The reason you are having so many problems is because you are trying
to use an un-official and un-released version of Gingerbread rom v2.3.5.
(It is NOT the stock rom, if it was you would not be having problems - The STOCK rom is v2.3.4.)
All your problems can be solved easily by simply flashing the very
best full featured custom rom currently available for our phones.
Here it is, GTG's "UnNamed v1.2.0" custom rom which can be downloaded here:
unnamed-v1.2.0-full.zip it is based on the STOCK Gingerbread 2.3.4 rom.
More information and step by step easy to follow instructions can be
found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299474
P.S. The UnNamed custom rom is pre-rooted. So after flashing there is no need to root.
Be sure to follow all the step by step instructions to a "TEE" for best results.
Hi MisterJunky,
Thanks for your suggestion i fixed the gallery problem by deactivating the motion option. I have a few questions how stable is this unnamed rom and how can i backup my current rom. If i install this unnamed rom have i have to install all my applications. Awaiting for your reply. Thanks in advance.

The UnNamed is the most stable & error free rom you will find here on XDA.
You can use Titanium backup to backup & restore your apps. (only restore missing apps with data)
Your existing rom can be backed up using CWM Recovery after you flash the proper CWM compatible kernel.
First you need to flash the kernel unless you already have the CWM Recovery.
The CWM Recovery kernel needs to be flashed with Odin, it's not a zip file but instead it's TAR.
You can download the CWM Recovery TAR file here:
http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT
Then you need to download Odin, it can be found here: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT
Then download the unnamed-v1.2.0-full.zip rom and copy it to your sdcard.
After these things are done you need to flash the CWM Recovery kernel TAR file using Odin.
After its done flashing the phone will reboot to the modified CWM recovery menu which will
have the options to "Backup/Restore", "wipe data/factory reset", & "install zip from sdcard"
plus many other options. The backup/restore option is for backing up or restoring your current rom.
First select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" then when that gets done select "Install zip from sdcard"
then select the unnamed rom zipfile which you copied to your phone from your computer.
Once it's selected it will start flashing the new UnNamed rom.
When it gets done flashing select "Reboot system" from the menu.
Then you can restore missing apps using only the missing apps option in Titanium Backup.
I would suggest to simply install the missing apps one at a time. (never restore system data)
Remember that any apps you have downloaded from the market will be automatically downloaded
and installed after flashing a rom if you selected "Wipe data/factory reset" before flashing your rom.
Instructions for Odin
Power your phone off
Boot into Download-Mode by pressing & holding the VolUp+VolDown buttons
Hit Volume Up to accept the warning (if you see any)
Start Odin
Choose "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar" as PDA
Connect your usb cable from phone to computer
Be sure that COM:XX in Odin lights up yellow then start flashing.
Menu usage
Pressing Vol+, Vol- & Power button at the same time brings your Phone into CWM Recovery Mode. (The UnNamed rom has built-in shutdown options too.)
OR you can simply download the free app called "Reboot Recovery" from the market. You can use this app to reboot into recovery with one click.
VolUp + VolDn = highlight & scroll Up/Dn
Power = Toggles menus off/on
Home = Selects
Back = Go back
Good Luck!
Wifi is a known issue with the KJ2/KJ4 leaks and custom kernels.
Hi Guys,
A quick question should i have to backup my current rom before flashing unnamed rom to my device. What is the use of wipe data/ factory reset. Thanks in advance
I would say the WiFi on the 2.3.4 is not that good either.
Other phones I have had I could get my router anywhere in the house but with this phone I have to be on the same floor.
I am sure it is something that can be fixed with a custom ROM but for now I am stock.

Hi Guys,
Me again i followed the instruction as you said and rooted my sgs s2 successfully and copied the unnamed rom 1.2 full version into my sd card and rebooted in cwm but its not finding my .zip file at all now what to do let me know guys. Thanks in advance.
Hi Guys,
I found it i copied it to sd card internal instead of sd card root one found that and installed now my system is booted with the new rom Thanks for you all guys. MisterJunky, Entropy 512 and Xisruno. Thank you so much
YouTube has some really good videos showing you step by step how to do a lot of things to your phone.

(EDIT) Found this on FascinateForums.com ( Originally Posted by bhfd64 )and decided to share since I haven't found anything "as in depth". This is to go from OTA ED01 Update and reinstall ROOT and CWM 2.5.1x
I had an issue trying other ways of always returning to blue recovery, so thought this would help those with the same issue.
Downloads:
Download Samsung drivers from HERE.
Download Odin (computer program) from HERE.
Download ClockworkMod Recovery from HERE. (place this file somewhere on your computer where you can easily locate it).
Download "update.zip" file from HERE. (place this file on the root of your sdcard...not within any folders).
Download "su-2.3.6.1.x.zip" file from HERE. (place this file on the root of your sdcard...not within any folders).
Instructions:
1. Install Samsung drivers on your computer.
2. Open Odin on your computer. (You may need to disable antivirus programs for this to work properly)
3. Power off your phone and remove the battery.
4. Plug the stock USB cord which came with your phone into a powered USB port on your computer (usually on the back of the CPU).
5. Press and hold the "volume down" button on your phone, and continue to hold it while plugging the USB cord into your phone. This will put your phone into download mode. You'll see a large yellow triangle on the screen of your phone. You will also see one of the small boxes in Odin turn yellow, as well as "Added" appearing in the message box.
6. Press the PDA button in Odin (NOT the PHONE button) and navigate to the cwr-all.tar file you downloaded earlier.
7. Press START. When this process has finished, you'll be notified in Odin (succeeded 1/failed 0) and your phone screen will go blank.
8. Unplug your phone and re-insert battery.
9. Press and hold BOTH volume buttons and the power button simultaneously. Hold all three until you see "SAMSUNG" appear. This will boot your phone into recovery. If your text is red, then you're already in ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery and you can skip the rest of this step. If the recovery menu is blue, then you're in stock recovery. Use the volume rocker to navigate down to "apply sdcard:update.zip" and select using the "Home" softkey. This will take you to CWM Recovery (red text menu). If your phone does not boot into recovery here, just pull the battery or wait for it to boot up and then power it down and try this again. It may take a couple tries for you to get it right.
10. When you see the red text and "CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery 2.5.1x" at the top, use the volume rocker to navigate down to "Wipe data/factory reset." Press the power button to select, and then navigate to yes, and press the power button again to select. Do this 3 times.
11. Scroll down to "Wipe cache partition," use power button to select, and then highlight and select "Yes." Do this 3 times.
12. Scroll down to "advanced" and then select "Wipe dalvik cache." Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select. Do this 3 times.
13. Press the "Menu" softkey to return to the previous menu in CWM Recovery.
14. Navigate down to "Install zip from sdcard." Highlight it and press the power button to select.
15. Navigate to "choose zip from sdcard" and select.
16. Navigate to the rooted "su-2.3.6.1.x.zip" file that you downloaded earlier, and select it. Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select.
17. When you're advised of completion, press the "Menu" softkey to go back to the previous CWR screen, then highlight and select "reboot system now."
At this point your phone will reboot and you'll be rooted with fully bloated ED01 Froyo. Open up your app drawer. You should see an app called "SuperUser". If it's there, you're done! Now you can think about possibly moving on to a custom ROM and/or kernel.
Don't break your phone! It's not my prob if you do! Good Luck, This did work and I am going good!

Just use Super One Click to root, fast and easy.
The reason that people are getting back to stock recovery after flashing CWM is because stock recovery re-asserts itself if a custom kernel is not flashed. Whenever you Odin back to stock and flash CWM afterwards, you should ALWAYS flash a custom kernel in CWM before booting to the OS, otherwise the change in recovery won't keep.

I can tell you that I rooted stock ED01 with this method, make sure you uncheck autoboot in ODIN and restart in recovery with 3button method to confirm red recovery stuck .... im on stock ED01 kernel, but you can use any of the (TW) EC01 kernels out there . im sticking with stock until they start working out some tweaks...that's just me though

This is important information. Unfortunately none of the HOWTO threads on installing CWM mention this in the instructions and it took me hours to even become aware that this was what was happening to me. I haven't yet figured out how to remedy the problem but at least I know what it is now. Strangely I don't think I had any problem getting CWM to stick after flashing EB01 a while back.
The original instructions on FF have been updated somewhat. Among other things the wiping steps seem to not be necessary for just getting root. Here's the link. About to try this but with CWM3.

This is from original thread by Adrynalyne.
Note: Keep in mind that once you Odin CWR to ED01, you MUST also flash a kernel, or rom containing a kernel to replace the stock one, or it will revert you.
I spent days working on this issue of reverting back to stock recovery. I can tell you SSJ is absolutely correct, it is all about the kernel. Anytime you flash a stock kernel, whether it be in an ODIN package or flashing a stock kernel or a ROM that includes a stock kernel in CWM, the stock kernel will revert you back to stock blue (2e) recovery. From my experience and speaking with others, this only happens on nonvoodoo because obviously there are no stock voodoo kernels, they are all custom. You can flash the current CWM and it will stick through flashing modems in ODIN, and themes, patches, and mods in CWM. But as soon as you flash a stock kernel, you have to reflash the current CWM. So follow SSJ's advice and immediately flash a custom kernel if you are running nonvoodoo. My apologies to the OP that this is off topic from the thread. Just wanted to share the info I learned from days of previous testing.

i assume since it is rooted that you already have clockwork recovery installed.
hold power and vol down to boot into recovery
select wipe cache/factory restore
select install from zip
select the rom i showed you
reboot!
you must put the rom in the root of your tab first
use androzip to move it there

sorry but still a newbie here and i might get annoying to some peeps here but just very cautious on how this would work. so i'm going to ask question
factory restore - does this mean i'm going a clean up and unrooting my device? from the steps above? is the end product going to have the touchwiz update or is this the touchwiz update with a email sync problem? where does the touchwiz update happen? i didn't see that step above?
lastly.. is there a video i watch to see this in action.
galaxytabhacks.com is a bit slow on updating their video's on how to update a rooted GT 10.1 with touchwiz update...
thank you all for the current post and i'm sure that there are many users here that will appreciate this information.. (for all you do please post and cheer on the peeps that helped us out).

ok.. so go to clockwork recovery - i know how with that two options (icons by pressing those buttons)
make a backup - don't know how?
factory reset - i'll read up
install zip from sdcard - done it before
install - if i find it i'll select install
reboot - hopefully
so how does the backup work - any steps.. where can i find that option. thanks again for all these information..
in the main clockword recovery menu select back up and restore ...select backup
these are all in the main menu of cwr... dont worry about the wipe/factory restore just select it and do it.....make sure you put the new rom in the root of your tab first. just like you did with the root.zip when you rooted
put the new rom zip in your tab
boot into cwr
make a back up
do a wipe/factory restore
select install from zip
select choose zip
select the rom zip you downloaded and put in the root of your tab
install
reboot
this is from the first link i gave you
Here is the clockwork mod menu
- Reboot system now (self explanatory )
- Apply update from SDcard. (when you connect your device to your computer it will show up as tablet. The SDcard that cwm refers to is simply your device storage. Always make sure to copy install.zips to the root directory of your tablet storage.) You use this when applying an update for a specific ROM if that is what the ROM developer says.
- Wipe Data/ Factory Reset You should always do this before you install a new ROM or if you are having minor issues with your device.
- Wipe cache partition Think of this as the lite version of whats above . If you do above though it doesn't hurt to do this too.
- Install zip from SDcard Use this to install new ROMs.
- Back up and Restore
- Mounts and Storage use this to connect your device to your computer when in recovery mode. It is also possible to transfer files to your device while in this mode.
- Advanced What you are interested in here is something called dalvik cache, you want to wipe this too before installing any new ROM
- Power off
this is the main menu of clockwork recovery
backupand restore...wipedata/factory reset...install zip reboot are all on this menu

Alright so I am currently on the most current MIUI with CM7 kernel on my vibrant but I want to replace this rom with simply stock JVT 2.3.5. But when I try flashing it I get a bootloop. I looked it up and apperently I need either the talon or bullet kernal but preferably bullet. So how exactly Do i do this? I won't pretend I know what I'm talking about because I don't :x so please be as precise as you possibly can with the steps. Please, I'm easily confused :x
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
You have to ODIN back to stock as CM7 & MIUI use a different partitioning than Regular Gingerbread or Froyo.
So..
ODIN back to stock, root, flash custom recovery, flash rom, bam.
Plus if needed here is a guide to go back on going back to stock eclair... http://rootzwiki.com/topic/605-guid...nja-apps-everything/page__p__11106#entry11106
OK but here's the thing... I didn't root my phone the first time so I don't know how to reroot it and I remember the Instructions for simply stock said if I am installing from an eclair or froyo rom I have to use the small version, then medium version and finally full version... but there is only 1 file soooo.. again I'm lost x.x

1) Odin to stock(make sure you take out your sim card and you micro sd card)
2) root
3) install rom manager from market
4) install CWM from rom manager
5) wipe factory reset/cache from CWM
6) flash simple jvt rom
GOOD LUCK
Not quite sure what you mean by small version, medium version, and full version. But if you need help getting you phone rooted after returning to stock then follow these instructions straight from the noob guide posted by s15274n...
GREAT, I AM ON JFD NOW - HOW DO I ROOT?
You are likely still connected to your PC and booted up to the T-Mobile jingle. Great, drop the notification bar down and mount your phone...
HERE ARE THE STEPS TO FOLLOW....
BUT FIRST... WHAT UPDATE.ZIP FILE DO YOU NEED?
There are two options here. Choose before you start.
A – an update.zip (633KB) that roots your phone only. You can then install Rom Manager from the Market to flash CWR (Clockwork Recovery) and install custom ROMs. There have been issues with CWR not flashing properly recently (June 2011), hence Option B.
B – use the other update.zip (1.7MB) and this will flash CWR for you – allowing you to immediately flash a custom ROM.. I do this because it's faster.
So, A or B?
1.
A: Download this update.zip file to root your phone. You plan to install Rom Manager to flash CWR and a new ROM later.
B: Download this update.zip file to flash CWR... you will need to flash a custom ROM for Root. I prefer this method.
Also, download the ROM you plan to flash (assuming you are not sticking on JFD – why would you).
LINK TO THE DEV SECTION
2. Copy the update.zip (and the ROM) to the INTERNAL SD (not the external SD Card). sdcard/
3. Unplug the USB (assuming you are still connected after using ODIN)...
Hold down volume up + volume down + Power for about 9 seconds.
If you prefer, you can power off your phone, then hold in all 3 buttons to boot into recovery, I don't see the point in waiting for the phone to power off.
This will get you to a recovery menu (blue/purple text) after some yellow text.
4. In this (the stock recovery menu) select 'Reinstall Packages'
Use volume to navigate + power to select.
5. It will cycle a bit, you will see that yellow text again, then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again.
You are now in CWR (clockwork recovery).
You can either reboot, flash your new ROM or make a backup now... I COVER HOW TO FLASH ROMS LATER – JUST KEEP READIN BELOW
Yeah, it is that easy!!

Also, once you're on stock and rooted just flash the rom like normal...
1) Boot into recovery (Volumes + Power)
2) Do a factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik (in Advanced Menu)
3) Then go to "install zip from sd card" > "choose zip from sd card" > Select the rom.
4) Reboot and you should be good to go.

This is the "small" - http://www.multiupload.com/KP8HBPR20Z
This is the "medium" - http://www.multiupload.com/H2SEQVI9AO
This is the "Large" - http://www.multiupload.com/WWYGBJAS10
****Both "medium" & "large" are basically the same one with more apps and such than the other****

- Flash the "small" first
- Choose either "medium" OR "large" and flash
- Finish with Simply Stock flash
Of course do the normal clearing of settings and allow time for ROM to settle between flashes.
Good luck!
The small/medium basically is the old school of aquiring gb bootload. If you wanna go there, the dev sec has odin flashable backward compatible boots. there safer but i never trusted gb. bootload bricks a permenant.
Hi,
I have a samsung vibrant T959 with Eclair 2.1 in it. I haven't updated my OS yet , but rooted it using one click. Then to update my OS to Cynogen, I downloaded ROM manager (not premium as it doesnt support 2.1 ver). Then I tried to backup my current ROM using the option Backup Current ROM,but it just goes to recovery mode and has the option to reboot , delete casche etc. Then i just select the reboot option, nothing happens.. What is the problem? What more needs to be done. Is this problem due to the oldy 2.1 eclair I have? Please help. I m dying to update the OS..
Heres how to make a nandroid backup... Boot into recovery and go down and select something called "Backups & Restore" then go abd make a "Backup".
As a reference here's my guide to flash CyanogenMod 7/Miui... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307637
Sent from my SGH-T959 (Samsung Vibrant)
Your guide doesnt mention anything about Rom manager at all. I have gone through a lot of guides and it mentions as :
1) Root it ( which i have done)
2) Titatanium backup (for apps backup ..done)
3) Install Rom manager (done)
4) Update to latest clockwork (clicked the first button and updated)
5)Backup current Rom .. I am stuck here.. as when i click it , it pops out a textbox for name of the backup.. then i set it.. then it reboots ... nothing is backed up.. Can anybody help me in this process??? Please..
OK, although I prefer making a nandroid backup by these steps...
1). Booting into recovery.
2). Go to backup and restore.
3). Then select backup.
...If you really want to do it through Rom Manager then you can try these steps and tell me how they work for you. Since it appears that your recovery may be messed up...
1). Load up Rom Manager.
2). Go into Settings.
3). Go down the menu and check off Erase Recovery.
4). In the Rom Manager main menu select Flash Alternative Recovery.
5). After that Flash ClockworkMod Recovery again, that first button.
6). Reboot.
7.) Try making a backup again.
...Lastly, Rom Manager isn't necessary to flash a rom or to make a backup of your current rom. The backup feature in the CWR menu does the exact same thing just to make that clear. Now when it comes to flashing Miui/CM7, I again refer you to my guide if you get stuck...
Hope everything works out for you & welcome to xda-developers!
I didnt find the options you mentioned for ROM manager. So I am going for Nandroid backup.
I needed to confirm on the following steps:
1) I m skipping steps 2 and 3 ( FLASH BACK TO STOCK (2.1 Eclair) and Download mode)
2) I downloaded your 2.3.9 MIUI link and ODIN .
3) Do I need to follow step 6 abt Get CWR ? Overstock Kernel ? Is it that only after installing this , I would be able to make a bakup of current ROM? I have already flashed clockworkmod recovery which shows 2.5.1.2 in ROM manager. So i though this step would not be necessary.
And when i tried to go to recovery mode, there were only the same four options ,
a)reboot b)reinstall packages c)delete cache etc.. So i googled for this problem and i saw in xda wiki which said to select reinsall packages. So is it correct?? I really dont want my phone to brick... So i may be questioning too much..

This is stock recovery. If you are using Rom Manager, make sure it is installed correctly. There is a link in my signature that you can download the custom recovery. Download it, put it on ther insteranl sd card and label it update.zip Make sure it is the only thing labeled that.
Boot into recovery, scroll down to Reinstall Packages and hit it. It will cycle through. Scroll down to Reinstall Packages again and hit it again. It will cycle through again and your stock (blue) recovery will change to custom (green) recovery. From here you can flash your ROM.
Before you go further and we explain something that is not needed, what ROM are you trying to flash?
I have been trying to flash MIUI.us_vibrantmtd_2.3.9_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed.zip. Currently I have eclair in my vibrant
Ok i downloaded update.zip, clockwork mod from your signature.. I put it in SD card. Clicked reinstall two times and now I have in green color mode.
1) Here again, theres a option for apply sdcard:update.zip.. do i need this?? I dont need to select it right?
Now I need to
Please confirm the steps below to flash
First i should select backup and restore then after the backup is done , i need to follow the steps below.
1)wipe cache partition
2)advanced- wipe dalvik cache
3)wipe data factory reset
4)install zip from sdcard
Am I correct?
Ok then. It should work for you hopefully.
BTW make sure you are flashing a Vibrant ROM. Iknow it says Vibrantmtd in the .zip but just make sure (there are different versions of the Vibrant out there-ATT [Captivate], TMo [Vibrant model # SGH-T959], Verizon [Fascinate], TMo4g [Vibrant 4g model # SGH-T959v]). I did a quick search and I could not find a 2.3.9 ROM in the dev section. I don't use MIUI so I may not be looking in the right place.
If your recovery goes from blue to green then you should be able to start at Step 7 in N00b_IN_N33D's guide. Good luck and happy flashing.

Yes but check your ROM OP to make sure.
My model is Vibrant model # SGH-T959 .. how do i know if the 2.3.9 supports mine or not.. Couldnt find any info in google (I m too eager to update my OS so not googling much )
My backup is complete and I am about to follow the other steps. So when i install the zip file, if I get any errors, I can always restore my previous ROM .. right?
Yes you can always restore your back up, although not sure why you would want to restore 2.1 stock eclair since you know how to Odin back to stock anyways.
Again, since I do not use MIUI, I am unsure about what ROMs there are and like i said, I just used the simple search bar and couldn't find anything 2.3.9 in our forums. I can suggest anything from 360 productions, as they are supported well and the Devs are on here a fair amount of time.
Maybe before you get flash-fantastic, you should think about what you want out of your ROM and then read some of the OPs. There are plenty of 2.2s with everything working, a fair amount of 2.3.Xs with all the theming that comes with MIUI but also battery drain and memory leaks. And then there are 6+ flavors of ICS (4.0.3) ROMs that you can choose from (I have a guide on installing these if you need it).
OPs on all will tell you what works and doesn't and also the features of that ROM. If you really want MIUI, I suggest you PM N00B_IN_N33D and get his input.
Installation is complete , kinda seems a bit slow.. but what amuses me is I did not have to do the following steps mentioned by noob :
It should start flashing and then enter a bootloop (Vibrant [Splash Screen] > Galaxy S Cyanogen(MOD) > CWR > Repeat). After it does this loop a few times do a battery pull.
Reboot into recovery, which will now be blue (Hold both volume buttons and power. Release power once the Vibrant logo is up).
Go to “install zip from sd card”, select zip from sd... Go and find the MIUI ROM you put on the sd card and flash it again.
This time it should successively install.
Go to "advanced", and select "Fix Permissions". Once it has finished fixing permissions go down and hit "++Go Back++"
Reboot your device.
Do not touch the phone for 5-10 minutes after it has booted... Do Absolutely Nothing! This helps clear any possible bugs.
Is it required??
And then there are 6+ flavors of ICS (4.0.3) ROMs that you can choose from (I have a guide on installing these if you need it).
could you provide me the links to it. Thanks

I assume you are talking about this. It is not required but is always a good idea to do. It lets the ROM settle down and any RAM tweaks initiated, different system scripts to finish running,... What is 5-10 minutes if it will save you all kinds of trouble in the future.

Sure. You can go here and read all about them. Note that some of these are advanced, experimental, Beta/RC status. So you will want to read them and do some searches before you ask your questions b/c you'll get flamed for sure if you don't.
Hi everybody. I'm from Italy.
I open this thread because i can't post in correct zone of this forum.
I havo some question about the rom HD revolution.
Is compatible with every original firmware installed?
The step to flash are:
Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card
Download "Super Wipe" script & place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)
Flash boot.img from the downloads section
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol up + home + power)
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of "Super Wipe" script
Once again select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
They're correct with new phone?

Samsung needs no boot.img only htc.
Just place the HD rom and the superwipe script on your external sd card. Flash superwipe script and than the hd rom. Done.
So, i din't need "root" privileges?
The recovery mode is accessibly with default rom and no previously mod?
This firmware, if i understand, is full, so there's no problem abount language and version of original firmware installed?
This firmware has italian language?
You need to have clockwork recovery to install the custom rom.
Just flash the correct CF rooting via odin and you will have everything you need. Thankfully Samsung don't do ****ty semi-unlocked bootloaders, which means once you're rooted you can pretty much do everything directly via your phone

Ok, i hope that my english is undestand Is not perfect but i undestand your messages
So, the first passage is installing clockwork recovery (via odin?) and after this reboot phone in recovery mode and install superwipe and ROM that i previously copy in memory card?

Download the rom again. I've had this problem because of bad downloads. Without even noticing my laptop didn't ended downloading the files but show then as completed. but when I looked they where 195Mb and they were supposed to be of 225Mb (just an example). Maybe this is your issue

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I have tried downloading couple of times and the file size is 702 MB. All times it comes exactly the same size as it should be. However, the problem still persists. I have decided to go back to stock ROM till i can figure what is exactly the problem
