Hi everybody!
First of all I flashed CWM onto the phone using fastboot, then I "successfully" flashed from ColorOS to PAC ROM. Everything went nice untill I tried to enable WiFi. It can discover accespoints and allows me to enter my password but it wont connect. It just says "stored". Changing the IP settings manually didn't work either.
So, I was thinking, maybe going from ColorOS to PAC ROM is too much for a newb like me so I tried Paranoid Android... But on that rom I couldn't even enable WiFi! And after that I had the same thing with CyanogenMod. As a final solution I tried to flash it back to ColorOS but now I get a error (status 6). I've done a little searching and it I'm sure that there is a solution for that error but I don't want ColorOS, I want PAC ROM!
This is what I did to flash my phone.
I followed the instructions on the CM website for installing fastboot.
Using fastboot I installed CWM recovery
In recovery I did the following:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
install zip from sdcard (rom +ggapps)
reboot system now
I got my files here
I've done a lot of searching, but I counldn't find any similar issues. I think the problem is with my phone (or my incompetence) and not the rom(s)
If there is anyone that could help me or send me in the right direction it would be highly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Stefan.
Did you flash the right modem?...
All custom roms is modem 4.1 except Cyanogenmod, CM is modem 4.2. Coloros is also 4.2

Thanks a lot! I flashed the rom, ggapps AND the 4.1 modem dropbox.com/sh/m2rt58xjjrlg2p2/kSu4khBxa6 (source)and it works!
I'm thrilled it works, but how come I missed this requirement? It wasn't mentioned on the pages with the instructions for installing custom roms, or is it just me?
Thanks again, I'll buy you a beer!

I recently got a nexus 7 2012. I unlocked it and installed the custom recovery (CWM) according to the guides given in the forum and elsewhere. The problem comes when I install a custom ROM like CM10.2, It installs fine, but the boot does not resume after the CM animation. I tried another rom like AOKP and even TWRP as recovery, still the problem persists. My bootloader is 4.23 and flashing back to stock ROM works as normal. Please help.
What recovery you use. And what tool you use to root. For I use WUG toolkit. And install TWRP. And install CM 10.2 with no problem. Maybe you not really root. Update your superuser before that

Stupid question: are you sure you are flashing grouper ROMs?
Tried a lot of combinations with ROMs and recoveries finally I solved it. CWM wasn't working with its wipe options and tried TWRP and gave the full wipe of all partitions before flashing CM and gapps and it worked!!!!
Just flashed OmniRom beta 2 build together with gapps linked in the OmniRom thread and I get fc on first boot on both NFC service and one more android service something something - can't get passed the pop ups and a reboot into recovery is all I can do.
Wiped system using TWRP 2.6.3.2 and cleared cache after install - did another wipe after reboot just to be sure. I have seen this on other roms that I try to flash?
am I doing something wrong during the flash process?
Wipe (default twrp)
install rom and gapps
clear cache/dalvik
reboot
Tried different gapps with no success..
I tried to flash the first OmniRom (build 1) with the same problems and I also got CM start tutorial when I had flashed OmniRom?? So it feels like the wipe is not working as it should?

Where did you get the build? If you got a CM start tutorial then you definitely didn't wipe, and i wonder what exactly you're flashing? This would be anything official Omni

Got the Omni from

and the twrp from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995
Others have succeeded using this so no clue what I'm doing wrong? I have flashed other roms, recovery works. Sometimes it seems like it is not wiping it all?

As this is far from an official build, you will want to direct your issues to the porter/builder of the ROM in that thread you linked.

Think I found the problem - a "default" wipe in twrp won't do it - I had to go in to advanced and choose "cache,dalvik,data and system" now it works like a charm! Good to know for the future..
Hello to all.
I have a problem which i think i made into a bigger problem.
I have oneplus one 64GB original from the company .
after not succeeding in flashing PA, though i do have some rooting experience from my old S2 this is completely different.
OK so the thing is i tried following instructions by the letter, and installing PA on the phone but all i got is "failed" message.
i think i did it with the toolkit, i unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, wiped and installed CM12 .
after that i couldn't install Paranoid Android. "failed"
after that i just tried "whatever" using toolbox and toolkit and i got to a point that i think i'm lucky the phone works!
it was stuck on rebooting to fastboot.
So i restored the backup i had from two days ago and now i have CM12 nightly with root privileges.
PLEASE help me install PA.
mistake.
A. Don't use a toolkit. You don't need toolkits with one of the easiest phones to mod.
B. Update your recovery.
C. Factory reset in recovery.
D. Install ROM and gapps.

FYI: reading actual error messages will get you far in life.

before looking up, -are there anything special i should know ?
When switching Roms, you have to go to wipe, and factory reset from within the recovery.

Thank You!!!
I can't believe it was THAT SIMPLE!! all i had to do is install the recovery from the TWRP app and choose the latest one.
I don't know why it didn't recognized the old one.(i had TWRP recovery installed and that's what confused me)
After installing the latest recovery, all is good !!! Thank you!!! :good::good::good:
Hi!
I use Google edition s4 ROM, and i really like it. But when it receives an update do i have to factory reset everytime? Im on 20150614, with CWM 6,0,4,7.
Id really really appreciate a fast answer
Also, if i wish to switch Kernel from Alucard to Googy-Max, is it ok to Wipe dalvik cache, and then flash kernel?
EDIT: the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
bump?
Dirty flashes should be OK, however the ROM thread you linked to should have provided the answer. Regardless, you really should change that recovery to TWRP. Clockworkmod is no longer being supported and people are having difficulty installing some custom ROMs with it.
Wiping cache is fine when changing kernels.
Thanks for the help
Btw. I dont know how to change recoveries? XD. Is it Just using Odin like with cwm? And do i have to remove cwm first / wipe device?
No, u can just flash ur new recovery through cwm
Okay. What is the preferred TWRP? Do you possibly have a link ?
Asking because i cannot find the S4 i9505 on their site?
EDIT: I managed to install it via the App they've made. It is much nicer than CWM. Thanks for the help both of you
Ok ive tried to flash 2 different kernels multiple times now.
Tried Googy-Max, and the phone wont boot android ?
Tried Hulk, and it took forever to boot, then rebooted immediately etc.
Am i flashing kernels wrong?, i did dalvik/cache wipe after the flash
I wanted to upload a new rom to my phone (pine, 16GB), but it will never boot. Always after rebooting, TWRP will be loaded again. I'm tried multiple ROMs (LineageOS, DotOS, MokeeOS ), but the problem occurs for all rom. TWRP says, flash succed for every one system, but not booting after reboot.
I'm used twrp-3.5.0_9-20210101-pine-arm64 version. Only I can do flash a stock rom using MiFlash, but no custom rom via TWRP.
Mi device is correctly unlocked via Official Unlock Tool app.
Can you tell me why?
Thanks
Maybe try another twrp version or another completely like OrangeFox can't really tell you why i don't have as much knowledge in why or how it works but i have tried a lot on mine so this should be ur first troubleshooting step from my point of view also have you flashed the ROMs with their instructions some say the sequence you should format or wipe ur data etc...
Working for now,
The problem was that I didn't choose to Format data
