If you happen to get a bootloop because of installing a theme in cyanogenmod you downloaded, you've come to the right place.
1) First enter recovery mode, I assume you have twrp or cwm
2) Mount system and data
3) Press Advanced (in twrp)
4) Press File Manager
5) Go to data/system/theme
6) Delete everything there
It should now go back to stock theme, if this helped please press the thanks button.

Tutorial fixed
Tried this several times and comes with nothing, I followed tutorial really carefully. The install process through stock recovery running and it said finished, but when I tried to reboot again the CWM Recovery not installed. And then I figure out that the tutorial uncompleted.
So here it is the fixed Tutorial for Root and CWM Hisense HS-EG909 / AD683G
Installation CWM Recovery (ClockWorkMod)
1. Download file (you can select one of below), remember theres is two type of CWM Recovery. One is a CWM/CWM Touch Recovery, and others is CWM Recovery-Temporary
CWM-6.0.2.3.zip
CWM-6.0.2.3-temp.zip
CWM-6.0.2.3-touch.zip
Stock-Recovery.zip
2. Connect your USB to your phone then copy CWM file (both of them :CWM-6.0.2.3.zip and CWM-6.0.2.3-temp.zip)
from your computer to your SD Card
3. Turn Off your phone
4. Press (Power + Volume Down) to entry Stock Recovery then wait until the pictures come out Android then press Home (Install From Stock Recovery)
5. Still in Stock Recovery choose apply update from external storage in the option menu, install CWM-6.0.2.3-temp.zip.
In this state you are in CMW temporary condition, your screen will flicker often but it is okay because this just temporary. You can use volume "up+down" to navigate, "home" for menu and "search" for select.
6. Find a CWM-6.0.2.3.zip file and then install.
7. After it to makesure you can choose Advanced/Reboot into recovery mode. And your device should be reboot into CWM Recovery "Permanent Mode", your screen will not flicker again.
Sorry if this bother TS, I just hope if theres another person see this tutorial so they would not confuse like I did.
hi this is a tutorial of how i got from froyo (android version 2.2) to Jellybean (android version 4.3) without using a computer
ok so here are a few things you will need:
1x micro sd card (incase your data doesnt work to transfer files from computer or other device to phone)
1x a way to use micro sd card in computer (or other device)
Roms:
1x GB rom (the one i used is here)
1x ICS Rom (i used cm9 by entropy found here)
1x JB Rom + gapps (and i used scotts unoffical cm10.2 found here)
1x 3e Recovery (you can find this here and here is a video showing you how to use it)
***APP***
ROOT BROSWER ( or the one mentioned in the video)
ROM MANAGER
FRAMAROOT
ok so lets get to it... oh yeah
**************************** DISCLAIMER**********************
I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THESE FILES AND APPS AND I ALSO AM NOT RESPONISIBLE IF YOU END UP
GETTING A REALLY EXPENSIVE BRICK NOR IS ANYONE ELSE BUT YOUR SELF
-----------------------------------------------------------TUTORIAL----------------------------------------------
ok download the files and install the apps from above
have them on your infuse (by any means you can i had to download them on my s3 and transfer them via sdcard)
ok
STEP 1:
- use framaroot to root your devicejust open it and press aragorn( i assume all infuses will have the same exploit name)
- reboot
STEP 2:
- open rom manager and click install recovery and select galaxy i9000 (they have the same partitions)
itll download a zip
STEP 3:
- follow the video for the 3e recovery installation posted above^
STEP 4:
- reboot revocery but powering off the device and pressing and holding vol up and down and power, once you see samsung come up release power
(once in recovery it should say 3e recovery at the top)
- select install update zip (vol up and down move from one item to the next and power selects it)
(your screen should go blank then come back up in clock work mod recovery)
- once in clock work mod recovery go to wipe data (say yes)
- then wipe cache (say yes) then go to advanced and wipe davlic cache (say yes)
- go back and go into mounts and storage and format system (say yes)
-go back select install zip from sdcard find the zip for the GB rom and select it and select yes ==HURRAY YOU JUST FLASHED A ROM==
- go back and select reboot device
STEP 5:
- once your phone boots up and is loaded go back into recovery (via three button method)
- then repeat the wipes and formatting
- then go to install zip from sdcard, and flash the ICS rom (warning you will get rainbow recovery, but you should still be able to navigate it)
- go to advanced and reboot recovery and flash it again
- once the second flash it done reboot device
FROM THIS POINT ON PLEASE REMOVE THE MICRO SDCARDS FROM THE DEVICE
STEP 6: (for now on the wipes and formating will be called wiping)
- once the device has booted in to cm9 reboot recovery again
- you will still have rainbow recovery but go and wipe it again
- and go and flash the JB Rom (if its one of scotts the first time the flash will fail just flash again)
- after the second flash it should auto boot into recovery (where you will see that it is fixed and no more rainbow)
- flash the JB rom once more and this time flash the gapps as well
REBOOT!
AND THERE YOU GO FROM FROYO (2.2) TO JB (4.3)
IF THIS HAS HELPED OR YOU FIND THIS INFORMATIVE PLEASE PRESS THAT THANKS BUTTON
Hey guys I'm having some problems installing a ROM properly every time something is messsing up, so if can anyone give me a guide on how to install a ROM that will be great.
Iv'e tried google it but the guides are messed up
Nothing wrong with any guides online, but let's begin
Pre-steps:
1) Make sure you have a custom recovery http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/205
2) Download the ROM you want from its thread
3) Download Gapps if you want them http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
4) If the ROM's thread doesn't say it has root built-in, download SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/635/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.36.zip
5) Move the files to your phone if they aren't there already
The flashing steps:
1) Power off your phone
2) Hold power and volume down buttons down until it boots to bootloader
3) Press volume down until you see the text that says recovery
4) Press power button, it will now boot to your recovery
5) Press the big button that says wipe and swipe to factory reset
6) Go back to the recovery start screen
7) Press install
8) Find the files you downloaded earlier and flash them in this order: ROM --> Gapps --> SU
9) Wait while it does its thing
10) Press the button that says reboot system
11) The device will boot and you have just flashed your ROM!

This guide is split up into four parts meaning that if you just want to root your phone or just want to restore to stock then you can YOU CAN NOT INSTALL XPOSED WITHOUT ROOTING AND GETTING STOCK FIRST!
Welcome to my guide on how to install XPOSED on the Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-1337M) this guide is strictly for the SGH-1337M the reason I made this was because I spent a lot of hours trying to put parts of threads together since no one had specifically made a guide that was simple and noob friendly for installing XPOSED. Another reason is some people feel uncomfortable following guides made for the SGH-1337 mainly because it is different from the SGH-1337M. Another reason was I found no updated 2016/2017 guides for it. Follow every part step by step or you may risk losing your phone.
Also make sure you backup anything that isn't synced with Google that you want to keep, photos, music, contacts. This will delete all data on the phone.
