Help - Can't install custom roms

I've tried to install various custom roms but none of them worked. I've followed the steps on the tutorial and none of them booted!
So my steps were:
Upgraded to 2.3.4 using Odin.
Installed cwm recovery using Odin.
Went into recovery mode:
Tried both ways 1- wipe data/cache and then install Rom and boot. 2- installed the rom and then wipe data/cache.
None of the roms worked! Do I need to be on 2.3.6? Do I need to be rooted?
Please help!
Edit: yes in a galaxy mini!

For custom rom you need gingerbread 2.3.X doesnt matter what version so thats right BUT you need to wipe data wipe cache and wipe dalvic cache BEFORE and AFTER install custom rom!! Try it and it should work, and of cause you need custom rom for mini

Ok guys I found the problem! It was the cwm version! Installed the latest and it works like a charm! Now it's just the great task of installing different roms and let my girlfriend chose the "cutest" one!
I've heard that cm7 is the top one! Which roms do you recommend?

Are you guys sure, that you are having a P970? Not any other version of Optimus Black or Bright? Just wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik before the installation. Wait for the installation to finish, hit reboot phone and it should work properly. I cant explain it to myself otherwise...

Yes i got p970 2.3.4

Can't flash any other ROM

I have oat's CM10 installed but want to flash CM9 to use adobe flash. Whenever I try to install a CM9 ROM, I get stuck in an endless boot loop when I try to load it. I have tried the newest CM9 nightly and SGA's fat n creamy, and both get stuck in an endless boot loop. Here is what I do exactly:
Open TWRP, wipe system, cache, and dalvik, install ROM, install GAPPS, reboot.
Then it gets stuck in an endless boot loop.
Not sure if it matters, but every ROM I install (including CM10) can't find an MD5 file. Is this important? It doesn't seem to matter with CM10.

first - download a stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551586 :good:
and flash it via odin !
2- root u're phone ....(u know how )
3-install CWM 6.x.x.x.x u know it !
4-wipe data/factory reset
5-wipe cache partition
6-advanced->wipe dalvik cache
7-download the custom rom u want
8-install (and also u know how )
..............

I have been through the same problem and solved recently after 12 hours of trying.
ı suggest you to install a stock rom version 2.3.6 using Odin. I solved this problem making the same. I think I didn't read the intructions well before I had tried to upgrade my mini from 2.3.4 to 4.2.1 JB. I flashed 4.2.1 JB rom and it didn't work. Then I tried to restore with my original rom which I had previously backed up before flashing 4.2.1 but I couldn't get beyond the "Samsung Mobile" text. I tried flashing other custom roms but the result didn't change. Then I did flash the stock rom for mini and everything was allright. After that I recovered my backup.
Hope it helps.

[Q] about ROM JB Zaiben by Siauka

Hi all,
I have a problem with this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203700
I install the .zip file with CMW.
After wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, format system I reboot.
And the phone does not boot.
It stops at the LG logo.
Any solutions?
I tried also with TWRP

Dude 1st: format/wipe everything
2nd: install/flash rom

still nothing...
I install it again without re-flashing kdz
is it right?
or I need to flash the kdz, wipe all then install?
now I use TWRP recovery.

Probably now you have some kind of tutti-frutti of files in your phone...
Better flash your phone with .kdz or other method, after that follow the tutorial.

Did you flash from ICS? You need to be on V20 (JB) before you flash it.

Oh, just realised you stated you formatted system. You're not supposed to do that since /system contains the ROM, so it wouldn't boot past kernel logo.

Then what I could do?
Now I am on v20a with TWRP installed.
I need to reboot into recovery, do a factory reset, system wipe, cache wipe, data wipe and then install?
TWRP is the same of CMW?

I sugest you to use adb instead of terminal.
Once that you facrtory reseted the phone, check if you didn't forgot nothing... root, etc...
Try install SuperSU if you have Superuser.

hi, I'm back with another problem: how to remove some horribles lines from my screen??
they are appeared after restore from twrp recovery.
but they seems to be an hardware problem...
I don't know
the restore was needed because of another failed flash of the rom in the title of this thread...
