Hi
I am a bit new but flashed a new stock ROM on my Galaxy s3 tonight. I used mobile odin and flashed I9300XXUFMB3_I9300OJKFMB3_ILO I didnt clear either cache. All works well, nice ROM but now my smsprogramme wont open. Should I have cleared cache? What do i do now?
thanks a million

you should have done a full wipe. In clockwordmod recovery to do a full wipe you must:
-wipe data/ factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache
I would recommend doing the above and reflashing the rom. A lot of rom issues that people have are because they didnt wipe properly before flashing, so its best to start clean
Ah, unfortunately my phone has now come up in a language I cant follow... how do I get out of that....thanks
You flashed an international rom on your phone and it's not bricked. Which means you are in the wrong forum.
Thaanks that the one

i guess my question is what can i do to fix this problem ! ^^
thank you!
In CWM, did you clear dalvik, and factory reset/clear data?

i didnt try factory reset ill try that but could there be anyhting else ?
I don't think so. It should be a few slots down from install zip from SD card.

You need to factory reset in CWR. Also wipe data and cache.

Isn't that the same thing??

The reason for this is your not doing the "wipe data/facory reset" which will keep all your apps etc.
you should always wipe data/factory reset when switching between roms.
If your going from cm7 nightlie 80 to cm7 nightlie 81 then no you wouldnt need to do this.
I wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition (well i personally wipe them twice) when flashing roms.
hmm ok will try later on tonight ! thanks for the replies ! just to get it straight factory data reset then wipe data dalvik and cache ? and then switch rom ?

First make a backup of your current setup through Rom manager or Clockwork Recovery. Then wipe data, wipe cache, then wipe dalvick cached. Then install rom from sdcard and find file.
I check the md5sum of Roms on my computer also, to make sure they downloaded in their entirety and aren't corrupted. There is a md5 checker for pc on cnet and you can do it through terminal on Mac.
Please see OX's thread for more info.

once you have the ROM on your sd card (should check it when you have it on the sd card) you can use AFV to check the md5sum from your phone.

This is going to sound stupid I'm sure, but what does that wipe do that the other's don't?
Thanks
mods,
you can completely delete this thread if you're not busy, I ended up sticking with the juggernaut rom and phone works great
thanks

Reboot to CWM.
You'll need to full wipe by going to storage & mount
format the following- data, system, and cache.
next go back to the main cwm screen.
wipe factory/data that is on the main CWM screen and wipe cache partition.
afterwards go to advance then wipe delvik cache.
done!
or search for Darkside Super Wipe tool which can be found in the dev section.(pretty much the same thing but in one button)
Ok so I downloaded a JB rom rebooted in CWM touch I then
wipe data /factory reset
Wipe cache partitions
Wipe dalvik cache
Format system
Format cache
Format data
And flashed the rom
I reboot and it gets stuck sometimes in the Google screen or the X screen
I have left it booting for 1hr and nothing
Due system/cache /data have to be unmounted?
hi there, only thing you must do is to wipe factory, and wipe cache, dont wipe and format other things there.. if you have a back up of your prevoius stock rom, restore it again to restore all you had been formated, to restore your phone to normal, and install again your jelly bean rom but this time just wipe cache and wipe facetory thats all you need to do. sorry for the english

It's pass the Google screen now in the glowing X screen its been on for like 15 min is that normal?
Its should not take that long after flashing the rom max time it takes is 5 mins for me will be same for all there must be something wrong
CMW Touch usually does not play well with JB.
Try flashing with an older CMW.
Alright thanks for the help restoring back to aopk 40 and going to flash a older cwm then rebooting into cwm wipe factory and cache then JB v3 then rebooting it hope fully it works
Good luck, hope it works out for you.
Ok experts.
First of all, thank you for reading this post. This shows me you read the subject line and in your heart, you are willing to help others ( in this case, me ). And for that i thank you.
So...i have flashed roms before on samsung and htc devices. Why is it so hard on LG?
I downloaded a rom and gapps, opened twrp and did wipe cache, dalvik cache, system but not the data because if i do i loose everything including the rom and gapps i downloaded. Then i fashed rom wiped cache and dalvik cach, flashed gapps wipe cache and dalvik cache then fix permission then reboot and it stays stuck on bootloading screen.
Please point out to me what im doing wrong or what am i missing. I have tried flashing this rom 10 times.
Again thanks.

It looks like you're doing it right, but there's a couple things that might be missing.
You should be wiping data also. So in TWRP 2.5.0.0, select the Wipe tab, Factory Reset, then Advanced tab, and select all 4. /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik. This way you have a clean slate. DO NOT HIT THE FORMAT DATA!!! It erases /data/media.
If you're flashing CM for the first time, you need to either use teeny bins, or (I think this still works) flash the CM 10.1 ROM by Shelnutt2. This updates your partitions needed to run CM based ROM's.
Wow. It worked. I failed to notice that reseting the phone was not formating the data...so it worked.
Big thank you.
Issue solved.

Hi guys, don't know if this is going on the right forum or whatever but I have a problem!
So last week I rooted and flashed my phone to 4.4.2 Google Play Edition (I'm a noob to all of this) may I add that I have a GT-i9505 model with an unlocked bootloader etc (as I have an international s4)
Phone was working fine except for a few bugs such as camera application would stop working.
So I decided to have to have a look around at another ROM to change and flash it and I found the 4.4.2 Liquidsmooth ROM (which looks pretty good and seems to be everything I need) so I started to reflash it all again (as I did before) however I have 35% battery and my flash failed with the error
'file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.pro" error executing updater binary in zip.
So what is it I'm doing wrong? Is it coz I'm flashing on top of another ROM? I have no idea, can someone point me in the right direction? I'm not using an ext SD card for this either!
If you can a noob version would be awesome! Thank you so much for reading this!

Ok you must wipe your old rom first but MAKE A BACK UP, firstly go into recovery (cwm or twrp) and go to "back up" and make a back up. second go to wipe and wipe cache then wipe dalvic cache (if your using cmw you will have to go to advanced on the home screen to wipe dalvic cache)
third go back to wipe and wipe system, after that wipe the cache and dalvic cache just like before
And for the final stage go to install, find the rom you want (will be a zip file) and then flash it, when done wipe cache and dalvic cache one more time then reboot
And bam you should have you new custom rom (you dont have to keep wiping the cache and dalvic cache but its recomended)

Glad i could help :laugh:
the most important thing is read, read and read the instruction before applying any flash.
I always do that and never fail
