[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you don't have kit kat then ignore that first question.

1)internal is in the device, external is the microsd card that you put in the phone. Save everything from internal that you want to keep, no need to save anything from external, it won't be touched during any of this process.

2)no, make sure you have USB debugging turned on, connect to PC with device already in download mode using stock USB cable and Odin open. If Odin recognizes the device click AP then go to where the stock firmware is on your PC and select it, then click start in Odin, you get a green PASS if it flashes successfully then the device will reboot.

3)must be in download when connecting to Odin

4)flash the CWM in Odin, put it in the AP slot like you do with the firmware above, make sure autoreboot is UNCHECKED, you don't want it to reboot when done, click start, when you get the PASS, boot straight to recovery with the button combo(volume up+home+power), if it boots to system or download mode and you miss recovery you will have to flash CWM again in Odin, you have to get to recovery immediately after flashing.

5)do the wipes in recovery

6)No, you don't flash the firmware in recovery, stock firmware is a tar file, recoveries use .zip files, your ROM must a zip not a .tar. You will also need a gapps(Google apps) zip file to flash along with the ROM, 4.4 ROM needs 4.4 gapps, 5.0 ROM needs 5.0 gapps, 5.1 ROM needs 5.1 Gapps, whatever android version the ROM is the gapps will be the same version, download the ROM zip and the Gapps zip and put them both on your extsd card. Flash the ROM first then the Gapps and reboot and your good, don't forget to do the wipes in recovery before you flash the ROM and gapps.

If you need more explanation just ask
[General Questions and Answers] Buratei:
I loaded up chroma + gapps + oxydo-revamped + superSU, was stuck in a boot loop as expected. Got back into TWRP, strangely it said something about not being able to mound SD card (to be exact, data partition didn't respond to manual mount). changed data partition from ext4 to f2fs and it seemed to recognize the sd card, so installed chroma again after another factory reset.

This time around I just installed chorma and nothing else. upon next reboot, I was asked to put in a password for decryption, and when I did it said decryption unsuccessful due to data corruption. My only choice at this point was a 'reset tablet' button. hitting this button reset the tablet, and seemingly attempted booting into TWRP but failed and got itself stuck in a boot loop with the google logo. Then I did a manual reset to get into the TWRP recovery, only to get thrown back out to the dreaded bootloop: the moment teamwin logo shows up, it resets itself.

I am guessing fastboot is the only way out, never done that before though. Looking into it as I am typing this.

update: tried reinstalling twrp via fastboot and still reboots itself at the teamwin logo

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

update2: wiped in fastboot, flashed twrp and we are back in business now :D

just one thing though... when I was installing blisspop earlier, one of my attempts included wiping the user storage and copying the backed up data from a hard drive within windows (using windows explorer). I wonder if that had anything to do with this encryption orgy?

update3: did blisspop flash - reboot - gapps flash - reboot - oxydo flash reboot sequence with factory wipes in between. still stuck only after oxydo flash. I guess I will be going back to autodroid for now :(
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
After taking a second look at what you are doing I have to ask. Why are you flashing a modified rooted stock ROM then recovery and then flashing a custom ROM and Gapps.

If you want to have root and recovery to be able to flash custom ROMs then you didn't have to get there the way you asked about. All you had to do is be rooted and have TWRP or CWM and then flash a custom ROM and Gapps zip through that recovery, the firmware flash in Odin wasn't necessary I think.

1)When I am actually using the phone , the phone works fine...but when my phone is on sleep mode(screen off) my phone will restart by itself...

2) the phone also shows 'no service' whenever I use a sim card, that very sim card works in my lg g2 but not my note 3...

Note 3: tried on stock 5.0, a few custom rom 5.0.2 + a few custom kernal , the problem remains the same

[General Questions and Answers] Buratei:
ok, it definitely has something to do with copying the backed up user data from a remote location back onto the sd card. I did a restore from a known working nandroid backup, copied all my data back and now I can't get into recovery again. autodroid does boot all the way but doesn't load desktop background and crashes/reboots itself a few seconds later. what could possibly cause this?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Sounds to me like you need to go back to square one and just reflash your stock firmware, with everything you've done there is no telling what kind of a mess you have made, better to start over from scratch.
[General Questions and Answers] olga.bio:
Hi everybody,

my question is somewhat specific to the Avatar ROM (4.2.2 based). Does the ThemeChooser / Design Manager App which comes with the ROM reliant on GApps?

To give it more contex: Yesterday I've flashed the ROM n my Nexus S, everything went fine, the ROM is fantastic and I've seen no issues but one. The Theme Chooser has 2 themes in the "installled" tab, but when I go to the "online" tab, it says "processing" for couple of seconds and aafter that leaves me with no themes found. I have not flashed GApps (yet) since I want to try how well I can do without. So might the latter be an issue?

I might try flashing GApps today evening just to see if this solves it...

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There are theming apps all over the playstore for that.
[General Questions and Answers] sgt. meow:
I fully agree. Although I have some confusion regarding what you did, I am fairly certain you did something like restoring app+data (probably from Titanium Backup??) from a different location after installing some ROM. That may not play nice with the new ROM and there may even be conflicting files and such that are prime reasons for instabilities and reboots.

That being said, not being able to boot a kernel that doesn't even come with a packed ramdisk (oxydo is AnyKernel for what it's worth) is just absurd. I don't have the exact changes made to the kernel for that build accessible to me at this point in time, but I'll try to get back to you ASAP. Meanwhile you can try some of my older versions (not many for the revamped series) from the Dropbox folder and see if any of them works for you.

HTC ONE M7 ViperOne9.0.0 NO IMEI AND SIM DETECTED

Hi, i recently install ViperOne 9.0 roms and when i turn on the mobile i saw that isn´t any SIM recognise ,so then i check my IMEI and it say that is unknown. Any idea why that is happening?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Restoring with your stock firmware is the easiest thing to do.

But if you want to keep what you have and get IMEI back you will have to look for information for how to restore IMEI for your specific model number, the methods of restoring are not the same for all devices.

What is your model number? I'll see what I find for that model, also tell me what ROM you flashed.

Have you checked to see if your device needs an updated modem to use the ROM you flashed?

It would also be a good idea for you to post your problem where you got the ROM from, they would have a better chance of helping you.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

The ROM thread you got it from would be better for you to post your issue in.

You could also use an xposed module to enable transparency on the status bar if your not comfy using apk tool and editing xmls on your phone. ☕?

Okay, so I've been doing tons of research and now I've been able to flash two different Alliance ROMs and I love it. However, this current one has been really draining my battery life, so I'm kind of thinking about trying a different one.

I've also been thinking about going to Lollipop since I downgraded back to KK, but Lollipop is very laggy for me (T-Mobile phone, maybe?), so I'm wondering if I just upgrade again through Odin and then maybe there's a Lollipop ROM that's possibly more stable? This is where I'm a little lost. I've been trying to read through my device section here, but man, there's a lot of different threads, haha.

Try an optimizable custom kernel like Decimalmans dkp kernel, its good for getting good battery life.

Lollipop has more system stuff to run in the background than Kit kat had, its quite a bit heavier but it can be stripped down some if you want.
[General Questions and Answers] HybridxReality:
I'll definitely do that then! Thanks!

So there's no problem upgrading the OS to Lollipop? I don't think I'd need to back anything up like when flashing ROMs.

official roms for your device are here.

they are not posted by google as you suggest, but distributed by Samsung.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
First, let me make sure I'm on the same page with you.

Are you rooted and wanting to flash a lollipop ROM or are you wanting to flash stock lollipop via Odin?

If you are rooted and using custom recovery then just find the lollipop ROM you want then find the dkp kernel if there is one for your model number.

If you are wanting to flash stock firmware via Odin to upgrade then give me the build numbers for the stock firmware build number that your device came with when you got it and any other stock update or firmware build numbers you've had on it in the time you've had it, I need to verify the device's model number as well, depending on your model number and depending on the builds it has had, these might be a factor if you are thinking stock upgrade.

Have you tried with other ROMs?
[General Questions and Answers] Buratei:
kinda odd really... I guess I left out too much detail leaving everyone confused.

The nandroid backup I mentioned was a working autodroid image made within TWRP recovery.

Eventually I got it up and running again with that image. Out of the three times I got to use that image, it only failed once. The difference was, I am thinking, something like this: when it didn't work, I copied all my previously backed up user data (as in "sd card", not "data") from my hdd (using windows explorer) while the tablet was still in TWRP recovery. The other two times that worked, I first recovered the data/system/boot then did the reboot, copied user data once the tablet booted in autoroid.

When chroma was asking for a password to decrypt, I think I was doing the same thing as I did when nandroid recovery failed: restore (manual file copying from a windows computer) sd card contents within the recovery before a reboot.

I did try blisspop+oxydo and orion LP+oxydo a few more times, only to hang again after flashing the kernel.

Ive got a few questions. They do not relate to one another so i apologize in advance if this bothers you. Firstly, ive been studying up on different firmware versions for my phone and i keep seeing people post about whether or not a specific version is compatable with "XXU". I notice there is a varient of my device that has "XXU" in the firmware version but i cant find an answer as to what those letters are signifying. Can somebody please shed some light on this for me?

Question #2 is this: Does anyone know where i can download a cool looking boot image for a rooted galaxy grand prime 530AZ or 530H? Also, are boot images device specific or not?

And lastly, could somebody recommend some ROM's, tweaks, mods, etc for a grand prime 530AZ or 530H? (Ive found that many 530H modifications also work on my 530AZ, and yes i kno this is rare and not recommended).

Boot image is the kernel. You mean a boot animation, or a splash screen maybe?

Do not install random boot images, that is the kernel and very device, rom, specific.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you want to remain on stock and just want to remove bloatware then try using Titanium Backup, it has a feature for removing system apps but I suggest you look for a "safe to remove" list for your exact model, if someone has posted a list like that for your model then it will tell you what can safely be removed without causing a problem, if you remove the wrong thing(s) you can really mess your device up and will need to restore it.

If you want to be rooted and get rid of stock completely then you can install a custom recovery and then install custom ROMs if any exist, I prefer custom, they don't have all the bloat, they are usually faster than stock, they have more customizable features than stock, also with custom recovery you can make full backups of everything on your phone so that nothing important gets lost if something goes wrong or the device gets broken, you can also restore those backups to return to everything as it was when the backup was created.

Its your choice, let me know which way you personally would rather have it, whether debloated stock or custom and I'll help you get what you want.
