**WARNING** [ROM][4.1.2]SHV-E160L-MB2-Cherry Rom **WARNING** SHV-E160L Models Only

Link Online at bottom of post
Hi All,
Well i've been working on this for a while and finally decided i would consider release on what is done so far.

May I Present

Dakrpsr1te's Cherry Rom for SHV-E160L on JB JMA3 leak. MB2 NOW

This is a beta/test of my rom,a vast amount of testing has been done on my side, now it's time for the world to join in.

It's called Cherry Rom as it's my first rom ever, From debricking my galaxy Note in November 2012 to releasing my first cooked rom on Feb 18 2013(Actual File will take longer to upload).


For SHV-E160L Models Only, Flash onto the Jelly Bean Leak JMA3
This is a test rom and not recommended for your daily driver phone, Incorrect usage can and will brick you device, you have been warned and I wont be responsable.
It is also recommended you factory reset/clear cache via the TWRP recovery before you first boot, see below.
IF YOU DONT WANT TO FACTORY RESET,DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE, TESTERS ONLY.

Part One: Collecting Needed Files NOT for users not on Jelly Bean Leak JMA3

Download Jelly Bean Leak for SHV-E160L from Jelly Bean 4.2.1 ODIN TAR file .TAR.MD5
Download my TWRP 2.2.3 from TWRP-2-3-1 Odin Flash TAR DO NOT EXTRACT
Download Odin V3 from Odin V3 NEEDS EXTRACTING
You also Need latest ADB from ADB-Tools.zip NEEDS EXTRACTING


Extract All zips, each to their own folder, Remember where you put those files, we need them soon.
Once you have all the files we go onto part two


Part Two: Flashing
First thing is put your device into Odin Download Mode:-

1. Remove USB & battery, Replace Battery
2. Hold Volume Down & Home, Then press power, on first vibration release power
3. At the Screen showing Korean Text release all keys, Then press volume up.

You are now in ODIN Download mode (Odin in red writing in top left Corner, if the device reboots or does not show ODIN, try again from the battery pull)
Load Odin V3, and select PDA button, browse to where you extract the Jelly Bean .TAR file ( remember you have to unzip the download Jeall Bean Kies file to produce a dot .tar.md5 )
(NOTE: some users cannot flash with the .tar.md5 file, some version of odin reject it too, in this case remove/rename the .md5 extension so it's only .tar)
then select PHONE button and browse to where you placed TWRP .tar file and select that

you should end up with this screen or similar :-


NOTE: I added twrp to phone as the way odin does its flash is as such :-
Bootloaders flashed first
PDA flashed second
PHONE flashed third
CSC Fourth
UMS is final flashed file
so even though the .TAR kies odin flash is written, our PHONE flash file (TWRP) is flashed after, therefore overwriting out factory recovery.img in the ODIN tar file.

Then click Start, when you see recovery.img for the second time get ready to hold VOLUME UP & VOLUME DOWN, When the device says RESET OK, hold down those buttons,
The device should now boot directly into twrp, from the main screen select wipe, then factory reset. Once factory reset complete press the back arrow (The on screen back arrow, Not device's back button)
You will now be back at the main screen, now press ADVANCED

Now click on the start menu, type CMD and press enter
at the Windows C:\ Prompt type
cd \folder-to-where-you-extracted-ADB-Tools
then type
adb sideload "pathtowhereyouextracted-cherry-rom"

An Example

now on your device press ADB Sideload, after a short time, you will get activity on TWRP display screen


after a short time you will the see the reboot screen, press reboot and we are DONE!!!!

For users already on Jellbean, you can just follow the ADB side load instructions.
for users with issues's running ADB sideload then you will need to use adb push to transfer the cherry-rom zip file to your phone, in recovery mode /emmc/ is your internal data/sdcard and /sdcard/ is your external sd-card if you have ones installed, you will then just select install zip.

If you are having issues with above instructions, then please read the FORUMS BEFORE YOU POST QUESTIONS THAT ALREADY HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!

Well I hope you find my first attempt at a cooked/fixed rom a worth while effort, it's been a good lesson in learning the structure of android, apk, java and more.

NEW!! ROM!!

SHV-E160LMB2

Darkspr1te's Cherry ROM MB2 for Vanilia Jelly Bean Install's
I will update the info later, time for bed, it's 1Am here and i wanted to get this out
This is a beta rom so expect a few niggles, I will produce patches later that will fix the minor stuff,
Ive not done much in the way of speed tweak, I also recomend you reset to factory, install Jelly Bean .tar file from odin first and then flash this file

It's a multipart .rar file, use win rar to reassemble, the flash the zip file using adb side load
if you cant sideload then copy to the device.

Recommended Steps For Flashing.
Put phone into download mode
In odin select Your valila copy of the kies update and put in PDA option box
then select the posted TWRP and put in phone.
click start to flash and watch the progress,
AS SOON AS IT finishes the flash with writing the second recovery image hold down VOL UP AND VOL DOWN for the reboot, the device is now in recovery with twrp
you can either do adb sideload (choose advansed on main menu) to apply the patch or adb push and place on the sd-card (Note in recovery the phones internal memory is /emmc and the sd-card is /sd-card , so it you dont have a sd-card inserted you must use adb push filename.zip /emmc/)
once the file is sideloaded ( or installed via twrp install menu option for adb push users)
then do a factory reset once more.

Enjoy your Cherry ROM

Many Thanks DarkSpr1te!

I would just like to show my appreciation of your work darkspr1te!

From Unbricking my hardbrick SHV-E160L to installing this custom rom of yours and having the SMS fixed. I am having troubles with the SMS for about 2 weeks now until I flashed your rom. There's just one thing I want to tell you:



Of course I pressed the thanks button for you! It's just sad to know that you don't have your device with you now. And I was late with the news but I am taking the benefit of your cooked rom and I am loving it. I hope you continue your good work not only with this device but with the future devices that you will develop. You make small people like me very happy with the fixes that you provide.

I really am a fan of you from now on darkspr1te! I hope you read my post so you can see this message from me.

For that will only make me happy.



Godbless darkspr1te. Once again many thanks to this rom.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]SHV-E160L-JMA3-Cherry Rom

Every patch I've applied to this ROM is portable to i717 ROMs too, technically they are the same chip sets, they differ in modems mainly. I've opened up a lot of technical info into the structure of the i717 and its counterparts.
