Hi!
I'm wanting to install that unofficial CM 11 for my international I9305, already running TWRP 2.6.3.0 on it and apparently i need to use the custom recoveries posted in the thread.
My question is though, how do i flash the .img files using odin, or an app, or is it possible to do with twrp itself booted up into recovery ? i've searched high and low, and just can't seem to find a straight answer - so here i am, bear with me, i'm tired
You can download an app called mobile Odin and use that to flash your .img files just using your phone!
You need to rename it to recovery.img for it to be detected though!

If there is another way than that, I'd appreciate it. I cannot purchase apps in the app store currently. So that's unfortunately a no go
CM 11 Q&A thread ???
As you dont have a clue about anything suggest you start by reading the basic faqs and guides before bricking your phone .
Basics read first.

Critical you read the first two posts .
Didn't see that thread at all until earlier as a second glance, i got plenty of clue though.
But an overload of information all pointing in different directions, each of them seeming to be correct is making me a little cautious when all i want is to know how i manually update my TWRP with the provided recovery.img file in that post, but i'll take my answer there instead for help.

Faqs flash zip via recovery flash tar via odin no if ands or buts .
But....! That wouldn't be a problem at all to flash, except what I was provided was a recovery.img file.. That's my hindrance currently
Flash it with mobile odin.

Probably a stupid question from a noob: everytime I see an interesting ROM I would like to flash, the instructions say use CWM and Odin. But both apps warn GT-I9001 is not supported. What am I doing wrong?
Use cwm 5 from arco.

CWM and Odin aren't apps! You are probably looking at something in the Play store and are on a completely wrong path.
Odin is a windows program used to flash ROMs/Firmware on Samsung phones. Odin version 4.43 is the one you need.
CWM is a recovery, a small bootable system that you install on a partition on your phone that you can boot into to backup or restore the phone.
Start by reading the Wiki and the Starter Guide.

Sorry for the long thread but please read and help me !
Sorry moderators i tried looking for my post didnt find where you placed it. so making a new and clear where i'll tell what i ve done to my tablet.
firstly my p1000 was froyo 2.2 and i didnt checked that and tried to upgrade it to jelly bean, that was the first stupidity of my.
while doing that i faced many problems and concluded that it was brick.
how ever i had rooted my phone with super one click root..
later when it was bricked i again rooted it with cwm recovery by help of cmd.
then it was more complex, i then tried to roll it back and installed the firmware but the firmware i installed was wrong region again it went more complex.
then from some thread, i again used odin and pit it and installed some other firmware. that didnt work so i did something with heimdall suite as it was instructed and mess something with zImage thing.. all failed.
now i ve finally came up with no solution and thinking what the mess i ve done.
please help me.
now odin dont recognize the phone.
the phone is booting till the samsung welcome screen i can also listen the sound.
it also goes to cwm recovery screen and also goes to downloading screen.
please tell me a way so that it can go to normal i am happy with 2.2 froyo only.
tell me a way, please give me download links so that i dont mess it again.
remember odin not accepting it, i ve charged the phone fully and also installed the samsung usb drivers but its not helping..

You can extract modem.bin from the rom that you have downloaded.

i did that... but still not able to make any calls. my sim card is working on other phone though.
have tried flashing modem.bin and also tried copy and paste in vendor folder.
but its not working searching all over the forum but i dont know what to do
Settings>about tablet>Status> Service state : out of service / Mobile network state : disconnected / MDN : unknown
Where did you get the modem.bin from and which network you belong to.
I recommend starting by looking at gb stock safe, when you unpack there are a few modem.bin
Start with JPZ modem and stick it in /radio/ if latest cm10
Or to /system/vendor for slightly older one.

in gb stock safe, it was jpz modem file.. which i used to flash and it was flashed very well and there was no problem in anything.
later on when i upgraded for 4.1.1 it was also installed normally with no problem the only problem i encountered is i cant make any calls from it.
even the imei number is changed of my phone.
i also sticked the file in system/vendor .. i tried with the both file the jpz which i had from gb stock file and another from the firmware.
well now i trying to go for the latest cyanogen 4.1.1 hope everything get normal in it, and try to stick file in radio.
can you tell me particularly which file to copy and where ?
in gb stock jpz worked fine.. should i go for it ?
yes the same jpz modem.bin file into /radio/modem.bin

I've been there and all over the web several times trying to locate these files. I have the firmware, but I have not been able to find or extract the files I listed above inside the firmware. I figured they must be in there but I couldn't get to them. Is this the file you were talking about?
T679LG3.tar
I have that and have tried to get the files I need out of it but haven't been able to. Is there a way to do that or were you referring to something else? Thanks for the help.

I am confused. What do you need this list of files for? What are you trying to accomplish with them?
I am also confused as to files needed. The link I provided will get you to stock via cwm or Odin. If what you want to do is build then the github is where to look.

Right I understand but I'm not using cwm or Odin at all. I'm sorry I'm not trying to be confusing I just need those files I asked for. If I can extract them from the firmware let me know, but I've tried that already. Yeah, let’s just say I'm trying to think about building a little maybe, not sure yet.
So the "github" is a place I can find these files? Where do I find the” github?” Forgive my ignorance I’m just getting going with all this. Again I’m not trying to flash to stock via Odin or cwm. Thanks guys.

OK, zimage is in boot.IMG , Google how to extract. The other stuff i don't know why you want to mess with that stuff, especially the boot loaders, those can get a hard brick. If you are just trying to compile a ROM, go to exhibit cm9 jocala thread and scroll to building instructions. Those are way out of date, but you can figure stuff out from there. github.com/arco is good, so is github.com/camcory, find files change them, whatever

First off, yes i'm a noob
Secondly, i apologise if this is a question that has already been answered but i swear i've been looking for a good while now and can't find the answer.
Thirdly, if this is in the wrong section then i apologise.
Now that i have that out of the way, onto my problem. I have recently purchased an HTC One and I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, i now want to i try out some custom roms. The trouble i seem to be having is that recovery mode requires you to flash a .zip file but whenever i download a rom, the end product is not a zip file but a folder that contains numerous other files that contain no zip file. I have still copied the folder to the phone but when i try to install through TWRP there is no recognisable zip file.
I have even tried converting said folder and files into a zip file and trying to flash that but to no avail.
I am downloading the files on a Mac, i don't know if this bears any relevance but i thought i should mention it.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Which rom are you trying to flash? and if it is downloaded into folders, surely making them into a .zip should make it flashable via recovery? if not then it's a bad rom?
I've tried several ROMs but the latest one I've tried is ViperOne. Well I thought converting it to zip would work also but no.
I never had this issue downloading or flashing ROMs to my Sensation or S2.

hmm not sure, im running rayglobe v 5.1 at the moment, maybe its a bad build? what recovery are you using?
Save link as
What's happening is your browser is unzipping the file instead of just saving it
Thank you very much for that, such a simple solution but its been driving me mad. I'll have a look and see if there is a setting to stop it from unzipping when it finishes downloading.
Thanks guys.

So i swapped this phone for my HTC One with a buddy of mine, and he had this 4.2.2 rom installed on it. He kind of told me what i needed in order to flash a rom. He said I need TFT and the rom file.
Well last night he was able to help me install TWRP recover with an XDA app that is floating around, he then told me that I can simply flash a locked bootloader from there, no Gapps or anything else needed.
So I did that, but now my wifi is not working and my Google account is not syncing, and I have no option to have it synced. So i asked the rom thread and was told that now i need to flash a certain kernel in order for my wifi to work again.
Coming from a regular flash and ready phone this seems like a headache to do each time i flash a rom. Last night i had made up my mind that i was going back to the HTC or possibly the S4. But now this phone is growing on me, i actually am starting to like it a lot!
My question is this, is there any rom out there that i can flash that will have everything working out of the box or do i ALWAYS need this TFt tool thing in order for my phone to work properly?
Please dont flame me and reply only if you can help me.
First, your friend might has done something wrong with your phone, although the TWRP seems working fine.
Second, figure out what your friend has done, in detail. So you know exactly the steps.
Third, look for a thread titled like "Xperia Z resources thread ... " learn everything from it so you can get basic knowledge about your XZ. Then analyze your problem based on the information of what your friend has done to your phone. In this step, you should have figured out what's wrong quickly and do something about it.
Answer for your question : flash stock firmware. Look for. 244 ftf file. Stock firmware always have everything working.

Thanks for the quick reply bro, can I flash this through TWRP or what do you recommend? I know that TWRP is working properly, but from what I reading i will always need some tft file ...I just want my phone to work like it should. Is there a ROM that you recommend? I am currently on monxDified.
I recommend a clean flash using flashtool and then flash your desired ROM. Monxdified is quite awesome. To get rid of all your problems, I recommend a clean install of your favorite ROM and kernel. Are you willing to do that? Because it will take some time to finish.

Thanks bud i read throuhg this now and located what I needed...kinda. I am told that I need kernel 244, and that i need tft to do this, yet in this guid it indicates that I can use recovery method to flash a kernel..
CUSTOM KERNELS ARE SPECIFIC TO ROMs...
you cant use stock kernel on CM ROM and you cant use CM kernel on stock ROM....
there are two ways to flash custom kernel
first download the kernel file... if it is a boot.img then use Method 1 (fastboot mode) or if its a update.zip file then use Method 2 (recovery)
See how this is confusing .....so is there such a thing as a 244 kernel zip file?

Hi.
First of all it's an .ftf file you need not TFT, and did he say the bootloader is unlocked or that you can do it if you want? You can flash certain ROMs on a locked bootloader but not all, so I would clarify if it is or it isn't. Flash a full stock ftf for now and go from there, it will be better off in the long run.
