This time don't unplug your phone after it reaches 100%.
Switch OFF your phone keeping the Charger ON.
Don't Unplug Charger after the phone Switches OFF.
Let the Phone Show 100% Charged then Unplug Charger.
Take out the battery and leave your phone as it is for at least 30 Minutes.

After installing any rom please go to settings and enable USB Debugging. There are some root apps which require it to be enabled.
If you do not enable it then you will have it face Force Close in that Root apps.
Advice 2(CM10>GB):
If you are using CM10 and want to revert back to gingerbread rom then do not do it directly. Open the gingerbread rom and check whether it has boot.img inside it or not.
Follow the procedure given above Reverting back to ginger bread rom.
Advice 3(Maintenance):
Wipe Cache and Dalvik cache from time to time for removing junk from your phone. Also perform it after installing any Mod.
This will also help you to keep your phone Healthy and also fix some Force Close Issues.
Advice 4(Triangle Away):

Flashing Kernels etc. In case something goes wrong.

Always keep a CWM backup of your Rooted Stock Rom before flashing any Custom Rom.
Store your backup in some safe place. So that when JB update comes you can restore it before flashing Official Jelly Bean

Yes, the thread is at right place.
My question is, I have S7500T.
To flash custom ROMS I have been replacing the boot.img with my phones original and it works no problem..
I've tried flashing cyanogen mod but only get blank screen, I'm assuming the only way to get it working on the S7500T is if official update ever comes out and I once again use stock boot.img, or is there another way?

Please don't try Gingerbread boot.img in CM10. You will SUPER HARD BRICK your device. You will have to wait for Official Release and no other method is there for making it work. And CM10 requires CM10 kernel only.
Re: [IMP]FAQ's All ROMS, MODS
One question is, why isn't it possible to simply restore a nandroid GB backup over CM10? Why is it that only a zip should be flashed? Both nandroid backup and flashable zip have the GB kernel after all..
I tried to do that, but only got an error. Thankfully I had an inspiration ROM zip and I flashed it over CM10.
because its a change in android version and as i said
its better to flash stock rom again(once in 5 times) to prevent bricks or anyother issues blah blah...

We can restore Nandroid Backup of GB over CM10. I have done it more than 30 times.
I think you should use CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 by MB-14 because it is best at least for me.

You Can Flash the Gingerbread Rom on S7500L Model because the Hardware is Same. You Just need to restore boot.img of your working stock rom after flashing custom rom. Don't know whether it will work because I don't Have L model

Nandroid backup first. then :
1. Yes, You will lose all data.
2. It would be better if you could do online backup of contacts & messages so that you can restore it in CM10.
3. Backup only your User apps with data and cache using Titanium Backup. Don't backup system apps

I don't know why that happened.
Try flashing any GB Rom and then try Restoring Backup.
If it doesn't work then flash Stock Rom & CWM again and then try restoring backup.

Is resetting the binary counter important.. ?? It causes any problems if not reset??
And.. is there any limit to flashing custom firmwares??

As per me it is important. It will not cause any problem.
Yes, there is limit for flashing custom firmwares. If you exceed the binary counter you may hard brick your device. Resetting Binary counter will solve this problem.

Description: This is a guide that will help you flash a 99% stock factory image for the official Jelly Bean leaks for Verizon Galaxy S III overwriting every partition on the device to stock. The ONLY major change I have made is for your convenience it keeps all your data/apps/settings and internal storage partition in tact. In addition to that I have also provided a small mod in the image that allows the following options below as optional flashes.
Flashing ClockworkMod or TWRP Recovery
Adding SuperSU (Rooting your ROM)
Unlocking your Bootloader
Minor Warning: Please note that if you had any special mods that you had to manually flash before or move on the system partition (like Google Wallet, AOSP 4.2 apps like camera and gallery, etc...) they will be lost as you are overwriting your system partition to factory stock. Please make sure to do the needful with your mods before following this guide (for example resetting the Google Wallet app).
Frequently Asked Questions
I have just received the Jelly Bean OTA and all I'm looking to do is root it. What do I do?
I have created a new thread for such a method. Please refer here: Link
Does this method trip the flash counter?
Yes and no. The only time your flash counter gets tripped is when you flash a custom kernel or recovery. Since the factory image in Step 1 contains the original kernel and recovery partitions, your flash counter should not be tripped. However, after flashing the custom recovery in Step 2, that will indeed increase the counter (no way to escape that since you are flashing a custom recovery).
Solution? Download the TriangleAway app from this thread or from the Play Store after you have completed Step 3 and reset the counter. That easy!
I get an "MD5 hash value is invalid" error when I load the ODIN file. What do I do?
This usually happens whenever your downloaded file is corrupt and has not transferred properly to your computer and your best bet is to try to redownload the file and try once again.
However, there are certain cases where you download the file multiple times and still get the error. In that case there is a small workaround. Firstly, you should see an MD5 that I have posted for each ODIN file in the downloads below. Download this MD5 Checker application to your computer and verify that the MD5 value I have listed for the accompanying download matches the file you have download. If it does not, redownload the file again until you get a match (not safe to flash it in ODIN until you do). However, if the MD5 does match and you still get the same error, all you have to do is rename the file and remove ".md5" from the end of the filename and it will flash. But take note, ONLY do that if the MD5 matches the one I have listed. Otherwise you are running the risk of flashing a corrupt image in ODIN and you can hard brick your device in some cases.
Do I need to flash kernel, radio, or RPM separately?
Not necessary at all. What makes my guide different from your everyday ROM is that these are complete factory images. What that means is that the image file contains every single updated partition for that build that you would need to bring your entire device to the latest build. Normally most ROMs that you flash in recovery only include System and sometimes Kernel partitions.
However, these ODIN images includes every single partition that exists on your device (kernel, radio, RPM, system, aboot, and over 15+ other hidden partitions you normally don't see or have access to). So upon flashing these images you do not have to flash any other partition as these will all automatically be upgraded after completing all three steps in my guide.
I'm coming from a completely stock device. Will this guide work for me too?
Absolutely! This guide was exactly intended with stock devices in mind. Flash with no worries and at the end of all three steps you will be on the latest Jelly Bean build, rooted, and with an unlocked bootloader.
I can't find Blocking Mode that was added to Jelly Bean on every other Galaxy S III. Where is it?
For some unknown reason Verizon decided to leave us out in the cold with Blocking Mode just as they didn't have the All-Share Cast option in ICS. They have done the same thing with the Galaxy Note II and recently a small workaround has been found to activate this feature. Please check this thread for details.
After flashing this image I no longer see the lockscreen notification bubbles for missed calls and text messages that I had in ICS. Where did they go?
For one reason or another Samsung and Verizon intended to remove the lockscreen missed notifications with the Jelly Bean upgrade so what you are seeing is normal. There is a small workaround to get them back but then you will have a small bug if you do that. For the workaround, if you use Root Explorer to look in "/system/csc" you should see a file named "customer.xml". Rename it to "customer.xml.bak" and this is brings back the lockscreen notification bubbles. However, upon doing that you will notice that this message will now never go away. The helper text for that specific notification will never go away because that notification is not supposed to exist in Jelly Bean so it doesn't know how to clear it properly after you've completed the action. The only thing you can do is by the disabling the "Help" app in your Application manager ("All" tab), which will stop showing all helper text. The workaround is reversible so the choice is up to you.
If I have <your build or ROM version here>, can I flash this image to get back to stock?
Absolutely. That is exactly what these factory images are intended for. They will reset your device to a complete build as official from Samsung and Verizon. Go right ahead.

Very nice, will have to give this a try.
I guess going back to the HE ROM would still work if you do a CWM Backup first?
One reason why I was reluctant to try I5 was having to reinstall all my apps and settings.
Does this also include the I5 radio baseband, or does that still have to be flashed separate? Some have reported the HE baseband is working better than the I5 one. Either way, it's easy to flash those zip.
Thank You
Just flashed it, and missing is any Camera or Gallery app, either the Samsung one or the (new) Android 4.2 one.

Please note that mods you have applied to the system partition will have to be reinstalled after flashing the image. Since Camera and Galley are both mods that affect the system partition and you manually flashed onto it, you will lose them normally. Wallet is another example as well so make sure to reset your Wallet app before flashing this image. But you should still see the original Camera and Gallery apps show up that are part of the stock firmware. Please double check that they are not hidden in your launcher or disabled (see the bottom of your Application Manager for disabled apps) from a previous mods perhaps you disabled them before flashing the 4.2 apps. I can personally confirm after multiple testing that Camera and Gallery are both included in this firmware.
I know this is going to be a stupid question... but is the stock (untouched) image not able to be rooted/unlocked? Only reason I ask is because I like having a factory image to flash that does wipe data so it acts as a "start fresh" approach. Thanks for this guide and the joined root/unlock. That's good stuff.

If you'd like to do a data wipe all you have to do after the image flashes is go into Settings > Back up and reset > Factory data reset. This does the same exact process. I highly don't recommend using the Original Untouched image or it is a much more complicated process to restore root and custom recovery after that. Hence this is why I created this modified image and this guide. The only reason I am linking to that image is for reference purposes only to any developers who want to explore and compare.
Thank you have been waiting for this.

When using the HE ROM, I only had the included Samsung Camera and Gallery app, I did not install the separate Android 4.2 app. So when I used ODIN to flash this I5 ROM, I noticed that the Camera and Gallery are not listed in the app drawer. I went into Settings/Applications, and they are still listed, but doesn't have an option to open them. Also went into Titanium Backup, to restore them from a backup of apps I did a few weeks ago. Even after restoring them, they still were not listed and could not be opened. I'm not sure why these two apps were having a problem, but after trying it for a day, I used CWM and restored my HE backup. Now the camera and gallery apps work again, as they should, but now I get a Visual Voicemail error each time the phone turns on. So I had to force stop that app from loading.

Darn, it seems like your all mixed up over there now. My recommendation ONLY in your case is start fresh using the below process:
Backup your internal SD Card contents to your computer
Save your HE backup in safe place on the computer as well
Flash the Original Untouched Data Wipe image ***REMEMBER THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING***
Ensure that everything is working fine upon reboot, setup your phone and make sure all apps are working (Camera, Gallery, etc...)
After that follow my guide from the start to the finish (flashing the No Data Wipe image first!)
Confirm you are rooted, unlocked bootloader, have custom recovery and everything is working
Use "Advanced Restore" in to restore only your "data" partition from your HE backup
If everything is good you can now restore your internal SD Card contents back to your device. Let me know what happens in each step.
I see some of my dropbox links are starting to be suspended due to the heavy traffic. I'd like ask if anyone would like to make some mirrors (especially the No Data Wipe image) please kindly PM me and I will add them to the OP.

Flash the Original Untouched Data Wipe image ***REMEMBER THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING***
Ensure that everything is working fine upon reboot, setup your phone and make sure all apps are working (Camera, Gallery, etc...)
After that follow my guide from the start to the finish (flashing the No Data Wipe image first!)
Confirm you are rooted, unlocked bootloader, have custom recovery and everything is working
Use "Advanced Restore" in to restore only your "data" partition from your HE backup
If everything is good you can now restore your internal SD Card contents back to your device. Let me know what happens in each step.

I ended up using CWM and restoring one of the first HE backups that I did a few weeks ago, then tried the I5 (no wipe) install method again.
This time around, it did work, and the Samsung Camera and Gallery apps are there and working, as are all my apps.
The only thing I had to do extra was install the TW JB Google Wallet and 4.2 Keyboard after.

Excellent! Glad to hear you're up and running. :good: I had a feeling it was something in your latest data partition that was messing with it.

The only difference between the two HE backups is that there is a few weeks between them, which some app updates were installed through Google Play, the Google Wallet hack, and the Android 4.2 keyboard. So something in there had to cause the Samsung Camera/Gallery app not to work with the I5 (no wipe) ROM. But going to the older HE backup (which is before all those apps were updated) and without Wallet and Keyboard 4.2, then installing I5, the camera/gallery works.
By the way, I remember seeing last week a post (somewhere in here) that was just the I5 Kernel zip.
I did a search, but can't find it.
I want to try the KT747 Kernel, but would like the I5 Kernel to have as a flash backup.

I've also been reading about an RPM file in some other threads, but Inc's link is dead. Is that something that should be installed?

It's included in the image since it's the complete factory package.
EDIT: However also attaching the tarball zip in case you want to mess around with it. Flash in ODIN as well.
By the way, I haven't seen anyone mention it yet but this image finally unlocks the promised "Global Roaming" capabilities that Verizon promised via OTA. You can now use AT&T/T-Mobile/Other GSM carrier microSIM cards and run on their network. AKA: phone is now technically unlocked.
Dear all I want to change my ROM but by your experience I need to have answers for these questions
to have the decision to start or not please help me and thank you all .
First I have LG P500
android : 2.2.2 V10h
kernal version : 2.6.32.9
the phone is rooted
ROM manager is installed and I made a backup in CWM
1) is there any other backup should I have ?
2) is there any risk by installing a new ROM by the CWM / if yes what is the best way ?
3) if i have backed up the Ndrive through titanium backup can I have back in a new ROM ?
4) if I didn't like the new ROM with CWM can I have my old one as it was with Ndrive working good ?
5) what is the best ROM for my phone ?
Thank all for helping me
Note : most what I care is the Ndrive because I use it alot and it help me alot .
if you installed CWM and did a backup, is OK
no risk installing a new rom trough CWM, I have inslalled alot(I didn't try other recovery but if you want someting else search forum for it) any recovery is good, alot of people says that CWM is a liitle old and have some problems, but if it works for you, use it, I didn't have any problem, for installing new rom read careffuly the OP instructions, all of the post(do not miss anything), and it will work, read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247 but not all roms are included, for that search http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=839 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1545
everything backuped with TITANIUM can be restored if you didn't erased it from sd card, by formating or partitioning(one more tip is to go in titanium folder in sdcard an extract apk manualy and install it), trough TITANIUM install app+data, after restoring do not open app, chooze ok and let TITANIUM restore data for app
yes you can restore the original rom by CWM but some times it will not work propertly, better try another custom rom that you will like(there are alot of them, serch and read feedback)
this is rr0yy (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4689008) post in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876951
"Go to your SDcard.. search and go to clockworkmod folder.. go to backup.. now whichever file you see.. Rename it xyz or anything WITHOUT any space!!
Try restoring then!! And keep a small name!! Dont use any special characters like $ & # " credits to him(good hint)
if you encounter problems with restoring a rom trough CWM
I like ICS, but you can search to see what suits you, ICS is good for O1 despite of ram usage, I like it more than GB(old), JB is too large for me and my phone memory
thanks but one more

thanks but one more question the app ndrive is it now working good with new ROM ??
You shouldn't have any compatibility problems with NDrive. I'd recommend that you flash a rom, test the apps you need and if they don't work, flash another rom.

My goal is a stable newer stable custom ROM while keeping all the main functions working. the phone has no data to back up. I have been reading a lot of posts on how to upgrade to a custom ROM and i was trying to avoid having to flash it if possible (would like to stay with android)and let rom manager do it. can that be done? also which one should i try ? i know that this has been answered many times but i don't want to brick it and was looking for some guidance.

I don't know anything about green CWM red is available on the link provided though if it becomes an issue. You'll need a CWM flashable ROM and it sounds like you want a cleaned up stock version, others seems to have themes and other options you may not want, I didn't, performance is fine but I really didn't want to change the look. In that case you'll want this one:

In CWM wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, format data, format cache, install zip from SD card select ROM and flash then install zip from SD card select kernel and flash then reboot you'll have to uninstall the ATT stuff yourself or not, be careful that you don't remove apps needed by the system to function or by other system apps, most of the stuff with ATT in the name is safe and you need to remove tethering manager to be able to ever tether. Titanium backup root (TB) can uninstall them, be sure to first backup your new stock ROM in CWM before you start making changes because if you rip out the wrong apps you'll need to restore to boot. Use TB to backup an app if your not sure so you might not have to do a full restore. Be patient during boots.

Thanks for flashing. Yes TB works for me. We need to use TB for many system related information while developement, so it is very obvious to install this app for any developer.
Its still a stock rom and if it worked on stock rom for you, it should work in this too.
What error you are getting? More details can help to know your issue better. By the way I dont have huge apps like games to restore. Tried only on small apps.

Try changing storage to Internal Memory from Setting > Storage . Reboot and try again. Also try copying TB data files from External SD to internal. Not sure but may help. There should be some way there only.
Yes there is problem in Stock Rom Memory Mounting, which shows error in EX Explorer while copying files from system root to Internal Memory. Properly copies file in External SD from root. Will keep checking this section and if I find some solution will tell you.
Headset for handsfree
Thank you Mahendra, this really helped. I just have one issue. The headset which came along with the phone when used to make and receive calls, it's volume is way too loud even at the minimal setting. However, when listening to radio and music, the volume is alright.
Which option should I use to decrease the in call volume whilst using headset?

For GOD's sake do not quote whole first post. Your question does not need to quote anything. Please read and learn about some basics of xda.
Its some kind of app firewall added by iBerry Auxus. You can enable and control each app to access use of data and internet. Or disable and allow use of data and internet like any other Android phone. Great feature to block access to apps but no one uses it.

1) First thing. Never quote whole post in your comment unnecessarily. Only type your question. If possible delete it. Will be glad to help you further in that case.
2) Second. Search xda for rooting and installing TWRP (not CWM) on Auxus Note. I have make many threads on it.
Point noted and thanks for pointers
Does 2.0 image link flash P7 baseband also ? zip only contains system and boot images, no modem images available.

sasiskas 5.0.1 ROM for Galaxy S4 DUOS I9502
First of all, let me tell you the story and the philosophy behind this ROM.
The story: One month ago I bought an I9502 because it was the best dual sim phone for it's price. Unfortunately it is oriented for the Chinese market so it is full of Chinese customizations and apps. And since there are no International-oriented custom lollipop roms available, I decided to create one by my own.
The philosophy: The rom is based on my personal preferences, I just share it because why not! Since I am not a samsung software fan, I removed almost every samsung bloatware. And Obviously removed all the chinese crap and customized everything I could in order to make the rom more international.
The ROM is based on a the latest I9502ZNUJOC3 firmware. In order to save some time I found the official ROM Deodexed from romzj.com and customized it to my personal taste.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Deodexed (by romzj)
Busyboxed (by romzj)
Rooted (by romzj)
Replaced Boot animation from China Unicom to Samsung
Removed almost all Samsung apps
Removed all Chinese apps
Added Google apps
Xposed
Camera shutter sound on/off
Added advanced power menu
3minitBattery
Network Stats On status bar (settings->connections->more networks->Network Traffic)
Removed Baidu location consent
Replaced location service from baidu to google
Removed SIM icon from status bar in order to save some space
Removed Sfinder and Quick connect from Pull down menu
In SMS app, replaced sharing location from mo.maps.com to google maps
Replaced Chinese keyboard with multilingual S6 Keyboard (all languages available)
Replaced file manager with S6 file manager
Added optical reader from S6
Added weather from S6
Added KidsMode from S6
Removed Chinese search engines from stock browser
Maybe something else that I don't remember
All languages are supported.
Modified SMS/MMS app, Replaced sharing location feature from chinese maps to google maps
Removed Airplane mode confirmation dialog
Added Application Permission option (app ops) in settings->more->security
KNOWN ISSUES
If you go to "settings->security->sim change alert" the settings app will crash. Generally some items in settings menu are not working because they are linked to Samsung Account, this happens because I removed Samsung Account, I left the settings there in case someone wants to reinstall Samsung Account.
After boot, Touchwiz might crash one time. I'm not sure what causes this issue, but I don't mind since I use Nova Launcher. If you want you can help me find the source of the problem. Fixed in version 1.1
Messaging app crashes Fixed in version 1.2
Contacts not recognized in messages or when receiving a call. Fix according to your country.
Generally the rom is VERY stable, and I have no issues so far.. (I use it since July 2015)
CHANGELOG
Version 1.1
-It is now, uncompressed because compression caused issues with TWRP
-Fixed TouchWiz crash, due to video widget
-Fixed fonts of weather widget
-Fixed shadows of weather widgets
Version 1.2
-Fixed Messaging app crash
-ROM is now multilanguage
-Update xposed version to v65
-Added KidsMode from S6
Version 1.3
-Added support for Xposed Uninstaller (For thos who like to Uninstall/Update Xposed)
-Added "Adapt Audio" feature
-Added Print Spooler (support for wifi printing)
-Modified SMS/MMS app, Replaced sharing location feature from chinese maps to google maps
-Added S6 Launcher
-Removed Airplane mode confirmation dialog
-Added Application Permission option (app ops) in settings->more->security
-Fixed sharing media over wifi
-Some more fixes

-Updated Modem to latest version (I9502CHUIOH2)
-Updated photo edit tool[/URL]
-Translated USIM apps

INSTRUCTIONS
If you don't have custom recovery, flash TWRP using Odin 3.0.9 (Helpful video HERE)
Make a complete Backup, I'm not responsible if you brick your phone. ( Power off your phone, then press and hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons simultaneously, then go to "Backup", tick all the check boxes , and select backup)
If you don't have Lollipop already installed, flash Bootloader using Odin (Helpful video HERE)
Unrar my ROM and move the folder "sasiskasROM_I9502_Lollipop" to your SDcard, in folder "TWRP/Backups/****** (make a random backup using TWRP and the folder ****** will be generated)"
Wipe data&cache (from custom recovery->wipe->swipe to factory reset),
Also wipe system (from custom recovery->wipe->advanced wipe-> check only Sytem->swipe to wipe)
From custom recovery, go to "Restore", find my rom in your SDcard and select restore
If for any reason you fail, then follow these instructions (MUST WORK 100%):
Download official I9502ZNUJOC3 firmware from sammobile
Flash it using Odin (Helpful video HERE)
Boot normally to official stock rom
Unrar my ROM and move the folder "sasiskasROM_I9502_Lollipop" to your SDcard, in folder "TWRP/Backups/****** (make a random backup using TWRP and the folder ****** will be generated)"
Wipe data&cache (from custom recovery->wipe->swipe to factory reset),
Also wipe system (from custom recovery->wipe->advanced wipe-> check only Sytem->swipe to wipe)
From custom recovery, go to "Restore", find my rom in your SDcard and select restore
If you like my ROM just hit the "THANKS!" button, to show me that the project is still alive, so I keep releasing new versions.

I'm not sure. I have heard of people using i9500 roms on i9502 devices, but never heard of someone using i9502 rom on a i9500 device.
Doesn't work
it doesn't work ....... i tried it with TWRP and try the buckup in the Recovery .... evrything goes well but after restarting Phone nothing happen ...... just Black screen
did you flash the bootloader?
also wiped data&cache?
also wiped system?
If you already tried these. Then do the following. (MUST WORK 100%)
1. Download official I9502ZNUJOC3 firmware from sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/44922/I9502ZNUJOC3_I9502CHUJOC3_CHU/
2. Flash it using Odin (Helpful video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ulz-1UYzHBA)
3. Boot normally to official stock rom
3. Go to recovery, wiped data&cache, then also wiped system.
4. Recover my ROM as a backup from your SDcard

You can't because you dont have enough free space.
You must flash stock ROM, then root, then remove as many Chinese and Samsung apps as possible, then install "Gapps 5.0.x PICO" .
Pico is the smallest version of Gapps ( including only basics google apps) , but it is ok, you can install any google app you like, later from google play store.

If you don't have custom recovery, flash TWRP using Odin 3.0.9 (instructions HERE)
Make a complete Backup, I'm not responsible if you brick your phone. ( Power off your phone, then press and hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons simultaneously, then go to "Backup", tick all the check boxes , and select backup)
If you don't have Lollipop already installed, flash Bootloader using Odin (instructions HERE)
Unrar my ROM and move the folder "sasiskasROM_I9502_Lollipop_V1" to your SDcard.
Wipe data&cache (from custom recovery->wipe->swipe to factory reset),
Also wipe system (from custom recovery->wipe->advanced wipe-> check only Sytem->swipe to wipe)
From custom recovery, go to "Restore", find my rom in your SDcard and select restore
If for any reason you fail, then follow these instructions (MUST WORK 100%):
Download official I9502ZNUJOC3 firmware from sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/d...02CHUJOC3_CHU/
Flash it using Odin (Helpful video HERE)
Boot normally to official stock rom
Go to recovery, wiped data&cache,
Then also wiped system.
Recover my ROM as a backup from your SDcard
Dual sim works 100%

You are welcome
It is strange when i unpack your rom on my SD twrp is not seeing it as a backup.
I had to make a backup and then delete everyting from that folder then put your files inside and only then i can do a restore, but restore fails.
I will try once more. I follow your instructions to the letter but for some reason it is not working for me.

That happens because TWRP sees only the content of TWRP folder that is generated inside your SDcard. I should have mention that but I forgot.

Did you try the second method I described? it should work.
Sorry for the trouble but I don't have a second device to try it, and on my device it works fine.
Awaiting your feedback
Ok first because i didn't had lollipop flashed only bootloader and twrp after. When i tried to restore twrp didn't see your folder so i made a small backup first and i then deleted it and moved your files into that folder. Twrp then saw the files and it restored boot, preload but when it starts to restore system it has some strange progression, it starts from 0MB to 172836928327MB and it is always on 0% no matter how much MB it restores, it reaches around 1500MB then it reports Failure. I will try again and will post the log.
Also when it failed first time i have downloaded full rom from your post, i have updated the phone, it boots normally. Same china baidu crap all over it. I again flashed twrp and repeated the procedure.
Wipe data / cache. Wipe system and i try restore but it fail again.

I juts tried it and it works fine for me.
I'm uploading a new Version V1.1. You should better try the new version.
This time it is complete backup, not just system
It is not compressed, maybe the compression was causing problems
Fixed some bugs from previous version
And I'm also trying to find a way to make my ROM as a flashable zip, for easier installation, but I have no idea how to do it at the moment.
can you confirme that more locale is working??
