[TUT] Flashing your first A500 custom ROM

Well, flashing a custom ROM on our beloved Iconias became quite easy now thanks to developers on xda. Most of you are quite familiar with the procedure but there are still people that ask basic things all over the ROM developement threads. This is just a beginner's guide, an attempt to collect all the procedures and tools in one thread. Nothing of this is my work and I would like to say THANK YOU to sc2k, thor2002ro, Euclid's Brother, Chainfire, monki-magic, drellisdee, ezterry, Skrilax_CZ, gersma and all A500 developers for making this possible.
You will need the following: external SD card, root rights, unlocked bootloader (if you're on stock ICS), custom recovery and a custom ROM of your choice.
Well lets start by placing an SD card in the SD card expansion slot. Its file system should be FAT32!
*This is optional: To be sure it is recognized later in CWM, format it first with SD Formatter - a tool that can be downloaded from here. Use your home computer / notebook with a card reader for this procedure. Alternatively you can do this using an ANDROID phone.
1.ROOT
Root for Honeycomb 3.0.1 by monki-magic
original thread by Slowie911 here
1. Make sure usb debugging is turned on and unknown sources is selected in Applications settings.
2. Have a micro sd card inserted and turn the tablet on portrait mode and lock it with the switch to fix it in portrait.
3. Download and execute the attached apk. (i had to download from my comp and transfer to the tablet for it to work).
4. Once the apk is installed run the root procedure within the app which was installed
5. Wait and you will receive full root access.
Download Gingerbreak 1.20
Root for Honeycomb 3.1 by sc2k thread here
1. Goto Settings->Applications and enable "Unkown sources"
2. Download the attached APK file
3. Copy the file to your Iconia
4. Install the APK & start the tool
5. Click "root"
6. Enjoy
/IconiaRoot should work on both 3.0.x and 3.1/
Download Iconiaroot 1.3
Root for Honeycomb 3.2.x OTA
Unfortunately there's no dedicated rooting app yet developed for HC3.2. It also comes with a new bootloader. In order to get root you need to revert to an older version of Honeycomb first where Iconiaroot works. How to do that is explained in details in this thread
UPDATE: if you're on OTA HC 3.2.x then you can just update to ICS and use the method for rooting ICS - links posted below
Root for ICS 4.x.x OTA
Stock ICS Leak One-Click Root Tool by blackthund3r
or
Full root for A500 ICS 4.0.3 - Simple method, posted by ZeroNull
2. Bootloader
Since there are many new ICS custom ROMs and custom recoveries, please read in their dedicated threads if they require ICS bootloader. Some of the ROMs can recognize the version of your bootloader and load the proper boot.img during boot. In general - if you're on Honeycomb - you have HC bootloader. If you've updated OTA to ICS, then you have stock ICS bootloader, that is unusable for flashing custom ROMs and therefore you need the unlocked bootloader. A guide on how to install it read here - thanks civato. This thread links to a nice little piece of software (option 1) by gersma that can automatically do all the job for you - install ICS unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. Read and download here - AfterOTA by gersma
3.Custom recovery
original thread with clockworkmod recovery by thor2002ro here
1. Open Market app with your tablet and search for Acer Recovery Installer.
Acer recovery installer
2. Install it and then open it. It has ClockworkMod Recovery by thor2002ro rev1.3.4 built-in.
3. Select "ClockworkMod Recovery rev.1.3.4 by thor2002ro". Tap on install Recovery Image. A popup offering to backup current recovery image will appear. Surely, buckup! Thus you can restore your original recovery image in case of need. Then CWM will be installed. Once it is installed you can remove Acer Recovery Installer tool from your system if you want.
thor2002ro updated CWM to 1.7.3. You can download the zip from tegraowners.com. Later versions of his recovery does not meet GPL because of the "mini" kernel of his - sources not being released. It supports flashing both from internal memory and the external SD card. In order to update your CWM to this latest version, place the downloaded ZIP on your external sd card and update from your CWM by choosing install zip from sd card. Alternatively you can extract the recovery.img from the zip, place it on your external sd card and install it through Acer Recovery Installer by choosing Custom or Stock recovery.img from micro sdcard.

RA Revamped for Iconia
TeamWin Recovery Project (twrp) - needs ICS bootloader
A500 Public Recovery
Since the creation of AfterOTA by gersma, you can use his software to install both the bootloader and CWM before flashing the ROM. Get it HERE
4. Flashing custom ROM
Download the ROM of your choice which should be a zip file. Place the zip on your EXTERNAL SD card. Power off your device. Now hold volume down and power buttons together until you see text appearing on the top left corner of the screen - you can release both buttons now. Wait until CWM loads. Volume keys (Up and Down) are used to navigate the CWM menu. Power button is uded as "Enter" i.e. to proceed with your selection. Before going on to install your ROM do a full backup of your system first. Navigate to "backup and restore" and then select Full Backup. Wait untill the operation completes.
Now do the following:
Wipe menu:
- wipe data/factory reset -> navigate to "Yes - delete all user data"
this should format you data partition and cache partition (dalvik cache is gone as well)
Mounts and storage menu
- Format System
this should format your system partition
The above commands are presented in thor's CWM. There are slightly different menus and sub-menus in the other custom recoveries but if you dig a little you'll find that they do the same things and you'll get the idea of what you're doing.
Now you're ready to install your ROM. Get back to the main CWM menu and select
- Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard.
Navigate to your zip on the SD card and install it - choose "Yes" again to install. Wait untill installation is complete, return to the main CWM menu and choose "reboot system now".
You're done, enjoy your first custom ROM. Take time for its initial configuration.
5. Flashing custom KERNEL
Flashing custom kernel is as same as custom ROM. You place the zip (Kernels come in zip files as well) on your external SD card and:
- Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard.
It is recommended before flashing a new kernel to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache. And of course first you flash the ROM and then the desired Kernel
6. UNBRICKING by flashing a stock ROM
thanks to vache we have full packages shared in his topic
vache said:
Once the desired file downloaded, you have to use Acer Update Decryter by thor2002ro to decrypt them.
After decrypting the file, you have to extract the update.zip from it, put it on an external SDCard (does not work on internal memory) and boot your tablet with Vol- & Power. The update will launch automatically.

p.s. Feel free to add stuff to this tutorial - video, pistures or anything you find useful or to correct me if I've made a mistake.

This is fantastic. Thank you. I have had my iconia for a month now and been looking at flashing a custom rom but kept backing out. Just a couple of questions for clarification:
(1). Does wiping data erase the internal sd?
(2). If by some stroke of bad luck a flash is unsuccessful and a boot loop or similar occurs, am I right in my understanding that you can just go straight back into recovery and re-flash?
(3). What are the chances of bricking the tablet?
Sorry for noon questions, please just wanna certain because my gf bought me this tablet under the condition I don't do anything risky like on my x10 that I flash almost daily haha
Thanks for replies

1. No, it doesn't.
2. Yes. You can do that. There's another option in mounts and storage -> format system - that will format even your system partition and leave your device bare with no ROM files on it. That would be a really clean install I guess
EDIT: I just saw that system is formatted during ROM installation. So no need to do that
3. Always read first what option you've selected and be sure you understand what it does. If you have CWM successfully installed, you have a powerfull tool to restore reflash, wipe, format etc. I've flashed my HD2 hundreds of times and now my Iconia is on the run Never ever had a boot failiure.

VERY good information here. Thank you very much for taking the time.
I've flashed ROMS on my last two "chinatabs" but haven't gotten into it with my A500 yet. (To be frank, I'm still thrilled with the prospect of OTA updates from a manufacturer after my last experiences.)
It looks like the process is very similar to my Rena3 tablet.

Thank you, that lays it out all nice and precise for us all. Like strider_mt2k, I have been holdng off on the custom ROMs, because my first tablet was a Gtab, and while it became a pretty awesome tablet, it had to be flashed with a custom ROM to be really usable. The OTA thing was holding me back. But I think that I may try to flash the thing this weekend if I get the chance.

Thanks. Glad it could be of use.

nice tutorial dude! thanks!!
could you please make another tutorial to return back to stock?
specially to return back to stock te kernel.
thanks!!!

As mentioned, best case is if you've backed up your device before flashing any ROM or Kernel. Thus you can restore to your country specific version.
Otherwise its pretty simple - its just like flashing any other ROM following the steps described.

I am new in this with flashing and that kind of stuff.
Now is my question, how is it with updates from acer?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Could you be more specific?

if i put a custom rom on the device could i still use the build in update program of acer?

Unfortunately I can not tell you for sure. I haven't tried all of the custom ROMs but in most cases - no you won't be able. I've tried Tabooney, Honeyvillain, Virtuous Picasso, Virtuous Galaxy. ROM developers usually update their ROMs to the latest base available. I think it depends on many things - base, kernel, stock apps removed etc.
Maybe someone who have succeeded with custom ROM updating would share his experience.

Can anyone tell me if there is a version of ROM manager that supports the version of CWM that there is for the Iconia. I would love to be able to simplify my ability to backup my ROM's before flashing.

You can install a clockworkmod for Iconia no matter of the version of ROM manager. But it is much much easier to use Acer Recovery Installer. I recommend you using it instead of playing with recovery img files. It is a one time procedure after all
Anyway - here's what you need to do if you don't want to use Acer recovery installer, or you don't want to use ADB:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-3-using-rom-manager/
instead of CWM 3.x you will need to get CWM from thor2002ro In this guide you substitute the recovery that ROM Manager is about to flash with thor's CWM. I haven't tried this method myself but it should work.
With Acer Recovery Installer you can flash custom recovery as well. As long as you have it in IMG format you can be flashed from within the app - "install custom or stock recovery image from sd card".

great thread.
thanks!!!

Great Tutorial!!!
Just a couple of doubts:
First question: Backup files.
3. Flashing custom ROM
"...Before going on to install your ROM do a full backup of your system first. Navigate to "backup and restore" and then select Full Backup. Wait untill the operation completes. "
Where do the backup files go in the system? On internal or external SD card? Is it an *.img file extension?
Should i move it to my computer to keep it save, or just leave it where ever they are?
Second question: Kernel.
4. Flashing custom KERNEL
"Flashing custom kernel is as same as custom ROM. You place the zip (Kernels come in zip files as well) on your external SD card and:
- Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard.
It is recommended before flashing a new kernel to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache. And of course first you flash the ROM and then the desired Kernel"
I am on Stock 3.1 ROM with original Kernel, if i want to try Virtuos Picasso, do i have to flash a new Kernel? And if yes, shouldn't i do it before flashing the ROM? Or just flash the ROM and then the Kernel? What happens if i just flash the Rom and use the stock kernel?
Thank you..

Your backup goes to your external SD card in a folder named clockworkmod\backup\2011-XX-XX.HH.MM.SS
As you can guess the name of the backup corresponds to the time it is created. This backup can be used to restore your system through CWM in case of need.
CWM does not backup /data/media folder. Additionally: you should also delete .android_secure.img from your backup set or a full restore will fail before it restores flexrom.
The last is an issue described by Euclid's brother:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16467191&postcount=3
I am on Stock 3.1 ROM with original Kernel, if i want to try Virtuos Picasso, do i have to flash a new Kernel?
Click to expand...

No, of course! Your custom ROM (Virtuous Picasso in your example) and any ROM comes with its Kernel. Its up to you to decide wheather to change it or not after that by flashing another Kernel. Follow every Kernel developer's notes for ROM compatibility. So, that answers the last part of your question - you cannot flash Virtuous Picasso and still think you're on stock kernel

Oh, i see...i thought that the flashing ROM procedure of a custom ROM, would just flash the ROM and not the Kernel...so in this case i just have to choose the ROM that i want to flash and do not have to pay attention about the Kernel compatibility...unless i flash a Kernel only. Right?
Thank you very much!!

That is correct

[GUIDE] Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 OR 7.0 Rooting/CWM/Restoring To Stock

WARNING: Using sections A, B or E will increase your flash counter and thus void your warranty.
NOTE: This device is almost unbrickable so long as you don't mess around with bootloaders, so if something goes wrong post in the Q&A section and we'll help you fix it.
MODEL NUMBER KEY:before you use this guide, you must find your model number.
First digit: 5 for tab 10.1, 3 for tab 7.0
Final three digits: 100 for 3g, 110 for wifi international, 113 for wifi American
SECTIONS:
A. Root stock ICS or JB
B. Install a JB-based ROM
C. Install a ICS-based ROM
D. Install a kernel
E. Restore to stock
F. Flash a file with Mobile ODIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Root stock ICS or JB
This should root any gtab2 10.1 or 7.0 model running ICS or JB. It will not wipe any data.
1. Download and install if you don't already have them:
SAMSUNG KIES
Odin v1.83
2. Download the correct ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) for your device according to model number:
CWM6 for p5100
CWM6 for p5110
CWM6 for p5113
CWM6 for p3100
CWM6 for p3110 and p3113
3. Put the SuperSU installer zip on your MicroSD card or internal storage.

Note: for more language options and versions of stock ROM's for the tab 10, go here.
1. Download the stock firmware matching your carrier/region for your device from the correct link above. This will take a long time. When it's finished, unzip or unrar it.
2. If and only if your device is currently bricked and hasn't been fixed by other stock restore attempts, AND your ROM includes a .pit file, click PIT and open the .pit file you downloaded, and check Re-Partition in ODIN. Skip to step 4.
3. Reboot into recovery and select wipe data/factory reset.
4. Reboot into Download Mode.
5. click PDA and find the stock file (PDA/PLATFORM file, the largest one).
6. OPTIONAL: if you want to flash the bootloader and/or csc, you can select them as well. If you don't know what that means, you don't need to do it.
7. Click Start.
8. Try to boot the tablet. If it hangs, do not panic, just repeat step 2.
9. Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F. Flash a file with Mobile ODIN
Using Mobile ODIN is recommended for advanced users only. You must have root.
Using Mobile ODIN will NOT increase your flash counter, and therefore your warranty will remain intact.
1. Extract or copy the file you want to flash to your tablet. If you're flashing a ROM, you only want the PLATFORM/PDA file (.tar.md5) (almost always the largest file)
NOTE: There are no .pit files in Mobile ODIN. They are installed along with your flashkernel.
2. Download either Mobile ODIN pro ($5) OR Mobile ODIN lite (does not include EverRoot, so you will need to re-root using ODIN) and the p51xx FlashKernel from here.
3. Click on Open File... in Mobile ODIN and find the file you want to flash.
4. If you're flashing a ROM, click Recovery and click clear on the window that pops up.
5. If applicable, enable EverRoot.
6. Select both Wipe data and cache and Wipe Dalvik cache
7. Click flash firmware.
THANKS: weltwon and Chainfire for root & unroot method, codeworkx for the newer versions of CWM, count dooku for discovering than TW ROM's don't include a kernel the hard way, invisiblek for testing stock ROM on p5113, and all you devs who make custom ROM's and kernels.
If this guide has helped you, please hit the thanks button.

Great work!! Thank you!

this link is unable

If you mean the stock ROM's, both of those links work!

Well, crap
I just bought a GT-P5113 from Fry's yesterday and followed your instructions down to the letter. I was only able to get CM9 working but it is having wifi issues (many apps give `fail to download` errors when they download something on the internet - like swiftkey getting language packs)
CleanROM (1.0 and 1.1) and InfectedROM both don't get past the "Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" screen. I even let it sit for an hour to see if something would resolve but it doesn't. I've cleared data, cache, dalvik, etc before each install. I reflashed CWM like 4 times, I've formatted everything except the kitchen sink, I've repaired permissions, nothing.
I wish wish WISH I had a backup of the stock rom to go to as it was a better option than what Im stuck with now (the experimental nightly of CM9)
Is anyone having the same problem and figured it out or am I just going to have to wait until better ROMs come out? :-/

You're going to have to be the tester for the restore to stock procedure above.

I feel your pain. I'm in the same predicament. CleanRom hangs, CM9 is buggy. Peel cannot detect the IR blaster. Pulse and galary are not showing images.
I wonder is there is a page were I can check what bugs have been found and what changes have been made in CM9 nightly?
Thanks.

You can try InfectedROM. I used it and had zero issues.

Thanks MultipleMonomials for the suggestion. Just tried it, but this infectedRom is freezing on the SamsungGalaxyTab2 10.1 boot screen as well. I've waited for 5minutes for something to happen. So I guess I'll hop back to my CM9 backup.
(If only I had a stock backup... well a lesson learned.)

Oh. That's what you meant when you said Cleanrom hung. You might try reflashing a TW kernel (i.e. ADB fix) after flashing InfectedROM. And I don't believe any custom ROM's have support for the IR blaster (I might be wrong).

If i wanted to return to the stock rom on the 7.0 (GT-P3113) which one should I download?

This guide isn't for the tab 7.0.

So to return to stock i have to install (p5110 taiwan android, the link that is in the first page in 4th point *Return TO stock*) even if i am italian because why it is called *Taiwan android p5110* ??!

thx
thanks for your share

Your suggestion worked and most of the stuff is back to normal. Even Peel is starting up again. Just one other item I hope you have a good suggestion for. My Gallery app is not stating up, I complains about not enough memory. I suspect this is due to some privilege issue. I had created a tmp folder on the internal SD to hold the CM9 zip. I cannot delete the folder. If I access the DCIM folder I can't delete any of the image files. Thus I suspect an issue with the privileges.
I ran the fix permissions option in the Clockwork menu, and also ran some other permission fixer of google play. But they did not fix the privileges with which I had issues. I searched the forum for a similar issue & solution, but was unable to find it.
Do you have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!

Hi i am italian and i have P5110 what i have to download and install to return to stock with polaris office, music read hub and simliar ????

count dooku, it looks like your sdcard is corrupted. Get a USB MicroSD reader (you really should have one anyway) and copy your sdcard to your computer. (now's a good time to delete that folder) Then, reformat the card using Windows. Lastly, copy the files back to your sdcard.

Andrew1998, just flash the p5110 stock package.

i9000 unable to boot

Hi everyone
Last week I tried to flash Paranoid Android 2.52 over Slim 2.8, but then my phone started to bootloop. I was unable to get it to boot into recovery, only download mode. Flashing a stock ROM with and without .pit file and repartition would not let it boot. I tried to flash various versions of Semaphore with Odin, it succeeded but the phone still wouldn't boot into recovery. I tried CF-Root JW4 4.4 with success, it booted into recovery, but flashing a stock ROM still couldn't make it boot.
So I flashed Semaphore 2.5.0 through CWM, but from this recovery I can't flash anything, can't restore any backup and can't mount partitions like /data and /system. Does someone knows how could I bring my GS back to life ? Thanks.

I've used odin to root and flash cwm on the SII, SIII and Note I and II, I'm hoping it's similar. Have you already started from scratch? Flashed stock and then try and root again and go from there? See if there is a 'superwipe' option in any of the forums for your device to completely wipe it, storage and everything.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

As I said, I tried to flash stock GB ROM first, I think that's what you mean by start from scratch, but it seems like I can only flash kernels... I'm gonna check for a superwipe.
Edit : it seems like there's no superwipe for i9000...

try to format everything ( after you have saved your important files to PC) in CWM and than go into download mode and flash a JVU ROM +Root +CWM with 512 pit from My Android Collection
Need to know what is your phone model . Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
you can get a rescue kit from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions
Need a guide, look into My Guides and Manuals
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card, after flashing and reboot , insert them back
Tips before Flashing:-
Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM
Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card
Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>
Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

My phone is the international GS (i9000). I can't even format the partitions =/ I already tried the 1 minute power button manip, without SIM card and SD, and it didn't help me flash... What ROM should I try ? Froyo, GB, one in particular ?

Post your n00b S4 i9500 rooting and ROMing tips here

There's a ton of info in the development forums, but for every answer you get you'll have two more questions. This will be the thread where I try to pool together the various tidbits of info I found. And hopefully I'll rack up 10 posts here or successfully install the WanamLite rom on my 9500 before I brick it somehow.
The step by step guides so far:
There's the ibtimes guide
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...00-root-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery.htm
The most solid CWM installation guide I've found is here (but apparently no rooting included)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274526
But here's a n00b feature that tripped me up for an hour: how to get the I9500 recognized by Odin. The CWM installation guide didn't cover it, and the ibtimes guide leads you to a driver download, but as far as I can determine, those drivers are actually for legacy non-android devices. The only way I've found the actually install drivers for the phone's Odin mode is to download and install Samsung KIES:
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
Now my phone apparently has CWM 6.0.3.2 installed but I've got nothing to show for it except that pressing volume up+home+power boots me into recovery. There's no rooting option in the recovery console of this version of CWM. Heck I'm not even sure it IS CWM since I never booted up the stock recovery mode to compare (maybe there isn't one?)
The rom of my choice, WanamLite, is taking hours to download. When it finishes I'll see if it directly flashes a new rom without going through rooting as promised.

I did it!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that current S4 stock roms can't be rooted or have CWM installed over them?
I couldn't get CWM recovery running until I flashed a custom kernel over the stock rom.
So the order of business for rooting then re-ROMing your i9500 is as follows:
1. Install Samsung KIES to get USB drivers for your phone on the computer
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
2. Flash a custom kernel via Odin, such as this one
(a) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264454
Detailed guide on how to flash stuff via Odin is here
(b) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274526
but instead of flashing the CWM recovery update, flash the custom kernel linked to in (a) or other custom kernel you desire
Remember to check the md5 checksum of the custom kernel file before flashing!
This will root your phone, with the "side effect" of giving you a custom kernel.
3. If you want to have a clean slate with a full custom ROM, you still need to flash CWM recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274526
(yes, this is the same link as in 2(b). This time just follow the instructions to the letter)
Remember to check the md5 checksum of the CWM recovery file before flashing!
4. Download your choice of custom ROM, load it on your external sdcard,
Remember to check the md5 checksum of the ROM file before flashing!
do the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41191141&postcount=130 (give him your thanks!)
Restart phone in recovery (press volume up+home+power buttons)
wipe data/factory reset.
wipe cache partition
advanced options->wipe dalvik cache
Go to Mounts and storage submenu:
format /cache
format /system
format /preload
Choose install zip from sdcard->choose zip from external sdcard
Find and choose the rom you downloaded
Install
Restart
Well, it worked for me... first time I managed to root and ROM a phone the first try without soft bricking it, so I must have done something right this time :laugh:

General advice prior to Flashing any phoneIts always best to do a "clean" install. meaning you should remove any old scripts, data, cache, junk before flashing a new ROM, this is like taking a bath before using new clothes. For some models it is a must do, for others it may not be a major problem or can be resolved by flashing the dbdata.rfs to clear out the remaining junk that you failed to remove before flashing . But if you had "lagfix" and did not undo it, it can cause internal SD card unavailable situation, which can be difficult to resolve.
Hence before flashing its advisable to
a) undo lagfix, IF you had any.
b) Do a factory reset by settings>Privacy> factory reset ( erase SD Card - optional , as formatting SD card could be too)
c) And even going into recovery to wipe everything is also good.
d) Removing SIM Card and External SD card ( makes it easier for phone to boot up initially after flashing a new ROM)
Doing this will give you a "Clean" install or fresh start for your phone.
Make sure your Battery Charge is more than 50%, Samsung requires you to have 100% charge when using KIES to upgrade.
Reminder, What you do with your Phone is your own responsibility, so do it at your own risk​ ​Flashing Procedure for Stock ROM using Odin3​
1). You need to Factory Reset Phone first go to settings >Privacy> factory reset also can be done in recovery
2) Power Down and Enter Recovery Mode and wipe data and wipe cache
3) Power down and remove battery, Then reinsert the battery and Enter Download Mode
4) Fireup Odin3 on PC and Connect phone with USB cable to PC
5) Now select the ROM you had downloaded in Odin under PDA ( do not tick or press anything else )
5a) This is optional, depending on needs, meaning if your phone has problems than PIT file is used to partition the partitions.
When using , select M190S PIT file under PIT and (make sure re-partition is checked on Odin3)
When not using do not select re-partition on Odin3
6) Press Start Button on Odin3 and wait till is completed
7) Once phone has booted up and everything is working, power down and enter Recovery Mode, here you "factory Reset" phone one more time
That's it Now you will be using the new ROM you just flashed.
For Rootiing M190S using Tegrak kernel, ​Flashing Procedure for Custom ROMs using CWM
like CM, AOKP, MIUI​
Custom ROM Downloads
Download from Here CWM Recovery, CM, AOKP MIUI etc
CM 9.1 all fixed
Basic Knowledge ​
First make a Backup of your current ROM, such that you can return to it, IF the ICS, Jelly Bean ROM is not what you expected it to be. How?
When Using a tegrak Kernel on the M190S , you can get this done on the bootup screen , by entering it and making a system and also a dbdata/data backup of your phone, which can be restored by using the terak kernel again IF WD19 ROM is what suits you best.
Your backup will be placed in the Tegrak Folder in the Internal SD card...so save this to your PC or external SD card for safe keeping.
Stock and Tegrak Kernel cannot be used for ICS or Jelly Bean ROM, and you need to use a Version 5 and up CWM (ClockWorkMOD) recovery, to flash the Jelly Bean or ICS ROM direct from your SD card...as such the first thing you need to do is change the Recovery on your M190S to a version 5 ClockWorkMOD.
Which means you need to use Odin and Flash the recovery.tar in download mode, just like you flash kernels and gingerbread ROM's on your phone in the past.
Here is the basic procedure for Jelly Bean or ICS Roms upgrade​
1) Download the CWM Recovery.tar File attached below, the ROMs in .zip format ( it can be as many as you wish, for you to test them out, one after the other) and Place them in a Folder (create and name it as you wish) on your SD Card Also Download the Gapps.zip (Google apps) Files that need to be flashed after flashing the ROM. ( So it will always be two packages to flash, in order to get your phone functioning)
2) Flash the version 5 and up CWM recovery on your Phone, How?
Put your phone into download mode, Fireup Odin3 on your PC, connect to Odin3 with USB cable, select CWM Ver.5.0 recovery.tar under PDA and Flash it. Ensure you do not reboot the phone by "UNTICK" reboot in Odin3 such that it will not power ON after Flashing, in case it does power ON, just pull out Battery , press power button for 30 seconds and insert battery again
3) After flashing recovery with Odin, You can enter " Recovery Mode" . You do this every-time you want to switch to a JellyBean or iCS ROM or to utilize the many features this recovery has, like Backup/restore/fix permissions and mostly to do the full wipes (NEEDED to be done every time you want to SWITCH ROMS) etc
4) Once in CWM Recovery you do the Full wipes (use your volume keys to move up or down in the recovery menu to select and the power key to execute that command).
The undermentioned wipes need to be done and will constitute a FULL Wipe of your Phone but your SD card will not be fully formatted as such your Images and other non system files will remain as is.
a) Wipe data / Factory reset
b) Wipe cache
c) Enter advanced and wipe dalvic Cache
Once the full wipes are done,
5) You now choose the ROM you placed in your SD card by selecting "Install zip from sdcard" which will lead you to "choose zip from sdcard", which will take you to all the folders you have on your SD Card..scroll down to where you placed the downloaded files and select it
Once selected the ROM will be Flashed on to your phone, so wait till it says "install completed" Now you do the same selection process again (Step 5) to select the Gapps file and wait till it says "Install completed"
6) That's it, Now select "Reboot system Now".
Now the ROM has been installed on your phone, so let it boot up and you can repeat this procedure to switch again and again till you have the best ROM of your choosing.
​
In the event that it fails to boot-up or you placed a wrong ROM that caused a boot loop or any other problem, just look in My Android Solutions , IF you cannot enter Recovery mode to flash another ROM.
You can also use Odin3 to Flash a Gingerbread ROM in Download mode and use your backup to return your phone to its original state.

I am not sure which m190s ROM has the CSC files as well as others that you mention and I do not use this model, so I will attach the dbdata.rfs file for M110S, which is identical and closest to this model, flash it to recover and solve your problem after that you can flash the WD19 ( M190S Latest ROM) to make it perfect.

you need to read and follow the guide, for factory reset, and wipes are very important and must be done for Korean versions. In fact Internal SD card has to be formatted before flashing for Korean phones.
so now try this use PIT file (re partition must be ticked) with the froyo ROM , you need to enter recovery to do wipes once it has booted, read the guide.
if that failed than use the CWM recovery with auto reboot unticked , after that power down by removing battery than enter CWM using combo keys, here you need to the wipes as mentioned in the guide than flash the Jellybean ROM using CWM

solution depends on what and how you try to root your phone, so if you don't provide all the details and what you phone is saying on its screen, its not possible to guess what you did.
but if you flashed CWM and reboot phone, you need to read the guide again, as it is written, you should not reboot but enter CWM recovery to flash the ROM
You can also look at My Android Solutions ( link below) to see anything similar

your screen shot is showing the stock 3e recovery ( means you had flashed a stock ROM), if you flash the CWM kernel and power down and use combo keys as written in first post you will get CWM recovery
it does not matter as long as the ROM you downloaded and flashed was for M190S . so here I am assuming you had not followed the flashing procedures as you must do the wipes and factory reset before and after flashing.
Please take your time to read and read the guide before flashing , its a step by step process, nothing must be skipped.
