wiping those things do not remove the rom! do you have stock nandroid backup? if not, use odin to flash stock firmware

Use torrent like kat.ph
And browse for android application or use
Getjar or just google the app
Or just download the play store and flash it through recovery

If you have Samsung Kies installed there's an option for emergency recovery, and that's gonna restore your device to its original state. But beware that it also erases everything you've put on your phone.

If wipping didn't work. Maybe you should go back to stock.
Then you can try Hyperion again or maybe another rom. Search the Doky73's stock firmware collection thread to get an Odin flashable stock rom for your device.
Good luck :good:
Don't worry all you need to do is flash stock rom using Odin the info you need is here

If you got stuck on logo, just flash your phone to stock ROM using Odin, you can use search feature and write on there, at GT-S5360 dev forum for file stockrom and other tools
And if you want to using custom rom again, read first about changelog at page customROM before you flashing

Settings file is deleted?

Hello! I rooted my S4 today and installed the CWM recovery and flashed my new rom which is the Foxhound 2.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303239. I have had my older device rooted and i have flashed couple roms with it (huawei ideos x5) and i didn't want to lose all my files and apps from my S4 while flashing this rom, so i didn't do the factory reset thing. I wiped my cache and dalvik cache and then i flashed my rom. As soon as i got it working i was hyped and so on but i noticed that the Settings app was missing. I looked via root explorer and it wasn't in the folder /system/app/. I looked from the magical internet and didn't find anything. Nothing at all. I tried installing some setting.apk's but none of them worked. I downloaded the stock android 4.2.2 rom and copied the settings.apk from there but no, it didn't do anything. I tried also installing those setting apk's but it says 'app not installed'. I had my backup of the android 4.2.2 in my phone but when i tried to restore it to my phone, it said something about m5 sum thing or what it was i don't remember. If you have any clue, please help. I'm lost and i need guidance.
Sorry if there is some bad English, i'm from Finland.
In cwm restore settings, uncheck the check md5 sum. It should then let you restore the nandroid
I messed it up

Download Odin ver 3.07. Download firmware for your device from sammobile.com. It'll be a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that file in Odin, PDA slot. Only have auto-reboot checked in odin.

It looks like firmware ending in mga is what you need. Sammobile doesn't have firmware for Finland so I'd look for another counties which has the last three characters as mga.

You're not going to be able to back up your apps if you can't boot into your phone. They will be gone when you flash the stock firmware.

[Q] newbie question ! customer recovery for 4.4.2?

Hey guys,
I know this is kind of answered in alot of different places but nothing is guiding me to the correct files, just want to be safe and figured this was the best place to make sure i hit the bullseye.
Just updated to poland 4.4.2 kitkat and was looking to install a customer recovery so i could grab the latest version of xnote and a few other goodies. Could someone please guide me to a download section/link for cwm? or maybe twrp? which ever would work easiest

A300FU 5.0.2 ROM as flashable zip?

Hi there,
Is there a way to flash any kind of working 5.0.2 ROM on my A300FU without ODIN? Somehow I managed to erase the OS without backing it up first.. (I know.. i know...)
I don't want to reflash the whole thing again... Root, install TWRP and so on...
Thanks a lot!
Never mind that... An admin can delete this thread.
Reflashed latest Lollipop from Sammobile, re-rooted, and also updated TWRP to latest version.
Let the CM12.1 come!
