So I've been reading that people are having issues with flashing a ROM using TWRP.
They factory reset, wipe etc and when they go to flash...nothing there to flash? How can this be avoided?
I have ZV8 rooted and unlocked with free gee from the app store.
As I understand they factory reset, wipe dalvik, cache...but where are they saving the ROM to flash it? But at the same time I've seen others succeed. I'm not trying to screw up here and being patient....

I don't have issues flashing twrp. I usually download the zip on my laptop and then connect my phone via USB storage to transfer the zip. Then I go to recovery and find /data/media and its there.

Ya that's where it ended up when I dumped the zip from laptop to phone. If u did what I did it should be there unless u saved it some place else.

Factory wipe will only delete apps and settings. Any pics or video taken should still be there and stuff u download.

You need Odin installed on your PC, and this file I have attached. Turn your phone off, hold down both volume buttons and hook up the USB cable which is already connected to the machine running Odin. Open Odin, and select PDA, find the file you downloaded from this post and select it. Now click start in Odin & violla !
Ahh k will it wipe my data. The reason I asked is since i'm rooted with a stock ROM with clockwork recovery installed,.will I still get ota's.

No it won't wipe your data.
As far as OTAs go, it has to be stock everything.
seems to be stuck and setup connection, does it take a long time?

According to someone no you can't. You need stock recovery to get OTA.
You can flash back to stock recovery by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830

No worries. I'm just giving you a hard time.
Like someone mentioned above, just use ODIN to flash a stock rooted ROM and all will be right in the world again.
Do you know exactly how?
Need Infos.
I'm beginner and trying to respect your words.

In the development section read the instructions how to flash via odin.
This should get you through the process and give you root.

Unzip the .7z file you downloaded from that thread. You should get a .tar file. (Might be .tar.md5, cant remember)
Flash that with odin.

I know this shouldn't necessarily be in this section but I've already PM'd someone and asked on the original thread for help and have gotten no response yet. I understand people may be busy though too. At any rate, can anyone give and exact instructions on how to flash this ROM? They're not in the ROMs OP so...yeah, I'm lost.

I would do a factory reset in TWRP then go to advanced and wipe system. Flash ROM, flash gapps wipe cache and dalvik one last time the reboot.

Use same fresh install method listed in any of my rom threads... I'm not sure about restoring messages I never do it but system data is usually a no no if you have issues with titanium download super su update your binary with the recovery method then go into titanium preferences and click the back up folder location option and change it from sdcard0 to legacy it will ask you if you want to move your back ups say yes then restart titanium and world will be right again

You need to be on a stock based ROM. Then settings>about phone>system updates. Then you can restore your backup you're gonna make before doing that.

Ty for responding. I must be doing something wrong. I have tried two different stock based ROMs and both would reboot over and over once loaded into the ROM.
