Why would you follow such a tedious guide to get TWRP, when you can just flash CoCore kernel with twrp? Well now just try to get into download mode and flash stock jb again.

ginzon · May 28, 2014

OK guys thx will try CoCore kernal... I am able to get into Download mode sometimes so guess will flash Stock Firmware from sammobile...

After Stock Firmware=>CoCore Kernal=>Custom ROM

Hope this time it goes right...

In the future look for guides here on XDA, not on some third party sites... You have all explained here, just look good and read.

For future - do not flash GB kernel over any other ROM than on STOCK. Do not flash CM kernel over Stock JB, do not flash stock or CoCore kernel over CM based ROMs.

Hi,

Thx for the info..

Well the future one went a bit in air.. Guess I'll have to read more to understand more.. Will do that..

Till then can you tell me whether Flashing EHNDROIX V on Stock Firmware with Cocore Kernel will be good?

Thx a lot...

You can flas it. Maybe without CoCore too. From stock recovery.

Well but they didn't mention we can do that with stock recovery so not sure about it..

Can you help me with CWM recovery if there's any for this phone, I found a temporary one but don't know it would be helpful or no... I've used CWM earlier on a phone...

CoCore if is hassle free then will go with that.. Coz another run dunno how it would turn out to be... :cyclops:

Yes, with CoCore you will get CMW, permanent one.

OK thx.. will try it out...

ginzon · May 30, 2014

Thx a lot guys..

I have installed the ehndroix v ROM... They have Superuser built in, so no need for SuperSU.. Thats good..

Now when I use Titanium BackUp, it says the su binary is outdated.. So where to get the new su binary from? how to confirm what version it is and how to update? I know Superuser is not into this, its just a management tool.. So how do I get about it?

Thx in advance

If TB is working then no need to update it...

Ok Thx.. Yes it seems to work.. Like it verified the backups and restored it too.. atleast it started the installer and I did install..

BTW seems all the features I use are working n this Firmware.. However is there a better option than Nova Launcher, I tried GoLauncher but didn't like it much compared to Nova....

Also I found FM Radio missing in this firmware and also the default Music app.. I installed default Music one from F-Droid and also one from PlayStore but where do I get a tuned in Radio? All are internet based... Spirit FM is very expensive... Can you help me to find the stock one for this...
Thx in Advance..

One Learning, since I'm new to Android (correct me if wrong), Dalvik cache can be cleared at will if you want to force android to rebuilt the apps cache for faster loading.. Right?

There is no other FM radio for CM based ROMs. Only Spirit FB, and there is free version too. Look on XDA for developers thread.

You can clear Dalvik cache, and it will rebuild after reboot. But there is cache already, so I think it will not speed up loading more.

Ok so guess, won't be doing the wipe frequently...
Will search xda for Spirit Free...

Last question:
Which launcher do you suggest?

Thx..
