I'm on cm7.1, and i was thinkig to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223 (Team ICSSGS RC4.2)
But i says i must have the gingerbread bootloaders. What is a bootloader? Do I already have it? If I don't, how do I install it?
Thanks!
You already have gingerbread bootloaders.
And how do you know that, and what's bootloader for?

CM7 is a customisation based on gingerbread .A bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run.Every Android phone has a bootloader that instructs the operating system kernel to boot normally and every manufacturer has their own version of bootloader specific for the hardware present in it’s environment.
Yes you will be able to flash your chosen rom.
You will also need Nexus drivers installed on your computer after flashing.
thank you, aaaaaaaaaaaand could i go back to cm7 rom again?

as far as i know you will need to use odin to flash the stock rom and the the cm7...
a friend of mine tried to go back from ICS to cm7 by nandroid (was too lazy to use odin) and bricked his phone even the download mode didn't work for him...
he needed to use the USB jack to get in to the download mode again...
Yeah like Mich says its always better to go back to a stock rom before going custom. I am using team hacksung (cm9 beta)and it says to flash back to cm7 you just flash rom twice.

So you say it wold be better to go back to stock before flashing again to cm7. Why? And wich bootloader do I have now that i flashed from cm7 to teamsgsics?
Thank you so much
pixelexip said:
So you say it wold be better to go back to stock before flashing again to cm7. Why?
because cm7 requires froyo or gingerbread bootloaders(like i said above it is built around gingerbread)
you now have a rom that is built around ics.

Yes, ok, So now i can flash to other ICS roms, but not to GB or froyo(etc) based ROMs. In case i'd like to flash back to froyo or gingerbread based rom, I'd have to use Odin(do you know any tutorial for that?), flash a stock rom, root it, and install-it by CWM recovery (would ODIN delete the CMM recovery?).
CAN I?
Thanks, I hope we help other people with the same questions.

Yes you need Odin to flash back to stock,just search you tube for many detailed tutorials.

Honestly, there really isn't. Each rom has its own little quirky issues.
PAC has no gps and a goofy Hangouts crash, wifi doesn't like to connect after the screen comes on (turn off then back on)
AOSPA works fine for some, not for others, no wifi for some
Slim has no gps, radio signal is bad, random wifi disconnects (fix like PAC usually, sometimes needs reboot)
CM10.1 gps...
All may have occasional lag, wifi issues, gps issues, random bluetooth issues, no camcorder, no HDR camera -- regular and panorama work
Its hit or miss at the moment. One nightly will be fine, next has crap battery, next has better battery but image banding...
None of them suck, but they might not be for you if you dislike development roms that may be incomplete or have a bug or two. Really depends if the bug is a deal breaker or not.
I still go back to clean ROM or the 4.1.2 mex jb ROM everything works and the batt life is a lot better . Also you can install cwm through ROM manager in the play store . Just use the photon q version . I have been able to flash every ROM with it . Make sure you back up b4 you start installing ROMs .

I see there is so called stock roms with boat ware removed but most seem to have lots of other changes are they really stable as in exactly like stock? I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

Most of the stock roms in the development section are quite stable and all the info about removed bloatware is also stated in the threads of those roms.
You can find your original stock rom at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305, according to your country and carrier (the country where you live is your official firmware, doesnt matter that you have bought it from ebay and what firmware it had on it before). After you download the firmware flash it with odin, but be warned about KNOX bootloader on 4.3 official firmwares! If youre not knoxed yet, you can update to 4.3 stock rom without getting the knox bootloader with this Rom.
If you prefer your own official firmware, you need to remove the bloatware by yourself using a file manager with root acces. Be careful with what you delete if you gonna do so! always READ EVERYTHING carefully and do lots of RESEARCH :good:

Yes thanks unfortunately I do have the Knox warranty void 1 message swerev a2 think it says as well I thought it might mean I'm in trouble. I hear you can't reset it so I can't go to any official firmwares now?
I really need stability I thought cm 10.1 would be stable but there's lots of crashes... by pretty stable you mean cm 10.1 pretty stable type thing for the boat ware removed roms? Want to find something near or as good as official...thanks.
EDIT: OK so hmm getting some mixed messages reading about it all but basically I went from 4.3 stock to cm11 then to carbon rom and finally to cm 10.1.3 so I think I can go back to stock 4.3 using any uk based stock from Sammobile? Not sure which would be best yet but I am with three so I might do the h3g one. Or possibly a rom with bloat removed 4.3 or above... Guess the warranty is gone now...and hopefully I'll be ok for any upgrades in the future...

Sounds good but I usually avoid new updates at first I prefer stability to a certain extent so you can't just update it? You have to do a fresh install? Anyway I'm on it now and it is very stable compared with the other roms I've used - very nice. Not sure if I did all the options correctly but I'll have to test...Still getting weird white patches on this xda form web pages in chrome...had this with every Rom I tried...not quiet so bad with this Rom but still there...strange only happens with this Web site too?!

If you have followed the instructions correctly then the most common problem is that you are not on eclair(2.1), but donut(1.6). Go to settings>about (or "about phone") and see the "baseband". If it doesn't end in 015 (xxx015) then that's what causing the problem.
Follow this guide to get to eclair (2.1) and try one more time to flash a custom rom, hopefully this time it will work:fingers-crossed:.

Yeah, that's normal, custom kernels don't work with stock rom.
Don't let the phone to start.
Boot into CWM (while on kernel logo hit the back button repeatedly) and install the rom. Also make sure to full-wipe, follow the installation instructions.
yes but if i dont see any logo? If i only see black screen?

Mate, you are contradicting yourself.
At first you mentioned that you had soft-brick while flashing the rom, then you mentioned that you had problems while flashing the kernel.
At first you mentioned that you had stuck at the logo, then that you don't see the logo.
Lets make things clear, have you followed the installation instructions?
What have you done exactly and were is your problem?
Have you ever booted on CWM?
If you read my first post again then you will find a guide about how to revive your x8 from soft brick, use it.
Look...i have tried 4 times...i only stuck at the kernel flashing...1 time with freexperia kernel i stuck on logo of fxp kernel...the other times with other kernels (i think alf and nAa (the wrong)) i only see black screen and vibration...i know how to revcover my phone...i flash mother rom with flashtool...i use only cwm...i know this things

If you mean the one that you can download from cm site then I think its better to consider flashing another cm7-based rom as there are better options.(like gingerdx, minicm, etc)
If I remember correctly this rom needs the FXP kernel.

Generally speaking, you will find this info at the first post of the rom's thread you want to flash.
Typical procedure for cm7 based roms is the following:
flash kernel(if the rom requires stock kernel you just skip this step, in other cases you flash the kernel that the rom works with)
boot into cwm
full-wipe(factory reset, wipe dalvik cache)(no need to wipe battery stats unless you have a problem with the battery percentage)
flash rom
(optional)flash gapps
first boot may take up to 2 minutes...
Ok..thanks... have you any suggestions for me but for roms with stock kernel...

If there is no kernel for Vanir with TWRP embedded, you can't use it. Custom recovery is embedded in same partition as kernel, so it can't be installed separately.

Thanks for the help. But that means TWRP will only embedded come with a kernel?
If yes, then can u guide me towards any kitkat kernels in which TWRP is embedded?
Thanks!

Exacly, TWRP will only embedded come with a kernel. I am not sure what kernel is compatible with Vanir AOSP, that has TWRP. You might look for ROM that has kernel with TWRP, and flash it with Universal Kernel Flasher. And be prepared to recover phone if you end up with a bootloop (flash same rom again if you can access recovery, or flash stock firmware).

You do not need to change it to find it, it is written in its post. I think that Omni has TWRP, and maybe Carbon. Ofcourse it needs to be 4.4 based. Look in Original Development and in Development section of our device part of this forum.

Carbon has CWM, but SlimKat has TWRP.
