Ok guys ..hi there. I am running PAC ROM 4.4.4..ok guys am having an issue ..i originally got this phone (i9500) with 4.4.2 kitkat touchwiz i rooted it and installed twrp 2.6.0.0 and all was well..Then i decided to install the ozcan rom 6.3 ...after flashing the rom...the first boot was stuck on Samsung logo ( and yes i advance wipe my phone several times using the mke2fs format) and this rom is for my model! So i was disappointed... Then i wiped again and tried to restore my backup which also led to a bootloop..soo i had no choice but to flash a next ROM... The rom that worked was 4.2.2 wanam lite (jellybean) ..i got tired of it and went to pac ROM now.i wanted to try the ozcan rom again.. It didn't work! I tried arrow rom..it didn't work ..and these worked for other i9500 users..so am wondering is my recovery outdated and not doing it correctly ? So the main question is WHY CANT I INSTALL A TOUCHWIZ KITKAT ROM??

You could try updating recovery. And maybe try to flash it via Odin (if that's possible)

I have been using the CM11 rom from Temasek until I decided to have a go at the Omega Rom. After installing through recovery, my note cannot get out of the Samsung Logo. It just refused to start. Tried installing latest stock rom through odin, same issue. Saw three lines of messages on the top left hand corner and the Samsung logo and that's it. Can only get it working if I revert back to Temasek's rom.
Help anyone...

which versions of omega and stock rom did you flash ? i read you said the newest, just asking to be sure.
if its the newest omega rom, you must flash 4.4.2 stock rom first.
when you upgrade to 4.4.2, you can no more use cm11 and you cant go back to any 4.3 based rom.

I tried the 7.1 Omega Rom and then the 4.4.2 version of the stock rom.
You have to flash the stock 4.4.2 via Odin. Is that what you did?

Yes I did.
Try to boot into recovery after flashing the stock 4.4.2 and factory reset. Maybe that will work.

Flash stock 4.3 with odin, then 4.4.2 stock with odin. Then install recovery, and Omega after.

that shouldnt be possible if you done everything right.
as soon as you are on the new bootloader that you get when you flash 4.4.2, you can definatley not revert to temasek, it wont boot.
i think you are still on the old bootloader and that is why your kitkat based roms dont boot.

Thanks all... Its done. Went back to stock rom 4.3, then the 4.4.2, then followed by the usual rooting process for 4.4.2. Phone's working fine now. Doing update to Omega 7.2 as I am writing now... Thanks again all...

Hello Guys!!!
I have a Samsung i9505 and I'm trying to use a custom rom. I've been using Google Play Edition 4.4.2 and sometime ago it started to notify the 4.4.3 update. I've tried to install it, but nothing happened. I've installed the Jamal GPE 4.4.3 and it works. The problem is that I can't reboot the device. If I do it, the device does not start again... have to install everything again... I've also tried to install Miui Rom, Mahdi Rom and the problem persists. All these Roms works, but I can't reboot... I'm using Team Win v2.5.0.
Am I doing anything wrong?
Thank You!

Reflashing a stock rom shouldn't be needed.
You are using an old version of the recovery. Upgrade the recovery and everything should probably be solved. Make sure to always fully wipe before flashing roms.

I flashed the stock rom and the stock recovery yesterday. After that, I flashed CWM (last version non-touch), mahdi rom 4.4.4 and gapps.
Everything is working now.

Hi,
As long as they are custom rom you can jump back and forth no problem , custom rom do not have bootloaders ( stock roms do) , you just have to BACKUP first ( Nandroid , EFS) full wipe and install

Hi installing A kernel is easy here are the steps
1. Make a backup because if anything goes wrong you can restore ur setting
If you want to make a back up go to Backup and restore click backup ,back up everything: System,Data,Cache,etc
make sure you backup ur stuff to ur micro sd card
2. Make sure the kernel is compatible for your device and the rom
3 Flash the kernel an enjoy
4 By the way can you tell me the kernel name and link for the ROM and the kernel so i can check if its compatible with ur device/Rom
If i helped you please press the thanks button
If u have any problem contact me
there are many kernels for s4 based on 4.2 and 4.3
perseus, adam and many more
do remember to create a backup using recovery
philz recovery is best
then download the zip of any kernel (do remember to check its compatibility with ur OS version i.e jb or kk)
any flash it using recovery

I thought that for the I9500 almost no custom kernels are being maintained anymore. Better to stick with the one that comes with the rom.
Hello regarding the note 4 smn 910f . I used the chain fire auto root method ,followed a video posted by xda on YouTube ,flashed twrp and seemed to root fine ,twrp back ups worked fine aswell but I can not install a custom rom at all,it is bugging me so much I even flashed the latest firm ware from Sam mobile and started again and it still wouldn't work.it just installs the rom and then bootloops.rooting my m7 was trickier than the n4 but at least it worked after,am I missing something here,rooting then installing twrp then back up ,wipe cache ,data dalvik then install rom then BOOTLOOP,what's going on ,please help somebody ,I want to unleash the phones power.
You need to be on certain bootloader and modem for custom rom to work. Check the instalation procedure for rom you are trying to flash. I normally fully wipe, not just cache and dalvik.

Thank you I have managed to do this with your help,appreciate it.do you know if the original stock firmware from Sam mobile includes the bootloader and modem within it ? Just wondering incase I ever wanted to go back to stock, or does the bootloader and modem for original stock firmware need downloading from another source? Thanks.
They come with it
