    I downloaded 2 roms and they do not have those folders inside. Only .bin and .img files. I can’t extract those files either using 7-Zip. Help please!

    Valentine Filyov

    That’s because you downloaded a ROM which is flashable through Flash Tool and not through recovery ! 🙂

    Apek

    i stuck at bootloop .. it just restart again and again. .what should i do?

    Valentine Filyov

    Just flash another ROM 🙂 If you can’t get to the recovery then flash a rom through Flash tool 🙂

    Ben

    I also got stuck at boot/ or faced a restarting issue. But I fixed it by replacing the boot.img of port with stock boot.img
    .

    Charles

    Is it normal that I dont have exactly both files in the 2 different roms ?
