Stock or Custom ???

Hi All,

Do I need to start this guide using stock rom ? Or it is ok to start this guide using custom rom ? :confused:

Currently I'm using Ressurection LP rom. :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] :
All the data on the phone will be deleted any way ( including the stock/custom ROM )

So it doesn't matter :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] :
i increased the internal storage to 6275 MB ( 6.3 GB )

but had some performance issues

the question is

what's the relation between the storage and the performance ?! :confused:

Storage is not like RAM or CPU

Am i right ?!

Please Someone explain to me

Boot into stock recovery .. Wipe data/reset .. Then flash the stock rom through Odin again :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Leo010cara:
Can I still flash Stock roms after the process? Because i've tried and it takes me to the recovery, same if I flash the stock rom with the pit file. And i've already did a full wipe before and after flashing. Upon using odin 3.10.6 it fails right after I click start it says Re-Partition operation failed. Or is there any way of manually resetting the partitions?

As per my last 2 failed attempt i think we need to flash desired rom first and then follow this only then its working fine otherwise u will be redirected to same rom even you clean flash install any rom (my experience)

Problem with drivers

Hi,

I wanted to try this feature on my phone but I have a problem with drivers for a device found in Device Manager, called "GT-I9082" and some other called "UNKNOWN DEVICE". I installed some drivers from internet designed for i9082 and also I installed KIES, but nothing helped (of course everytime I restarted the laptop). When the phone in ON, everything looks correct. In Device Manager there are some "Android ADB ........" and most important, "GT-I9082" found and correctly installed. But the process of resizing the partition requires the CWM opened. So when I restart the phone and open CWM, my computer can't find drivers for "GT-I9082" and the other "UNKNOWN". Of course it doesn't allow to do anything with phone. when I type "ADB SHELL" I get the error "device not found". When phone in ON, then I can connect with the phone with "ADB SHELL".

Is there any help for me? I also tried to connect phone to some other UBS PORT, but it doesn't help. Any suggestions??

Best regards,

Mike
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] NeoLogY:
It happened to me before but cant remember exactly the solution. Probably this is driver problem. Did you uninstall [MENTION=533776]Disabled[/MENTION] Kies? Which

Version of CWM did you use? Does this happen too when you used TWRP?

I increased the internal storage of my grand duos sometime last year and there wasn't any problem whatsoever. So, I decided to try the latest version of stock touchwiz present at sammobile.com and I downloaded the baffin.pit in post #6 and flashed the ROM in Odin. Now, here's the problem. I can't see anything anymore. The phone's screen is distorted everywhere, even in download and recovery mode. I know the rom installed successfully because my PC notices it when it's connected and because I can always hear that stock samsung boot audio. Please help, I dont know what to do.

Hello

I need a clarification for some points please Now I'm using the custom ROM LineageOS 13 based on Android M 6.0.1 and (CWM v6.0.5.1 Advanced Philz Touch v6.58.7) so

1-I want to clean installation of this repartition method and I don't need to take any backup of the current ROM, can I proceed directly now or I need some precautions?

2-If this method is applicable, Can I take a nandroid backup having the new partitions and restore the backup afterward anytime?

3-If I want to back to the Stock ROM 4.2.2 , can this happen without any problems using ODIN (the baffin file and the stock version 4.2.2) ? or by which method???

Thanks in advance
