[Q] Flashing rom/radio help?

I have a question for y'all experts lol :silly: i got my nexus 4 over the weekend and am already rooted with SuperSU, and am running TWRP as my recovery. the problem I am having is with flashing roms/radios. I tried installing toasted marshmallow (here) and had the following problems. after running the awesome wipe script, I flashed the rom followed by infernogapps and rebooted. After waiting about half an hour, the phone was still at the bootup animation. So I shut the phone off restored to the stock image and tried to find out what I was doing wrong. I saw something about 4.2.2 radios and tried to flash the fko1/fko2 radios prior to reflashing. the flash came up FAILED, saying that there was no md5sum and there was an error within the samsung packages? i tried to reflash the rom anyway, once again with no success. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFUL as I would really like to try out this rom. I'm not new to rooting or flashing roms or anything, however I am no expert and this is my first time attempting to flash roms to this particular device.
--Thanks

Now if i wanted to revert to a rom that is based on 4.2.1, would these radios cause issues? If so could you link me to radios that would work? Thanks

N9005 need help. Possible brick?

Hi all and apologies and a million thanks in advance for your help and patience.
I have been trying for the past 8 hours to root (which I did successfully on stock 4.3) then install a CWM and 4.4 Rom. I didn't do any back ups etc(I know I am a D head... Just that I have done this several times before and never had any issues and didn't have anything to lose, well I thought anyway, I had previously rolled back to stock using Kies with Note 2 and thought I could do it with note 3, but nooooo)
Anyway I'm stuck at the Galaxy boot screen. I can get into recovery and download screens but that is it. I would really appreciate it if any help could be given. I have tried searching the forums but Im a little out of my depth now. I cant seem to find a resolution as I cant get into a rom.
Many thanks
Dale

Thanks mate. I took a punt on that and have it all installing now. Im following this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608313
Odin currently doing its thing, about 25%. fingers crossed...
Thanks again

Nup. Its still stuck at galaxy screen saying RECOVERY BOOTING in top left corner
WAIT..... WAIT....
I re flashed Philz Touch Wiz 6.13 and then went again and re flashed the guide I linked and hey presto. Now it has booted into set up! thank god.
Now for custom ROM!!!!!!! Thanks

4.4.2 Update from 4.3 on Galaxy S4 i9505

Pardon the noobishness.
My 4.3 was rooted via towelroot and has Nova launcher,
as I have read for months about recoveries, ROM's, Kernels, bootloaders etc
and am more confused than when I first looked into rooting!
3 days ago I decided to flash my stock ROM so that I could update from 4.3 TO 4.4.2 VIA kies.
Immediately I was underwhelmed!
My phone turned itself off randomly.
The K on the kit katkat screen did not spin.
I lost my root, so I thought I would try and re flash the i9505XXUEMK9. Odin said in yellow "failed".
I waited about 15 minutes and nothing was happening and unplugged,big mistake,
the screen had a yellow picture, oh FUDGE!
So I took it to the Samsung Store in Sydney and I was lucky enough that the store was empty and a tech came up to me(!?)
I didn't have a reciept, but I told him the story and he said he could help.
He connected it to his laptop and asked me what carrier, and 10 minutes later,
phone was working and he had flash the Optus logo onto it
I was so happy!
When the phone booted up there was the towelroot and Titanium apps on the screen, but he didn't even care
I take it home, towelroot doesn't work, so I investigate, and the answer is Chainfire, all good.
The stress of it all!
Then I decide to hell with a custom ROM, I found Xposed with Gravitybox
and spent all arvo trying to make it work and Nudda!
Are my dreams of custom ROMS over??
As I am really wanting a hybrid S5 ROM!
I'm so lost!
I back up with titanium. I don't understand why I would need CWM, TWRP or Philz?
Then, the wiping process, dalviks?
Then I know how to flash with Odin.
I would really appreciate if someone knows a comprehensive tutorial or just to be pointed in the direction of my
knowledge blackholes, I feel that I'm close to being full circle!
I really want the S5, Note 3/4 features but I can't afford the upgrade.
Any advice or comments will be appreciated

Indeed, based on your story you are a big noob (no offence). You tried to flash a 4.3 rom while you were already on 4.4.2. That's impossible.
So what do you want? A custom rom?
- Flash a custom recovery
- Flash the rom with the custom recovery
It's so easy.
And Gravitybox? You should read more. That's not for a TW based rom. It clearly states that in big letters.

Thanks
Thanks for stating the obvious Lenny.
I want a hybrid S5 Rom.
Do I just have to download the ROM then flash it?
I don't understand why I couldn't just re flash 4.3?
Thanks

Yes download and flash.
If you want to know why you couldn't reflash 4.3 read this.

OK.
I have flashed CWM 6.0.4.4.
I don't see the point of that though.
Next is to download a custom ROM and flash that?

Yes, do a wipe in the recovery though.

I recommend you flash TWRP or Philz Recovery for avoid problems.

infinite samsung logo boot after xposed framework has been flashed.

have looked through a different threads for a solution to this problem and cannot find anything to help me, i have a galaxy s4 running lollipop 5.0.1 ( Armv7), phone is rooted and has TWRP custom recovery installed tonight i have tried to flash xposed framework , it flashes fine i then clear my cache and dalvik and reboot phone only to have an infinite samsung logo. this is only solved by using the framework un-installer. i have tried all versions from v75-v85 but still get the same problem. anyone have a solution for this or should i just give up?

Have you read the part which mentions you need a special version for TouchWiz ROMs?

No i'm afraid i haven't seen it, just looked through my system files and came across touchwiz. Where do i go from here, do i have to reflash a new custom recovery or is it simply a different framework zip file?

You apparently haven't followed or read them carefully enough, because the thread also gives you links on how to deodex.
Just throwing this here.

Don't flash xposed on stock. Simple. Flash a ROM and then it.

Need help finding a 4.4 KitKat stock rom for my sm-g530t please!!

Hey guys, im having trouble finding a stock version of android 4.4 KitKat for my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (sm-g530t variant) because im trying to get pretty much any version of LineageOS thats Marshmallow and above, but they all require me to have 4.4 kitkat installed, and i simply cannot find it ANYWHERE. if anyone out there can provide me a link, or send me a link to like google drive with a backup of a freshly stock factory reset backup? Just something please, im getting quite desperate as i cannot afford a new phone, but 5.1.1 is giving me all sorts of hell, what with not having adoptable storage and whatnot. So if anyone can help me out, it would be GREATLY appreciated, as i have searched and searched and searched for literally HOURS trying to find 4.4 for this thing, and i never found one. for reference, if need be, im trying to get LineageOS 15.1 or 15.0, if that helps too, but i dont know, im sort of a noob in a way. I can and have flashed a few alternate roms, but i need 4.4 for Lineage. Also, ive already checked on Sammobile, and the only firmware they have is 5.1.1. Ive even searched around XDA quite a bit, and still cant find it :crying: Thanks to all who can help, and have a great day!

You need *4.4 and above* to install lineage. So having 5.1.1 is fine as well.

see, thats the thing. ive already tried flashing it with 5.1.1, and it just loopedon the boot animation, i let it run for a solid hour, and still didnt do anything.. i honestly dont know what to try next, i just need it to work. any further help and clarification would be most appreciated!

Lineage 15 isn't working yet. Use the July 2017 build of Lineage 14. There's a few bugs, but I use it just fine. Be sure you are using the correct version of TWRP. I think I had to downgrade TWRP to install Lineage 14.

Oh, alright. i didnt know i had to use a specific version of TWRP, so i guess thats also on the list lol. Do you think it would make a difference if my current rom was a stock TW rom, but deodexed, debloated, and rooted?

Nope. Your stock TW ROM doesn't needs to be deodexed, de-bloted or anything. Only thing you need is a custom TWRP recovery to flash the ROM.

it still doesnt work actually, ive tried both the LineageOS 14.1, 14.0, and the Resserection Reborn roms. none of them work with a deodexed and de-bloated rom.

You're probably doing something wrong if that's the case.
Check if:
- You're flashing images for the proper device (SM-G530T1/gprimelte),
- You're using ODIN or TWRP correctly,
- Your images are not corrupt (there are MD5 files with each build for md5 verification, and zip signature checks with TWRP),
- Your device is hardware unlocked via Developer Options in the stock ROM,
- FRP lock is disabled on your device.

Let me know if you get back to stock 5.1.1 because nothing works. Im forced to use june version of lineage 14.1

got back to a working stock 5.1.1

Yeah i have checked all of those to make sure, but it seems yo just not want to use any other roms. The only rom i got to work was a debloated deodexed rom. If yhere is any other thing you think im possibly screwing up on, please do tell, thanks!
