Hey,
I made a thread the other day about getting a good ROM because the others seem to die after 3 days. Does anyone have an idea of why this happens? I have tried 6 different ROMS in 4 days and they all the do the same thing; Apps won't open, phone constantly on boot logo, apps crash, phone freezes up, phone won't boot up.
The phone is around 4 weeks old with minimal wear.
I would appreciate all feedback.

That's my problem. When I did flash a custom ROM, they all froze, crashed, non responsive etc etc. So this has made me not want to flash a custom ROM, but I want to because of all the perks that come with flashing /:
You have maybe to update bootloader or modem or recovery before flashing. .
Give some details about your actual configuration and the rom you flash...

I had CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and I tried Gooh S5+N4 ROM, S5 stock by Jamal, XNote, Omega and N9005 Dev Base (RC tea I think) and a couple others. When flashing, I did all the normal step, wiping cache, wiping data, dalvik when told and leaving the phone for 10 minutes after it boots.
Do you want any information about the actual phone?
You have N9005 international? ???you have flashed stock KK one time???your bootloader and modem version....
You have to factory reset during flash.......

Yes, I have the SM-N9005 LTE. I am now running Kitkat Official 4.4.2. Sorry, but I don't know how to see my bootloader/modem version.
I m running with stock recovery if that helps.

1. Reflash the stock ROM.
2. Root with CF Auto Root.
3. Flash this custom recovery: TWRP (better than CWM).
4. You can remove the bloatware (HERE) and enjoy the stock ROM.

Sorry but I don't like the custom Roms. It's coz they are constantly updating and fixing things, no coz they are bad. Every device don't answer in same way with same ROM either. It's only my opinion . Last choice is always yours.

thanks guys

Every day I personally lose confidence in roms here
Not talking about a certain rom and creator - to emphasize this
Talk about creators who have in their hands a model - for example I9500
but make rum for I9505
Clearly easier replacing certain files etc. but how the ease with which it share with so many people after you have not personally tested your phone
Once again this is a personal opinion I respect the work of any developer but not so

Hey guys,
I know this is kind of answered in alot of different places but nothing is guiding me to the correct files, just want to be safe and figured this was the best place to make sure i hit the bullseye.
Just updated to poland 4.4.2 kitkat and was looking to install a customer recovery so i could grab the latest version of xnote and a few other goodies. Could someone please guide me to a download section/link for cwm? or maybe twrp? which ever would work easiest

Just try a data factory reset after you flashed a custom rom next time, that should fix the boot issue.

Have you tried clearing the caches after the flash? Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom? Flashed the correct rom for the N9005?

I have an S5 G900V that was rooted to Lollipop. For a couple of days now, when you wake it up the screen sometimes would not work. I would have to turn the screen off for about 30 seconds then it was fine. Well, today I restarted it and now it just reboots. I have gone through odin, with a couple of firmware's for it. Really all I would like to do now, is clear the custom logo. Verizon is sending me a new one, so I dont care if it even works... Thank you for any help,

And you flashed the AO8 kernel or firmware after installing the ROM? You have to flash NK2 kernel now to get into Safestrap and AO8 when you're done. SS isn't compatible with 5.0, so you always have to downgrade the kernel to use it.

Yes, I tried both of those kernal's with firmware.... Its odd how its acting like nothing it being flashed to it. My replacement phone should be delivered today, so I guess I will just shoot some juice to it. I was hoping to at least get it running and back to stock, maybe its just not ment to happen.
I'm having a hard time installing new rom. Everytime i flash a rom it doesnt boot up and just stuck on the samsung text. I waited for almost an hour and a half but it doesnt really boot. :crying:
Maybe because it's the wrong ROM.

Try this.
BACKUP YOUR FILES, DATA ETC. from your internal memory on to your sdcard.
Remove your sdcard.
Get a different sdcard 2-4gb
Download your new rom again and copy it to your 2-4gb sdcard.
Format everything (cache, dalvik, data, system, boot etc.) in your mobile through the recovery.
When finished, use FORMAT TO A CLEAN INSTALL
Put your sdcard with the rom to install in to the mobile phone.
Install your rom.
When installation finishes stay in the recovery menu.
Do a FACTORY RESET through the recovery.
Take your sdcard out.
Reboot.
Try it and let me know.
All good?
