Ok will do so what's the best way to flash a Rom straight to phone or lab top to SD card and should you really wipe cache 3 times ? Wipe dalvick 4 times , format/system when it comes flashing a zip
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
And do a data factory wipe?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
*Laptop (sorry I had to)
When flashing a new ROM:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Under advanced:
wipe dalvik cache
4. under mounts and storage: format /system
For any mods or kernels and such follow the directions from where it was posted.
I have never done multiple wipes of any of those I listed just once each. To be on the safe side if the ROMS creator says to I would follow their directions.
Oh and when you download a ROM on your phone I would recommend only doing it with WiFi. It just ensures a more stable connection I feel like. No matter how you download it tho check the MD5 sum. Android file verification is a great free app to do it right on your phone. Winmd5summer is a good free one for Windows.

Thanks JBO 1018 REALLY!!!!! I NEEDED that break down. Ok when downloading to phone i will use my mifi 4g and my USB phone won't work in my lab top sometimes it won't read, so can i use my sd card reader to put the rom on the sd card that way?

I know what you might be thinking, he is asking a dumb question. Just hear me out. I obtained root using superoneclick 2.2. I then flashed the terra silent kernal to get CWM, I rebooted through CWM without backing anything up, yeah I know I made a mistake and I am upset about it, but to add insult to injury I preformed factory reset out of panic after that. Fortunately my device did not brick, but all the apps that were not bloatware were gone, some that were bloatware were gone like google play. I lost superuser as well. I thought that I would have to reroot, I tried that, but superoneclick said I was already rooted, I continued with the root anyways, it made no signifigant difference, I then found a way to download the superuser apk off of the internet, but it would not install. I then downloaded romtoolbox lite and ran root browser, I then came across the superuser apk and install in successfully and thus have superuser permissions. I had backed up my nand through CWM before successfully reinstalling superuser. But after I reinstalled it successfully and obtained root, I backed it up again. My question is, is it safe to flash custom roms like CM7 onto my device? As far as I know everything that I have reinstalled that were bloatware seem to be working ok. The only thing that does not work is the sound (not the speakers or the audio jack, the sound that can go into silent mode.) although I think that it may be due to the voodoo sound files that come with the terra silent kernel. If you need me to give you more information, I will try my best to provide it, but I am quite new to this sort of thing and I would rather just have my friend who has more expirience than I do at this look over it for me and what not, however he has only worked with htc as far as I know and it has been a while since he has done that. So, I will be more than happy to try and provide more info if needed. I am just skeptical on the matter since my device has been through alot.

Which player do you have? But yeah you can flash custom Roms on you player with CWM.
Here's a quick video on it around the 2 min mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aajKlCbemAs
Doing a factory reset erases all apps you've downloaded and not bloatware. That's why you back up before so you can restore your apps or settings later I use Titanium Back up https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en with the key. It's definetly worth it and normally the backups are a lot smaller and you get to choose what you want to back up and restore.
Also, if you want Superuser, you can get it on the playstore.
I have superuser, but I did not backup tgrough CWM before I rebooted through CWM. My friend I mentioned in my earlier posts saud that it would work. I have a 4.0 US and I think when I preformed factory reset, it only got what was on the custom kernel I had on instead of the stock. I got superuser through blackmart alpha b/c google play was removed from my device.
Sent from my YP-G1 using xda app-developers app
well yeah, as long as the ROM is for 4.0 you should be good.

You can get playstore here http://goo.im/gapps/
You sure? Because I rebooted through cwm without backing up my nandvthe first time I opened it, will that cause problems even though I gained root and have superuser working? I also preformed factiry reset with terra silent kernel installed. What will that do?

Also google search box bloatware keeps failing (I think trying to root when my device was already rooted did that. How do I get rid of it?

Here's a video that talks about roms and kernels http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF01lhfUwfk&feature=youtube_gdata_player but really kernels aren't bad only if you flashed one that isn't compatible to your player which.if you do it could brick it.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
So it should be ok to install custom roms even though I rebooted w/o backing up my nand and then preforming factory reset with a custom kernel installed? I will probably have my friend show me how to flash custom roms, but is there a stock kernel I could flash back to through odin? Also does the kernel reponsible for managing bloatware? Because that would explain why some of my apps like google play were gone. I just do not want to make anymore stupid errors that could ruin my player, as I worked for every penny to buy it.

You should be ok even if you don't do a back up. Stock kernel and rom should be around the forums and bloatware is affected by the rom. Maybe you erased a system app and didn't reboot? that's usually why I get those messages. But seriously its hard to brick your player it could happen but as long as your careful you should be good. If your friends how to do it then he should show you that way you have a better understanding. And doing backups are mainly for after you flash something because you're most likely going to do a factory reset (erase user apps not preinatalled apps from rom) and so you can restore user apps with saved settings and progress. You could go without, but you're going to have to start from scratch which sucks! Byt good luck!

My friend looked my device over and told me that I would be ok. And that rebooting unistalls all google based app or something like that (He also told me that he should have told me that before I even accessed CWM. My googlesearchbox app kept failing and since I just use google as my browser homepage, I just deleted it using a no bloatware app. My friend said that rebooting through CWM without backing anything up and then preforming factory reset with a custom kernel installed would not do anything that could potentially ruin my player, I will soon have him show me how to use CWM to flash a custom rom and all that jazz

I all that happened when I rebooted through CWM without backing up my nand and then rebooting and then after that did was delete all of my google based apps (including bloatwarle) as well as all the apps I installed myself?

I backed up my system and my apps through titanium, does that mean that everything (including all the data on my sdcard) is backed up?

I also deleted the googlesearchbox apk.
Sent from my YP-G1 using xda app-developers app
It's saved on your internal memory which wont be erased but yeah once it's backed up as long as you backed up both apps with data you're fullyy backed up. your sd card is only touched to read and install you rom anything there is no touched.
So if I was to flash a custom rom, all the stuff on my sd card would be safe? And is it ok that I deleted the googlesearchbox apk?
Sent from my YP-G1 using xda app-developers app
Everything on your micro sd are safe. And it's ok to erase google search, I erase it too

Ok, so I tried to install google Play again by installing the apk, but it needed something else too, since the app was crashing alot, I could not get rid of it, I then saw that my internet browser was gone off of the bottom bar, I then tried to preform factory reset, I was terrified, but but I restored a backup nand through CWM. My question is, since I restored a backup, everything should be ok? And how do I get Google Play back?
Sent from my YP-G1 using xda app-developers app
The link for google apps from the link should be like your android version so if you have gingerbread look for the ones with GB. When you restore it will put it back to the state it was when you backed it up.

So basically I can't install apk files on my phone. It's a recent issue since I switched over to the newest fj stock mod rom. I download an .apk, I put it on my phone but when I click on it to install it, the option to install it won't respond. I can click cancel. but I can't click install... I can't seem to figure out why it won't do it, and I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm not getting...
This exact thing happened to me.. The ONlY way to fix it is to flash new roms sorry
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
That is not the only way to fix it. You can put the apk in the data/app folder and reboot and it should install. You do have unknown sources checked right?

Yeah, I have that option checked. I'll try moving them there and see if that works.

It didn't work when I put them in that folder and rebooted. What did work was turning off JuiceDefender and then trying to install them. Not sure why but turning it off made things install. Whatever... lol

assuming you flash roms as a solution, would you have a few backups?

As rquiett mentioned.....put the app into the data/app folder via any good root explorer app, then reboot.
The apk can also be placed into the system/app folder for the same outcome. the major difference here, is the device now sees the apk as a system app, and will not be removable via traditional methods like a user app. It would need removal by the root explorer app that placed it there.
Flashing "the same" build to get an app, is generally not needed, however, I have used this method many times over the years after I removed a system app I needed back.
You can simply flash the "same" rom over the top of the existing rom, and the pre-loaded rom apps are back.
Note: you must wipe the caches after using this method, or data corruption could occur. "cache and dalvik cache"
Long story short:
Root explorer app to place into data/app......or system/app
and if you are feeling adventurous....then flash the "same" base build over the top of your current build, then wipe caches and reboot.
Standard disclaimers apply....g

i tried looking on how to uninstall my crom but only found how to do it for install of stock roms
im currently running Jelly Beans for the Verizon Galaxy S3 and im wanting something that actually UPDATES XD
so im currently downloading CM11, but i dont remember how to uninstall my rom
would i need to just factory reset and wipe the 3 caches or just dalvic?
sorry for noob post
Crom? Guessing a spelling error
I assume you have a custom recovery like clockwork? If so this should be your steps
Download cm11 + gapps and put on root of sdcard (not in any folders)
Boot to recovery
Make a nandroid backup
Wipe all you can
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Reboot
Profit

OF COURSE. i go to add CM 11 and i get an error 7 even though im using the Verizon S3 rom file. and now i cant mount my SD card so im scared to turn my phone off
May have been a bad download, check the md5sum
Also make sure you have the newest recovery as KitKat changed a few things
Or simply try a jelly bean rom

im using twrp 2.4.3.0 but i have no way connecting my sd card now. its not working within recovery and my old phone isnt connecting either
best part is i made a nandroid, but cant restore because i JUST lost the sd card
In the file manager from twrp can you see your SD or does it refuse to mount?
You can always go to advanced settings and use adb sideload to install
adb sideload nameofrom.zip
adb sideload gapps.zip

ok i got cyanogenmod 10.2 to work but not something is weird with my LED notification,its not longer blue, its a mix of colors but basically its white, how do i change it back> i dont see anything in the settings
Well I believe you need twrp 2.6.x for SELinux support so no KitKat Roms for now, but you should be happy with 10.2
As for your led question I don't have your phone nor have I used a cm ROM in a long time so I can't answer for sure if there is a setting. But I would assume there is. If you can't find it there are apps in the market that may help, back when I believe I used one called lightflow or something on an old phone, try that or ask in the ROM specific thread as a user there would know better than I
Glad all is working
