you don't have to buy antoher phone, it's just the software not hardware
do you backup first before applying the theme(at least titanium backup)? you can flash from smartflash with these stock roms

now after smartflash done you can
1. setting your phone like language, location, dll
2. restore your backup(if you use titanium backup) if not then you must do install again your
apps or at least you already save your apk using appsaver
there is the tutorial how to flash using smartflash

I suspect your initial problem was that you didn't wipe the phone before installing the MoDaCo ROM.

Before I install a new rom or restore a backup - I always make an (I call it) extended Fullwipe. So I can be sure that the system is fully clean.
Here is the way how to do it:
Go to CWM recovery and run the following steps
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
->advanced
wipe Dalvik Cache
wipe Battery Stats
<- Go Back
->mounts and storage
format /cache
format /data
format /system
<- GoBack​
After that you can choose "Install zip from sd" or "Backup/Restore"

i done all that stuff and when i try to install the stock rom, it says
Finding update packaage...
opening update package...

and after a matter of seconds
Installation aborted...

Ohh...that's a pitty!
Which stock rom package do you want to install and which version of CWM do you use?
Have you tried to install the stockrom with the smartflash-tool?

[Help]Stuck up with Recovery!!

Hi all,
Got a strange problem.. I'm using Nik project x v4.1 with .11 radio...today i got poor network signal, so I flashed radio again n it's working fine.
Then I planned to flash xcs kernel 2.2 and faceunlock for this Rom.
When I am recovery, I got message like. "You are in safe mode, please wipe cache. If u flashed hboot.img then format system"
I took nandroid and
1. fixed permission
2. Wiped cache
3. Format system
4. Flashed both zip files
When everything got over and upon clucking power menu->reboot got alert
"You are In safe mode. Unable to access system partitions. Please format system partition except sd. Reboot in recovery. Yes or no"
I clicked no and followed steps to install new Rom (wipe data factory, wipe cache n dalvik, format system, format partition except sd )restored my nandroid backup and again got same message that
"You are In safe mode. Unable to access system partitions. Please format system partition except sd. Reboot in recovery. Yes or no"
Please help me. Worrying that my mobile will be bricked. Please guide me to get rid off this..
Edit: I clicked reboot and my mobile booted normally. But under power menu, on clicking reboot, got into same problem. Please help me to avoid this. Worry something wrong in my mobile!!

When you formatted the /system partition, you wiped out Nik's ROM and then you only flashed a new kernel and a patch. That is why it you get the Unable to access system partitions.
You need to flash Nik's ROM again, then flash the kernel and then flash the patch.

Thanks tpbklake. Before formatting systems partition, I have taken nandroid backup. I restored nandroid but after that too, I got same alert.
Ok, I'll start from beginning. After flashing Nik Rom again, can I restore data.img from my nandroid.?

You changed the radio. Either gb -> ics or ics -> gb and this causes some change in the partition layout that's why recovery is asking you to format. What I don't understand is why you didn't just format the cache partition like it told you to. It would have saved us all some time.

I haven't changed the radio of two different versions. Earlier I was in ICS radio .11M and again flashed the same ICS radio..11M) Yes, I did cache format as well as instructed.
While flashing radio which supports same OS version, am I need to wipe cache or its not required?

If that's what the recovery is telling you to do, I would be inclined to agree.

Solved - Can't boot any rom

As the title says I can't boot any rom but the stock one..I have tried omar rom, pi-llama and Jellyaosp but none of them booted succesfully..tried reistalling stock rom many times with rsdlite but nothing really changed..any help?

I was on omar rom without any problem but then I installed stock rom and after that I am not able to boot any rom..the procedure is boot in cwm-factory reset-install zip-delete dalvik cache and restart..it reaches the bootanimation and then restart again

That's called bootloop. I think deleting dalvik cache is not enough, delete cache and user data also.

Did you install stock 4.0? Same thing happened to me when I did it, well at first at least... after a while it did not even load motorola logo, instead it straight booted to recovery, now nothing. I predict same will happen to you as it looks it can't charge power in this phase.

1)my phone had EU when I bought it to I installed this one(JB)
2)boot phone
2)flash pi-llama ( https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1B_XT-wuJoNcTFBa1M2TzgyUGs/edit?usp=sharing thanks to FourOne82, run instalador.bat)
3)enter recovery(volume down and then volume up)
4)flash latest omar's rom(I previous said you should flash the 2/9 version but i was wrong..you can flash any version you want)
5)clear cache and dalvik cache only
6)boot phone(it will boot )
7)delete /data/alsa folder with root browser
8)reboot and you are done!

Flash Pi-llama 1.4 on fastboot, open ADB and type : fastboot flash system NameOfTheSystemImage.ext4. Download the latest stable ROM from Omar and flash it through CWM and you'll boot sucessfully.
From what I know, this problem happens because of the lack of some data at /data. If you wipe other partitions and install a new ROM, everything will be ok, but if you mess with /data you'll get bootloops.
I was on a clean flash from Omar, performed a factory reset and the bootloop thing start to happen.
I wasn't happy with stock and tired of waiting a fix from someone, so i decided to sell the phone.
Hope you guys find a way to fix it

That it's normal, there're custom roms that come pre-configured (necessary for booting)... when you do the wipes you break that initial configuration (necessary for booting) and that's end in bootloop

does this loop happen to every ace user after wipes.
why intial configure break in just wipes.
i have to reflash the rom or restrore nandroid all the time after wipes.
is there any other permanent solution for this.

Yes... about this, could @Mardon inform you in a better way
Our ace hasn't much internal memory, neither official Samsung 4.x versions, also when you do a "wipe", you format partitions as; /system, /data... they contain important information for the boot, these information isn't permanent and is deleted after that so, then our Ace can't boot

I completely agree with what @Viper The Ripper said. Most custom roms comes with preconfigured boot settings some of which are installed in the data part too. These preconfigured boot files are usually installed during your first boot which is why the first boot of any custom rom takes some time. So as long as you do a Wipe Cache Partition, you will have no problems. But if you do a Wipe Data/ Factory Reset or Wipe Dalvik Cache, then it will delete the preconfigured boot setting files. So next time when you restart, your phone cannot complete the booting because of the missing files and hence your phone gets in a bootloop. You can still solve this by reinstalling the same rom again from the recoverymod so that it can again reinstall the preconfigued boot setting or restore a nandroid backup to restore the boot settings. Hope I helped

Flashing other roms than Andro X doesn't work

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.

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.
