thats because the rom you are trying to flash has no signature, all you have to do is use a recovery that lets you flash unsigned .zip's, the latest version of clockworkmod recovery that comes with the unrevoked flash tool lets you do this

I did what you said and it worked from what i can tell and it loaded on AuraxTSense. The problem is at start up now it just says loading, this may take a few minutes to complete and just hangs there. I can't do anything with it and i can't change the rom from the recovery menu so now i'm even more stumped.

at witch part is it saying please wait? has the rom booted? did you do a full wipe before flashing? try doing a full wipe from the partitions menu in recovery and re flashing the rom

rebooted it and this time it just loaded up properly. Strange but hey.

Thanks for you help on my previous problem. It's basically the same issue but i've also tried deleting the partitions in the recovery menu. I've tried changing the rom from clockworkmod, nothing is working. It just puts AuraxTSense back to default.

Disable signature verification in your recovery, wipe all partitions and reflash firmware, if it doesn't work, redownload it and try again with every wipe(don't forget about them)

when I go to recovery, the "triangle with sign in device" logo appears, This always happens when I go to recovery mode. And I cant see "disable signature verification".
Available Option in this Recovery is :
Reboot system now

That is the stock recovery...you won´t be able to flash a custom rom from there. Check is you are S-OFF or it won´t work.

Ok, I am sending you a PM.
Try this software it is what i have used 4 times not to put on the right recovery mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821 works great

Can nor restore to default Rom. Any suggestions

I tried restoring back to uprooted original Rom but the RUU errors out. Even downloaded new one.
I then extracted the boot and system image and the boot will flash but the system shows as bad and will not flask.
Rebooted and tried to recovery the rom zip but again fails as bad.
So right now I am at a lost on how to restore to a factory fresh system.
Thanks

Is this the error you are getting?
Error Code: -5001 : 0x80070002
Error Information:
>SetupNew\setup.cpp (142)
I'm getting the same thing with the RUU I downloaded and am seeking to get back to stock. So far no success, but see my thread below to see if something I've tried might work for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30025087#post30025087
It'll be easier to diagnose your problem if you post any error messages.
You need to have stock recovery before running an RUU.

I have the stock RUU I used it last month without issue. When running it when it try's to update ram I get an unknown error 155. Make sure you have correct software.
When I extract the rom to flask. It fails and says bad rom.
I was able to find a zip original rom and using recovery from zip I was able to install and revert to 1.29.401.11
But trying download the software update to the new version after installing the original recovery and relocking it fails on install. It get about a quarter of the way through then recovery gets a red exclamatory or something and installation stops. So I tried installing the RUU again and still get the same error hoping that a fresh install would correct the update issue.
I hope this helps

Did you try power and up-vol at the red exclamation screen. I thought I saw somewhere that this will work (trying to find the link for it)? Give it a shot and let us know.

OK, I get it, you don't have a problem getting back to stock, but rather it's an OTA update error you have. I don't know anything about OTA updates but this error message should help someone else troubleshoot what's going on. Is it possible that you've used the incorrect RUU, but it just happened to work for you and now your image does not correspond with your correct OTA? Maybe post the exact file name of your RUU and the results of "fastboot getvar cid" and "fastboot getvar version-main".
Good luck!

[Q] Status 7 Error?

I know this has been asked hundreds of times, and i searched the forums for days for a way to fix it, but with no use.
I have a rooted AT&T Galaxy SIII with JB 4.1.1. I am trying to install the CM 10.1(4.2.2) Nightly version, but i always get the infamous "Status 7 Installation Aborted" error.
Yes i am sure im downloading the correct ROM zip file for my phone and carrier.
I have CWM 6.0.2.1, and i followed the steps correctly. (Clear data -> Clear Cache Partition -> Clear Dalvik Cache -> install ROM)
I have tried so many times, i also re-rooted my phone, reinstalled CWM, and redownloaded different nightly versions of the ROM, as well as other ROMS like JellyBam.
I also tried to delete the assert lines in the update-script file, but that also wouldnt work.
Thank you. :good:
And please dont hate on me, im new to rooting and flashing. :crying:

if you can boot into the phone, download ROM manager and update your cwm recovery. latest version is 6.0.2.8.
CM10 and 10.1 are picky about you having the most recent version. cheers

Hi guys, I'm having same issue but on N7000 international version. I'm able to go in the recovery mode and download mode but phone won't boot normally. It's stuck on Samsung logo so can you please advise something? How can I update CWM if that's the issue. I was on ICS 4.0.4 XXLRK before trying to install CM10.1 on Note.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I would be doing my research in an N7000 forum, friend.
Also, your post seems confusing as you seem to be saying you also got a status 7 error but then you appear to have installed abroad and are stuck at the boot logo. If you successfully flashed the correct rom for your device without any errors, pull battery, replace and wipe data in recovery. Reboot

Apologies for both confusion and using the S3 that to find some help. I just found the situation quite familiar so I couldn't help myself from asking the question
On the situation, I was able to install CWM and am able to go to recovery or download mode but the error displays when I try to update the zip of any rom.

If the phone itself is functioning fine but you simply cannot flash a new rom or rom update, you need to update your recovery. Go to clockworkmods website and download version 6.0.1.2.

I would take up this situation in the correct forum. The more we discuss your device issues the more likey you are to download the wrong file or use a procedure not designed for your device software.
If you came from stock, flashed a rom and are stuck at the samsung logo, boot into recovery, wipe data and cache. Reboot to see if that helped. If not, seek advice in the N7000 forum. Cheers
Thanks for the guidance.

[Q] The Device doesn't boot into the system - SOLVED

Hi, I have rooted my device and installed a custom recovery. But that's it, haven't installed any new ROM, and still have the stock one witch it came with.
Today I received an update message, so I downloaded the new update, and as it should be, it requested a reset.
After the reset, the device boot himself into the recovery, ans apparently refuses to boot into the new rom, or anywhere but the recovery.
I performed a full wipe, and did a system restore. And still it always boot into the recovery.
Its a "Team Win" recovery v2.6.3.2
Help please.

I dont remember man...
I last time I rooted a device it was a Galaxy S2, and I cracked opened the **** out of him, and something like this never happened to me..
As I told, I did a system restore, why it still doesnt boot anywhere beyond the recovery?
One more thing,
After I manage to turn it off, it starts immediately as I plug in the power, but stops on the "Logo" and with this title in the up right corner: "Secure boot error! Cause: Device Unlock, so Boot Success"
Thats it... got this message and doesnt boot... After I unplug the power, it boots into recovery, and only then (whie unplug) I can order it to power off.
Iam desperate..
Ok, now I think I am truly Fckd up...
I accidentally deleted the only restore file I had... witch didn't quit helped me the one time I launched it.. but anyways, now even this one is gone.
So now I stuck with god know what system.. (I did launched the restore, bit it didnt helped).
I do have a working recovery, and thats it. Please help me restore the device to fully stoke.

Not sure. I was thinking Mahdi or Cyanogenmod. A complete ROM. If the 4.4.2 is a complete ROM, then yes. The update you are trying won't affect the recovery, correct?

Yes.. the update didnt effected the recovery, and from my experience it shouldnt... (the update is for the ROM, witch was stock)
Thats why I didnt install a custom ROM from the beginning, I wanted a rooted device, but for now I wanted to stay with stock ROM. After receiving an update message, I didnt think for a second that the root and the custom recovery will effect the update...
Maybe this update had something to do with the recovery... and because mine is custom, I have this issue...
Iam not an expert in the LG field, so Iam not familiar with those effects, the update caused...
Can you please look at the installation guide in the link I gave, and check if it is doable on my device.
Thank you for the help! :good:

Have you used any kernel tweaks or anything of that sort before? L-speed maybe?
If I am honest I am not sure ..I ran a couple of different roms then when trying to get back to stock this is where it all has gone wrong
I think the roms I used were leedroid and then viper
I think when installing viper it asked to tweak things that I oked
I occasionally get the same error but it has never stopped me from installing a ROM.
could it be because my phone is s on
when i try to instal a rom using fastboot abd i get the eror (9 ru_security_fail zip from usb command ion download mode)
just tried running this ..........TWRP Backup (Untouched System Image + Boot)
all installed then at very end got this .failed to mount '/devlog (invalid argument)
now just boot looping
Does anyone have any ideas before i skim the phone out the window
progress i have reinstalled a rom called rr-n-v5.8.4 resurection or something
i think this is the last rom that broke my phone i can run this now but it seems i cant go back to stock from here

I'm honestly not sure but I've had that devlog error before but like @lightweaponx said it never stopped me from flashing a rom. It happened when I kept messing with kernels and i think it has to do with disabling logging (stops device from creating logs to increase performance) but even then that error never caused me issues. Id suggest trying different twrp version if that doesnt work then perhaps you should RUU and retry it all from scratch.
There are a lot of threada and posts to get back to stock search arounr and im sure youll find it

Flash RUU and stay stock untill you actually know what your doing. Post your CID.
I have tried flashing stock ruu using the zip file but it wouldn't work
I managed to change Karnak last night and install leedroid everything went through but then on booting up it asked for decryption

How are you flashing RUU? You need to format data if you get that message. Can you please post your CID? I have a feeling your trying to either flash the wrong RUU or your trying to do it in twrp which you can't.
