[Q] Can I install from SD Card?

Hi all
I hope I dont get flamed for this one but....
Today, I aquired a Samsung GT-I5800 Android phone.... (Previous to this, I had a HTC Tytn... so not totally ignorant)
Unfortunately, it looks like this phone does not have anything installed on it! All that happens is that it boots to the, 'Android system recovery / Samsung Recovery Utils - for BML'
I have looked around for the answers to the following questions but have not yet found any!
1 - How do I get a ROM on to the unit?
2 - Is it possible to so it by SD Card? Does it have to be USB?
3 - What can I install - what version should/could I put on it?
Please be gentle - its my first venture with Android!

CLOSED

1.you use odin. There are a lot of tutorials here just look.

Hope i could help you

first of all try wipping data (factory reset) and cache partition from the Recovery Utils menu.

[Q] Seeking mirror for Tweaked v2.2

Hey guys,
I have been trying to download the latest version of Tweaked for a day now, and every time it gets within a minute or two of finishing the download, I get an "Unknown Network Error" and the download fails.
This is getting pretty frustrating. Can somebody host a mirror somewhere?
Thanks

Are you trying to download from Tweaktools or the thread link?

Thread
I have been clicking the thread links. I am unfamiliar with "Tweaktools".
Thanks for the quick reply!

Are you running Tweaked 2.0 or 2.1 right now? You can go to Terminal Emulator and do this:
1. Type su
2. Enter
3. Type tweaktools
4. Enter
5. If it prompts you to update here, type y and press enter (may reboot as it installs some fancy new stuff)
6. If it reboots just go back to step one. It won't happen again.
7. Once you're in the main menu press the related button for "update" (its a number or letter that I can't remember) and run through it (you should know by now after following this). Done.

Version
Hey again,
I've been unable to check what version of Tweaked I am on. My system info doesn't offer that info, and the TSM tools link doesn't seem to either.
I installed it quite a while ago, it is a relatively buggy version that tends to just restart while typing out texts. I am still unsure which though.
Should I still go through with that Terminal install?

Fixed
Hey guys,
I connected to a different network, and it sucked the files down no problem.
Now happily on 2.2!
PS
Can anybody tell me if there is a way to not make me log in and do a captcha evertime I want to reply...?

[TUTORIAL] How to flash back to a Stock ROM! (@mod: Sticky idea?)

Hi all,
This is an basic how to for reflashing a Stock-ROM.
I made this so the newbies can reflash their phone to stock after trying out any other awesome ROM.. And to prevent these questions in the threads!
REQUIREMENTS
Original Samsung Cable
Odin V4.43 (Click me!)
AriesVE.OPS (click me!)
Samsung Drivers installed ( Download and install Samsung KIES!)
Patience
'
STEP BY STEP GUIDE
You have downloaded Odin and AriesVE.ops (Yes?)
Great, lets get started!!!
First: Open the taskmanager on your computer (ctrl+alt+del). Go to "Processes" and search for:
Note: Samsung KIES has been updated to version 2.5
Code:
KIES.EXE
KIESPDLR.EXE
KIESTRAYAGENT.EXE
KIESAIRMESSAGE.EXE
Close all of these... :good:
Next: Download your ROM ( for stock ROM go to Samfirmware.com and make an account and search for GT-I9001) Download the correct ROM ( it is an .zip file so unzip it, if it's password protected the password could be samfirmware.com )
You can also download from here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9001#
For an easy way check this list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002171 (©Outerh3aven) here you can find every stock rom atm availeble.
Then: Open Odin, if your computer is running on Windows 7 or Vista select Odin and press the right mouse button in and select "Run as Administator"
Then: In odin select "One Package". In the line OPS you have to put AriesVE.ops, so click browse and search for the file.
Then on the bottom of Odin you'll see "One package" Select the StockROM you just downloaded.
Then: Turn off your phone and turn it on in Download mode ( Volume Down + Home + Power) and connect your phone to the computer.
You'll notice a yellow square with COMM(3)! and in the log you'll see Detected!! and Added!!
Simply pres START and grab a beer :laugh:.
Your phone will reboot in recovery to finisch the job. After this it will reboot again and your phone is back to Stock. This proces takes time so be patience!!
Pro's:
- Stock so you have your warranty back :victory:
- Stable (only the launcher is not stable.. )
Con's:
- Full with bloatware
- No root and not able to use apps which require root
- No theming
- No OTA
- No ICS or JB
Some things that can happen during flashing:
- Odin gets stuck at Setup connection!!
> Just remove phone (you'll see FAIL!! dont worry!) remove battery for 10 sec and try again..
- Hang at boot
> Remove battery, turn your phone on in recovery and wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset
-Odin is not responding
> Dont do anything!!! Wait and see what happens!
Some advice:
When the flashing process gets stuck at System.img.ext4 download. Try it again for at least 2 times.
If that doesnt work for you. Flash BroodROM RC5.
You'll wonder why :silly:
Well, for some reason it fixes the partitions and after the installation of BroodROM RC5 your phone will reboot succesfully.
Hit thanks if you think it's usefull!!

How to root and unroot your stockrom and many more
If you flashed your phone back to stock, you wont have root anymore. If you want root on your stockROM follow this little guide:
How To root:
- Download this file (Click me!)
- Put this file on the internal SD card!!! (very important beacuse StockROM cant acces External SD via recovery!!)
- Scrol with Volume buttons to "Apply Update from SDcard"
- Press the "Home button" and scroll to Root-I9001-signed.zip
- Press the "home button" again scroll to "Yes" and press the "home button" again
- Reboot you phone and it will be rooted and it will have SuperUser
How to Unroot:
-Download this file (Click me!)
- Put this file on the internal SD card!!! (very important beacuse StockROM cant acces External SD via recovery!!)
- Scrol with Volume buttons to "Apply Update from SDcard"
- Press the "Home button" and scroll to Unroot-I9001-signed.zip
- Press the "home button" again scroll to "Yes" and press the "home button" again
- Reboot your phone and it will be as normal as it was before rooting and the applicaiton SuperUser will be gone

Great tut!
To get the warranty back, you have to reinstall the stock recovery too.

Hi, thanks for posting. I'm glad you did it. But one thing is the title is a bit confusing. I think you can try renaming it to How to flash back to Stock ROM.

One more question by the way. What is the SS_DL.dll file for It's put along with the md5 in the zip file.

It's useless. Just delete it

No I didn't do that. Is it necessary? Because last time i tried flashing to others without doing that.

Yes. I would fail sometimes if you didn't run as admin. Also disable kies, anti virus and firewall.

Need help OnePlus One stuck on bot screen

Hey guys ! I need help please. Actually i changed my build.prop i followed this guide under my post, then reboot , but actually my screen is stuck on OnePlus One powered by Android , bot screen . Can you help me please. I just have acces to CyanogenMod Simple Recoverey <3e>
"Recently google gave a few devices the feature to cast your screen to chromecast, sadly opo isn't among the list.
But if you're rooted, you can do this mod and it will work, and it's pretty simple. You just have to trick the OS into thinking you have a nexus 5.
Edit the /system/build.prop
Find the line where says ro.product.device
Change "A0001" to "hammerhead" (without quotes)
Reboot
Open your quick toggles, and press the cast screen button
Enjoy!"
Thanks in advance !
EDIT : Resolved , you can close this post , thanks.

GPS Not Working
Hello and thank you in advance...
I followed the directions in the first post the best I can and I am not able to get the GPS working. I am pretty new to all this so the chances are I am making a pretty basic mistake. I am using TWRP. I have a backup of my original OS that I am using. I have cleared all memory (not the sdcard) and restored the original OS and the GPS works set in device only mode. For some reason I cannot get the FasterFix to work on that OS it just opens a black screen and makes the device run very slowly. I confirm that GPS is working by launching Google maps and Waze and all is well.
I then flash the ROM (which is FANTASTIC by the way) and confirm that the location is set for GPS only and then when I launch Maps and Waze, GPS doesn't get a fix. I can launch FasterFix, but it just lets me select a server then site there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
dp

I re-installed the GPE from Scratch after I turned the location setting to device only and voila.

Quick question about the heads up apk. Devices to opt out if that in the install process but is it the notifications popup thing similar to android L's? If so is it possible to sideload from the downloaded zip? I'm keywording for heads up don't see nothing though.
On another note I love this ROM to death, great work. I was hesitant to try goe but gosh darn it I fell back in love with stock android. Great job!

I downloaded the ROM and put it on my SD Card and installed it. But I have the screen with the bubbles animations who keeps playing and playing all and over again. and my HTC isn't running, i don't know what to do I've pressed the volume up button while holding in power and selected fast boot, factory reset , recovery mode etc.. each time takes me back to the same screen with the bubbles animation.
Please, HELP

My HTC ONE M8 don't start
Hello everyone, I have a problem.
I downloaded the ROM and put it on my SD Card then installed it. But after the installation, my HTC don't start I have the screen with the bubbles animation who keeps playing. I've pressed the volume up button while holding in power and selected fast boot, factory reset , recovery mode etc.. each time takes me back to the same HTC screen with the bubbles animation. I don't know what to do.

.wma and potentially .m4a playback
I was running the stock sense rom before switching to the gpe edition. While on the sense rom I was able to listen to .wma and .m4a files in Google play music (these files are local to my device, I'm not playing them through my Google play account). Now on the gpe rom I can't listen to .wma files. I'm unsure on .m4a.
Solutions online that I have found either mention using a different music app or adding your music to your Google play account and download them through the app that way.
I'd rather do neither. I would like to continue using the Google play app and don't want to add my songs to my account because I wish to maintain my songs manually on my phone. Does anyone know of any way to add the support to android or have a zip to flash to add it?

Install?
Phone: HTC One M8 (VERIZON)
Problem: Installing [ROM][10/30/14]4.4.4]Google Play Edition (As L as can be without the real thing)
But for the life of me don't understand these instructions. It's like a step is missing or something. Do I need another bootloader? How do I go from step 2 to 3? And step 3 to 4? I'm sorry for the newbie question. I tried searching "install" and "wipe" in this thread and was overwhelmed with other responses.
1. Download.
2. Put on SDCard.
3. Wipe Data if coming from different ROM.
4. Install.
5. Reboot.
6. ??
7. Profit.

Figure it out.
1. Install and run Sunshine.
2. Install TWRP
3. Boot TWRP and install zip from sdcard.
Thanks all.

I can't get into recovery mode cuz the bootanimation screen won't let me in
hi! I tried flashing this ROM but after flashing it with Xposed framework, it's on a bootloop. I tried getting into recovery but it won't let me in because it just restarts on the boot animation. What to do? Thanks!

Has anyone used the screen cast in the latest version of this rom? When I activate it my Chromecast isn't listed on the devices list.

Multirom + Skydragon's Lollipop Rom
Can I add Digitalhigh's Lollipop Rom as a Secondary ROM or do I need to flash is as the Primary ROM?
EDIT: I have seen 2 posts in the main Dev thread that they have added Skydragon as a secondary ROM but are having a couple issues. I will try again... The First time I tried it hung at the splash screen. I assumed boot loop so went and reinstalled using the "no wipe" option in aroma and still a no go. If someone has successfully added this as a Secondary ROM please chime in. Obviously I am only on my 3rd post here so can't post in main thread. Also I do have the 4.4.4 Firmware installed. Thanks

The google drive says that too many people have downloaded the file in the past 24 hours. Can anyone rehost the file?

Ok I have to download it on my computer for some reason my it won't let me visit the link on my phone. Thanks.

Updating firmware to 4.4.4 but still running 4.4.2 sense.
1.Would updating my phone with this process erase or delete anything in my phone?
2. Im running 4.4.2 sense in my phone, would I have any compatibility issues running this version of sense once I update everything to the 4.4.4 firmware, except for my rom?
1.Download this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655049353
2.Rename to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on the root of your external SD
3.Reboot and run HBOOT, it will detect the zip and upgrade
4.After the install is finished, flash the lollipop rom, do not change any options
5.After the ROM has been flashed, make sure to rename the zip or remove it from your SD so that HBOOT does not attempt to upgrade after every reboot

Google Play Services?
Google play services are chewing through my phone's battery. Anyone else experienced this?

Loving this ROM but I'm having some problems with it. First, SU is having trouble sticking and is constantly asking for perms after I've granted it. Also, I still can't figure out how to get write permissions. I tried fix permissions in recovery (bootloop) and I tried doing some terminal emulator commands that was in the ROM thread but still nothing. Oh and when I try to download some apps from the Playstore, I get a 505 installation error. I did run a Titanium Backup restore.
