Hi everyone,sorry to disturb y'all here
But I have some questions over here
Currently I am using the Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i model and I flashed the Ace-I-Sure rom for quite some time ago.
But now i wanted to try another rom,so I downloaded the new rom and put it in my sd card,wipe cache,dalvik,factory reset and everything according to the instructions given by the rom creator,somehow when the device is tryong to open the package,suddenly the installation was aborted. So I try to perform it again,but it's still the same,what is the problem actually? Do i have to flash back to stock rom before flashing a new custom rom? (I was thinking of CM7 or Adrenaline ROM). Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance
P/s : I am a noob newbie here,if there's anything that I did wrong while I am posting this,I am sorry

The reason you are getting the error "Installation Aborted" could be because the rom package must be corrupted. Try downloading it again. If you still have this error, it could be a problem with the rom itself. In that case, you can install another custom rom from the recoverymod. You don't have to flash stock rom before flashing a new one as this was an error caused by the new rom and not your device. If you still can't install any of the other rom, then you can install stock using odin. Do post your results. Hope I Helped

Hi there,
Today I received my Samsung Galaxy S2 and now I'm trying to find some information about custom roms for my phone. After searching through all sticky's here I cannot find any info about where to start with custom roms.
My previous phone was a HTC HD2. I've installed android onto my phone using MAGLDR and Clockworkmod, which worked great. The thing I liked the most was that in case I screwed up a installation I could alway flash the original Windows Mobile ROM back, making my phone almost stock again(still will have to remove HSPL then).
I also helped a friend install custom roms on his HTC Desire HD, but the thing I notest on that phone was that you could never go back to the original android installation. I hope this is different with my new phone.
So these are my questions:
- Where can I find some information about flashing a new ROM to my phone?
- And is there a way to revert back to the original ROM after using a custom ROM?
Grtz Willem
First read this:

First root your device.
Then:
Flash a rom which you can find in the Development section. Every big rom has their installation procedure explained. (VillainRom, Cognition.. dunno)
----
You can just flash back the original stock rom, but there's a hidden counter that counts how many times you flashed new software. You need a little tool called a 'usb-jig' to completely undo the number the counter is on. This way you'll retain your warranty.

Clockworkmod? If so, where can I find the ROM?

Nope, with Odin. You can find the Programm and the rom together with instructions on www samfirmware com
Thanks everyone, I'm downloading the original rom now, then will try my first custom rom for the SGS2 (VillainROM 3.0.0)

Hi guys. Need your help over ere! As the title suggests, ive forgot to take a backup of my rom before flashing with 'Sensation rom by Crysis'. Now, if i want 2 revert back to the stock rom, what can i do? Also, theres a new v2.5 available for our SGS2s but I cant update nw, as the update option is probably removed on dis rom! Plz help!
You can install a clean stock ROM without any problems. All your stuff that were in the old one are gone though, unless you didn't wipe before installing the new ROM.

Try from recovery mode using cwm.zip and put the new rom in the sd card. Delete first data, cache, dalvik cache and such luke guides say.

dude!!
you tried to install CM7 on ICS!! Don't think this is possible... (e.g. your current predicament)
you should try CM9, custom ICS -=or=- MIUI v4 etc.
I'm currently using CM7 ^^ just installed today - forgot how smooth it is... still it's not MIUI - but it's good for a holiday
same was the case with Resurrection ICS ROM v2.0.it didnt work either.will do anything to make it work.let me try this .will tell u then.thanx a lot sir

I don't know if that is the problem, because cm7 should work with ics, at least there are videos on youtube.
even i think so that the problem is something else...most probably mismatching...still i am gng to try it
THANX
bravo...i was able to do it finally.first via triangle away i was able to reset counter and then installed cm9.thanx a lot frnds

As you already solved the problem, can you please add "[SOLVED]" to the title of your first post?
Would be very nice for other users who look through the Q&A posts trying to help others ... just like me spending some time to read your post and finally read at the end, that you don't need help any more.

You have to use kk compatible kernel before flashing any kk rom.

Thanks for the tip mate:good: I did some reading and found that I need to Flash CWM 6.0.4.5 or so. But somewhere I read about kernels. Can someone tell me the sequnce in which I should flash CWM, Kernel and ROM . Probably going for CWM 6.0.4.5 , Gustavo's kernel ( just because read somewhere its good ) and POUND ROM. Do I need to do all at once ?
Do I need a PC to flash these stuff ? I have a PC without admin priviliges so I can just download the files and copy to my SD card.
I know no one wants to feed spoon , I have done my homework need someone to show me the way to do it without me having to go through entire XDA pages.
Please help.

I believe that thread is about flashing NEAT ROM. I want to Change from NEAT ROM to POUND ROM 4.4. I guess it should be similar for any ROM. How Do I Change my kernel ?

Yes if its zip then u don't need a pc.
Just flash it without wipe
Dorimax is used for Dualbooting so people prefer that
Gustavo's kernel is one of the best known kernel for kk right now

Thanks for helping me out, Well the main reason for me to flash a Kitkat Rom was because I was not able to login into my skype account using the android app. It says " Incorrect username/Password" . Well I re-installed skype serveral times but same error. The login details are absolutely correct because I can login using PC App and browser. My friend tried his ID and still problem seems to be with my app as I too can login on other phones. Thats when I started thinking maybe this is because of my ROM. Unfortunately after following this thread to flash POUND rom it still seems cant get skype working as same error appears .
Can someone help, Skype is very important app for me.
Do I need to open a new thread related to this for related responses?

Maybe there are some problems with older datas. You could try formatting internal sd with a PC :thumbup:
