However, when i am in CWM, I can't seem to click install .zip from SD, because I keep getting an error! It says E: Can't Mount /sdcard/... How can i fix this? I placed the .zip file on my internal SD

Actually everything has worked out fine! Thanks a lot! And I was also wondering what programs do I install to delete bloatware? This might sound nooby, but I purchased my first Android about a week ago

A Request for a friend in need.

Hi All.
@Sztupy, Doc, Kalpik and all those who have ways with programming.
I am STUCK. I have a working phone with Sztupy's Goodbye RFS 0.1.
I tried to flash Doc's barebone v4 & it failed. Here is what I got on the CWM screen.
Waiting for the SD Card to mount (20s)
SD Card mounted...
ROM Manager version 2.5.0.4
Preraring to install ROM...
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting DATA:...
Formatting SDExt:...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
--Installing SDCRAD:/update.zip--
Finding update package...
E:Can't open update package... (bad)
Installation aborted.
I had a working download & working recovery. I still have. BUT, in download mode, windows 7 x64 doesn't recognize my phone, when I uninstall my Samsung x64 drivers, my phone goes into MTP, but with installed USB drivers, nothing happens. SO, I am stuck with this ROM. cant downgrade, cant upgrade.
If someone can help me out & give me a update.zip which can repartition ALL as per 512 pit before trying to install, I will be very grateful.
That seems to be the only solution to me, BUT if anyone has an easier solution, I welcome it.
Thanks in advance. I love this community which has given a reason to treasure my SGS.
zip you are installing is corrupted it seems. Most likely it didnt finish downloading.

It downloaded correctly, I did it twice. I can even extract the whole archive in my computer without an error. I have been making & maintaining my computers for the past 17 years, but NO programming skills.
Just read - that rom uses some kind of lagfix too. No idea what (havent followed it) but good idea to ask/look in that thread how to disable it and how to update, etc.
maybe your clockwork corrupted
download clockwork again and ...
if you use lagfix first flash an official rom and then ty again
My guess is that there where an active lagfix when Op started to update. It messed up the filesystem and now its not possible to connect to phone. Have never experienced this even after 500+ flashes.

Doc, is it possible to undo ALL the changes done by Sztupy's 0.1 IN your ROM?
Ok, when in download mode, windows gives an error, I click on it, it takes me to the driver window. I uninstall it from there, after unplugging it, plug it back & the same error, mind you, its a working SGS in all respects.
ALAS, why is GOD punishing me!!!

Not sure, my rom flashes a new kernel, so all previous lagfixes should be wiped

Place the rom on internal sd, install quickboot from market, use it to enter recovery, flash the rom again?

How do I install a ROM?

Hey guys, I'm trying to insatll adfree pro and the new market to my oxygen rooted desire.
I put the .zip folder in the SD card and used ROM manager to install the ROM, however when it finalized and booted back up, adfree pro wasn't installed. Any ideas?

im knew to the desire as i have a galaxy s, if the apks are in the zip why dont you instal with a file manager or an appinstaller
Thanks for the reply thebazman, I've just installed appinstaller, however it's not reading my .zip files. Am I supposed to extract them beforehand?

can you not instal adfree from the "old" market

Indeed I can, but I like keeping stuff up to date, so I'd ideally like the new market.
However, I'm not hugely keen on the new market so it's not a big loss anyway.
I was going for adfree pro also.

[HELP] Gio and CyanogenMod 7.2-GIO-KANG

Hi guys. I have a huge problem. Few minutes ago I tried to install CyanogenMod 7.2-GIO-KANG by use CWM v5.0.2.7. Everything appeared to be ok, but when phone reboot I just can see white word ANDROID on a black background and nothing more. Phone just stop on this screen. Is there any resolution for my problem? I modded lot of phones, this is my first crash. Thx for every advice. Bye
Same issue. Is there a way to restore to stock firmware without odin? Such as from the recovery console?
If before you had an official rom, you must use the ext4 formatter. I think you'll find it in the thread! Hope to be useful
Sent from CM9 Gio with the XDA app v.v
i've noticed sometimes is does take a minute or two to get past that screen.

Now I have a new problem, it no longer allows me to boot the device, it displays an image of a phone connected to a pc. Does this mean I have to flash in odin?

Have you downloaded gio_v1.0.ops?
That may cause the "an unnamed file was not found" problem
all you need to do is "wipe data/factory reset" ... i didn't use any ext4-formatter and it works well..

I have this issue too.
Im new to android but I followed the thread, I:
Root
install CWM, then nandroid backup
flash CM7 in CWM
I downloaded the CM7 KANG file and tried several times, thinking file might be corrupt. Same problem.
Unfortunately my backup didn't work, so I'm ordering a Jig to fix my phone.
But I'd like to know what went wrong.
I didnt reformat my SD card with 4ext though, should I have?

Help with Installing CleanROM.

Hi, I will have my hands on this tablet very soon and want to use the Cleanrom that is listed in a thread here. This will be my first time doing this and have been searching around for a guide. I have read a few bits and pieces but would like someone to explain in a few steps so i can get this right the first time.
I found a guide to Root it at rootgalaxynote.com but would like to understand how to install the CleanROM.
Hello,
You have to install TWRP Recovery first, then you need to copy Rom.zip to storage and then flash it using Recovery, dont forget about Wipe.

I havent installed anything yet as i will be receiving it for christmas. Not 100% sure on process so was posting here hoping someone could explain the process a bit more in laymans terms as this will be the first time i will be doing this. i understand you have to root the device so you can change the ROM, wasnt sure on what to do after that.

All you need is to Install Custom Recovery to change ROM, that will allow you to do anything you want with your device (such as System Backup/Restore, installing .zip packages, and etc.) read thread about TWRP so you can find everything you need to know.
But notice the fact you'll lose your warranty installing custom roms, as I know there is no way to change warranty bit back to 0 yet.
All information you need to know about Custom Roms is already there.

Build says CleanRom 1.0 but all apps are still present
My build says CleanRom 1.0 but I still have all of the apps that others say are removed such as Sketchbook. My note was rooted using the AutoRoot file with Odin and then the stock recovery was flashed. I then used the twrp 3.0 file and booted into recovery. I then installed CleanRom (without reset per instructions) and the device rebooted and everything worked except all of the apps were still there. I then tried to re-flash CleanRom and perform the wipe but I then got stuck on the Samsung splash screen to no avail. I booted into recovery and tried re-flashing the CleanRom zip to no avail. All I could do to get this thing booted was to flash the auto-root file again in Odin, re-flash twrp, and install cleanrom again from the recovery but all of the apps are still there. Before I did any of this I had a bunch of the bloatware either frozen or uninstalled in Titanium but now some of those apps show lines through them in TBP. Either way, my device is showing CleanRom 1.0 under the build but I really don't think it is... any ideas on how to fix this?
Hi i'm a newbie on android
i've tried to install this rom a lot of time but unsuccessfully at any time
i've tried all the solutions i found here but none were successfull
i am under TWRP 2.6.3.0
my tablet is rooted but after the rom flash ,when i reboot ,just after the "galaxy note edition 2014" logo there's a black screen
the only way to repair is to flash with the mk1 stock rom after or to restore my old version saved with TWRP
can someone help ?
thanks

Before flashing your rom perform a factory reset in twrp and format /data. All your apps will be deleted and you should be fine if you are stuck on the samsung boot logo it might help to boot into recovery and format /cache and dalvik cache

So, I did the factory reset in twrp and then formatted the data. Naturally, everything was lost but when I went to install CleanRom it was no longer on the internal memory due to the format... but I did copy it to the Ext SD Card. MY problem is that twrp won't install the zip from the sd card. Each time it says its unable to mount "/data" even though I'm going into "advanced settings" and placing the check mark. I re-flashed twrp and tried using file manager to move the file to the internal storage but came up with the same problem. Also, I can't place the check on mount data for some reason. Now, my tablet starts to boot up but hangs on the samsung screen before the boot animation. Basically, its like there isn't any firmware on it and I tried re-doing the auto-root and stock recovery but thats a no go as well. Is this thing toasted?

Boot into TWRP and click "Restore Back Up" (Cannot remember exact verbiage) . Find where it says internal storage and press it and it will switch to a drop down and you can choose "External SD" Then go back and and it should be going to External SD instead of internal SD when you select install
Make sure you factory re-set. For safety, I advance wipe but I don't think that is necessary.
You may need to re-flash recovery if you're unable to access it.

Your device is not toasted I always have the Rom zip on the root directory of the device so formatting /data will not affect the rom zip. If you cant get it working then you might need to flash a firmware via odin and after that copy the rom on the internal root directory. Resetting your device should not format the whole internal storage so you can install the rom afterwards. Good luck mate

After the holiday (and many stressful attempts) I was finally able to re-boot the device and get past the splash screen. Opening Kies seemed to "kick" past the splash screen even though it said my device wasn't compatible with Kies. Anyway, I flashed the stock recovery, wiped, reset, flashed original firmware via Odin, flashed TWRP again, and then installed the CleanRom zip. Phew... it's FINALLY over with no issues and running smooth. I think the problem came in with TWRP not wiping correctly even though it said it did. I do appreciate all of the help and advice as you guys are life-savers!

Missing data after 4.4 update

Please help. My wife did the 4.4 kit kat update on her note 8 5110. Update seems to finish fine but now all her data is gone. It looks like the internal SD card is cleaned. However, I see that under storage, it says that only 1.2 gb is free so it seems that the data is still there but not mounted. I tried to root the tablet using CF root method but every time I go into the tablet, it says that SU has stopped. I install Philz CMW to try to fix root but that did not work either.
Hopefully someone is able to help me. I was hoping to be able to root and go searching for the files but no such luck. I am not too familiar with adb commands but if someone can point me in the right direction to be able to copy her personal files out and move them to the new location on the tablet. Thank you.

Are you letting recovery flash SuperSU for you? If so, I suggest that you try flashing the installable zip file in recovery from this page instead.

Hmmm...
Did you test for root with Root Checker? I don't understand how you could have done all that and still not be rooted.
Since you have a working recovery you might want to try backing up all your partitions to the SD card, removing the SD card, and flashing the 4.4.2 update with Odin. Then try the CF-Auto-Root again and if that completes successfully you can flash your custom recovery, insert the SD card, restore the data partition from the backup and look for the missing data.

Can you point me to an odin package for the 4.4? I tried searching on google and it points me to sammobile.com. Looks like you have to pay to download. It tried reflashing the cmw package with my sd card and it keeps failing. Not enough space.
I am ready at this point to wipe out everything start clean on the tablet.
Thanks.

It is sammobile.com but you don't have to pay.
Assuming you have a GT-N5110 the firmware you need is here, including instructions on how to install it.

Thanks for your help ramjet. I made an account and downloading. I'll try it out and hopefully it clears my issues.
Do the files not show with My Files, or Solid Explorer, or even plugging it into a PC?

No luck at all. I ended up formatting everything to clean the card then odin the official 4.4 update. Wife only had pictures (sync to dropbox) and audiobooks on there. Still could not get root. I was not able to flash any 4.4 rom either.
Guess I am going back to 4.2.2. That version rooted fine and I have a Titanium backup of her tablet before updating to 4.4. Hopefully everything is okay after 4.2.2.
