[Completed] Can't Install Custom Rom - XDA Assist

Guys,
I am using Galaxy mini GT-S770. I wanted to root my phone and to flash a custom rom. I was able to root my phone and. I can't Install Cwm. I tried both the methods By zip and odin. While going to cwm screen its shows E;/Mount error. also many features of cwm does not work. when i look for soloutions i found out that to use custom rom. so how can we install a custom rom without cwm. or how to fix the error. Thank you

Hi,
I can't find any Samsung with model number s770. Are you sure about that model? If your device is a clone and not an actual Samsung device.... Using files made for a Samsung will likely destroy your device.
If it is a Galaxy mini, and you've made a mistake on the model number, here is where to ask for help,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mini/help
Again, don't ask there if it's a clone. You won't find help there, or any files of any kind that will work on your device.
Good luck!

[Q] Flashing a kernel compatible with CWM

Hi, I am new here!
I have rooted my SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE with SOC and just downloaded ROM MANAGER, to start exploring new roms... however, turns out that for Samsung users we need a kernel compatible for Rom Manager. I need to do this to be able to Flash CWM recovery; as when I click that option, it does not come up with my phone model.
Anyway. The Dev says I need to flash a CWM compatible kernel... How do I go about doing this!? I have downloaded an app called SGS Kernel Flasher, but I assume I need to download a kernel before I can use this?!
I have searched round for an answer, I have found many forums in the Galaxy Ace with this particular issue but there apears not to be an answer...
Please help!
arghhh i knew it! nobody knows! samsung you suck I want my HTC back

[Q] i am desperately confused. rooting/backup recovery of galaxy S4

ok so i have my verizon galaxy s4 finally rooted, and i know it is because i have used multiple apps to check. now i have no idea what im doing because i cant find any guids. my friend told me to download ROM manager and i went through the process and i know i have clockworkmod recovery installed. so i went to the next step which he told me to download and install gapps. also he told me to whip my device completely at some point and i dont have contact currently with him. was i supposed to whip my device right after i rooted it and then get rom manager/gapps/ext..?
also, if i didnt need to do that then i fallowed instructions on the internet for how to install the ROMs and i downloaded gapps but how do i install gapps? and when i go to the boot menu where im supposed to install them it pulls up something different and the only options are to:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
appy update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cash partition
apply update from cache
PLEASE HELP!!!
What have you done?!!! OK after you root its not necessary for you wipe your data or system! ROM manager is a necessary tool although its a good tool for peopl who flash their phones very often
I suggest you to head over to the galaxy s4 sub forums and find a suitable ROM for you , the install instructions are mostly the same for all ROMs, but some ROMs have specific ways to install, details about which will be provided in the ROMs thread.

[Completed] HDC S5 or Goophone S5? Also how to instal ROM on it.

Hi guys,
Need help to get what kind of phone get into my hands? How to get differences beetwen those 2? All I know its the version with MTK6589.
Also I'm trying to instal some ROM at this phone, and can't get it done. SP Flash Tool is not seeing the phone, same with Odin, when I try to instal ROM from recovery mode it always say: aborted.
Did anyone of you had this phone and manage to be done??
Thanks for advices.

Thank You for the answer. Im not considering buying any of this devices, I just got it from my sister boyfriend to see what can I do with it. That's why I asked do anyone got idea how to check is it HDC or Goophone.
To Your second question: I think its HDC S5, so lets stay on it. I tried to instal ROM via SP Flash Tool and the program didn't find the devices (I was doing everything like in the instructions), same with Odin (which i guess is normal since its a chineese clone). Stock recovery at this phone is in china language so I tried to instal ROM via CWM Recovery and got only information that instalation is aborted.
ROM installed right now is:
model.. sm-g900h
device.. mtk 6589
android..4.4.2
baseband version. G900HXXU1ANCE
Ok well you'll need to ask your question here.
It's not a popular phone and has very little support so you may not find what you're looking for.
good luck

[Galaxy J1 SM-J100mu] root / supersu / twrp / signature problem

Allright. I've spent hours and hours reading about this and I'm afraid I didn't manage to find anything useful.
I own this model of samsung galaxy which isn't listed at all in any device list of twrp nor any custom-anything. So what I most managed to do was entering into stock recovery mode and try to install Supersu from the sdcard. Which lead to the failed-signature problem.
So here's my question; Is there any way of disable signature request in stock recovery mode? or maybe sign the apk so it handles it properly? The best solution would be to get a compatible version of twrp but I don't know..it doesn't seem to exist. I already tried some other J1 SM-Jxxx versions but they don't work. It just get stuck in samsung logo and no recovery mode loads ever.
Thank you very much for reading, I hope you can help me. I'm no expert.
Or I could try to find the most similar device to mine, so I can look for a TRWP prepared for that device and see if it also works in mine, hopefully. Any ideas?

What is your galaxy model actually? Maybe there will be more help coming if we know your device model
