[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Black Hpnotiq:
Mega Force it LOL

first my first mistake was not doing nano back up of the na7 firmware it came with. i couldn't figure out how to get the factory backup screen way. i know i'm noob to this stuff.

so i got frustrated. so when i got it hook up to the pc with odin 3.07 i check the nand erase all. which i didn't know what it really did till i realized it wipe it completely. LOL.

So i was like F-it. lets shove mk1 stock rom in right. So i use odin to download it in.

But the problem you will run in to is: it will take the downgrade but when it finishes booting up to the lock screen and you slide you finger to open it . it will show ui has stopped working. but you hit ok and it will go away but come right back. so i would hit ok then as soon as it disappear you have to hit the next command fast. no matter if it hitting the home button or the trying to get to the settings screen. Yes that mean you will be hitting ok the next command quite alot . it like it caught ADHD or something LOL.

But you can root it like this.

Next after i rooted it with Kingo. i used odin to flash twrp into. installed busybox , superSU and ota root keeper.

Now it took but i got sick of the for ui stopping. so i figured i miss a step. Now how i stopped the force UI stopping is a mystery.

Went in to the trwp recovery and I did a factory reset and did a full wipe. Went back to odin 3.07 reflashed the mk1 all over again.

Then a miracle happen it booted up normal and with no problem and NO force closes or ui stopping. Started up like a brand new phone.

The only thing was keyboard would not show up at all. Yeah strange stuff. Had to use a bluetooth key board to input my google email to get in to the google store. And download a different keyboard.

Reinstalled twrp, superSU, superperuser, bustbox, ota keeper and whatever other apps i wanted.

now i did a back up of this rom just so i can at least go back to good working rom.

If you want the OTA download: Download after the initial flash. because the phone doesn't see it as modified because i didn't do the root yet.

after the flash and if you get to the point that box says the ui is stopping and hitting ok alot just get to system update screen. i got to the update screen to download OTA.

once you start the download you can let the ui stopped box stay up because it downloading in the back ground and once ota is done. You can do a complete clean wipe. reflash mk1 again . and all goes well it come up as a clean install and like a new phone on MK1.

Now heres issue: one problem is the keyboard issue which i discuss earlier. but once i root and install the necessary apps and manually update the to NA7 it says modified and wont install.

Now you guys who flash all the time can find the steps i did and didn't do to make a better way to do it and help us Noobs to be better at this stuff. LOL

Hopes this helps the more veteran Dev guys to make a guide. I just winged it. My old military mind kicked in and said force it in there . LOL

Thats why we need someone who has taken a Mega L600 rom and customized.

I wish wicked rom or whoompa would make one .

Taking a gsm rom and flashing over to our L600 is something i don't want to try.

I read the forums and everybody say flash it but if you brick it or get stuck . the first they will say is it was gsm based and they tried it and it worked.

when i haven't seen no body yet use those roms on our model phone. and i check all over the net.

i even tried theme icons and cant get it to take either.

So i hope there is somebody out there can come to our rescue.
