Ok. Download ROM manager and use it to install regular cwm recovery.

I would use the non touch recovery and wipe cache,wipe data, wipe systeam, then flash super wipe. Install ROM, then flash the cache wipe.zip I posted. reboot and let us know.

Also if you have an external , put the ROM you want to flash on the external sd.

Go into mounts and storage and format /system /data and cache wipe dalvik factory reset and flash this rom

After you flash that you have to re root your device use regular cwm not touch and then flash whatever rom you want

I tried everything but its not working for me. Everything is still force closing and the same bloody rom and theme shows up everytime i flash a new rom. Tried flashing through the external sd card as well but no luck. It shoes Google Framework not working. is there any way around it. Its bugging me now. Even tried flashing cwm through rom manager but no luck there as well.

SORRY man cant do that. I worked really hard to earn this cell phone and wont let it go for free. I bought it for a full price off the contract and don't think will be donating it. I am pretty sure people will be able to help me here. Its not like the phone is dead. Its working except for a few disruptions. Besides people are offering me $450 even in such a condition.

yup. not from any folders.
oh sorry didn't see this post, but basically the MD5 checksum allows us to check if the file we downloaded exactly matches the original file
example (not real obviously)
Thursday ROM has a MD5 of 1234abcde
but what you downloaded has 2234abcde
that means you have a bad download. there is probably a couple bytes different in your download.
like both files can both be 300.1MB
but they might actually be 300.12 and yours is 300.10
THATS why md5 saves us a lot of time
NOT all md5 are listed, but thats the gist of it.
oh and remember your SDCARD card is
sdcard/external_sd/
That's the thing I tried a couple of roms and they all failed. So I'm pretty sure it's my phone.
In this case scenario what should I do to re root my phone. I know there's a couple different ways such as unrooting to sell.
So which method should I approach?
Thanks for all your help btw!

You don't need to Reroot, rooting is just superuser.. it just sounds like you need to get a new recovery that's all. You're already rooted right?
then just download Rom manager and reflash the CWM recovery in there.
Yes i am rooted. Can you link me to a site where I can dl a rom manager?

If you did it right then you should be up and running with no problems. If you are having issues you need to be more specific so people can help. Also, if you flashed format_all, then flashed the ROM, you need to go to the ROM Updater and pick up part 2 of the ROM (it finishes theming Gtalk), download and flash it.
Going to be away for the evening but if you'll give some further details there are others running this ROM who can assist.
Good luck

As Esoteric68 said, lacking a few details.
What problems are you seeing, or are you seeing problems?
Being that you posted from your phone, are you still running it or did you have to do more? as well...
:edit: Also, you have multiple posts on the same subject and it makes it that much harder for people to help you. Try to keep everything in one place and there are tons of much more smarter people then me to help ya out. (Like that grammar issue thing I got going on)

HTC One V fails to complete a factory reset in TWRP recovery

I'm the type that likes to ALWAYS do a clean Rom install by wiping EVERYTHING. I've tried looking through the forums but cannot find a decent answer as to why my Virgin Mobile One V fails to perform a full factory reset immediately after swiping to confirm. All that displays is "make_extf4fs" and "FAILED" highlighted in red at the top of the screen. I tried every troubleshooting step recommended to me but still nothing seems to fix this issue and without a solution I cannot do a clean install of my roms that I normally do. What should I do? If anyone has a reliable solution please do help me out. I would greatly appreciate it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
It has been brought up in a thread here and I've been told not to worry about it and that it wont affect anything but in my opinion it does so i found a full wipe flashable zip that i use along with the other wipes. Let me know if u want and ill upload it and u can have it
Sent from my One V using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
It does affect because after it continued to fail I attempted to flash my Rom anyways and all it did was constantly reboot my phone so I had no choice but to go back to stock and reboot but am stuck with the same TWRP issue so if you can provide me with a wipe flashable zip that will do the same wipe procedure please do. Thank you very much.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Read the log on the screen. It is trying to wipe an sd-ext partition. If you haven't partitioned your SD card, then it will give you that error. It is still performing a full wipe of the other partitions.
Sorry if this is a noob question but this is my first time experiencing this issue so how exactly would I check to see if the sd card is partitioned? I assumed it would automatically be that way after flashing the recovery. It's always been that way up until now.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
It's looking for a second ext partition on your card. This is used by various app2sd scripts (such as link2sd) to fool the phone into thinking the apps are installed on internal phone memory instead the normal android way. If you haven't partitioned it yourself, then don't worry about the error message. It's just letting you know it didn't find the second partition.
Oh OK so besides that a full factory reset is still being made? Because I thought that was the cause of my roms not working properly.

[Q] Possible hwr problem need advice.

So here's my issue. My phone no longer allows me to flash roms from my external or internal sd card safely. What happens with every rom I flash is twofold. Data connection is always lost, and any reboot causes the phone to boot directly into download mode bypassing the odin flash page. The phone recovers from this with a simple odin back to stock. However, not being able to use non stock roms is no bueno to me.
Does this sound like some internal hwr problem? Is this an SD card issue? Would love some insite.
Which recovery are you using?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Using clockwork recovery current version
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Every ROM I flashed had some bugs and they started to multiply. I used Super Wipe and killed EVERYTHING.
I then loaded every zip onto my micro SD via my computer and put it in my phone. Flash and Go.
I went back to stock rooted MA7. The glitches were gone,
So my suggestion is to do a recovery of your first full backup or do what I did.
Okay will try super wipe tonight thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Or if that doesn't work use twrp.

Okay, I can't find the thanks button for you guys. THis is the solution. Don't use CWM recovery. TWRP worked wonders, and because I didn't format recovery in cwm so superwipe would probably had helped as well
Glad its working now. I have never used cwm on this phone. But twrp has been smooth sailing.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Use twrp on my s3, and cwm on the wife's note 2. Never had a problem with cwm. Sounds like the problem was not doing a full wipe with cwm (and not a problem with the cwm recovery itself)? But, whatever works for you.
