[Q] Help flashing ics rom!!!

How do I flash an ics rom on my gingerbread rooted t989???? We never I flash aokp it boot loops! I been out of the loop a while can someone please help me???
Each ICS rom in the development section typically provides flashing instructions specific to the rom. I suggest you find the rom you want to flash and follow instructions in the OP. Keep in mind since you are currently running GB and wish to upgrade to ICS, you will need to flash an IGS radio. General flash instructions are usually as follows:
1. Factory Reset / Wipe Data or flash Darkside Superwipe
2. Flash Radio
3. Flash Rom
4. Reboot
5. Let rom settle for 5-10 mins, Reboot again
6. Enjoy. If you get a boot loop at this point or phone freezes at this point, flash Darkside Cache Wipe (which wipes cache, dalvik cache, and fixes permissions)
There's no special stuff I have to do before is it just like flashing a gb rom???
Same process, nothing special.

Cannot install any 4.3 custom rom

Hello, my name is Sebastian. First time I post here. I´ve been reading a lot here in Xda, but no posting before.
I have a little question for you all, experts, and I think its kinda simple but I can´t figure it out.
My N7100 was running fine with a stock rom (Android 4.1) and then flashed a custom rom, I think Phoenix Rom (Android 4.1) and working very fine too..
Now I wanted to flash a newer rom, and I've tried a lot, with no good results:
PHOENIX ROM V15 (ANDROID 4.3)
DR KETAN CUSTOM ROM V6.1 (ANDROID 4.3)
DN3 V3.1 (ANDROID 4.3)
HURRICANE V6.0 (ANDROID 4.3)
I can install them all very fine, but when I restart the phone, it get stuck at the Galaxy Note II N7100 logo.
My CWM is version 6.0.3.7 and I`m using Philz touch 5.15.0 (I've tried Philz touch 6 with the same results).
I tried installing a new radio with Odin, version DDUMJ9 Modem and still the same result, stuck at boot logo.
Its weird cause I can install very fine the custom rom PROBAM 5.0 (Android 4.3) and it don´t get stuck at the boot logo, and the system runs very fine. I also can install custom rom REVOLUTION HD 19.0 (Android 4.1 based).
So, my problem its with Android 4.3 and most of the custom roms based in that system that are holded here in Xda.
What can i do? What I'm doind wrong? What is missing?
I'll be very grateful for any help that you can give me.
Best regards.

Phoenix ROM V15 has some issues installing first time.. try complete wipe (keep installation zip on external SD card and format internal SD card in order to clean every thing) then try couple of times... alos select less apps and mods.. you can download app later..
I was on phoenix and gave me troubles installing but was able to in 2-3 attempts always...

Thanks a lot man, but I've tried to install Phoenix ROM like...7 times? And before every installation I do the following:
1. Wipe dalvik cache
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe cache/full factory reset
4. Wipe and clean to install a new ROM (Philz touch option)
And then I perform the installation. Like I said in my first post this is happening to me with every Android 4.3 custom ROM, not just Phoenix ROM.
Do you have any other idea? Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
from what you said,you only do factory reset before install.
did you do factory reset after install ?

Yes I've done factory reset to every installation I've made, and I even done it more than one time several times.
I did a new test, I formatted the internal SD and did all the wipe steps and tried to install Dr Ketan ROM (android 4.3 based) with no luck.
After all the new tests I did, finally decided to go back to Android 4.1 and flashed Revolution HD 19.0 and now my phone is working flawlessly.
What is missing in my phone to be able to run Android 4.3? I've seen other people with the same problem, but none seems to give and straight answer.
Here's is an example of the same problem:

hurmm..this is weird..
why don't you try mj5 leak stock rom..since mj5 leak is a stock rom..i don't think you will face any problem..
after done mj5 flashing, apply patch from here then flash custom rom.
if that also not working, i dunno what wrong with your phone.

Have you tried zoot's script mega wipe ?
Android 4.3 I notice there's a change on the usb internal storage folder. If the MJ5 bootloader you have tried already, you can try this megawipe. It will wipe very clean your internal storage. Don't worry, it won't wipe your EFS
I always use this script everytime I want to jump to new Android base, and so far never give me a problem.
Good luck!

You must use a Super Wipe script before the factory reset when installing a 4.3 Rom for the first time.
sent from somewhere
Agree because they change the partitioning.

You can Flash leaked 4.3 mi6 rom via pc odin and it will automatically wipe your all data and int storage. You still will have old boot loader. After that,you can try any 4.3 custom rom.

[Solved] Bootloop after flashing any Touchwiz based rom

Hi,
For about a few days, I can't flash any touchwiz based rom, even the ones I could flash without any problem before. After I flash any touchwiz rom, my phone goes into a bootloop cycle. Though I can boot into recovery and download mode with key combinations. I don't know when this happened for the first time but as far as I can remember, it would be after I flashed some 4.4 AOSP rom (could be Omnirom, I'm not sure though)
What I did to recover from boot loop:
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and reboot, no joy.
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, reboot, no joy.
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, wipe data/media, reboot, no joy.
- Pulled out the battery between these steps too.
At first, I thought something was wrong about the aroma installer itself because the phone was getting frozen during aroma installer setup screen, then I came up that it was caused due to my older CWM version, so I updated the recovery and it didn't freze again during installation.
And by the way, I've lost my efs partition during these processes, thankfully I've had a nandroid backup from a couple of months before.
Now I'm stuck with AOSP roms and the only way I can use a touchwiz rom is to flash the stock rom via odin. But I want to use the new leaked version based Note3 featured roms.
I've seen similar topics at S4 section but I couldn't be sure if I can do the exact steps for an N7100 international device.
I'm pretty familiar with linux system and I can use adb so I can provide any kind of information you need to diagnose this issue. Thanks in advance. Best regards.
HOW I SOLVED THIS PROBLEM
- Wiped everything (system, data, sdcard, of course internal sdcard)
- Flashed n7100 16GB pit file via odin
- Flashed stock rom via odin
- During these steps, I realized that my CSC code had been changed, I've corrected it acording to my country code
- Rooted my phone again
- Flashed CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery
- Flashed DN3 V3.1 rom
- Bingo, I successifully booted into DN3 rom but had no WIFI
- Flashed MJ5 bootloader
- Rebooted, then WIFI worked without a problem
- Setup my phone and did some restore
It's all good now. Thanks for everything, I hope these steps can help someone facing the same problem.
Guys, I really need some help.. Any idea about what might the problem be?

Download HD wipe script,flash the script zip via cwm/philz then try installing the rom of your choice.
I found the script from tamirda's phoenix rom thread and is very useful:http://d-h.st/fWr
Full wipe cache and reset in recovery menu, clear everything, you should be up and running.

Thanks for the reply. I flashed this superwipe script, then flashed DN3 rom but still I got stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note II screen boot loop. I really don't understand this. What am I missing? What would happen if I wipe the entire internal memory block, I mean the whole things, even the root partition too.. I'm thinking that maybe there's some file inside the root partition that prevents me to flash touchwiz roms or perhaps something wrong about touchwiz based roms' bootloaders.. I'm truely pissed..

Have you read my first message? I remember that I've mentioned I've done already what you ask me to do.. Believe me I wouldn't shoot a new thread if I could've solved my problem with such easy steps. I've already done so many wipes, including internal SD and whatsoever.. I'm really confused and NEED help. Thanks anyway..
I think you can go for the method you mentioned.But also give a try to start fresh i.e pit file flashing...wiping everything n installing stock rom then rooting,flashing custom recovery n then installing any TW custom rom.
Also give other TW based roms a try too.
Im having the same problem but after flashing kernels (e.i. saber & perseus).
Im currently running on Tigra rom. Is this a compatibility issue or im just missing something here too?
I came across flashing bootimg but this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
is for One S, im not sure if will work on Note 2 & haven't tried it yet.
Any suggestions? help pls...

No Custom ROM? Help!

My Xperia ZL won't allow me to install a custom ROM.
Here are the steps I've taken.
1. Updated to 10.6.... (Lollipop fw) via Flashtool
2. Boots correctly, everything seems to work.
3. Flashed boot.img from Paranoid Android and went into TWRP to flash the ROM zip (wiped cache, system and data before).
Did step 3 to test the same for OmniRom too.
4. Phone boots, shows Bootanimation, shows Optimizing apps, then hangs after finish and does step 4 again.
Please help me, I could install custom ROMs on the device before, suddenly it does not work anymore.
Note: EVERYTHING works fine with Stock. Flashed stock ftf multiple times and tried these steps.
Thanks for your help
It seems to be a Bootloop. Try below steps;
1. Through TWRP wipe (system+cache+dalvic cache+data+android secure)
2. Install ROM.zip
3. Wipe cache+dalvic cache+data
4. Reboot
Hope the above steps helps you
Regards,
hitman-xda
@hitman-xda I've tried these steps, except for android secure.
What is that partition and what does it do?
Cannot find it in Advanced Wipe of TWRP.
Thanks
It is the mysterious part. Actually no one knows about it. Some says, it contains secured links/data of some apps.
If you are clean flashing ROM, that's means you have to wipe everything except storage part. That's the reason I mentioned it.
If you can't find it, just leave it
@hitman-xda So I've already done what you suggested, with no luck.
Guess I'm stuck on stock till someone helps me
Thanks for your reply
did you install de correct kernel?
maybe you should wipe everything, install the correct kernel and after that, install the custom ROM
i don't now if it will work, but at least try
I did fastboot flash boot boot.img (got it from ROM zip)
Then erased everything and flashed ROM.
No luck
Does that Paranoid Android was built for your phone?
Your phone loops from 'optimizing apps' , that means your phone is unable to load dalvic/art for the apps.
Also check weather PA ROM can be flashed over lollipop, if not then you have to downgrade an then try the same procedure.
Also you can download stock kernel with recovery, flash it and then directly try to flash your respective ROM.
Usually ROM.zip contains kernel and get flashed during installation of zip, just the thing is they can be flashable over some selective android versions.

[Help] SG S4 Mini GT i9195 GApps Error

Hello, I really need some help!
I have the GT i9195 and I've flashed it with CM13 and the proper GApps. I have TWRP Recovery and it's all 100% functional.
The problem here is, I flash the ROM, ok. I flash the GApps, ok. Then i wipe every cache and stuff and reboot. It takes a lots of time to reboot, but it's okay. After, maybe 1 hour, more or less, he finally starts.
Now here's what is wrong. ALL the GApps don't work. The phone is working fine, all sensors, cameras and even calling is fine, but the GApps don't work.
So, I've tried to downgrade to CM12.1 with the proper GApps, same. I've changed the ROM to another version of the CM13, nothing. I've downloaded all GApps, from Pico to Custom, nothing...
What can I do? Can anyone help me out?
Flash Opengapps select ARM Platform,use pico version. Wipe data,cache,dalvik cache then flash rom & gapps. OR flash separately, flash rom reboot system. Then wipe cache,dalvik cache flash gapps.

Its hard to tell by your wording but you are flashing GAPPS and the ROM at the same time and not booting into rom first right?
I have had a lot of Play Services FC's lately and had to wipe data from play services and market to get them working after I was rooting and un-rooting back and forth.

I flashed all at same time (following some instructions I saw) then I only flashed the ROM and after the GApps. Even so, they are not working!
I've tried all GApps for this device, none are working.
My best solution so far was download the stock Firmware and Flash it trough Odin.
It's stock, but is working fine without any issues until now.
But I really really want to put CM13 or CM12.1 in this phone.
