can't install rom's anymore - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've a big problem. Each time I want to install a custom rom, I can't. I can install the official roms with odin, but not custom. Before it was working. I don't know what I did wrong but suddenly It didn't work anymore. When I'm in CWM or TWRP and I want to install a rom or another recovery, it hangs at 'opening update package', the screen turns black and after 1 second I'm on the begin screen of the recovery. There's nothing in the log. Only 1 file, chrono kernel 5.0, works. And sometimes i had an error like 'this is a package for codina, not for "a" or something like that. If I try to install a pre rooted rom from odin, it hangs at the screen with galaxy ace 2 on it(I don't know exactly how it's called). It's very very very annoying! Can anyone help me?

here are 2 videos with the problem:

CM10.1 crashed and softbricked itself, can't access the file system

I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 (stable) installed; the other day it crashed while I was on Instagram, rebooted itself, and wouldn't go past the spinning circle screen. Tried rebooting it, now it won't go past the screen before that, with the blue Cyanogenmod man and the Samsung logo.
I have TWRP 2.5.0.0 installed with it, which I don't know how is possible being that the file systems are incompatible, so unless I used Odin to install CM10.1, I don't know how I did it without installing Clockworkmod Recovery over TWRP.
I've been trying to fix it for a couple days now (I'm kicking myself for not getting around to posting here sooner). When I go into TWRP it asks me for a password (which I've never set, I assume it's asking me because that's all it knows to do when the file system is incompatible), which I click cancel at every time, and when I try to do just about anything (including installing new ROMs or recoveries from within TWRP) it gets errors when trying to mount any partitions on the device, so I can't change anything on the phone at all.
I've tried re-installing TWRP AND Clockworkmod Recovery with Odin, and they succeed, but when the phone tries to reboot, the screen just turns off and nothing happens, and I have to take the battery out to do anything else.
So right now I'm totally screwed unless I can fix this thing. I'd like to not have to drop 200 on a Nexus 4 after only a year or having this phone I bought brand new, especially with the Nexus 5 already coming out later this year...can somebody help me???
EDIT: I should clarify that I can access recovery and download mode
If you can get into download mode you can flash a stock image to your phone and restart from scratch. Download the proper stock image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 and flash it in odin.

I should've clarified that I've tried this with a bunch of roms, and it just shows SBA2 in the status box forever. I left it for a full hour before and it never changed.
According to this page http://www.alliance-rom.com/community/wiki/bricked-android/ reformating your external sd card may help. It also links to something I personally have never heard of but apparently this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252 can help unbrick any samsung phone that's flashable with odin.

Soft brick Gnote 3 Neo???

Hi,
a friend of mine had an issue with his Gnote 3 Neo (N7505XEF). Restart again and again and again.
I saw it and I said that I was able to fix it.
Went to recovery, wipe data/cache.
Reboot, and phone starts an update of sytem.
Before the end, bootloop on "galaxy note 3 lite" screen. Noway to have "samsung" bootanimation.
I ask him if he had installed an app recently. No for 4/5 days, and no issue since.
An OTA came sometimes ago and no issue with it.
So, I took his phone and expect to flash a stock firmware with odin. That what I've done with latest french firmware (5.1.1)
Reboot and.... bootloop
Sometimes, bootanimation "samsung" appears but doesn't go to the end of process, and restart the phone in "galaxy note 3 lite".
I wiped everything, test some others firmwares from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1.
I can always enter recovery and download mode, but the issue is usually the same, bootanimation doesn't finish.
I search everywhere but found nothing.
I remember with my old Gnote 2 that I had to install stock recovery once to solve a starting problem, but here, I can enter recovery, so I don't think that it is the same error.
Perhaps a kernel issue? I don't know, and I can't find them on the web!!
The phone has always been full stock, with no tweaks (root, custom recovery or rom....) The issue arrives without any signs. Hardware problem? Perhaps, but never been drown or wet....
What do you think I can do to solve this? Cause at the moment, I don't see haw I can!!
Thanks for all.
Yoh from France.
Excuse my bad english.
Keep trying and making a factory reset could help after installing a new rom. But I can't see more things.
Excuse my english, I'm french

S4 Mini GT-i9195i crashes after recovery - (how to reinstall stock ROM)

Hi,
I have Galaxy S4 Mini VE GT-i9195i. The phone was a bit laggy, so I decided to factory reset. When I did it, the phone didn't booted. It was showing Odin download screen with red text "Could not do normal boot, odin mode" (or something like that). In thread [index] Galaxy S4 mini i9195i were some recoveries, so I used odin to recovery it. Now, when booting, it shows "Kernel is not seandroid reinforcing, set warranty bit:kernel" and when it boots up, there is setup screen (the one which shows when you firt turn the phone on), but the phone is spamming with message boxes "<random process or app> stopped working", so I can't do anything(by fast taping OK, I manage to get through few screens, but when it come's Google account choose, the screen goes black).
I tried another recovery, but none of them worked.
In the forum, there is also link to stock ROM, I think wiping all the data and flashing the phone with stock ROM could help, but last time I did something like this was about 5 years ago with Xperia, and I couldn't find any guide how to do this, so could you guys please tell me what to do?
Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I think flashing the stock rom is the last best option. Anyways here r the steps:
1. Download Odin 3.1x.x version( its the program via which you can flash samsung stock roms, modems,recoveries and caches etc,...google it)
2.If possible, before doing anything to your phone, take a nandroid backup from recovery like TWRP or CWM)
3.Hold power+home+volume down button to boot into bootloader menu. Once booted, it will ask you to press volume up button to continue, do that.
4.Now connect your phone to your pc via data cable( kindly confirm that your pc usb ports are working properly otherwise the flashing will corrupt)
5. Open Odin. If connected properly, you will see the ID:COM tab turn blue mentioning the port name you connected.Now click AP on right hand side and search /select the location where your Stock rom(md5) file is located. Now on left side panel(logs) you will see something is going on. Wait for a few minitues and after processing is done (when you see the lines "leave cs...") Click start and relax.
6.It will take some time to flash the rom. If everything went well, there will be a "PASS" message on top left of Odin. The phone will boot into recovery and do some cleaning and reboot again.......................................................Congratulations!!
Note: I follow this method on GT-9192 and i think its same with your model.
I think the message "Kernel is not seandroid reinforcing" means incompatible recovery software for this device. Try different one.
The only working recovery for our phone is TWRP recovery. Flash the .img through flashify after rooting with Kingroot / Supersu me and you are done . Be sure to flash the stock rom through odin to fix any hiccups with app not responding and after proceed normally.

SM-N910F Won't boot into recovery?

Hello all. This is my first thread because I'm new to this phone modding.
So here goes.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on Vodafone SM-N910F.
Its a lovely phone except I'm bored of it so have decided to flash a new rom.
I used odin to root, then downloaded 'DR KETAN's rom to flash, however it wouldn't boot into recovery.
When it eventually did, and 'DR KETAN' installed, my phone was shoved into a boot loop.
So after a re-flash of the stock rom and a re-root, I now can't boot into recovery again to try again.
Either manually or using an app, to get into to recovery, I get a picture of the little android man, saying android is upgrading (or updating) I can't remember. Then it comes up with a menu which isn't recovery. And I get the message
'DM-VERITY VERIFICATION FAILED'
Please help me.
Someone run me through what I should do, every step if the way because I literally am stuck
(And dumb it down a bit for a Newby please)

Cannot root my S9

Hi everyone,
this is crazy. I followed different guides on how to root my phone but I get the idea I really have to wait for 7 days to have another chance at rooting, or is this just a myth?
I installed twrp, flashed resurrection remix. I had problems with my camera when trying to record video. I always got green flickering on screen. also not able to record more than 60fps (why? isn't s9 supposed to?).
But what struck me most was the fact that my phone wasn't rooted. When installing supersu in the recovery I get the message "sepolicy failed" or something. I guess this is why I cannot root my phone? Installing superuser from the playstore shows me also that I am indeed not rooted.
What can I do? I am all out of ideas and websites...
Should I reflash stock and do the OEM and odin procedure again, and wait 7 days?

Try use magisk 16.6 for root issues, ofc when you use custom rom you dont get full camera potential and these green flickers are just minor cosmic bugs.
"Myth" might want to read up more.
You need to flash twrp and flash the no verity file then flash the custom rom
Or even better, flash soldiers rom instead of the resurrection remix. Didnt you read that theres a camera problem?
Better use magisk for rooting btw, use the 16.6
Now I am in a never ending boot sequence loading resurrection remix. I can only hard reset and enter twrp.
I don't know if the installation or magisk did it, because I cannot boot to the system.
anyideas?

try flash rom + gapps and boot system after that boot recovery and flash magisk 16.6 and boot system
Thanks for the advice. I flashed back to stock firmware to have the zerocam mod working perfectly. But now my lockscreen freezes after a few minutes. So I tried to deactivate my phone going into lockscreen. I get the Black screen of Death now instead when the display turns off into sleep mode. Only way out is rebootingby hard reset, power button+volume down.
What can I do?.... Thanks for Any further advice.
