[Completed] From stock Android to ROM

Hi everyone, as first: thank you for making android as rich as you are making it .
I've a GT-I9070 with stock android , i can boot in to recovery mode holding down volup/home/power and i have the option to install zip files and wipe data so i wanted to install one of theese roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578599 OR http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/orig-development/rom-mahdi-rom-2-7-t2869985
Questions:
Is as simple as downloading the zip packages, putting them in to the SD Card and install them with the recovery mode?
Some users can't install the roms becouse of the wrong recovery mode(?), in many post is written to install an app from play store and use it to replace boot.img, will be the phone still booting after a faild attempt of flashing a custom rom?
Thanks very much for reading and sorry for the english, i'm Italian and i'm still studying :laugh:

Hi,
First thing, is are you rooted? You need a custom recovery to flash a ROM.
This is the place to find help and ask questions for your device,
Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070>Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
And here is a recovery guide, it also says how to flash ROMs with it...

Thank you very much! I was wandering if i still need to root it and install a custom recovery even if my recovery allows me to wipe cache/partitions and to install zip files
If someone confirm that i'll give cyanogen 4.4 a shot with my phone since it's full of customization by samsung that i don't like and cyanogen if full of customization that i DO like :laugh:
EDIT: In this post someone use odin to flash the image and then uses stock recovery to clean up(if needed), can i follow the same procedure?
Thanks for the link and the answere!

You definitely need a custom recovery to flash a rom. And the rom will be rooted anyway. If you want to unroot after, that's your choice. Read up on that, or ask in Q&A section link I gave you.
As far as flashing a rom with Odin... Never heard of that, only stock firmware. Yes, you also flash custom recovery with Odin. Not roms tho.
Anything else, please use the Q&A section for help. ?

[Completed] [Q] Failed Flash GT-I9515

I screwed up and flashed the ROM for the GT-I9500 onto my GT-I9515. Where do I find the stock ROM? Or, generally recover from my bone headed mistake.
The phone is currently telling me "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

Hi there,
I'd suggest asking in either of these 2 threads sections for a stock ROM:
Custom Stock ROM GT-I9515 Successful
Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Be sure to specify you have the i9515 which is the 'Value' edition.

Well by the looks of things users are already giving you further adive from the post you made in the other thread.
Good luck!
This thread may be of use to you, the i9515 is the same under the hood as the i9505 so look into it:
[GUIDE] Unroot/Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & I9505
Be sure to clarify it will work on the i9515
Thank you and thread closed

[Completed] Need help

Just flashed sungsonic ROM HD v7
Android 4.2.2 on my Samsung galaxy tab 2 p3100
But after flashing the rom .After boot it gets stuck at Samsung 's logo
Please help a lot of people have the same problems but no one had a solution in the q&A of the thread of the ROM
Thanks in advance

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I don't know how to get the rom working but if others are having problems it's probably the rom. To get your device working again you'll probably need to flash the stock firmware in Odin. If you don't know how to do that see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309

Thanks but. Most of the people had installed the rom properly
Only some people had problems

The best place to get help is in that thread. XDA Assist is not a technical help desk, we just point you to the right direction to get the help you need.

Greetings and welcome to xda. I think this is the correct custom recovery for your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/twrp-recovery-micromax-canvas-pace-4g-t3350469
all the instructions are there, if you are unsure of anything just ask in the thread and the experts will help you. Once you have twrp on your device installing and backing up roms is a breeze all though there does not seem to be a great deal of development for your device
Good Luck
