Can't install ROM

Hello!
I tried to flash Nova HD,CM 7.2,CM 10.1 over the official ics from lg,the installation goes well but after i reboot the phone i see no changes,the phone is just the same.
Until now i've flashed lots of custom ROMs without any problems but i came back to the stock ROM,but now i decided to change again my ROM but it just won't work :|
I dont know what happened,the phone is rooted and all are set up but i just cant flash any rom.
I did like 5-6 attempts but the results are the same..
Can anyone help me ?

Just found out that Paranoid Android is working.
But i cant say the same for the others ROMs.

You can't flash CM7 over ICS. Both ROMs use different bootloaders!
Go to the Development forum and use the AIO Toolkit to flash back the old bootloader, then you'll be able to return to CM7.

Thanks!
But what about CM10.1 and Nova HD?

Did you do a full wipe (Factory reset + format /system) while changing from ROM to ROM?

Yes,i did it all the time!

[Q] Updating from Stock ICS to Custom JB ROM

Hi guys, I'm acquiring a new xt890 and I just want to be sure that I can update it from 4.0.4 (ICS) to Omar's ROM directly, without flashing stock 4.1.2 via RSD Lite.
Basically, the procedure would be as follows:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Install custom recovery
3) Format everything via recovery (/data, /system, /cache)
4) Install latest Omar's build
5) Reboot
On my actual phone I have flashed stock JB after installing a custom ROM and now I would like to avoid this step, but first I need to be sure that it won't produce a hard brick.
So, I hear your suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

It can be a hit or miss! I originally had ICS and flashed Omar's Moto JB last year, but started to encounter a few problems after a few months of flashing, such as disappearing apps and root problems.
I then used RSD Lite to flash the latest JB and it managed to fix everything. (Downside = Annoying 'Unlocked Bootloader' boot logo)
The problem now is that it can be a hit or miss flashing certain ROMs... Either they will flash, or the won't. As Hazou mentioned in this post, there may be some differences between all our phones.
I've decided to keep the stock ROM, debloat it and use Omar's Gamma Kernel.

Thanks! I've used RSD to flash a stock JB Firmware before going to Omar's ROM. Everything goes fine this way, but, as Hazou says on the post you linked, I can't use TWRP to install it with the 'format line' in it. So I'm using CWM 6.0.1.9 and no problem so far.

LG P990 - blocked in CNW menu

Hello guys, I have a problem with my LG P990 , I tried to upgrade the android version using only the phone(looking automitaclly for updates) [Everything started from 2.2 version] , nothing found, I tried with lg mobile support and I did to 2.3.4 or something after that when I tried to update again it failed so what I did ? I had used the AIO-toolkit without knowing anything, anyway -/+ went in CWM recovery menu , did some scarry things there after I saw that its not any chance with all that options I went to youtube and saw what should I do ...
So.. I used usb storage, I dwnd ROM, gapps and supersu , installed them in that order , reboot system now, everything was fine and then again to CNW menu , then again .. and again CNW menu , and yes, I'm blocked there ,in the menu. What should I do ? I tried a lot of things, taking out the battery , used another rom , using - and + again doesnt work so im done.
If anyone has any idea would be great to hear your ideas, thanks and have a good day.
CNW-based Recovery v6.0.2.5 , btw.

You could still be on old bl while flashing new bootloader Roms. More info needed, such as rom you tried to flash, your current bootloader (pink or white lg logo at startup).

I tried cm 10.1 , after that I tried cm-10.1-20140112-NIGHTLY-p990.zip , which is the last one but didnt worked , supersu v1.25 . about logo .. its not pink , its just a normal LG logo ( that rounded logo((its kinda red, not pink)) in the left and LG near it ) .
If you want more info let me know, I dont know many details about phones and systems.
btw, after I'm installing rom,gapps and supersu ( I tried without supersu too) , I go for reboot system now it says S/W Upgrading and after restart its back on cwm menu

Ok, firstly you should try flashing never recovery (latest twrp or latest cwm by misjudged (both could be found on xda)) then you can try flashing roms. Are you sure you have p990 not p999 or su660?

Yes I'm sure I have P990 , what about never recovery? should I download cwm or latest twrp ?

It's up to you really, both do the jog

yea , but I don't know exactly what you saying about never recovery ? It's something to install from cwm menu ? or its an option in menu( in advanced options or something) . I'm noob.

Well, you have to install new recovery. You could do that by installing newer recoverys zip in the using the old recovery (just flashing the zip like you would flash the ROM or gapps) būt i can't say whether your version of recovery supports other recovery flashing. The other way iš using aio toolkit, option 2.

Anyway it worked to change the version but from this version I can't install any rom , cause of Error Status (7) or something like this, I'll still trying and edit my message.
btw, I cant use option 2 with nvflash , just with ADB , cause now my phone not working when I press + , - when its without battery and plugged in , yesterday it worked when I started to ''destroy'' it.

It worked ! I did it with SlimBean rom and gapps from this forum , 4.3 version . I don't think I wanna try again and change to new one, dont like this one , its nice but not perfect, but its ok, its working. Thanks for all your help.

bricked and recovered my exhibit (how did i)

I've bricked my Exhibit in the following scenario
- running 6.0.x.x (of CWM)
- and latest version of Lianaro CM (4.2.2)
everything was fine untill i decided to give a try to jfbs kitkat rom, which required me to
- use latest cwm (6.0.4.7)
after flashing the new cwm and flashing the new rom, the rom went in infinite boot loop... nothing seems to be happening
(after multiple clean wipe and clean installs , i was not able boot in)
and i decided to do restore (which also fails with insufficient arguement)
and finally get back to stock via zip (using the jacola's build), which also fails for same argument length issue
so i decided to get back to stock via odin
i flashed (back to stock ) using jacola's build, but ended up with bricked device
finally i figured out
- i need to downgrade by cwm (recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ancora.tar.md5) (Odin, OPS & recovery could be downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867870)
- and get the zip file, use odin to flash it (uvlg3.odin.zip) (url, http://d-h.st/1ao) (and it's listed on jocala's site (with mirror)http://www.jocala.com/extras.html )
( the keys of home and back would be swapped in this cwm)
(don't forget to wipe the cache/dalvik partitions)
you can strat again fresh with this phone....
All credits goes to the respective developers (i've just posted how i made use of them to unbrick my phone)

You're my hero now. HA!!! I was modding my phone off the PACman ROM as their are issues with the screen sizes (especially concerning emails), and encountered an issue where it wouldn't go beyond the Samsung Screen.

[Q] Custom roms won't boot.

Hi guys,
First of all, i made a new thread after looking for a solution for days and pretty much everywhere.
• My issue : i can't get any custom rom to boot. Everytime i flash one, i get stuck with endless bootanim
• so you know :
- flashing original firmwares from sammobile or stock based roms (i.e N4elite) with odin or recovery works perfectly. roms boot and everything work flawlessly.
- i tried almost every lollipop roms (RR, Nameless 2.0 and 2.1, cm12.1, asop, aicp)
- i tried different recoveries (CWM, TWRP, PSN_TWRP)
- i tried different gapps packages
- all downloaded files were good
- i tried wiping everything, even tried changing file system to f2fs (and reverted back to ext4)
- i guess flash memory is ok since Sammy roms work
- my battery is almost new, i changed it not so long ago
- i was running an early cm12.1 build and everything was ok, the issue occured when i tried to flash cm12.1 stable 3 build
As i'm now out of idea, any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks !

Hello,
I got the same issues ...
Trying to root the Stockrom results in the disappearance of baseband. Maybe this could help? I need to get some sleep first.
Regards
Heiko
EDIT: I thought maybe I fill in a bit more detail. I had CM 11 running which also flashed my recovery to cwm. So I used the TWRP Manager to install new Recovery, but I didn't check the Partition! So it didn't work as planned. Phone was in a boot loop and restartet every 5s. But TWRP via Odin worked. I wiped every partition available in Odin and installed Stock. Which seems to work without root.
CM 11 results in a boot loop.
CM 10.3 boots up, bud doesn't find the modem (same as Stock with root)
I hope there is some help. I like this phone a lot.

I did reinstall Samsung Stock via Kies.
And thank god that solved the Problem.
Restored my backup and everything is working again.

thanks for your feedback and ideas.
i tried to flash stock with kies, it ended with an error, but flashing stock firmware with odin worked, and everything was ok (including modem)...
for now i'm stuck with stock firmware flashed with odin
EDIT :
i finally succeeded.
- flashed old 4.3 firmware with odin without auto reboot
- the flash failed at the end
BUT
- manual reboot in download
- flashed TWRP tar
- reboot in recovery
- flashed 4.3 modem zip
let system boot
reboot in recovery
