My Phone is Ace 3 (GT-S7272) ROOTED
i tried to make a custom rom with kitchen so i make a little changes on the stock rom
- Add Root Permission
- DeOdex
- Delete some apps i don't use and replaced them with ones i prefer
Build the rom and trying to flash it in Recovery mode
Wipe cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache
Then Installed zip from sdcard
Everything tell now goes right and he says succesfully installed
BUT when i boot my phone i found NO Changes happened
everything is the same as i didn't flash any thing + Root acces removed
Can any one just tell me what happened and how can i fix this ?
I believe your updater Script may be responsible.
But you might be better off posting in this thread. This is a Rom Cooking question per se and not necessarily device related.

Hi guys sorry for my lot questions
but I'm new and I want to descover everything in any thing that I use
okay
now I want to flash a custom rom on my phone(LG OPTIMUS ME/P350)
I learned how but the first step always be to go into the recovery mode when booting up.So I tried but it restore the default android
then I learned that I should install recovery mode(TWRP or CWM)
So I want to know
Is there a special version for every phone??
If so where can I find my on version
if no where can I find the general version for android 2.2.2
Look in the forum for your specific device. I'm pretty sure there will be a guide there.
Recovery mode is different for all phones.
Nice I will search And you ill have a very fast feedback
thnx for quick replay
Is it good
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080911
thing can I do it Also these steps are using adb
Also What is the kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17499336
how can it help me
A kernel is the underlying process that drives the operating system and manages the resources. Unless you really know what you're doing, I would strongly suggest that you don't replace your current kernel.
The first link looks fine for installing a custom recovery partition. Take note that the install process requires root access to the phone.
You can get root by following the instructions here.
There should be a link somewhere on the forum for you to download ADB. If you can't find it, you can install the Android SDK from Google, it includes ADB.
Ok I will try to try (nice sentence)them today
And wait for the feedback thnx for replays

I don;t have a 6200 so i don't know how to root it, it could be the same as the 6210 but I'm not sure. Look in the development section.
I can answer a couple of these other things but you could really get the answers quickly by googling them.
CWM
Clockwork Mod Recovery, a custom recovery as opposed to the stock recovery. You have to have a custom recovery installed in order to flash custom ROMs.
ROM
The operating system (OS)
Kernel
Facilitates communication between the OS and the hardware.
Flashing
A general term for installing a custom ROM, the stock firmware, a mod or an update. There are many ways of flashing and not all devices do it the same way. Samsung uses Odin and also certain files can be flashed in the stock recovery if it is unlocked. With HTC you can flash certain files directly in hboot if the device is unlocked otherwise you need a custom recovery.
Recovery
This is a software layer that you can flash to your phone that allows you to boot the phone into a utility state where you can install roms, flash things like patches or modifications, backup your rom/kernel, etc. When people refer to a nandroid backup, they are referring to a backup made here. It's a snapshot of your phone that lets you mess with things and restore back to that point in time should you screw something up. You pretty much can't brick your phone at this level - it's all just files and filesystems. You can also mount your SD card to reader mode for connection to a computer, do a factory reset of data, and a few other fun things like root your rom here. You should only root your rom if it is a stock rom that has not been rooted yet. Rooting a rooted rom will usually unroot your root so you don't have root. (copied from tspderek in the Rezound forum)

I should also add that Rooting (root) is just adding the superuser binaries to the system/bin folder and nothing else. Its pretty much the same thing as an administrator in windows, it allows you access to system folders. Rooting and installing a custom recovery are not the same thing, two different animals, though some devs will included both in their method for rooting a device. I prefer to do mine separately as I don't always want to install a custom recovery.
So I Unlocked my bootloader with htcdev.com, used hasoons toolkit to get Team Win Recovery Project, Once again used hasoons tool to get superSU rooted, installed etc. I then made a backup with TWRP, wiped the phone and flashed the Xylon Rom which i downloaded from the OneXRoot website along with the google apps .zip file. I then booted into fastboot and used cmd to flash the boot.img file onto the phone. Now the phone boots into the grey xylon screen but does not get any further, just that flashing white streak that indicates "Loading". I have tried wiping and restoring to the backup i made in TWRP but then it just loades the HTC One screen over and over not booting any OS, I have also tried wiping and re installing the rom with the previous steps to no avail. How should i recover my phone to a usable state? I dont care what Rom/OS is on there i would just like to get it working again.
Any advice would be appreciated greatly.
Kind Regards, Raf.
Did you erase dalvik and cache?
Or you can do an RUU. And next time, use xda as a despot of knowledge. ROMs downloads inclusive
And next time, also post in the q&a section

Are you Soff?
I believe Xylon uses the 3.4 kernel which required S off and running the 3.18 RUU beforehand.

Ok firstly I wouldn't suggest getting ROMs from anywhere except XDA. Other sites (especially OneXRoot) don't properly distinguish between phone models, put simply this leads to bricks. Secondly can you please post your bootloader details, it's pretty standard to do this when asking for help as it gives us the information we need to help you properly.
There could be a few reasons the ROM didn't boot but lets not get into that now. When you created the backup of your stock ROM which boxes did you check? You're s-on so most likely even if you checked the right boxes (system/data/boot) and then restored those partitions later your phone can't flash the boot partition in recovery which means it won't boot. I'd strongly suggest getting s-off, it has many advantages which we can get into once your phone is recovered, and at this stage there's really no reason not to have it.
The best way to recover and get your phone booting right now is just to flash a different ROM. You can download a ROM to your PC and use the mount menu in TWRP recovery to mount your sd card so you can copy it to your phone. If it's aosp just make sure you have the correct version of gapps to correspond with the Android version of the ROM (4.0/4.1/4.2/4.3/4.4). And obviously make sure you flash the boot.img via fastboot after flashing the ROM. Also make sure you perform a full wipe (cache/dalvik/system/factory reset) before flashing any ROM. Before you attempt to flash anything though I need to see your bootloader details as mentioned above, certain ROMs require certain firmware to be installed in order to work.
I mentioned before not to get ROMs from other sites, you actually don't need anything from anywhere except XDA, it literally has everything you'll ever need. The other sites generally just copy/paste from here anyway. Here is our device forum main page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Here are our two development sections:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1726 (aosp ROMs)
Here's the q&a section:

Also if you click the Everything Evita link in my signature you'll find that thread extremely valuable. It contains links to basically anything and everything that's of any use.

Hi, thanks for the tips about Son/Off I plan on doing that later,I figured out i could put a new rom on using the mount function in TWRP, I successfully loaded cyanogen nightly onto my phone and it is working great, however i flashed the gapps aswell but when I booted my phone i had to manually install the play store, maps, and other google services. When i made a backup I believe i ticked all the correct boxes, and i always cleared the cache, etc.
Thanks for all the help so far.
Raff.
You had to install Play Store? Or you had to install apps from the Play Store? Which ROM and which gapps package did you flash?

I installed CM10.2 Nightly (The .zip is called cm-10.2-20130821-NIGHTLY-evita) and gapps 4.3, I got these from the OneXRoot site unfortunately. I did this before I checked on the thread again and saw that these other sites were not the best/reliable things to use. I had to install the play store from my browser, I just googled play store download and installed it, then proceeded to install all my other apps.
Ahh ok, I see. As far as I know the best place to get gapps from is the goo.im gapps page. I'm not sure if they have 4.4 gapps up yet but they're fairly easy to find with Google.

i installed a custom kernel on custom rom without nandroid backup and now i want the ROM's own kernel as it was better optimized after analysis, so how do i extract it from the rom.zip file on my pc? and then flash it seperately through recovery like i flashed the custom kernel?
also, i was thinking about making a backup now with the new kernal and then flash the whole rom again with the stock kernel included and restore the backup but without the new kernal, but i dont seem to find an option in my recovery for such a custom restore, where do i deselect kernel restore? like i can in a stock firmaware's ftf file through flashtool. is it possible??
side note, (but could be related) can i use 2 different kernel management apps? one for overclocking and wide range of governors and the other for various kernal tweaks?? it could be what is causing the incompatibility in the fist place i think.... too much battery drain and touch screen goes crazy or unresponsive and ghost clicks and stuff. any suggestions?
Hi,
First, I will inform you that XDA Assist is here to help members navigate the site, not for support. Reading the stickies at the top of the Assist section will fill you in better.
You've been shown your device section to ask questions in your last Assist thread, here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2939871
Quickly, just flashing your rom again without wiping anything first will restore it's kernel. And no, you can't nandroid backup or restore only the kernel. It's all of the system or nothing.
And using 2 different kernel tweaking apps is never a good idea.
Any further questions can go in your device section. ?
Good luck and thread closed.
I'm now on stock trying to get root. In the meantime, I have made a backup of my old Rom when I had root and now I want to make it a flashable zip. I read the post in xda about how to go about this process and to go out to get access to a PC would be troublesome. 1) Is it possible to create the zip file from the backup using my phone 2) Can I flash this Zip using a non-official stock recovery & 3) I have tried to flash the SU zip with the stock recovery and it says that it's corrupt software although it's a clean file. Is there a way for me to flash the SU zip using my stock recovery. Now I apologize if it seems like I should be doing a lot more of my own research but I have been doing too much to the point that I'm stressing myself. My phone is a ZTE Grand X Max+. Thank you to all and enjoy the weekend.

Hi, Thanks for using XDA assist
It looks like there is no dedicated forum for your device, however
There is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can try to ask to get expert's help.
Good luck.
