[Q] Help with flashing roms?

I recently rooted my T-Mobile G2x and was wondering how to flash a Rom without the use of my computer unless 100% necessary, i have titanium backup and Rom manager, i tried flashing one directly from there but it got stuck in recovery. I took out the battery and everything is normal, what i think the problem is, is my SD card its a 4GB but it only has about 300MD left. Can anyone help?
-Thanks so much

You need to Nvflash ClockworldMod recovery on your phone. Then when you have it. You put a ROM which you want to try on your SD card or internal memory as you don't have much space in your SD card.
Clear Factory/Data
Cache
DAlvik Cache
format system
Flash your new Rom
Flash Gapps (google apps)
Enjoy.

does anyone have the link for the gapps? i go to http://goo.im/gapps/ but i cant download then for some reason

Could search Google, can't really give you a link without knowing what version of android you're flashing

[Q] I can't Wipe Old data

My cousin give me an I9003, cause he bought a new phone. I upgrade the rom to XXKPE and then to XXKPQ, wipe data/cache and everything works fine, but when I start the phone, old data still there, accounts, software, etc. So, I do it everything again with .pit (3x just in case). I do an adb wipe all, wipe data, but everything keeps in there laughing at me
I downgrade it with old roms, format internal sdcard with CWM, with standard recovery, I really don't know what more to do. Every help will be thankful.

I have the same problem. My friednd gave me an i9003. Wipe is not working at all, even from Recovery. I connect the phone to PC and use the internal card, no matter what I do, changes don't apply. I copy/paste/delete/format/even odin flash, no good. Everything comes back as before reboot. What is it related to?
I used to have an i9000, but nothing applies to i9003. I flashed i9000 1000 times and at last got a mmcblk2 error, fixed it with external sd swap. I'm thinking of swapping emmc with sd on this one too, but cant install a rom from CWM (I can install install CWM from ODIN though and can flash CFROOT too). In CWM internal storage can't be mounted... Motherboard problem?

[Q] Bootloop and other problems..

Hello..
My girfriend has a explorer and she was anoyed by small storage on her phone..I did that link2sd thing but she was not pleased and wanted me to revert phone on original settings..
I went into that recovery mode by pressing pow and vol down and did factory reset..
After that phone did not wanted to boot..it just stayed on that htc logo..
Then I downloaded 1.43.720.2. stock rom transfered it to sd card (which is now on 500 MB (it has 2gb, and I dont know how to revert it) and flashed it via recovery..
Then phone boots up to start screen and then it shut it self up and it goes into boot loop..
Any solutions?

the first rule after rooting..never ever do factory reset :angel:
now u can flash any other rom..no problem with that!

FTFY.
Actually never do a factory reset from the bootloader.. i.e. the menu where you have the 3 androids on the skateboards on the bottom of the screen.
@Ante241... as far as your problem goes. I suggest you wipe everything except the external SD card before flashing the ROM.
I.e. in the recovery menu > Mounts and storage > format boot cache data system and then go the main menu of recovery and then do a factory reset , then go to advanced in the main menu and wipe dalvik cache.. after that install .zip from SD card and flash the required ROM of your choice. Remember to backup all your apps before you do this.. using Titanium Backup or similar which saves the backup on the SD card or create a nandroid backup from recovery > backup and restore > backup.

Hi thanks a lot..before I read answers I downloaded official stock rom for her phone and flashed it (ofc I wiped all before)
but I could not find croatian..it was not in europe and east europe flash..
So I downloaded Minimilised ROM and flashed that and now it is ok..
Only problem is that phone wont read SIM card contacts and inport them, but that I will ask on dev thread for that ROM..
Thank you guys.. :good:

[Q] Device does not boot

Hello,
Just had issue with my Samsung galaxy S3.
A lot of sudden death and device freezes.
I installed the "[ROM][364MB][NB7]Revolutionary S5 V2 - Like your new Galaxy S5? [23RD MAR][FLYING][AVAILABLE]"
rom and since then i cannot boot my device.
After the installation was finished and just click the reboot option and its stucked on the boot screen(Samsung Galaxy s3 image)
Is it what's called a brick?
Is there any way to fix that issue?
I know i can get into recovery.
I'm having trouble with the sd card, I guess it's related cause it was working well before having issue with the device.
Any suggestion from you guys?

Sure. You don't need adb for installing a rom!
Perform a wipe
copy CUSTOMROM.zip* to your sdcard
install it via recovery
be happy again
*you can choose any custom rom compatible to your device.

The sd card is curropted for some reason.
I try the ADB but get the error attached.
Any reason what's wrong?
Or how can I fix this issue?

Don't use adb sideload pls. Just go to recovery --> format sd-card --> mount sd to computer --> copy rom.zip to sdcard manually. You dont need adb sideload

I format the external_sd
I mount the external_sd but can get the drive in my local machine.
do you i need to do something in addition to get the drive in my pc?

What Recovery Version do you use actually?
]Do You have the SIII gt-i9300?
If you have unbranded SIII GT-i9300 --> This is the best recovery avaiable PhilZ advanced cwm 6.19.3 . You can flash it using Odin 3.07
Latest usb drivers --> Samsung USB drivers

Your solution is good.
I installed this recovery and managed to mount my sd card and then install a different rom.
Thing I still have the sudden death issue.
I understood that any rom with version of 4.1.2 and above has that relevant fixes but its just didn't solve my issue.
Any suggestion about that?

Have you flashed full stock firmware once you're sd card is fine again?

I installed a custom ROM(Archdroid v2.4) and in the installation i chose the stock kernel.
Is that enough?

Do you have custom recovery ? if you have so then do a complete wipe (cache,factory data, dalvik) and try, if the device doesnt boot then flash your backup or stock rom in recovery

I installed a custom ROM based on stock and it reduced the freezes and sudden death big time but didn't solve it.
since the installation one day ago i had a couple of sudden deaths.
I did all wipes the recovery have to offer but I still see picture and old data I had.
No way to format the entire phone and then install a ROM from recovery?
Any other suggestion how to fix?

You can format everything using PhilZ recovery:
-->Mounts&Storage
Format /system /cache /data /storage/sdcard0 /storage/sdcard1
Then copy the rom to your sdcard and install it again. If that does not work you will have to flash the stock firmware once using odin before you can use a custom rom again.
Keep in mind that a custom kernel can cause system instability and errors.

I think you havent cleared data/factory reset your phone from cwm or twrp or else..
u need to do that + clear dalvik cache before flashing the zip..
But about the ROM u mentioned, is it really made for Samsung S3 ? :/
