I have SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE S5830i and installed MindCr Rom v2.4. I wonder if i install another custom rom without flashing back the original stock rom will it work? I had done this before and it causing bootloop problem. Is there other way to do this?
Nope. Backing to stock ROM is important for CM-based custom ROM's. If it's a stock-based ROM, you can install over it but it MUST be a stock-based ROM too. CM7.2-based ROM's need Bieltv.3's kernel flashed via CWM and CM11 needs a MTD-compatible CWM (6.0.5.3 is the only one that works.)

Hello,
Yesterday I got my SGSII. It's my third Android phone and I'm not new in flashing custom ROMs, although I'm really confused how things work between kernels and custom ROMs here. I got stock ICS 4.0.4 onboard (XWLPW). For now, I flashed Syiah v5.0.1 kernel (which is for ICS) with Odin, so I got root and CWM6. I want to install NeatRom 4.4, which is JB 4.1.2 based. So can I just flash it on top of Syiah v5, or should I flash v6 first and then flash the ROM? Or maybe flash the ROM and kernel v6 before leaving recovery mode?
Sorry for this question, but I really couldn't find the answer, have been searching for it for some hours...
Thanks in advance!
you can flash both files while you're on recovery mode under siyah v5 but you gotta flash the Neatrom zip file first before flashing siyah v6 otherwise you'll only have a stock kernel.
Be aware that you have to do a full wipe before flashing them (which means you have to backup your files) if you don't wanna have bugs.
Hi,
Dudes I know some advantages of custom recoveries over stock recovery. It gives u freedom to flash any custom zip. I have a doubt, what if a stock software update zip is flashed with custom recoveries?. Can it be successfully flashed ??? If not, then what error will be thrown ???
Hello,
a friend owns a nonrooted SG2 with GB 2.3.6 on it.
Now its time to update to a Sammy based custom Rom like Biftor-Rom v14, which is based on XWMS1.
So I will flash PhilZ XWMS! Kernel via Odin on this phone.
After recovery reboot I'd flash the Biftor Rom from PhilZ Kernel.
Will that work?
Or are there other recommendations?
Yes it will work
Upgrading from a lower stock rom to higher one doesnt requires wiping data...
I would like to flash a custom ROM on my Starmobile Knight running on 4.2 jellybean. It's already noted and just wanted to have a compatible custom ROM for my phone..thanks
Hello guys,
Need help for a custom rom compatible with my device. It runs on MediaTek's MT6580, i already flash TWRP v3.0.2 but have not rooted it yet since I need to flash a custom rom, my reason is to remove bloatware and solve my flickering screen. I understand that i by running on custom rom, I would be able to stop my screens from flickering. I would like to install CM13.1 or Lineage OS but I want to ask some experts here first if there's much better ROM that I can use from your recommendations.
Thanks,
Another inquiry regarding porting custom rom, I found some roms dedicated for MT MK6850 devices i flashed it directly to my phone (stock rom) but I get an error 7, my question is do I need to port it to my device? If so, I understand that you need a custom rom compatible for my device as Base and the custom rom I want as port, how to do it if i am from a stock rom?
Thanks,
