This is the first of many guides I will be posting and keeping up with.

It will be utilized for Q&A FAQ and HOW TO so we can keep the development thread for development purposes.

Post your questions and Myself or other knowledgeable users of Sac23 ROMS will answer as quickly as possible.

So ......

For starters HOW TO INSTALL a ROM by SAC23

PRE REQUISITE ... YOU MUST BE ON THE 5.0 BOOTLOADER TO RUN THIS ROM

If you need to flash back to a previous stock bootloader

Mini-bootloaders - TWRP or Philz recovery already embedded:

Firmware_Only_Odin_Flashable_ Images_For_4.4.. And_5.0_Roms

Full bootloaders:

4.4.4 - G900PVPU1ANK4_G900PSPT1ANK4_SPR.zip

4.4.2 - [LINK][ROM][ODIN][TAR]SM-G900P NE5 (NE5 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Stock)

​

Installing with TWRP (View All Supported Devices>>> Find TWRP for your device):

Philz can be used and I will post instructions for it later

This assumes that you ALREADY have TWRP Recovery installed on your phone and you know how to use it.

Download the ROM of choice...move it onto the EXT SD CARD.

VERY IMPORTANT>>> Move all music, pics, important data from internal storage to the ext SD card and/or to your pc, etc. because during this process, the internal will be completely erased.

Recommended Method to Flash SACS Custom ROMS using TWRP

Boot into TWRP

Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe

Select Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache. Swipe to Wipe (do this THREE TIMES)

Go back to previous Advanced Wipe screen.

Select Format Data, Type YES, Press GO. (do this THREE TIMES)

Go back to previous Advanced Wipe screen.

Swipe to Factory Reset. (do this THREE TIMES)

Go back to MAIN menu and STOP HERE !!!!! READ NEXT STEP CAREFULLY....

[*]Select REBOOT INTO RECOVERY mode and Swipe to Install Super User. DO NOT REBOOT INTO SYSTEM!

[*]AFTER THE PHONE REBOOTS INTO RECOVERY:

NOW proceed with installing The ROM

Select Install Zip, Drill down to Sac23's Rom you want to flash, and Swipe to install.

Follow on screen instructions (if there are any).

When prompted, REBOOT SYSTEM.

THE FIRST BOOT WILL TAKE A MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES..... SOME DEVICES EVEN LONGER...

.

.

HAVE PATIENTS

When the Home Screen appears and it is obvious that the install has completed, allow the phone to settle for another 10 minutes BEFORE you begin setting up your personal preferences and accounts.

If everything seems normal, set your phone up and profit.

After setting up your personal info and you are now ready, the first thing you should always do after flashing any ROM is to go to settings, system updates, and refresh/update your PRL & PROFILE then reboot the phone. Second thing is go to settings, more networks, mobile networks, network mode, and select LTE/CDMA.
