You give absolutely no description about what fails so how would anyone be able to help you?
So first how did you root?
Which tutorial, if you flowed one, did you use?
What rom did you try to flash?
What errors did you get?

My phone has UN rooted itself

OK I put on a new kernal (the one in my signature) and went into titanium back up and tried downloading a root app and it now says not rooted. I tried to use unrevoked and it said failed rom is to new. Wtf has happened

You surely must have root if you have a custom rom still. Is the SuperUser app listed? Try rebooting or flash the rom again with NO wipe.
OK a reinstall of rom done the trick. Would the kernal I got messed it up some how.

queries about flash custom ROM

i am new to flash custom ROM on one V. i wasfine with the original ROM,but now some of the apps are getting very slow to get response, especially the phone, people and messaging. the system software already updated to the latest version, i have tried clean cache as well, is there a custom ROM can solve this problem, or it can be solved without flash a custom ROM?
if flash a custom ROM is a must, anyone can recommend which ROM meet my requirements?

If you updated the phone, the new radio has a problem with the kernels used by the custom roms that are being released here and the phone would constantly reboot itself when a different kernel/rom is used. You can still unlock your bootloader and root the phone, but you will be stuck with the stock rom/kernel.
You might want to downgrade the radio first by running the official RUU.
After you downgrade the radio, you can then unlock your bootloader and root without having any kernel problems. Something about the updated radio that comes with the OTA update ruins any custom rom/kernel installation.

You don't have to worry about downgrading radio... your device is a GSM as most of us in Asia.
I do not how to downgrade. Previously was using Samsung galaxy 3 which is way simpler to flash custom rom without unlock this and that. I am just afraid brick my phone. Anyway I just downloaded an app called contacts + so far it solves my problem like a charm

Apps to make jelly bean without flashing rom

Hello all, I am rooted stock 4.0.3 and I do not want to risk messing up my phone by flashing a Rom but I want my phone to be as much like jelly bean as possible. Please share any tips or apps that can help me achieve this.

Nova launcher
Nova Launcher, Holo Locker then download the ICS Dialer, JB Messaging and JB Contacts app from appstore. That's about as close as you'll get without flashing, in all honesty nothing will go wrong, you've already rooted so I assume recovery is installed so you're 99% there.

actually i havent installed recovery. i have tried both cwm and the team win recovery (cant remember the initials for the whole name) every time i try via my computer, or rom manager it will install but it effs up my phone and it just sits there on the screen saying "this build is for developmental purposes only" and i eventially have to reboot myphone myself. what am i doing wrong? and curtis: what rom are you using? how many times have you flashed one? and how manytimes has something went wrong? im only 15 and i dont have a job yet so if something does go wrong i cant get a new phone and my mom would be P.O.

Just follow the steps on the one click toolkit, all you need to do is unlock bootloader then install recovery and reboot and done. Just make sure you download the correct one (GSM or CDMA). I've flashed this device plenty of times in the 3 month I've had it with no problems at all, I've also messed about with my last two devices with no issues. And I'm only 17, I'm on an apprenticeship wage so I can't really afford a new device but it's really worth doing, if something goes wrong you can always depend on the people at XDA to help you out in recovering it.
I use MyOneV, its based on Sense Lite but I do prefer the Cyanogenmod based ROMs such as CM10 but I can't get enough of the Sense camera.

Installing apps of jb will not help... The smoothness....!!! The feel of using it will never come at any cost... And dont worry, i hav flashed roms approx. 50 times and nothing went wrong...
Recovery:- try twrp 2.4.4.0 and choose the correct one.... i.e. u r primoU or primoC...
Kernel:- flash dat seperately via fastboot..
Rom:- its up to you...!!!
P.S. please do not be on stock... Try a sense rom if u like it... But no stock... Its not deodexed so u cant even mod it freely...
R: Apps to make jelly bean without flashing rom
Flashing roms is easy once you flash the first one
I suggest you to flash CM 10 but since you want jb feel without it so here you go :
Apex launcher
Holo locker
Camera jb +
Clock jb+
Flash Google now for stock ROM if you want
Jelly bean status bar
Jb messenging app
ICS dialer
Install this much and you are good to go and I highly recommended you to flash Google now its the best feature of jb and flashing this also will not change your ROM or system but since you mentioned that you don't want to flash anything its your choice but its highly recommended
Yes I have flashed google now and am thinking about flashing a Rom. I have noticed google now has a horible amount of lag though.. and is there anyway I can flash a Rom without flashing a kernel as for that would require me to use a computer and right now my computer is down. Or can i flash the boot.IMG using just ny phone?

Do I need to update bootloader on a stock phone?

I'm gonna root and install a custom ROM on my friend's phone and I'm just wondering if I need to update the bootloader before installing any ROMs?
So should I root, then flash the bootloader update via Odin before installing a ROM?
Or can anyone give me a good process for doing that, it would really help

I meant like my friend's phones are purely stock.. And I'm on a custom ROM. About a month ago we all got bootloader updates in order to use new ROMs so I'm wondering if that's what I need to do for my friends too, before flashing them a rom

I'm sure that it depends on what version bootloader is currently installed, and what version your ROM of choice requires. The fact that their phone is now "Stock" doesn't tell you anything. I am running a nightly version (7/7/13) of Rootbox (Doesn't get any newer than that) on a one year old S3, and have never updated my "Stock" bootloader because it was not necessary for what I need - and there isn't one newer.
Every time you flash, you are taking the chance of something screwing up. The only thing worse than bricking your phone would be bricking someone else's. IMO, you need to do some more research to answer your own question. The devil is in the details.
Good Luck.

If he is on the most current stock update provided by the carrier then the bootloader should already be updated.

Can you get into fastboot ? If you can there is still hope and it isnt BRICKED ....... Fastboot usb ... fastboot flash recovery again , then flash a correct rom . if recovery still isnt working try fastboot reboot recovery ..... and you may have to RUU . but as long as you have fastboot you still have a fighting chance .
I've tried to just flash the recovery through boot loader. Does the same thing. I'll try fast boot reboot recovery. How do I RUU? Can I flash a rom in fast boot?

Hey guys,
I had a very similar problem happen, do you think you could post your solution on the forum? I can get into bootloader and i'm trying to figure out how to fix it.
I'm on a macbook does that mean I can't use the RUU?
I don't mean to be mean, but how do people keep flashing the wrong roms?

I would REALLY start reading about all the things NOT to do with an S-OFF phone if you think you bricked your phone on a bootloop.
I honestly don't want to see your beautiful phone actually get BRICKED. which means just that it's a brick.. it doesn't turn on, no charge light ANYTHING, that is a brick. And can happen, but if you are careful you will be fine. but Not knowing how to flash an RUU and what a bootloop is, those are things you should learn BEFORE you S-OFF. Just don't want to see you end up with an actual Brick.

Lol! Learned allot in the past week. Andy, everything you said is on point. I took the time to read and learn and you'll be happy to know I'm now running TWRP with bone stock.
