Galaxy s8+ rom not booting anymore [SM-G955F] - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi!
First of all, I want to say thank you for this very helpful community! I love this place!
I've got a galaxy s8+ running 1 primary stock 7.0 touchwiz rom and 2 secondary dualbooted 7.1 roms (Lightrom and Batmanrom)
About a month ago, my primary rom didn't want to boot anymore. From googling, i understand that you will need to flash a new rom on top of your broken rom.
I'm familiar with the process, however... if I flash the exact same rom on top of the broken rom, will I lose my system app data? I.e text written samsung notes, browser data like history, bookmarks etc?
I couldn't find anything about this on the www . The information stored on that rom is of high importance to me...
Thanks in advance!

[Q] stock rom identification for galaxy s2 ?

Hi Guys.
I've flashed my Galaxy S2 with ICS Resurrection 1.0 ROM and realized that it is not exactly what I was looking for.
I have multiple problems with the phone - sometimes I need to reboot it few times every day as it is loosing 3g, no gps, apps force to close..
I'd love to go back to factory UK Generic Gingerbread Stock ROM. I didn't take a note of the original ROM that was there before.
There is loadz of ROMs available for download and I don't want to brick it...
Is there any way how I can actually identify which ROM is right for my phone?
By IMEI, SSN...?
Thanks a million for your help!
I've had problems with Simplistic ROM too (Email, Exchange Services and Messaging apps keep crashing), and I can't even post in the thread until I get 10 posts lol!
Think you may have to keep with stock but go for ICS, not sure if it's possible to go back to Gingerbread?

Hi there!
I'm sure I can go back to Gingerbread. The only thing is that I'm not sure about the firmware. Will any generic UK S2 ROM do the job or maybe it has to meet some hardware revision requirements?

Rooted Haipai i9220 with some questions

So I have a few rooted and overclocked devices, Samsung Vibrant, Galaxy Nexus, and Nexus 7 to name a few. I just recently rooted and confirmed my Haipai i9220 but there are two things I'm trying to figure out. It is a dual sim card and I'm currently on a tmobile3g plan. I put it in slot 1&2 and still only get edge speeds and no letter H, like in my galaxy nexus. Is one slot supposed to be 3G or are they both? Also, is something wrong with my apn settings, because I put it back in my galaxy nexus and H bar appears. Also, I'm trying to flash the 2 or 2.5gb file but I always get an error in clock work recovery. Is there any YouTube videos on how to increase the installation space? I feel a bit lost with foreign electronics. I'd like to continue to hack it and see what it's capable of. Since I'm a newbie I can't post in the proper forum until then.
I too would like some information on this, and am unable to post in the main thread due to not having sufficient post count. The main thread is also pretty big and difficult to follow.
I have rooted my device. I would now like to be able to have 2.5Gb data. I see there is a patch for this. Can this be applied to the stock rom? Or does a custom ROM need to be flashed? If a custom ROM is required first then which is the latest stable ROM with all features working?
Once I have the 2.5Gb set up I would also like to know how to back up my ROM to transfer to a new HaiPai i9220.
Anyone???

[Q] Best of both sides ?? Galaxy Note 10.1

Hi, just bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 and was going to flash CM10.1 ... but I saw somewhere that by doing so, I will lose all of Samsung-specific features like S Note, AirView, Multi Window and such ... So my question: should I flash CM10.1 or just find other ROMs which is based on stock Samsung ROM ?? Also, are there any third party apps which provides me with features like Multi-Window/AirView/S Note .... )
Thanks.:fingers-crossed:
Stock Sammy all the way for me .
Collective Edition is my current choice .

Sometimes it's best to stick with what you've got right now. I am more than happy with the "stock" experience at the moment; the only reason I've considered a flash is in hopes of being able to move my apps to the SD.
You can root your tab and get some of the advantages of custom roms while staying totally stock. Root access doesn't mean you have to go custom.

Thank you.

What are you trying to achieve? The stock based ROMs are much more stable than the CM ROMs. There's no need or use to delete things and if you delete too much you will start to cause problems.

I am not aware of any fully functional CM based or other custom ROMs for the P62xx series. The is a CM11 ROM that is a work in progress on the forum. I would install the latest stock 4.1.2 , root and then install a third party launcher , lock screen and other items to make it look the way I want. That will get you a stable, basically custom ROM. I think its unlikely that a stable CM11 will ever appear unless Samsung releases a stock 4.4 from which to build on and CM 10 is now outdated with no developers to support it.
Have you tried the development section.. There are alot of custom roms there.. PAC, Omni to name a few..
Try the Omni4.4.2 it is still in development but it works great and having KitKat on this Tablets is awesome
Guys pardon for my ignorance(im new to this upgrading/flashing thing) but how do you install custom roms?
I'm considering it an option because after i flashed my p6200 with the new jellybean rom via odin, my tablet works until it got battery drained and now stuck on "boot-loop", I've done the CWM wipe/reset data thing but still stuck in that loading screen, I also did try reflashing it with the same jelly bean firmware but still stuck.. I'm thinking installing a custom rom might make it work again..
or if you do have the old honeycomb stock rom for P6200 DXKL2 firmware that i could use via odin.

does it work for you?
I've downloaded this man.. copied it to my sdcard and then installed it through CWM recovery, now I get to the part where I had to choose stuff, like pre-installment settings like whether to choose "wipe user data" and such, and then install "samsung exclusive?" or "default install" or "remove bloatware", so there after choosing my options it then goes to this page with texts and the android robot at the background, it was so fast that I didn't even get to read what is written, i remember only "wipe?" or sort of, it goes for like a second and then restart back to the
"samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus" loading screen, it's already been a while and it's still stuck in there, I wonder if that is normal, or again like any other stock rom i've flashed with using (odin method) this is stuck and going nowhere?
help! i wanted to post this at the development thread of this certain rom, but Im not allowed due to having few posts i guess?
and by the way, could someone share a ".pit" file for the p6200, i think it might be helpful for making this tab work again, thanks!
