Hey guys,
I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device - but for some reason, I cannot install ROMs.
When I access the recovery and attempt an install, it merelty aborts me from the process. I don't get it.
I believe the problem may be due to an accidental OTA update - but every time I try to rectify this with a factory reset, the update occurs automatically, before I am even granted access to the phone. Heck, every time I turn the device on, it says "android is upgrading".
Has anyone ever experienced this? Any idea on a course of action? The stock firmware just eats my battery like its a buffet.
Take a backup in twrp(data , system , boot) , take a titanium backup of ur apps..
Download the rom and gapps.
Go to recovery and wipe >advanced wipe > system, data, cache and dalvik cache
If it's a 5.1 Custom rom, flash cm 12.1 boot img or 12.1 rom first.
Then wipe , system, data, cache and dalvik cache.
Flash the Downloaded rom And gapps , it will take 5-10mins to boot up at first.
If ur gonna flash cm13, directly flash it (if u were on lollipop) , no need to flash cm 12 and then cm 13
If ur experiencing any errors, post a screenshot of the error.
Hope this solved ur problem

Hi everyone,
Newbie posting here.. I've had my share of flashing Roms a few times (say 4 or 5 times) but i stuck with cm 7.2 when they released the stable mod for the i9000.
Now i see that the cm9 stable mod has been released and i definitely want to try that out however, I'm not sure on how to go about it and I don't want to do anything stupid. Don't get me wrong, i've tried reading around through different sites and forums but all the mix and match methods of flashing and installing has gotten me confused..
My main question is, how do i flash to cm9 from cm 7.2? naturally i have cwm installed and can boot into cwm recovery. Am on the XXJVK baseband with the pawitp kernel. Not sure if i have to donwload new drivers (since the base ROM is going to change)...
Do i just place the zip file for the cm9 mod in the internal sd storage? could you guys help me out and let me know if this process is correct:
1) save zip file in internal storage (both cm9 and gapps)
2) do a nandroid backup
3) boot into recovery
4) wipe data and dalvik cache
5) install the package
6) wipe data and dalvik cache
7) install gapps
8) reboot
Once it boots up, i'm assuming it'll be running cm9 already.. could you guys help me out and let me know if this procedure's correct? sorry for the noob question but i'd rather just make sure and ask you guys first.
thanks in advance guys! cheers and more power!

wipe date
wipe cache
wipe delvik cache
then flash rom nd gapps
wipe cache nd delvik cache again.. good luck..
Best and most reliable way to do this is flashing through stock rom via Odin. Then flashing kernel with CWM Recovery via Odin. And only then flash CM9 via CWM.
thanks for the quick reply guys. will try it out tonight and update this post. hope all goes well.
cheers!

and if u want u can try chimera rom from team passion.. it s combination of cm9 and AOKP.. It s stable and fast..
took me less than 10 minutes to flash to cm9 and it's as snappy as i thought it was. now to fix up everything and check if everything's okay.
so far, wifi and network signal are working fine and dandy. might just have a go at that chimera rom.
I'm want get the current cm10.1 nightlies to run on my n7000. I'm using cm-10.1-20130511-NIGHTLY-n7000.zip with 20130301 gapps package but the furthest I can get is the welcome screen. Selecting my language will freeze the phone. I've tried re-installing wipe cache, wipe data etc.. even retried to whole install a few times but nothing works. Any ideas? Sucks cos I just finished a mod on my p7510 to display now playing in status bar and want to port it over.
that is an unclean install,
on cm kernel on its recovery format system, data,preload cache an dalvik and reinstall. also make sure you have latest gapps for that version

Heres what I'm doing:
Flash abyss kernell (I have emmc bug and have had to recover from it twice now),
factory reset,
Flash cm10.1 in order to install kernel and recovery a reboot recovery,
Now in cyanogen mod recovery:
wipe cache,
wipe dalvik cache,
wipe system
wipe date,
wipe preload,
re-install cm10.1
install gapps 20130301 (the latest gapps)
what can be going wrong?
thats pretty thorought. I would recommend not abys but cm kernel instead.
tried it with both
Then I dont know. What gapps version are you flashing?
I havent read it being an issue with latest cm, maybe bad download? md5 matches download?
Also try on stock gb rom (for your phones csc), if none of above, if with emmc brick check app some sectors are damaged. Thats what I would do. If damaged, or still weird lags check warranty.
Using the 201301 gapps from goo.im. Downloaded a few times now same issue, its probably my phone as partitions are a little strange from emmc recovery.
Was flashing my friends i9305 and now it wont boot any rom I flash... always gets stuck on the first boot screen until I take out battery.
I flashed CWM 6.0.4.7 using odin.
I have tried flashing several roms (CM 11, CM 10.1, PACman 4.3)... Each one will flash with no errors, then when I reboot after correct GAPPS it just gets stuck on the loading screen forever and won't boot up into ROM.
Wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system > Install rom from zip, install GAPPS from zip > reboot (even here I wipe system/data/cache - still doesnt work).
Any ideas on why it won't load up the roms....

Well I figured it out... since it was never flashed or anything before (from stock rom)... I just went into the Mounts and Storage menu, and formated /cache /system /data manually and it finally worked.
Hope that helps
After installing latest cm11 my phone cant boot into recovery. Or cant boot the rom, even the boot logo of cm doesnt show up.
What i did before;
-Wiped system/cache/data (all f2fs)
-Flashed the latest cm11
-Wiped dalvik cache and boot
-After doing first config. Realized i didnt flash gapps
-Boot into recovery wipe system/data/cache
-Flash rom again, and latest pa gapps, wipe dalvik
-Boom, phone wont boot and cant get boot into recovery.
Tried flashing twrp via odin, latest cm11 with odin and neither of them worked. Can someone help me, please? Thank you.

Don't know, I only remember a old advice from an old friend here, that's it. I never wiped the system, though. Good luck bud
I just updated my bootloader and whenever i try to flash a rom, the booting process takes forever until i wipe my phone myself. But when i flash Andro X rom than it takes max. 3min to boot and then it works.
But i want another rom, how do i fix this?
Do you mean that when u flash lollipop based rom it gets bootloop? if yes then first flash stock lollipop firmware and then try flashing other rom. I mostly wipe my internal storage when going from Kitkat to lollipop it works for me.
Well Firstly Explain your problem clearly (I didnt quite understand it)
OK so here's my solution from what I understood..
1. Restore your stock rom Backup from recovery. Boot it once.
2. Now clean flash (Wipe System, Data , Cache, Dalvik cache) a lollipop based Rom (preferably try to clean flash cm 12.1 build)
3. Dont flash Gapps. First see if your phone boots up properly.
4. Configure data and reboot to recovery and flash Gapps.
If you dont have a Stock backup, Then download Stock Firmware images from gregor's thread and install via fastboot. Then follow from step2.
Hope this helps you.

Use easy installer first and get stock lollipop then u can simply root and install recovery then try roms?

My problem is that when i try to flash roms like CM12, Blisspop it doesn't stop booting, it was taking more than an hour so i shutdown my phone and when i flashed Andro X the booting took around 3mins.
So can anyone explain in easy steps how to fix this?
OK now I understand what your problem is. Give me your full specs (like which Model and and stuff). But if you follow what I said above it might fix your problem.

are you fully wiping cache and userdata (factory reset) because this is most common problem moving between Roms that causes bootloops and why I include factory reset in my easy installer.
you can only dirty flash when going up (upgrading) the same rom - changing roms or downgrading nearly always causes bootloop / hang.
