ICS-4.x-Audiophile Q&A

any question is in here right? haha

What version of CWM recovery is in this? Maybe raver or someone who's flashed this can tell me.
Sent from my SGH-T959V

It uses TWRP as the thread title states.

Nice work Raver!
For those not familiar with the Aroma installer, there are some good options in the "Advanced" screen. For example, I don't know if Audiophile ICS preserves /data by default when flashing. Aroma lets you back it up during the install process.
If you have a modem that you prefer to the KJ6 modem that is bundled with this ROM, you may want to use the Advanced settings to disable the modem flash.
Additionally, TWRP will let you stack zips, so you can, for example, flash in one pass:
ROM
gapps
Your own modifications in a zip
Kudos to Raver for not packaging gapps and obeying the licensing requirements imposed by Google.

Just install the rom zip. It will install twrp for you.

Amazing work raver. This is my favorite rom to date so far. It is running flawlessly for me. You once again have outdone yourself.

you can just install if you want to keep anything do the custom install and then click backup data/restore data so it keeps your files in tact ... it will auto format system data cache for you

you will need to download a gapps package do to the fact i cannot include it in the rom itself i dont have a link for one but i think there is one floating around here.

ok i went to install the rom and my phone just resets

check md5 of your download if it matches try a reflash.

ok how do i do that im not used to flashing this phone yet my admire was easy to flash

Definitely a fun ROM!
I just noticed that Droid48 doesn't scale well to the "mini-tablet" format, but that is likely an app problem, not a ROM problem. Still totally usable, just funny to see the little calculator buttons and labels.
SuperUser didn't update properly for me through Play -- I'll see if I can reproduce later on.

Hi mate, did you solve it?
Don't worry, as long as you have recovery mode and download mode you have good chances for happy-end
Maybe you're too far from stock now with all your kernels etc, so something is not compatible.
Best you can do IMO is to flash via Odin3_v1.87 any stock ROM for your region (there are many tutorials for using Odin if you never did it) if after unzipping only one single big file appears, choose it under PDA (don't check re-partition), set you Tab into download mode and flash it. If several files are there, each belongs under its section. (in that case if you are not sure how, just quote my post and ask again, I will answer you)
After that you can root the stock ROM, install CWM recovery and flash whatever you wish

Mate, I'm bit short ov experience with the Tab as it didn't make me yet so many problems like my phone did. If you can't revive it, just send it to Samsung service.
It isn't at all especially increddible idea but it won't cost too much and should definitely help.....

Directly booting to recovery

I have a rooted S-7500, with CWM recovery 5.0.2.8 installed. I (by mistake) allowed the 'software update' option to install a system update(or something) today by mistake (I know, you should never install system updates after rooting. My bad.) Since then, the phone directly goes to the cwm recovery mode on powering on, and i am unable to do anything else
I am not very well versed with the finer details of rooting bootloader recovery n all...so pls some details with steps...if possible .
Any help whatsoever...please I will be really grateful

Thanks!!! It totally worked!
Just a clarification...now that i have got the stock rom back on my phone...am i right in saying that I have lost root access, my phone is totally back to the 'original' state, and i have lost CWM as well? Please correct me if I am wrong.
And assuming that I am correct(above), I would like to re-root my device(need to use proxydroid to surf internet over the damned proxy server!). So..can I follow the standard method, ie, can I do it the same way I had done before, or do i need to do something different now?
And once again...THANK YOU for your help! I had ended up hard bricking my previous phone, and was really scared when this happend to my aceP. You saved me!

Easy way to ROOT your SGAP
Yes by the time you flash stock rom you loss root even any custom recovery you flashed before...
but now if you want to root your SGAP again don't follow that guide again which you done before just follow this :
Download ODIN from Downloading link below (inside ODIN software folder)
Download any one recovery which you like TWRAP / CWM v5.5 (inside Custom recovery folder)
Download Root_SGAP.zip from Root folder & place that zip inside in your sd card
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download Link : GALAXY Ace Plus - Basic stuff
FOR Custom_Recovery :
Open odin, be sure your system has already install drivers & if kies is there close it.
extract recovery zip
connect device to pc in download mod (vol down + power + home) & select that (recovery) .md5 file in pda section inside ODIN software
Click start & wait to reboot device
FOR ROOT :
Now boot device in CWM mod ( vol up + down + power + home)
choose zip from sd card & select Root_SGAP.zip
DONE.

you've successfully ROOT & flash custom recovery on your device by just few simple steps ​

Just 1 more qstn...is it necessary to apply a custom recovery before rooting? If no, is it recommended?? Because the last time i rooted, it made me put a custom recovery before rooting.

if you are going to stick on stock rom forever & only want to root device then stock recovery is ok for you...
but while dealing with custom roms, custom recoveries are smart choice.
it has lot of additional options than stock recovery.
so my opinion yes use custom recovery ​

Stuck in boot loop
Got stuck in boot loop after performing the steps. I was running this ROM.
Had to reinstall the ROM. I'm sure there's something I didn't understand or something I did wrong. I'd be thankful if anyone could point it out.

Please help, I do not want this whole process to remove the battery to get. Thank you!

hi @matutecarp99
you have to flash this file called cwm-permanentor.zip with CWM to prevent the Stock ROM to flash it's own recovery over CWM
Warning : flashing cwm-permanentor.zip makes your device status custom.

It's because the firmware overwrite cwm with stock recovery, you must root it or directly flash custom ROM. Or use the trick from the first replier.

you can see back up and restore in CWM.
actually backup is not necessary i suggested it because it's good to have a back up of stock rom, so whenever anything goes wrong you can restore your phone as it was.

So i should try the cwm? Some other guys had similar problems: After step 10 i wanted to boot to recovery but after a few seconds of the recovery loading screen (blue text) it booted to normal android.

Uninstalling CWM, getting this version of TWRP
I'm trying to get CM 12 on a friends phone but I can't get the recovery to work,
This is what I did:
1. Installed CWM through ODIN v3.07 (going into download mode and stuff)
2. It worked! I went into recovery mode and started wiping everything, but I got an error when wiping the cache partition
3. The phone rebooted.
3. Went to ODIN again, downloaded TWRP but after installing it (which I did correctly according to ODIN v3.07) the recovery didn't change and it's still that buggy build of CWM that won't let me install CM 12 on the device.
4. I though I could force install the recovery using a .img I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/ace-...3-lte-t2989278 but I really don't know how, any thoughts?
This is the buggy CWM copy I used and I want to remove: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2548856
Thanks!

hi there - i've tried both CWM (recovery-6.0.5.1.tar.md5) and twrp-2.8.7.0.tar.md5 but is still unable to install the cm-12.1-20150821-UNOFFICIAL-loganreltexx.zip.
I've downloaded the cm files a few times and have even formatted the sdcard yet receive this error message:
E:Cant open /storage/sdcard1/cm-12.1-20150821-UNOFFICIAL-loganreltexx.zip (Bad)
Installation aborted.
Appreciate advice on what I have done wrong or not done? Tks!

I never had random reboots on CM12 either with CWM or with TWRP

Hello Kotzir,
First of all, thank you for your great job !
Install via ODIN, already known method, like CWM
On this thread, it would be helpful to add a link to the latest version of Odin, or otherwise a link to this page :

And to precise how to enter the download mode :
1. Go to download mode on the device : when the phone is off, press "Home+ Volume DOWN + Power"
And, to be complete :
6. And when the phone is automatically rebooting, press "Home+ Volume UP + Power" to enter in the recovery mode.
Elsewhere the TWRP recovery will be erased by the stock ROM, and it would be to be redone...
Thanks !
