[Q] how to install custom rom over another custom rom on i9500

Hv been using Arrow rom 8.0. Works fine but wanted to upgrade to Arrow rom 9.0 which is based on the rom for India.
The phone is rooted and custom recovery installed(don't know much about the way to use it). Downloaded the rom and went into recovery mode. Ok'd the wipe data/factory reset. Ok'd wipe cache. Ok'd the option of upgrade from external storage and the phone went to the manual mode with csc as inu and asking for the filename. Didn't know what to do so yanked the battery and rebooted. The booted to Arrow rom 8.0 with all data gone.
One more thing I noticed that in recovery mode I had to use a magnifying glass to read the options. Also there was no option to choose the external storage ie the sd card where I download or copy the roms it only shows phone storage.
Would appreciate the help received in pointing me to the right direction.

These are really basic questions. I'm supprised you managed to flash a rom in the first place.
Full wipe in recovery, if you still could boot after wiping, like in your case, then you didn't wipe correctly. Your phone shouldn't be able to boot anymore after the wiping (because there is no more rom installed).
Then flash the rom. If there is no option for external storage (i think this is highly unlikely), then just copy it to your internal sd card and flash from there.
Are you really sure you have a custom recovery? Because the way you are descriping it, it sounds more like the stock recovery.

Thanks for the advice. Checked using recovery tool and it says current firmware: stock.
How do I make a full wipe. And also what about the manual mode I get in the recovery mode.
Can mobile odin be used for flashing.

Again, these are really basic questions. You should read the forum more, my guess is you have a I9500, so start reading in that section. Read the parts about rooting, flashing a custom recovery and flashing.
All the information you need is there. I can tell you the exact steps you need to take, but figuring it out for yourself will save you lots of trouble in the furture if anything goes wrong.
I have no idea what manual mode is, so my guess is that you don't have a custom recovery installed. What is the name of the recovery? Or doesn't it display any name? You shouldn't be needing Mobile Odin, maybe only for rooting or flashing a custom recovery, but not for flashing the rom.

Had read the forum before flashing the rom. Rooted my phone and had installed CWM via Odin and confirmed it in the recovery mode. And only after this flashed the Arrow Rom and used it for couple of months.
Don't know what happened to CWM it wasn't there this time in recovery mode, it showed Android System Recovery and not CWM.
Anyway have flashed CWM again along with Crash Rom 11.
Thanks again bro.

[URGENT] Unable to boot after modifying build.prop

Hello,
I was modifying build.prop, had made a backup and saved it in another folder in my phone, after modifying, I think it's because I've forgotten to set permissions or something, now I'm unable to bootup after rebooting.
Any idea how do I solve this? I've read online something about adp or something, but I've totally no clue about these.
Is there anyone who has a solution to this?
With sincerity
Xituc

If you did a backup and have TWRP, just delete the old build.prop in /system, move the backup there and set permissions. ;

System, data, internal sd, cache, what did you wipe? If you:
1. Wiped data/system :- you can only flash a new rom since you don't know ADB. Or flash stock via odin.
2. Internal sd :- that's it, flash stock firmware via odin.

Either reflash your custom ROM via TWRP (dirty flash and it'll keep your data etc) or do a stock flash via ODIN and start again. Can't remember if you can use ADB to restore your build.prop been an age since I used an N3.

My computer doesn't have my device in device manager when I've connected it, was unable to try using ADB earlier when I've tried, any idea why?
Anyway, can you direct me to a guide way I can do a stock flash via ODIN? I'm seeing so many threads in this forum but I've no idea which one is suitable for my phone.
Thanks!!

If you were using stock then you'll need to have a read around general and learn how to flash with ODIN. It's pretty straight forward, you can grab official ROMs from either here on XDA or Sam mobile/firmware. The link escapes my mind currently.
If you were using a custom ROM, download to your PC and use ADB Side load or download to your External SD Card and flash via recovery.
You can use THIS for ADB drivers, it's 15second ADB install and it should work for you.

Weird, computer won't have my phone's device show up...
EDIT:
In the development section, I see lots of roms, any idea which one should I download? I just want one which I can flash to and get my phone working again.
Thank you! I'm on SN-N9005 btw!
Can I contact you via skype or something btw?

For Stock you'll need the ROM for your region, this is quite important otherwise it causes headaches. For custom, it's entirely up to you, you can choose any TouchWiz based (stock look and feel - I personally recommend AllianceROM by @sparky b for TW based) Or AOSP based (Pure Android with no Samsung features - Temasek's ROM is stellar in this department and the new OMNIROM for the Note 3 will be superb once the dev has it sorted 100%, it's still being debugged and beta tested currently and dev tree's etc redone, stop by @jakew02's thread and have a read at where he is up to)
If you have the N9005 you'll be OK to use any custom ROM for that device. Just stay away from the Exynos (N900) ROMs as they won't work and will brick your phone.
I've recommended a couple of ROMs which are both Stable and feature filled plus one which will be great once fully flying. Other ROMs in the development section are just as great, however, I can only comment on the two I used solidly when I had my Note, and the one's I have ran on other devices. But ultimately it's your choice.

Flash TWRP Recovery and then boot into it. After that, you can WIPE your internal storage to free space. Then you don't have to worry regarding memory.

1- Flash twrp on your phone using adb.
2 -Boot into recovery but don't remove the usb connection.
3 -Clear all data, cache, internal, etc. (Do this only if you have backed up important data.)
4 -Have a stock rom (or the rom you are trying to install) downloaded on the pc.
5 -After you have cleared the data, move the rom from the pc to your phone.
6 -After the rom has been moved, remove the connection and flash it.
7 -Do this after you confirm everything works. (twrp, the rom, etc.)
Also, I urge everyone who wants to flash their phone to have stock android rom backed up on your pc, always.
In case anything goes wrong you can always flash stock rom and start over again.

-1- Download stock ROM on your PC.
-2- Boot into twrp, preferably through adb command. ('adb reboot recovery')
-3- Do not remove the usb cord, and once the device is booted into recovery type 'adb kill-server'. You don't need adb now but don't unplug your device from PC.
-4- Once into recovery, clear everything. (Data, cache, internal, etc.)
Note - This will clear everything, even the OS. If you don't have external sd card wiping external will result in error. Don't worry.
-5- Having your android connected to the phone, copy & paste the stock ROM folder into your internal storage on PC.
-6- After it has been moved, you can unplug your phone and flash the stock ROM via recovery.
You can delete the stock ROM zip file in your phone to free up space using any file manager, if you have said ROM backed up on your PC.
You will lose all your data so have a backup of important data. Also your phone will be made as new, so you will have to flash recovery again, root again, etc.
You can find stock ROM on 'techolite.com'. Just search 'a6000 stock rom updated frequently' and you will find it.
Download the one pertaining to your model.

A2017G V1.2 0B09 - Cannot install ROMs without Gapps

My phone is bootloader unlocked & rooted + TWRP but still using the original Nougat firmware from ZTE. Now, for some unexplained reason I cannot install any custom ROM that does NOT have Gapps incuded, like Resurrection Remix or similar slim ROMs without Gapps. TWRP just gives the usual can't install error.
Moreover, even if I install a ROm with Gapps successfully I cannot go past the 'Google verifying account' (have to wait for 24 hours) nonsense.
Any advise appreciated.

What's your TWRP version?
I guess you are installing the Universal Bootloader, right? Do you install a newer TWRP img after that?
Which are the ROMs that fail?
What's the failure error?
Have you ever formatted data? What's its filesystem?

Thanks for the response. I used Axon7 Toolkit for all actions, including boot unlocking (no idea which version Axon Toolkit installed). It also installed TWRP 3.1.1.0 alisa which I've had all the time.
The ROMs that failed were 'XenonHD-170609-Unofficial.zip' and 'Resurrection Remix' (RR-N-v5.8.5-20171108-axon7-Official.zip). Also I installed successfully 'A2017G(N-B06)_AROMA_SL!M2+DF!NR_by_raystef66.zip' which has Gapps included....but the problem was that I could not get past the google account verification, even though I know my google details. It says I had to wait 24 hours before signing in.
The failure error from XenonHD and Resurrection Remix ROMs was: Updater process ended with error: 7
Yes I formatted data each time I installed a ROM.
I don't know how to find out what the file system is.

I believe you forgot to flash the Universal Bootloader. That's an error on your end.
Basically, what the Universal Bootloader does is change your device's info to something 'universal' (it somewhat standardizes A2017s, A2017Us and A2017Gs into an intermediate so that you can flash any custom ROM on any of the 3). It also installs TWRP 3.0.2-N or sth like that. So basically you need to have TWRP-3.1.1-0.img on your phone, then flash the Universal Bootloader, then the modem for your device (get the latest from Raystef66's download center), then the ROM and whatever ZIPs you want to install (ALWAYS install SuperSU or Magisk or you'll get the internal storage encrypted and you'll have to format the internal storage every time you want to change ROM), and lastly Install Image - the TWRP.img - install to recovery partition.
You can get the Universal Bootloader from the LOS thread. There are also modem files for the 3 models but they are rather old, so just get the B09 modem from the download center

Yes and no
The Universal bootloader flashes an old TWRP version. After you reboot and enter the recovery again you will get an old TWRP. So to avoid this you have to flash the Universal Bootloader and then TWRP 3.1.1 or 3.2.1
That's the download center... I mean the LineageOS thread over at the ROMs section. By Unjustified Dev

Hi again, almost everything worked as per your suggestions except installing ROMs without Gapps as mentioned previously such as Resurrection Remix. I get the dreaded 'To Start Android, Enter Password' notice (pic attached). Even after putting a random password it comes up with 'The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt'. I did a factory reset but no joy. So it looks like I have to install Gapps also?. By the way my device is not encrypted.
On a different note, do you know of a link that has a mod for increasing the volume in the ear speaker so I can hear callers with a louder volume.

You have to format the internal storage, because it is encrypted. Do this:
You need to have Magisk 15.1 or 14 or SuperSU 2.79 ready. I recommend the latest Magisk. If you have an SD card, put it there. If not, leave it on your PC and have the phone connected.
Go to TWRP, Wipe, Advanced Wipe, Format data. Be sure that it formats as ext4 (it will say 'formating using make-ext4fs or something, if it says f2fs then leave it format and then use Change filesystem to ext4).
Right after that, install Magisk. If you have the SD card it's easy, if you don't, try to connect the phone to the PC, if it appears as a mass storage option then put it there and flash it with Install. If it doesn't appear as mass storage use adb sideload
NEVER leave the phone without SuperSU or Magisk! If you change the ROM, ALWAYS install Magisk or SuperSU right after you install the ROM. Otherwise you'll have to format the internal storage again the next time you change the ROM.

***Update*** I made a mistake in formatting SYSTEM instead of DATA. Now it works fine installing the ROM's I mentioned. You are a champ!
Now all I need is to somehow find a way to raise the in-call volume (ear speaker).

Thanks for the link, however I recently discovered that with the 'XenonHD-170609-Unofficial' ROM the in-call volume is pretty loud as well as the sound from the normal sounding speakers. It also has just about everything I'd want in a lite ROM. So far it's the ROM I'll keep.

Restore to stock ROM without PC

Is there any way to restore the stock color os without using pc?

Are you on a custom rom with custom recovery ( r2x2, twrp, etc ... ) ?

If you are in a custom recovery, then flash the stock recovery first. Keep the latest firmware of Color OS (ozip) from Realme's website downloaded into your SD Card. Steps:
1. Now boot to stock recovery.
2. Wipe internal storage from there.
3. Then tap on 'Apply Update from Storage'.
4. Select SD Card and select the ozip file downloaded and click confirm.
Yes, and your phone will boot up into the stock OS and thereafter if you wish, you can relock the bootloader and apply to exit in depth test to get future OTA updates.... Hope it helps !!!!!!

by following this mathod can i go back to color os 5.0 (i have locked bootloader)

You Can Try

If you already have a locked bootloader and installed pie-beta update already, then this process of downgrading might not work. However, you can try it. If that doesn't work you may have to install TWRP once again and clear the 'Internal Storage' in the Advanced wipe section again to remove your current version of Color OS, and then repeat the above mentioned process. Be careful !!! Do a full backup of your files and all personal info once again.
