1) Used the toolKit to unlock Bootloader
2) install twrp using Toolkit
3) transfered AOKP rom to device using airdroid
4) Went to TWRP, System Wipe 3 times, Clear cache 3 times
5) attempt to flash AOKP ZIP
6) ZIP failed to install no idea why
7) Tried to restart and now stuck at the GOOGLE logo
Please help is there anything i can do?
Hmm could i use the toolkit to flash an img file? Im dling a stock img atm.
First off.. Don't panic ... It wasn't your fault it failed ... I know because it happened to me . don't get it from "downloads" or goomanager .. Get it from the second post I. That thread on the latest date
Second . I don't think otg works in twrp so you will have to use adb to load the ROM

OTG does work in TWRP. I have found that it doesn't like some flash drives - no idea why. I've tried quite a few, some of mine work all the time, other just won't work.

Someone with more experience correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't we be avoiding wiping system in TWRP prior to flashing ROMs? I believe I read a thread (probably on RootzWiki) that said wiping system messes things up as you lose the ability to flash a ROM in the "traditional" manner. I wipe cache, dalvik, then click factory reset. I leave system alone and I've never had a problem with flashing ROMs.
so far all the roms i have taken from this forum have failed to flash, my recovery says it cant open the zip file.......
don't know what im doing wrong.......the device is rooted fine.....
after it has failed i then have problems restoring my back ups so i then need to flash stock with odin......
its a gt i9505, so i think im in the right section...
please advise....

Thanks for your help.....I will try restoring it to stock and start from the beginning.....will doing a factory reset in settings restore the stock recovery.....
I did actually try philz touch recovery....same thing happened....but I will try your option 2 and get back to you pronto.....
So I followed the steps you asked me too, twice and still no joy.....
philztouch recovery gives the following message:
E: Cab't open /external_sd/ROMS/SuperDroid_v4_m3ddog.zip (bad)
Installation aborted
Does it matter my custom rom file is on my external sd card?
The only thing i can think of is that i am trying to install a rom for different s4 variation maybe.........its the gt i9505, thats all i know....
HELP ME!!!......:crying:

U download a pre rooted firmware from android devlpmnt thread
Flash the firmware reset and tell me the status of by he same and then will try flashing philz recovery

Its telling you the problem... The rom you have above isn't complete or corrupted - IE"bad"
Either re-download the rom or try another rom...

thanks, its just strange that the 2-3 roms i have tried have all returned that error message, I will download the rom you linked and get back to you.....
is that rom to go on with odin, as currently i have stock recovery......?
no joy with the linked rom......
same thing happened, i can successfully get it rooted and flash recoveries no problem......
is it possible its a sd card problem.....
also, when i go to restore the back up i make before flashing the rom, it reverts back to a brand new handset, so i need to set it all up again, put in my Google account details etc.......all my apps return obviously, but this isn't meant to happen is it......
it really is confusing me, all the other devices I have had in the past and currently have flashed ok........
when i wipe before the flash, its just the default factory reset, cache, dalvik I do , is this correct?
That should be fine, it is possible the sd card is corrupt or not communicating properly with the recovery. You could always put the rom on the internal sd card.... Just don't factory wipe or you could loose the rom you are trying to flash...
That didn't work either......so frustrated with this.......
Can someone go through the exact procedure....I know there are guides but personal experience s are best.....

thanks....
I have been using twrp mostly....i don't believe the default wipe setting includes the system partition format...........could the absence of this formatting cause problems every time?
finally managed to flash a custom rom.......
the trick was to install the zip without any sort of wipe, then do the wipes after successful installation......
weird eh....
hello, i have a major problem!
i tried to wipe data/cach and internal memory with TWRP in advanced wipe (or something similar) to bring the phone to default.

i have tried to flash the stock rom with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
but the process stops with an error when thr programm tries to install the rom to the phone.

If you select internal storage wipe? That would most likely wipe everything including whatever rom you were planning on flashing, and your nandroid backups. Something similar happened to me. So I never select that in twrp advanced wipe...only cache,dalvik cache,system, and data...for a clean wipe for a new install.
Tomorrow morning i will post the backup promise .. :good:
