I found on git a cm11 device tree
However, if you do not have any kitkat rom, it could be the updates brings you more headache than advantages

Any link to your cm11 nightly thread?
Or better, the github with cm11 device tree. Officially, your phone is still on cm-10.2

Can I still restore backup after 'MD5 mismatch'?
I recently got a new i577 that came with Android v4.0.4 loaded. I installed 'Philz 6' and did a backup before trying a couple custom ROMs. I just went to restore my backup and it failed, showing 'MD5 mismatch'. I'm wondering if my backup is now useless/lost. Any way I can fix this and get my v4.0.4 back?
Any thoughts or help? THANK YOU!

Somewhere on this site is a zip file of stock ice cream sandwich. Just do some searching and you'll find it And if you want the stock recovery image that's on here to

Found a stock ROM for 4.0.4 and loaded it. Works fine BUT, I still have to reload all my stuff from scratch. A real PITA. Why did the RESTORE fail. Doesn't make me trust 'Philz' very much. Looks like I'll have to find another backup tool and ONLY use Philz for loading ROMs. Maybe Ill switch over to TWRP if it does reliable backups.

There is a fairly recent TWRP for the Exhilarate out here somewhere on XDA. I'll try to find the link.

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?

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.

CWM touch used to give issues. Idk if it still does. Stick to regular CWM. I understand that you want touch, as do I, but...

Glad I could help. I'm going to switch to 4.4 tomorrow. Any reason you chose CyanFox and over Gummy or HellFire? I'm not sure which to pick. They seem to have similar cherry picks.

[Q] problem going from 4.3 to 4.4

I have tried a few different 4.4.x builds (kitkat) and all the flashes failed so i had to go back to a 4.3 build. Any idea what i am doing wrong? Never had a flash fail until i went to 4.4.x.
Thank you!

Sorry man, but i am new to this stuff, bare with me. Recovery? Is that the program i use to flash ROMS and other things to my phone? I have the Team Win Recovery Project and i hate it. I read that i need to update this before i flash so i did and it still happened. I want to delete the Team Win Recovery Project and go back to Clockwork Mod (i think its called). Any idea how to do this?

Download flashify from play store and use it. It will let you download and flash either recovery. There's a variety of other apps and ways as well. In all honesty though, if you're using the latest version of twrp then you shouldn't have a problem flashing if you're trying the appropriate roms for your phone.

Tab 3 T210R 4.1.2. Stock Kernel ROM

I'm looking for a ROM for my Tab, I've tried three different ROMs all ending with the Status 7 error. I haven't tried the Inspire ROM and would like to but the Dropbox account has been disabled. I've searched for a new download but could not find anything. Could anyone point me in the direction of getting this ROM or possibly help with the Status 7 error? I really do not want to edit a ROM and brick my device. Thanks in advance.

Status 7 is when your recovery is outdated and can't flash the current firmware (needs updated recovery).
Can you tell me which recovery are you using and its version?

I have found it works better to use Odin (if on windows) or Heimdall (if on Mac or Linux) to flash recoveries.
