[Q] [[Complete Step]] How to install Custom Rom for i9003

---

Why new Custom Rom doesn't work for my i9003 when everytime i install it?

However, after i install themes such as ICS-9lock on my device keep stucking at "samsung" logo and never boot into main screen. Can someone please help me?

This is how i did:
1) Put the "ICS-10lock-XWKPG_22.11.11" file into SDcard
2) go to Rom Manager > Flash into recovery mode (i choose i9000)
3) do nandroid backup & titanium backup
4) boot into recovery mode, select install zip. from SDcard.
5) choose zip from SDcard then install

After that the message show bellow>

Finding update package...
Verifing update package...
E.Failed to verify the whole-file sygnature
E:signature verification failed
Instalation aborted.

Then i choose
toggle signature verification
change from "enable" to "disable"
install zip. again message shown installation completed
wide dalvik cache in recovery mode,
After that, reboot system.

Once i reboot, i found out that my phone stuck in the "Samsung" logo... God, please help me !!
Currently my phone have been restart many time and flash so many time, i just want to get simple custom rom only. Amen...

I don't read every thread, and I don't know where you got this from. was it stated that this is in the format required for i9003, or did you just pick it up from somewhere else and try to install it?

if it's not for the i9003, then you have to re-flash some stock rom to fix your problem.

if it's for i9003, did you ensure you're using the same fw as was designated for the ics port? for example, is it for kpq and you're using kpq? if not, then you have to restore the backup you made before attempting this. if you forgot to do that, then you have to flash a stock rom to fix your problem. if they were matching and you're having problems, why not ask for help in the thread where you got it from?

Thanks for you review and comment.
First of all, i would like to stated that i have fully meet the requirement of flashing a custom rom. I'm user of KPQ of course i will find a custom rom for my i9003 KPQ. The purpose of this tread is to mention why every time i flashing a new custom would have the same problem occur whereby my device always stuck at the booting logo or reboot over and over again. This has make me troublesome to reflash back to stock rom when every time i failed to do that.

First, i root.
2nd, install rom manager
3rd, Flash CWM recovery
4th, do nandroid backup (use rom manager)
5th, application & data backup (use titanium)
6th, then istall .zip (custom rom)

Is't i missed any step before i flash a new custom rom??
What about deodex ?? it's necessary for us to deodex before we proceed to update our device?
However, i have fully meet all the requirement but why every time i flash different custom rom also failed.
Thanks again for your kindly advice

oops, first, I misread 9lock as clock

then, when flashing a custom ROM, in general, you must be deodexed first. if it's required, I would expect the dev to mention it in their thread. after flashing custom rom, you must also wipe dalvik cache. I don't know if it's necessary, but I do both dalvik and "plain" cache after flashing. have you done these two steps?

then, if you're installing the alpha ics release from the other thread, as stated, it's alpha, so not bug free. in general, custom ROMs will have at least one or two bugs, due to not every potential possible combination of operations can be performed without extensive testing and correction, and especially on our phone, the testing isn't so extensive since there aren't so many users.


edit: I found the thread you're referring to. it's "RC2", which means not necessarily stable (Release Candidate 2). go ask tripin for some help

Thank you for your advice.
Now i can taste my new themes with having a few tiny bugs. I'm so impress you can solve my problem. By the way, i will post up a new thread which guide other people to install custom rom for detail step. TQ

glad I could help

I can't say for sure, but I think your thread would go under "general", with [TUTORIAL] as the tag in the title, to save time. you can alwaysask a mod for confirmation

oops, my bad. as you can see, I was conversing with the OP, and this thread was actually for another specific problem, but since the title is a generality, here goes:

first, follow these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=754

then install cwm, put kishen's rom on your sd card, and flash and wipe normal and dalvik cache
