k first rom i tried AOSP 4.0.3ANDROID OPEN KANG PROJECT-TORO BUILD8 so i wiped data factory reset and cache n dalvik and flashed the rom, it looks like it starts to flash but aborts with the message above, then i restored my nan backup rebooted and went back to cwm to reflash the second time around i only wipe data factory reset cuz thats what the op says to do on his thread so i only wipe data factory n flash the rom still same error, so i went to try another rom GUMMYNEX 0.2.3 and i did the same process with both im following the steps their stating in the op in have cwm
From what the error sounds like is that it doesn't think you have the correct device. You have a CDMA phone and not a GSM?

sure you are using the lastest CWM???
sure you are rooted??
did you try downloading the files from another puter??
i think i might know what the problem is my cwm says 5.5.0.2 and im looking here at somebody posted in the development section for a cdma cwm and it says 5.5.0.4 could that be the problem? if so how do i redo my recovery, follow the same steps i did my first one, i downloaded and extracted the files to my c drive and opened cmd and typed the commands, can i do that again while having already cwm to flash the new cwm on top of the old one? if thats the problem
Download rom manager. Then you can flash it while your booted in android.

wooooord, aight RTcontent good looking out, i guess when u said it looks like it sound it was reading my phone wrong was right, i had a gms cwm, thanx man used rom manager and since i put the new cwm in my root of sdcard when i press install cwm it automatically update it without even booting into recovery but just finished intalling a rom and IT WORKED!!!! UR DA MAN im excited thanx
Prior to receiving my GS2 from T-Mobile I did research on how to Root, Flash ROMs, you know, all the cool things Android phones can do, and I mean A LOT of research. When I finally did recieve my phone the first thing I did was root it, which worked flawlessly - at which point I thought "Hey, this isn't so hard I won't have any problems at all!" OH BOY WAS I WRONG.
Here's where everything went wrong: The first ROM I thought I'd install was AOKP Milestone and then I'd try CM10, so I put both .Zip files into my SD card. I backed up to Titanium Backup and to my External SD card through Clockwork mod then I installed AOKP Milestone and made it to the home screen with some force close messages. It was running, but didn't look very stable to me and the whole "Swagger" thing turned me off to it. I went back to Clockwork Mod and the website that I got CM10 from also told me to run DarkSide Wipe before installing the ROM so I did just that. Ran Darkside, installed CM10, then installed Gapps. I then rebooted my phone and CM10 started to load up, but after 10 minutes of just the splash screen I assumed it was stuck in a bootloop. I then restored the backup I made before installing Milestone, but I remember there being an error and it not being successful. It was at this point that Clockwork Mod started being buggy. Starting to panic, I tried a factory reset through CWM. It formatted data no problem, but it would hang at "formatting /cache" until I turned off the phone. So I panicked some more and formatted system, emmc, data. (Not a smart idea, I know.) but it would hang when I tried formatting the cache again. And its been stuck in a bootloop ever since.
I read somewhere that you could use Odin to revert your phone to make it completely stock by flashing a kernel. I thought my prayers were answered! I was finally going to just start over and forget this ever happened! No. My computer won't even recognize my phone is plugged into it. (Yes, I have all drivers up to date. Yes, I am using Samsung Micro USB, and Yes, I have Keis installed.) Since my computer won't recognize my Phone, Odin won't.
* I can access Clockwork mod, and Download mode, but my computer won't recognize my phone when plugged in.*
I know it's a lot to read but I have tried so many things I'm just so discouraged about this whole thing. I know I'm a noob so please explain your answers like I'm 5. I don't understand most Android modding slang.
Thank you.

v6.0.1.9 Touch
If you have an external sd card, load a rom on to it from your computer and then get your phone into recovery mode and choose to install from external sd card. See if that works. Also sometimes a cache wipe can take a while. Also don't panic and start doing things you know nothing about. I would recommend and ice based rom then figure how to get twrp recovery then move on to cm10. . If you can get past this, I can help you. Pm me

Ok, I will see if I can get an ICS ROM onto my Micro SD. If it works I will PM you. Thank you.
I'm still open to more suggestions!
EDIT: The funny thing is, when my phone is in CWM my computer recognizes it and I can mount USB storage, but won't recognize it while in download mode. Weird.
don't use superwipe with cwm 6+. it will break your recovery and cause a bootloop.
also it seems that a lot of people have problems with cwm 6.0.1.9 and it seems like it doesn't wipe properly so i would recommend latest twrp or sk8terwitskil's cwm. i think that's what happened with aokp and why you were having so much fcs.

Battery pull didn't work either. :/
UPDATE: I've tried installing 3 different ICS ROMs from the external SD via CWM but they all seem to freeze 3/4 through the install. After about 5 mins of being frozen the phone reboots and the bootloop just comes back. Once again I have nowhere to go. I'm lost.
If anyone has more suggestions, please share!
i don't know where i read it but i just remember now that someone said kies and odin are incompatible. so maybe that's why odin couldn't detect your phone? kies might have been running in the bg.
so i would uninstall kies and driver. restart comp. then download and install just the driver from samsung website. then put the phone into download mode and connect to pc. see if that will help.
if not, i don't know lol. usually i would suggest flashing to twrp but i don't know how well that's gonna go over a broken recovery.
I would suggest flashing TWRP recovery 2.3.3 and try and flash a ROM again after....CWM has gone downhill in my opinion.
Here is the TWRP thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768742
Or download GooManager app and install that way
And do not use any cache wipe scripts with this.

You need to have computer install odin driver while you're in download mode before odin works. Try this wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe data/factory reset, format system, format cache and format system. Then flash new rom in recovery.

RESOLVED!
Funny thing is, I just plugged in my phone to a computer running Windows 7 and Odin recognized it! I guess my XP at home doesn't like phones. From there I flashed a stock kernel and VIOLA! Phone is out of the box new! Now I'm very weary about installing a ROM again.. I don't want to go through that ever again. Maybe i'll do some more research before I molest the software's insides.
Thank you everyone for your contributions!
Try recovery from sk8erwitskil, it's the only one that seems to work w/ my Hercules. I had similar problems to what you were experiencing and it's the only recovery that worked for some reason. I am on a GNex now so take that for what it's worth. I'll pull out the Herc. tonight when I get home to update to the CM10 latest nightly, it's been a while.
im not a noob and never had thid problem in years. i installed twrp through goo mananger. The weird thing is it installs kernels just fine, but not a rom, any ideas? please help

So, i installed cwm and tried to make a backup but then i ran out of space, so the backup failed, so i had to delete some stuff, now im trying to back up again, then i will try to install a rom with cwm
this is so strange, i didnt do anytihng out of the ordinary, i got root by chainfire, then installed goo manager, and then a custom kernel...the most viewed one right now, so i thought it was legit which im sure it is, then a rom..... to end the madness, then i keep getting errors, its so frustrating

Before you Odin back; are you still able to successfully flash any of the kernels you've downloaded? Also, if you downloaded any of the ROMs onto your computer, try browsing through the zips real quick on your computer.

Slow down, re-group, you are NOT going to brick...
First off, lets try some things, my first would be try a different recovery, copy a rom you want to the internal sdcard, then try. Bet it works.
I had a issue like this also, day 2 of my g4, pull the battery for 5-10 min, it seems the recovery gets confused and it will error.
another item to try...check to make sure the md5 file size is correct. common mistake, people for get to do a check.
try these, if you have the same issues, odin back to stock and start over.
Good luck. Your welcome.

Probably this...and a formatting of the internal storage couldn't hurt either to make sure everything is cleared out.
Hey I had same problem. Download through Firefox not reg browser. And for infamous use the last download link
Goomanger gave me 3 bad downloads. To test this theory try and open the zip through a file manager, it probably won't let you because of bad download.. Happened to me 4 times but stopped using stock browser to download those files and has been working ever since

T989 without any SD card in it, the one I had died apparently new one on order. Went to flash the latest PA rom but kept getting error 7 using CWM. I updated my recovery to the latest TWRP and still will not flash. I tried updating to the newest radio UVMC6, but that wont flash. I am currently on CM10.1 nightly. My process for flashing is recovery, superwipe, flash, which is when the flash errors out and I re wipe and then I can flash my CM10 back on. So I can flash CM10 all day long but nothing else. I searched on here and found that the ATT version of this phone has this problem and you have to flash an AOKP and then flash whatever you want, other phones with similar problems say use ODIN and flash stock and then go from there. I am just looking for any advice on this situation. I could not find anything specific enough in my search to help me and I am hoping someone here can. Thanks in advance.
Note: I have also tried flashing CM10.1 RC5 and has the same problems.

For onw those superwipe scripts are not needed with twrp, u might be getting the error from that, are u trying to flash from internal SD card since ur external died? That might cause it but I don't think so, I would suggest trying a manual wipe of all partitions, data, system, cache, dalvik, 2x , then flash, if that doesn't work try using Odin, go back to stock and start over, that should fix it definetly

Installing TWRP now and will have an update on the flash soon.
OK... the fun seems to have just begun
I cannot install TWRP from GooManager. No clue why, looking on here and I found //techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules (cant link too new of a member)

su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
OR flash it with ODIN... Which I would assume I get the .tar file and follow the same process as putting the recovery files in?
Aside from TWRP being an issue, I tried installing the PA rom with CWM and I got this:

I'm not sure what your overall problem is, but if you are going to install TWRP do not use Goo Manager or the img file. They have been messing up peoples phones. Odin the tar or try the zip from the TWRP thread.

Well that could be a problem... I just got GooManager to do what I wanted it to do before I saw this message. If I overwrite it with the tar will that be ok or am I better off starting this process over and Odin back to factory stock again?
Along with that after I got TWRP working through Goo Manager again I tried flashing PA again and I had the same error as I did in the first place.
Maybe my phone just hates anything but the nightly I had before...

If you can boot into TWRP, then they must have fixed the Goo problem.
It seems like you have tried most everything. Maybe you should Odin back to stock. If you are comfortable doing it, that is.
i went to flash with goo last night and it bricked the phone kind of, i had to ODIN and reflash the CWM again and bam the phone rebooted no problem

I did Odin back to stock before. I am still on stock gingerbread right now with root access and am getting the errors I have been. I followed the tutorials in the sticky thread that I posted before that got me back to stock.
Within TWRP I tried installing the newest Cyanogen Mod and got
E:Error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip
When I try installing the PA rom I get the same error
Any thoughts? Would going back to stock through Odin and doing this again potentially fix it? or is that a shot in the dark?
Lucky for me I kept a backup saved on my PC from before I did anything here. So I am back to the CM 10.1 Nightly I started on for the time being.
Is there any other method of flashing a rom that I might be able to try?

It would be a shot in the dark. I did a Google search for your error and a couple of people said they were able to fix it by using TWRP 2.3. That was for different phones though. Maybe try that before going stock.
I am by no means a pro at this and am still learning as I go. Just to make sure of what I am doing, can I Odin TWRP 2.3? I also found this

Just a thought here... I keep gettin emmc errors... I was reading about upgrading and downgrading TWRP through the Terminal Emulator and it said use emmc or sdcard depending on what the phone reads it as.
When I first got the phone i recall seeing emmc when i would go into any file browser. Now it just says sdcard0 (internal) & sdcard1 (external)
So how can I get recovery to stop looking for emmc and start looking for sdcard0?
Unless I am way off in left field here with this.

Yes, use Odin and the 2.3.3.0 tar from the techerrata website. I like using the Odin method because I have never had a problem upgrading recovery that way. I don't know about the emmc errors because I have only used the dd method like twice.
Edit: Maybe your internal memory is corrupted? I'm not sure how to test for that though.

I think u must be getting bad DL then because none of that sounds right lol, if u got twrp to load into your device and all is working fine then the only other option is a bad DL, try checking the DL with a root browser or something to see the size of the file, status 7 errors are from the zip, usually bad install script in the ROM, which could be caused by a bad DL, check the DL size and let me know

went back to 2.3.3 and still having the same error.
Is there a way to correct any possible errors in my internal memory?

Hello!
I recently got a Note 2 (GT-N7105)
And for some silly reason wich even disappoints myself i wanted to overclock , well that didn't make sense i know but however i did it! and directly after i installed the required file (I don't remember wich one but it was for 1.8Ghz) after the installing my phone kept showing the boot logo , i tried to use my backup but even after restoring it didnt boot! I cleaned everything wich also cleaned my backup...
I been on it for about 7 hours now trying different roms , kernels , and every file i could find but nothing helps.
I now installed Cyanogenmod using CMW but even that bootloops.
The last thing i could notice is CMW showing me a E: failed to Mount /efs (Invalid argument) Wich makes me worry even more...
I honestly hope there are some good peaple who could help me with this... Finally got a great phone and by stupid mistakes i made it won't work anymore..
I don't care what rom gets on it , Even if its a hello kitty rom u won't hear me complain , If the phone works again i'll be happy!
Not sure if this helps but its a GT-N7105 , i know it had the newest android there was (4. something, i think it was 4.3)
Odin does see the device , My CMW (6.0.4.1) works and Download Mode works.
I hope anybody can help me!
In case you want to help me live wich would be awesome my skype is : chrishendriks92
If it gets fixed i will Offcourse place the solution here.
(The note is not a new one , its used and a few months old , worked 100% before my stupid decisions bricked it)
(so here's a small version)
-Every rom i tried will bootloop , It shows a different boot video/logo everytime tho
-It all happened after i tried a 2.8Ghz Overclock
-i get a EFS error in CMW
-Accidentily i deleted my backup but i don't mind whatever rom gets on it
-Download mode and CMW (6.0.4.1) works

Ok, so what I would do.
I would wipe data through CWM.
Download official ROM from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin.
I hope this will help to get the phone booted.
After that we will worry about imei recovery.

Thank you for your reply:good:
I'm downloading it , looks like its going to take a while so i'll let you know!
Try mskips toolkit from skipsoft.net. It has a recovery package that should do the trick. There is a thread on it on here but i think it's closed due to Microsoft signature issues

I'm afraid downloading/Flashing the rom didnt work.
ill get the T-Mobile screen , and then the samsung logo where it gets stuck , the install was completed tho so no errors whatsoever
This is a picture link s30.postimg.org/8l0bgrxa8/image.jpg
Would be amazing if you could help me out with this because i can't choose ''Option 2'' right picture , it just won't take it.
I can install teamviewer or whatever programm you want
I have the same problem, I'm on 4.3 version and tried to downgrade to 4.1.1 and went back to 4.3, I formatted the system through twrp with NO OS INSTALLED to be sure it is totally cleaned but all the way, I still experiencing reboot issue.
At first I encountered unfortunately systemui has stopped, done rooting and fixing permission but still no luck.
One more thing, I already flashed pit file.
.
(Update , I tried anything i could but it didnt work out , its going to Samsung Support)

You installed a kernel right? To over clock? First flash new bootloader, then flash stock kernel, then again flash stock rom, do not let the device boot up before you have done all three.

I tried Agni pure kernel and followed your instructions but no avail,I think there is problem with the board,because when I wipe, the SuperSu also erased.

I said to install stock kernel not custom kernel, and after wipe when you install stock rom you will loose root and also loose all data and apps from previous rom anyway.

yup I already did that,I flashed stock kernel from http://opensource.samsung.com/.I know reflashing stock rom will delete everything including root.
What I mean is when Im rooted and tried to wipe the phone, SuperSu also deleted.Im wondering that I have a corrupted emmc, It seems that it is not mounted correctly, although I tried to flash a pit file already.
