So, I got jealous of my brother... I too wanted a custom rom for my GT-i9500... I downloaded "pac_jfltexx-Black-Power-Edition_20140106"....
Downloaded Gapps.. After I did all the steps, which were:
1. Wipe cache
2. Wipe Data/factory reset
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Format /system
Then I selected, install zip from external SD card... I saw that, it said during installition, "Installing for i9505", and I was like whaa!?!? Afterwards, I did a search on the internet that what happens when we format system, it said that you ought to install a ROM because the system is without an OS..
After realizing my mistake, I STILL went ahead and installed it like a retard xD..
And now again I did all the above steps, somehow I have the CWM 6.0.3.3 still installed and opened right here... I am not able to do anything on my phone... Please tell me how to overcome this situation...
I searched on the internet, I found out that I can still install any ROM. I'm downloading KingCobra ROM build 5...
Now what do I do?
P.S.- I have a nandroid backup, but its not on my phone's sd card or the ext sd card, its on my computer, can I do anything with that backup and use odin to flash the backup?
- Download one firmware of Sammobile good for ur i9500
- Full wipe(data,system, cache and dalvick cache) in Recovery
- Go to Download Mode
- Flash the new firmware with Odin
- Enjoy it

But, I don't know how to put it there...My computer is not showing my device in My Computer..?
I have an idea.. I am going to put the downloaded ROM on the extSDcard via a Card Reader, and then maybe I can flash it? Or I can put my nandroid backup there?
Will this work?
Alright, so I put the KingCobra on the extSDcard via card reader, and I flashed it after wiping cache, data/facotory reset, system /format, and wipe dalvik cache....
I flashed it. But I didn't flash the Gaaps since it wasn't written there...
My phone proceeded the display "Samsung GT-i9500", then the music played of Samsung, and right now it's just there, the LED giving off blue light, getting dim and bright, I am just there for the last 5 minutes..
P.S.- The zip of KingCobra was of 1.4 GB...I downloaded the build 5 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497087
It's still stuck, what to do? Or just sit back since it's a big ROM?
Finlyno Had
Okay, I read on the KingCobra forum place on XDA. It said, that I'll have to flash a pit file. And many other instructions which I didn't understand. The startup sucked my whole phone's battery, and the only change was that the LED started to blink in Green color as well as Blue... Right now, my phone is just lying, I'm charging the battery, and it's playing the Red LED.
Please help, I don't know what to do.
need sacteh
I had a nandroid backup. I restored my phone. But now stuck at the samsung boot logo... Please help.. :crying:
I did a factory rest, flashed the restore, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, now stuck at samsung logo again :crying: :crying: :crying:
Pretty sure you were told in the first reply you got to go get a stock rom from Samfirmware & flash it with Odin to get a 'clean slate' & to then either re-root your phone and try flashing the custom rom again (and maybe read the flashing instructions for the rom in question this time) or restore a backup.
Oh...Look...That's exactly what you were told (and you haven't done it)
You clearly have no idea what you're doing (how to recover in particular, and obviously how to flash the rom in question as well), I strongly suggest you do what was suggested (flash a stock rom) if you want your phone working again anytime soon.
If you have philz recovery, then you can attach a memory stick with an usb otg cable, and make a restore from there, or install a new rom

Small problem, no actually a big one when installing Cyanoid SDMerge 15.4 on my LGE400.
I successfully installed Cyanoid Standard 15.4 and am trying to upgrade to SDMerge using the steps found on the Google site of Cyanoid. I have these three files on my external SD: SDMergE400_Step1.zip SDMergE400_Step2.zip cyanoid15.4sdmerge.zip, first two from given link and last one from ROM Manager.
First I actually found that _ExternalSD on the phone is actually a map and not my SD Card, as I put in the SD Card into the computer I was not able to see the cyanoid154sdmerge.zip I put on it using the phone's file explorer. When storing the other two files on my SD Card using my computer, I could not see them when going to _ExternalSD in my phone's file explorer.
I thought: Let's put those three files in both directories in case it might matter which directory will be chosen by recovery.
Now when I click on install SDMergE400_Step1.zip ; the thing says failed. No idea why, no idea how to solve.
It says: (Not everything is readable)
Updating partition details...
E:Resource type (image) failed to
Installing '/emmc/_ExternalSD/SDMe
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file fo

E:Error executing updater binary in

So ehm, what do to next?
Thanks in advance.
Does no one have an idea on how to install SDMerge on my E400 given the problems above? I forgot to mention that this package failure did not brick my phone so I am still looking for a way to install SDMerge.
Thanks in advance.

Oh you remind of one more other strange thing: On first boot, back at the stock rom of my LGE400GO, ROM Manager automatically installed CWM recovery. When I restart Cyanoid into recovery, I get to see TeamWin Recovery Project v2.7.0.0. What went wrong? Might it be this recovery that does not allow me to install SDMerge? Is there a way to change recoveries or should I do a total reinstall of Cyanoid?
I found out that it is possible to revert to CWM recovery, yet when I select to do so the phone gets stuck on Flashing.... (ClockWorkMod Recovery)
Used this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405279 to install CWM recovery using the Terminal for Android, it worked. This means that I know run the latest version of CWM recovery. I am going to try the SDMerge installation with this.
It worked. I was able to install step1.zip and step2.zip using CWM recovery. Installed SDMerge after that. Now my phone is rebooting, let's see if it worked. It is booting so I did at least not brick it. Though it is taking a bit long for Cyanoid for start, I think it worked. I will edit this post later this evening if it succeeded. EDIT: It booted. It is still slow, but it booted. This means that I now have Cyanoid 15.4 SDMerge installed.
Thanks.

its a bit strange to me that your stuck in recovery, usually if you flash recovery and it formats system (happens some times) if you make a clean install the rom should boot.
Last thing you can try is to format every thing in this order.
Go to mounts and storage.
Mount/system
Mount/data
Mount/catch
Format/system
Format/data
Format/catch
Go to advanced and whipe delvic catch
Then just follow the rest of instructions that @Paget96 said.
But yes if that doesnt work flash via kdz

Well If you want to flash a custom rom again, then flash another custom rom aside from the one that caused such strange thing. Follow Paget96 flashing steps, see if the problem persists, and make sure it's for L7 p700. If you haven't tried cyanhacker v2.0 then try it.

I have tried various methods to root on Lollipop, but I have not succeeded.
So I returned to KitKat, and then I flashed one version made by me with PRFCreator.
If you're like me, you'll have to reinstall KK, with root and Recovery, to flash the Lollipop Zip.
It's working fine, with root!

About root - do I need to flash SuperSU or is it just pre-rootet?
If I want to roll back to KK (running Xsistens rom right now), will I have flash an ftf of KK, then flash recovery, then restore my nandroid of my current setup?
I'm just trying to figure out how much work it is if I don't like Lollipop
Anyway - thank you for making this! I'm grateful.

Yes, SuperSU is pre-installed and root is working.
Recovery for Lollipop isn't working yet, so to restore your KK backup you will need to flash KK ftf, root, flash recovery, restore backup.

- Will also need to wipe system. Maybe not data unless you have things like xposed installed which may not be compatible with Lollipop.
- Flash kernel from link (if you want recovery)
- Don't select to wipe SDcard/external storage in recovery and it won't be wiped.
- Recovery is CWM.
Thank you mate
