THIS IS FOR XT907
I decided to start this post for those who encounter issues while flashing. Whether you had trouble flashing your first custom ROM from stock, whether you even had issues trying to get root, whether you had trouble flashing the next custom ROM/update from an existing custom ROM, or whether you have had the Safestrap splashscreen but the softkeys weren't working (like me)..
It's a painful task to RSD everytime you want to make a small change, and it's an even more painful quest to search for every unique case we fall into.. so I would be hoping that everyone could give their input, and maybe help compile a How-to right here, from obtaining root, to installing safestrap and all the way up to flashing a custom ROM. Also following that up with more advanced troubleshooting ie my issues with the safestrap softkeys not working..
I'm going to post up what most other people have posted up, general instructions on how to install a custom ROM.. and also a few handy tips.. in case you ever get bricked.
STUFF YOU WILL NEED:
BACKUP OF JELLYBEAN 4.1.1 FIRMWARE FOR THE M
TO FLASH FIRMWARE INCASE YOU GET BRICKED: RSD LITE (google this and get the latest version of RSD LITE - it's late and I'm actually flashing an UPDATE for Eclipse the long way cuz my softkeys for Safestrap aren't working)
TO OBTAIN ROOT: MOTOFAIL2GO
TO FLASH ROMS: SAFESTRAP RECOVERY
and ROMs of your choice from any of the ROM threads
STEPS courtesy of AndroidJunkies' instructions:
You need to be rooted and have a custom recovery installed on your RAZR M to be able to install this ROM.
You can use this guide to Root your RAZR M and Install Safestrap Recovery
Get the latest version of THE ROM OF YOUR CHOICE from xda forums or other forums of your choice.
Connect your Droid RAZR M to the computer and transfer the downloaded ROM zip file from Step 2 to the SDcard on your device
Now disconnect your RAZR M We need to boot to Safestrap recovery now, To do that open the Safestrap app on your device and use the Reboot to recovery option
At the splash screen, choose recovery to boot into Safestrap. You need to select the option within 10 seconds, to avoid booting back in to the normal OS
The top of the screen should show “Safestrap System is: Disabled” (that is what we want right now and is also referred to as “Non-Safe mode”).
Make a back up of your existing ROM within recovery, Wait for the backup to complete, it might take a few minutes.
In the Safestrap recovery menu, navigate to and enter the Safe Boot Menu and Select Enable Safe System. Wait a few minutes for Safestrap to finish backing up the necessary system files.
Now from the recovery main menu, scroll to Wipe Data /Factory Reset and select it. Confirm wipe in the next step. This could take a few minutes, so don’t panic and be patient.
Once that’s done, select Wipe Cache from the main menu, and confirm it in the next step.
Next, select Mounts and Storage from the main menu and then select Format /system. Don’t worry. Your primary system partition will be untouched.
Once the format is complete go back to the main menu and select Advanced, and from the next screen select Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go back to the main menu and Select Install zip from SD card. Select the Eclipse RAZR M ROM zip file you had transferred to the SDcard in Step 3, and confirm the flash on the next screen
Wait for the ROM flash to complete. Once finished, reboot your device.
For best results, leave the device alone for at least 5-10 minutes after the first boot and let the new ROM settle in. While this may seem unnecessary, it usually prevents issues like inexplicable force closes later
AT ANY POINT IN TIME you get stuck - here are a few handy tips..
TO POWER DOWN: HOLD Power + Vol Up + Vol Down
TO ENTER BOOTLOADER (to choose boot in recovery, fastboot etc) : when phone is off, HOLD Power + Vol Up + Vol Down
TO RESET: HOLD Power + Vol Down
If you ever get bricked, try to enter bootloader, select recovery (THIS IS THE STOCK RECOVERY and when you see the dead android, with the red exclamation mark. The ONLY thing you can press to obtain a response is something like hold Vol Up + Vol Down (what I did was that and when it didn't work I just spammed..)
it's late and it'll take awhile for me to finish this up - but guys please feel free to contribute, I'll update the OP - I'm sure many will benefit from this. As for me I've one last question
honestly, was there an easy way/quick fix when my Safestrap was enabled and I couldn't press the softkeys? I read somewhere that I could disable safestrap.. did not know how to and ended up uninstalling recovery..
then got into a bootloop - so I RSD'd and RE FLASHED everything. painful yeah - this thread is dedicated to those who do not want to go through the trouble I did..
SPECIAL THANKS to

thanks for putting this together. wondering if we have to put the ROM on the "/sdcard" vs. the "mnt/external1" folder. I believe the system (at least on my device) has the "/sdcard" actually stored in the phone's memory, and not the memory card. this is the problem I ran into when using safestrap last time (ran low on memory).

safestrap installed but not usable
I have a system version 98.12.4 on my razr m. I've used motofail2go to get root. Installed safestrap with es file explorer.
When opening app safestrap I have(recovery state: installed) and (safe system: not active). There are no boot options, just install or uninstall and the version 3.12
I power down as normal and boot holding vol+- getting to the boot selection menu 10.9b.
Pressing vol- to select BP TOOLS vol+ to enter and I end up with this unusually formatted form of safestrap which is unusable.
I've even flashed back to stock and gone through the process again to the same result.
Any ideas?

you dont have v3.12, thats the only one that worked for me, your SS is showing 3.11

Strange I know, inside the wrongly formatted recovery it says 3.11. Inside of the app it has a version # 3.12. I downloaded from the link at the top of this page.
---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------
Alright so I found a new download specific to our device. The download in the original post was not working for me - not sure if it's because it was for the razr hd.
Inside safestrap it still gives v3.11 but everything seems to be normal so far for me.
safestrap razr m download:
(apparently not enough posts to put up a link) but if you visit the Hash-of-Codes website there is a download specific for the m.
Previously used this site to root and put CM10 on my old X2, which has since passed on to the next world due to one too many times being dropped....
Trying this process now, hoping it all works out. I'm going to try the energy ROM on for size.
Can't boot to Eclipse?
Thanks to the OP for providing his guide. It was very helpful, and has gotten my 99% of the way there....
I have a Razr M that I recently rooted. I installed the newest version of safestrap (3.12) from HOC's website. I'm successfully able to enter recovery, create a partition, format/wipe it, and install Eclipse.
Everything seems fine at first when I reboot; I get the safestrap screen showing that it's activated. Once I continue the boot process, though, the phone just seems to freeze on a blank screen, without ever displaying a splash screen. I've waited over 5 minutes with nothing happening (several times I've tried this). Using the PWR+VolUp+VolDown button combo I'm able to restart the phone and enter recovery. Stock ROM still works.
I've tried wiping caches, to no avail. Any ideas out there?
Good stuff
This is very helpful. I wish I had known all of this stuff before I started on my M. something I have done that I am not sure will work on all ROMs, so be careful.
For the Eclipse rom, I installed it on a new rom slot, then backed it up. I then restored the Eclipse backup over the stock slot. I would recommend backing up stock first.
P.S. I am not sure if this will work with every rom. Only tried with Eclipse!

Sounds like a bad download and/or flash. I would wipe ROM slot 1, re-format and re-install a newly downloaded version of Eclipse.
So i finally got safestrap 3.11 for M and i was able to backup my Stock slot, then create one on slot 1. When i go to select a zip to install the zip will not show up. I downloaded eclipse twice and it wont install because the zip wont even show up. I cleared everything on stock partition like factory resetand cache, ect. How can i get the zip to show up to install? Thanks in advance guys

Hopefully, you didn't wipe system on your stock slot. If you did, you no longer have an OS installed. When you set up a ROM slot, you don't need to wipe stock. You only need to wipe your custom slot. If you wiped stock, you'll need to fast boot back to stock.
If everything is OK, then you can flash Eclipse on ROM slot 1. You have to choose external SD in SS. The zip won't just magically appear.

No I made sure I didn't wipe stock system partition just factory reset and cleared cache and dalvick sorry. Then I activate slot 1 clear all of that and go to root of SD card and the zip doesn't show. Then I put it in TWRP folder to experiment and still no dice. No idea
Edit. Could it be the SD card? I navigate to device /storage/sdcard1 and it doesn't show anything no folders or anything but if I use es explorer I can navigate to the zip just fine so weird. I even just tried putting a .zip on the end but no go.

Can you upload safestrap for droid razr m cuz when i click on the link it says system offline.
I have a question about safestrap:
I just flashed the new 4.1.2 OTA update through fastboot. I was running eclipse in rom slot 1. Now, it seems safestrap and that partition are gone. Is that so? Am I basically just left with the OTA'd stock rom on my entire phone?
That is what I would prefer, but I just want to make sure safestrap or the space it created aren't lurking anywhere

If you fastbooted to 4.1.2, then it should have eliminated SS, but there are probably still some folders in there. Just use a file explorer and find any "SS" or "SafeStrap" folders and eliminate them.

Last night I soft bricked my phone. At least from what i have read it is a soft brick. The phone will power up to the Samsung Galaxy s3 screen. I can also get into download mode and cwm. I am hoping this means that phone has been soft bricked.
As far as why my phone did this...I booted into cwm and i did a restore through the menu options. I'm not sure if i hit the wrong one, or what exactly happened at this point. Whatever it was loaded and i was unable to get past the gs3 screen.
I tried loading a .Tar file from a tutorial provided by "Theexcel". The tutorial was to flash the new tar onto the phone through Odin. However, in the tutorial, it says to make sure that the flash counter is set back at zero. How can i do this when my phone won't power on. I am not aware of how to reset the counter without getting an app from Playstore.
As you can see, I am new to the forum. I posted here because this seems to be a similar topic.I have ready many other instances of bricked phone. none of them seemed to match my exact scenerio. Please let me know if you have any ideas. I tried to address what i think my be wrong with the phone and some of the steps I have done to try and repair it already. I will gladly provide answers to more specific questions.
Just to clarify Tmobile Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999)
Flash counter not relevant in your case.
Factory reset through recovery should fix your issue.

I may have done this wrong. I think I have tried this though. home+volume up+power, this brings me to my cwm recovery. I did the full wipe and factory reset. after this it still didn't allow me past the gs3 screen. Should i somehow be using android recovery? if so, how do i get that to work again? Thanks
Weird. Try Odining a stock rom.

Thanks Aero! I have tried this already as well. the file i used was T999UVALH2_T999TMBALH2_T999UVALH2_HOME.tar.md5 . I believe this is the stock 4.1.1. Also, I have just heard of md5 checked. I am not sure how to use that solely on my computer. I found a tutorial for doing it on the phone. As you know...not an option right now. I am keeping my hopes up that I don't need to send my phone off for Jtag. Like i said, i can still access cwm and download screen.
I have searched around the forum quite a bit. Do you know of any good instructions to walk me through flashing the stock rom that also includes links to the rom and gapp?
Hold on....you can get into recovery? Once in recovery you just do a factory reset? Do you have a micro SD card? Do you have a micro SD card adapter so that you can connect it to a computer?

Sounds like a boot loop, not a brick. Boot to recovery and wipe data then try to restart the phone.

Don't worry about being a noob. Everyone on this forum is or has been a noob. You'll learn though.
Just follow these steps:
1.) Download this ROM on your computer (the latest from T-Mobile, stock rooted):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126679
2.) On your SD card create a designated folder for ROMs (just to make it easier to find the ROM when it comes time to flash it), then find the ROM you have just downloaded and put it in the folder you have created on the SD card
3.) Power on the phone, Boot into recovery which is also known as CWM by (volume up, home button and power button)
4.) Once in recovery do the following:
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-wipe date/factory reset
-install zip from external SD card
-navigate to the folder where you placed the ROM in step 2 and select it and and select yes to flash it.
-when finished flashing go back to the main menu and select reboot device
(Device may take a few minutes to fully boot so let the phone sit and do its thing)
5.) When phone is booted up, go through the setup process with your email and what not.
6.) AFTER GOING THROUGH THE SETUP PROCESS, REBOOT DEVICE BACK INTO RECOVERY (CWM) AND SELECT RESTORE/BACKUP, THEN SELECT BACKUP, WHEN FINISHED REBOOT THE DEVICE
7.) AFTER YOU HAVE REBOOTED YOUR DEVICE GO TO THE PLAY STORE AND DOWNLOAD THIS APP:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tore/apps/details?id=com.j.y.daddy.customizer
8.) ONCE DOWNLOADED, OPEN THE APP (should ask for root permissions, hit accept) SELECT TOOLS, SELECT IMEI(S) BACKUP/RESTORE AND SELECT BACKUP.
You are now good to go, you may now flash and experiment with other ROMs. Stay away from the international s3 forum, just flash things that are meant for your S3 model, if you are not sure just ask the dev.
Sorry for the caps lock but steps 6, 7 and 8 will prevent you from major headaches. Especially 7 and 8. If you flash a ROM and your stuck on 2g/edge and your imei is zero, just download that app and open it and restore your imei. Step 6 is helpful just in case if you download a ROM and you run into your current problem you can just restore your backup and your phone will be fine.

If you have Odined a stock rom, how is it that you still have CWM? Did it fail? If you were able to successfully Odin a stock rom, then doing a factory reset should fix your problem.
UVALH2 is 4.0.4. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T999&pcode=TMB#firmware
Try using mrRobinson's root66 of UVDLJC. root66 is identical to the official firmware .tar file in every way except that root has been injected into the system image.

First thing I would do is to remove the battery and put it into the freezer for a couple hours,
then put the battery back in the phone to charge. (wipe the moisture off the battery first).
I know this sounds like a weird thing to do, but it's an old school trick which works most the time.
Once the phone starts to charge leave it alone until it has a full charge, don't play with it til then.

Ok, i have loaded the provided .zip file to my sd card. however, it isn't showing up on my sd card when in recovery. It shows other files, but it won't show the new zip file or the new rom.
I see there is a setting under mount that says "mount external SD card" could this be the reason?

What you have to do is go to the play store and download ROM manger, open ROM manager and install the updated version of cwm, then you shouldn't run into any more problem when flashing ROMs, just make sure the recovery is always up to date.

Hey guys, so I'm deciding to try to put CM 10.1 stable onto my AT&T galaxy s3 obviously. I'm rooted and the superuser file is on my phone sd. Am I suppose to put CM 10.1 and the gapps onto the phone SD as well or am I suppose to put all of them onto my ex.SD card (p.s. It's only a 2gb :/ )? Also, should I try using goomanager or ROM manager or should I just put the files onto my SD and go into recovery and do it that way then? Sorry for the noob questions again, I'm just really knew to all of this stuff

Am I suppose to put CM 10.1 and the gapps onto the phone SD as well or am I suppose to put all of them onto my ex.SD card (p.s. It's only a 2gb :/ )? Also, should I try using goomanager or ROM manager or should I just put the files onto my SD and go into recovery and do it that way then? Sorry for the noob questions again, I'm just really knew to all of this stuff

It's always good to put them on your external SD that way if you wipe your internal by accident you'll still have your ROM and hopefully your backup to gall back on.
If you don't have clockwork mod recovery or twrp installed yet you'll need to take care of that first. Decide which recovery you want, download the appropriate program (goo manager for twrp or ROM manager for cwm)
It'll install your recovery.
Reboot into recovery and you'll want to back up your current setup in case you make a mistake. Than you'll wipe than flash your ROM and gapps and reboot and you're done.
This guide should help you with anything you need.

Thanks a whole lot! I appreciate it! Just a few more questions.
*Here's a real nooby one, how do I know if I have CWM or TWRP installed? I can get into recovery mode and it shows that Rom manager symbol up at the top.
*Should I move the SuperUser.zip file from my internal SD to my external sd and would I have to re-root if I did that?
*Hopefully the last question I have , and should my 2gb ex. SD card be big enough for all of the files and the back ups?

Ok so let's answer the last question first. 2gb is fairly small for anything other than 1 backup (depending on what you are backing up) and a ROM and Gapps. I have a 2gb sd that I keep my stock backup and a couple recovery files on for an emergency and a 32gb in my phone for everyday use.
I'm a little concerned about the SuperUser.zip you have floating around, have you installed it yet?
How did you root? I'm curious to see what steps you take. Because once you root, you than flash custom recovery and install SuperUser.zip IN your recovery. So either you already have recovery installed or you aren't 100% rooted yet.
Once SuperUser.zip is installed you can delete the zip, if you want to. It's merely an install file.
Go to your apps, do you see an app labelled SuperUser or SuperSU?

Ok I re read that again and noticed you mentioned that you got into recovery and you can see the logo for Clockwork Mod.
That's great. If you haven't already installed SuperUser.zip you'll want to do that. Also download ROM Manager if you haven't and make sure your recovery is up to date. The latest CWM is 6.0.3.1 you'll see the build number while you're in recovery.
Once that is all done, in recovery you'll want to make a backup.
After that you'll need to preform a full wipe and than you can flash the ROM and Gapps.

Yeah I have SuperSU installed and it grants me root access for like titanium back up and triangle away and that stuff.
Here's the steps that I used to root:
*Plugged my phone into my computer and copied the SuperSU.zip onto my internal SD
*Unplugged my phone and turned it off and booted it into download mode.
*Then I pressed Vol. Up to continue and then I plugged my phone back in and opened odin.
*I clicked the PDA button and chose the .tar file that I downloaded. (The whole thing that I downloaded was called RecoveryGalaxyS3USCanada)
*I then clicked start and waited till it said passed.
*It passed and then I took out my battery so it would be off and then put it into recovery mode I think. (Vol. up + home + power)
*Then it booted into a menu and I clicked install from SD card and then install zip from internal SD card and then I chose the SuperSU.zip and clicked yes and then it loaded and all that and then I chose to reboot it. It rebooted and then I had the SuperSU app and then I downloaded Titanium backup to make sure I was fully rooted and it loaded and backed it up.
That is all the steps that I did to root my s3. It was a video that I found on galaxys3root.com

No I was wondering because if you were on a Canadian carrier we would have extra steps.
Download ROM manager and make sure that your recovery is up to date it should be 6.0.3.1
Once its up to date you're ready to backup and flash.

And one last thing really haha
I tried to use Rom manager a few days ago and I downloaded cm 10.1 rc5 and the gapps for it and I followed all of the steps from a video I think I found on here somewhere and it was working and all that and then it rebooted and it had the cyanogenmod logo thing loading and then about 1.5-2 minutes later, it said something like, "Setup Wizard has stopped working" and something else like "apps.google" has stopped working. I rebooted my phone after that and it was the same thing again. Have any idea why that happened?

Either one looks fine.
Did you flash the ROM with ROM manager?
That and goo manager are no good for flashing anything other than recoveries.

Rom manager causes a LOT of issues when flashing with it. Same with Goo Manager. Some people have had their devices bricked because of thos programs. They are good for just updating your recovery.
Making a nandroid will allow you to try out new ROMs while still keeping a safe backup in the event you experience issues during or after the OS installation. Be sure your device is fully charged before proceeding onto the backup and flashing procedures.
These are the steps you need to backup/wipe/flash manually.
It will become second nature to you quite quickly.
This is from xBeerdroidx's guide I sent you.
Backup all your pictures and music to your computer before doing any of this so you don't lose it.
1. Power off your device.
2. Press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power buttons at the same time.
3. Release the power button when the device vibrates and you see the blue script in the top left corner
4. You are now in custom recovery.
5. In CWM go to Backup and Restore and select Backup.
6. After backup is finished, select reboot system now or stay in recovery to continue with this guide.
*NOTE: Be sure to save a copy of this backup to your computer and/or micro sd card. Having a recent backup saved to your computer and micro SD card can be useful if something happens to your phones internal memory.
1. If you are not already in recovery, boot in now (Vol Up + Home + Power. Release the power button at vibrate and when you see the blue script in the top left corner).
In CWM:
2. Select Wipe data/factory reset
3. Select Wipe Cache
4. Select Advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Select Mounts and Storage and format /system
6. If you are transitioning from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2 to 4.1, you must also format /data. You will lose all personal data so back it up first.
7. From the main recovery screen:
>>CWM - Choose the "install .zip from SD Card" or "install .zip from external SD card" option (depending on where you placed the files) then navigate to the ROM file, select it and confirm.
8. If you need to flash gapps, repeat step 5 and select the gapps package.
9. Reboot system. It will take several minutes to load so be patient and don't worry. Once the phone is booted, let it sit for 5 minutes, reboot and enjoy!
I want to get the latest update from Samsung and I have been searching for hours trying to find some concrete information. I want to go back to a complete restore to get rid of all of the junk that I have accumulated over the months. Mainly I want to get rid of all the crap because some things on my phone are not working correctly and I am trying to troubleshoot an app for an app developer, I think a complete restore will see if the problem is with my phone specifically or the app just does not work with the US S4. Then I want to update to the newest Samsung update that has not yet been released in the US and then root my phone. After that I want to flash a new rom and kernel. The main thing I need help with, or a least need more information about is if I go back to stock will I lose my root and how can I update to the newest Samsung update. If I lose my root can I achieve root with the newest update? I want to get rid of everything on my phone in the process to gain some more storage. What should I do? Any links or instructions or input would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

Ok. here is what to do:
#1: Go into the settings of the phone >settings>accounts tab>Backup and reset> and click Factory data reset.
#2: Odin flash the latest official stock Samsung M919 Tmobile Touchwiz firmware.
Here is the download link: http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip
After flashing this official Tmobile your phone will be 100% stock and unrooted like the day you bought it.
If you need to download Odin (a windows application), here is the link for it: http://k0nane.info/rom/odin-307.zip
NOTE: this method will wipe your internal sdcard so back it up to your computer if you want to save
anything which is on it now. Also remove the external sdcard from the phone before doing anything.
If you go back to 100% stock you will loose root for sure, but it's easy to
re-root the latest M919 tmobile firmware which is in the link above.
Good luck!

Have you backed up your internal sdcard to your computer?
If you did then connect the usb cable from computer to your phone and open up
"phone" in windows explorer.
See if you have any video's, pictures, music, zip files and nandroid backups on your internal
sdcard using windows explorer so you can see exactly what you have.
Delete all music/pictures/videos/zip files and be sure to check inside the folder and sub folders
in the clockworkmod folder and in the TWRP folder and sub folders and if you see any nandroid
backups delete them. *each nandroid backup takes approx 3GB of space*
Remove your external sdcard first if you have one so you don't by error delete stuff on it.
Good luck!

Sure you can do it all automatically, but I just did not want to post it just in case
you wanted to save stuff on your internal sdcard.
The way to do it automatically is to go into recovery of cwm or twrp
and select the option in the "advanced" section of twrp or cwm of "format SDCARD".
That way it will wipe all the user data including backups, pictures, videos, music, zip files
and or anything else which is on your internal sdcard.
It will not wipe or format any of the protected system files which are required and are part
of the firmware/rom in the phone. So after formatting sdcard the phone will still boot and
work properly like a stock phone.
Good luck!

Thank you for all of your help. I am out of thanks for today and I will try to get you later.
Okay the instructions are wrong.
Keeping this short as I'm mobile..
1 use triangle away to reset binary flash counter as if you don't trying to upgrade will result in "device is modified error" (you must have root for triangle away to work)
2 follow triangle away instructions.
3 once triangle away has worked it's magic, at the end it asks you to reboot normally or into download mode. Select download mode.
4 then once in download mode flash the Odin stock file mentioned above.
5 once that's finished and it reboots itself, hold the volume up key to enter recovery
6 once in stock recovery use volume keys to navigate to "wipe data factory reset" (this is what wipes internal sd card) use power button to make selection.
7 once it's done select "reboot system"
8 let it boot and you now have a truly 100 percent stock untouched device.
There you go.
Once you got the update (which I don't think will be for awhile)
Just use Odin to flash the recovery of choice back to your device then reboot to the new recovery and flash supersu zip in recovery to regain root.

Hi, I will have my hands on this tablet very soon and want to use the Cleanrom that is listed in a thread here. This will be my first time doing this and have been searching around for a guide. I have read a few bits and pieces but would like someone to explain in a few steps so i can get this right the first time.
I found a guide to Root it at rootgalaxynote.com but would like to understand how to install the CleanROM.
Hello,
You have to install TWRP Recovery first, then you need to copy Rom.zip to storage and then flash it using Recovery, dont forget about Wipe.

All you need is to Install Custom Recovery to change ROM, that will allow you to do anything you want with your device (such as System Backup/Restore, installing .zip packages, and etc.) read thread about TWRP so you can find everything you need to know.
But notice the fact you'll lose your warranty installing custom roms, as I know there is no way to change warranty bit back to 0 yet.
All information you need to know about Custom Roms is already there.

Edit: Should i do this first before the TWPR?
Build says CleanRom 1.0 but all apps are still present
My build says CleanRom 1.0 but I still have all of the apps that others say are removed such as Sketchbook. My note was rooted using the AutoRoot file with Odin and then the stock recovery was flashed. I then used the twrp 3.0 file and booted into recovery. I then installed CleanRom (without reset per instructions) and the device rebooted and everything worked except all of the apps were still there. I then tried to re-flash CleanRom and perform the wipe but I then got stuck on the Samsung splash screen to no avail. I booted into recovery and tried re-flashing the CleanRom zip to no avail. All I could do to get this thing booted was to flash the auto-root file again in Odin, re-flash twrp, and install cleanrom again from the recovery but all of the apps are still there. Before I did any of this I had a bunch of the bloatware either frozen or uninstalled in Titanium but now some of those apps show lines through them in TBP. Either way, my device is showing CleanRom 1.0 under the build but I really don't think it is... any ideas on how to fix this?
Hi i'm a newbie on android
i've tried to install this rom a lot of time but unsuccessfully at any time
i've tried all the solutions i found here but none were successfull
i am under TWRP 2.6.3.0
my tablet is rooted but after the rom flash ,when i reboot ,just after the "galaxy note edition 2014" logo there's a black screen
the only way to repair is to flash with the mk1 stock rom after or to restore my old version saved with TWRP
can someone help ?
thanks

My note was rooted using the AutoRoot file with Odin and then the stock recovery was flashed. I then used the twrp 3.0 file and booted into recovery. I then installed CleanRom (without reset per instructions) and the device rebooted and everything worked except all of the apps were still there. I then tried to re-flash CleanRom and perform the wipe but I then got stuck on the Samsung splash screen to no avail. I booted into recovery and tried re-flashing the CleanRom zip to no avail. All I could do to get this thing booted was to flash the auto-root file again in Odin, re-flash twrp, and install cleanrom again from the recovery but all of the apps are still there. Before I did any of this I had a bunch of the bloatware either frozen or uninstalled in Titanium but now some of those apps show lines through them in TBP. Either way, my device is showing CleanRom 1.0 under the build but I really don't think it is... any ideas on how to fix this?

Before flashing your rom perform a factory reset in twrp and format /data. All your apps will be deleted and you should be fine if you are stuck on the samsung boot logo it might help to boot into recovery and format /cache and dalvik cache

So, I did the factory reset in twrp and then formatted the data. Naturally, everything was lost but when I went to install CleanRom it was no longer on the internal memory due to the format... but I did copy it to the Ext SD Card. MY problem is that twrp won't install the zip from the sd card. Each time it says its unable to mount "/data" even though I'm going into "advanced settings" and placing the check mark. I re-flashed twrp and tried using file manager to move the file to the internal storage but came up with the same problem. Also, I can't place the check on mount data for some reason. Now, my tablet starts to boot up but hangs on the samsung screen before the boot animation. Basically, its like there isn't any firmware on it and I tried re-doing the auto-root and stock recovery but thats a no go as well. Is this thing toasted?

Boot into TWRP and click "Restore Back Up" (Cannot remember exact verbiage) . Find where it says internal storage and press it and it will switch to a drop down and you can choose "External SD" Then go back and and it should be going to External SD instead of internal SD when you select install
Make sure you factory re-set. For safety, I advance wipe but I don't think that is necessary.
You may need to re-flash recovery if you're unable to access it.

Your device is not toasted I always have the Rom zip on the root directory of the device so formatting /data will not affect the rom zip. If you cant get it working then you might need to flash a firmware via odin and after that copy the rom on the internal root directory. Resetting your device should not format the whole internal storage so you can install the rom afterwards. Good luck mate

After the holiday (and many stressful attempts) I was finally able to re-boot the device and get past the splash screen. Opening Kies seemed to "kick" past the splash screen even though it said my device wasn't compatible with Kies. Anyway, I flashed the stock recovery, wiped, reset, flashed original firmware via Odin, flashed TWRP again, and then installed the CleanRom zip. Phew... it's FINALLY over with no issues and running smooth. I think the problem came in with TWRP not wiping correctly even though it said it did. I do appreciate all of the help and advice as you guys are life-savers!
Exnyos?

Make sure you get the right version, whether Quality or Exnyos. I had a freeze until I got the right version.

When I installed with TWRP 2.6.3.3 & 2.6.3.1 I got the write permission denied and then I tried with 2.6.3.0 it got hung while installing CleanRom 1.5R2. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Thanks
