[Q]Problems with installing ROM [GT-5660]

Whats up? Well , half a year ago I bought an Android phone, a Galaxy Gio. It was rooted in the first few weeks, and totally costum after a month. So a few hours ago, Id decided to use a costum ROM. I remembered how I rooted my phone, and tought installing ROMS worked the same way. I guess I should have read a tutorial :| Now, my phone won't start and is ****ed up.

When booting, a black screen with on-screen text "android" shows up. ...please help me D:

8 hours ago me and my best friend (the owner of the gt540) had the idea to root his phone and install a custom rom.I have rooted my optimus2x several timesand i thought that it would be easier than it seemd to be.he'sphone had a factory problem.It couldn't connect to play store.so i downloaded the r4 and rooted he's phone.this is when the problems started.i installed clockworkmod but when i rebooted it booted normally.no clockworkmod recovery.so i followed some guides about have it done and finally i had to install an orange staf from france or england....(i do not remember).then i wiped data /factory reset and clear dalvik cashe and every rom i tried to install said fail status 7.i tried cyanogen , oxygen and more.now i can go cwm but when i let it boot normally it gets stuck at orange.please gime a solution cause tomorrow he is flying to Cyprus to college and he has to have at least a working phone there.uf anyone wants more than answer and can chat with me,i can tell you my Skype so that solution can be found much faster!!!thank you for your tine!!!!

wtf?????
well guys,i do not know what to say.....after several reboots it booted normally and unrooted.......i rooted the device from the start,all over and everything is ready....i do not know how it happened....

[Q] Note 10.1 4G N8020 messed up

Hi all. Tried my first root + custom rom installation and i messed up the device..
i had the newest KIES firmware update (phone XXBMA5) and (XXBMA6) and i rooted the device with odin (3.07). That went OK.
Then i installed the CWM recovery with odin and that was OK too.
Then i downloaded the latest Omega Rom (i missread that it supports N8020) and followed the installation instructions to the point where it started installing Omega V2.0 from SDCARD and then it asked me to select device from a list that included only (N8000,N8010,N8013)..
So the situation now is that i have working odin, working CWM and backup of the EFS (img+tar) but no working recovery. i live in Finland and the device is Sonera locked i think, so the stock roms (international) do not work i guess.
KIES has a backup of my Note but i can't even get to a point where KIES discovers the device.
So basically i think i need a working ROM for my model (Note 10.1 4G N8020), or can i recover the original samsung software somehow ?
Any advices ?

Just a thought, but can't you reflash CWM or the stock recovery?
If you didn't install the rom why do you need to re-install anything. Just powering down and powering up should have left you as was....

Maybe i'm missing something but isn't CWM your custom recovery?
It doesn't sound like you've actually installed any rom yet.The Omega installer doesn't actually install anything until a few steps after the one you mentioned about the model type.
I'm with ultramag69 on this one. You should still be on a stock rom unless you already wiped your original rom.

Hi again. Problem solved, just had to do emergency thing from KIES. Like i said this was the first time trying root + custom ro install and to be honest it went to ****. Somehow i managed to delete the stock firmware so that is why the recovery gave me (no files). I did make some backup but when tried to restore it said MD5 mismatch or something. At first the KIES emergency recovery could not find the device, but after i switched from CWMcto stock recovery it worked.
So what did i learn from all this ? Nothing, because i am getting too old (tired+lazy ) to do proper investigation. So one could say my strategy is to bang my head to the wall as long as it takes to go trough. Even if i could just go around it
So basically i am now at the point where i started, with stock 4.1.2 rooted. Used the triangle away to wipe the (6) custom installs or something away, but it still says custom in the settings> information. Does this mean that OTA won't work ? Any way around it ? Because i would like to check now and then that is my version of android the newest one..
Could someone recommend a custom ROM for my Note 10.1 4G (LTE) N8020 4.1.2 because the only one i was able to find was the CyanogenMod (or something) and it basically makes the S-Pen (almost) useless. What i would like is the Omega ROM, but like stated before the installation only supported N8000, N8010 & N8013...
Added screenshot from info.
Thanks anyway

What is truly amazing is that i did not brick the device tough..

switch from cwm to stock

How did you switch from CWM to stock? I have having a problem syncing with kies also using omega rom on n8013.

I was not easy, i just tried the download mode over and over again with KIES open in windows and somehow it finally did find my device and offered a emergency restore. That is it, and the device was restored to default "original state".

OMG.... one would think after nearly having bricked your device you would either A) stop messing around with it or, B) read and learn more about what you're wanting to achieve and THEN maybe trying something with the ABSOLUTE certainty that a backup to restore is available to you in case of any mishap!
Moral of story :
Don't do anything until you are absolutely sure you have read EVERYTHING about what you are going to do.
For others wanting to mess with their devices, take heed! You may not be as lucky as OP (or troller) whichever is applicable.

There comes a certain point, that when crossed one does not care what happens to the device at hand. After fighting with my n8020 for several days in a row i couldn't care less, and like said before i dont have the level of enhusiasm like i had when i was younger. Of course i know now what went wrong.. But seriously, these are just overpriced toys, so it's not a matter of life and death.

H60-L02 return to stock help

Hey guys,
Have had my Honor 6 H60-L02 FDD-LTE for little under 4 hours now
Already unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM V.6.0.5.1
I installed the MIUI v4.9.6 Rom and i don't really like it, it keeps coming up saying com.android.phone has stopped, and when you update to v4.12 it gets stuck in a boot loop
So I don't think MIUI is very stable for the phone, and I want to install EMUI v3.0 (This isn't lollipop yet is it?)
Long story short, I figure i have to reflash the stock recovery firmware because CWM wont install an Update.App file
I downloaded the Honor 6 Multitool
When i get to install recovery, i choose my honor 6 model then it asks for EMUI 2.3 or 3.0, i tried all the 3.0's and they dont load the recovery, just go back into android
so i tried some of the EMUI 2.3's, i have no idea what each number at the end represent and which one suits my phone... i.e B118SP02?
So that is what stage im at, i have MIUI v4.9.6 with CWM V.6.0.5.1
And i am trying to install EMUI v3.0 stable
Any help would be pretty awesome, can say im slightly disappointed with the availability of roms for this phone, but hopefully this will change in the future

Ok ...
i will start from beginning , i will tell you how to get the last stable update for your phone .
witch is B310【EMUI3.0_Android4.4】.
First Download it from here it's 1GB .
or from here (you should translate it first and click on stable and download) .
Second continue with this link .
Attention : Do step 6 before 5 .

Or go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57274153&postcount=1
scroll down to: 3 Button Restore not working (If you change between variant example L02>L12) Or Partition been changes and cannot restore back Stock version. Use this steps below : -
Links to the revert package etc are in the post too

Tried Myahyam's method and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop (shows the honor, powered by android splash, goes black then repeats the splash)
need to unbrick the damn thing now
im following the honor 6 multitools unbrick method, its in fastboot transfering files now, will report back when its done.
Just out of curiosity, besides MIUI and EMUI, what other roms are available to flash using CWM or TWRP?

Okay, managed to get CWM back on and sideload the MIUI4 rom again, just to prove to myself that I didn't brick my phone, so that parts all good!
I will have to try your method another time Julsen, i fly out on a 3 week holiday tomorrow morning, and want to load some games and movies to the phone to watch on the plane.
Hopefully when I come back in 3 weeks, there will be a better choice of roms to install using CWM/TWRK
If not, I will attempt your method Julsen, at least i now know how to fix any softboot/bootloop problems, good learning experience all up!

Here u will find couple of custom roms flashable via cwm

Help me please!
I am having exactly the same problem that serpent is having.
Did any1 found solution?

Hey all, back from my 3 week trip
@nrpetonr i went to that site and grabbed two roms to flash using CWM, they both seem to put it into a boot loop
This phone is strange really, ever since i have unlocked the bootloader and put on a custom rom, its been the only rom that has worked, the rest all put me into a bootloop
Maybe i should try TWRP instead
