HOW TO FALSH PAC ROM, IF YOU ARE A NEW ANDROID USER OR YOU UNLOCKED A BOOTLOADER FEW WEAKS AGO

Try this, slowly, carefully, exactly and in order.

1) Make sure you have a copy of the PAC ROM zip on your SD card.

2) Using Flashtool, install 4.0.4 in full, Do not exclude anything, all the wipe tick boxes checked.

3) Unplug your phone, do not turn it on.

4) On your computer, open the PAC ROM zip with WinRAR and DRAG boot.img to your desktop with your mouse. Close the ROM zip.

5) Holding volume +, plug your phone back in. The light will go blue. The Flashtool window will show connected in fastboot mode.

6) Open the Fastboot window in Flashtool and select kernel to flash. Pick the one on your desktop. Wait for it to finish (not long)

7) In the fastboot window, reboot phone into system.

8) Unplug the phone

9) The phone should start, if it doesn't then turn it on.

10) The PAC logo will appear. When the lights flash press Vol + and Vol - until the wobbly CWM recovery screen comes on.

11) do this from the menus:

Wipe data/ factory reset, then Wipe cache.

Go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache.

Hit back, go to mounts and storage, format system.

Hit back, choose zip to install, pick the PAC ROM from your SD card.

Leave the phone for about an hour alone.

Then install gapps from SD card using recovery. Pick reboot to recovery from power off menu.

You do not need xparts. The phone will go back into wobbly CWM screen. Choose zip from SD card. Choose gapps. When installed wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache again. DON'T FORMAT SYSTEM. Reboot.
