Hi Team,
Reaching out to the experts to kindly help me in pointing to the right thread for solving my issue. I am quite new to trying to installations using multiloader and understanding the overall technical stuff around(2 long days old). I have a Samsung wave GT-S8500 cell phone on which I am trying to get Badadroid 4.4 loaded. I carefully researched n checked this forum to get the steps and pretty much followed them. I could flash FOTA and boot files successfully, however CWM recovery keeps on giving this error(can't open E:/cache/recovery/last_log) and simply doesn't respond to any option I select. I formatted the SD card, got the phone to reset to factory settings and done pretty much as much as I could from You tube videos. But failing to get Android installed. I wouldn't mind cleaning the cell phone again and start afresh but need some guidance on the same. Your quick help will really help me get over this huge challenge. Do kindly let me know if I need to provide more info.Thank you.
Regards,
Manupreey
Hi there,
I'm sorry, but XDA Assist is not a help desk, only to provide basic help to those who have tried searching but can't find what they are looking for and need assistance.
On the subject, I give you few links of threads where you can read and/or ask about you error:
Read about here [HOW TO] Install any custom BadaDroid Rom to S8500... or here [HOW TO] Flash BADA 2.0 on your Wave 1 (S-8500)
Post here your thread : Bada Software and Hacking General
Good luck

Hi there.
I very rarely need to post on forums to ask for help but in this instance i would like a little help before i proceed.
I have unlocked bootloader, and rooted my phone but im stuck on the next two steps i would like to proceed with.
Before hitting me with the old "use the search button" i have been through many pages and i am genuinly stuck. So please genuine help only.
The two steps i would like help with are the following.
1: Installing a custom rom. How is this method performed? Do i download rom and put it on memory card and install from Clockwork or do i need to do a bit more reading and install from fastboot?
2: I would like to install a modded kernal as well. Is this done through Clockwork or fastboot and does it require installing in a specific order i.e. rom first kernal second.
All help would be appreciated.
The available guides out there are not bad (and very appreciated), but i feel leave a few holes that I have ask for help for in the above for the modest rom flasher, Hopefully the answers to these questions could help others with simalar need.
Kind regards
Alex.

You are in the wrong forum section. To answer you questions:
1. Download rom and put it on memory card and install from Clockwork
2. Fastboot
No specific order, but I usually install the ROM first and then the kernel.

Lol if you searched you would've seen the stickies in the forum you posted your question in, which is the wrong forum!
1. Backup, wipe, flash ROM.
2. Reboot to fastboot then flash it using one of the many guides in this forum if you really searched.
Please post in the appropriate forums, the Dev section is NOT for asking questions or for support.
Hi guys,just few hours ago I discovered how noob I am on these android things.I don't know anything , the unique thing I was able to do was to root my phone but with some SuperSu fails... My phone is LG L9 P760.
I want a ROM ( possibly 4.4) because my current version ( 4.2) doesn't let me install games on my SD card so I tried my best to do so.I saw a lot of tutorials, and on all of them I failed because I'm a big noob.
I tried to restart my phone in recovery mode - Failed
Tried to unlock bootloader- Failed
I also tried also some other things I needed before installing the rom but all of them failed I think?
Can someone that's good help me install this ROM 4.4 on my phone and possibly help me when I encounter problems?Thanks in advance
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Follow this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313794 If you have further questions you can ask in that thread. They are the experts on your device..
Thread closed.
I've spent a couple days trying to figure out why my install is giving me so much trouble. With less than 10 posts I can't post in the active thread, and the Q&A thread gets no attention. I'm running a stock, previously unmodded (though used) Galaxy S5 G900T T-Mobile version, checking both the internally reported model number as well as the sticker in the battery compartment. It has been functional for over a year but getting slow due to too many apps.
I've reflashed, redownloaded, tried different SD cards, cables, computers, etc. I'm at least on my 20th flash. I've read some people having similar problems, but in the Q&A thread it's just people with no clue talking to each other.
I've even downloaded the same file (pointlessly, with the same hash and all) from multiple mirrors.
The phone hangs on the "starting apps" screen, IF I wipe dalvik and pull battery. Anything else hangs on the "samsung fireworks" boot animation.
CM12 went on just fine, as best I can tell I'm rooted. The other questions in the Q&A thread are, at best, incomprehensible and not providing ANY technical information or even a real question, I can see why they don't get a careful response - but I'm trying to approach this logically and carefully and just plain don't know where to turn. If there were some way I could record some data of use for someone more knowledgeable to look at, I'd be all too happy to do it.
I did just PM Edgar directly, so this may help - but I've got some 16 hours of seat time watching this phone not quite boot up (except on cm12) and I'd really like to flash something beyond the stock ROM. (as a total aside, does anyone know if the latest nightly CM12 build needs the boot animation patch applied or has it been incorporated?)
Thanks!
Hi there,
You already founded the right place for this questions so please wait there an answer.
The mission of XDA Assist is to provide basic help to those who have tried searching but can't find what they are looking for and need assistance. This is not a "helpdesk" providing technical assistance but more to point you in the correct direction with your problem. Perhaps you can't find posts on how to root your phone, install custom recovery or maybe you have questions about how to navigate and use features on the site.
Our XDA Assist team will give you links to threads/forums that are relevant to your problem. You may be pointed towards guides and instructions that can be quite complex, so you will still need to read carefully and be cautious before attempting to make software changes to your device. It is essential you are in the correct forum for your device model; what works for one can ruin another.

Hello all
I don't want to be that guy that makes one post and runs for the hills I actually want to be part of the community, unfortunately this current situation is driving me nuts, to the point where I just have to post.
You see I own a cubit x17 that features quite a lot of bloatware and malware that needs removing.
I have rooted my device using kingroot and even gone as far as to install TWRP. I have downloaded a custom ROM for my phone that is saved in my downloads.
The problem is I just can't figure out how to install it...... I've tried everything from using TWRP to manual booting (there's not a single install option on the manual boot screen) and as far as I know no SD card in the phone and I cant seem to find the download folder from the boot screen.
Please can somebody help before I pull the remaining hair I have left out.
Hello and thanks for using XDA Assist,
Your device does not have a device specific forum here on XDA, Please create a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. Experts there should be able to help you.

Hi XDA Community!
I can find information to about almost single topic, but the big problem is, i dont know where exactly to start with and the correct order of all of these steps.
What i wanna do is, like on a pc, format the whole phone, delete everything and set up a custom rom and root the phone.
My first step was trying to root it because i dont know if the root is related to the OS or to the phone kernel.....
I tried the CF-Autoroot procedure from XDA-Forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803 but i experience the same issue as many other users. When i click start the process starts, but gets stuck immediately when it comes to the imaging step. Then i get no response from my phone or Odin anymore, the bar wont process for hours.
I tried different USB ports, same result. But i can exchange data from phone OS to pc via USB without problems !
So im kind of thrown back now and i dont know what to do or where to start. Can anyone help me ?
5 Years ago i cooked a rom for my Sony Xperia X1 and put it on my phone without any problems lol, and now with Samsung i get only problems.....
