Hi, i dont seem to get a tar.md5 when i unzip cm11.0_codina.nova.20140712.zip.
Please explain whats wrong
i see whats wrong. I seem to try install cm11 on galaxy ace and not fully understand difference between core (cm10) and the software for ace (cm11). Feel free to instruct me. But maybe i figure it out myself.
When I tried to enter into the custom recovery mode(twrp recovery for odin downloaded from this website), it only displayed a blank screen. I have already performed all the aforementioned steps carefully… what should I do?
Hey, I can’t get file with *.tar.md5 extension after unzipping “cm10.0_arubaslim.nova.20150916.zip”. What’s wrong?
HI guys. Thank you very much. I didnt flash the rom with odin be cause it is not a .tar file. I installed TWRP via Odin and then copied the rom into the sd card, then flashed it with TWRP. I coudn’t find google apps in the download page for galaxy core. Any hints?
