If you flash a non-wipe ROM over another ROM then there is a risk of getting errors such as "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" or looping errors. One way to fix this problem is to flash a full wipe ROM before flashing the non-wipe ROM you are interested in.
For example if you want to flash the UK XLP4 ROM which is non-wipe over the German XLPY ROM then you can first flash the full wipe XKL8 GB ROM then flash the XLP4 ROM which should work OK.
I discovered this the hard way and thought I had bricked my phone with the errors after flashing non-wipe ROMS.
I hope this information helps others and if it does then click the Thanks.

It is advised to flash an Official ROM prior to flashing another Custom ROM.
So my question is do we need to hard-reset after flashing a Official ROM over an existing Custom ROM?
Or we can flash the Official ROM and immediately flash a new Custom ROM over it?
i didnt hard reset when i did min f the first time...and im still using it and it works like a charm. but its probably a good idea to hard reset.
Hard-Resetting everytime for a 1.61 ROM is a pain, take two boots the first time and again two boots after the hard-reset. Then again hard-reset after flashing the Custom ROM.
flash the rom and then immediately flash the kernel on the the tab before booting the new rom for the first time or should you let the rom boot up before flashing the new kernel onto the tabby.
Nobody? Does it make a difference?
I normally just wipe everything before flashing kernel.
I have been flashing the kernel right after the rom without any problems. Yes when installing a new rom I wipe everything as stated above.
When flashing a new kernel I have not wiped anything.

okay maybe you've answered this but i'm noting getting it i know how to install the kernel and rom but my question is you when you install your rom do you need to let that new rom boot up first and configure itself or after the rom says it's finish installing can i just instantly wipe the cache again and install the kernel before i even boot the rom up for the first time.
On flashing a Custom Rom, my phone gets stucked with continous FC ("Unfortunately Phone Crashed","Press OK") just after the phone boots.
I had faced the same problem earlier so someone on XDA suggested to use twrp recovery. Then i flashed the purity rom and it worked fine, but then as you may know now, as PA is out, so flashed it and again i'm getting continuous fc error....
currently i'm using purity rom, stock kernel and twrp recovery (2.6.3.3)
I would flash back to a stock 4.2.2 and start over. I find that this is the only way I can install certain roms.

Strange. Are you updating the bootloader and radio before flashing a 4.4 rom?
Are you doing a factory reset???? And flashing a proper gapps after ROM? You should always do this when going from one ROM to another. Sometimes a manual format of /system is necessary also.
no i am not updating my bootloader and radio before flashing (rather didn't know if i had to update them,fyi i bought my nexus 4 this september)....and yes i'm doing a factory reset (using the wipe option in twrp recovery which warns clearing of data, cache and dalvik memory)
Hi,
My Sprint Note 3phone is currently using a Kitkat ROM and TWR recovery. I tried some Lollipop ROMS. After flash the ROM, the phone boot to the page of Android setting, then the UI crashed and the phone reboot, showing Modem error.
Anyone has similar experience or have any idea why this happen? Thanks a lot.
First try wiping all data , cache, dalvik cache and others.
Then install fresh lollipop stock rom from sammobile.com of your phone model and then try to flash it via ODIN rather than through TWRP.
There are many guides on flashing lollipop roms, just read them you'll get it.?✌
Hi guys,

also repartition didnt help
all of these roms get me bootlooped, I can only flash CM rom and its fully functional
what to do?
After flashing your official stock rom via odin, go to Recovery and wipe cache and data/factory reset.
