custom roms failure, huh?

I loaded the custom roms via recovery, not via odin,

so i go into recovery mode via TeamWin, wipe everything and load the custom rom, message says "successful" and i reboot system, that's it

the phone hangs into one of the boot animations and never finishes, left it for longer than 30 minutes, all of them , nothing loads.

go back the same custom roms but with android 4.3 and first shot, loads fine, all of them, same ones that won't load the 4.4.2 load the 4.3

most custom roms load via recovery not odin -

last try was load samsung original firmware 4.4.2 via download Odin, then root then install teamwin recovery. - worked fine

now removed it and reinstalled Thor 4.3 (thor 4.4.2 doesn't work) but tomorrow i'll wipe it and reinstall the samsung 4.4.2 unless you have an idea

*i hope)

sorry about the capitals - NO IT IS AN EXYNOS UNLOCKED GT-I9500 - almost a year after playing with nova settings, xposed and about a dozen custom roms, i THINK i know it's a 9500 - skip the silly suggestions - we're all noobs but not necessarily all boobs

thanks for your help - appreciated if we can solve it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exlaval:
custom roms failure, huh?

roms were downloaded exclusively from GT=I9500 AREA -

i don't go anywhere else because i know beforehand that they won't work - so why bother

thanks for your suggestion but obviously out of context - i don't live in the US in addition

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exlaval:
funny 4.4.2 roms

i usually use teamwin version 2.6.3

and funny thing in one of the wipes even the teamwin was wiped so i wound using the regular android recovery, with the tiny tiny blue characters

that doesn't have all the teamwin recovery options - so even then it failed

after installing the saunsung 4.4.2 i downloaded a fresh teamwin version and installed via odin/download - like starting from zero. guess what

nope even then the roms freeze at the bootanimation - but the joke is ONLY IF THEY ARE VERSIONS 4.4.2 -they work fine with version 4.3

and when i mean wipe i mean wipe - cache/dalvik/system/internal - and even the other option where you have to type YES for the wipe to go on.

short of reformating the whole memory which i think is excessive, i THINK i tried with a clean clean memory install (according to me)

thanks for your patience

btw most of the custom roms install via recovery so there's no way to get a download install version
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertostorm:
Once you flashed stock 4.4.2, your bootloader gets updated, so you can only use 4.4+ roms, also TWRP is full of bugs, just use cwm 6.0.4.5 and you're set.

Also, did you root the stock 4.4.2?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exlaval:
custom roms failure, huh?

as i said in a previous message - i used odin in download mode and flashed an original samsung 4.4.2 and it worked, i rooted and reinstalled teamwin

AFTER ALL THIS I tried to install one of the 4.4.2 custom roms - IT FAILED CONSISTENTLY - BY THIS I MEAN ALL ROMS DIED AT BOOTANIMATIONS - AND ALL FAILED TO START

thanks so much
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayedarts:
Try with latest Philz recovery or any up to date CWM recovery.

And when coming from stock, you generally have to FULL wipe you phone
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exlaval:
custom roms failure, huh?

just downloaded cwm version 6.0.4.6 installed via recovery. launched recovery installed latest wanamlite for 4.4.2 - message was "installed successfully" please reboot

i rebooted and for the last 15 minutes all i have is a BIG SAMSUNG on the screen - nothing beyond

just another hitch with kitkat - i have a SONY XPERIA Z TABLET with wifi and sim - a couple of weeks ago i rooted it but the cwm version is not good because it's on the vertical side and you cannot see the bottom of the menu so it's useless - anyhow. i rooted it and left it at that.

i got notice from sony that a new os version (kitkat) was ready for install - so I just told the tablet to start - and the os install screwed the tablet,

there was no way to reload and it completely deleted the memory , it went to sony to reload - so i have a big hunch there is something not right somewhere -

anyway the phone still has the SAMSUNG and it ain't going anywhere while i am writing all this

very discouraging = sure as heck i ain't buying no more galaxys of any sort, i was ready to preorder the s5 at 455british pound, unlocked - but since this i am dropping samsung, i like very very much the xperia tablet it's faster than the s4 so perhaps i'll jump to the sony xperia fone and bbye korea

maybe i9505 rom
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exlaval:
custom roms failure, huh?

i know you're trying to help - but if you read all the previous (long and boring) messages - there's no mistakes, there's no 9505

ALL THE ROMS I DOWNLOAD AND USE - ALL OF THEM WITHOUT EXCEPTION come for the i9500 development area, I DON'T BOTHER WITH

9505 - MOSTLY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A 9505

UPDATE - today after loading the latest cwm recovery i got lucky to be able to load ONE - READ IT - ONE CUSTOM ROM ( rom from HASAN)

this is the very only that i got to work, the other two just refuse to finish the boot - i don't know where they freeze.

even the wanamlite custom rom for 4.4.2 freezes - this is really annoying and a puzzle - this is my fourth samsung fone and never ever did i

find the bug that freeze everything. I hope that some of the other developers will come up with new kitkat versions for the 9500 and see if the bug persists or not -

any help will absolutely be appreciated, guys, some sort of boot log that can help pinpoint,

thanks again
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinktheater:
You know the fact you keep using capital letters (so you might be trying to scream) is a little annoying.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500. I live in Costa Rica (so not in the US obviously).

I installed stock 4.4.2 using ODIN, then flashed ROOT and finally installed a custom CWM. First I tried Philz and ended up with 6.0.4.6.

I have already tried 2 different custom ROM's but I didn't like them so I went back to stock. I am very satisfied with the performance of my phone with stock, but that's not the point.

The thing is that I have the same phone you have, i installed the same software you installed, I followed the same steps you have followed yet I am able to install any custom ROM i like.

Maybe it is your phone, or maybe you're just looking for an excuse to quit Samsung and you're simply blaming kitkat your inability of installing ROMs now.

I'm just saying... there are several options you can tried if you quit being angry and actually try them.

Personally, I would start from scratch. Flashing via ODIN again, rooting accordingly with the right files, using a recovery that is recognized to work with 4.4.2, and finally using the right custom ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exlaval:
custom roms failure, huh?

-------------------------------------------------------

First - The capitals I used were ONLY to emphasize certain aspects and not intended as screaming, which is the usual sense - That was not my intention,

Second - I have being using Samsung for the last 7 years, I was not intending to leave until I hit this brick and further I nearly went to Clove, UK (where I usually pre-ordered my last 3 Galaxy's - months ahead of delivery) so thumping me by saying I am looking for an excuse to dump Samsung, is way off base, so much so, that if that indeed was my intention, why for all heavens would i bother to find a solution, and waste so much time and effort to make it work

Third - I have being as polite as any person can be, with or without, this hitch, don't judge, about being angry or not, you don't know me well enough to know the difference, just stick to the point in question without getting personal.

Fourth - What I have described is EXACTLY to a tee what is happening to me, what happened to YOU , is IRRELEVANT, you may be one of the lucky ones who has no issues installing the roms in questions. so unless you do have a suggestion as to finding the reason the fone loops on boot, skip what you did or didn't do, they are IRRELEVANT, because they don't provide a solution.

Fifth - If you read my descriptions you will notice the many times I installed customs roms on the many galaxy's and Note's I have/had.That ought to clue you that i know a basic way on how to do the installations (Odin, recovery, teamwin. cmw,) you name it I've done it, and i've unbricked more than once my fones. so yes i do know how to use Odin

Sixth - For some reason I was able to install the "HASSAN" rom (the ONLY and ONLY) 4.4.2 custom that worked. the others they just won't, PERIOD

So if you have a technical solution as to how to get a log of the looping so we can tell exactly at what point the fone loops. or some other technical solutions, please let me know them asap I am dying to see my fone with a custom 4.4.2,

Seventh - Yes I am extremely disappointed that the S5 is just not fantastic enough to lay 455GBP to pre-order. there are a few more advances but it is "ALMOST" good = the bezel didn't disappear - the 2K display isn't there - the sharper casing is still missing - the better battery is still not there - the wireless charging - To have 2000 horse power engine under the hood of a beat up VW beatle. doesn't make you good looking enough to go cruising on a saturday nite and brag about your "car" -

BTW = I am absolutely no fan of the Iphone (yuk) nor of Sony (which is as restricted as apple)

Can you help solve my issue - thanks

Hello!

I want to get this great phone for my sister.

seeing she has a history of somehow dropping the phone into the toilet i think that should be a great phone for her:laugh:

Thing is, i'm worried about how really waterproof the phone is.

What happens if she doesnt seal properly the port after charging for example? does every port in the phone need to be manually sealed each time after usage? (charging/headphones).

thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
If she doesn't close the ports then it would just be like any other normal phone dropped in the water. Also not all ports are covered. Headphone port isn't covered but is waterproof. Charging(USB) needs covered ports but if you buy the dock then you won't need to use the USB port but the magnetic connector instead which is also waterproof without any covers.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
Phone will remind her to close the ports. So that is a bonus. Just tell her not to disable that warning.

And get her $10 magnetic charging cable so she will not have to open the charging port cap at all for charging the phone. This way no need to pen any port doors unless you want to transfer files over Usb. Eden that can be avoided by setting up Wifi file transfer.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holydire:
will this do?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
I don't think that will work. Z ultra is much thinner at 6.5mm. Z1 Compact is thick at 9.6 mm.

I have cable like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00G25UXSQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1393944009&sr=8-1

Works like a charm.

From my Xperia Z1 Compact, in your face!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsb:
The dock has changeable inserts that should allow you to use the phone with a cover. Perhaps the Z1 compact will fit with the insert designed for the Z ultra+cover.

I am generally pretty confident in the waterproof designs from Sony. Last summer I retrieved my mothers Xperia Active from the bottom of a harbour after it had spent spent 10 minutes at 2.5 metres in salt water. It was running when brought up and still works nicely and she is using it every day. I also routinely brought my old Xperia Go to the shower to be able to control the music playing from my bluetooth speakers. This never posed any problem either. I haven't subjected my new Z1 Compact to any liquid challenges yet though.

Hi there,

After searching for this model, I think this is the closest I can get ;D

A friend of mine dropped her cellphone, and all of a sudden it doesn't start AT all. The only thing I can get going at the moment is the ODIN Mode (Power + Home + Volume Down).

Is there a way to access the phone's memory while the phone is in ODIN mode? or is it totally bricked, the contacts are gone and I can throw it away?

Yes, a backup would have been nice, even giving Google all the contacts would be better than this.. But hey, she's not listening.

Many thanks for your answers, which will hopefully come...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
the 5363 is a o2 regional varient of the 5360

you can download stock firmware from sammobile and flash it via odin

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

you may need to split the firmware first if your phone does not support single file flashing

you can use splitfus2 to do this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2615434

you will loose any data that is on your phone

you maybe able to use adb to pull phone contacts but your phone needs to be rooted with usb debugging enabled

if you have a nandroid backup you can also pull the backup with adb or use a sd card reader or another phone and then unpack it
