If you are unable to access recovery, you should try to boot into Download Mode (you can find how in your phone's wiki or General Thread). Then, you could either reinstall the recovery, or flash your stock ROM, so that you can also check the Wi-Fi connectivity issue.
Make sure to also do a full wipe, clear cache and Dalvik and fix permissions. If your Wi-Fi will still be broken, it could also be a hardware problem, but make sure to check your Wireless settings, router configuration, etc. first.
If the problem persists, please add more details so we can help you better

Well, we have the same device
Ok, this is my suggestion to you. You can use coliNUX ROM. It's nice ROM for daily use. You can get it HERE. And I recommended you to use LuPuS Kernel (you can get it HERE) than Turbo Kernel that provide on ROM thread (but yeah, it's up to you) and then just flash kernel you want it via flashtool. After that just flash ROM via CWM/TWRP but don't forget to do full wipe. For gapps, you can use full gapps, but it will be wiser if you use slim gapps (get it HERE)
This is for framework fix (click HERE to download) and flash it via CWM/TWRP. If you want Timescape you can also flash it (click HERE to download).
Good Luck. And if you want you can click on my signature image and join with us on Facebook :laugh:

Than you so much sir! ))))) you're help was really appreciated

[Q] Help to choose custom ROM for WT19i

Hey everyone,
I just rooted my WT19i and unlocked bootloader. Because I'm absolutely new in custom ROMs I need your advice helping me to decide which of them I should install on my device. Which is the best?
BTW I already tried installing CM9 using ROM manager, but it said "Installing update..." , then the device rebooted ant stuck on "Sony Ericsson" logo... I had to flash firmware and root my phone again...

ROMs for this phone are buggy if you want one with all features working even walkman button try Hibroman (just ask for a link to download)
if you have unlocked bootloader you can see kernels like rage kernel with cpu governors this will increase/improve battery !
It's better to use phone-specific methods for flashing than ROM Manager (some got trouble by this way)
when flashing a ROM that requests to change bootloader be sure to flash it using a laptop on battery -it's better to protect from power problems if something is wrong when flashing bootloader your phone is bricked and only service tools can revive it !
never flash ROMs/ kernels not made for your phone -you are to experiment a hardware failure !

Thanks! I guess I'll try installing this ROM and kernel when I have enough time. And two more questions: if I flashed another firmware my bootloader will be locked again and which version of Hybroman should I use?

nope your bootloader is not touched by flashing a custom ROM
indeed in some cases you have to flash separately a different bootloader so you can use that custom rom (in fact the problem is that bootloader will not give a chance to that kernel to load into memory -it's about a kind of protection)
wich version ? well as you see that thread is a very long one (and that's a sign of a good one ..) but no links in first post but just ask them your question and you get a link surely
try real ics 5.1 with krsh kernel... its really nice on my wt19i
Did u wipe custom data and cache....???
Did u flash the .img file???
If u didn't then ur phone gets stuck at SE logo...
CM9 is ICS based so first
1. flash ICS
2. flash boot.img file (instde cm-9.0.0-coconut.zip)
3. Enter recovery (turn off ur phone and turn it on by pressing volume down key.)
4. wipe custom data and device cache
5. install cm-9.0.0-coconut.zip
6. reboot...
Ur CM9 will work

So if I understand this correctly you have flashed a new ROM but you are stuck on the boot screen.
This can happen due to a few things; the first and most obvious to me is that you didn't flash the correct version of the ROM. Please link me to the ROM you used and I can tell you if you did or not.
The second is that you aren't running the correct kernel, if the JB Mini Project runs on the CM10 kernel and you haven't flashed that first it won't work.
The third is that you didn't wipe all of the partitions (it seems as though you haven't) you need to wipe System, Dalvik Cache, Cache, then User Data.
If you want to restore to stock firmware download this program (http://androxyde.github.io/) and then download the .ftf file from one of the links in the link I will provide (http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=fU3SBnQr).
When you have got both of them things PM me and I will help you.

I know the exact problem now. The ROM is based on CM10. You haven't flashed the CM10 kernel onto the phone before you flashed the ROM. I'll PM you know so you can reply if you need any help.

Download the FXP CM10 version 218 from this link (http://uploaded.net/file/rwdt97g6/from/0cedff) and extract the boot.img from the .zip you download. Google how to fastboot flash kernels as I can't help you here.
i downloaded the flashtool and the stock firmware. but how to connect Miro on flash mode? Also I intalled Twrp over Cwm But When i go to recovery CWM shows up. How to Get back to TWRP as i have also made a backup with it.

steps to setup Custom Rom !!!

Hi guys
at first thanks for time you spend to read my problam :angel:
i have Samsung Galaxy SL i9003
and i still work on 2.3.6 and i hate it and it's very and super lagy :crying:
i know how to setup stock rom from odin , it's very easy
but i really can't get how setup custom rom
andi don't know any thing about custom rom ,
and hope any one tell me how to do and explan it to me simpely , not good in english
and tell me the best custom rom that i can use it every day and work fine and fast , and get links for me
i speak arabic & i'm not good in english , sorry for my bad english guys
All custom roms for android 4.x have few bugs. So, if you are okay with that, I will suggest installing CM11. It works nice except for few bugs here and there.
But, if you prefer a fully stable rom, you have to stick with android 2.3.6. In that case, I will suggest FlyOnGB rom. Also, you can try doing a factory reset and see if that helps.
CM11: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534312
FlyOnGB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353292
As for setting up odin, you can use it only to install md5 or tar files. nearly all custom rom are uploaded as zip file, and are to be flashed from recovery mode. You will need to copy the zip file to phone, and boot into recovery using Vol Up + Home + Power key. Of course, you will need to root your phone to go into recovery mode.

Custom roms are already rooted, so you don't need to do anything on them. To root a stock rom, you need to flash the cf-root for that particular rom, and then restart the phone. Use this link to download the cf-root file. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331253
To flash the cf-root file, first you need to flash the stock rom, and restart the phone. Then you can use Odin to flash the cf-root just like you flash a rom.
Google apps are your default android apps (play music, maps, google search and such). You don't need these necessarily, as you can download them from play store too. Few roms have bugs with play store apps, therefore they give you modified version of them in that thread.
If you want to flash the google apps, you can do it just like you do it for custom rom. After installing custom rom, just reboot to recovery mode. Now, select the google apps zip file, and install it the same way you installed the custom rom.
If you are stuck, follow the steps from those link as it is. Use this link for more help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737

Hi, thanks for replying. I cannot post in the topic of the rom because I am new on the forum (what I get when I try to post something overthere).
Could you please explain me how to fix the permissions in CWM?
I am a beginner who been trying to fix his tablet for a week now, but I still dont understand everything since I cant put all my time on it... If its not about following tutorials step by step, i am lost...
I also tried the fast team one, without any success, when the rom is installed and the device is rebooted, this time the screen stay blocked on "samsung galaxy tab3" for years!!!
sorry, i meant the fast dream rom
I just tried to Flash three roms from sammobile.com (one from hong-kong, one from spain and one from germany) through Odin.
Everytime I get I click on AP to load the rom on odin, I get this message:"md5 error! Binary is invalid".
Since I have rooted the tablet using odin to instal CWM, when I boot the tablet in download mode, I can see:
- PRODUCT NAME: SM-T311
- CURRENT BINARY: Cusom
- SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Is it related? Someone help plz...
The question is do i really have to install a new rom, now that the tablet is rooted with CWM on it, can't do any manipulation to allow the chinese rom to accept google playstore etc...
My biggest problem with the chinese rom that comes with it is that i cant install download google playstore, i installed it but everytime i open it, it closes right away. Not google nor other google apps available neither since it was sold in china...

In the end, I just used a previous version of Odin (3.4 instead of 3.9) to flash an original stock rom.
Now the problem is that I have a new CWM that works with the volume up, volume down button, and this menu:
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- apply update from external storage
- zipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update from cache
Since the rom is not really good, i wanted to flash another one (one of those we just talked about), but the backup i did with the previous CWM i had (Philz Advanced CWM 6.08.90) is nowhere in the tablet anymore (i dont have any sd card) and i dont know how to make a back up with this CWM...
So now the question is how to make a backup with this version of CWM so I can try to flash other roms, or how to get the version that i had before without takin any risk of brickin the device (so i can make another backup and try to flash another)

Are you sure the new recovery is CWM and not stock recovery?? If you flashed stock ROM, it should've given you stock recovery again...

It works well for my SM-T311 :good: Then you can reroot and make a backup from TWRP easily.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T311 in Mainland China last month and I cannot install google play can anyone help.

Cannot get past bootloop when installing roms - D2403

Hi everybody!
I have spent the whole day trying to install Slimrom on my Sony M2 aqua D2403, and after I didn't succeed, I also tried cyanogenmod 12.1. I am already past the state of going crazy!! I hope somebody can help me
So, what happens is that after a lot of time I finally got TWRP to work and was able to install the custom roms (I'm a semi-noob, as I have installed custom roms on my old Sony M, but am still not very knowledgable).
I am getting bootloop on both roms that I have tried today, and I have tried it MANY times. Have flashed stock rom with flashtool by Androxyde several times and tried from there (Android 5.1.: 18.6.A.0.175, as well as Android 4.4.: 18.3.1.C.1.17) .
I followed pawcioo132's instruction from the slimrom forum: Quote:
1. Recommend to start at stock LP.
2. Update bootloader via Emma.
3. Flash recovery via fastboot (each i recommend).
4. Full wipe (cache, data, dalvic cache, system)
5. Flash latest ROM.
6. Enjoy.
Part 1 I have already mentioned here.
Part 2 seems to not be possible with the M2 aqua. At least Emma tells there are no services for my device.
So, I found a solution that at least let me enter recovery mode. What I did is i flashed (with flashtool) the FTF made by linuxct (from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/development/twrp-2-8-7-0-updated-theme-t3252807), which is supposed to be the same as updating the bootloader through Emma.
Part 3-5 was no problem. Everything went fine (after I succeeded in finding the FTF file mentioned above - which took like 7 hours or so).
The only thing that didn't work was part 6. I have bootloop every time. The boot animation just stays forever (I have tried up to 50 minutes) on both roms I have tried.
Was it maybe because of what I did in part 2?
Does anybody have any idea what I can do? Maybe someone who has succeeded in installing a custom rom for the D2403 could tell me what they did differently or something like that.
This is my first post here. I have done my best to give all relevant information. If there is any important info missing, please tell me!!
The Roms I have tried are
- Slimrom custom 2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/orig-development/5-1-1-slimrom-xperia-m2-lte-t3244761
- CM 12.1 beta 2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-developement-t2971213
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi everybody!
I have spent the whole day trying to install Slimrom on my Sony M2 aqua D2403, and after I didn't succeed, I also tried cyanogenmod 12.1. I am already past the state of going crazy!! I hope somebody can help me
So, what happens is that after a lot of time I finally got TWRP to work and was able to install the custom roms (I'm a semi-noob, as I have installed custom roms on my old Sony M, but am still not very knowledgable).
I am getting bootloop on both roms that I have tried today, and I have tried it MANY times. Have flashed stock rom with flashtool by Androxyde several times and tried from there (Android 5.1.: 18.6.A.0.175, as well as Android 4.4.: 18.3.1.C.1.17) .
I followed pawcioo132's instruction from the slimrom forum: Quote:
1. Recommend to start at stock LP.
2. Update bootloader via Emma.
3. Flash recovery via fastboot (each i recommend).
4. Full wipe (cache, data, dalvic cache, system)
5. Flash latest ROM.
6. Enjoy.

If u did all of this and didn't work, you probably have a D2403 with GPIO problem.
There is a lib file to remove to workaround this, but somethings don't work if u do this
(Sorry for bad english)

Thanks a lot, Paulo! Your post made me read a lot about gpio and in the end I decided to try to install the z5 s.t.y.l.e rom by linuxct. It is running perfectly and I am more than satisfied with it. Amazing! Thanks again!
