I use or which stock rom I try and flash I cannot get past the splash screen despite odin saying it succeeded, I can also still get into cwm but that seems to take ages?? done full wipes reinstalls blah blah but cant get it to boot
So obviously somewhere along the line I've messed up but the fact I can get into download mode and cwm made me think I could somehow get it back?
Any ideas?
