Which rom slot are you trying to flash it? You should only flash in the stock rom slot.

and the reply you got was to use stock slot.. NOT a rom slot.. i thought it said in instructions for the rom to use stock slot?

No I dont think so I thought that was the whole point in installing safestrap so I could create a rom slot
so i wont mess up anything on my stock slot. I would send you a link to the vidoe on youtube im using to
install Alliancerom but it wont let me bs im a new member.

What you should do is backup your stock slot, wipe it, then flash your desired ROM in the stock slot. Safestrap isn't 100% functional for our particular phone thus the slots not working

Installing AllianceROM using Safestrap

I have try to flash both from the internal memory and external sd card. Do you think maybe I dont have enough memory on the phone to install Alliance rom I have about 2 or 3 gigs of free space on the phone, and 117 gigs on sd card.

Try downloading the rom again or check the md5. If all checks out move it to root of SD card and try. If it still doesn't work install on STOCK slot like everyone, and the op for that rom, tells you to do. Everyone is installing to stock slot to avoid errors and problems. I wouldn't even recommend to try on rom slot anymore and just go straight to STOCK slot.

Thank you if I Do this and something go wrong will I be able to restore the phone back the way it was im new to all this.
Im knid of scared

chrisbass · Aug 31, 2014

Yes, that's the main reason you back up your stock slot to your SD card, on your computer, or somewhere it's safe and readily available. Just in case anything goes wrong it'll let you wipe the stock slot, restore your stock backup and you'll be right back to the same state you were in before you flashed your new ROM. If your scared or apprehensive about anything just read ( and re-read) as much as you can find on the specific topic your interested in before doing anything to your phone, XDA is incredible and I'd say 99% of the answers your ever going to need have already been answered somewhere in some thread. Sounds cheesy but knowledge really is power. Good luck, don't be scared, and most of all have fun.

I GOT IT

Thanks guy I got it to work AllianceRom is now running on my phone with safestrap, I had to clean up the phone to increase memory.
A I had to download the Rom file 3 times from a couple of different web sites. So im guessing it was the memory issue or a corrupt or damaged Rom file.

Works on partition and over the stock slot for me.
