Flashing New Rom (Solved)

Hey guys, I am having trouble flashing a new rom onto my phone. I used to flash my Galaxy S3 almost every day, and for some reason, I am having trouble with the S4. I have rooted it, and installed Team Win Recovery Project v2.5.0.2 and sometimes the Rom will flash and work, like PA worked first time, so did MIUI Rom, but trying Most of the others they either say failed, or... they go through the whole installation process through the Recovery for Android Revolution HD, and then it boot loops, take battery out, put back in and wipe everything and it just stays on the first Samsung Logo and that's it.
Is there something I am missing?
I am wiping eveyrthing as well before I do it.
Any help will be really appretiated
Thanks

My bad lol, in work and was typing fast.
Basically, when I flashed ParanoidAndroid on my phone, and it worked great, then I changed it to MIUI which worked great,
then I decided to Flash Omega Rom, which was fine, but the WIFI doesn't work for me.
So I tried to Flash Android Revolution and it goes through the Installation Process with no problems and goes into Boot Loop, even though I have done a full wipe of the device.
I am in the middle of Flashing Android Revolution now, for the 3rd time, and it has been on 10% installation for 10 minutes. This is all it says at the moment...

Sorted, thanks anyway.
Just incase someone else is in the same situation,
All I did was take the battery out for 30 minutes or around that time, and just flash the rom, I didn't wipe or anything else, just flashed and done.
For people having Wifi issues, flash a different Kernel like Adam Kernel, that seems to work for me.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510 CM 10.1 results

General Update
My Gtab was feeling old and sluggish and hadn't seen an update for a while and I had stopped using it. Also I have just received a Nexus 4 running android 4.3 which is a fantastic device.
I have applied a nightly release of CyanogenMod 10.1 (4.2.2). The process had some issues for me as the Google Apps package didn't seem to apply correctly however I was able update Play and then all of the google applications after the reboot and everything is there. The tablet now has a new lease on life.
It has only been 24 hours so if there are any issues I will post back.

I agree, it makes my P7510 seem like a new tablet.

Can you help a newbie out? My tablet has 4.04 and it's so sluggish and crashing all the time. How do I go about getting and installing CyanogenMod 10.1 (4.2.2)? And if I do that, will I retain all my apps?
Thank so much in advance.

Go to the development section and you will see an official thread there for Pershoot's CM 10.1 JB 4.2.2 moderated by Nakedninja. You will need a different gapps as the ones for 4.0.4 are not compatible with 4.2.2. However, the required gapps are also available on the same thread, as well as the CWM recovery that you will need for the installation. All the instructions for flashing correctly are also there, just ensure you read before the actual flashing.

WiFi Issues
I installed CM 10.1 for my GT-N8013, which went successfully enough, but now my wifi won't connect to anything. It sees wifi connections and attempts to connect, but always times out. I even tried turning off WPA security and it still won't make a connection. Any thoughts?

GT-N8013 is Galaxy note, whilst this is a galaxy tab p7500 forum.
Anyway, have you did a full wipe after installing CM10.1 ?

Take a look here and download the gapps you need to your tab...
I assume you have either CWM or TWRP installed as your custom recovery, since you will need a custom recovery to install the zip-file. If not, take a look here.
- Boot into your custom recovery
- Install ZIP (choose the gapps zip-file you just downloaded)
- reboot system

[Q] samsung allshare cast dongle connection problems

I am trying to connect my At&t S4 to a Samsung Allshare hub for screen mirroring but it fails every time. I have tried a clean install with v38 of Goldeneye and did not flash any mods or change anything with the same end result. I did have it working throughout my use of several versions of Goldeneye but didint notice when i lost the functionality. Does anyone know of anything i can try to fix the probelm? Does anyone have it working on the goldeneye rom? Would appreciate ANY help as this one feature is all im missing because the Goldeneye rom is amazing!!

I came across that information too but i also found that other people with root were able to get it to work. It works with my brothers s4 and his is rooted but not running the same rom and his is for tmobile and mine is for at&t. I asked in the Goldeneye forum if anyone running the same rom was have the same issue but no response. Would appreciate any input, help or ideas. I have tried reflashing the rom several times and wiping several times.

I don't know if this help, but I have note 10.1 and had same problem as long as I had not stock kernel.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Premium HD app

Tried two roms, getting the 'com.android.phone' has stopped responding (immediately)

I've tried Paranoid Android 4.6 and CM 11, both with the same result.
I could not get any custom bootloader to install, aside from safestrap. This seems to be on there ok now, and I can install PA or CM roms from my sd card.
When they are finished installing though (along with Gapps), when it boots into the OS I instantly get the popup telling me the process com.android.phone has stopped. I hit ok and it comes back immediately, no matter how many times I hit it. I can't get into the menus or setup screens, the popup comes back instantly.
Since PA and CM both did this same thing, I am guessing my problem is perhaps not the rom. Any ideas please on what I might try next? The phone is basically bricked at this point.

Yea, you can't flash cm or pa on your device. They can only be flashed on devices with the mdb or mdl bootloader. If you're using safestrap, and it's the only recovery you can use, you're probably on 4.4.4, nb1 or nc1 or nj4, bootloader. You'll need tw based roms. See the ones that work with safestrap.

Thank you,
I flashed to NJ4 after rooting. Could you recommend any custom rom that is tw based please, or am I basically limited to stock?
I tried flashing a new TW rom but now I'm stuck in a recovery mode bootloop (safestrap seems to be gone).
edit: tw = touchwiz? (Sorry, I'm new at this).
Really appreciate the explanation, thanks again.

Your stuck to 4.4.4 unless you do the method mentioned on the forums and GoldenEye comments.
But a caution its not for the new, is risky and you lose the safestrap recovery boot because safestrap is not lollipop compatible right now.

Got it. Thank you.
I finally found a 'stock' firmware that I managed to load via Odin. Looks like AT&T just pushed the lollopop update to my phone as well so I guess stock lollipop will work for me until I upgrade my phone.
Out of interest, I'm looking at the oneplus one phone. Am I correct in thinking I should have way less problems trying to root & install custom roms on that, since it comes loaded with CM and the carrier isn't going to be constantly fixing exploits that allow root?
Really appreciate the help guys, thanks again.

I don't own it so I couldn't tell you but I would look up the forum for it before hand and see what they say about it.
If it's not an ATT and Verizon phone most likely it's not boot loader locked.

Oneplus you will be able to root and recovery, I believe even unlock the bootloader. You just have to pay full price of the phone of course, but it's separate from carrier so no root patching OTAs.

Awesome. Thank you so much guys. I think I'm going to try out the oneplus one. Sounds like it'll be a lot more straightforward than with AT&T's devices.

cant updgrade to 7.0 from 6.xx

hey guys long time lurker, recently my s7 edge crashed, after using default rom, i decided i wanted a custom rom anyway and picked one, installed it correctly everything was working fine for about 2 weeks. crashed, started constant boot loops, so i reinstalled the rom as before, and still constant boot loops.
then i found official roms and put them on instead, anything 7+ didnt work, but when i put on 6.xx it would work, but using samsungs inbuilt to upgrade it would begin to bootloop again.
any help appreciated!

Did you try flashing 7.0 rom with the same baseband version of your phone?

Tried many of the available roms. Found one that is working and I will stick with it for now. Still would like to figure out what I did wrong though, and why I can't flash stock 7.xx
