[Q] Issue with samsung galaxy sgh t959v upgrade to JB

HI Gurus,
I own the samsung galaxy sgh t959v running on official tmobile stock gigerbread 2.3.6. Recently, I've tried to update it to run on JellyBean(4.1.1) trying to follow the below tutorial.
First you need the ODIN files(to go back to stock) : goo.gl/An7S (scroll down for where it says download and download the 4 files in there )
put this file in your sd card with the other one . if you dont have this file then you wont be able to use recovery mod :goo.gl/FuHFJ
Then you need to root your phone : goo.gl/oW4WO
USE THIS LINK (FOR ROOT)IF NOT FIRST ONE WORKING : dl.dropbox.com/u/13517705/SGH-
Then you gotta update your phone to CM-7 (gingerbread)(2.3.7) : goo.gl/rjFRj
then , you need chimera 2.2 ( ICS )(4.0.4) : d-h.st/uwi
and finally , you need to install panaroid android(JB)(4.1.1): goo.gl/Frl3z
gapps : goo.gl/jN55d

tried update my phone to CM-7 (gingerbread)(2.3.7) : goo.gl/rjFRj only to land into this problem.
I am not able to boot up to download mode either so that I can re-flash the basic stock version.
tried installing chimera 2.2 ( ICS )(4.0.4) : d-h.st/uwi as well but no luck.
I've tried everything from trying to wipe out the data/factory reset.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Madhu

You flashed vibrant (SGH-T959) ROM and recovery and not SGS 4G (SGH-T959V).
These are 2 completely different devices.
I hope you haven't bricked your phone.
Try the one-click back to stock - specifically section 2...
and if it works, flash only ROMs appearing in this forum development section.
Good luck!

It works

You can flash any of the ROMs listed in these SGS4G forums. However, make sure you read the instructions carefully for each ROM, as some require you to have already been on an ICS ROM due to file system changes. Do not flash anything for the Vibrant or any other phone or you will have serious problems. Good luck!

No they don't. They will all allow you to flash from stock gb as long as you have cwm 5.x

Antonx basic with a twist or bhundvens blastoff v2.5 are two good ones to use

If you don't care for GPS - I'd go with one of our great aries 4.2.2 ROMs.
till this fuctionality is added,
If you want a GPS on your daily driver, you'll have to flash an ICS ROM, such as
AOKP, CM9, HebMIUI, Ultragen....

Issue resolved
Hi Guys,
Thanks you all for the wonderful suggestions. I've now upgraded my sgs4g to ICS on CyanogenMod 9.1.0

and enjoying the awesome rom the developers have come up with. battery backup seems to be pretty good.
However, I had to execute an additional step which was not there in the instructions i.e., after
step 5. Flash the ROM using CWM/TWRP

phone boots up to ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) 6.0.1.2. Then I had to install cm-9-20130227-UNOFFICIAL-galaxys4gmtd.zip once again to finish the process. Hope I've not missed something here.
itzik2sh, I'll give a try to the latest aries 4.2.2 ROMs sometime later.

[Q] Unable to install CM10.1

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my tablet. When I try to install CM10.1 on my TF300T now, it won't boot. I've had it installed in the past, but for some reason it doesn't want to work now. Has there been some sort of change that would cause this? I can install CM10 on it, which I would have no problem using, but for some reason the AOSP Keyboard crashes every time I tap a text box, so I have no way of getting anything done. Any insight you could provide would be much appreciated.

Is there a guide on how to do this? I would assume update from inside the stock Asus rom, but I don't know which version to install from their website.

check my post in the thread i linked (post 12 there ) - even if it is for a total softbrick - you can follow those steps to flash the stockrom and then install cm10.1 or 10.2
i did it and alot of others did it too so it should work for you as well. it basically wipes your whole device so fastboot will work to push the blob. boot one time into stock and then install cwm/twrp and install from there cm from extsdcard

Okay, first, make sure you have whatever you need backed up.
Second, wipe everything except SD card ( dalvik, cache, system, boot, data)
Third, reflash the ROM, and report back if your problem persists.

You can't dirty flash a 4.3 rom over a 4.2 rom like you did since the gapps are not compatible. It causes all sort of force close like you have. Do as Setting.Out said and make sure you download the correct gapps for 4.3. Flash them after you flash your rom.

try the rom at my singature

4.3应该是没有官方的，另外 I9023XXI1指的是基带版本，应该跟刷那个版本系统没什么关系，4.3除了cm以外没发现有哪个bug少的

the google official didnot release andorid 4.3 for android,you can download official image from here(just google search nexus factory image,then open first links and find out the image adapt you phone),using fastboot flash you phone :victory:

Help flashing 4.4

I'm able to install several 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 based ROMs, but I've tried 3 different 4.4 based ROMs and they all failed. Anything I should know about TWRP flashing 4.4 ROM to D2VZW SGS3? I used Casual to root and unlock. I've jumped around to different kernels but back at stock. I tried a few 4.4 and 4.3 kernels when trying to install kitkat roms but that didn't matter either, still got a FAIL in TWRP. I wiped dalvik, cache and data, and even system, abd a few times more than once. Any ideas?

You running the latest TWRP? Maybe try CWM. Why do you use TWRP?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

you MUST use the latest CWM 6.0.4.3 in order to flash 4.4. team wins will not work. i recommend the touch CWM it is pretty sweet.

That's not correct... The latest twrp works fine on 4.4 roms... the only one it doesn't work with is the new liquid and I've flashed every 4.4 rom out there...twrp 2.6.3.1 or cwm 6.0.4.3 are what you need

YevOmega I started with CWM back in the days, but switched to TWRP, something about touch screen menu and OTG that got me. I'm a sucker for technical evolution. I am glad to see CWM Touch is out finally and I'll give it a try if TWRP lets me down or doesn't keep providing updates.

It is available. Nightlies are being built every day. I believe the fix has also been rolled into the CM 10.2 codebase, and will hit in the next stable release. Though @Nardholio will have to confirm that.

Nightlies aren't stable question has it bee introduced to 10.2 stable release from December

See my previous post. It will come in the next stable 10.2 release.

Which recovery are you using? Are you using the one linked to in the installation directions on the Wiki? If not, do so. It should work.

That recovery is far too old. Use the one linked in the CyanogenMod wiki for the apexqtmo. It's also the one linked in the CM-11 preview thread here.

The recovery I posted is the only recovery image that TeamApexQ supports. I also posted a recovery zip later in the thread that I can assure you works as well. Any other recoveries that you can get to work, excellent, but we are not supporting it. The OP will not be changed. As for the question of BTC, as I already stated, we've fixed it in CM-11. We found new firmware that works with it and the Relay.
