instal custom rom problem..

I've tried all types of flashing and so, yet I get same black screen after rebooting my phone
not sure if any of my files are wrong, yet I don't think so
I've tried all I can think of, all custom roms and stuff, but no result
I can get to root my phone, install bootstraper then bootmenu, wiped all data and cache but while installing the mod, it loads the installation and after last reboot I get a blank screen with no options to get back in bootmenu or recovery
it's rather my fault or not, but I can't install it, not even with your fast help from post above
any tips left?

What stock do you have? froyo or gingerbread one? and what rom do you want install?
Because if you have Gingerbread base you cannot install miui or cm for froyo kernel..
but you have a Cm gb kernel based..
sorry for my English

I have Gingerbread (2.3.4) and I want to instal CM7 (http://temp.anonymouz.eu/cm72-111215.1631-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-GB-v1.3.zip) or else...but I cannot instal anything..the screen remains black after apply update.zip.. and to startup phone again only after I flash SBF...
Sorry for my English..but i really need help

you have to downgrade your kernel.
just folow instructions in this topic:

There's a sbf-fix for that issue on the CM7 thread, for GB kernel you need to apply update.zip, wipe data/cache/dalvik, reboot and you get a blank screen, then you flash the sbf-fix via RSDLite and now you can boot
You can also try CM9 which is based on European GB

wow it works, thank you all for all :X

[Q] ClockWordMod Recovery installation of a ROM fails

Hello,
I tried multiple times to install a ROM with ClockWordMod Recovery on a rooted Samsung Galaxy Y with stock kernel & rom.
Even when I reflash the stock rom with Odin and try everything what people suggest on the internet, it doesn't work.
I get the next error when I try to install a ROM like JellyBlast or some other ROM's: Installation aborted(bad).
What can I do to fix this ?
And also it isn't possible to flash ClockWordMod Recovery for permanent, need to flash it over and over when I restart recovery.

If this problem is with multiple roms, you need to probably try another zip file of CWM. If this is for one particular rom, download the rom zip again; you must not have downloaded it fully.

there are some roms which install only via recovery not cwm..
nd if u want permanent cwm try to install a kernel with cwm like savie's kernel..
**rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...**

This happened because ur downloaded ROM file is bad. Do a redownliading or unzip it with zipper then zip it again. Then it will be ok. Last time i had a problam like this

Most probably corrupted files
clearly,god is a democrat!

Thank you all for the fast responses and I tried also different roms and I have a second problem too with unzipping the roms.
When I try to unzip all of the roms that I tried, It gives an error that I can't unzip it, and I tried 4 times to download again and again the ZIP, but nothing works.
Do you guys have an idea of a kernel with permanent CWM and an ICS rom for Galaxy Y that works by installing it with CWM ?
So yes, could you please send me the XDA-thread if possible ?
@menewtoroot: Could you send me the correct topic of that Kernel with working download links and can you also confirm that this will work for a permanent CWM ?
Thank you all again, I will wait for you

Firstly :
Problem if you fail to flash, try to check the flashable zip file, maybe Bad file/corrupt file
Second :
if you want to have permanent CWM on your phone, i recommend you to try using Savie kernel
it so fast and more performance and have Permanent CWM

If you really want your phone to work fast and default CWM.
I suggest you use Merruk kernel.
Fast and bug free.
If I helped maybe you would consider hitting thanks button.

Hello guys,
I did try everything like it does need to be working, but it doesn't work.
First time I tried, the ROM booted but everything crashed so I started over again:
Wiped everything
Flashed Stock rom with Odin
Flashed the Jellyblast rom
Flashed CWM with Merruk kernel
Tried to boot and stuck at boot screen
Tried this for several times, even without flashing Merruk's kernel it doesn't work.
Can you please provide me a short SELF-MADE tutorial with the easy steps to do what and FLASH what?
With the files included please ?
Thank you all!

I think Before you can flash a rom with rom manager, you will need a custom recovery.
there are a couple to chose from :
TWRP
CWM
CWM Philz Touch
The creator from the google rom rom wich you want to flash gave no specific one, so you can pick one and all three should work. i'm using philz touch at the moment.
The custom recovery must be flashed from pc with odin, if you never used odin before, you need to install usb drivers / or 'kies' first.
If you never used Odin, then make sure you read a little first on how to use it, it's simple but can give bootloops or worse if not used well.
Since you have to flash this recovery you might as well flash it from there? it's easier i think and has more options then rom manager.
turn off phone -> press volume up - menu button - power button at the same time wich will open custom recovery and from there follow the guidelines from the google edition v6 topic on how to flash it.
-> Inside the custom recovery there is an option for backup, i suggest if this is your first custom rom tryout, that you make a backup in that custom recovery before trying, like that you can't do much wrong while testing

i guess i made it ... thanks for anyone who trying to help me..
now running JB4.3 thanks before

-> owyess, those custom recoverys are for i9505, if you have an i9500 or other device, DON't flash these but get your own version at the 'original android development' threads from your device

[Q] Error Install android 4.4 on mb526

Hi, sorry for my bad english but i'm italian and i'm new of the world of costume rom (i did the root yesterday:laugh.
I see that "quarx" make a good 4.4 kitkat rom for the defy plus and i tried to install it but when i make it appears "error on the .zip file" and the smartphone can't install it.
This are the step that i have make:
1 obviously the root
2 install 2ndInit version 2.3
3 go to recovery mode
4 make "wipe data factory reset"
5 make "wipe dalvick cache"
6 go to install zip from sd card
The version of the zip is the last posted by quarx, i try with the other version but same problem.
Where is wrong? someone can help me? Fortunately before do all this i make the bakup and now i'm returned with the original 2.3.6 motorola rom.
Ps: i repeat, i'm italian and new for this type of work. Please write easily and step-by-step what i have to do. Thanks!!!

Thank you very much!!! :good::good::good: This afternoon (if i have time) i will try and i telling you if it work.
Another two question without open other thread: when the defy is upgraded to 4.4 can i do the overclock with a normal apk or i have to do it in recovery mode? And can i install the patch for make 720p video or it was only for the 2.3.6 version?
For the overclok i see that in some costume rom i can use a apk, in other no.

Apk will work

[Q] uninstalling slimkat (cm11)

Hi guys, need some help here. I'm sure this has been asked before but i just couldn't find any
Installed slimkat 20140406-0134 rom (cm11) last night and it's basically working. But I'm still not feeling comfortable using it as there's still bugs around. So thought of going back to cm7.2 for now. But for the life of me couldn't figure out how to get to the tool section so I can re-partition it back to ext3!!!
All I could get in to is twrp recovery and that's it. how do I even get into the bootmenu section where I can choose recovery, cpu settings, tools, etc? There's no red Moto logo with blue LED at boot up anymore
Is there any uninstall instruction somewhere, or perhaps someone should write one?

44 viewers but no reply
any idea if i can install some sort of apps to achieve the same end? like a wipe app to re-partition it to ext3, and then an older recovery to install cm7 rom, or restore my cm7 backup?
don't really want to just try and see what will happens. also trying to avoid flashing sbf and start from scratch.....
edit: will aromawiper work? reboot to twrp recovery 2.6.3.0, aromawipe to ext3 and then flash cm7.2 rom straight after? expert opinion and advice please.
edit 2: oh well, tried it and didn't work. might be because i didn't install an older, compatible recovery before i rebooted. stuck at red moto logo and had to flash sbf and start all over again......
case closed...........

you can flash cm10 to get the boot menu to format to ext3 then flash to cm7.2.
Thats what i did when i tested cm11.

Or use Aroma wiper to format to ext3 and flash CM7.2.

that's exactly what i did but didn't work. aromawiper seems to have worked properly but twrp 2.6.3.0 keep saying "no os installed" after i installed the gb rom and tried to reboot. tried maniac's cm7.2 and an older wiui gingerbread rom. i thought it might be a hickup and rebooted anyway and that was it.
don't know what went wrong there. has anyone actually tried this method before and got it to work?
edit: imho twrp is not worth it. it rebooted 8-10 times on me after installing cm11 and tried to get back into recovery to flash gapps. also other problems like blank backup files and my failures to install rom problem. they should have stuck to cwm until the problems are fixed.
edit 2: and i think removing bootmenu is not a good idea. more steps to take if you want to go back to cm7.2.
