I just rooted my Samsung GT-S5830i
I installed clockwork recover and made a backup too
I would like to install a custom ROM on my phone.. what are the necessary steps to follow before doing so ?
First, make a backup of you current rom. Then I would just go a head and follow whatever directions are supplied for the rom you want (some roms require special work). If no instructions are presented, do a wipe (factory reset or whatever) through cwmr, wipe the dalvik cache (under advanced), and install your rom!
Good luck I'll gladly answer any questions/problems you have.

i didnt do a factory reset, and installed jelly blast.. my phone got bricked, i had to flash through odin.. i was the only person who had the problem, you think it might have been because i didnt factory reset ?

It wasn't that.The only thing you must do before installing it is to root your phone, after that you just follow the custom rom's specific installing instructions.

Last night, I tried it again, I downloaded the ported jelly blast v 3 for s5830i, made a back up of my current ROM, wiped my data, wiped dalvik cache, placed the jelly blast in my sd card and flashed it through clock work recovery, I still got stuck in a boot loop..
Hello,
Try toggling signature verification and then flash custom ROM. Hope this solves ur problem.

You can see option for toggling in your recovery mode. Select that and then flash Rom.

There was no toggling option in my recovery mode..
Please do search properly. Usually u can see option for toggling signature verification when u select apply update from sdcard option....
If u can't find then try installing recovery mod again.

I installed recovery again, I found the toggle signature verification option, could you tell me how toggling signature verification makes a difference?
By toggling signature verification, verification of digital sign of your zip file is skipped. Thus allowing to use/ flash ROMS( most of them are unsigned)
Did that work??

The last couple of times I experienced this
The last couple of times that I got stuck in a bootloop, what fixed it was a re-wipe of data, cache and dalvik after the installation of the ROM. Don't know if that helps at all but hope that it does. That could be ROM specific, but it might be worth a shot (easier than restoring to stock again).
Examples of where developers have suggested wiping cache/dalvik after flashing the ROM

Can't find where I saw the wipe data section, it was somewhere.
Also, I use SMS backup, which syncs SMS's with gmail, so you can back those up and restore should you change again. Available in the play store.

So sorry guys, I couldnt find an answer through search. I rooted using Noxious Ninja's Windows program. Then unlocked bootloader, then flashed to CWM 6.0.1. I downloaded Beans Touchwiz ROM and I copied it to Root, now I rebooted in Recovery to install the ROM from zip but there is no Root folder, but I still have the Bean ROM in my Downloads folder as well. Can I install it from there or do I HAVE TO install it from Root directory?
So sorry guys, Ive been at this for hours LOL and have a terrible headache.
You do not have to flash from your "root" folder.
You may do so from your downloads folder perfectly fine.

thanks, now only if i can delete this thread.
I dont know if your still here, but immediately after installing the ROM from .zip the directions say to restore... I just click restore and it like wiped out the ROM I just installed and put my phone the way it was before!!! Do I not restore from Recovery after I install a ROM?
No you make a back up before you name any modification to your device. And if you bork it you can restore then. Don't restore unless your not happy with new rom or you messed something up

Don't do that.
The data's not compatible, yes.
Edit: Sometimes the data is compatible, e.g. if the dev says so, in which case you can dirty flash over without wiping the data.

did you flash boot image per instructions, if under .13 hboot you may be able to flash just the rom and no need to fastboot boot image
but, you need to wipe all including system in recovery 2X and not in aroma. i have my best luck that way

I also experienced force close on certain app, is there any solution for it?
I've tried to wipe all the stuff and reinstall the rom, but the problem still exists. Is there any other solution for it? I can't even manage my contacts , whenever I want to link ny contacts, it force closes by itself.

also on fc's clear apps data for tweaks and hub
redo it all again, but this time wipe sdcard first. of course back card up before wiping, just don't restore. i think new rom flash will repopulate what must be there like android secure and a couple others. someone can confirm that.
if it don't work you may want to go back to stock and start over
Is it necessary to wipe the sd card also? btw, I've lost the 3G connection after flashing the rom, I can only connect to the GSM network and when I switch to WCDMA only in my network setting, my phone shows no service is available. Is it the problem of the radio?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
i can use any radio and have no issues
start over with a fresh flash of 2.1 the upgarde manually
don't have to wipe sdcard
but if you start over with full wipe 3x including system. and reformat your sdcard before doing all that. it only leaves your phone. not all phones work well on all roms.
best to fastboot boot image
don't wipe in recovery and aroma, just aroma
don't use twrp 2.4.3.0, or what ever number is for latest--leaving work so kinda in hurry
after you boot first time, reboot and clear caches and boot back into os
claer data on tweaks and hub apk's
not saying you need to do all this, it just eliminates everything but your phone
anyway--good luck

I just rooted my Verizon Galaxy SIII (MF1) via Casual and flashed CM 10.1.2. Only problem is I can't reinstall any of my apps. I've tried pushing apps from my PC to my phone. Downloading while online from the phone itself. I used titanium backup and backed up everything before the flash, but I can't figure out how to access the data I backed up. Sorry, I'm a noob, but I searched for hours and couldn't find a solution to this specific problem.
(Also, my camera hasn't worked since the flash)

Then the only suggestion i have is to flash stock rooted rom or any TW rom and see if the phone works properly. Then we can proceed fresh again. If you run into issues on TW rom then a full odin to stock might be required.

Not sure what is going on but here is how I flash a ROM from recovery and so far so good.
Copy rom file to external sd card in phone.
Do a full factory wipe, cache and dalvik.
Install rom.
Install Gapps if necessary or desired.
Wipe cache and dalvik again.
Reboot
Note that some roms will give you a recommended list of what to wipe if doing a new install or upgrade of that rom, if such instructions exist its best to follow those instead but the above has worked for me for a while now.

That's what is advised to do before flashing a completely different ROM anyway by some. From recovery, flash the ROM again, and if the ROM is not corrupted (check md5 or whatever comes with it), you should be good to go.

Have patience,wait for 10-15 minutes.
First of all, you shouldn't have used Rom manager. It bricks our device
Read the guide in the top of general section and install a proper recovery from odin.
Maybe the zip you have downloaded is corrupted. So download it again and try.
Make sure you are on official gingerbread(2.3.x) and not froyo(2.2)
If none of this works,there is something seriously wrong with your device.
But don't worry,you can flash stock via odin and revert back to factory state.

Which customize ROM?
For customize ROM you need with ODIN instal Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWM).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640
Now you can install custom ROM. Go in CWM and go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition in Advanced wipe dalvik cashe. Install ROM and again go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced, go on wipe dalvik cashe. Reboot phone. It need wait about 5 minutes for system up.

Do this straight away:-
1. Flash Froyo 2.2.1(4 package) of ur country.
2. Then flash Gingerbread 2.3.6(one package) of ur country.
3. Then flash cwm via Odin.
4. Flash the custom rom thereafter.
Since it seems a bit complex issue, u need to try this to ensure zero errors.:sly: Btw u can try above steps in ur spare time.
As for me, I always try all methods that I know b4 concluding anything.
