Hello,
I have an old i9100 (international) with the original stock rom (android 4.1.2 Jellybean) and I want to upgrade to Lineage os 14.
First I tried to install twrp using heimdall, but the recovery mode is still using the stock one. Searching in the forum, I saw that first I need to change the kernel to one "isorec compatible" and I'm stuck in this step. I have never changed the kernel of an smartphone before, I don't know how can I do this and what kernel I can use to successfully install twrp.
I know there's a lot of links teaching how to do this, but this is one of my problems. Most of then have dead/missing links to download, or they presume I've already flash something to continue.
So I would like do ask if someone can show me a simple way to make my phone isorec compatible, so I can install twrp a lineageos?
Thank you!

hello,
Thanks for the links.
I've tried to flash with this tutorial, but I get this error when I load philz:
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
And the OP doesn't seems to know why either.
Is anyone know another good tutorial? I'm actually only need help to replace my stock recovery with twrp, once I get this, install any other rom is going to be easy.
Thank you very much!

It worked!
I install twrp using this tutorial, but I still can't install lineageos, when I try to patch it says that can't mount /system and stucks near the end of the process.
Do you know if I'm missing something?
Thank you.

Hello guys,
I am experienced in flashing roms and whatever... I already did this hundreds of times with a Galaxy S, Asus Transformer and now with my Galaxy Nexus.
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3G+wifi). I tried to install CM9 but it didn't work. And man... I really tried a loooot!!!
Well... now I am trying to use the regular stock rom in my Galaxy Tab and everytime the screen turns itself off and I turn it on again, it flickers!!! It's VERY annoying since I have to turn off the tablet to be able to use it again.
I have a nandroid backup and I restored it, but it didn't work... it still flickers!!! =P
I also tried to flash some recovery files: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2487 like you guys recommended in some other posts.
But it didn't work, too.
Guys... I am getting a little desperate in here... I have been searching for an answer for this for days.
Can anyone help me, please?
Have you tried to use ODIN to flash back to stock?

Hello 9xnine, thank you for your reply. Unhappily I don't have a stock rom (and it seems there's none available - Brazil's model).
Anyway restoring a nandroid backup (like I did) would be the same than flash a stock rom back, right?
Theoretically yes but I often find that Nandroid's won't work for a number of reasons. ODIN is and always has been my friend.
Try this. Looks like the ZVV build is for Brazil

Flash by Odin rom from this link:http://www.hotfile.com/dl/145473375/7dd41d4/P7510UEKMP_P7510XABKMP_XAB.zip.html
This is a rom for 7510 but it works with 7500. Then you have to upload the latest CWM and CM9.
For me it works.
The method described in this issue.

THANKS MAN!!!! IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!!! THANK SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!:highfive:
Hey XDA !
I've just installed the 4.0.4 ROM from Free (French operator), and I'd like to root it. I tried to with the non-PC solution, but it failed (no service). I learned that I had luck that my phone didn't brick. So, I'd like to know how to root it, and install CM10 on it (I tried to install CM10 too, but I had a keyboard issue on every ROM, and I don't think it came from the ROM itself).
So, how do I do it ?
Thanks
iSteelZ
flash siyah 4.1.5 kernal to give you dual boot cqapability then follow instructions in the cm 10.
there are numerious threads on dual booting in this forum.
Do I have to keep dual boot ? Can't I just have CM10 ?

Yes.
Just flash the kernel then factory wipe and install your rom via recovery.
This is same process as any other flash, these "how do I flash" threads are silly and have no purpose as they already exist in abundance if you would look and read stickies/guides etc.
I know it must be very boring to always see posts like mine, but I already bricked my phone, I don't know how, and I don't find any topic on how to install it, only on Galaxy Note.
And my version is the LQ2, not the LQ6 (this is my modem).

Not only boring, but it's against the rules, because if you search a bit better there actually are guides for rooting, also via google if you can't find them on xda.

You are right, I looked on google for Siyah Kernel and I found the right one.
Sorry

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 ?

Thanks guyz, Flashed POUND ROM. Just what to know why people speak about dorimax or Gustavo's kernel. Can I flash a kernel without using PC ? Also one more thing since now I have CWM 6.0.4.5 Can I flash any Kitkat ROM ?

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:
I Get a notification about the update to version 4.4 BETA 1 of Paranoid Android rom, after downloaded, i flash it via CWM normaly, then flash gapps, but when the phone reboot it stucked at the Galaxy S2 boot logo, and it can boot into recovery, only download mode, but when i open odin to flash CWM but odin can't access the phone and i can't flash, i tried to install usb driver but not success, so what can i do now, please help!
Sorry for my bad English
1) Your English is better than a lot of native English speakers I know.
2) Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General has all the info you need to get a successful Odin flash. Find the thread, try as many of the troubleshooting steps as many times as you need to in order to get a successful flash.
However, don't try one or two things from the thread, come back here & say 'But I tried some of the stuff in the thread & it didn't work. That thread covers this issue from every possible angle, and it's often persistence that fixes these. There's no easy fix in this situation because we're not there looking over your shoulder seeing what you're doing/not doing, and there's nothing which isn't in the thread that can be suggested in this situation.
So...I've (and Hopper has) given you the tools to get your phone fixed, up to you to fix it now.
@nguyenducanh did you manage to fix this?
I have been speaking with the dev (ayysir) of ParanoidAndroid, 4.4beta1 for S2 had a bug with the kernel. The ROM wouldn't boot at all with the stock kernel, but would with any compatible custom kernel (Dorimanx, Gustavo, Apolo -correct versions of these).
The dev has uploaded a new build now which fixes the problem, so if you've managed to recover your phone the new build is safe to use (tested by me)

Good job, I like to hear that someone recovered their phone using that guide and odin :good: make sure you re-download the ROM, you need the build on 0605, not 0604. 0604 is busted, but 0605 is good

That's because of the new theme engine... I saw something on google+ about that. I think it's planned to be re-implemented but may take a while due to complexity..

Sorry in advance as I'm sure the answer is here somewhere but I cant manage to find it.
I just got a used Note 2 with an unlocked bootloader.
It is currently on SR Remix 4.3 and I'm wondering what I have to do (if anything) to be able to flash 4.4 aosp roms?
I saw something about using the latest recovery and I also thought I saw something about updating the baseband too but now I cant find it again
I've always had moto phones but with that being said I understand what odin is and helped my cousin flash a couple roms on his s3 before.
Any help is greatly appreciated. The last thing i want to do is brick my new phone haha
EDIT: My baseband is MJ9. Probably should have mentioned that

You need the latest cwr or twrp. Then you wipe, flash rom, flash latest gapps and then reboot.
