Need some Help

HI all i foolw every step of AlphaRev X: mod successfully patched my phone than follow this guide Via PC49IMG Process successfully.
my questions are as follows.
1. thats all i need to done before flashing a custom rom..?
2. After flashing a custom rom if wanna go back to stock one is it possible to do that if yes than how??
3. While using a patched phone or custom rom os phone is it safe to restore phone to factory defaluts??
Please answer ASAP...

1) Yes
2) To the Stock ROM Yes, it is possible. But, not completely stock, as in, your S-OFF will still be S-OFF.
3) I wouldn't recommend it. There seems to be issues with many users with many aspects when they are factory resetting after getting S-OFF / Custom Recovery.

I wouldn't recommend it. There seems to be issues with many users with many aspects when they are factory resetting after getting S-OFF / Custom Recovery.
what types of issue can u plz provide me some details??
how to flash the stock ROM??
Please suggest any best good rom to flash yaar?

It seems Wallpapers go missing, Settings dont work, Widgets dont work, stuff like that. There was a thread here somewhere, seems to be lost.
For ROMs, it depends whether you need Sense or not. If you are fine without Sense, take a look at Cyanogenmod 7, and, if you need Sense, take a look at ROMs like JokerDroid and WildPuzzle.
A Complete list can be found here: (Part 2)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
To restore to Stock ROM, simply select a safe flash RUU from Part 5 of the same post, and flash it, the ROM will be restored to stock. Alternately, take a Nandroid backup of your Stock ROM, and restore it later, which will again give you back your Stock ROM

I'm also using cm7. I haven't really faced any major bugs. Most of them are not bugs really. Only thing maybe is gps issue which will be fixed by reflashing the radio.
Reg., themes yes u can have theme chooser themes. And u can use theme Chooser application in the app drawer to apply it.

Most ROMS have instructions in the first post but basically you need to:
0)Backup everything (installing a custom ROM requires that you factory reset your phone)
1)Root your phone. Since this is your first time installing a custom ROM (search the forum for rooting methods)
2)Install ClockWorkMod (CWM). You can keep a backup of your previous recovery if you want.
3)Download the zip of the ROM you want to install on your SD card.
4)Reboot your phone in recovery
5)Do wipes / install as instructed in the ROM you choose
quoting from the aurora ROM for the u8800 Pro...
INSTALLATION
Boot into recovery (5.0.2.7 for U8800 pro )
You should have Clockworkmod version 5.0.2.7 installed, in order to install clockworkmod you should first root your phone
Wwipe data / factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Boot in recovery (ClockWorkMod) and do the wipes as instructed
Mounts and storage and format system
From ClockworkMod
Install zip from sd card
From ClockworkMod
Choose aurora_2.0_u8800pro.zip
From ClockworkMod
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extra info...
*)Custom roms are rooted so you don't need to do step 1 next time
*)ClockworkMod will not get deleted/altered by a custom ROM unless you want to update it
*)Usually you don't need to do all wipes if you update the same ROM (always read instructions)

I totally agree with you there are instructions for every rom... i haven't installed any rom to u8800pro but for u8800 i can asure that there are guides everywhere step by step, instructions to any rom on how to install them, etc.
If the rooting tutorial that you have found does not work properly as it should on your device you should look for another, and you might find it. not a very good help just an opinion and was trying to make sure you won't give up next time because you can't find a proper guide take care

[Q] Cant Install Hyperion

Okay just rooted my phone yesterday, I have try all the ROMs from Jellyblast v3 to any ROM I can find on the developer page but my phone failed to install any of the ROM! So the thing is I love the Hyperion ROM but I cant install it on my newly rooted SGY, So do I need to root my phone again / Download Hyperion ROM again (Already tried three time) / Format my SD Card ? / Unroot then root again my phone? Hopefully someone can help me figure this thing

Flash your phone to base DXLF1 and try installing Hyperion from there. if you still have trouble installing the ROM, try flashing DXLF1 then install EVO-X2.1 then Hyperion (that's what I did)
also you don't need a pre-rooted phone. installation of Hyperion automatically roots your phone. and if you did a fresh flash and haven't booted up your phone (after Odin flashing, immediately booted to Recovery then CWM Recovery) then you don't have to do a data reset or cache wipe, your phone after flashing stock rom is already as good as wiped and reset.
and you can flash Hyperion from either CWM or Stock Recovery. but the flashing of EVO-X2.1 requires CWM. I forgot if EVO needs root, but you can check that out on the developers page (too lazy to add link )

first flash stock dxlf
then if youre succesfull go to stock rom home screen
reboot recovery clear data factory reset and cache on stock recovery
then apply root update.zip (file you need to root ur phone)
next open cwm clear data and cache again
after that install hyperion then donot reboot and donot apply any update (must be later after succes install)
clear data and cache again in cwm
then reboot recovery clear data and cache again
then reboot wait for a while
thats my step and now im using hyperion smoothly

go dig in that thread, you should find it eventually. also you need to know how to use Odin flasher, but that's already included in the guide.

you may immediately flash to DXLF1. just go to download mode without doing anything. Like I said, flashing stock roms is as good as getting your phone right from the factory.
after flashing to DXLF1 you may retry flashing Hyperion. if that doesn't work, then refer to my previous post on what I did.

you should wipe data wipe cache wipe dalvik cache as it can cause bootloop then try to install it again and for flashing rom you do not need root access .
press thank if I helped you

urgent! stuck on splash!

hey all,
so i am incredibly new to this scene and just recieved my s4. i was preparing to flash a ROM onto my phone, and got it rooted and installed CWM.
I forgot to download the actual ROM zip file, and went into CWM via goo manager, wiped factory/data and cache. It was only AFTER i wiped everything that i realised i didnt download the ROM zip file, so i rebooted the phone and now it is stuck on the start-up splash screen where it displays "Samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9505" and will not continue :crying:
I was running on stock, and had only rooted the phone.
PLEASE i urgently need to fix this ASAP. Help!

Hi,
is there a Odin Version of the Rom you tried to flash? If yes, you could simply bring your device to download-mode and flash the Rom with Odin.
Alternatively search for a odin flashable Recovery and flash this first. Then you could boot to recovery and flash the zip of the Rom.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

i tried installing the liquid smooth rom, and from what i can see there is no odin version of the rom :\
Are you able to direct me to an Odin flashable recovery I can use?
im really stressing out about this
i'm in the process of downloading a stock firmware and will try to flash it on, but it's taking forever to download

I don't see why you can't boot again if you have only wiped the user data and cache, just press the home button for 10 seconds and see if it restarts with your reset stock firmware. Otherwise you can reboot into recovery and do the wipes again (not the option to install a new ROM), or put the ROM zip you want to flash on an SD card and then flash from the SD.
I hope this helps.

You should of made a backup with CWM. That's what it's used for also, besides flashing .zips. Always make a backup that you can restore and keep an extra copy on ur computer and/or a usb drive.

You have to use Odin to flash a stock firmware from Sammobile website. Make sure you download the correct firmware for your phone.
Dont worry, your phone isn't brick.

when i first did the wipe, i chose the option that i was going to install a new ROM. I'm now assuming that's where i made a mistake.
I did make a backup before i wiped everything onto my SD card, but now i can't even access that backup because it's saying there's nothing.
I've tried flashing a ROM onto it, but it says aborted.

Yes SORF ist right. It should boot into resetted stock firmware.
First try to copy the Rom to SD and then boot to recovery an try flashing it.
If booting to recovery doesn't work (but it should work if you just wiped user data and cache) you should try flashing new recovery with odin.
You could use Philz recovery for GT-I9505 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
Installation Instructions for installation with odin you find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39433857&postcount=4

Thanks, that's what I'm doing right now, but the file is about 1.8GB and taking so long to download...
i wish there was a faster server, but this is the only option i could find :\

Have you tried to boot into recovery again and then flash your already downloaded rom from sd? So you don't have to download a complete sammy rom.

yes i have tried that, and it says that install aborts.
Also when i re-wipe everything and then try to reboot, it says my device is missing root.
When i try to re-root, and the device reboots, it gets stuck on the intro screen again so the root doesn't actually complete installing

have you fixed it yet?

so im going to try a different ROM other than the liquid smoothe one i wanted (since it keeps saying aborted)
question: does it matter if i use ANY s4 ROM regardless of carrier? I'm from Australia and there is no specific carrier for my phone on xda

Why does it fails to install? Are there any more error messages?
Also you can try the point "Fix Permissions" under Advanced Options. This could help.

try something lite like miui - it will save you time on download and is a good solid base to work from. dont flash the lite gapps without a reboot.
for a solid Sami based rom then i suggest using GoldenEye.

ok so i went ahead and found the cyanogenmod one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317040
and installed this and it works
though i dont like the look of this ROM lol, i prefer something a little more stock looking.
Any recommendations?
When reflashing a new ROM, what is the process i need to follow?

Cyanogenmod is themeable. So you could search for a stock like theme and install that.
If you like an overall more stock rom try scottyf79's recommendation.
If you want to flash a complete new Rom first copy zip onto sd, then boot into recovery, wipe data and cache, then falsh zip file.

Try the Omega Roms. They are close to stock.
Closest to stock are the prerooted DJembey ROMs (the CWM ones) or the Wanam Lite ROM (it's what I am on now)

personally -
i use Philz recovery
before install of a new rom - i use the "new rom" wipe option rather than the normal data,cache and dalvik wipe (it does this but adds in some extra steps)
then flash the rom of choice
if you get any other messages before reboot - select no
like i said before, if you want a stock looking Sami rom then try Golden Eye.

Generally for installing custom rom this steps should help
Wipe data and cache
Mount system data cache
Flash zip
Reboot
For firmware use where you live from

all roms here work fine
make sure you format system data cache then mount system data cache in cwm before flashing the rom zip
you also need to be on the correct file system and kernel depending on rom - eg stock based kernels for stock based rom and ext file system and a cm kerenl for cm based roms
