1. I'm trying to flash any custom ROM.
2. I used to have TWRP and any time I was moving from another ROM I would do a factory rest and wipe data and everything goes fine.
3. I changed to CWM recovery last night ( Install by ROM Manager ) and tried to flash rom ( after do wipe data and factory reset ) it showed it was trying to flash the rom and went ok ( and also gapps too ).
4. I reboot the phone and it's stuck in the samsung logo and won't go through.
5. I tried to flash other ROM as CM, Pac , Carbon, and with all of them same issue.
6. I format everything in the mount section and still not able to go through because it won't flash anything.

Did you Loki doki after flashing the rom?

If said u format everything..then u had wipe all inside ur hp..
If u using samsung u need pit and odin..and also the rom..

You are still not giving enough information. Are you sure the ROM and Kernel were for AT&T or at least could be used on an AT&T phone? Was it already LOKI'd or did you use the LOKI-DOKI script directly after flashing the ROM / Kernel (and GAPPS if applicable) while still in recovery? The ROM Manager CWM version does not auto-loki, only OUDHS CWM auto-lokis.
Did you follow the flashing instruction in the ROM's thread exactly?
If you don't know or understand any part of what I am asking you, you will need to read all of the pinned threads in the "General" section to familiarize yourself with what you need to know.

As I said all of my problem was the CWM and I don't know why it won't be able to flash any zip file.
I was flashing CM 10.2 unofficial that day , no special kernel ( Just ROM ) and PA latest GApps.
But they didn't work and I went to ODIN and stock my phone and rerooted and used TWRP and I was able to flash everything.

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

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.
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)

Omega Rom help

As the title Im noob, I Just rooted my note 3 CF auto root and flash twrp recovery, i cant post on the official Thread don't have enough post.

Did you flash Omega from external SD??
TWRP recovery is the newest??? (2.7.1.0)
Yes I did, I have the latest twrp recovery installed no joy , flash few times same problem, using different rom, probably try different recovery later, is the stock rom With root?
Using twrp 2.7.2.0, 64gb sandisk card
Make sure you check wipe /system data when doing a complete wipe or it's not classed a a fresh install.

For Omega v18 you need to do a factory reset in twrp, than wipe cache, dalvik cache before you flash the ROM. Do that and than report back.
Thanks, got it working really nice Rom

[Q] Galaxy Y and CWM

Hi,
I got a Galaxy Y for trying and learn how to install CWM and Cyanogenmod.
I have entered recovery mode, installed CWM, but now instead Android, it boots into CWM.
What can i do for avoid this? How can i install CWM from SD card instead the stock recovery? I have read Google found guides, but something i made wrong, and this is why CWM boots instead Android.
Thanks for any help

There are two types of cwm for galaxy y
1- temp cwm is a zip you flash in stock recovery each time you want to enter cwm
2- permanent cwm is a cwm that is built into a custom kernel and replaces the stock kernel & recovery
Now to your problem - you have probably flashed an incompatible kernel for the rom you are using hence it won't boot
Either flash a correct kernel for your rom or flash stock rom via odin & start again (will wipe phone)
See my firmware thread for stock rom firmware - links in my signature
As for cyanogenmod you have with cm7 or cm11 - both require different kernels with different inbuilt cwm versions - read the instructions on the rom threads
Also please note questions go in the question and answer section
Hi,

Yes, you can flash back to a stock Samsung ROM using Odin. I recommend downloading the stock ROM and keep it on your computer so you can flash back to stock when required.

Well I tried to use that rom but I had some problem with that due to which I got to reflash stock firmware. Whenever I tried to install rom using TWRP my phone rebooted and get stuck on note 3 logo.
Friends, I was unable to install Phronesis rom. The steps that I followed are given below.
1) Downloaded Phronesis v6.2 rom from OP and copied it to SD Card.
2) Booted into TWRP recovery.
3) Selected "Wipe" option in the recovery menu.
4) Selected Advanced wipe.
5) From this menu I selected system, data, cache and delvit/art cache.
6) After selecting above options I swiped to wipe.
7) After this I went back to main recovery Menu.
8) From recovery menu I selected Install.
9) From here I chose Phronesis v6.2 rom from SD card storage.
10) Installation started and a bar started to load on the bottom of screen.
And after a few seconds (10 to 30 sec) my phone restated and stuck on note 3 logo.
At the end I didn't have any option but to re-flash stock firmware using odin.
It is the horror story of my note 3.
Please tell me where I have done wrong.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65358180&postcount=10000
1. Boot into recovery (say TWRP) Please read Q&A re TWRP .
2. Select wipe in recovery menu
3. Select Advanced Wipe
4. From the resulting window, select to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache (of course after backing up your rom / data)
5. Swipe to wipe the selected partitions.
That's recovery wipe completed.
Recovery install zip .
In Aroma menu when you get to option to wipe, select:
1. Select "Full Wipe" radio button
2. Select "Full wipe 1" radio button
3. Select your CSC as desired
4. Continue making other choices as you like....
Sir i am trying to follow this guide given in OP in Phronesis Rom thread. I successfully followed this guide till recovery wipe. But unfortunately it is not going into aroma installer.?
Then its a failed download of the rom .
Install zip should lead to a start of the rom install and aroma with options .
Suggest you stop posting multiple threads its to hard to follow .

Thanks. And sorry for multiple threads. I will download that rom again.
Should I put rom file in internal memory of note 3 or I should put it in SD card?
SD Card .
Tried by redownloading the rom but still I can not enter aroma installer.
What is MD5?
The lollipop that I am currently installing my note 3 is "N9005ZSUGOL1_N9005OZSGOL1_N9005ZSUGOL1_HOME.tar.md5" via odin.
Is there any other way to make my stock rom more significant without installing custom rom?
Upgrade is almost complete. I will root soon after completion.
After trying many times, I don't want to install this rom anymore. Thanks every one for help. XDA is really amazing.
