Hey guys,
I have only rooted my Samsung galaxy Express GT i8730 by iRoot and have not done anything else. Could someone kindly please give me step by step very detailed instructions along with all the links to downloads for me to flash Cyanogenmod 11 or 12 on my device. I have tried a few different already instruction on xda, but none of them seem to work.
Any help is appreciated.
Is easy
1) ClockWorkMod 6.0.4.8 (or higher)
2) Download ROM .zip
3) Download Google apps (optional)
4) Put both .zip files on your device (either internal or external storage)
5) Boot your device into recovery mode
6) Make backup (if needed)
7) Wipe data/factory reset (not needed if installing updating from previous releases, but is necessary if upgrading between CM versions (example, cm-11.0 to cm-12.0 )
8) Install the ROM .zip file
9) Mount /system, install Google apps (optional)
10) Done.
You can search for TheWhisp on xda for more details.

The steps listed are as follows (my questions are in brackets):
Download the ROM (clear)
Download GApps package (clear)
Put the zip files on your SDCard (internal SD card not on additional I suppose. Exact location?)
Reboot in Recovery (my phone is currently encrypted. I assume that I have to do a factory reset before to decrypt and the power and volume+?)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset (in settings, I suppose? Or is it a menue point?)
Install CM12 zip file (how is the installation started?)
Install GApps zip file (dito above)

Hello
Yes, It is correct way. You may check here too.

Hello everyone. I have come up with a lazy way to install custom ROM (such as Cyanogenmod) in *most* phone (I tried this on S3mini and Galaxy MEGA). Please note that this method moght not work on your phone and I am not responsible for bricking your phone.
Things you need:
-Your phone, fully charged
-Your precious time (About 30-60minutes)
-One click root app (I use Kingroot, download it with apk) (You may use other apps, of course)
-TWRP manager from playstore
-ZIP file of TWRP in latest version (V3?)
-ZIP file of the custom ROM matching the version of your device
-ZIP file of GApps matching the version of the custom ROM (Google for gapps and download it)
Steps:
1. Backup your personal information
Copy your personal information such as music, photo, documents out of your phone (e.g.: Cloud drive, USB, SD card). Safety first.
2. Root your phone
Download Kingroot and install the apk with package installer. Run the app and follow the instruction in the app to root.
3. Install TWRP manager
After rooting, install TWRP manager. In the app, install TWRP that match your device.
4. Create a backup for your phone
Boot your phone into recovery (Every phone have different method, so please google about this). In TWRP, press 'Backup' to create the backup.
5. Flash the latest version of TWRP
As the TWRP manager does not offer the latest version of TWRP, you have to flash the latest version by installing ZIP. The latest version of TWRP can install ROM with higher success rate.
To do this, press 'Install' in TWRP. Find the ZIP file of TWRP in latest version and install it.
6. Reboot your device to Recovery mode
7. Wipe your device
In TWRP, press 'Wipe'. Select Cache, Dalvik Cache, System and Data partition and wipe them.
8. Flash custom ROM
In TWRP, press 'Install'. Select the Custom ROM ZIP and install it.
9. Flash GApps
Most custom ROM does not have Google apps such as play stote, so you have to install it.
In TWRP, press 'Install'. Select the GApps ZIP and install it.
10. Wipe Cache and dalvik cache
In TWRP, press 'Wipe'. Select Cache and Dalvik Cache partition and wipe them.
11. Reboot your device
Now the ROM should be properly installed. First boot might take longer, so please wait patiently.
Shall you brick your phone, try to recover by using backup created in step 4.
PS: I am a newbie here and this is my first guide
While you have to wipe your device to flash the custom rom, it will wipe your data, including the actual Gapps and rom. This shows that your method won't work.
Hey everyone,
During the initial versions of LineageOS, I wasn't been able to install it due to error:7 (Baseband error).
Now, I have tried a method that worked on my yu Yunique device.
This method can be used for any other device also but you have to find corresponding ROM file and other stuffs for your device only.
**Remember to take a full backup before experimenting with your device**
Procedure:
You need following things before you start-
1. LineageOS rom file: https://download.lineageos.org/jalebi
2. Open Gapps: http://opengapps.org (choose platform=ARM, android=7.1 and variant of your choice)
3.Caesium kernel: https://transfer.sh/Yqhm8/Caesium-jalebi-20170701-140319-v2.1.zip
4:LineageOS root file:https://download.lineageos.org/extras (Name: su(arm), version:14.1)
5. Firmware File: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298934200
NOTE **There are some times that this method won't work in the latest TWRP i.e 3.0.3-0. So, revert back to TWRP 2.8.7.0 and then try the given method.**
Method:
1. After taking a backup of your previous working ROM, wipe off the Dalvik cache + system + cache + data in the recovery.
2. Flash the firmware image.( This solves the baseband error problem)
3. Flash the lineageOS rom file.
4. Now flash the caesium kernel( prevents bootloop)
5. after flashing all 3 files, reboot into system.
The first bootup will take about 2-3 minute(can go upto 5-7 min also). so have patience.
This worked for me. If it also works for you too, then please tell.
Also, you can watch my youtube video for the same:https://youtu.be/nYOsDeG5Kfs
Thank you

You can also solve this prob by delete baseband line in updater script
