Facin the same issue as you. Currently the only sollution i could find is flash Omar's rom over Pi-Llama. With this way you won't have bootloops.

After flashing I do a System/Cache/data/SDCard wipe and reboot. Then I enter Fastboot, connect USB to the phone, open ADB and flash Pi-Llama's system.ext4 and boot.img using a command which I forgot. I reboot again, wait for the system loads everything, reboot to CWM and finally flash Omar's over it.

The pre-install with Pi-llama 1.4 works also for 1.5, but as soon as i wipe data i have bootloop.
We need a "system.img.ext4" like on Pi-llama, than we can use the 1.4 script for install - i think this should work.

yeah would help some developers don't really show clear instructions on how to flash unless they too have know idea lol :') i remember the good olds days where all you needed to wipe was cache :') i miss them days

Asked for an ext4 system image in Omars thread, maybe someone can help.

Maybe its something to do with SD card tries everything possible just doesn't seem to work and developers won't do a clean flash on their own phones to check the problem

Hi, i have the some problem, I cant flash any modded rom after a rsd lite flash.
Any ideas, can you fix this problem?
Thanxs

Can Not get to work different roms from here

Hello,
Im writing here because im a newbie here and i dont have enough posts to be able to post in the actual thread under development lol.
My phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked..
I was on stock Att 4.1.1
So far i tried bootanimations and bootlogos and they are good. The problem is flashing custom rooms from here.
The only ones that worked for me are Liquid JB v2.9 and cm 10.2 from epinter..... im trying with PACrom and both of HoloBlur but no luck with them .... the pacrom stays in the infinite loop of the bootanimation.. the HoloBlur at first was looping in the bootanimation but then i did format sd via CWM and now it goes back and forward from bootanimation to "preparing desktop" and something about ASOP keyboard appears, so it keep doing that loop infinitely. I dont know what else to do.... Im flashing them via CWM
thx

try unmounting the cache in cwm before flash

I think is already unmounted because the only option says "mount cache"

Are you formatting the system under the mounts and storage option? You could also try formatting data and cache under that option too.
Another possible solution may be to install a stock rom (see Skeevy's thread on stock roms) before installing a custom rom.

Yes im formating almost everything i see under mounts and storage .
Trying to install stock roms is the same problem.
Im charging to full the battery to see if that one of the problems cause was less the 50%
Another thing is im not 100% sure how to install stock roms lol
Using just Rsd Lite and thats it ?
Trying Myth Tool maybe?
Or by using CWM like i tried with the Skeevys Mexico retail?
I pretty sure the answer is right here but everything i read is involving fastboot and adb

Are you using rsd or cwm to flash a stock rom? I have had no problem with flashing a Mexican Retail or Bell stock rom from Skeevy's stock rom page via CWM.You could try flashing via rsd or Myth Tools. Do you have a backup of your original rom?

Im only using cwm for stock roms, i tried to use rsd to flash mexican retail but it doesnt want to decompress.
the backup i had somehow got corrupted, something about md5 checksum
Also im having a HARD time trying to boot in recovery or in fastboot menu..

You could skip the checksum verification and just restore.

I managed to flash the stock stock untouched Mexico rom using RSD Lite modifying the xml.
I will try later some other roms to see which one will work now lol

I think that you can flash that Globe version too (just pay attention is it P or not (firmware and your phone), it is just difference in bloatware from that provider.
Try looking on samsung-updates.com too.

the problem with my phone is that i was running twrp and a custom rom tried installing carbon over it. it was a success but then i dont like much the carbon custom rom so i tried to reflash it thru recovery. boot to recovery using quickboot(phone got a busted volume keys) i found out that twrp was replace with cwm so i wipe data/cache/factory and flash it with cocore+twrp then reboot system and it got stock in boot logo. but i can go to download mode volume down+home+power. only problem is volume up isnt working lol. so i order volume keys waiting for it to arrive so that i could install it and try to fix my phone. i still dont know yet if i could go to recovery mode.
thanks =)

You should do reboot recovery option in TWRP. But still you can't go back from CM10.2 and CM11 to stock without repartitioning /preload partition. You will get bootloop too... You must flash stock firmware or use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612540

You was not planning, but you must repartition that preload partition. With that script or with flashing stock firmware.
P.S. If you mean ROM Pure Vanilla - it is based on stock ROM. It is themed stock ROM.

Try flashing the bell stock ROM, then Philz, then a custom rom. I assume your phone boots with the stock ROM properly and you receive no errors when flashing a custom ROM.

To clear something up -- does your phone boot after flashing a fastboot? If no, you need to format the internal sd and change it's mount point to /data/media (use Philz CWM to do all that) -- that's a common error after downgrading from a 4.2+ rom to a 4.1.2- rom.

Yep, just boot into recovery and make nandroid backup saved to the external sd before you flash anything (you risk wiping it accidentally if stored to the internal sd). That way if anything goes wrong all you have to do is boot into recovery and restore your backup.

[Q] PROBLEM!!! Can't flash anything bellow ics

Hi! I have an lg OB running ics 4.0.4(V30B). The phone it's rooted and I have CWM installed from Rom Manager. I can acces Recovery from Rom Manager and with the phone off ( VOLUME PLUS + G KEY). The problem is that I can't flash any Rom bellow ics (not even with Smart Flash Tools) without getting bootloops. I can flash Roms based on ics and above( IZS,CM10.1,NAMELESS ROM NIGHTLIES 4.4.4).
Could someone help me?

I was hoping you fixed the issue. I don't know what to do.
It's a matter of unlocking the boot loader. Once you do that, you can jump back and forth between ICS-based ROMs and everything else.
Gingerbread ROMs include the boot loader (marvel and Huexxx).

Man I can flash ICS-based ROMs .JB and KK, I can't flash GB stock or GB-based ROMs, not even with SFT.
I think the bootloader it's unlocked because I can acces CWM from switch off phone(key combo)....I am confused because i read many tutorials but they are contradictory

That happends also with me 2 times.
Just flash CWM recovery again.

I am from Romania so I need an Europe Open

No, I don't tried to unlock bootloader, but like you , I got the bootloops every time I downgrade from ICS, Nameless or cyanogen roms . I use original Froyo - flashed with SFT , then upgrade to GB with Cwm recovery patch- flashed with SFT, then boot to recovery and install Nameless. I will give you the links, once I uploaded to my dropbox.

Did you already try the alternative way without the app? Which means load the files to your sdcard and afterwards type the dd if=xxxx of=xxxx? This could show if it works or fails. And did you ever flash the LU5900 port? So the early ICS ROM released by Redy, Gabwerkz and me. Try the manual unlock first.

OK I have the terminal emulator on my phone.
I've read the thread and it says "Move this two files, bootloader and recovery to the root of memory sdcard;
Enter in the command line
su
dd if=/sdcard/u-boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
And reboot or reboot recovery."
I have downloaded all on my laptop(bootloader recovery and su) but I am confuse....what's with that "su"?
Do I have to put it on the root of the sdcard too?
Sorry for my noob question
