Flashing New Rom (Solved) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I am having trouble flashing a new rom onto my phone. I used to flash my Galaxy S3 almost every day, and for some reason, I am having trouble with the S4. I have rooted it, and installed Team Win Recovery Project v2.5.0.2 and sometimes the Rom will flash and work, like PA worked first time, so did MIUI Rom, but trying Most of the others they either say failed, or... they go through the whole installation process through the Recovery for Android Revolution HD, and then it boot loops, take battery out, put back in and wipe everything and it just stays on the first Samsung Logo and that's it.
Is there something I am missing?
I am wiping eveyrthing as well before I do it.
Any help will be really appretiated
Thanks

My bad lol, in work and was typing fast.
Basically, when I flashed ParanoidAndroid on my phone, and it worked great, then I changed it to MIUI which worked great,
then I decided to Flash Omega Rom, which was fine, but the WIFI doesn't work for me.
So I tried to Flash Android Revolution and it goes through the Installation Process with no problems and goes into Boot Loop, even though I have done a full wipe of the device.
I am in the middle of Flashing Android Revolution now, for the 3rd time, and it has been on 10% installation for 10 minutes. This is all it says at the moment...
===========================
Android Revolution HD by mike1986
===========================
>>>Formatting partitions
(system is unmounted already)
(preload is unmounted already)
-- that's it --

Sorted, thanks anyway.
Just incase someone else is in the same situation,
All I did was take the battery out for 30 minutes or around that time, and just flash the rom, I didn't wipe or anything else, just flashed and done.
For people having Wifi issues, flash a different Kernel like Adam Kernel, that seems to work for me.

i'm sorry i don't think i can help you since you do not know your version. cos different version have different framework-res.apk. and that's why your tab won't boot up because probably you've replaced the framework-res.apk from some other firmware that's not compatible with your firmware. I'm guessing you'll have to reflash some other rom using odin. next time remember to backup before you replace any system files.

take a look at the android dev section. there's a bible for roms there.
any of the gsm roms will work just fine
Oops meant to start a thread.
I didnt want to start a new topic about this.
I have normal galaxy tab GT-91000 and it appears theres no way to get a recovery for it. The galaxy tab is so different from my backflip. I have an unlocked boot loader. I really want to delete all those bloat ware apps. Is there a recovery that supports unlocked tablets?
I have tried to do factory reset by pressing volume up and power button and selected wipeout/factory reset button by selecting home button. After this screen i am getting ! mark in the triangle along with android mascot but then nothing happens. I waited till half hour but still the same screen. So do i need to flash manually

More information please

Saranhai is right. It sounds like a kernel issue. If you give us more info we can recommend kernels that you can flash.
sorry guys
rooted? yes

Ok. MIUI is an alteration of AOSP. So, an AOSP compatible kernel is what you would want. However, LanternsLight puts out good MIUI ROMs. Unless its a known issue, I doubt its the ROM. Did you format your system partition before flashing?
Edit: Just spent a few minutes reading through the thread. No one else has reported this as far as I can tell. If you didn't format /system before you flashed, reflash using the instructions in the OP of the thread in the dev section. If you did, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash. If neither of those works, try TDJ's AOSP kernel, but there is nothing wrong with the Tiamat kernel, so I doubt that's it.
OK update i dont have any idea why this isnt working but i cleared the sd card,ran the rom install again followed the directions completely and my hotspot and wifi will bootloop my phone im at a loss of swear words already. should i take a hammer to it or not
Did you try a fresh download?
yes as stated i completely cleaned the sd card and redownloaded multiple roms and none will allow me to use wifi or hotspot the hotspot will error and the wifi will bootloop every single time
What Roms did you try?
what you can find in the recent rom section i tried i think it has to do with the phone or something im lost im frustrated im gonna flip out and smash this phone soon
Well, if you'be tried multiple ROMs with different kernels and did FULL wipes between them all, its probably hardware. I can't think of anything else it would be.
well all i did was change sd cards and thats it no more wifi and hotspot.....should i partition the sdcard i do remember seeing that in recovery does that affect the wifi n hotspot? if so what should it be partitioned at
Eeerm, partitioning the sd card is for moving apps over to external storage the pre-froyo way. It has nothing to do with hotspot functions. So your hotspot worked before, but crapped out when you changed as cards? That's really weird...
Does anyone else have any insight into this, because I'm at a loss?
Anyone out there?????? ANYONE
Try flashing the stock 2.2.1 or 2.3.4 rooted. Try if that works. If not, I too am at a loss. Maybe Jack_R1 is around lol

have you tried flashing the froyo pd15img to unroot and see if the problem persists? if not then i would do so and then report back... if the problem is still there then it seems to be a hw problem... if it is gone then it will be easy to reroot and be back in the game! just a little fyi though, if you want help then next time i would recommend providing us all the information! bootloader version, root method, rom, kernel, etc, etc, etc... you will more than likely get a more informed response and it shows that you actually put forth a bit of effort in helping us help you, rather than being the guy in my signature video! and as for your comment of this is the last day you are going to try to fix the phone, well it is your money that was spent on it, so by all means nuke the damn thing! but dont get angry cause we cant fix your device, we did nothing to it or you... take it to the store and let them mess with it or pay the deductible and get a new one... good luck on any note!

My Sincere Advice to all about ICS!

Hi. i hope every single Note owner and user here either would have just flashed to the latest official ics rom by now or would be thinking of flashing to this rom.
well i accept that i am not a tech master. but as i love to tinker with these tech gadgets alot and i keep on changing my roms just to check
here is just a minor addition to those who are somewhat COMPLETLY unaware of the flashing or are afraid to flash to this official rom especially after that article where it was advised not to flash the Leaked ICS Roms.
well i had the Chrack ROM v18 the GB rom and i downloaded this official rom. i thought to just flash to this official rom the XXLPY and i just did that. but what happened was i was stuck at the samsung logo. i got so tensed i thought my phone might have been bricked or something. (the actual reason was i was SUPER HYPER and SUPER EXCITED about the official ICS )
i then quickly flashed my phone again to XXKL3 stock gingerbread rom. the same issue remained. i was again stuck at the boot animation. i was again so worried
i then thought to check the recovery mode. i did that and that worked and God i was So relieved i cant tell u guys
then i just flashed the XXLPY simply using the odin and it was flashed in no time with no issues!
so here are my suggestion to those who want to flash this official rom:
1- if u currently have custom gingerbread rom, u BETTER first flash to stock ROM!
2- DONT panic like me while flashing is going on! it WILL take some time!
3- wipe the dalvik cache and u will be good to go!
4- it would be better to do a factory reset after the flashing is done.
i know almost everyone here would be knowing that all already but as i already said the reason of this post is not for the experts here! its for those who get confused and panic a lot while deciding or during the flashing! i hope moderators would let my thread stay here for the newbies

You could have just wiped and I bet you would have been out of the boot loop
If you hard brick, you won't even see the Samsung logo (ASK CHASMODO AS HE MUST BE HERE TOO SOMEWHERE ). As long as the logo is seen there is nothing to worry about.
curious.....was your first two 'flash' attempts via recovery or via odin?
I just flashed Alba coming from Stunner with no problems.....
Yeah all you needed to do was wipe in recovery after flashing

If you want to upgrade without rooting its fairly simple.
Assuming you have a STOCK ROM -
Just connect to PC Odin and Flash the update. Nothing else to be done.
Nothing at all.
The confusion starts the moment you want to update with root intact.

the first two attempts were using odin. i always flash stock roms using odin. i dont know if there is a method of flashing stock roms using recovery or whatever. and i am not that experienced like some of the guys like here but assuming i am a finance and accounts related person, i guess what i know about flashing and stuff like that is more than enough for me.... lol

[Noobs Guide] How to get "DN3 (Ditto Note 3)" ROM working in Samsung Galaxy Note 2

[Noobs Guide] How to get "DN3 (Ditto Note 3)" ROM working in Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Hi Everyone,
I just now finished installing the ROM successfully so i thought i would atleast make this small tutorial for others, thinking it might be helping them. You wouldn't believe me. I haven't slept the whole night (9hrz without gap) to get this ROM working in my note 2.
Now, a few things about my phone. Trust me, you will require this info because you will then understand what your phone and my phone is. So you could have a clear idea on how to start or where to start.

Phone : Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100
Android Version : 4.1.1 (Its the same version that i had since the time i bought the phone, i didn't update or anything.)
Rooted : NO
Recovery : STOCK
Firmware: Indian firmware (sorry, i don't remember the firmware name)
Click to expand...

Now, prerequisites...!
◘ A Samsung Galaxy Note II with definite 70% and above battery if you are a beginner.
◘ The data cable that is actually working when connected between phone & laptop.
◘ An external SD card with a minimum of 4 GB storage so that you can place the ROM to flash it through Recovery.
◘ DN3 (Ditto Note 3) ROM from E-team (Electron Team) downloaded & kept ready in your computer, because it's about 1.48 GB size.
[Important: See that the ROM is downloaded without any breaks. Check whether it is the "Download Success" or "Download Fail" in the Download Manager. If the ROM is not successfully downloaded & you continue to flash it into your Note 2. Then you are going to feel very bad (Trust me). So check it & only then be ready to start.]

I have one question.
I need to use obligatorily external SD card?
Or I can place to internal too?
All custom roms flashed via external SD ?
How is the battery drain in this rom? I tired quite a few 4.3 based roms and the battery drain was terrible. So I happily went back to 4.1.2 based rom with perseus kernel minimal ram usage and amazing battery life. So just wanted to know about the battery drain and whether it can be used with the perseus kernel?

answer : Yes, OBLIGATORILY external SD card
I say internal also can be used, but the operating manner then would be little complicated for which you might land up into a CONFUSED situation. So it's much better to do it through a SD card
Or I can place to internal too?
Answer : Yes, you can place ,but i told u right If u want it complicated, you may if you already have an idea about Philz touch recovery & etc, then, step up
All custom roms flashed via external SD ?
Answer : You see, most of the people actually try to follow the safe and secure way so they do the flash of ROM's from the External SD card
Now doubts clarified ?
If got any more :cyclops: , just lemme know
Your Doubts just got clarified WiTH SCREENSHOTS

Ok, I'm looking to do this myself, I'm on a i317 (at&t lte variant) and have found the ROM for that version. My question is, I was told that it would be "trickier" to flash the custom ROM because I have already updated my phone to 4.3 stock. Now I'm aware that flashing the custom ROM will now void my warranty, that is not my concern, my question is what will make it "trickier?" I was not able to receive a response from the person that said this, and now I'm just trying to gather info before attempting this.

I was under the same impression after I upgraded my N7105T (Australia - Telstra) to 4.3 as well.
The reality is that it is not trickier in the slightest. What did happen for me upon the initial flashing of the ROM from Philz recovery was that I was stuck on the initial boot logo until I pulled out the battery and restarted my phone in Philz recovery again. I then flashed the bootloader, thinking that was why it got stuck. After that, all went just fine after performing the installation/flashing again in Philz recovery. I performed a reboot into recovery after the install was completed, factory reset the handset and all was fine thereafter. I was able to restore my data as well as the majority of my apps. Some needed reinstallation, such as phone banking for obvious reasons but all in all, it was very much the painless process.
I'm really happy with it now. I just recently flashed it with the AGNi kernel as well, which was a nice improvement though I've changed from the zzmove battery profile to zzmove optimised profile to see if I still get any issues with apps slowing down to a grinding halt before needing a reboot of the handset to get it back up to speed again.

Was it absolutely necessary for you to quote my entire message when it had very little to do with your question? Please just use the reply button instead of the reply with quoting next time. It will clutter the forums a lot less.
As for your wife not working, I would suggest a divorce.
For the rest of the things you're seeking, I searched the forum and found everything I needed.
Sorry quoting yoi
Sorry I quoted your entire post.
If I had an answer, I won't border asking for help cos I still can't see how you have helped me with your post.
Thanks anyway
In searching through the forums and Google, I found only bootloaders for N7100. What I did find was recommendations to simply upgrade to the official Samsung 4.3 release using Kies and then following the installation procedure for DN3.
Not sure why I'm only seeing N7100 versions of the MJ5 bootloader but everything is smooth on my N7105T with the MK2 bootloader.

I'm really happy with it now. I just recently flashed it with the AGNi kernel as well, which was a nice improvement though I've changed from the zzmove battery profile to zzmove optimised profile to see if I still get any issues with apps slowing down to a grinding halt before needing a reboot of the handset to get it back up to speed again.

Thanks for the response, I ended up doing it and much like yourself, it went beautifully. I'm quite happy with it. I haven't really had any kernel issues so I'm hesitant to flash other ones unless they greatly improve something. Did you flash the the new kernel because of the app slowdown issue you were having? Or just to improve performance in general?
It was to beef up the phone's performance in terms of power consumption but that seemed to work against me.

The rom works like a charm, except for a gimmick: The WiFi is not working. Tried flashing a wifi patch and it worked, but then the camera stopped working. After hours trying to make the camera work, now it does but the wifi does not.
When I try turning the WiFi on it just switches off automatically. Also flashed Devil Kernel, Toooiiko (or something of the sorts) kernel, and they just made the problem worse by fixing the wifi but no camera AND no mobile network of any kind. :rolleyes
Any ideas/suggestions are more than welcome.

Hey Artstar,
I realize you don't like people quoting your entire posts so I thought I'd keep this one brief (not understanding 100% how XDA internals work, I wanted to make sure I got your attention by quoting you at least).
ANYWAYS
I have updated to 4.3 stock (vodafone) which turns out to be ML5 (from memory, phone is not working 100% right now).
Can I please ask (beg, lol) for a link to the bootloader you "flashed" to fix your problem? I've just:
1. updated to 4.3 stock
2. followed instructions on the DN3 V5 ROM install...
Now the first thing I've noticed is my phone won't detect my sim card :-/ So, into my old HTC my sim card goes! I need a phone for the morning, but would ideally like to have a note 2 with working DN3 rom... If you can help at all it would be GREATLY appreciated, as you said; I can't find a bootloader for the GT-N7105T... there are plenty for the other variants, but I really am having trouble finding one for ours.
This is very hopeful that my vodafone model is the same as your tesltra model based on the actual model number, but regardless I've got (and admittedly, I'm guessing a bit here) a dud bootloader installed and would greatly appreciate your input.
Thanks in advance mate, any help is much appreciated. I have searched the entire note 2 thread - perhaps my search skills are not up to scratch or perhaps there is no bootloader and I'm not understanding your instructions correctly.
Cheers!
Hi I am at official 4.3 jelly bean and my galaxy note2 GT N7100 is rooted and I want install ditto note 3 v5 rom on galaxy note 2 GT N7100 can you tell me proper steps from beginning how to install this rom on my phone

What do you mean by it just stays open. Do you mean it never boots? Like a bootloop? If so, search 7.0 ROMs bootloop, you'll find the solution, tons of threads on the help and q&a here. But if you don't mean what I just explained then could you clarify?
Sorry for not being clear, i dont think it is bootloop. It boots into the rom no issues and i can use it normally and doesn't restart till a few minutes no matter what rom i flash.

If I were you I would flash back to stock and make sure you you don't have a hardware problem, If nothing else it's a chance to start over. I haven't gone to custom roms for these reasons, mine is my daily driver to and I can't afford to get caught without it.

No worries. Yeah I don't know what the issue could be, could be a ROM issue, it's weird though, but like the poster above me, it could be hardware failure and flashing stock would be a good way to find out.
I would love to go back to stock but how? All the tutorials are very hard for me to follow can you guide me to an easy one or tell me how?

I agree that they are a little hard to follow, I looked at them myself and it looks like the quickest way would be to go back to 6.0 and upgrade back to 7. But someone else could correct me on that.
For future reference, it's best to always twrp backup your stock rom before doing any kind of major changes especially custom roms. That way you can always fall back to original if something goes wrong.

I would go back to stock 6.0, if he hasn't upgraded to 7.0, I'll do some digging, find good guides, and post them here in a bit @Philo0o!
Yeh before i started flashing roms i was on stock 6.0, thank you so much

I think I might also do a twrp backup of my 7.0 and make it public, but it will take me a couple of days before I can factory reset. There doesn't seem to be any stock 7.0 backups around on xda.

That's good news actually, there's a lot more stuff around for 6.0.

Alright if you wanna go the custom ROM route, don't update to stock 7.0, not many custom ROMs work with it's new firmware. I'll get you a guide to go back to stock 6.0 then!
Edit: Alright @Philo0o, here's a good page with all the firmware links for your phone, and the commands to flash the firmware are there for you. Let me know if you have any questions about that.
Also, when your ROMs aren't working, what are you doing to try again? what I mean is you could try a full data format in twrp. Not just a wipe of data, system, etc.. A full format isn't quite like going back to stock, but it may help if there are leftovers somewhere causing issues if that makes sense.
so if you wanna try a full format, backup your internal storage to a computer, or to an sd card, and then format, and then you will have a clean slate, move what you need back over to your phone and voila!
Ill look through that tutorial, and whenever i flash a rom i do a full a wipe

Alright, then yeah look through that tutorial. If the issue isn't there on stock, but is on custom ROMs, try asking in those threads
