If you're on Amon Ra, wipe everything, except SD Card and then reflash the ROM.
Remember, it's gonna take a while to boot up.

'Best" is determined by the user; I personally like CM7; you can get it here.

For all others, browse the development section of the evo forums.

im pretty sure you can mount in CWM
go into mounts and storage and do usb mass storage ....i think, never had to use it so idk if it works. good luck!
you can mount to SD through recovery, in the "mounts and storage" section.
Did you not make a back up?

you can, but if you do not have the stock recovery, it might not work.
i have the unoffical touch-enable recovery and it wont mount to USB

well you learned your mistake. always do a nandroid, before you flash something.
try flashing another kernel, or install a new ROM

thats sucks. thats why i loved sd cards. stupid internal storage only
well i guess ur only option is to do a factory reset, if u cant get past the bootanimation.
You mean to say that you no ROMS at all on your SD card that u can flash just to overwrite the current kernal that is on there? You might have to do some reading on adb
ok guys I have uploaded a ROM to a directory i can install from CWM, so i'll do a wipe etc.. and install ROM?

Yes,do a full wipe (data/factory, cache, and Dalvik) then flash ROM then flash Franco's kernel.

ok i did system wipe and then flashed the ROM, phone is back up and running. I thought the kernel would stay anyways? I need to reflash the kernel?
Yes, most ROMS come with a kernel, some stock some not.

Ive had the same issue. CWM does not see my sd card so I had to put all the files onto the internal memory. i was still be to root and install roms.

Give me a hand will ya?

Currently running on AOKP OTA ver. 3.2
I would like to have someone who can guide me slowly step by step carefuly to whatever better option there is.
I been having lots of troubleshooting with phone not responding how it should and I have to keep rebooting to often.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you
Since you're running a custom rom, you could update your recovery to the latest CWM or TWRP and flash a different or updated rom.
Could you help me to do that?
Just guide me step by step.
Ok I already did a backup.
What custom recovery are you running? The first thing would be to get the latest img for your custom recovery and install it.
How did you root and install a custom recovery on your phone?
I am running AOKP OTA Ver. 3.2
That time I did it following a step by step guide with someone who was guiding me.
Hmm what else would you like to know?
That's the OS. What program did you use to backup your rom?

Oh…sure sure.
One I use is Team Win Recovery Project v2.4.1.0
You should update to the latest TWRP from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/104
You can flash it using Odin. Make a full backup using the new TWRP. Find a rom you want to try, save it to the phone, and flash it using the ypdated TWRP. Don't forget to wipe the phone before changing ROMs.

Ok So I delete the older TWRP get the new one.
Then back and wipe which of all the options?
And of course if I was using AOKP which I really liked, what will your recommend me?
Installing the latest version of TWRP will overwrite the version on your phone.
Install the newest version of TWRP, create a backup of your rom using the new version of TWRP, find a rom you like, copy the ROM to your phone, boot into TWRP, wipe cache, dalvik, data, flash the ROM, reboot.

You can download it directly to your computer and use Windows Explorer to copy it to a microSD card or directly to your phone. It's probably quicker to download a few to your computer and transfer them all at once so you can try different ones.
Have fun flashing ROMs.

Ok as I extract the rom to my external sd card of my phone it's asking me many permissions such as:
"Do you want to copy Cesium.ogg to your device?
Your device might not be able play or view this file."
I said yes to skip all of the next warnings because every time i hit yes comes another warning.
Also strangely the rom took forever to download and the extraction is also taking way to long.
I didn't had to go through so much stuff by that time I downloaded AOKP rom. :/
Still extracting as I update this post... Something is not right...
I will have to cancel this.
It's stuck.
Do not extract the files. Just flash the zip.

Ah, to late I'm currently trying to find the right download link for Slim Bean rom.
Mind if you help me here?
My device is an I747.
UPDATE:
I believe is this one?
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...o/6801-slim-d2att-4-3-build-2-2-official-1738
UPDATE!!
Yup it's done.
Thank you very much for your patience.
Quick question.
How do I restore all my phone data such as my contacts numbers and messages from the back up I did with the other rom?
Do I just restore the last backup and it should recognize the new rom?
UPDATE!
So it went back to where it was of course.
How should I back it all up and restore in the new rom?
Looks right. I have an i747m, not the i747.

Soft bricked my device, Odin failure everytime

I tried installing xposed framework via TWRP and ended up with a bootloop. I attempted to fix this by using Odin, however I keep getting a failure. I also tried to use MTP via TWRP and I keep getting a failure when copying over a file. I am in desperate need of help!

Don't leave me hanging here guys
Well if you are updated to current tou would be oe1 no longer bob7 and oe1 cant be rolled back to bob7. Best thing there is one rom that works that is bob7 and that is noterized rom. This is a great rom as well to be stuck on till the oe1 tar is released or rumored oe3 being tested. Just download and follow SaintZ93 installation instructions. Hopw this helps.
Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Can you throw some ideas at me on how I can transfer files to my phone? MTP doesn't work

If you have twrp you can mount it to computer and do a slow transfer but works, or pull sd card and transfer straight to card. Then place back in phone and do wipe x3 not sd card, restart recovery and then install rom from sd card. and then follow instruction for Rom installation.

Do you have another sd card you can use or another phone to reformate the sd card. then follow needed steps to have twrp install rom. as well you should be able to move to phone storage to flash this rom just do your wipes first then twrp to comp and move to internal memory (phone). Make sure you have a good brand sd card as well the cheap 12 dollar ones just dont cut it most of the time. I try them and most of the time i get burned.

Like he said...if you took OE1 update, Notorized rom is the only one out there right now that will work with the OE1 kernel. All the other roms out there are written and work with previous firmware kernel BO7.
That is correct this rom is the only one i have gotten to work, we are waiting on the OE1 Tar to drop so Dev can start to switch over but I have a feeling we wont see a TAR till oe3 comes out. Which in that case you can not go to oe3 till the TAR drops and flash through Odin. Sorryman but you are stuck, the best part at least it is a great rom to use and stable.

how do i install twrp on oe1 update
Even on OE1, I believe it's still the same as normal:
-download odin to your pc, download twrp to your pc
-power off Note 4 first, then turn on by pressing: power + home + volume down (then hit volume up to continue when prompted on screen)
-connect phone to pc (download/install samsung drivers if you haven't already), now load up odin & make sure you're connected to phone & now you can install TWRP
