[Q] What to check before trying a new rom?

Hello all,
I just inherited a Samsung GT-S5360L phone from my father and i wanted to try some roms. Some of the available roms seem pretty cool, but i have noticed a small detail, my phone model ends with an L, and the roms available dont.
This is probably because my cellphone is a southamerican model. So, My main question is, what should i check before flashing a rom into my S5360L in order to avoid problems?
I am mainly worried about loosing the 3G signal (or the whole phone signal) if i flash an incorrect rom. I read some posts that said that i should use a specic CSC.
Can anyone explain to me a litle more about this? Do i need to flash the ROM and my original CSC files in order for the rom to work with my operators, or the process is different?
Thanks in advance.
Solution!
Sir,
You must have bought your Galaxy Y with some Carrier! That why it end with a "L", But that does not matter! To prevent bricking ur phone just follow the correct installation instruction.. If you brick your GY there is a guide in the general section to restore back! Make a Nandroid Backup first of all and then Flash GT-S5360 Firmware (The one preferred in the Rom's installation guide I hope this helps! As much as I know, all roms will work :laugh::fingers-crossed:

to ensure installation success please download "Galaxy Toolbox" by doky in the playstore and unlock your network (if it is sim/carrier locked)
then follow all instructions provided by the rom authors to ensure success,
if in case all else fails just reflash to a stock rom via odin, not to worry since any stock rom will do
thanks for the information guys. I know any rom should work, i do it in mi LG Optimus2x but i had a samsung phone before (galaxy spica) and i had some troubles after flashing some custom roms, where i would only be able to have 2G signal and not 3G, or in some cases have no connectivity at all. I will give some roms a try and see how everyhting goes (and do a backup first, hehehe).
thanks again.

[Q] Nexus 4 endless Bootloop. Help !!

So
I just fixed my broken Screen on my Nexus 4 (i earn money repairing phones), and i got a problem. The Proximity Sensor and Light sensors werent working so i just took them off and tried to boot up again. But my phone isnt booting anymore. It just keeps bootin inside a bootloop. Device was never rooted or unlocked. So i tried resetting but didnt work. Then unlocked the device and flashed a custom recovery and several different roms but didnt work either.
Now i wanted you guys help, if you could tell me if nexus devices dont boot up with missing hardware. Because my experience tells me that almost every smartphone even boot up with mossing hardware like the sensors and things.
Dont know if anyone ever had a problem like this, but i hope you guys can help me.
I dont want to huy a new proxysensor before being sure its about the missing hardware, cause the sensors are like 20 $ and that phone isnt much worth anymore.

I'm having the same problem with my Nexus 4. It just went into bootloop and i've tried flashing these stock roms. The phone turns on normally after flashing these roms but the radio doesn't work. It shows baseband unknown and no imei.
If anyone can help then it would be great.

I have the same problem too! I'm searching a method to restore imei but qpst can't find the nexus 4; if someone find a method please post it!
Sorry for my bad english!
Did anyone's Nexus 4 fell or got damaged before getting stuck into bootloop?
In one Thread i read that there was some issue with the vibrator in the phone and after removing it and reflashing the phone worked perfectly normal.
I guess my Nexus 4 fell the day before it got stuck into bootloop.
But i don't know how right i am so if anything like this happened then do post it here to let us know.
Has this been resolved??? I have same issue as OP, replaced screen for nexus 4 proximity sensor problem, then tried to fix it and now in bootloop even after unlocking device and flashing android 4.4.4 and 4.3
Could someone try this and post the result here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/tutorial-how-to-unbrick-n4-t2347060
Sorry for my bad english
Bootloop
same problem
Hey guys i don't know about the bootloop problem but i have changed my screen on my nexus 4 too and i had the proximity problem, i found a fix on the internet you just need to take the little rubber thing on the sensors with two holes and turn it around. I don't know why but it works. Hope this helps at least somebody.
If someone have another nexus 4, please backup EFS folder whit this http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/efs-nexus-4-imei-efs-backup-restore-t2740788, use it, move backup to compiter, open m9kefs1.img with an hex editor, find the place for IMEI code and change it to the original IMEI for not be illegal; maybe can work also from backup of another device that use EFS folder for IMEI.
If work please upload it without your IMEI
Sorry for my bad english
nexus 4 no sim detected unknown baseband no imei
my phones screen was not working got replaced after that this problem started. its not only problem with unknown baseband and null imei its problem with also speakers no voice and no sim card recognized and I have nexus 4 android 5.1.1 flashed older roms no luck. some one told lollipop needs new baseband version to work fine all these things. but can't find any baseband on web.

Did lg repair the phone? Sounds like the motherboard was damaged during the screen replacement.

I got many friends help me to bring back the dead xiaomi, and i got my xiaomi to the service center and to repair expert but no one can really bring it back from bricked, i got the conclusion that it is the ROM because all suggest to change whole main board because no sparepart for just the ROM, so i sold the dead xiaomi to somebody and put up some money to buy a new one
I have been facing same problem with redmi note 3g, took it to the service center, they suggested to replace motherboard which will cost RS.6500 with tax and 1 month warranty, however, redmi note prime is on sale for Rs.7000 with 1 year warranty, So there is no point getting motherboard replaced, And Mi Service centers don't repair any of the parts, though I'm in the process of getting it checked with a local mobile center, If I get any usefull information, I will share it here

Any updates, I just found your wordings on this forum and realized that its a software bug by Xiaomi, before this I was thinking its a hardware issue, i went to technician and they said your phone is short(Some IC issue). how the phone can simply turn off permanently without any issue. I have same useless device in my cupboard what I do with it now? any recommendations.
As I see it's an emmc chip problem. It should be replaced. Part number is H26M42003GMR

E330l - enemy number 1

I've got Galaxy s4,korean model e330l. I've tried to install every rom I could found on the internet (about 10), from official samsung roms to unofficial roms. The phone is in bootloop, on some roms it turns on once on a while and then everything is fine untill next restart after few minutes. It's also getting hot in the area of the back camera. I've got two questions, maybe somebody could help me:
1) is it still possible that is a software issue? What else can I do through Odin? Install Pit files?
2) if I would like to change motherboard can somebody tell if the motherboard from e330s model will be ok with a display of e330l
Thank you very much for your help
Doubt it's a software issue.
The display should be fine. People have repaired GT-I9505 with GT-I9500 parts and vice versa.

No network connection.

Its most likely a hardware issue as you tried flashing stock firmware. Did you try flash stock modem?
