Head over to the development thread to learn more about the latest release of Resurrection Remix firmware.
Interested users, who wish to install Android 4.4.2 KitKat on their Galaxy S using Resurrection Remix ROM, may follow our step-by-step guide.
IBTimes UK reminds its readers that it will not be held responsible for any mishap. Before following the installation guide, users are advised to verify their devices meet following requirements.
Pre-requisites
1) Install USB Drivers for Galaxy S to transfer files between the Android device and the computer.
2) Enable USB Debugging Mode on the phone to connect it with the computer and use Android SDK with it. [Press Menu>> Settings>> Applications. From there navigate and click on Development option and then check the USB Debugging Mode.]
3) As the tutorial might wipe out all data of the phone, create backup. If the device is having any custom recovery such as ClockworkMod or, TWRP then backup data using the same.
4) If the Android phone powers off due to lack of battery during the process, it could damage the device. Therefore, the Galaxy S should have charge above 80% battery charge.
5) The phone should be rooted and have latest version of ClockworkMod recovery.
6) Android 4.4.2 KitKat Resurrection Remix ROM works only with Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000. As applying this to any incorrect variant might brick the device, verify the model number of Galaxy S by navigating to Settings>> About phone>> Model number.
7) After flashing the ROM if the device gets stuck on Booting animation or experience boot loop then perform wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache for a few times before rebooting the device.
8) Once the ROM is installed, users are advised to give 10 minutes to the ROM after the device boots up for the first time for a better user experience.
