[Q] question about installing roms

Hi all, this is my first post and i hope to take advantage from it.
I've done a lot of research in the android development forums. The first thing i did to my phone was to get it rooted. So far so good, i followed the instructions and everything went ok.
Now i want to install a ROM. Thing is there is a lot of terminology i do not quite understand and i want to know for sure how this process is done correctly. In theory i know how to install a ROM but some disclaimers keeps me from doing it.
The main question here is, my phone has to meet some prerequisites in order to install a ROM? I mean, the android version of my phone, baseband version, kernel version and build number necessarily need to have the same characteristics from the ROM i will be flashing? For example, Team Kang's Juggernaut base band version is T989VKID mine is T989UVKL1, the android version is 2.3.5, mine is 2.3.6 and so on. That basically is it. I do not want to mess up my phone but at the same time i wanna enjoy those great roms.
Thanks in advance and i wish a happy valentine's day to all

Download ROM manager. Pick install from sd card. Wipe data and cache. Pick the ROM you downloaded. Just make sure you only install roms from this forum

The answer to your question is basically no. Roms don't change your baseband. So that doesn't matter. If your on 2.36 and you install a 2.35 ROM you'll just be on 2.35. But in the case of a kickass ROM that would be just fine.

You can do backups from whichever source, it doesnt matter

Thank you Dark Knight. I am in the same situation as you. The only difference is that I have yet to root my phone because I haven't gotten a microSD card yet. Would you mind me PMing you with some questions? haha, noob to noob.

thank you so much for helping, ive been looking to confirm all this info. thanks

Hey i succesfully installed the juggernaut rom thanks for the info again.

instead of using rom manager, I would suggest doing everything from the CWM recovery itself. The manual way is always better and you encounter less problems along the way..
i.e. backup/restore isn't complete. didn't wipe everything clean... etc.

Yeah that's what I do, besides I hate how rom manager saves backups on my internal memory
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

I could be wrong but I think the last version of CWM wont let you make backups to the internal but you can flash from the internal. But the newest touch version that just came out a few weeks ago does have internal suppoert for backups so you have to flash the latest one. And I would listen to them when they say not to use rom manager there are far too many problems with it. Also the latest version of juggs is 4.1 and that is 2.3.6. I would use that one. Good luck

Yes i hope that newcomers take the time to read everything carefully. Hey i got a question... This is the very first rom i flashed to my phone. If i want to switch from one rom to another, i just cant flash it over the current one right? Phone might brick? What do i need to know before flashing a new rom to my phone. Thanks

You normally have to do a full wipe b4 installing a different ROM.
Chk out this site (galaxys2root.com) it gives me a lots of EASY TO UNDERSTAND info when i started playing with ROMs.Currently i am on my fifth ROM .

Yes do full wipe, Clear caches and do a nandroid back up first thou and make sure after flashing and re booting to let it sit for 10min

Running Multiple MODS?

Hi There,
I currently have SGH - i747 running CM10. (ROGERS)
I am wondering is there a way to run another MOD? Or would I have to get rid of CM10?
Im looking for a multi boot function so I can toggle between various mods.
Ive searched the forums for a thread pertaining this discussion but was unable to locate it.
Please steer me in the right direction.
Cheers!

There's a dual boot siyah kernel for the international s3 (i9300) but I'm pretty sure there isn't one for our i747/i747m variant yet

This is correct, also, you are going to confuse people by calling it a MOD.. a mod is a different type of change to your phone. You are referring to a ROM which is the phone's operating system.

You are totally right. I meant ROM.
So basically I would have to BACKUP my current MOD to my SD CARD then I would be able to install a new ROM. and If I wanted to go back to my OLD ROM I would just restore it?

Yes. In recovery you would make a nandroid then proceed with your wiping and flashing of the new ROM.

note i317m cant read sim after unlock

I bought a note i317m off craiglist and he had flashed a verizon rom on a rogers (i think) canadian phone.
I went back to 4.1.1 and performed the free unlock. It read my sim fine, i made calls, connected to LTE, etc.
I flashed a 4.2.2 rom and now i cant get it to read any sim i put in to it (all the sims work and some were active)
imei under phone info matches the sticker
Can anyone recommend a way to completely restore this phone. Format the entire sd and start fresh?

Ok from that model# that shows sounds like someone or who ever you got it from, flashed a Verizon Rom on there?? Because that's there model#for there GN2.
Team win is the custom recovery, call TWRP!
Next you can just Odin back to stock and hopefully you'll b good to go.
But I think you should start here for your info!! A lot of your questions will b answered there... :thumbup:

You'll just have to wipe your internal STORAGE. But just back up anything that you'll like to keep. If you use Odin back to stock then, there will be nothing on your phone!! Afterwards

Do i do that through recovery? Do i have to reflash my rom or anything?

Yes you do it thru recovery! If that's the one that you want to use(Rom) then no need to re flash anything.. but you will have to set it back up again. But I do recommend TWRP it's a lil easier to use to me personally! But I'm say use what your use to using! Then there's no problems lol.
Don't forget to grab (back up)what you want off the phone b4 you do this wipe:what:. Because your going to lose everything. I've just done this recently, meaning cleaning out my phone completely!

AT&T Note 3 ROMS on Tmobile version?

Hello,
I have an unlocked Tmobile Note 3 (running on AT&T network) and I would like to know if I could install roms from AT&T version on it? If so, do I need to do anything special for it?

I was just about to post the same question. I am still trying to search for a way to get ISIS working and at the same time not tripping Knox. I think this method may be it. I read some folks on the AT&T forum (AT&T Note 3 running on T-Mobile network) got ISIS working by flashing a T-Mobile based ROM.

Your best bet is go ask in at&t forum. They would have better answers. You will lose WiFi calling

Don't care for Wifi calling as I'm on AT&T network anyway.

Yes the AT&T Roms will work fine. You just need to follow these steps.
1. Backup
2. Wipe
3. Install AT&T ROM
4. Install T-MO n900t TW kernel of choice
5. Install n900t NFC/WIFI fix zip (this is necessary for international ROMs to work so I assume you need it for ATT also. I did it and it works fine for me) FOUND HERE

Honestly, KNOXRAID was the best one...but that got shut down due to some drama. Not sure if the download files are still available but that's what I was running. I've heard good things about the BOBCATROM port too, but that was uploaded by the same guy so I dont know if the links are there still. I think you can try any of those safely. You have to be careful on the international ROMs though because if you don't download the right ones for your phone it will wipe your internal memory (PITA).
I also edited my first post to include a link for the NFC / WIFI fix.

Thanks you for the help. I just installed the Tmobile version of the Hyperdrive rom and will give it few days before I try the AT&T ones.

From all the all roms I have seen, its not available yet...
And as for the patch I was thinking of trying it but im afraid of bricking my phone. You can flash that rom as long as the rom doesnt install two files( which are carrier related). I just cant remember what files. Just read in that thread and look for those files. when u download the rom use root explorer and check that the rom doesnt have them in there.
Let me know how it goes ?

So to confirm, you tried the patch at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086394 and you got stuck on the flashing Samsung logo? Me being the noob that I am, I (stupidly) decided to simply go ahead and flash the N7100 version on my L900 following the instructions for the N7100 (original) varient. It of course bricked me, never got anything beyond the flashing Samsung logo, just does that forever until I pulled the battery.
However, by attempting to flash it I seem to have created other problems and here's where I'm stumped. I am now unable to restore my TWRP Nandroid I made of my stock rooted MK4 before flashing, restoring that results in getting stuck at the flashing Samsung logo (again). It doesn't matter what options I restore in TWRP (System, Boot, Data, etc) it has the same result: the flashing Samsung logo forever and ever and ever. I read somewhere that 4.4 (the DN3 ROM) messes with partitions because it enables multi user support...could that have anything to do with it? The only way I have been able to get my device back working is flashing stock unrooted MD4 TAR through Odin. I'd really rather not start from scratch though on my settings and everything though, and the only backup I have is that Nandroid, no Titaniums or anything else. Can you help me restore the Nandroid or is it a lost cause?

Did that...still results in flashing Samsung logo hang up when I restore the Nandroid with TWRP . I really haven't the slightest clue why this is happening, as my phone is currently running stock unrooted MK4 flashed from ODIN just fine.

Well I haven't installed Philz recovery yet, but considering my Nandroid was made with TWRP will Philz even see it? The only reason I ask is because IIRC Philz is based off of TWRP, no? What I'm getting at here is that I'm pretty sure Nandroids from different recoveries, for example CWM and TWRP are completely incompatible right?
If I can't restore the backup I made from TWRP in Philz am I dead in the water? If so, I guess I learned my lesson, that is to have a contingency plan such as Titaniums in place (particularly for settings). I guess I really didn't expect a Nandroid to just fail spectacularly...if TWRP really is completely borked up with backup/restore on 4.3 it would be nice if they had a warning somewhere in the recovery or on their site. I would think that would be kind of important to know before you try to use a backup made using their recovery...

Well I haven't installed Philz recovery yet, but considering my Nandroid was made with TWRP will Philz even see it? The only reason I ask is because IIRC Philz is based off of TWRP, no?

Okay lets cover the backup types first. Philz will backup/restore in both twrp and cwm format but you have to select the option. Now about your backup it will still be no good since it was created with twrp.
