[Q] First attempt at custom ROM --> [ROM][JB] All Star Rom v6

Happy New Year
First attempt at custom ROM, heard great things about All Star Rom - going straight for the v6! Unless told not to ... LOL
Have a rooted device,with latest TWRP recovery 2.3.3.1-hercules .tar flashed.
Have v6 and All-Star 4.2 custom gapps downloaded.
Copy of instructions for reference sake:
TWRP recovery recommended!
- wipe data
- wipe system
-(Use Darkside Super wipe if still on cwm 5.0.2.7 or below)
- flash rom
- flash All-Star 4.2 gapps
- wipe cache/ dalvik cache.
- reboot and wait 10 mins
- reboot and wait 1 minute
- Grant Superuser permissions for Switchme
- set up device.
- Initiate the CPU sleeper app
- (Highly Recommended) ENJOY!
Booting into TWRP recovery,
I don't specifically have a "wipe data" option, I want to be very thorough here.
Under "Wipe" I have Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, ... and System.
Quick answer? Thanks.

Hey, happy new years justaguy705. Nice to see you asking questions again.
To answer your question, the option where you see "Factory Reset" is the exact same as "Wipe data". Cheers!

I keep getting "Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day" so thanks! I hope you'll enjoy the All-Star ROM, feel free to ask questions in the Development section, as you'll get quicker responses there. Once again, good luck on your ROM flashing journey, ahaha.

Do I reboot at the first welcome screen?

WoW !!!!!

Sorry for the late reply, yes, you will be greeted with the first welcome screen (the one where you have to choose language, enter your Google account, etc...)

Thanks! No sweat at the late reply, was just paranoid at that stage.

Unless you have a recovery system already. You will need a computer to install a recovery system such as TWRP 2.3.3.0 to your phone through Odin (PC application).

Yes it is. I rarely use or never use computer now.

Doesn't being rooted means he rooted himself via a recovery, unless he flashed stock rom again. In which it would wipe his recovery.

He may have a custom recovery file, but from what I know to install the latest and recommended TWRP recovery you would need to have a computer to flash it. But you are free to explain to him with your steps to flashing without a computer.

Make sure your phone is off and not connected to a USB cable. Press and hold the "volume up/volume down" keys and then press the power button until you feel a vibrate and the screen turns on. After that you should be in recovery mode and it will say the version you are using. If you have a CWM recovery version greater than 6.0 you should be able to flash a ROM through your phone.

Yes, to flash most of the newer ROMs for our phone it is recommended to use the latest CWM or TWRP recovery for our phones.

You could use Mobile Odin to flash TWRP or CWM but Mobile Odin doesn't have all the features that regular Odin does.

To flash TWRP on to your phone and you still do not have access to a computer, you can try using the Mobile Odin app on the Play store as android88 had mentioned above (however, the app is around $5.00 if you're willing to purchase it). Otherwise, flashing the recovery system through Odin using a computer is the way to do it.

[Q][Need Help] Phone Won't Boot Past Splash Screen

So I was running Slimbean 6.2 weekly with ktoonez 6.8 kernel and decided to go into recovery (CWM Touch 6.0.3) to fix permissions and clear cache since I was having some battery drain issues. After I hit fix permissions it started to do so and then all of a sudden my phone rebooted and gets stuck at the splash screen. Went back into recovery to try and fix permissions again same thing happens. Tried clearing cache and doing a normal reboot still stuck at splash screen. I tried doing a factory reset but it keeps rebooting right when it gets to formatting data. So essentially I can do anything aside from format data so I am guessing there's some corrupt file there that's keeping me from formatting it. I've tried installing different ROM's that I have on my SD card but they always get stuck at the splash screen. Doing a restore doesn't work as once it gets to restoring data the phone reboots. I checked report error or something along those lines in CWM Advanced and it said can't format /emmc which I'm not sure what that means.
I've looked around but haven't been able to find any information on how to fix this. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Ok go into CWM wipe cache, wipe dalvik and do factory reset. Then flash any rom which you have on your phone storage. Does this work?

You never mentioned you started over by installing 4.1.2 Stock and then tried flashing ROM again, only that you went into recovery numerous times. Download Mode and Odin to Stock is what I was getting at. Then... Flashing 4.2.2

Even better, download one of the Odin 1-clicks. Connect your phone, open the 1-click and stand back while it does its magic.

Click that and it will start downloading. When it's finished, connect your phone while in download mode and then run the .exe

Indeed. Odin One Click is another, and better, alternative.

so I used the one click odin file but it didn't do anything that I can tell. All it seemed to do was check the md5 sum which came back successful and thats it. Do I need a stock rom file as well with this? Sorry for the noob questions

[Q] It keeps rebooting... recovery is not seandroid enforcement

Hi, I had the ROM DARTHSTALKER... and then I installed the Jedi elite to try a different one, but i wanted to go back to recover some messages of a girl, so I tried to restore the DARTHSTALKER backup from the ROM Jedi. It ended up in a loop, rebooting constantly... now I tried to UN-root it to begin from 0 and it keeps rebooting and telling me at the beginning in red: recovery is not seandroid enforcement and then some times if it loads, i says: optimizing apps... and then it says Finishing boot (it stays there for a while) and then the T-Mobil logo appears (it stays there for a while) and it reboot... After that it boots until it says: "process system isn't responding" and I have 2 options, wait or close, none of them work
How can I fix this I'm using TWRP Recovery
Thanks guys

you will need manually flash most likely the saberkernel green. Once you have it up and running, update your twrp. The older versions of recovery had restore issues.

Ok, but how do i introduce the kernel in my phone if when I plug it in the pc in download mode it seems to load but it doesn't load in My PC (the drivers are ok)
Is there anyway to install it from the pc using a program like odin? And what do you mean the old version? Which one do u recommend me?

Download the kernel .zip file and place on your sdcard . Hold down home+power+volup buttons to boot into recovery. Then flash the zip like any thing else.
Once back into the rom, use goomanager from play store. click menu and install recovery scrpit. Once done, it will ask you do you want to install twrp 2.6.3.7. yes you want to do this. Twrp 2.6.3.1 dn has known issues with the Note 3

It's not going to. It does not have to time load the drivers for you to interact with. You will need to pull your sdcard out of the phone.

On here's what you do, as I had the EXACT same problem that you have. I fixed my brickloop by doing the following:
(I would backup your efs partition before doing this, just for completeness sake)*
Installed Stock firmware via Odin,*
Installed TWRP 2.6.3.2 via odin, rebooted to recovery
Did an "adb shell" when phone is in recovery mode to run commands via TWRP
From the ADB shell: Wiped the EFS partition with the following command:
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12*
mkdir /efs
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /efs
(the last two commands probably did nothing, but thats what I did anyway)
Did a Factory Reset*
Then... reboot to system
Afterwards, no more boot looping, the phone successfully registered on the mobile network, and my IMEI is there and correct. Seems like the EFS partition can rebuild itself now I guess...These commands can also be ran from TWRP

Not to sound like a jerk...but this is the reason why companies lock down bootloaders and what not. You can fix this issue that you caused by following a few steps or getting an SDCARD reader for your computer and transfer the files to it that way. They are dirt cheap. It is not Tmobiles fault that you screwed up a flash. Just my 2 cents.

[Q] What steps am I missing with my install to kitkat?

To start off the kindle had an older version of twrp and had a version of ice cream sandwich. Those work correctly and it continues to work correctly after a nandroid restore.
Fast forward to now, I installed the latest twrp and flashed the latest FFF v1.5 bootloader.
I flashed this CM11 nightly cm-11-20140702-NIGHTLY-otter.zip
and flashed latest gapps gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip
After I finish flashing everything I can setup the kindle but once I reboot it goes into a bootloop at the CM logo that results in a colorful screen. If I power off and power on it just bootlopps at the CM logo. Not sure what else I can do. Any help is appreciated.
Forgot to add. I have tried flashing Pacman rom: pac_otter-nightly-20140701.zip and I get same results as above.

Never thought about that. I just downloaded the version in the twrp thread.

OK so I have twrp 2.7.0.1. Here's the screenshot in recovery. Does your twrp look like that because my other twrp on other devices look different logo wise.

U need to inform ur version of bootloader, twrp, and which ROM u r trying to flash. Let us know the name of the file.
Did u wipe before flashing?
Twrp7 can't be use for flashing JB. U ending up using JB by flashing ur old twrp and ROM? Or by flashing via twrp7?

Yeah still stuck at cm logo after powering back on or rebooting. File names are in the op but let me know if you need anything else. Clean instalI with a wipe. I even used the twrp version SD_shadow provided and I still installed KitKat and installed jb bit still see the issue. And positive to original kindle. I'm thinking I should make a video of my install process. Thanks for the help guys.

No idea.. Sorry.
Anyway, if you successfully install JB with TWRP 7.. That's weird.

Here's a better look of twrp version and zips I have. Also the bootloader version is v1.5 not v1.4.

This is all with a full wipe including the system?

At first it wasn't. I was just doing the normal Factory Reset in twrp but on the last try I included system as well. Let me try again.

Full wipe recommended when changing a system. Wait for boot don`t be impatient.

Doing that now. I don't have to flash the bootloader every time, right?

The bootloader gets flashed 1 time and 1 time only. Unless perhaps there is an upgrade you never do this in correlation with flashing a new ROM period.

Swipe factory reset then go advanced select dalvik, cache, system then swipe again. Flash rom.zip, flash gapps.zip in zip form mind you then select reboot system.

[Q] No OS installed stuck in bootloader

Alright so Im having a problem, i bought the htc one m8 sprint version, and a system update came out for it. It was urgent it said and installed itself on my phone. After a while of using it my phone started force closing and rebooting constantly, to the point where i couldn't do anything.(my device was rooted before it was installed, the boot loader was unlocked and TWRP installed). I went to my TWRP settings to try and uninstall the update and somehow managed to wipe EVERYTHING in my phone, and it now says i have no OS installed. when i try to boot my device it gets stuck in the HTC load screen with the green logo, white background, and t says powered by android at the bottom and it goes no further. I tried to side load the viper one ROM and the G-apps and its saying its successful. But its still getting stuck in the load screen. I tried to go to my backups in TWRP restore and all of the ones are empty. can anyone help?

Go into fastboot, flash the latest TWRP, sideload or copy onto a sdcard a nandroid backup and back it up through twrp. that should do it

Roms here are custom roms. If you want your true original software i suggest you read up in my nandroid collection thread. Check my sig for the link.

I'm always surprised and disappointed how many posts go like this "I wipe system, so why don't I have an OS?"
If you don't know what it is, why on earth are you wiping it?????

That behaviour reminds me of my 3 year old son....always touching and tapping the laptop but has no clue what he's doing.....but the difference is he's allowed to, he can't READ !

I'll be honest... I did this when I first got it. twrp was saying no OS installed so I got nervous and wipe happy, accidentally wiped it all. Lol. Goid thing I knew what I was doing though.

Yeah, but you knew what you had done (and how to recover) right?
Its the "I wiped OS guys, why don't I have an OS now?" that bugs me.
Usually accompanied by "I didn't bother to make a nandroid, have a ROM zip handy on the phone, or have adb setup".
I mean, we all make mistakes. Especially early on. But to make such a mistake, not be able to figure out (the fairly obvious) reason why it happened, and have made no preparations for recovery . . . its just not the right way to go about things.

Well I didn't fully understand what I had done until I swiped..... :-o just cause I was being a moron. But I knew full well how to sideload. I guess I can understand why we are seeing these cause twrp has some partition problems plus from what I've read GE & sense have different partitions as well. So flashing a custom recovery that says NO OS can freak some newbs out. And apparently me a little as well.

I have a similar issue. My phone says no os. I can still get to twrp but nothing is there. no backups, no nothing. I've tried flashing ruu's and side loading but nothing takes. I keep getting errors. My boot loader is still unlocked, but now says s-on. Can anyone help?

Now it says s-on? I'm assuming you did firewater or sunshine then, and successfully got s-off. That's rather odd. You best best in my opinion is to get an external SD and dump a ROM on it. Also check for the unofficial twrp in original development under..... Oh crap I'll post it here. Hold up

When I try to flash a zip thru adb I keep getting FAILED (remote not allowed)
any idea how to get around that? I also tried several different roms on external sd card but they would not flash. Kept getting failed on twrp

Signature verification failed? What does getvar all say? Please post results? Did you achieve s-off before?

Did you do a factory reset in bootloader? This should never be done on a modded phone, as it corrupts the phone's internal memory. I haven't seen the issue of going back to S-on before on this device. But the other symptoms seem indicative of internal memory corruption.
