this guy already made two threads asking how to install this rom and was answered multiple times.
HERES THE SUREFIRE WAY TO INSTALL THIS ROM
permaroot the phone (not temproot...permroot it, this is pretty important)
install clockwork mod recovery (you can find it in market)
boot into recovery (hold your volume rocker downwards while starting the phone then click recovery)
Install from zip and you're done.
If these steps do not work then there's the alternate method...
throw phone out the window of a moving vehicle. (make sure you throw it really hard)
then in 2 days come back to the place you threw it, not only will the rom be installed but you will also have overclock to power levels of over 9000.
NOTE: Noob is not a really good word. kinda discriminating. newbie better.
THIS will GUIDE how to get on foot if your just starting on Galaxy Y, most probably, ANDROID
1. First Things first. Know your Phone. before doing anything, just be on the stock for a while. Know all the things, settings, install some app and alike. This way, you'll know your way through. See apps like market, Maps and others, check bugs etc.
2. Second part is knowing a basic tweak of your phone, to be exact: BATTERY SAVINGS. Know your way from this apps. See how they handle your battery life. The purpose of this is to know the performance of your phone
3. So you feel much better knowing your phone, you can start rooting or installing some replacement apps Go, ADW, Pansi, Popups, keyboards its up to you. But i dont recommend instant rooting when your just getting on foot.
Rooting wont brick the phone, maybe but its in the least.
(I wont be giving links for many threads here are available already. Its hard just to give you everything when researching can't kill one)
WHAT IS ROOTING?
rooting gives you access to the system of your phone. thats it
Soft ROOT-stated in the above
Hard ROOT-gives you access to the commander of the system which allows you to access the device via shell extensions and ADBs
4. Same as step 1. See how does root work for you. Dont just access the system right away using an explorer. look for apps that can help you achieve your desired goal that requires root access. a good start would be RAM tweaks.
5. Removing apps that you dont need. Its the power of Rooting that grants you this. basically, it improves RAM usage and speed of the device especially when "app-example.apk" initiates on its own. ofcourse it increases the capacity of your device.
6. KITCHENS. for a start you can use the UOT kitchen which allows you to modify some parts of the device. as far as i know, mods like transparency, lockscreen and bootanimation wont work on stock dont ask why coz i dunno sorry. so using this kitchen can allow you to change statusbar appearance pull down notif bar, etc.
but, the MAIN concern of a KITCHEN is ROMS.
ROM is the thing that the device reads for it to run properly.
ROM development are for making a benefit that can help a device achieve its fullest performance. Speeding it up, etc.
You can see the Development Page for it
**EXTRAS:
FLASHING
Flashing is a way of updating or down-dating your device.
Odin is the tool used in it.
If KIES wont let u update. Flashing would be good but you just have to download the firmware you want.
PARTITIONING.
since SGY got a small memory for internal, u can use partitions in the SDcard to let it handle some memory for you.
BOOT recovery:
it is where you flash mini updates like rooting CWMod, UOT kitchen mods and others
**Clockworkmod recovery / CWM is a custom CWM it has additional features moreover see for yourself
i guess thats it ill just edit it if somethings new comes
THIS IS FOR NEWBIES, no noob persons exist: ONLY NEWBIES.
hoped this helps you can just PM me for assistance but for now please bear with this simple guide thanks
PS: im no dev but as soon as i got my laptop ill start im just using a netbook and my phone for learning. so thanks

sure thing but it would be really better if you read some threads here. a lot of those stuffs are already here
1. download the rom you needed/wanted
2. download odin v1.85 w/ totoro.pit
3. turnoff phone remove sim + sdcard
4. open odin and put the files into:
boot
pda
csc
modem
something like that. put there the files you downloaded.
check if re partition etc are checked
then now get the data cable, and put the phone into DL-mode
(HOME+VOL-DOWN+POWER) hold till it boots into DL-Mode
pressing VOL UP- continue
VOL DOWN- Cancel
press the vol up so and youll be on DL mode
connect the cable wait for it to be recognized by the Odin, if ok pray and start.
just takes around a min to do so. the phone then reboots automatically. do a hard rest and boot again.
voila
since your a filipino you can check symbianize.com for infos. reading some guides there by our masters will surely help you
*so as the rules say here read threads first before asking though its ok for me. it would be nice if i'd helped you bro

hey all, im on stock jellybean for my s3. all my friends have stock s3's for verzion, atnt and metroPCS. in thier camera app they all have an option to turn shutter sound off, but i dont! is there a way to turn the shutter sound off on sprint s3?
believe it or not i believe its a sprint thing. Are you rooted?
no i am not rooted, but little things like this makes me want to root; -_-
i may have a soulution if you aren't down for rooting. need a few mins
Yeoi can change the shutter sound file if you root.
Though if there is an option without root I'd be interested.

You do not need root access to use odin. Just plug the phone into pc in download mode, and run odin.
I for the life of me can't remember how to get to the file to pull the shutter sound, I'm rooted and have ROM toolbox. Would someone mind refreshing my memory please? I'd appreciate it.

Assuming your on touchwiz jellybean go to /system/csc/ and open feature.xml
Find the line that says
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
And change to
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
So galaxy s3 nooby for the root world of this device, what will happen if I flash that? Will my info be wiped or mess up my phone to the point I can't update ota for future updates or what? I want my phone to be stock unrooted and function normal and not messed up. I'm not going to blame anyone if something happens although it's not their fault. I just would like to know what exactly will happen to my phone and if anyone can verify that flashing this via Odin in that one slot will in fact only add an option to camera

thats all it does. period. wont mess up ota's. wont add root. changes nothing but camera sound toggle option.

Heres a new link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39523970&postcount=102 . its an odin one click just extract and run
In my opinion, if you are afraid of root, then you shouldn't be using odin. Changing the camera sound settings requires changing the phone's system files - i.e. it requires root access. odin accesses and changes the root files. I used odin to root my phone.
so if you want to change such details about your phone, you will need to make a decision...

theres nothing wrong with odin. its stupid comments like this that scare people away from customizing their ****.
Samsung didnt make odin for people to root with, it is made to restore a phones firmware. That is what this is doing. Its a stock system with no root. root is not needed to use it. OTA's WILL NOT be affected. I did this with ICS and the JB ota went down just fine. So you dont need to "make a decision."
Billard. I am bone stock JB. Minus root obviously. I will do that. Thanks.
Update: I changed it to true and no go. Still has sound. Changed false to true and saved it in root explorer. Ideas?

Go to system/media/audio/ui/ and rename the file "shutter.ogg".
Not as elegant as a menu option, but this at least disables the sound.
Sweet deal. I just changed it to shut.ogg, and it worked fine. Thanks. :good:

when you changed the value to true did you reboot after or did you try to go straight to the camera?
Oops. Just straight to camera. I'm smart....lemme try that. Thanks. Haha.
Okay, so I rebooted twice, and double checked, I have the value changed to true, and it still has shutter sound. So I'm gonna just change the shutter.ogg file again.

Also, i cant play Modern Combat Sandstrom!
Thats really really DISSAPOINTED.
Cm10alpha3, never tried it, cuz, Camera not work...
If u know a good mod for gaming + no bug + all apps compatible in play store,
please write here...
and 1 more question, is there any way to restore rom?
I thnk it's better if my galaxy w return to normal (Gingerbread 2.3.6) than using MOD ROM which not working on some apps.

For reverting back to stock rom just flash it using odin and download the stock rom from samsung official's web pages

If it's possible... can u gimme the proper link to get orignal ROM?
Hey man, you can easily find stock roms on the Development section of Galaxy W's xda. Please be careful! I bricked my galaxy W (soft-brick) using Odin. I was able to get Clockworkmod (custom recovery) flashed with odin though. When flashing the stock rom i got a bootloop. IF you get a bootloop, try flashing clockworkmod with odin and installing a rom through clockworkmod. Good luck and happy flashing

Pressing thank will be more appreciated rather than posting it
And for your answer just look in this thread, there are a flashable zip file for easy use. And link to find stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33205786
And remember read all the instructions CAREFULLY if you are new to this to reduce the chance of brick
Brick: there are 2 kinds of brick
A) soft brick: a situation where your phone cannot enter
the home screen / boot
Solution: flash stock rom via odin / restore backup
B) hard brick: a situation where your phone cannot boot
at all, can be caused by hardware failures, etc
Solution: bring it to SCC to be repaired.
For how to flash using ODIN try and read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21875819
In that thread he provide some stock rom to use too, and give him a proper thanks if that thread helps you.
Hope this helps and answers your question. If it is then pressing thank will be much appreciated

brick means when you ruin your phone making it as worthless as a brick. Usually things which are tested and those which user "the-e" post wont brick your phone. There are two types of bricks, soft brick and hard brick meaning that soft brick can be brought to life easier than Hard brick.
Regarding "driver not found" have you installed kies on your computer? this might help. Also maybe you need to enable USB mass storage from your phone when you are connected too; im not sure but these might help you.
I found the problem happening to me.
You need to go Pristine.
About how check the General Section.
Fragments of data will remain in phone causing failures of certain installation of apps.
And CM10 camera is working. There's just one small bug which does not affect of taken picture AT ALL.
My CM9 is working fine. All apps I failed to install before is now fine after going Pristine. Cheers! :victory:

What's up fellas. Just picked up a 10.5 tab S (should be delivered tomorrow)
Had a few questions..
I am definitely going to root as I need my titanium backup among others.. Is xposed working on this device?
Mainly for YouTube ad block.
I will be using this as a movie watching device Mainly. Are there any stock based roms that are recommended? I don't want to lose features like multi window by flashing CM.
Also.. I would think a holo or aosp rom theme would be clutch on this device bc of the battery saving factors of an amoled screen, is there anything recommended?
Lastly, any battery saving tips? I usually watch my movies & shows with airplane mode on my Nexus 7, 10 and iPad. Seems to really make a huge difference..
Thanks and I look forward to helping out in this community.
Xposed does work on this device. Stock rooted should be fine for ya, you just need to remove some bloat to remove lag. To save battery, turn adaptative display off and set it to cimema because your watching movies and it would waste battery trying to adjust the tone all the time. Also turn off auto brightness and set it to one that is bright for you. And finally greenify is a good app to hibernate apps after you open them and will stay hibernative until you open it. I got a couple more but cant remeber them right now. Anyway hope you enjoy your tab s! You will see me around the q and a fourms and general fourms most times if you need anything. What version of the tab s did you get? Ex wifi, lte, etc

Thanks for the tips. I have a note 3 so I'm Sorta familiar with the touchwiz bs. I saw a thread on which apps are "safe" to freeze with titanium backup.
Usually someone makes a stock based rom with all the bloat removed but I haven't really seen one yet unless I'm missing it.
I purchased the Tab S 10.5 as I was upgrading my Nexus 7. I was not happy with the Nexus 9. It was built like garbage and had bad battery life and screen bleed. Very disappointed in HTC.
I also purchased the official S book cover which should look absolutely gorgeous.
Is the Chainfire CF auto root the way to go?
Again... Thanks.

Is it the wifi version? Sm-t800? There is a thread on safe apps to delete but someone said it bricked their tablet doing so. Just know what your deleting and it should be fine. There is one debloated rom but the developer has been really busy so he cant fix some bugs. If you have the supported version for cf auto root, then thats the way to root. Before rooting though, please wait till you root as it will viod your warrenty. Wait like a couple weeks incase you have a deffective device. Reports of bad battery happened on this tablet becuase of a loose battery connector. You should get about 8hours screen on time, so if you dont get that much battery life then it might be deffective. Anyway if everything is good root with cfautoroot. I cant wait till we get Andriod L though! And enjoy your tab s.!

Yes.. It is the wifi version.
I'm very familiar with root and rom. Been flashing roms since 2011. Everything from Samsung, Nexus, HTC and LG so I'm familiar with adb to Odin as well as wugfresh toolkit
I'll definitely run it through its paces before tripping Knox and voiding the warranty.. Good looks

Lol. I was a complete noob when i got my tab s in july. I knew nothing about andriod and only apple stuff. I never knew you could install custom recoveries and roms until i got my tab s. Anyway we do have a recovery, its twrp. Twrp 2.7.7.something or somesort is the most recommended build since the latest update has some bugs.

Also.. Are we flashing that in Odin as well?

Nope just needs root! Just search twrp in the play store, and it the install, and your device should be chagalwifi if im correct. And done. Now you just have to boot in recovery and it should be there. Heres the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2817100

That's crazy. I've never seen that before where you don't have to flash twrp in Odin on a Samsung device. Crazy.
Do you know if quick boot app works to reboot into recovery or download mode

For me I dont use quick boot. But i have a custom reboot menu and it should be the same. Rebooting into recovery works with an app but rebooting into download mode with the app doesnt work. You have to do it with the vol down, home, power buttons at the same time when your turning your tab s on. And yeah custom recoveries are easy to install now. As long you have root, it just replaces a recovery file and done.

I used Flashify to flash TWRP and it couldn't be easier.

Good thing about Flashify is it allows you to make a backup of the stock recovery.

I forgot to make a backup of stock recovery. Lol I only use twrp. But it is recommended to backup stock recovery.

Thank you sir. Looking forward to it. Does this tablet suffer from the non reading sdcard bc of Kitkat? I read that there is an app fix for it? I'm currently looking for a good SanDisk card deal. I bought the 32gb version so a 32gb card should suffice
if your gonna but a tab s 10.5 soon see this. While its a semi loop hole and ymmv, I was the buyer and they had no problem reducing the price on a brand new tab
